Lin Feng tried to be the diligent and hard-working good guy. He studied hard, did his best to make his family proud and not get into trouble, but when he saw a girl being taken advantage of, he had to intervene. He had been tricked, sentenced to 10 years in jail and framed for a crime he never committed, all was lost. If his life was over he would take those who ruined his life with him

Suddenly he opens his eyes again. He is not dead, but alive in the body of the Lin Feng of a different world. This Lin Feng had been killed as trash of cultivation. This world where the strong had no regard for human life and would kill freely if they had the strength. Called “trash” and thrown away, with vengeance in his heart he will rise to new heights opposing the will of heaven and earth.

“Do not judge others in ignorance within my presence.

Those who think to harm someone should be ready to be harmed.

Those who are open and respectful shall receive my kindness and respect.

Those who plot against me are seeking their own death.

This is true, for I am death… I am Lin Feng”

This is a world where ancient immortal gods have passed away and evil spirits are breeding in secret.
　　Martial arts are prevalent here, and the Nine Pieces pass through the Immortal Gods.

The next morning, Su Mo got up early, freshened up, and headed into the Book Collection Pavilion.
The Book Collection Pavilion, a four-storey tower, was where the Sus stored scrolls of martial arts.
Before Su Mo had awakened his Martial Soul, he could only study the elementary martial arts on the first floor. Now that he had awakened his Martial Soul, and his cultivation was at Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm, he could choose cultivation skill and martial skill suited for him.
There were nine levels of cultivation skill and martial skill.
Each level was divided into three grades: Lower, Medium, and Upper.
Martial artists who used higher grade cultivation skill were naturally more powerful.
"Elder, I want to choose a scroll on the second floor," Su Mo said, saluting the pavilion protector as he stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion. 
"The second floor?"
The pavilion protector, a fat old man, said indifferently, "Su Mo, the second floor can only be accessed by those whose cultivation is at the Qi Cultivation Realm. No exceptions."
"I know that, elder. My cultivation is at Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm," Su Mo nodded and said.
"Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm?" The pavilion protector was stunned. Then, he said with a cold expression, "Su Mo, you just awakened your Martial Soul yesterday, and it was at Rank 1 Human Class. How could you be at the Qi Cultivation Realm so soon with that crappy Martial Soul? Even if you had a Rank 3 Human Class Martial Soul, it wouldn't be possible. Are you kidding me?"
"Humph! You'll see!"
Su Mo released an aura of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm with a serious expression.
Then, he turned around and went up to the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, leaving the pavilion protector behind.
"He... he did it!"
The pavilion protector was stunned, but then he laughed disdainfully and said to himself, "The Master must have given him some precious elixir, but he still won't be able to go much further with his crappy Martial Soul."
Su Mo went to the second floor and saw rows of antique bookshelves, which were full of scrolls.
The Sus was one of two main clans in Sunnywood City, so they had many cultivation skills and martial skills. There were almost 100 scrolls on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.
A tall young man was browsing the scrolls there.
"Su Mo!"
The young man was initially surprised to see Su Mo, but then he glared at him with complete disdain.
"Su Heng!" Su Mo glanced back at him.
Su Heng also awakened a Martial Soul yesterday. His Martial Soul was of Rank 4 Human Class Martial Soul, which was not as good as Su Yu's, but a high rank nonetheless.
Since Su Heng was on the second floor, his cultivation must have also reached the Qi Cultivation Realm.
"Well, this is unexpected, Su Mo. I heard yesterday that the Master bought a 'Qi Condensation Elixir' from the Herbs Shop, which is probably what you used to increase your cultivation!"
Su Heng looked at Sumo and said disdainfully, "Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Realm with that crappy Rank 1 Human Class Martial Soul."
"It's none of your business how I got this cultivation," Su Mo said coldly. Then, he began to browse the manuals and ignored him.
Su Mo knew Su Heng very well.
When Su Mo was still considered the top genius of the Sus, Su Heng had fawned on him, and Su Mo had been very kind to him.
However, Su Heng now had a completely different attitude towards Su Mo.
"Humph! So much for being a genius. You're nothing but a piece of trash!" Su Heng snorted and continued selecting his manuals. 
Su Mo picked up a manual in the cultivation skill category and began reading it.
"Raging Fire Skill. Medium Lv 1 Cultivation Skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method has extremely powerful fire power and has a very strong attack..."
Su Mo continued to browse after reading a few pages of this book.
He wanted to read a few more manuals to choose the most suitable cultivation skill.
All of the manuals on this floor were at Medium Lv 1. The manuals of Upper Lv 1 were only on the third floor.
However, those manuals were only available for those whose cultivation was at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.
"Huge Rock Skill. Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is dense and has strong defense..."
"Clouds Skill. Medium Lv 1 cultivation skill. The Genuine Qi cultivated through this method is pure and has equally strong attack and defense..."
After reading several manuals, Su Mo selected Cloud Skill because of its pure genuine Qi and strong attack and defense.
After choosing a cultivation skill, it was time to choose a martial skill.
"Iron Fist. This fistplay is fierce and can easily crack open stones after practicing to the great Completion Realm... "
"Flying Swordplay. This swordsmanship is ethereal, agile, and gorgeous..."
"Breeze Palm..."
"Infinite Push Hands..."
Su Mo was not satisfied with a dozen martial skills that he read.
"Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist?"
Su Mo's eyes brightened when he saw the name of this manual. He could recognize that it was extraordinary.
He opened the manual excitedly. "Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist. Medium Lv 1 Martial Skill. The body is like the sea, and the fist is like a wave. The fist force has many levels, and each level is stronger than the previous one."
"This is the one!" After reading for a moment, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
As he was about to leave with the two manuals, Su Heng suddenly blocked him.
"Su Mo, put down Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist," Su Heng shouted arrogantly.
Su Mo glanced at him and asked, "Why should I?"
"I was thinking about taking that manual, and I've decided that I want it, so give it back to me!" Su Heng raised his chin and ordered.
"Give it back to you? It was never yours!"
Su Mo scoffed and said, "The book is mine now, so you're not getting it."
"Are you sure?" Su Heng's eyes grew cold, and he said, "Su Mo, do you know what the consequences of angering me are?"
"What consequences?" Su Mo smiled and said, "I have no idea. Please tell me."
"You're a piece of trash, but you're still so arrogant." Su Heng shouted furiously, "Su Mo, I'll say it again. Give it to me, kneel, and apologize, or I'll break your legs."
"Kneel and apologize, or you'll break my legs?"
A cold light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he said indifferently, "I'd like to see you try!"
"You're courting death!"
Su Heng shouted, and his spirit of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm exploded. A yellow light shone behind him, which meant that he was arousing his Martial Soul to attack.
"Stop it!"
At that moment, the pavilion protector said with an icy voice, "No fighting in the Book Collection Pavilion, or you'll be banned for life!"
These words stopped Su Heng.
"Elder, I'm sorry. I won't violate the rules," Su Heng said hastily to the elder, stifling his anger.
Even though he wanted to teach Su Mo a lesson, Su Heng did not dare to violate the rules.
It would be a great loss if he was banned from the Book Collection Pavilion for life.
"Today is your lucky day. I won't let you off next time," Su Heng turned to Su Mo and snarled.
"Idiot!" Su Mo glanced at him and turned to leave.
"What did you say?"
Su Heng became furious again. He glared at the leaving Su Mo and gnashed his teeth in anger.
Since he had awakened a Rank 4 Human Class Martial Soul, his status had risen a lot in the Sus, and others were polite to him.
Today, he was insulted by this useless man with a crappy Martial Soul, and that drove him mad.
"Damn it, I'll make you pay!"
　　


