Wu Li looked at the messages displayed on his retina again.
He read through the descriptions of both the scrolls.
Type: Body Transformation Description: The Titans were a God like race that had immense power that could potentially exceed the laws of existence and Dao itself. But they did not survive the 3rd Great Calamity. After their fall their corpse was studied and the source of their power was understood and thus the Titan cultivation path was created. The Sky Shattering Titan was one of the 9 leaders of the Titans. Sky Shattering Titan Method is a cultivation method created based on his corpse and source. Practicing the Sky Shattering Titan Method will allow you to possess an immense amount of raw physical strength> Type: Bodyrefining. Description: Fiends are one of the most dangerous creatures of hell, they are mindless monsters with an extremely durable body that hunt in swarms of 1000's, causing destruction where ever they go. Immortal Fiends are an evolved form of Fiends. Not only do they have a body more durable than normal Fiends but they also have immense regenerative power. The Immortal Fiend Bodyrefining technique is a technique made by examining the body and source Immortal Fiends, it not only gives the practitioner an extremely durable body but also the undying body of an Immortal Fiend> After reading the description of both the technique he asked. 'Brother System what is the difference between Body Transformation and Bodyrefining.' In the novel that he read on Earth both Body Transformation and Bodyrefining where the same and can be used interchangeably. Bodyrefining, on the other hand, refines your body to store more energy. Think of the body as a bucket, Body Transformation will change the quality of the bucket and increase its durability, and Bodyrefining will increase the volume of the bucket> 'I see one enhances Quality the other the Quantity.' 'Brother System open both the scrolls.' Wu Li felt an immense headache as massive amounts of information was crammed into his brain. But it was not as painful as fusing with the Infernal Whale's Digestive System so he did not scream but bit his teeth and endured. But after 5 minutes, just as the pain started to dissipate. He received another message. The pain suddenly amplified. He regretted ordering the system to open both the scrolls. Another 5 minutes passed and the pain finally stopped. Looking at all the information inside his mind he quickly forgot about the pain and was excited to practice both these techniques. But he looked at the sky to see that it was almost noon and decided to head back home. ****************************************** 'That boy almost an hour late today' thought Wu Li's grandpa Wu Zen as he prepared lunch. Today was a special day so he was preparing some meat. Around 10 years ago his grandson started to an exhibit strange behavior. Every morning between 4 and 4:30 he would leave the house and be back at around 1, at first Wu Zen thought he was going out to play with the other villager but he quickly dismissed it as 4 O' clock was too early. Meeting with a lover was his second guess but that was also dismissed as Wu Li was too young. He did not want to restrain his grandson too much but he also did not want his grandson to go down a wrong path so one morning he followed his grandson. His grandson bypassed the village and headed into the forest, there where no demon beasts in these parts of the forest, so Wu Zen was not that much worried. He then saw his grandson picking up a stick and practicing some form of sword art. Analyzing it closer Wu Zen realized that it was a higher grade sword art, that was better than the Kushen Military Sword Art that he knew. Since the Kushen Military Sword Art is a peak Human grade Sword Art, this sword art must be at least Earth grade. 'But he is practicing with a stick, only by practicing with a proper sword will he be able properly to hone his skill. I need to find an opportunity to give him my old sword'. After that Wu Zen began secretly hunting down all the dangerous animals in the surrounding forest so that his grandson can practice in peace. For 8 years Wu Zen continued to watch and hunt animals in the surrounding forest. But one day he realized that his grandson is now strong enough to fight him a martial expert at Body refining level 8. 'He no longer needs my protection.' Even than Wu Zen goes to the forest and kills all the dangerous wild animals once a week. He knew that Wu Li had not refined his body yet, but can already fight on par against Body refining stage 8 expert. He assumed this as one of the side benefits of practicing an Earth grade sword art. Of course, if you add in Wu Zen's years worth of experience then he would most definitely crush Wu Li. If he wasn't under the blood oath then he would have passed the Kushen Military Bodyrefining method to Wu Li. The blood oath is a mysterious oath for which the heaven and earth act as the witness. Breaking a blood oath will cause your own blood to act against you and flow in reverse killing you instantly. 'It would be good if he could join one of the sects and obtain a body refining method', he thought. But then he frowned, 'Too bad it's almost impossible'. There are 3 reasons why villagers find it very hard to join a sect. The first is the distance, they need to travel for months to reach the doors of the closest sect. Second, to reach the closest sect you have to cross the Dark blue forest, which is filled with demon beasts. The villagers have no body refining methods so they are unable to cultivate making it impossible to cross the Dark Blue forest Third, even if you travel the distance and cross the Dark Blue forest you still need to have either talent or the support of a prestigious family. Those with talent can take the entrance test to the sect while those with the support of a prestigious family can pay a test exemption fee and enter the sect directly. Obviously, these villagers neither had money nor talent. 'He could always join the military and get a copy of the Kushen Military Bodyrefining method', but he quickly shook his head in disagreement, 'What's the point in joining the army, they work you like a slave to protect the interest of the Nobles and Royals. But what did I get in return, my son killed, my daughter in law's corpse defiled and my home village slaughtered by that god damned Noble.' Hatred and anger started to boil inside his heart, but he quickly shook it off. 