Someone said that it wasn't wrong to have both elements of lightning and fire elements. Let me get something straight, it wasn't wrong, but in the eyes of people who aren't advanced like a small town that can barely afford basic beginner's cultivation manual for all of their new cultivators what would lightning and fire do?
In their eyes wouldn't it be the same causing fire, a town does not have as much resources as a city, I would know.
Even though it would allow you to move at incredible speeds do they know better? All the books a no-name town would have wouldn't even cover half of the properties of an element!
I understand where he (or she) was coming from as fire and lightning are great elements. I am not trying to insult anyone openly, I was just trying to clear a misunderstanding.

Su Lie was stuck, he couldn't decide what to buy. There were many things one could use the 609 points to buy, many mid-grade techniques were available for just 500 points.
He felt tempted, he was praying for a kind system that would give him points for even the least important things, but the way the system compared his brain to a windows 7 still somewhat irked him.
The Heaven Defying Fist and Primary Kidney breaker were the cheapest at only 150 P for both of them combined.
Without thinking much he both the two new techniques, they would prove to be useful to him even if only for a short time.
[Congratulations, Host has unlocked Heaven Defying Fist! Would Host like to start assimilation?]
[Congratulations, Host has unlocked Primary Kidney Breaker! Would Host like to start assimilation?]
The name of Heaven Defying Fist was very wuxia-like so he didn't have high expectations of it, a wuxia name would be Immortal Buddha Fist, but in reality wouldn't be able to damage an opponent on the same level with you!
'I'd like to see information on Heaven Defying Fist and Primary Kidney Breaker.'
A screen opened displaying information for both of them.
[Heaven Defying Fist:
Ignite the body with the aura of the gods, concentrate all the power into the fist and deliver the final punch to change the tide of the battle.
The technique is refined to fit the cultivation of the individual using it.]
Suddenly, Su Lie's expectation of the technique hit the ground as if there was 100x gravity forcing it.
Even if he was to 'ignite his body with the aura of the gods' the "gods" powers would be a little bit higher than his own.
Though, in the hands of a cultivator whom reached the Immortal stage it would live up to its name, right now it was in the hands of a kid who just started cultivating.
[Primary Kidney Breaker:
The primary technique for breaking a kidney!]
This technique made him smile. Anyone who dared challenge him would have to do a kidney transplant when the fight was over, he might just break the two kidneys while he's at it!
Su Lie smiled, he could already understand what the assimilation meant but he wasn't ready yet. He would need to get himself in prime condition where his spirit would be one with his soul, his mental consciousness one with his body.
Then he doubted whether he would feel pain.
The dismissed the tabs for the Primary Kidney Breaker and Heaven Defying Fist which now left the tabs that decided if he should assimilate the move.
He had really gone up in the world, he would become one of the strongest cultivators to ever walk all the worlds!
"Yes-" He began.
The tabs disappeared.
He realized that he had really screwed up.
He realized what was about to happen, he uttered one word.
"Sh*t."
A mind-numbing brain spread throughout his entire body, his legs felt weak and his arms felt as if they had been uprooted forcefully. His brain could not take it, his very fibre felt like he was about to pop!
His internal structure felt like they were adjusting, his bones seemingly shifted into place. It felt like he was fracturing every bone and then breaking them into even smaller pieces, his brain felt like irrelevant information was being forced into it.
After some seconds the pain left, all the aches in his body disappeared.
"Eh?"
He got up and looked at himself, the pain itself had left and the only thing he could use to be sure that he was in pain was the memory in his brain, even his muscle memory had cleared out.
He immediately knew how to do both the Primary Kidney Breaker and the Heaven Defying Fist, next time he would do it one after the other. His body parts was intact, in fact his movements felt less forced even though they weren't forced before.
His bones had been rearranged to fit his body!
Su Lie groaned, this system was a specialist in pain, he wondered why he had this system in the first place.
Normally, only after the third stage would the body rearrange the bones to exactly fit the body.
[Host is recommended to take a shower!]
An exclamation mark, Su Lie squinted his eyes to make sure that he was seeing correctly, was a system supposed to have emotions!
"I guess I really stink."
His instincts screamed that he should keep his nose away from his armpits.
Su Lie located the bath room and washed his body thoroughly, he thought about burning his old clothes to hid the fact that he cultivated today from his parents.
Before one was supposed to cultivate it was required that their body would be brimming with Qi and spiritual energy.
An exercise that got the heart pumping and increased the spiritual energy intake of the body was ideal. If one cultivated without doing an activity that took the body to overdrive mode nothing bad would happen except the destruction of the environment.
The energy created when the body tried to make do with old energy that had settled and became stagnant like stagnant water would kill the air and spiritual energy in the environment.
It wasn't illegal but neither was it advised.
Soon, Su Lie left the bath room with a towel wrapped around his body. He made his way and was about to enter it but he felt a pungent smell, next time he would make sure his heart, mind and soul were in overdrive the next time he decided to cultivate.
…
"Haah, that's better."
The room had been cleaned thoroughly and the smell left.
"I really need to open my eyes." He sighed.
Su Lie had began growing accustomed to this world, he felt like he had become a part of it, that was why he felt that fire and lightning were the same. This small town didn't cover everything and he was gradually feeling more like someone originally from this world, these days the only reason he remembered he was from another world was for the nostalgia that he felt.
But now the system had sparked the dimming memory into his sights again, he could now see things the right way again.
His memories felt like they were clogged after a decade here, but now, he could finally see things right.
"I started feeling like I belonged here, if I didn't get the system my goals would've been empty ones.
To think that this morning I thought that having those two elements were useless, I forgot that I wanted to be like Nie Li, I wanted to run as fast as the flash, I wanted to be special, I forgot all those things..."
"But now I remember!"
He got up the bed and stretched his legs.
'I'll check that off my internal bucket list: Do a protagonist monologue. Check!'
Su Lie headed to the living room, he was expecting to see his parents still discussing about his final verdict but instead he met his little sister doing her home-work.
He casually went to an adjacent chair and sat down, he was staring at her intently. He noticed his gaze and stared back at him, the two of them were locked in each other's gaze.
(A/N: She's nine years old.)
She blinked.
"I win!" Su Lie said triumphantly.
"Big brother.." his sister began.
"Mhm.
"Are you a cultivator now?"