Su Mo went from the pride of his clan to becoming the butt end of a joke in a matter of minutes. The former King of Mercenaries from Earth was reborn in the body of a boy in a foreign world and had used skills in his previous life to rise to the top among his peers, however, his previous training could only take him so far. The next step in this martial arts dominated world was to awaken one’s Martial Soul.
The awakening ceremony ends in disaster for Su Mo as he awoke a Martial Soul of the lowest level. Such a prodigy is now considered worse than useless as his Martial Soul is far too weak! After becoming the embarrassment of the clan, he discovers that his Martial Soul has a unique property: it could level up! This unique martial soul could shake the heavens. 
It was at this time that Su Mo meets the love of his life but the situation quickly deteriorates when she is taken by one of the most powerful forces in the world. Su Mo must rise from the lowest of the low and reach the pinnacle of power in order to save the love of his live within five years or she will forever be out of his reach.


On the cold night inside a dark cold cave a young man with a slightly pale face was seen lying down on the ground looking lifeless. But, a moment later a faint trace of life was seen and was getting stronger with each passing seconds.

"Arg... Where am I? Am I in heavens?" 

The young man slowly regained his eyesight and observed the place which he is now in. He observed the cave for awhile before trying to regain his memory on what happened.

He remembered that he was supposedly dead after a car accident which he himself was not clear about, after browsing through his own memory he found something not belonging to him

"Eh, why is there a memory that's not mine?" he asked himself before starting to check his 'memory'

After checking the memory he found out that he was now not on Earth but on a continent called Qin Huo, and 'his' new body originally belonged to a ex servant around 17 years old by the name of Li Xiao Long.

"So, I'm not in the heaven and now was in someone el... WAIT!" Before finishing his sentence his eyes glimmered with a trace of delight and inexplicable happiness

"HAHAHHAH... So this is the legendary plot which the MC was reborn and dominated the whole world"

Excited, he began to check the other memory he had just gotten. but what he found left him frustrated. He found that the original owners was a 'trash' without any Martial Spirits and are not suitable to cultivate, while forced to work hard to pay for his daily expenses. But one thing that left him stumped is that the fact that the original owners do not have any relative as he was already living in the street as long as he remembered.

Martial spirits in this world is one of the important factors which determine one's social status and person like Xiao Long can already be thankful if he was hired as a servant instead being forced to become a slave. Martial Spirits are graded from 0 to 10 which further divided into 4 realm, low, mid, high and peak, Martial Spirits above 10 is considered as an existence only found in legend, and there are none who has it after 3000 years even the grade 8 Martial spirits are rarely seen not to mention a higher graded Martial Spirits. On the contrary Martial Spirits below grade 2 is labeled 'trash' as most of them can only live 'normally' without any qi to cultivate.

As Xiao Long gotten frustrated he heard a sound in his mind.

['DING!' CONGRATULATION TO HOST FOR AWAKENING GAMER MARTIAL SPIRITS!]

[STARTER PACK ARE GIVEN TO HOST CONSISTING : GUIDE BOOK & 3 FREE SKILLS.]

[RECOMMEND HOST TO USE THE GUIDE BOOK!]

Blankly staring at the screen which appeared in his mind his heart began to jump furiously

"Is this a game system?" still shocked he decided to follow the system suggestion to use the [Guide Book] he had just gotten

"Hmmm... how do I use this" while thinking on how to use the book, the system sounded in his head

[Host can use it by issuing a system command via voice command, which uses "Use ..." to issue the command.]

Hesitated a bit he decided to try out the command. He silently murmured "Use [Guide Book]", A bright light flashes and memory consisted of the setting and the uses of the system began appearing in his mind, after a few hours of organizing he began to use the command he learned.

"Show Status"

[DING! ACHIEVED ACHIEVEMENT 'NOOBS', EARNED MAGICAL RESISTANCE LV. 1] 

[MAGICAL RESISTANCE LV. 1 MERGED INTO PHYSICAL RESISTANCE LV. 1 AND FORMED RESISTANCE LV. 0]

Shocked by the notification ringing, he was soon feeling ridiculous for getting the title 'noobs' which essentially the same with the term newbie, although he was dejected he was still glad for obtaining a skills.

"Now its time to check the status" While he was looking at the status bar in his mind.

 ...
Name - Li Xiao Long - 17 Years Old
System Rank - 0
Cultivation Stage - None

Martial Skills -
[Appraisal (Active & Passive) Lv. 1] - To check the data of the target, to use, simply focus on the target and think of activating the skill. While on passive state increases eyesight by 10%
[Play Dead (Active) Lv. 1] - By playing dead there will be a fixed chances of the enemy leaving.
[Resistance (Passive) Lv. 1] - Fixed rates of resisting a percentage of damages, increases with cultivation grade. The higher the cultivation grade of the opponent is the lower the damage can be resisted be

Bloodline - ??? (Sealed)

[UNABLE TO VIEW OTHER STATUS]
...

Although he does not know on what the standard of the world is he knows that his Martial Spirits is special as normally Martial Spirits only boosted the speed of cultivation and are in a form of objects, beast or plant. He was dead sure that the skill he had gotten is also heaven defying especially the [Resistance] skill thinking that when it was leveled high enough he will not be harmed anymore.

Feeling satisfied he closes his status screen and began to exit the cave, awhile after what greeted was a lush forest spanning thousand of miles, seemingly unending.

