Under the misty sky, filled with the bright yellow light that came from the rising sun...
A guy was stretching his back inside a hut after having a good night of sleep.
As he moved away his silky black hair that was blocking his sight, he watched his surroundings with his beautiful silver pupils that seemed to have seen a great sight.
*Crash*
All of a sudden, the door of the hut that Xin Feng stayed in was kicked and broken without a warning.
"Useless! How dare they not need beast feces anymore!"
"Hey Trash! I don't need you anymore! Now go and leave my damn property!"
'What?!' Xin Feng couldn't comprehend the sudden development.
*Ding*
[A higher power is being given to the Character…]
[Quest received: One more time before goodbye]
'Heh? What's this?'
'Slash show quests.' Xin Feng uttered a command of the system inside his mind in order to see what the quest was all about.
Right after his command, an almost transparent looking gray screen with white letters popped up in front of him.
***
/Quests
[One more time before goodbye]
*Get whipped by your young mistress before you leave~
Note! Quest must be completed as this is the basic needs for Character to break through and be able to change his fate further~
***
*Gulp* Xin Feng swallowed his own saliva. He did not expect that he would have to go through such gruesome quests this soon…
'How do I do this…' He pondered for a bit. After all, he had to find the best way to satisfy the system's quest without suffering too much.
No matter how weird the system's quest might be, he would do it nonetheless. As long as it doesn't require him to suffer for eternity. If his suffering would only be for a short period, in exchange for his freedom as a slave, he was ready to accept it. He had suffered for two years already. What's a few days more, he figured...
"Hey! What are you looking at?! Do you not know how to move your legs?!" The mistress yelled out of frustration, as she tried to hold in the urge to torture the bastard in front of her. Her true goal was to kill him when he wasn't looking, but because of how annoying she found him to be at the moment, she wanted to let him suffer before she was to kill him.
Again, after Xin Feng didn't respond when it had been the second time already that she had yelled at him so loud, she was left with no choice but to whip him to death. That of course, was just an excuse of her. She wanted him dead after all, and wanted to torture him so badly before doing so…
"You useless mortal!" The mistress yelled her throat dry.
It would be the last day that she would see the bastard in front of her, therefore, she decided to savor every last bit of pain that she could inflict to him.
*Slap*
Instead of being angry like a few seconds ago, the mistress seemed to be happy instead. Her smile was wide, and her eyes seemed to have a glint of light that spelled the word "hehehe" evilly.
*Slap* She continued to hit him with her whip. Her attacks kept coming, and only after two to three strikes, a notification appeared to ease Xin Feng's doubts about the system.
*Ding*

[Talent achieved: Body tempering]

