"System, use fishing attempts."
Ye Xuan didn't hesitate at all, directly using the fishing attempts given by the system. Suddenly, darkness enveloped him, followed by an invisible force that slowly guided him into a new space.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Ye Xuan's vision cleared, and he found himself in an endless galaxy. Countless stars adorned the dark night sky, shimmering with dazzling light, like sparkling gems.
Ye Xuan hovered above this galaxy, feeling the warm light emanating from the stars and the vast power of the flowing galaxy. His heart was filled with awe.
"Why do the vast majority of transmigrators bound to systems trust them?"
"This is the answer!"
It wasn't that he lacked experience; anyone who saw this scene would be awestruck, and after the awe came a sense of security.
In a strange world, having such a powerful system bound to him instantly gave him a sense of security.
Just as Ye Xuan was stunned, a soft golden light slowly rose from his palm, gradually condensing into a fishing rod enveloped in purple light. The rod's shaft was engraved with intricate and delicate runes, each shimmering faintly.
At the tip of the rod was inlaid a dark blue gemstone, exuding a mysterious aura. A golden line hung from the tip, stretching straight into the dazzling starry sky.
As the line descended, the surrounding space seemed to ripple subtly, as if something was being slowly drawn towards it.
Ye Xuan stared intently at the golden line, hoping to catch a decent ability.
If he couldn't catch the ones he had previously imagined, he could accept something like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket, Grey Wolf's inventive abilities, or the Emperor's Armor.
Hmm, perhaps that was a bit greedy, but since he knew he was being greedy, why not aim even higher?
Just as Ye Xuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt an unusual vibration from his fishing rod. With a thought, the fishing line, carrying a golden sphere emitting a soft glow, rapidly rose upwards. The system's voice also rang in Ye Xuan's ears.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the template · Wang Quan Ba Ye (Youthful Days)]
[Note: 1. Wang Quan Ba Ye is a character from the Fox Spirit World, the leader of the "Mask" organization, the future leader of the One Qi Alliance, and the head of the Wang Quan family. This template is his youthful days. Although he has a sword heart, he has not yet mastered the Wang Quan sword intent.]
[Note: 2. After the host merges with the template, he will obtain all the talents and abilities possessed by the template, but will not merge with the template's own memories, personality, and emotions.]
"A character from the Fox Spirit World, the template of Wang Quan Ba Ye?"
Ye Xuan was stunned when he saw the item he had caught, and related images floated into his mind.
"This place is indeed a forbidden zone for cowards, but how can it frighten us, how can it frighten my royal ambitions!"
"That day, I saw the strongest swordsman, wielding the strongest sword in the world, yet, he had already lost his sword heart."
"If we can continue our bond, what does it matter whether the other party is a monster or not?"

"Huaizhu, I can finally come to see you with a sword heart."
In youthful arrogance, he always believed nothing was impossible; as time passed, he finally realized that all worldly affairs had their limits.
Wang Quanba's life was tragic, and this tragic transformation led him to the outside world; because outside the circle, the tragic deaths of his brothers and sisters, the decline of the Daoist sect, the assassination of Dongfang Huaizhu, and the loss of his sword heart—all stemmed from outside the circle.
But was leaving the circle a mistake?
Ye Xuan remained silent, then shook his head. This answer should be given by Wang Quanba and the members of the Masked Group, not by him; but for him, youthful impetuosity was never a mistake. They had simply underestimated the outside world and overestimated themselves.
"But in your youth, you hadn't yet grasped the essence of the Wangquan Sword?"
"Yes, Wang Fugui said that the Wangquan Sword Intent was created by Wangquan Bayue, the ancestor of the Wangquan family, after returning from outside the circle. Although the first person to comprehend the Wangquan Sword Intent was Wangquan Wumu, he died too young, and it wasn't passed down."
"Even after losing your sword heart, you can still comprehend the Wangquan Sword Intent. If your sword heart were still intact, could you truly achieve oneness with the Wangquan Sword?"
Ye Xuan recalled the scene where Wangquan Bayue, in an attempt to revitalize the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, tried to forcibly merge the Wangquan Sword Intent with the Wangquan Sword, but failed.
Without the sword heart, how can the sword in one's hand and the sword in one's heart become one?
Though the sword in one's hand grows ever sharper, if the sword heart remains intact, wielding the Wangquan Sword, why should one fear the Four Demon Emperors?
"System, fuse with the Wang Quan Ba Ye template,"
Ye Xuan said softly. A surge of powerful energy flowed into his body from the void, like a rushing river, carrying boundless vitality and life force, coursing through his meridians.
As the energy continued to pour in, Ye Xuan's body began to tremble slightly. Every inch of his skin, every muscle, was undergoing a dramatic transformation.
Although humans in the Fox Demon World could not live forever, mastering any power greatly altered the body. Without a powerful physique, how could one bear the power they possessed? While
Wang Quan Ba Ye in his youth was not as powerful as Wang Quan Fu Gui, who possessed the spiritual power of Dongfang Huai Zhu, as the strongest prodigy of his generation, his strength was by no means weak, especially compared to an ordinary person like Ye Xuan.
As the fusion progressed, Ye Xuan's clothing also began to change. His original clothes gradually faded, replaced by a blue and white outer robe and a white inner garment. A long sword, inscribed with the characters "Wang Quan," appeared in his hand.
This was certainly not the real Wangquan Sword, but merely the sword that Wangquan Baye wielded in his youth, only engraved with the words "Wangquan." Ye Xuan hadn't expected that the system would even provide him with clothes and weapons after merging with the template.
Feeling the full power within his body now, and the involuntary belief that "there is no place under heaven that cannot be reached, and nothing that cannot be accomplished" that arose when he gripped the longsword, Ye Xuan truly understood the sword heart that Wangquan Baye had lost.
After a long while, Ye Xuan finally recovered from the power given to him by the Wangquan Baye template, and then, with a thought, he retrieved his robe and longsword into the system space.
Although he really wanted to find a place to try out the power he had gained, it was already evening, and he had school the next day. Although
the dimensional invasion and the revival of spiritual energy had given everyone the opportunity to possess power, only a few could ultimately obtain it. Moreover, the Xia Kingdom still had Elder Zhong, who had obtained the "Rock King Emperor" template, as a guardian. If you thought you could do whatever you wanted just because you had gained power, you were just dreaming.
