Chapter 8 - Chapter:08 First Elder

To complete the mission, Laizer leave the sect and began to head into the jungle. He didn't know where he was at the moment, but he decided to head deeper into the jungle.

Laizer:"Hmm… hey system, shouldn't I test my skills that I got?"

Ding:"Why not!"

Laizer: "Ok, then let's find someone to test it." 

He is running around the jungle with a big smile on his face. 

. He was happy right now because he had amazing skills.

Laizer:"Wait! Someone's there."

Laizer sensed someone.

Ding:"Great timing, master. Use your sensitive skill."

Laizer:"But how?"

Ding:"Just think of it."

Laizer closed his eyes and thought of his skill. The air grew light, the jungle became quieter, and the leaves on the trees started moving slowly. Then Laizer found himself dissolving into nature.

Ding:"Master, be calm."

Laizer heard the system and followed its words.

Laizer:"Holy cow! What is this information that is coming directly into my mind?"

Ding:"Congratulations, master. You have successfully activated your skill."

Laizer:"The hell is this? I can even tell how many animals, leaves, trees, mountains, rocks, fishes in the water, ants on the ground, and bugs in the air — and how many dead and alive are in a 1000-meter zone! This is amazing!"

Laizer was shocked by his skill, his eyes, and mouth were still wide open. He was really happy to get this skill.

Laizer:"Wait! There is one person 300 meters east with four beasts. I can tell their size and shape, but I don't know their names and powers!"

Ding:"Those are guardians of this jungle from the wolf tribe!"

Laizer:"Well! I hit the jackpot. I have found a person to recruit in the sect and also prey to test my power. Hehe, let's go!"

Laizer ran toward that person's direction with a chuckle on his face, full of energy.

Laizer:"I am coming, my dear points!"

Laizer was running, but he could tell that he wasn't using his full power. He asked the system:

Laizer:"Hey system, is it okay to push my limits so I can check where I stand now with this power?"

Ding:"Yes, you can. But use your skills. Don't try to force system power yet because you aren't trained yet — you could damage your body with that!"

Laizer:"Got it!"

He replied with a smirk on his face and jumped with his full power. While running, he started ascending and ascending and ascending upward. Now he could see as far as enough to see. He saw mountains and a waterfall flowing under beautiful mountains. The beautiful jungle was looking even more beautiful now.

Before he could realize, he had come too high, and now he started falling!

Laizer:"Haaa haaa aaaahhhhhhh!"

Ding:"Warning! The host can die from this height if he falls!"

Ding:"Warning!"

Ding:"Warning!"

Laizer:"Aaahhhhh!"

Laizer:"Hey, stop these notifications and tell me something! I didn't know that I was this powerful to touch clouds with a simple jump!"

Laizer was falling at high speed and was about to hit the ground!

Ding:"I couldn't give you wings to help you here!"

Laizer:"Huh? Wings! Yes, wings!"

Laizer remembered that he had the skill Iron Wings. He immediately thought of Iron Wings.

Ding:"Congratulations on successfully activating Iron Wings."

Laizer:"Shit! If I were late just 0.04 seconds, I definitely would have died!"

Laizer was saved by near luck. His nose had already touched the ground; if Iron Wings had not activated, he would have died!

Laizer:"Sheesh! How can I forget about this cool skill!"

He said with a frustrated face.

Laizer:"Well, let's test this out also!"

Laizer started to use his Iron Wings and, slowly, he was floating one foot high in the air. He didn't know how to use it yet, 

Laizer:"Hey, how to use it?"

Ding:"Just think in your mind which direction you want to go, and your speed will automatically be adjusted according to your need!"

Laizer:"Wow! Cool. It's too simple and easy!"

Laizer was happy to find out how easy this great skill was. He looked at himself flying and enjoyed it like a five-year-old boy whose dream was always to fly.

Laizer:"Oh, no! I forgot about my points— I mean, that person. If he dies, I'll have to look for another!"

He looked quickly, facing east. As soon he turned his head, he went at a thousand kilometers per hour, speed and in a second, he arrived where he wanted!