The Dan Wu Academy's Scripture Library was divided into three sections. The second section was only opened for those who were in the Spirit Condensation Realm. The current Ye Yuan naturally had no right to enter.
The first section collected Tier 1 martial techniques. It was just perfect for the current Ye Yuan to use.
The entire section was packed with bookshelves. There were cultivation laws, martial techniques, as well as books related to Tier 1 Medicinal Pills. They were sorted out into categories and encompassed everything.
These books were all stone rubbings.[1] The originals were naturally kept at Tranquil Cloud Sect Headquarters.
Concerning cultivation laws, Ye Yuan was already cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Naturally, there wasn't any need to cultivate others.
And these books on medicinal pills did not even count as introductory to Ye Yuan. So they were automatically filtered out by him.
Only Tier 1 martial techniques were useful to the current Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan went to the area of bookshelves where martial techniques were kept and started to search for a martial technique suitable for him.
Casually picking up a book, he saw Blazing Palm was written on it. It was a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique with fire attribute.
Flipping through the contents, Ye Yuan shook his head. This sort of martial technique was too crude. There was no depth at all, and the power was too weak as well.
Even though the book bragged until flowers were cascading from the sky, with Ye Yuan's insights, why would he eye this sort of martial technique?
Placing the Blazing Palm book back onto the shelf, Ye Yuan casually looked through several martial techniques. They were mainly martial techniques on the same level as Blazing Palm, flashy without substance.
As time slowly passed, Ye Yuan already looked through several dozen books, yet not even a single one entered his eyes.
Ye Yuan could not help but sigh, thinking that this Tranquil Cloud Sect was so stingy, using these common goods to put up a front.
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Cultivation laws and martial techniques were the foundation of a sect. How could truly important cultivation laws be casually placed out in the secular world?
Ye Yuan knew that it was impossible to find a martial technique he wanted on this rack of shelves, so he walked deeper in.
The martial techniques on this rack of shelves were clearly much lesser, but the quality increased by a grade. They basically reached high-grade Tier 1.
Flipping through several books, Ye Yuan still did not encounter anything he was satisfied with.
It was not that he had nothing better to do, but instead, he wanted to see if there were any beneficial insights within these martial techniques.
To Ye Yuan, a middle-grade Tier 1 and a superior-grade Tier 1 did not have too much of a difference. A lower grade martial technique might not be bad, while a higher grade martial technique might not be good.
Just take Instant Flash for instance. It was only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique, but this martial technique had some distinctive aspect. So Ye Yuan tinkered with it.
Ye Yuan had just seen this Instant Flash martial technique. Briefly skimming through it, he knew that the insight of its creator was still too low. What he had altered was already much stronger than what was written in the book. Obviously, there wasn't any more meaning to researching it.
Walking further in, there were no longer books on the shelves but a scattered bunch of jade pieces. Ye Yuan know that this was where the essence of the first layer laid.
Highly profound martial techniques could not be recorded down on paper. Only jade pieces could record or replicate it.
Ye Yuan used his essence energy to inspect several jade pieces. These martial techniques were all high-grade Tier 1 martial techniques. These were actually already very rare.
Any single piece of these jade, when placed in the outside world, were objects worth cities. After all, Essence Qi Realm martial artists made up the largest portion of the population in the State of Qin, and the vast majority of them cultivated either low-grade or middle-grade martial techniques.
One high-grade martial technique jade piece to them was something they could only dream of. It was enough for their strength to immediately increase by one stage.
However, Ye Yuan did not have much interest in these high-grade martial techniques. He only looked a while before putting them back.
Ye Yuan had already walked to the deepest part of the first layer. If he still could not find a martial technique he was satisfied with, he could only settle with these high-grade martial techniques.
On the last shelf were only three jade pieces.
Clearly, these three jade pieces were not the same as the others.
Ye Yuan picked up the first jade piece, injected essence energy, and the information within the jade piece reflected in Ye Yuan's mind.
Thousand Feet Leap, a movement technique!
When mastered to the large success stage, it could shrink the distance to inches and traverse a thousand feet in an instant.
"A bit interesting."
Ye Yuan inspected the details of the Thousand Feet Leap. This movement technique had its unique points. Compared to Instant Flash, the Thousand Feet Leap's movement in a straight line was more outstanding. It was somewhat useful regardless of whether using it to sneak attack or flee.
This movement technique already reached the superior-grade Tier 1.
Placing the Thousand Feet Leap jade piece back on the shelf, Ye Yuan picked up a second jade piece. It was a rarely seen lightning-attribute martial technique which was extremely difficult to learn. Grade wise, it was similar to the Thousand Feet Leap.
Although it might be difficult, it did not draw much interest from Ye Yuan.
He casually picked up the third jade piece and investigated it.
"En? Stacking Waves Layered Palm . . . Incomplete martial technique? Estimated to be at least Tier 3 and above. It's just that it is incomplete, causing its current grade to fall to the high-grade Tier 1 category?"
Ye Yuan was attracted by the jade piece's introduction.
But it was not because this martial technique's grade was high. Tier 3 martial techniques were not exactly high-tier martial techniques to Ye Yuan.
What truly attracted him was that this martial technique was a martial technique that paid great attention to the way strength was utilized. When mastered, it could release multiple times, even several dozen times of one's power. The might of it was very substantial.
The introduction on this jade piece should have been left behind by a powerful figure from either the Tranquil Cloud Sect or the Dan Wu Academy. If one could execute this technique to its limits, jumping ranks during battle would simply be like eating rice and drinking water." Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.
Naturally, Ye Yuan also knew that this kind of martial technique would become harder to improve on as it progressed further. The difficulty of it would increase multiple times.
Simply put, it was easy to release twice the power. But the difficulty would increase for four times. After that, it becomes eight times, 16 times, and even 32 times. The further one advanced, the more terrifying it became. Naturally, the difficulty would also become increasingly immense.
Even so, this was a rather amazing martial technique. But sadly, it was way too incomplete.
. . . . . .
"En? You chose this martial technique?" Looking at the martial technique Ye Yuan chose, Zhao Chunyang was very surprised.
"That's right." Ye Yuan long knew that Zhao Chunyang would be shocked.
"But . . . This martial technique might be powerful, but it's incomplete."
Zhao Chunyang tried persuading Ye Yuan.
"I know, but this martial technique looks very impressive. I will put up with it first. We will talk about it again in the future," Ye Yuan smiled and then replied him.
"Not only it is incomplete, but also exceedingly difficult to learn. You know Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang, don't you? He also once tried to learn this technique, but in the end, he gave up. This technique looks amazing, but it's an arduous yet fruitless labor. Three days . . . Even if you are brilliant, at best you can learn the First Layer Wave. It wouldn't be much use against your opponent, right?"
Actually, Zhao Chunyang's words were already very implicit. In his opinion, even if Ye Yuan spent a month's time, he might not be able to learn the First Layer Wave.
What was the concept of the First Layer Wave? Just the increment of two times the power simply could not compensate for the difference in strength between Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping.
Rather than that, it might be better to just learn a more practical martial technique.
Ye Yuan had a rather good impression towards this Zhao Chunyang. At least he did not see himself as a joke like the others. So he smiled and then said, "Many thanks for your concern, Senior Apprentice Brother. But I have my own plans. As for the deathmatch three days from now, I think I can handle it."
"This . . . Alright then. Since you insist, I will not persuade you anymore. Try your best." Zhao Chunyang shook his head and could only sigh.

