Chương 6: First mission
Ren Ying thought of his next plan as his body was back to its prime state.
Currently, he had a thunder-type main cultivation manual, combined with a movement technique that the old Ren Ying had snatched from other people.
In the cultivation world, a cultivation manual would only allow you to improve your realm, which meant the quantity and quality of one's own Qi.
Along with the rightful techniques, cultivators could use that Qi to perform different sorts of feats, like freezing the entire city, turning a crowded city into a ghostly place, and many more.
Those techniques were divided into many categories, such as attacking type, defending type, movement type, body tempering type, and many more. Though some techniques weren't popular in some attributes due to their uniqueness.
For example, a thunder-type attribute doesn't have such a defending technique. Because thunder were mainly known for their speeds, instead of defending or blocking the attack head-on, thunder-type cultivators would use the advantage of their speeds to dodge those attacks, and sometimes they might even attack as a way to defend.
Most thunder-type cultivators, would often temper their bodies using different types of thunder according to the requirements of their body tempering technique. The reason for this was that they had no choice at all but to do so.
After all, not everybody could move at the speed of thunder freely without causing damage to their body, unlike Ren Ying, who had a strong enough physique barely fitting the requirement for using [Thunder Trace], thanks to his special pupil.
But still, if his realm kept getting higher, then his body couldn't simply catch up. So he would have to find or develop a body-tempering skill sooner or later, unless he was born with a special physique, but unfortunately he didn't have such luck.
In addition to body-tempering skills, Ren Ying also needed to get his hands on or self-create an offensive technique since he doesn't own any right now.
"Now that my body is fully healed, it is the best time for me to start cultivating." He went on to cultivate directly without wasting any time.
....
Starting from that day onward, Ren Ying rarely went out of his house unless it was absolutely necessary, like going outside to stock up his food and to observe people's opportunities to find a suitable one that he could snatch.
He spent those time inside his room, mainly on improving his realm, which was on the middle-first-realm. Besides that, Ren Ying also spent half of that time focusing on 'his' Thunder Trace.
The speed of his comprehension seemed to be faster than that of the old Ren Ying, according to the memories.
He just thought that maybe it was due to him devouring the other party's soul, which possessed a rather good comprehension talent, combined with his untested comprehension talents, that raised his comprehension talent to a higher level.
As for getting it tested? For what reason should he get it tested?
'So, that I could brag about it? forget about it.' Ren Ying was determined to keep this a secret.
'Wait, what if...' He suddenly thought of plans regarding his increase in comprehension talent.
...
2 months had gone by just like that.
Ren Ying who had a high hope on his cultivation journey, right now had a look of depressed on his face.
"Why is my cultivation speed so low!" He had previously ignored the fact that he only possessed a fifth-tier root bone.
Which was the main culprit for his slow cultivation.
Seeing such a low reward for working so hard, Ren Ying stood up weakly.
He looked around for a while before disappearing and appearing in another spot, leaving only a trace of thunder particle.
Despite his room being so small, Ren Ying 'teleported' around without crashing into anything, thanks to practicing it for a whole 2 months.
Though he didn't have much success with improving his realm, his movement technique couldn't be said to had the same result. This 2 months worth of practicing this movement technique had given him much more results than when the old Ren Ying had practiced it nonstop for half a year.
He could only sigh helplessly as he understood that the difference between him and the old Ren Ying was their comprehension talent.
Comparing his movement technique, Thunder Trace, to before he took over this body was like the difference between a kid who only knew how to walk and a kid who finally learnt how to run.
His control over Thunder Trace could now be said to be close to fully mastered, judging by the fact that he could use it freely inside his small house without destroying anything inside it.
"It's time for me to go out and explore the world." Ren Ying muttered to himself.
A few days ago, just like how he acted the last 2 months. He went out to observe people walking on the street, eating, drinking, and talking without being too obvious, just so he could look into their opportunities.
On that day, he thought hopelessly that his 'opportunities' hadn't arisen yet again, just like usual. Right before he went home and continued his daily practice, an unlucky guy appeared in the corner of his eye, running toward the mission hall.
When he ran past Ren Ying, his luck aura was brighter and purer than that of any other person presented in that place from the perspective of Ren Ying's innate pupil eye.
Out of curiosity and unwillingness to accept his cultivation progress, Ren Ying took a glance at his opportunity. When his vision switched to that of an unexplainable place, he observed patiently.
At the end of the vision, Ren Ying's eye lit up as he realized that the so-called opportunity that he had been waiting for had arrived.
...
'Now that my Thunder Trace could no longer be improved within a short time, I should go out and snatch that opportunity.' Ren Ying had already shamelessly regarded that opportunity as his own.
'That guy should've had leave yesterday, according to what I got from using my innate pupil power, But it's no big deal since I could catch up to him in no time with my traveling speed.'
