2022-07-01 15:42:24His gaze focused back on the display, Yunzheng narrowed his eyes and mumbled out loud, "Servant System?"
Before long, Yunzheng realized that there was something that connected itself deep within his cultivated soul. It was a strange feeling, as if an invisible cord was tied into his heart, glabella, and dantian, the three spots where one's soul resided.
Before he could probe the sensation further, a booming siren appeared and from the intersection, a black sedan was speeding to the opposite lane. However, instead of crashing at the incoming vehicles, the sedan easily went through them like some kind of hologram.
The police cars chasing after them could only move to the right track while they tracked the car from afar. Later on, they went to other intersections and disappeared from sight.
Meanwhile Yunzheng was rooted on the spot after he watched the event. He turned his gaze to the passerby below, using some of his little bit of energy left to exchange his vision. The expressions of shock or surprise he had expected of them were nowhere to be found, with only some revealing a mildly curious face and others continued their walk.
Those foreboding feelings surged back to him and he couldn't help but feel the urge to investigate his surroundings in more detail. But before all that, there was something he had to take care of first.
In a lotus position, he closed his eyes and observed himself. Raising his senses to the max, he guided the energy rolling within to flow towards where this intangible link came from. Yet, after five minutes, his senses and energy couldn't find anything.
At least, he had discovered that the energy drifting in the air, the energy of all life, Qi, was much more faint than in the cultivation world. His Cycle of Nine Stars technique should let him refill all of his energy after only a few moments of breaths. But even when five minutes passed, he had gathered mere trickles. Not to mention, his body was much more out of shape, causing him to be stiff with just this little bit of sitting and using lightened steps.
A sigh escaped his lips as he stood, gripping his fists. Despite his deep knowledge, his current cultivation had changed back to when he started cultivating.
'Is it even necessary for me to get strong again?'
When such thought entered his mind, he looked at his surroundings and moved once more. Landing on some alleyway, he saw some people gazed at his direction but turning their eyes right after. Yet, another discomforting fact when he saw how they didn't seem that surprised at his action.
He blends with the crowd and they subconsciously make a distance for him. As he walked, he looked above and saw the vast blue. When he narrowed his eyes and infused some energy, the sun seemed to flicker for the briefest of milliseconds.
'Fake sky, unknown technology and street, but the same language.' he mused, clenching his teeth and felt the heavy lump in his guts, 'Where am I? Does my family.. Still alive?'
His legs brought him to the public park where several couples and teenagers were hanging out together. Nearby, street vendors selling snacks and junk foods were occupied with the influx of customers in the busy hour. As Yunzheng gave a closer look, the customers only swipe their watch to the small machine owned by the vendor and grab their food after.
'Different currency as well.'
Shaking his head, Yunzheng went to a wooden bench and sat, listening to the multiple chatter in the background and the noisily vehicles on the road. His Cycle of Nine Stars finally gathered the lost energy he had spent running away from the cemetery. Or at least, that was how the place looked to him and with that clue, it was evident he crawled out of his grave.
"Profile."
With a soft whisper, he conjured the blue screen in front of him. It shows him the same content just like before when he tried along the way to this park. But now his energy bar had almost been replenished.

Ignoring the list of his techniques in the Skills section, his attention was focused onto the system and cultivation part. Not only did the display show his current cultivation with such accuracy, but there was a hint for another rank for the system.
"How To raise the system's rank?" Yunzheng asked, half expecting to not see any reply before the text appeared.
[The Host could finish the System's tasks to upgrade the System.]
"Is that so?" he muttered dumbly and looked around if anybody noticed him talking to himself. With a sigh, he prompted up and noted a few goals in his mind. Now, he will achieve the first one.
'Learn about the world and get some cash.'
He had nothing on him at the moment and with it, came the inconvenience of not being able to buy anything. He turned his head around and saw a young man, looking around early twenties, walking in hurried steps. A scheme crossed and he went to the young man. To borrow the fancy wrist watch everyone has and see if he could access the internet. After all, with technology as advanced as this, there would be no way they wouldn't have an internet.
That and perhaps a quick direction to the police station. his family have to be something he need to check out the no matter what.

"That would be 2000 credits."Nodding his head, Yunzheng walked to the strapped device at the entrance of the bus and placed his Exwatch a few centimeters between them. A second later, soft buzzing noise emerged and blue lights scattered to scan the watch for a while until they disappeared completely. When he got off the bus, Yunzheng activated the watch on his right wrist right away and saw the hologram display, which told him that his balance had reduced by 2000 points. Fiddling with the little gadget a little more, Yunzheng thought that the item was indeed much more convenient to carry, replacing the smartphone industry and not to mention, the so called air touch was kind of cool. Because of his long age, he was rarely surprised since he knew most things in the cultivation world. This, however, brought quite a novel feeling to it. He gained his Exwatch and the credits thanks to the young college student before. Nothing a simple hypnotizing technique couldn't fix. Still, there wa

Dumbfounded. That was the reaction of all the people before him until the thugs realized that they were threatened by a superhuman. At first, they exchanged glances at one another before one at the far right with bushy beard and the goofiest tattoo of an octopus on his arm stepped forward and explained themselves. "Are you a Guardian? We belong to the Golden Coalition. We already have permits and this man signed our terms willingly."Yunzheng stared at the middle aged man who was only cowering and hung his head low, avoiding Yunzheng's gaze. Seeing that, some of the thugs sneered and the first bearded man smiled and tried to say something.But in the blink of an eye, Yunzheng already arrived at his side and grabbed the man's neck. Caught off-guard, the man let out a strange yelp as he was lifted, choked at the iron grip while his muscles shrunk and his strength leaving him in breakneck speed. His friends who watched that, quickly rushed to Yunzheng, drawing out knives simultaneously