TRANSLATOR'S SYNOPSIS

Qingyun Zi was betrayed and murdered. Just when he thought that everything was over, he wakes up in a new body; the body of a silkpants named Ye Yuan. 


As he embarks on a new life, he struggles to cope with the loss of loved ones as well as to accept his new identity. 


Unresigned to his fate, Ye Yuan resolves to make his way back to the top while hiding his identity from his old enemies as he plots his revenge.
 

How did he revive? Will he be exposed and die again with countless regrets? Was there a mastermind behind all this?


With all these questions and more in his heart, Ye Yuan resolves to seek out answers as he uncovers a darker plot behind everything.

[Energy has reached a sufficient amount]

[Games System will now function properly]

[Initiating process]

A transparent screen appeared in front of his vision. The screen displayed a bar that was gradually getting filled up. 

Few seconds passed, the bar was finally filled up to the end. 

Ding*

[Do you want to enable Player status?]

[Yes/No]

[Warning: Agreeing will reset everything]

[Warning: Disagreeing will dissipate everything]

Ignoring the screens that have appeared, he was dumbfounded. 

He never expected that he could overcome his bottleneck.

Currently, his mind was all over the place. He pinched himself, trying to confirm that he was not dreaming at all.

'This is my Martial Spirit?' He was confused as he has never heard or seen someone with such martial spirit before.

Judging from how it could communicate with him, it is clearly an Intelligent-type. 

'I've heard a pet-type that has its own mind. I've seen a sword-type that has intelligence. But this one, it has no body or head. It's just a transparent screen.'

Right now, he has calmed down. He carefully examined the weird transparent screen. 

Touching it with his hand, he could feel the screen.

If he added some force at the screen, his hand would go through it.

The transparent screen was following his vision which is a bit annoying. He can't unsee it even when he closed his eyes. It will always follow him no matter how fast he turns his head.

He then decided to read what the transparent screen has displayed.

'Agreeing will reset everything and disagreeing will dissipate the energy he gathered into nothingness.' 

Zhen Lun sat on the floor, pondering the matter with a grave expression. 

Since his martial spirit is warning him, what it said should be true.

'By agreeing to it I'll be enabling this so-called "Player" status.'

'On the other hand, I'll have to start from the beginning.'

'There's also another choice which is to disagree. If I choose that everything will be wasted.'

He totally doubts that if he disagrees, he will receive another martial spirit. 

Without a martial spirit, he cannot pursue the path of martial artists anymore as the one with a martial spirit was obviously stronger

'Considering this was formed by the energy that I've gathered for the past eight years.'

'This 'Player' status should be very powerful.'

Even though he wanted to be optimistic, he hesitated to agree. 

Imagining himself, starting over was traumatic for him.

What if he has to go through eight years achieving nothing again?

After a while, he managed to gather enough courage to say it out loud.

"I Agree!" He yelled out with determination.

He stood with a blank expression as he waits for some responses from his martial spirit. 

Nothing is happening at all.

'Um, How do I agree to this?' 

He tried to moved his hand toward the screen and tried to tap at it.

The screen closed by itself, revealing more screens.

[Command received]

[Resetting process will begin]

Mysterious blue particles appeared out of nowhere and covered his body like a cocoon. 

Afterward, his body was gradually getting weaker as excruciating pain starts to flows through into his mind. 

The mysterious particles somehow managed to enter his cultivation veins and destroy everything inside. 

His dantian was then crippled, because of that, his muscles started to deteriorate.

Time slowly passed, Inside his body, there wasn't a speck of spiritual energy that can be seen.

After it completed its objective, which is destroying his cultivation, the particles around him converted gathered together to form a giant sphere that was as big as his head. It then went inside his body and disappeared without a trace.

Without him noticing, it actually formed new veins, allowing him to start over. 

Without the veins, he couldn't cultivate no matter how much he tried.

[Resetting process completed]

[Please choose a nickname for The Player]

A new menu appeared along with various letters to press on.

Seeing the command, he was heartbroken. 

'Till to this point is there any use of it, in writing a nickname?' He felt that his martial spirit was toying with him. 

His cultivation was destroyed and his stupid martial spirit was in a mood for asking his nickname?

At his moment, he didn't care about it anymore, without thinking twice he typed in the first thing that came to his mind. 

He typed 'The man that will become God' as his nickname.

It's quite a long nickname.

Zhen Lun clicked enter to submit his name.

['The man that will become God', Is that correct?]

[Yes/No]

Tap*

The transparent screen displayed a giant bar again. It was slowly getting filled. Finally, after it was filled, a bunch of screens popped out again.

Due to your arrogance and naivety, God decided to set a time limit. Fail to complete the task within a week time, will result in punishment.

-------

Reading the screen, Zhen Lun went from confused to speechless and dumbfounded.

'Path to god! You're head!'

'I was joking! Why did you take it seriously.' Zhen Lun cried as he complained in his mind.

'I should have just written my name and everything will be fine.' He was depressed. He got himself into a troublesome predicament.

'How do I get someone to follow me?' Zhen Lun looked at himself in the mirror.

His cultivation was recently removed due to that his body was now thin and weak.

'With my current strength, I doubt that I could get someone to follow me. I need to enter the path of martial artists first and recover my cultivation.'

Normally entering the path of martial artists take a lot of efforts and time but since he has entered it before It should be easy right?

'To enter the Path of Martial Artists, one must first reach enlightenment. But since I already knew the basics I don't need--'

'Wait...' 

Zhen Lun tried to recall the knowledge that he has stowed during his childhood. 