During this time, he had already prepared all of the necessities required for going out. Not only that, Ren Ying had already planned out the mission that he would undertake in order to travel outside.
In the sect, going outside or staying outside without any reason was not permitted. So taking on the tasks was the only way out for Ren Ying.
After he made sure that everything he had prepared, such as foods, some normal healing medicines, and other stuff like a camping tent, was ready, he set out to the mission hall.
On the way to the mission hall, everybody was running there with a high expectation, that they would encounter great opportunities that could turn their cultivation life around, just like what they had read in the book of history.
Some were going there alone, while others were in a team full of people engaging in a conversation or discussion about their plan, goals, and the distribution of the reward after completing the missions.
Unlike everybody else, who ran to get there as soon as possible to take on a limited number of missions, Ren Ying walked normally, taking his time while looking at people from time to time.
He was not worried about other people taking on his mission, because the missions that he was about to take on were those of a normal task. There was no shortage of normal missions, unlike special missions, and their risks were also lower, making it a good mission for Ren Ying, who just wanted to take on a mission to go outside.
His mission required him to hunt down 100 Spiky Rabbits that were known for their speed and painful yet not lethal attack, due to them possessing a thunder attribute.
Because of their speed, the number of people who could catch them was not high. Because of that, the duration of this task was as long as 1 month.
Few people would take on this task just for the sake of getting contribution points, as there were many other better options. Those few people who took on this task—most of them—did so just to use this chance to practice their movement technique, just like this one unlucky guy that Ren Ying set his eyes on.
Before long, Ren Ying had reached the entrance to the mission hall, a place that could determine most people's future.
The entrance, along with the entire building, was built using high-quality wood mixed with some stones to increase its sturdiness.
Inside the mission hall, was also built using the same material, except there were more decorations placing in a carefully planned location, making the inside of the building look like an adventurer guild.
If one looked carefully, they would notice the existence of a weird, unreadable symbol being carved on the wall, complicated yet carefully designed.
'So this is the doing of an array master." The evaluation of the building's sturdiness had increased in Ren Ying's eyes.
Since, according to the memories, array masters were capable of increasing the sturdiness of materials by carving countless symbols on them. And this was just the beginning of what array masters could do.
Rumors had it, that an expert array master could change their terrain however they liked, for example, turning a non-raining area into a non-stop raining area, increasing the quantity and quality of surrounding Qi within the array. They were also capable of making a offensive array used for attacking, a defensive array used for defending, and many countless other things that an ordinary cultivator like him could never imagine.
'It's good to be an array master...' Ren Ying thought enviously about how much those people could earn daily.

Sandd Thanks you all for giving me the power stones ;D
Chương 7: Witnessing his first battle
He snapped back from his thoughts and looked around the walls, which were filled with mission boards. On it were plenty of missions that had either been released by the sect or by someone within the sect by paying a fee.
Ren Ying, without looking or finding a new 'worthy mission', walked directly to the mission board that he had his eyes on and took down the mission called "Hunt down a hundred Spiky Rabbits."
He handed the mission paper details to the guy responsible for noting everything down while sitting behind the counter.
Just as Ren Ying had arrived in front of the counter and placed the mission paper down on the counter. The guy behind it stopped writing and put down his ink pen.
When their eyes met, Ren Ying spoke politely, "Senior brother, I would like to take on this mission."
The senior picked up the mission paper, and upon seeing the title of the mission, he immediately knew what he had to know.
He looked up and asked Ren Ying, "You are aware that the Spiky Rabbit was close to impossible to catch due to its fast and tricky movement, right?"
"Yes, I had read everything carefully, which is why I decided to take on this mission to improve my movement technique." Ren Ying replied.
"Hmm... A few days ago, a guy like you also took on this mission with the same intention as you.
Anyways, you are aware that if you were to fail the mission, you would have to pay a fee, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed aware of such things, senior brother." Ren Ying said it with a look of determination in his eyes.
Seeing this, the guy behind the counter no longer talked, he picked up a seal and pinned it down on the mission paper, leaving a sect logo on it.
"Make sure not to lose this mission paper, and keep in mind that you have a whole month to complete this mission, so take your time and good luck with that." The guy reminded Ren Ying carefully as he handed the mission paper back to him.
"Thank you, senior brother, I'll keep this in mind." Ren Ying bowed and put the mission paper inside his cloth after taking it from the guy.
Then he ran toward the main gate of the sect, which was mainly use for entering and leaving the sect.
The gate were worthy of being the entrance and exit of the strongest sect in this small region; beside the gate stood 4 guards.
The guards were responsible for guarding the door and preventing people from leaving without a reason or permission. They were also there to stop any suspicious individual from going in and out freely.
Ren Ying couldn't see through their cultivation as a rank 1 mid-cultivator, almost on the verge of breaking through another higher realm.
