G. Chapter 19
Lazy Behaviour in Acquiring Knowledge? Shit! You can't expect me to read books! Even those educational videos are fucking boring! I don't expect myself to become intelligent when they are boring to follow. And I am not going to change and start reading those books. Well, I read some books after I awakened my memories, those are some difficult times.
*Sigh*
" Okay! Not crystal orb but "system".
system, system, system.
Okay, System. You said I can learn from you. Is it the same way as in my previous life?", Hosa asked the system curiously. In his previous life he just had to inject some magic energy to start the crystal orb and learn the knowledge of anything he needed.
[ Yes, Host.
But the process is much easier after adjustments. The Host just needs to think and choose the required option. Then Magic energy will be absorbed by the system automatically when you choose your option. Host doesn't need to continue injecting magic energy.]
Hosa felt this method was easier. He doesn't need to spend a part of his concentration on injecting magic energy while learning some information. If the system automatically absorbs the magic energy then he can spend all his concentration on acquiring knowledge.
Hmm.. Hosa had a doubt.
"Hey, system. Does the system and the previous crystal orb run on magic energy? You weren't activated when I was promoted to Stage one Mortal Body Realm. Only after I was promoted to Stage one Mortal Mage Realm you are activated.", Hosa enquired about the system when he thought about how the system absorbs magic energy.
[ Yes, Host.
The system uses magic energy to run its abilities. Magic element is a unique element. It can substitute every element out there. So, the system uses magic energy.]
" Okay. Then what would have happened if I hadn't started magic cultivation? There will be no magic energy for you to be activated right?", Hosa asked with a frown. Body Cultivators can't use magic energy. He wouldn't have been able to activate the system then.
[ The system would be still activated.
When Host reached Stage seven Mortal Body Realm and Host's soul energy had a qualitative change, the system could be activated.]
" So, you also use Soul energy to run systems abilities?", Hosa asked the system curiously. Even if the system will be activated late if there was no magic energy it would have been a waste. Now the system is informing soul energy can be used, he needs to know more about it.
[ Yes, Soul energy could have also been used.
Soul energy is a Life forms energy. System as a part of the Host could use Soul energy. But the soul energy is limited and takes more time to recover than magic energy.]
"Eh? Then wouldn't the system be restricted because of limited soul energy?", Hosa asked with doubt.
[ System recommends Host to learn more about the system's new abilities.]
" Yeah! You said about new abilities. So what are your new abilities?", Hosa asked the system curiously. In his previous life the crystal orb's functions weren't many. Now he needs to see what the abilities of this new system are.
[ Host can check about the system's functions and Host's information by uttering "Status", in your mind.]
" Status." Hosa uttered in his mind.

Hosa was surprised when lines of information appeared in front of him as if he was in a VR world. He tried to touch the lines but his hand passed through them. He then thought of closing the status and the lines before him disappeared. He then thought of status again and the lines of information appeared in front of him.
Hosa then started looking at those lines of information. He frowned looking at some of the information. He was surprised with other information. Some abilities intrigued him. In his previous life, the crystal orb only taught him about cultivation and provided him with storage space. This new system gave him too many options.
"System, what's with that 20% restriction on my Body Cultivation and Magic & Soul Cultivation? Are you restricting my cultivation?", Hosa immediately asked with a deep frown on his face. He checked his cultivation but he couldn't find any difference. But it's shown that his cultivation is restricted. He doesn't know what's wrong.
[ Yes, Host]
"Why?", Hosa asked as he couldn't comprehend the system restricting his cultivation.
[ Host's Cultivation was restricted from the beginning to avoid any incidents like the Evil Emperor incident in your previous life.
The Origin Core restricts the Life forms permanently in the strength they could possess to avoid any disturbances.
The Highest a person can improve in a stage is 60% to 80% with restrictions applying on them.
But the Host isn't under the restriction effects of the Origin Core. So the Host can cultivate to 100% in a Stage.
In Host's previous life because of incomplete adjustments you could only cultivate upto 90%.
Still that great increase in strength is eye-catching to others. Because of that you were even pursued by an Emperor Realm Evil Cultivator.
Now with perfect adjustments the Host could manage to cultivate 100%. And to make it less eye-catching the 20% restriction is implemented on your Body Cultivation and Magic & Soul Cultivation to hide your Cultivation.
But in truth your Body Cultivation and Magic & Soul Cultivation are at 100%
If others check your body they could only see what they call a "perfect cultivation" but not your true 100% cultivation.
These are the measures taken to decrease Host's dangers in Life.]
[ Now with the activation of system Host can choose to remove the restrictions on your cultivation.
After you remove the restrictions on Cultivation you can use the strength from your 100% Cultivation.
But when others check your body they could only see 80% cultivation strength.
Note: Host should be careful when displaying your strength in front of others. It can reveal your true cultivation.
Proceed with removing the restrictions: Yes / No ]
Hosa was surprised with the system's answer. Fuck that Evil Emperor was too dangerous, that person caused his previous life grief and sorrow. That incident with Evil Emperor changed his previous life's whole personality. Everything was because of his cultivation. He also had to fight with others because of his overbearing strength. In his previous life the crystal orb had no ability to hide his strength.
Now he felt grateful to the system for restricting and hiding his cultivation. The new system even took measures to help him avoid possible dangers when it wasn't activated. This new system is way too better than the crystal orb.
"Hey system, can you restrict my strength again after I remove the restrictions now?"Hosa asked another important point. If he could restrict his strength again it could help him in some situations. If the system can't do it he should concentrate more when fighting in public.
[ Yes,Host. You can choose to restrict your strength if you want to.]
"Then Yes, remove the restrictions.", Hosa replied joyously. That's the answer he wants.
[ Okay, Host.
Proceeding with removing the restrictions…]
Hosa started feeling changes in his body. He felt his body is much stronger than before with more power in his body. Even the Magic Vessels felt tougher than before. The quantity of magic energy is increasing in his vessels but he isn't absorbing the magic energy from his surroundings. He also felt his soul energy slowly increasing.
After half a minute the restrictions were removed and his strength returned. Hosa clenched his fists, feeling the power in them he grinned.