Particularly, when he was at the age of four-years-old, he read a lot of books.

There was a reason he didn't start cultivating right away. He tried his best to gather enough knowledge first. That way, everything will be much easier.

But somehow, he can't recall the knowledge that he has previously studied before.

'Don't tell me...' 

Zhen Lun sat cross-legged on the floor trying to execute the cultivation technique that he has learned during the past eight years. 

Every time he cultivates, his cultivation technique deepens. So, it is not exxagerating that he learn cultivation technique for eight years as he was cultivating the entire time.

'Why can't I remember?' Realizing something fishy going on, he quickly stood up

 He was trying to do a punching routine but to no avail, he cannot remember anything about the punching routine that he has studied before.

He tried to execute other combat techniques that he learned but the only thing he remembered was the name of the technique.

Now, he understands what the system meant by reset everything.

It was not just his cultivation but all of the techniques that he learned too.

'I also have to learn all the techniques from the very beginning?' His time spent on techniques were much longer than cultivating. To him, his knowledge of techniques that he learned was much more precious than his cultivation. 

'You're kidding with me right?' Zhen Lun was infuriated to death, he wanted to punch the transparent screen but his fist went through to it as it hits nothing but wind. 

Not only he has to cultivate from nothing, but he also needs to learn technique from nothing too.

Even though he finally awakened his martial spirit, He does not feel content at all.  

He then starts to rummaging his room trying to find a book, Book of Cultivation Technique. He is not wasting time.

'Found it!'

Just as he touches the book, The transparent screen started to act up again.

[Book of Mastery, Cultivation Technique] (Quality: 1)

[Do you wish to consume the book?] (Yes/No)

Seeing what the screen displayed, he was perplexed for a while.

'Consume the book?'

He then unhesitantly tapped 'yes'. He was curious about what would his martial spirit do with the book.

Immediately after tapping 'yes' the book dissipates into particles. The particles slowly flow into his body leaving a warm feeling inside his mind.

Along with the flow of particles, knowledge of executing cultivation technique was implemented into his mind. Following that, more screens were displayed.

[Mastery Book consumed]

[Due to the low quality of the book, the skill remain incomplete]

'It feels completed already but why did it say that it was incomplete.' 

He begins to reanalyze the knowledge he received. Just to confirm that there is nothing wrong. 

Surprisingly he found out that the technique was actually flawless to him.

Even though the knowledge of how to execute the cultivation technique was erased. The sensation and idea of how it works, he still remembered it as clear as day.

Feeling a bit unsure, He activated the cultivation technique on the spot.

'This... it feels refreshing!' Zhen Lun was shocked.

As expected from what he defines as flawless. Even though both of them are the same thing, the one he receives from his martial spirit is an entirely different beast. Just from the concept toward cultivating. It could be seen their difference.

Before this, he used to think that cultivating was a stressing thing to do. It was all because it takes a lot of efforts. It needs the person to fully concentrate, adjusting his focuses all toward cultivating, not sparing his mind in doing anything else.

However, The one he learned from this transparent screen. Instead of stressing his mind, it is revitalizing his mind. The spiritual energy was gathering and circulate in his body by itself as though there was something attracts spiritual energy towards him.

Moreover, this is an incomplete version. If he gathered enough books and received the complete version, what kind of miracles will happen?

The small sphere around his stomach is slowly gathering Qi or spiritual energy. It gathers small energy that was as small as a speck of dust forming a dantian which is necessary for entering path the of martial artists.

Yes, a speck of dust. Even though this cultivation technique is almost perfect it has one flaw that stood out after he used the technique.

The speed is too slow!

'At this speed, I can probably enter Body Strengthening Realm in a year time.'

'I need to gather more books to increase the progression to get a completed version.'

Well, even though Zhen Lun said that he does not have a way to obtain the books.

He is currently penniless, not a single coin is in his possession. He has stayed in the forest for too long that he felt coins was useless to him.

While he was thinking of the solution, he remembered there is one more book that he kept in his chest. He kept it just in case he lost the other one. 

Since there was one, he wasn't going to waste any of them.

Zhen Lun quickly opened his hidden chest where he keeps his precious belongings.

[Mastery Book consumed]

[Due to the low quality of the book, the skill remain incomplete]

[Skill progress 20%]

Since each book gives ten percent of progression, he needed eight more.

'What to do?' Zhen Lun rubbed his chin, trying to think a way to obtain money.

The idea of hunting to earn money was out of question impossible too. 

Right now he is probably weaker than a normal civilian. Most of the adults have already entered Body Strengthening Realm. With his current body which does not have spiritual energy, it was not exaggerating to say that he is weaker than a normal civilian.

'Should I sell this?' 

He grabbed a jade bottle from his chest, looking at the bottle he was feeling dejected. He was contemplating whether to sell or not to sell the precious pill that his teacher gave him long ago.

After he has been expelled from Peerless Sky Sect. He pleaded his teacher to stop sending him precious pills. Since it has been years but he still shows no progress, his teacher can't help but agree to his selfish request. 

Instead of providing him pills. his teacher bought him a cottage. That is how he ended up staying in a forest. This cottage cost his teacher a lot of money. With this, his teacher was in debt and currently trying his best to earn money.

The last batch that his teacher gave him. He has kept it in his possession for a long time. He wanted to give it back to his teacher but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to do it. 

His teacher disappeared without traces after he gave him a place to live in. as to this very day, he didn't even know his whereabouts.

Though he never saw his teacher again. he wasn't sad or anything. He didn't feel that his teacher has abandoned him.

'I'm sorry, Teacher. I have to sell it.' He stood up and prepared himself to leave this place.

Fortunately, his memory of the forest's routes wasn't erased by his martial spirit. Since he has been living in this forest for quite long already. He knew which routes to take in order to exit the forest safe and sound, without encountering any beast that may harm him.

After a while by following a specific route, he exited the forest without any trouble. 

Currently, he was standing at the outskirts of the forest. In front of him, he could see the majestic city that he used to stay.

'It's been a while that I come here.' The nostalgic feeling struck him. It's been a while that he went back to this place.

Inside of a dark basement, 19 years old teenage boy removing the wires on his body while smiling creepily. His dark hair that matches his dark and tired eyes with his amazing built. This mad scientist is Yi Xue who currently finished his another experiment on himself.

"Hahahaha! I achieve the money-maker system!I've been waiting for this time to come!", he shouted while laughing.

[I can't allow that. You need to work hard. Start doing mission.]