When he got close to the gate, guards didn't look at him with much caution, nor did they treat him too severely. After all, coming out of the sect without being seen entering it was like saying, "I am a disciple of this sect. I had joined the sect for a long time, but I rarely went out of it."
One of the guards approached Ren Ying, and he asked, "You are going out on a mission, right? Show me your mission paper, and I'll let you go without wasting any of your time."
"I am indeed going out on a mission; here is my mission paper, senior brother." Ren Ying took out his mission paper slowly, so as not to startle the guard, and passed it on to him.
When the guard received the mission paper, he looked at everything carefully, especially the sect seal, for fear of accidentally allowing trouble to slip in.
If a spy sneaked in successfully, then the punishment would fall on them, so every time someone passed by the gate, these guards must check everything just like how they were instructed and trained.
A while later, the guard saw nothing wrong with the mission paper, he relaxed himself, smiled, and gave Ren Ying back his mission paper, as he said. "There is nothing wrong with your mission paper; you can go out.
Good luck on your journey fellow junior."
"Thanks you, senior brother." Ren Ying thanked him while taking his mission paper away from the guard's hand and walking out of the gate.
Standing outside the gate, Ren Ying looked around and wished himself good luck on this journey.
After that, he ran away from the sect gate normally, so as not to expose his thunder trace to other people. Anyone could become your enemy, so being safe with them and not revealing any important information like your card and stuff from the start would always be a good decision.
After he got farther away from the sect, Ren Ying no longer hid his movement technique and took off in full speed using Thunder Trace.
His direction was toward the Spiky Forest, known for being the home of the Spiky Rabbits. But Ren Ying didn't go there directly, as he had other plan in mind.
...
"Hand over your space ring, and I will spare you." Said Liang Chen, armed with a sword.
"You want me to hand over my life-belonging? Keep on dreaming." Zhang Wei clenched his teeth and took out his weapon as he replied.
"Don't say that I didn't give you any chance when your ancestor in hell asks you later on." Seeing that the other party didn't want to comply with his request, Liang Chen lost his patience and charged toward him.
Zhang Wei gripped his weapon tightly while waiting for Liang Chen to arrive closer to him.
"Huh! Why are you so scared to move now? Weren't you acting tough just now?" Liang Chen mocked him, but his movement only kept getting faster.
When Liang Chen arrived within the attacking range, Zhang Wei swung his weapon out without much precision but compensated by fast and fierce motion.
Liang Chen seemed to have predicted it, moved out his sword just in time to block the attack coming toward him.
Zhang Wei's hand shook visibly upon the conflict of two weapons, he frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Liang Chen looked at him playfully and said, "Now do you see the difference between you and me?"
Zhang Wei ignored him and kept on using more strength as to keep up from losing this first confrontation.
Liang Chen saw that he got ignored, smiled crazily, and continued, "Hahaha, do you regret it now?"
"Don't be too arrogant, you bastard." Zhang Wei finally replied to his provocation.
Just when Liang Chen wanted to reply, he saw his opponent back down from the confrontation and appear on his left side, changing the tide of the fight.
While these two people were fighting, one was trying to rob the other, and the other was trying to protect their valuable belongings from being taken away.
A pair of eyes blinking once in a while, hidden deep into the forest, close to these two people, was constantly observing them.
Ren Ying saw that everything did happen according to what he saw in those visions, which confirmed that his innate pupil truly existed.
Yet he wasn't happy; his mind was on the battle going on in front of him right now.
Ren Ying contemplated on what he should do in this situation.
'Should I save the other guy or not?'
'But what if he attack me after i wasted my energy saving him?'
Before seeing this battle, Ren Ying planned on waiting until Liang Chen, who would encounter the opportunity on this journey, became exhausted first before he appeared and finished him off, silencing him for good.
Now, seeing such a thing take place in front of him, Ren Ying hesitated whether to save Zhang Wei or not.
If he chose to save him, it would disrupt his careful plan.
Just as he had trouble making decision, the memories of how cruel this world appeared inside his mind.
The scene of people being killed brutally by bandits and the countless corpses of people who died in many unimaginable ways scattered everywhere, that had the existence of humans.
Even on his way here, Ren Ying saw a lot of corpses, some still had blood flowing out of them as they were still fresh, and some were simply pure skeletons.
'I don't want to end up like those people...'
'If I were to be in his place, would he save me? Of course not.'
'Just because the other is being robbed does not mean that person is a good person, after all, even a thief would have their moneys or stuff stolen by the other thief sometime.'
'So, why should I save him?'
After Ren Ying made his choice, his eyes turned a bit empty as he continued to wait for the right time to attack.
'This is going to be my first time getting my hand bloody, will I be fine?' He questioned himself.
Only now did Ren Ying know the difficulty of living in a cultivation world.
