🌌 Chapter Begins...
Luan sat cross-legged in his wrecked apartment, still trying to process everything.
The battle with the assassins…
The awakening of the Celestial Core System…
And now, he had officially entered the world of cultivation!
His entire body felt different. His muscles were firmer, his reflexes were sharper, and there was a strange energy flowing through him—something that made him feel alive in a way he had never felt before!
"This is… cultivation?"
He clenched his fists.
🔥 WHOOSH! 🔥
A faint golden aura flickered around his body for a brief moment before vanishing.
💠 Ding! Host's cultivation potential has been unlocked! 💠
👁 "Congratulations, Host. You are now a cultivator. However, you lack a proper cultivation technique. Without one, your progress will be slow." 👁
Luan's eyes narrowed.
"I need a technique to actually grow stronger?"
👁 "Correct. A proper cultivation technique will determine your future path. Choose wisely." 👁
💠 Ding! The System has generated a list of cultivation techniques based on Host's potential! 💠

Luan's heart pounded as he scanned through the options.
"The first three are strong… but this last one—"
💠 Ding! Warning: 'Celestial Overlord Scripture' is an Ancient God-Level Technique! Requires extreme energy and talent to master! 💠
Luan's eyes flashed.
"God-Level?! That means it's on an entirely different scale than the others!"
But then he hesitated. The system clearly said it required insane amounts of energy to progress. That meant it would be extremely difficult to cultivate!
"Should I take the risk…?"
For a moment, doubt crept into his mind.
But then, he clenched his fists.
"No. If I'm going to do this, I will aim for the top!"
💠 Ding! Host has chosen [Celestial Overlord Scripture]! 💠
👁 "Wise choice. But be warned—this path will not be easy." 👁
Luan took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his decision.
"I don't care how hard it is. I will become strong enough to control my own destiny!"

🔹 The First Cultivation Session!
👁 "Now, begin your first cultivation session. Absorb the energy around you and circulate it through your meridians." 👁
Luan nodded and sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, closing his eyes.
He focused his mind and tried to sense the energy around him.
For a moment, there was nothing. Just silence.
But then—
🔥 WHOOSH! 🔥
He felt it!
A strange golden energy floating in the air, invisible to the human eye! It was weak, barely noticeable, but it was there!
He took a deep breath and guided it into his body—
BZZT!
A shockwave of pain exploded through his meridians!
Luan's eyes flew open as he coughed violently. His entire body felt like it was being burned from the inside!
💠 Ding! Host's body is too weak to handle full absorption! Limiting energy intake… 💠
👁 "Patience, Host. Your body is still adapting. Start slowly." 👁
Luan gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm. He tried again, this time absorbing just a tiny fraction of energy.
The pain was still there, but this time… he could endure it.
He focused, allowing the energy to flow through his meridians, slowly strengthening his body from within.
Seconds passed. Then minutes. Then—
💠 Ding! Host has successfully completed the first stage of cultivation! 💠
💠 Ding! Strength +5! Speed +3! Energy Reserves +10%! 💠
Luan exhaled sharply and opened his eyes.
His entire body felt lighter, faster, and more powerful.
"This… is cultivation!"

🔹 A New Crisis Approaches!
But just as Luan was celebrating his first breakthrough—
🚨 BZZT! 🚨
💠 Ding! WARNING! Incoming danger detected! 💠
Luan's smile vanished.
"Already?! I just started!"
👁 "A group of unknown forces is approaching your location. Their energy signatures suggest they are not human." 👁
Luan's heart pounded.
"Not… human?"
Before he could process what was happening, a low humming noise filled the air.
🔥 WHOOSH! 🔥
A strange shadow moved past his window at lightning speed!
Then—
🚨 BOOM! 🚨
His apartment door was blasted open, and a deep, metallic voice echoed through the room—
"Target confirmed. Neutralizing subject now."
Luan's blood ran cold.
He wasn't just fighting assassins anymore.
Something far more dangerous had just arrived!