Laizer couldn't believe the speed at which the flight was going. His eyes were wide-open as he stared at his hands that were shaking as a result of what he had just gone through.

Laizer:"There's too much in this world that I don't know. Well, I'll get to know slowly. First, let's handle what's at hand."

Laizer looked down and saw an unbelievable sight. Four giant wolves were slain, and a man with an injured body was lying on the ground unconscious! Laizer flew down and went near the wolf bodies, asking the system:

Laizer:"How powerful were these creatures?"

Ding:"These are guardian beasts, and these beasts are mid-grade beasts."

Laizer:"Wow! Although I don't fully understand this power system, it seems pretty impressive. But what's more impressive is this man who slew them!"

Laizer turned his head, putting his eyes on the warrior who lay unconscious. He looked at him with suspicion, thinking for a moment, then got near to examine him.

Ding:"Name: Nizaan.

Skills: Slayer.

Talent: God-tier.

Realm: Late Stage Qi Awakening.

Body State: Unconscious."

Laizer:"Hmm? System, what's this Qi Awakening realm and this God-tier talent?"

Ding:"Qi Awakening realm is the realm every martial artist works hard to achieve. For some, it even takes a hundred years to get to this point. It has three stages: Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage. After the Late Stage, if you are lucky enough to break through, you can become a Master-level martial artist. You can even create your own skills and master them, or practice the ones you are using — it's up to you."

Laizer:"Wow… so it's this complicated and hard to become a Master?"

Ding:"Everyone is not as lucky as you, to directly achieve mastery in one day."

Laizer:"Shut up!"

Ding:"Master, don't waste this opportunity. Gather these beasts' core energy and convert it into physical form. It's a treasure to get even a low-grade beast core, but they are mid-grade beasts!"

Laizer:How many surprises am I going to get today? Well, it's good to have treasures. But tell me how to do it!" and also tell a little about how power system works.

Ding: *"Master, now you are really in the Master realm. To get here, you have to take a total of ten steps:

Mortal Body

Qi Condensation

Early Stage

Middle Stage

Martial Artist

Qi Awakening

Qi Awakening Early Stage

Qi Awakening Middle Stage

Qi Awakening Late Stage

Master

After reaching Qi Awakening, 60% of martial artists never reach the next step, and 70% never succeed in breaking through from Late Stage. But those who can, they become Masters. A Master martial artist gains special abilities, and one of those is energy manipulation. You can freely manipulate energy in your body or someone else's, and shape it however you want!"*

Laizer:"Hmm! So you're saying now that I have become a Master, I can do this?"

Ding:"Right."

Laizer:"Fucking hell! Why didn't you simply tell me that I could?! Why hack my mind with all this bullshit?!"*

Laizer screamed like a dog at the system because he didn't like complicated stuff.

Ding:"Master, this info is very important. You have to have a sense of it, because now you're not just a martial artist — you're a sect master also!"

Laizer:"Ah! Sect… I nearly forgot about the sect and my mission! Let's finish with the beasts and go to the sect!"

 After that, Laizer lifted Nizaan's body and headed toward the sect using his Iron Wings skill.

Laizer:"This man is about at least 60+ kg, and I'm lifting him while flying almost 200 feet high… but I'm feeling nothing, like I didn't lift anything, and I'm not even tired!"

Ding:"Master, this is because of your Diamond Body skill and because you are a Master now. In this world, for those who practice martial arts and achieve certain stages, these minor things can't bother them. Right now, if you give your 100%, you could even lift a normal-sized mountain!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Laizer didn't say anything, but he tightened his lips while flying toward the sect. He realized he had to take this world seriously — this was no joke. He had to completely understand his own powers if he wanted to survive here.

After some time, they arrived at the sect. Laizer took Nizaan to a random room of the sect and laid him down.

Laizer:"System, is there a way to heal him?"

Ding:"Yes. Use one of the cores you got from the beasts and convert it into energy form. After that, extract pure and clean energy and inject it through his lower dantian. Like that, all of his injuries will be healed 90%."

Laizer:"But… how?"

Ding:"Just do it. You will understand through the process."