It seems that the system gave Xin Feng a talent for every hardworking act of his. A talent that belongs to the feats of the supernatural, in fact…
What Xin Feng was able to conclude from this, iss that the talents that he received were talents that he could naturally get without a system, but boosted into supernatural level and of great importance for the changing of his fate.
'Character!' Xin Feng yelled out loud inside his mind, a few seconds after receiving the bunch of notifications. The reason why, was so he could study the potential of his newly gained skills and talents.
*Fwoosh*
"Wuu! I made it! Getting whipped sure is traumatizing." Xin Feng uttered with his non-existent hand wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
***
[Body tempering]
*The talent to have an immovable and destructive body. Character will be given more vitality, a tougher body, and greater recovery with this talent~
***
After his usual period of being in disbelief and thinking how beneficial the talent can be, Xin Feng finally left the character room to receive some beating again. This time, although it would still hurt, Xin Feng was ready to receive it all…
Time moved slowly for a few seconds after he had exited his Character room. His body moved slowly as well… This was all due to the slowing of time after exiting.
With time slowing down, Xin Feng was given enough time to look around and understand what was going on. As a result, when time flowed naturally again, he was able to evade the girl's next attack right on time, even though he himself was restricted by time.
It happened like this. While in the motion of evading, Xin Feng had carefully inspected his surroundings before the frozen time had come to reset. Within the second that it reseted, he perfectly evaded the whip.
Now, with that done, he dashed off to take a chair that wasn't too far from him. His plan was to anger the mistress so she could not spare some pity in destroying his body. Of course, he didn't take it too far and made sure that she wouldn't be so angry to suddenly just kill him.
"Impudent!!" The young mistress yelled out loud before running after Xin Feng with her hand tightly holding her whip this time.
She had become a bit faster than before, and managed to get behind Xin Feng faster than Xin Feng had speculated...
Another round of spanking happened once more...
*Crash*
Xin Feng acted as if he had stumbled on a rock. After getting whipped a bunch of times, he felt the pain dissipating and his vigor rising instead of the contrary. That's why, right now, Xin Feng was asking the mistress for more, although indirectly. Within the two years, he got whipped without anything in return. Now however, he has a system that makes him stronger with each hit of the whip. Obviously, he wouldn't waste the system's generosity!
Of course, he wasn't a masochist to enjoy the pain. It's just that he was willing to become a masochist, since he didn't really have no choice... For him it was either to die immediately, to suffer until death, or to suffer greatly for a short moment. He decided to pick the latter, as it is the most beneficial to him.
Seeing how clumsy the bastard in front of her was, the young mistress couldn't help feeling superior. The bastard was older than her and had a father who cared more about his mother than hers. This felt awful to her, however, it was no longer so, since she is able to trample on him in whatever way she desires.
"Haha! Mere ant dares to run away from me!"
*Cough* *Cough* "Please young mistress! Forgive this lowly being!" Xin Feng acted pitiful in order to receive more benefits.
"Shut it!"
He was right. His words did make the mistress happier...
...
The hits kept coming until it was almost afternoon...
"Hah! You don't have to leave anymore… From now on you will become my practice dummy." The young mistress declared with a sadistic smile. She was extremely satisfied, and felt that she would be empty without her bastard of a brother.
After her words, she held Xin Feng on his leg to carry him to her manor. Xin Feng had attained a higher position now, hence why, he was being brought to the manor, and also, she was caring enough to bring him there for his injured body to be treated.
Of course, that is all a lie that she told herself, and the only reason why she would treat Xin Feng was because she wanted to continue having fun with him.
…
"You better recover within a week!" The young mistress demanded of Xin Feng. Xin Feng, who had his entire body bandaged and smeared with ointments, and all of his hair trimmed.
"Now go back to your hut! And don't mind the beasts! I'll sell them off tomorrow!"
With that said, Xin Feng walked back to his hut with a lot of effort...
*Sigh* 'Usually I would get hit only one or two times, but today… It was probably more than a hundred times! I can't believe my HP actually hit bottom...'
'But I don't get it though. How do I get the skills only now? Probably because I received the system only recently, and probably because they're boosted versions…'
...
After a long journey to his hut, Xin Feng rushed to check on his body. He felt that there was something different about it. It was like his body was thirsty for the ointments on it.
After he thought long enough about it, he decided to allow his body to do whatever it wanted to do. He sat down and closed his eyes, before allowing the strange sensation to enter his body.
As the sensation spread throughout his body, the wounds seemed to be visibly healing under the bandages. Healing wasn't the only thing, because the layer of ointments was also getting thinner by every second.
Before two hours had passed, Xin Feng's had already recovered to his peak.

"Nice!" Xin Feng shouted, as he began performing small jumps and dances inside his little hut.
After having had his fun time, he went on to read the details of his new skill and the quest that he had received. Satisfied with the description of his newfound skill, he went on to check out his new quest…
The new quest bewildered and disgusted him at the same time. It was a shameless quest from the system, and a disgusting quest that told him to smear...
"You want me to smear sh*t on my body?!"
The reason for this quest was simple. The feces on the barn contained a lot of spiritual energy. Alchemists love the feces, as it was a powerful source of fuel. The strange thing however, was that nobody was using it as a cultivation resource.
The reason why, is probably simple...
*Sigh…* "It is what it is."
After pondering about the quest and the feces, Xin Feng decided to head off to the place where the stored feces of the beasts were.
...
'Ugh… I can't believe I'm doing this.' Xin Feng felt like throwing up before he began the process.
After he was done smearing the feces of the golden chickens on his body, he went to sit in a cross-legged position. The reason for such a stupid idea, was simply because he thought it fitted the mood of a eastern fantasy world more.
Xin Feng had chosen the feces of those weird golden chickens with long beaks and wattles, which he did, simple because to the quest told him to do so.
The explanation of the quest being that the chickens were the weakest beasts available in the ranch, and because they were the weakest, they were the perfect requirements for Xin Feng to cultivate spiritual energy fast without errors.
