Chapter 2: Attribute Panel, New Mission

1406 Words
"Accept Mission!" Bai Qi exclaimed excitedly. Having transmigrated to this world for a full 18 years, he had finally received his cheat system, and he couldn't wait to know just how powerful it was. [Congratulations, Host, you have bound the 'Enemy-Slaying Leveling System'. By slaying enemies, you can accumulate experience points, thereby continuously leveling up and improving your cultivation realm!] Bai Qi gasped. Didn't this mean that there were no bottlenecks or thresholds to his cultivation realm improvement? As long as he reached the required experience points, he could break through. "So, I don't have any realm-blocking issues at all." And most importantly, cultivation requires resources; many people even went so far as to m******e entire cities to absorb enough essence blood. But he didn't need that! Bai Qi only needed to fight and kill enemies to improve his realm! The system was indeed the ultimate cheat. Those who claimed to have unparalleled talent were simply no match for him. [System binding successful. Host, would you like to activate the newbie gift pack now?] Just as Bai Qi was marveling at the system's power, another system notification sounded. "Activate!" Bai Qi said without hesitation. [Newbie Gift Pack successfully opened, rewards received:] [Congratulations, host, you have received a one-star reward, "Introduction to Internal Force"] [Redeem reward?] This is internal force? In the mortal dynasty, internal force is a closely guarded secret! It's because the immortal divine dynasty wants to monopolize martial arts, thus allowing them to transcend mortals, that the difference between humans and gods exists! Before Bai Qi was expelled from his family, he was a noble young master, but he had never seen internal force before. With internal force, one could walk sideways in the mortal dynasty. Even the high-ranking officials wouldn't dare to point fingers at those innate experts. Bai Qi has already seen the hope of revenge. "Redeem reward!" Bai Qi couldn't wait. Since transmigrating to this world, what he longed for most was to possess extraordinary power. [Host has extracted reward, receiving a one-star low-grade cultivation technique, "Introduction to Internal Force."] A yellowed, ancient book appeared in Bai Qi's mind. [Reward distributed. Host can open the attribute panel to view your various attributes.] Without hesitation, Bai Qi immediately used his mind to call out, "Open the attribute panel." The next moment, a transparent light screen appeared in his mind: Host: Bai Qi. Level: 0 (Ordinary Person) Internal Force: 0 (Ordinary Person, Has Not Cultivated Internal Energy) Physical Body: 0 (Ordinary Person, Has Not Cultivated Physical Body) Cultivation Technique: None Cultivation Martial Skill: None Martial Arts Abilities: None ........ Sure enough, he was still a weakling. Bai Qi's mind stirred, "System, I want to cultivate internal force." [Accepting instructions.] [Learning the one-star low-grade cultivation technique "Introduction to Internal Force"...] Boom— The ancient book "Introduction to Internal Force" in Bai Qi's mind shattered, scattering into a golden light that surged into Bai Qi's limbs and bones. Then, a warm current began to flow through Bai Qi's meridians. After this warm current circulated through Bai Qi's meridians once, he felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body. [Learning the one-star low-grade cultivation technique "Introduction to Internal Force" is complete. Please check the effect.] With the system's prompt, Bai Qi immediately opened the attribute panel. Host: Bai Qi. Level: 1. Internal Force: 1 (First Level of Internal Force). Physical Body: 0 (Ordinary Person). Cultivation Technique: One-Star Low-Grade Internal Force Technique "Introduction to Internal Force". Martial Arts: None . Martial Arts Divine Abilities: None. Experience Required for Upgrade: 100. "The attribute changes are too great." "After gaining internal force, I'm no longer an ordinary person." "However, why is my physical body still the same as an ordinary person's?" "Is there a special cultivation technique for the physical body?" Bai Qi wondered. He raised his right hand and slammed it against the tree, immediately wincing in pain. The rough bark of the tree chafed his hand, causing blood to seep out. "As expected, I still have the physical body of an ordinary person! How can flesh and blood withstand a tree?" Then, Bai Qi circulated a small amount of internal force, covering his left fist. Feeling the mysterious flow of internal force, he threw a punch at the tree with great spirit. "Bang!" After a dull thud, the bark of the large tree flew off, leaving a fist-sized mark. Although it didn't smash through the tree, the power was still astonishing. What surprised Bai Qi most was that his fist was completely unharmed. "Is this the wonder of internal energy?" "No wonder those with extraordinary cultivation define themselves as immortals!" Looking at the two fists, one on each side, Bai Qi finally understood the terrifying power of internal energy. "One day, I will stand at the pinnacle of this world!" Bai Qi clenched his fist and strode towards the village head's house. The village head was equivalent to a village chief in later times. Bai Qi said, "Village head, I want to enlist in the army!" Several villagers from Black Wind Gully laughed heartily. The village head shook his head and said, "Bai Qi, kid, do you think you can just join the army whenever you want? Joining the army requires selection and assessment!" Bai Qi was stunned. "Joining the army requires selection?" He had never heard of this before and asked doubtfully, "Didn't I hear that some places force their way into the army, even causing lawsuits over names?" The village head laughed, took a swig of bitter wine, and said smugly, "You're talking about other places. Our place is a recruitment area for the Yang family generals, the Yue family army, and the Qin family army." "These three generals love their soldiers like their own children. As long as they kill the enemy, they get military merit and rewards, never being stingy, so there's no shortage of soldiers!" "To ensure combat effectiveness, the three generals strictly select soldiers." "They don't want the stupid, the disabled, those who wet their pants at the sight of blood, or those who are too weak to even kill a chicken, like a scholar like you... cough cough, they don't want those either." "Therefore, the three generals also established recruitment ranks: ordinary soldiers, elite soldiers, and the highest-ranking Great Zhou elite soldiers!" "Kid, I advise you to give up your plan to join the army." The strong young men around him smiled kindly: "Bai Qi, you're the only scholar in our village. From now on, everyone will rely on you to write letters, read official documents, file lawsuits, or consult feng shui masters!" "Just stay in the village, get married, and have children." "We'll protect you!" They showed off their dark biceps, and compared to Bai Qi's arms, which looked like those of a skinned chicken, they laughed heartily. At this moment, Miao'er's beautiful eyes were also filled with hope, hoping that her brother Bai Qi would stay in the village. Hearing this, Bai Qi was overjoyed. What he feared most was encountering warlords who preyed on soldiers. And what he respected most were these generals who treated their soldiers like their own children. This was Bai Qi's chance to be ennobled and made a king through military merit. How could Bai Qi possibly change his mind? The village head sighed and wrote Bai Qi's name on the list of those who had enlisted. However, he still comforted Miao'er, saying, "Miao'er, don't worry. Bai Qi might not even pass the conscription test. He'll be eliminated tomorrow, and then he'll give up." Miao'er was overjoyed and smiled sweetly, "Brother Bai Qi, I'll cook for you. You can eat at my house tonight." "You fool! With a woman like this in your heart, why are you even fighting?" The old village head thought Bai Qi was a stubborn mule. Bai Qi smiled; these villagers were truly adorable. He had originally thought that being exiled here would surely lead to humiliation. But unexpectedly, the villagers not only taught him farming and hunting, but the old village head even wanted Bai Qi to succeed him as village chief. In the first few months, the villagers even brought him food and porridge. "I will do my best to make your lives better." Just as Bai Qi was reflecting on this, the system's voice suddenly sounded: [Ding, mission issued: Compete for the strongest recruit. For each level higher in the ranking, you will receive a system reward.]
