G. Chapter 20
Hosa felt excited with the sudden increase in his strength. He got up and punched in the air. His punches were more powerful than before. The air pressure increased as he punched, many objects near him fell down. He was hyped with the power in his fists.
Hosa exhaled and calmed down, he sat down on the bed and continued to ask the system about the information in the status.
" So I can understand what Cultivation progress means. I just got promoted to Stage two Mortal Body Realm recently so it's okay with being at 3%. And I can feel that I am slowly nearing my breakthrough in magic cultivation and according to you it seems to be at 87%. And I think my soul energy can't be increased until I reach Stage seven Mortal Realm in either Body Cultivation or Magic Cultivation.
But system, what does that "stored 0%" besides them mean?", Hosa asked as he couldn't understand why there is a strange word beside his cultivation progress.
[ Host can increase his cultivation progress by absorbing essence from other Life forms.
System has a function to extract essence from any Life form killed by the Host and store the essence in the system storage. The system can also extract essence from any items of a Life form.
System can also extract the essence from the magic essence stones stored by the Host in the system storage.
After the essence of a Life form is extracted it will be purified by the system for Host's use. By absorbing this essence, Host can increase his cultivation progress.
The essence can be used by the Host immediately or you can choose to store it and absorb at another time.
System can also extract and purify the soul energy from a Life form.
At the moment no essence is stored in the system. ]
Hosa was dumbstruck hearing the system. He gulped and asked,"Hah! System isn't that how Demons cultivate? You want me to kill and absorb essence from others?".
He couldn't believe the system chose this ability. Demon Race are known for invading and eating other Races to increase their strength and cultivation. They even practice cannibalism more openly than the Beasts Race.
[ Host don't need to worry. The body isn't absorbed by the Host. System only extracts the cultivation essence of the Life form and purifies it for Host's use.]
Hosa breathed in relief. He nodded and asked," So absorbing soul energy, is it like the Devour Soul ability from my Golden Lion Body technique?".
He needs to reach Stage seven Mortal Body Realm to be able to use that ability, if the system can also use the same ability then it will help greatly in his cultivation. Soul energy cultivation is always the hardest to improve. Abilities like Devour Souls are rare and more sought after.
[ Yes, Host. Also with systems function it is much safer and the soul energy will be purified for Host's use.]
Hosa smiled excitedly. If he uses and absorbs soul energy using Devour Souls, he has to bear great pain and agony and he needs great will to avoid the soul energy from harming his own soul. If the system can purify the soul energy then he doesn't need to worry about his soul getting harmed from absorbing soul energy.
He doesn't need to ask about an ability to help his Body Cultivation. It entirely depends on himself and his hard work in body cultivation. He can only improve his physique step by step.
And continuing, Hosa saw he has 371 spells he can use. But he shook his head. Among them the 362 spell runes are difficult to use since he doesn't have enough magic energy and soul energy. After reaching Emperor Realm, spells learnt by a magic cultivator can be converted into spell runes. With spell runes a magic cultivator can instantly cast a spell without imagining and visualising the spell. After the spell is cast, the cultivator can change the properties of the spell however he needs.
If a cultivator awakens the memories of their past life they can't receive their soul runes. They will be erased from a soul. But since Hosa's soul isn't under the control of the Origin Core his spell runes aren't erased.
His magic and soul energy are full. He didn't use any today. He then saw the system's energy units, and he asked immediately," Hey system, so it doesn't matter whether I cultivate in magic energy or not because you absorb magic energy for your use separately?.
[ Yes, Host.
The amount of magic energy absorbed by the Host at his present Realm isn't enough for system functions usage.
After reaching Emperor Realm, Host will be able to increase the system's energy unit with his Cultivation.]
Hosa felt it is reasonable since the functions of the system till now can't be managed with the level of magic energy he has.
The next function about his personal ability piqued his interest. After seeing the information of his ability, Hosa couldn't help but frown.
[ Host's Abilities::
1. A True Friend; A Vicious Enemy
Information:
A passive ability of Host.
–1. Any Beast around the Cultivation stage of Host will feel a natural friendly aura from Host and can't attack the Host.
–2. Any Demon and beings from the Evil Realm around the Cultivation stage of Host will feel a frightening aura from Host and can't attack the Host.
–3. Since the Host is at Stage two Mortal Body Realm, the effect only works on Beasts,Demons and Evil beings below Stage three Mortal Realm.
Note:
–1. No effect on any Human Race.
–2. Host can't kill any Life forms around and below his Cultivation stage.
–3. Since the Host is at Stage two Mortal Body Realm he is restricted from killing any Life form below Stage three Mortal Realm.
–4. Host has to face severe pain to his soul for every killing.]
Hosa doesn't know if he should be excited or not looking at the ability. An ability like his wasn't rare but the others never had a restriction like his. Others with the same ability have it easy to kill the beasts but he has a weird restriction to not kill. He even has the rare ability that makes the demons and beings from Evil Realm fear him but still he has a weird restriction to not kill. And if he ever killed beasts, demons and evil beings that are under the effect he will face a great pain to his soul. Remembering about the agonising pain he felt regularly Hosa couldn't help but shiver.
Since he is not under the Origin Core this ability must be from the system. Hosa immediately asked his system with an extremely unexciting face," System what's with this weird ability. This ability must be from you isn't it? Why did you create this weird ability for me?".
[ Host's ability is derived from his previous and his present life. This ability helps the host and at the same time restricts the host.
Also the effects will change upon Host's promotion to higher stages and a higher Realm.]
