"Hmm... What should I buy?" Gu Cheng looked at the menu, he was stretched out on his stomach on the bed.

Gu Cheng eyes skimmed through the list of items. It truly was infinite, the availability of items was completely up to your imagination.

"Well...no point thinking too much." Gu Cheng thought as he purchased the Grade 8 Martial Arts - Earth Shattering Claw.

-- Ding! Purchase Success! Covet Coins - 800!

-- Ding! Your lucky number is one! One layer would be completed immediately!

Right after the purchase, a surge of memory instantly gushed into his mind.

"Arggh!" Gu Cheng screamed as his mind was flooded unexpectedly with information. It was the entire manual of Earth Shattering Claw!

His eyes turned white. His consciousness had been pulled into a martial chamber, countless books and scrolls were all around, and he was the sole perpetrator, practicing the same moves for seconds, minutes, hours....

As time goes on, he was moving faster, even faster, much faster!

One month...

Three months...

Nine months...

One year...

Until it reaches five years time, where the figure stopped, and Gu Cheng came back to reality.

"Huff...huff...." Gu Cheng gasped rapidly, his clothes were completely soaked wet. His eyes were wide open, and his body is feeling stronger than ever before!

"Crack!" The bed's frame broke apart while he was trying to stand up. Shocked, Gu Cheng looked at his hands, and quickly focused back on the System.

"Wow...I'm a Grade 9 Martial Artist now..." Gu Cheng muttered to himself.

"Since I still have points...let's go all in!" Thought Gu Cheng as he redirected all his remaining coins toward the Earth Shattering Claw skill!

-- Covet Coins - 400

-- Covet Coins - 800

-- The skill, Earth Shattering Claw, has reached its maximum potential.

"Thump, thump" Had anyone been in the same room, they would've heard the echoes of a heartbeat. Gu Cheng's entire body is heating up swiftly, and for each time the heart beats, his blood vessels expanded. There was no coming to a halt, the frequency only became higher, and higher!

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!"

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and held his breath, and until one point...

"Poof!"

It was as if something broke apart, something that allowed his energy to assimilate much better with his body. It was his root meridian, the previously blocked paths were now cleared, and streams of blood and ethereal energy were cycling wildly throughout his entire body! His previous scars faded along with his newfound bruises, it was as if he had a whole new body!

"Whoo...." It was only after a few minutes before the distress finally went still.