'There is no point in holding on to this hatred as I can never avenge my son and daughter in law'. Although he said that deep down he still wanted to kill the Noble that ruined his family, so the hatred and anger kept rising up inside him. 'No', he took a deep breath and calmed down, 'Today is a special day after all'. Today was the day that Wu Zen adopted Wu Li as his own from the village head. Since he did not know Wu Li actual birthday he decided to celebrate the adoption day as his birthday. From his pocket, he took out the amulet from his pocket and looked at it. It was a small black egg with thousands of web-like red glowing lines on it. 'The village head said this was related to Littel Li origin, I wonder what he meant by that' He then placed the amulet on the table and thought back to the time he accidentally told Wu Li the story of his son's and daughter in law's death. 'He already knows that he is adopted but still.......', the day after Wu Li heard the tragic story he began to train the sword art like a mad man. 'He even asked the name of that bastard, I just hope he won't do anything rash like revenge.' He then looked at the shadow and figured it was almost 2. 'Did he go too deep into the wild, maybe I should go check on him.' "Grandpa I am back." ************************************** As Wu Li reached the door to his house the sent of beef hit his nose. 'I wonder if there is a guest.' He opened the door and entered. "Why are you so late today?", asked Wu Zen in a concerned voice. "I was trying to catch a rabbit for dinner and chased it into the forest", lied Wu Li. "You..... did you forget what day it is today", asked Wu Zen It was at this moment that it hit Wu Li, 'Beef is my favorite and grandpa normally prepares it for me during my birthday. Ah...... that's right it's my Birthday I totally forgot about it due to completing the active mission'. "It's my birthday, I forgot about it", he said as he facepalmed himself. "It's alright, happy birthday, I prepared beef stew and beef rice for you, and pass me the sword I will do maintenance for it", said Wu Zen as he reached out his hands. Wu Li passed him the sword as he said thanks. "I will go get some rest now", said Wu Li. "Did you wash off your sweat", asked Wu Zen. "Don't I always take bath before coming back home", said Wu Li. "Haha......I was just asking in case you forgot sleeping while sweaty is unhealthy you know", said Wu Zen. Wu Li smiled and headed to his room. He fell face up on his bed, his whole body ached. 'It hurts despite having done this for 10 years, is my body that weak.' 'Then what is the difference between me of today and me 10 years ago? I mean me 10 years ago need at least 30 minutes to perform the Basic Sword Art but now if I want to I can do it under 30 seconds' Then another window popped up in Wu Li retina. Comprehension: Beginner(36%) > Before Wu Li could ask anything the system continued. 'No way even after 10 years of practice am only a Beginner in the Basic Sword Art' 'Am I just that bad at Sword Arts' 'WOW, that means I am super good sword arts. Alright I am super motivated now I am gonna practice the Basic Sword Art super hard tomorrow' 'Eh......what you mean why? I have to complete the active mission......ow I completed it', for a moment there he was confused with what to do with his life. When he first crossed over to this new world he only had 2 goals activate the system and get bitches. But it changed after hearing his grandpa's tragic story. Now he wanted to activate the system, kill the noble who killed grandpa's son and daughter in law and become the strongest. But over the 10 years, he continuously practiced the Basic Sword Art it had become a part of his life not doing it will be essentially cutting off a part of his life. Wu Li looked at the messages. 'Brother System give me the tutorial.' <1) Infinite Inventory: The ability to infinitely store all non-living, dead or plant life, with direct contact. 2) Pill Shop: The Pill Shop contains many types of pills, that can be bought using Hell points. 3)Weapon Shop: The Weapon Shop contains many types of Weapon that can be bought using the Sword points. 4) Heaven and Earth Treasure Shop: The Heaven and Earth Treasure Shop contains many types of Heaven and Earth Treasure that can be bought using both Hell and Sword points. 5) Martial art manual Shop: The Martial art manual Shop contains many types of Martial art manual that can be bought using both Hell and Sword points. 6) Merit Law Shop: The Merit Law Shop contains many types of Merit Laws that can be bought using both Hell and Sword points 7)Sell functions: If you have any Heaven and Earth Treasures, Weapons, Pills, Martial art manual, Minerals or Merit Law that you don't want but have then you can sell it to the system using the sell function and gain Hell and Sword points. 8)Forcefull comprehension upgrade: You can forcefully upgrade your comprehension level on almost all techniques, using the Hell and Sword points. *Not recommended* 9) Forcefull Cultivation upgrade: You can forcefully upgrade your cultivation level using Hell and Sword points. *Locked, can only be unlocked in emergency situations* > This system was almost similar to most of the systems that he had read on Earth. But........ 'I have a few questions' 'Is there a gacha function' 'Is there a beginners gift pack' 'Ok...wait, is the Basic Sword Art is as awesome as Sky Shattering Titan Method and the Immortal Fiend Bodyrefining technique.' Now Wu Li confused the Immortal Fiend Bodyrefining technique if practiced to the peak basically makes him an immortal, while the Sky Shattering Titan Method gives him unlimited physical strength. What could the Basic Sword Art give that is better than that. 'Don't tell me that it has an amazing attack power.' 'Next question, why is Forcefull comprehension upgrade not recommended and Forcefull Cultivation upgrade locked' 'I see, next can I sell anything to the system' Wu Li was curious about the sell function. Looking around he found a small broken piece of wood and decided to sell it to the system. He picked up the wood and said, 'Brother system I wish to sell this piece of wood'. The wood in his hand suddenly vanished. 'Next, let's try inventory.' He touched his bed and thought of storing it in the infinite inventory and the bed vanished. He then thought of the bed coming out of the inventory and it reappeared. He did a few time because it was fun but then stopped. 'Last question, is there another way to gain Hell and Sword points, other than selling things'