[F**k off]

"?!", Yi Xue was shocked by the sudden cussed of his system, "Where the hell did you learn that?"

After doing the daily exercise, Yi Xue changes into his new clothes and also take a bath. He looks around and feels that his house is a little small for someone like him.

"Should I buy a new house?"

[I suggest not. You should do work to acquire money. I estimated that your money will not last long since you like doing experiments.]

"Hmm... That is right. Asteria, what do you think I should do?"

[Made a street food stand then use the skill that you've got in the Lucky Draw.]

"That godly thing?"

[Yes, that 'godly thing' is actually delicious. Try it yourself but first, buy a Cooking skill since you've recently acquired an SP.]

[This is for your sake and my sake.]

"What? Anyways, buy that Cooking Skill, already."

[Buying...]
[You've acquired a Cooking Skill. (Level:1)]
[Warning: Practice your cooking skill to level 2 so you can cook the Godly Deep-Fried Dough Sticks (Sub-Cooking).]

"This system is a f**king scam!", Yi Xue shouted in dismay while walling.

Experimenting on his own body to achieve a great money system. Let’s see what Yi Xue will do when he finishes his Money-maker system…

The books that I had picked up was called the mortal world and it talked about the five different kingdoms and contained the history about how and why these kingdoms came into existence and from this book I got to know about this new world.

The five kingdoms that were present in the world were:

Sky kingdom

Air kingdom

Fury kingdom

Pure Water kingdom

Rock Hard kingdom

These kingdoms all together made the Martial World and each kingdom had various different sects. Each kingdom had a royal sect which was governed by the king of the kingdom. The book also informed me that all the sect would fight with the royal sect to get a seat in the competition of kingdoms.

The Competition of kingdoms was an event which occurred every 10 years and each kingdom would chose 10 members and they would compete in many different things that would judge their strength, willpower, intelligent and their quick thinking skills. There would be amazing rewards bestowed by the kingdoms to the wining team and this helped in deciding who was the strongest kingdom.

The last Competition of Kingdoms had occurred a year back and the result were 
1st Rock Hard kingdom
2nd Pure Water kingdom
3rd Air kingdom
4th Fury kingdom
5th Sky kingdom
 
Sky kingdom was located in the north and was considered a beautiful place with relaxed life , Air kingdom was located in the south near the area occupied by the beasts, Pure Water kingdom was located in the west near the sea which was occupied by sea monsters, Rock Hard Kingdom was located in the east, while the fury kingdom was located in the middle of these kingdoms but was separated by beast lands.

I lived in the Kingdom of Fury which was in the middle of the world and was medium size kingdoms and according to the book the most unsafe kingdom as it was surrounded by beast land on both the sides but these beast land were not that dangerous, the thing that was dangerous was beast tides that occurred very frequently. According to the book the Fury kingdom use to be the strongest but had deteriorated to their present condition because of the continuous beast tides.  

When I read those stupid and weird kingdom name I knew if my life was a novel then the writer was a retarded or had major writers block when he came up with these names but then again I did not care cause I considered the feeling of being in a novel my imagination.

Bao after finishing the book went to the martial arts section and saw a huge shelf and that the section had many different shelf's and after going through some of them he picked up-

Lightning fist- which was a martial art that helped in controlling lightning and gave a huge impact on release and was divided into three different levels. 

Qi Gathering technique-  a technique which helps in speeding up the process of gathering Qi

I took lightning fist and Qi Gathering technique with me and handed over to the librarian in hopes that I could borrow these books and study them in my room while cultivating peacefully. After I gave her the book she checked their names and went outside and the next thing I known my grandfather appear out of nowhere and I even thought that he had transformed into a lady to keep an eye on me.

Wait wait stop right there audience you will now start criticizing me about my thought but you tell me how should I react if my grandfather arrives right after the lady left like in a few second so anyone in my situation would think that he transformed but unlucky I saw the lady arrive right behind him.

My grandfather walked toward me and asked me "Bao what are you going to do with books don't you hate them yu used to be so lazy that opening a book would take you ages" Bao replied "I would like to use them to cultivate" and then the old man busted out into a fit of laughter and almost broke into tears.

He then said "Do you really think that I would trust you with martial art books" and even went on to say that "I don't trust you a bit !!  who knows maybe you want to sell these books for money so that you could recover your pocket money"

I felt so annoyed when he said this and in my heart blamed that stupid young master who possessed this body that I had taken over as he had the most idiotic attitude towards life and from the sound of things would do anything for money and had no values of honestly and respect towards himself or anybody else.

Bao tried to argue that he had changed but his grandfather stood there not listening any of it and did not let Bao leave with those scripts and instead just kicked him out of the library (literally) even the librarian who had only offered him cold looks busted out in laughter.

Bao then went back to his room and then called his butler and then asked him about his pocket money which the butler handed him it was 10 silver coins (combined of last week and today pocket money).

I forgot to explain the currency system in this world there are three currencies and they are copper, silver ,gold

1000 copper coins= 1 silver coin

1000 silver coins= 1 gold coin

1000 gold coins = 1 diamond note

1000 diamond note = 1 spiritual stone

I then sat down and started cultivating again but this time something strange happened I entered the same white room from my dream and I started to panic because I had just finally adjusted with my new life and did not want to die again. I tied my best to avoid the black book but I failed and ended up going toward the black book and opened it again.

I then saw that black book was no longer empty and there were some strange writing on the page like I was reading some ancient language but I was still able to understand it and started to read it aloud, then suddenly the book  just vanished in thin air. I found myself to be still in the ehite room but the room had expanded and had divided into many different parts which after counting I found out were 12 in number.

I went in front of one of the golden shelf that had appeared out of the black book and I saw that most shelf were empty  except for two shelf while one had two books I was very confused and picked up the two books it turned out that the books were Lightning Fist, Qi gathering and the other had the Martial world book I had read and this amazed me.

As I was going to start reading these books there was an earthquake in the white space. I almost fell down and I started getting worried while the place kept on moving like crazy I was worried that the cause of this earthquake was that something happen to my new body.

Then suddenly I saw that a opened book on a stand was kept in the middle of the room I went toward it and when I was going to read it, as I wanted to know what the heck was going on with me.I suddenly heard a loud dark evil voice.

It said " The Qi that makes the world was white it was the most purest Qi and the fraction of this Qi make the universe whoever shall behold this Qi shall be the Immortal who shall be the ruler of the universe and all the 7 realms.

