Forsaken Martial Spirit: The Ascension of Roberto

The embarrassment of youth

Roberto's mind raced as he pondered the rewards. A transparent panel appeared before him.

【Reward One: Top-notch Insight! Sorry, photographic memory? Just basic stuff.】

【Reward Two: Innate Luck! Ever experienced falling into a valley and picking up treasures, casually helping a beggar, and becoming a peerless expert?】

【Reward Three: Maximum Charisma!! Do you know what it means to be a walking heartthrob? You remain calm, while everyone else is screaming.】

【Reward Four: Heavenly Grace and Beauty, Peerless Divine Countenance!!! Your looks are lethal, captivating countless souls, ensnaring fairies and witches without them even realizing.】

Hiss—

After reviewing the rewards, Roberto's eyes gleamed brightly, fierce, too fierce.

What did the system mean by this? Was it implying that he should become a playboy driving fancy cars?

Pah, was he the kind of person who would do whatever he wanted just because he had a little luck, good looks, and some charm?

A bad system shouldn't try to corrupt its virtuous master.

Roberto could see the panel, but Isabella sitting across from him couldn't. Her heart trembled inexplicably as she wondered why this young man was staring at her with such fiery excitement.

They say human men start having those thoughts when they reach a certain age...

Under the table, Isabella's legs involuntarily pressed together, her buttocks tensed, and she sat upright, displaying the demeanor of an elder.

"Roberto, listen to me. You're still young, your body hasn't fully developed yet, and some things are premature."

"Huh?" Roberto was so focused on the system that he almost forgot there was a captivating beauty sitting in front of him.

Isabella's eyes narrowed, revealing an elder's authority. "Don't play dumb with me. Auntie saw that excited look in your eyes just now. Your body is still too weak for that."

Oh dear...

Roberto was speechless. This was a misunderstanding; how could she think such a thing? He couldn't explain the situation with the system, so all he could say was, "I can single-handedly capture wild boars now. Am I still weak?"

Isabella's cheeks flushed. Was he implying that he was strong enough to do physical labor now?

She scoffed, "You little rascal, can't you just speak plainly? You want it, Auntie can't refuse you. But not now; you'll understand later. Women are much scarier than that wild boar, especially when Auntie is the empress of the fox clan."

Thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, fifty can absorb the essence of the earth?

Roberto subconsciously recalled a saying from his previous life, then shook his head. What was all this nonsense? The enchanting beauty was leading him astray.

He couldn't explain it; the more he explained, the more chaotic it became. Roberto quickly took a few bites of food, then declared that he was finished and rushed back to his room.

Isabella was left sitting there, stunned.

"Is the young man upset because his thoughts were exposed?"

"Well, maybe. Since he's pretending not to know, I'll have to give him some sweetness and coax him."

The bewitching beauty remembered the special item she bought in the city a few days ago. With a delicate blush on her face, she bit her lip and decided to use it.

She glanced in the direction of the room and muttered softly, "I'm spoiling you, you stinky man. Who told you to be my foster son?"

In the tranquil wooden house, Roberto sat at the edge of the bed.

He and Isabella had always slept in separate rooms; she was afraid he couldn't control himself.

After all, that calamitous beauty, the fiery and charming figure, and the astonishing allure of the celestial fox were not something even a physically healthy person could resist.

No, it seemed neither humans nor beasts could resist.

Roberto sighed. Unfortunately, his strength was lacking. Even if delicious food was right in front of him, he couldn't enjoy it, or else he might explode with frustration.

But tomorrow, he would awaken his martial soul, and the opportunity to rapidly increase his strength would come.

"System, claim the rewards!"

He hadn't rushed to claim them earlier because he was afraid of making too much noise outside.

"Bang!"

Amidst the tranquil white clouds and the radiant sun, a massive illusionary golden dragon descended from the sky, plunged through the roof, and entered Roberto's spiritual aperture.

"Boom!"

As the dragon of fortune infused his body, Roberto was enveloped in radiant light. His bones crackled, and he grew several inches taller out of thin air. His spiritual aperture was clearer than ever, and his already handsome features now resembled those of an exiled immortal, exuding an extraordinary charm.

Wow!
