The Spiritual System

The Hunter Becomes The Hunted

Chirag hunted 97 rabbit horn monsters, whereas the remaining member of Leonard's guild hunted 26 rabbit horn monsters. They moved forward to the boss room , and Chirag was surprised at how large the rabbit horn boss monster was; it was like a 12-foot dinosaur .

Chirag was trying his best to hunt down the boss monster, but his remaining party was eyeing his loot of monster stones. Chirag got hurt on his knees, but kept trying to heal using his Mystic Finger technique and finally succeeded in hunting down the boss monster . He got the yellow monster stone from hunting the boss monster and the space ring from the boss monster body.

Leonard's guild member watched this scene from far away, and they started to detonate a poison bomb to kill Chirag.

[System : Ding! This poison contains extremely violated energy; you can use the star absorption technique to refine it.]

Chirag was in awe: "Woah, poison can actually help me gain experience." He used the star absorption technique, gained some exp, then asked, "Why am I not affected by this poison?"

[System Message: When you inhaled the pure dispersion of energy in first, your body was fully purified and the body refining stage was smooth; in fact, each realm consists of nine stages, but since your body was already purified and the bottleneck was loose, you didn't need the nine stages of body refining to enter the spiritual refining stage. That means you are immune to all diseases, and you have better control over your body than others .]

Chirag put all his monster stones in his storage ring; he was cautious of other party members from the start. His heart was beating fast because it was his first time thinking of killing someone, but he knew in this world, to kill or be killed was the absolute rule. Strong preys on the weak, and he began to think about how he was going to kill Leonard's guild member or what if their guild leader would know about the news of their guild member getting killed in a low rank dungeon.

Chirag was beside the boss monster when he had an idea. He cut the boss monster's horn and nails with his sword to use them as weapons. He plans to kill Lenoard's guild member to replicate an accident that occurred with the dungeon boss. Leonard's guild member was waiting for the poison bomb to clear outside the dungeon boss chamber.

Chirag was hesitating, but he knew it was the only way to defeat Leonard's guild member. He took a deep breath and charged towards the enemy, using his sword s***h technique to instantly kill four members. The only one left is Rick, the party's boss, who stated, "You will regret it if you kill me; my big brother is the guild master of the Leonard guild."

Chirag chuckled and waved his hand, showing the boss monster's nails, and said, "What are you saying? I ain't the one who killed them, boss monster did."

"Don't worry, Ricky; I will avenge you, and after killing you, I will hunt all the rabbit horn monsters inside the dungeon."

Strangely, Chirag felt no pain after killing the Leonard guild party member; instead, his heart calmed.

He knew that he had to keep his emotions in check if he wanted to survive in the dangerous dungeon. Chirag took a deep breath and prepared himself for the battles ahead.

Chirag returned home with a huge sense of accomplishment from today's hunt.

He was ecstatic after gaining almost 40 exp from the poison. He then hurriedly tried to absorb the low grade yellow stone from the boss monster.

He'd left with 97 mid-grade white monster stones in his possession, and he absorbed all of them; he felt his proficiency level in the star absorption technique has significantly risen significantly. A rush of excitement filled him as he realized he was getting closer to leveling up.

"System, show me the proficiency level."

He realized that actual battle had significantly raised his proficiency level. His star absorption and sword s***h skills were now above average, while his mystic finger skill still needed improvement. He decided to focus on training his Mystic Finger skill to balance out his abilities in battle.

[Monster stones, which are located inside the hearts of monsters, are used in this world to gauge a monster's strength level. The lowest to highest stones are white, yellow, purple, and black, and each of them is divided into low grade, low-mid grade, mid grade, and high grade.]

"Huh, a gift package from the system?" This mask looks cool, and it can change your appearance to anyone you think of."

"Now, dungeon raids are going to be more fun and exciting."

He then decided to solo clear the dungeon tomorrow. He then checked for any valuable items in the space ring he got from the boss monster. He found a special egg inside the box from the space ring but didn't know how to hatch it. He kept the egg inside the ring and found an auto fit armor and some mid rank white stones.

He then began to progress to the first stage of spirit refinement. "Huh, what happened? I broke through!"

Now he has a strange meditation technique. from the system and be able to gain Qi exp from doing meditation too. He began to meditate in his own room, and he felt a pure surge of spiritual energy moving in his dantian.

As he continued to meditate, he focused on using his new technique, Brahma Meditation, which allowed him to refine his spiritual energy even further. With each passing moment, he could feel himself getting relaxed from the qi around him.

Ameri went to his room and saw a massive surge of aura around him. She didn't want to disturb him, but asked, "Brother, Have you eaten anything since this morning? Please come down; today, mom and dad will be late. They instructed us to eat and sleep before they entered the house. He replied, "No, I haven't eaten anything yet. Thanks for letting me know. I'll come down in a bit and we can have dinner together."

They were having dinner together, and Ameri suddenly asked, " There was such a cold aura pouring out of your room; did you do some kind of meditation ?" He smiled and replied, "Yes, I did some meditation. It helps me clear my mind and stay focused."

He wanted to tell the truth and wanted to teach her the meditation technique, but he didn't know what the effects would be on her.

Ameri was intrigued and asked him to teach her the technique. After some hesitation, he agreed and showed her how to meditate, warning her about the potential side effects. Unfortunately, this technique didn't work on her like it did on me, but she was able to increase her mental power. He was relieved that she didn't experience any negative effects and felt grateful for being able to share his knowledge with her. He hoped that she would continue to practice and increase her mental power.

The next day, he decided to sell all the weapons and monster parts he found on his space ring to the market. He exchanged half his goods for money and 10 midgrade monster stones. He changed his appearance using the 100 face masks he was gifted by the system. He needed to finish his mission, which included conquering four more "D" rank dungeons. With his newly acquired midgrade monster stones, he felt more confident in taking on the remaining dungeons. He planned to use the money he earned from selling his goods to upgrade his equipment and prepare for the challenges ahead.

He wanted to hunt the higher agility type monster, so he started his hunt in Blood Fox Dungeon. He saw at the entrance lots of guild members trying to recruit healer ability users and fire ability users. He ignored and concealed his movement and went into the dungeon. The more spiritual energy he used, though, the faster his stamina ran out He was determined to find rare items in this dungeon to help him recover his stamina.

As he delved deeper into the dungeon, he encountered various types of blood fox monsters and traps that drained his stamina even further. Despite the challenges, he remained focused on his goal and pressed on, hoping to find a valuable item that would make the journey worthwhile.

He then realized some hunters were running and crying in agony through his keen sense.

"oh! What's that sound? It appears that some hunters are in trouble. Let me use healing techniques to fully recover my stamina first."