Then all of a sudden I started to have a red Qi bust out of my body in the white space and then the voice continued "You have collected one of the Qi from the mortal realm collect all the colors and combine them you shall become the ruler of all the 7 realms"

As soon as I heard this the red Qi emerged in the air and I felt that I was reborn and felt quite devilish and suddenly stopped thinking completely and calmed down. I then merged with the red Qi and suddenly could feel that the Qi  was seeping into my body and saw that the Qi started to settle inside my dantian.

Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation;
Nine Yang Divine Power;
Flaming Wooden Blade Skill.
These were the three fake copies of rare manuscripts Fang Zheng decided to use for evolution. 
The marrow-washing sutra in the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation. 
The training for internal strength and true Qi in Nine Yang Divine Power. 
The blade skills in Flaming Wooden Blade Skill. 
They were three separate developments that did not overlap with each other. They complemented each other without affecting each other. 
Fang Zheng picked up Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation. His palms were slightly sweaty, and he was nervous. 
Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was one of the top three Divine Skills in the Jin Yong Series. 
There had always been talk about whether the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was a Buddhist martial art or a Taoist one. 
There was a rumor that it was created by Bodhidharma. Shaolin monks had stumbled upon it as they were repairing the statue of the Dharma. 
Another rumor claimed that both marrow-washing and tendon-changing were phrases from Taoism. They were not found in Buddhism nor ancient India. 
It seemed as if both Taoism and Buddhism had their own arguments that spanned across the centuries. 
There was another less popular version: Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was created by both Taoists and Buddhists. This would explain why tons of Taoist phrases could be found in the book; it was birthed where the Dharma practiced. 
Anyhow, Fang Zheng was just a commoner. The thing he was most concerned about was whether the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation could be evolved into a true, rare manuscript. 
Fang Zheng held the Human Skin Scripture in one hand, and Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation in the other. 
He focused his attention. 'Evolve!' 
Everything was shiny in the blink of an eye. The Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was coated in golden rays of light. Its pages began flipping quickly; it was that familiar sight again. Each page seemed to be coated with a golden stream. The words, paragraphs, and illustrations on them began transforming rapidly. It seemed to be evolving into a scripture of the heavens; it was impossible for the human eye to keep up with the speed of the transformation. 
At the same time, one part of the runes on the Human Skin Scripture faded away. 
When there were only two lit parts of the runes left on the Scripture, the transformation of the Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation was completed. 
Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation! 
The evolution was successful! 
The Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation (Level 1)!
'What? 
'F*ck, is this a joke?'
Fang Zheng stared at the cover of the book. The words, ancient and as large as a dragon, left him a little dumbfounded. 
It was his first time encountering something like this after three evolutions. 'The first level?
'Does this mean that there is a second and a third?'
Fang Zheng wasn't excited about the face that the number of possible layers meant more powers. His first reaction was, "F*ck!". 
'What a waste!'
His heart was aching. 'A precious part of the runes was spent on evolving an incomplete rare manuscript?'
With a broken heart, Fang Zheng opened the book with his shaking hands. 
According to the introduction, there were nine layers to the rare manuscript. 
The first layer was for Qi-changing, the second for blood-changing, the third for spirit-changing, the fourth for pulse-changing, the fifth for marrow-changing, the sixth for bone-changing, the seventh for tendon-changing, the eighth for divinity-changing, and the ninth was fate-changing. 
The copy of The Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation (Level 1) he had in his hand was indeed an incomplete rare manuscript. It only contained Qi-changing instructions in the first layer. 
'Motherf*cker!' 
Fang Zheng's testicles throbbed in pain; he nearly threw the book in his hand, but he eventually chose to put it in place carefully. He was afraid that if any corner of the book was folded, it would be a waste of the runes he obtained when putting his life on the line. Soon after that, Fang Zheng picked up a fake copy of Nine Yang Divine Power. 
This was another debated book. 
Some people claimed that this was a Shaolin skill. 
Others have argued that back when the Quan Zhen denominations Wang Chongyang had a drinking competition with a peculiar person, Wang Chongyang lent a copy of Nine Yin Divine Power to the latter after losing to him in the competition. Later on, the peculiar man hid himself in Shaolin and created Nine Yang Divine Power, as he felt that the Yin energy from Nine Yin Divine Power was too strong. 
There were multiple versions of the story online. 
Fang Zheng eventually decided to evolve his copy of Nine Yang Divine Power to prove a hypothesis he had in his mind. 
Given that Nine Yang Divine Power was one of the top skills in the Jin Yong Series, it was no surprise that it had its own specialties. 
Its true Qi was pure and endless; it was possible to replenish one's true Qi with this skill. 
On top of that, it had the effect of training one's body and strengthening his veins. 
It was also a specific skill to prevent cold and Yin poisons. 
Fang Zheng chose Nine Yang Divine Power in an attempt to fulfil his dream of becoming a martial arts master on top of having it complement the Yang-based Golden Immune Arhat. 
'The most important thing was! 
'Prevention of the cold and Yin poisons. Wasn't that the antichrist of ghosts?!' 
This was the true reason why Fang Zheng prioritized Nine Yang Divine Power. 
With the Human Skin Scripture in one hand and the Nine Yang Divine Power in the other, he evolved it once again! 
A familiar sight occurred: the golden rays of light could be seen. 
The letters and symbols in the book began transforming like a sped-up scene in a movie. It was amazing; it was a miracle. 
Nine Yang Divine Power successfully evolved! 
The Nine Yang Divine Power (Level 1)! 
Fang Zheng stared at yet another copy of an incomplete rare manuscript in his hand in frustration. So much for the first level. 
As stated in its name, there were 12 levels to this book. The more powerful your skill was, the faster it was for your true Qi to recover, and the more powerful the effects were from strengthening your veins and fending off the cold and Yin poisons. 
Fang Zheng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle as he clenched onto the Nine Yang Divine Power (Level 1) in his hand. 
He figured out why he had been getting incomplete copies of rare manuscripts after two rounds of evolution. 
It was the same reason why he couldn't evolve the Mantra of the Five Lightnings, Divine-Crushing Mantra, and Fiend Breaker Tongues. Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation and Nine Yang Divine Power were both on the top of the martial arts literature pyramid. The effects of perfecting those were way stronger than the usual literature. Therefore, it was only natural that the depletion from the evolutions were greater. 
The Human Skin Scriptures collection of Gray Qi prior to this wasn't enough. Forcing the evolutions only resulted in the First Levels of incomplete rare manuscripts. 
As they did not evolve into complete books, their titles did not change either. They were still The Manuscript of Tendon and Marrow Transformation (Level 1) and Nine Yang Divine Power (Level 1).
If he wanted a complete set of skills, it was easy; he only had to continue risking his life to collect the Gray Qi endlessly. Although this seemed like a bright future—given that these were top of the literature—why did he feel such unprecedented, throbbing pain in his testicles? Fang Zheng was tired. He did not have the energy to curse anymore. 
This was such a waste of his resources!
Who knew how many years it would take for him to complete the evolution of all 12 levels in a series?! In times of scarce resources, the effects of these were not nearly as good as having a full version of an ordinary book! 
He was not sure if he should say the curse words he was thinking about. 
Soon after that, Fang Zheng's tired gaze landed on Flaming Wooden Blade Skill.
After a few seconds of doubt, Fang Zheng gave up on finding other blade skill books to replace this one. Blade skills were different from powers, if he got it to evolve into another incomplete book, the special martial arts moves he could learn from it would make him better than hundreds of firewood collectors and butchers. 
'Evolve!'
The Flaming Wooden Blade Skill (Level 1)!
It was yet another incomplete copy of a rare manuscript. It was divided into the upper part, the intermediate part, and the lower part. 


Missing people... Cars mysteriously falling off the Tongjiang Bridge... The world is going mad and it is up to Fang Zheng to prepare himself for it. What will he get himself into? What horrors will he face? Are YOU ready to join Fang Zheng on his journey to hunt the wicked? Ps. Save this one for a lonely midnight.

'Based on my physical stats, I'm three times as strong as a normal, healthy adult. It's just fascinating though how fast I develop them. It might have something to do with being a Saiyan. Nevertheless, I need to finish up this quest. This is taking me so long, it's frustrating.' Being bogged by the limits of a child's physique, Caol is getting a little bit irritated on how long the first quest was taking him. 'If the first quest is already like this, how hard will be the next ones?'

"Granny, I'll rest for a bit before continuing my training. Can you tell me more about the martial path and how I can reach the Martial Ancestor realm?"

"Caol, always so eager. The martial path is a very direct and straightforward path to take. It needs determination and hard work. Talent is a good thing if you use it well. Practitioners of the martial path enhance the human body with energy, allowing it to break through the mortal fetters. For now, I will only tell you about the Martial Disciple, Martial Artist, and Martial Master realms. All three of them are divided into 9 stages. For you to be considered at the first stage of the Martial Disciple  ealm, you need to be able to carry a 100 jin cauldron. This test is a very crude way of discerning the stages. For every 100 jin more, you go up another stage, until you reach the 900th mark, signifying the peak of the Martial Disciple realm."

"This also shows you that even if you are the peak of the Martial Disciple realm, if you ever be careless in a fight against a first stage Martial Disciple, your chances of being killed are high. For example, it only takes about 10 jin of force to collapse the arteries behind your windpipe, and about 30 jin to crush it as your neck is a very fragile place. That being said it is more about control and less about being stronger. That's why never, ever get careless in a fight. Never underestimate anybody at the Martial Disciple stage." Caol nodded at Granny Yu.

"Now, it is a different thing when you are at the Martial Artist realm as this is when you can start learning about techniques. A very common one is the {Iron Shirt} technique. This is a technique in which you circulate the energy within your body in different important spots to harden it but this type of utilization is very crude. An ingenious way of using this without wasting energy is to react faster than your opponent, and when you are about to get hit, predict the section of the body you are sure you're getting hit at, then utilize it there."

Caol was ruminating and comprehending some words that Granny Yu was saying. It was a very direct concept and easy to learn. 'I have about 3.4 strength right now, I'm guessing that 1 point in strength is equal to 100 jin. If that's the case then I can be considered a third stage Martial Disciple.'

[The host is correct about being equal to a third stage Martial Disciple, however, practitioners of the martial path use energy to break through every stage. As host has a Saiyan body, the host has an easier time breaking through stages compared to a human. Humanity is limited by their physique and could not compare to a Saiyan body. Of course, this is only applicable to those who do not have a spiritual root as they walk a path of remodelling their body to perfection.]

'I get it, I have a huge head start against people practicing the martial path because of this Saiyan body. Better not put it to waste.' Caol looked at Granny Yu and said, "So Granny, how can I become a Martial Ancestor then?"

"Haha Caol, that's way too far in the future. If you can reach the Martial Ancestor realm when you are 50 years old, then you are considered very talented."

'Whoa, that's way too long. Fortunately, I'll be heading a similar direction as the martial path with the application of qi in the Kame Style Martial Arts.'

"Alright then Granny, I promise I'll have a Martial Ancestor's strength way before 50. That is my goal. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to practice."

"Whatever you say, Caol." Granny Yu closed her eyes and started meditating while Caol went back and started his sit-ups."


2 weeks later...


'YES! I did it!' A young boy can be seen doing a dab near a cave.

[Host has completed Quest 1 and will thus be rewarded with the following: Newbie gift x1, Kame Style Martial Arts, access to the system shop and quest board.]

[The host has also unlocked the system inventory. You can get anything you get from the system here, but can never put anything foreign into the inventory.]

'Alright system, open the Newbie gift for me.' Caol was super excited as he has been waiting for this day for so long.

[Opening Newbie gift...]

[Host has acquired the following: Senzu beans x3, Customizable gi x1, Gravity bracelet x2]

'SENZU BEANS! I get to have three, which basically means three lives. System, what does the gravity bracelet do?'

[Each gravity bracelet creates a very precise force field on the host's body and can be modified to change the host's gravity up to 50 times. It is a good auxiliary tool to enhance the host's body as just opening it creates pressure which excercises each and every part of the host's body.]

'I see, so that means more training huh? I can't help it. I wanna be as strong as Goku fast.'

'System, how can I get the Kame Style Martial Arts? Does Master Roshi come with it?'

[The host can just command me to imprint the techniques inside the host's mind. The system can also compile it into a book form as imprinting it directly harms the user's soul.]

'I think the book idea might be the best option for me. It can also save me from questions from Granny Yu and I can just say that I have my own fortuitous encounter and chanced upon the technique. System, compile it into a book.' Caol thought about the options for a while before finally picking the second option.

[Compiling Kame Style Martial Arts...]

[The system has successfully compiled it into a book form and the host can directly get it from the system inventory.]

'Sweet, I'll put that aside from now as I still need to explore the unlocked options from the system.'

'System, open the shop please.'

[System shop opening...]

[Weapons]

[Techniques]

[Auxiliary Items]

[???]