Lunging down, Yunzheng gathered part of the energy into his hands as he recalled a fist technique. Yet, in midair, he saw one of the liquid-like limbs fly in his direction even though he should be at the man's blind spot. With his instinct screaming at him, Yunzheng sent the punch right at the tip of the limb and felt as if he was hitting a plate of steel. Using the little rebound of their confrontation, he flipped his body and gained more distance from his target. Still, the latter appeared to have expected the scenario and won't let him go so easily. Two more semi transparent tentacles went their ways to stab him. In the short period of time and a brief glance, Yunzheng tried to twist his body and dodge, but they still grazed the right side of his waist and left shoulder. Bleeding, he rushed to his opponent with the fastest speed he could muster. The world turned into a crawl and he noticed the scowl of the super, who was at least six feet tall, wearing white shirt with black jac

Scorching. That was the feeling he felt on every inch of his flesh and bones. Yet, contrary to everything, his blood felt ice cold, freezing water in the chilliest winter which rolled through the head to the toe.The two opposite extremes slowly forging him, breaking and molding him before they cooled and healed everything. A full display of both torture and europhia that the sickest masochist would enjoy. After some period, he felt itches spreading under his skin and the foulest stench flooding his nostrils. For the uneducated, foolish amateurs, they would reeled in reflex or ignorance, bringing more harm than good in a span of breaths. He held in those urges to scratch or even to move at all, of course. Staying still like he was nothing more than a stone and a stone he was. At last, the contrast sensation, together with the itches and all had subsided to the point it was barely noticeable. Opening his closed-tight eyes, he rose and walked to a corner. Retched the blackish substanc

The same tranquil atmosphere and night, a scene Wei Long had gotten used to after a few years of night shift. His partner, Cai Mo, was across from him, reorganizing the cards on the table as he yawned. The dozens of monitors on their side were ignored, functioning on their lonesome for in the history of this building, almost no one would dare to make a mess or trespass illegally. There were hardly any valuable properties for those who wanted to barge in. Not to mention, this was the nest of ready-battle veterans with an armory full of weapons to boot. Not to mention the supers stationed in this place, watching like hawks and crouching in the dark like a hunting cheetah. A suicidal mission, that what it was. Although this place indeed held all of the important documents that might even be priceless if you knew their value, raiding this place was nonsensical.Something Wei Long would have to rethink for the very first time, a loud noise blaring out. Surprising the hell out of him and

When he woke up from the deep slumber, he shielded his eyes as bright light blinded his vision until he blinked a few more times. Adjusting his senses to the surroundings, he found himself laid on a cold floor and an almost empty room with only a single bucket could be spotted on one of the edges.One side of the walls was clear glass, where he sighted a man in uniform who sat on a chair while he fiddled with his exwatch. Oblivious to Yunzheng's state for his attention wholly focused on another thing and beside him, a table with a few sorts of things such as a plate of piled chips, cards, a glass that held what seemed to be half filled coffee, and a paper. Yunzheng rubbed his glabella and let out a soft groan when the circumstances finally sunken into his mind. He got captured, that much was obvious but what vexed him would be how he couldn't even guard against whatever skill that man with a mask thrown at him. Just in time, something rang within his head and a translucent blue scre

A bizarre sight even for Yunzheng as he saw the moving smoke coming from Gilbert and entered through the orifices of a full grown man. As if he couldn't breathe, the man held his neck, choking and his eyes bulged out until at last, he slumped to the ground. Eyes rolled backwards while Gilbert landed with a hop. [A Side Task has Appeared!] [Side Task : Escape the building with Gilbert's help in less than an hour! Rewards : Gilbert's level +5Failure : Suspend Gilbert for a few weeks.]Skimming through the notification, another shout ensued. This time, it sounded familiar and when Yunzheng glanced at the direction of the voice, there was a struggle between a full grown man and a cat which he couldn't touch. "You cannot be so rough to the soon-to-be noble, nya!"With its feet materialized out of the drifting smoke, Gilbert clawed the man's mask and knocked it away. The scarred feature had been displayed for the world to see and the man tried to cover his face with his hand. Still, th

It has always been a bad day for Chen Yue. Things in life have never been brightening up for her and at times, her hard work pays nothing. Sometimes, she would be assigned to a task which nobody wanted to get and most of the time, things went awry outside of her control. "So, how many people get injured, exactly?"When she said those words, she could feel her stomach churning and threatened her last lunch to get out of her system. As she walked beside her colleague, who flipped the stacked reports on his hand while they were both walking through the wrecked hallways filled with cracks and holes, the man finally replied. "Fifteen heavy injuries, twenty six minor injuries and light concussions, but there's four deaths of which two of them were Guardians, ma'am."The scene of a bellied pot, balding short man yelling at her face had appeared instantly in her mind. The day was when her team scheduled to watch over the newest troublemaker with abilities undetected by any sort of machines

As his breathing started to calm down, Yunzheng's leaned body rose and his eyes narrowed. Half of his clothes were soaked by the blood of his own and others. Though the flesh mend and strength surged, exhaustion nagged at the back of his mind. Aching in a slow rhythm whilst he gripped his fists. It was a sign of overusing his body without a proper technique. Despite his wounds being reconstructed, he could feel that something was wrong and the Blood Nourishing pills could only do so much. He needs proper treatment or to absorb more prey soon but for now, he will grit his teeth, continue his search, and finish this mission. As he marched on, Yunzheng found the lack of presence nearby. Although he should be on the way to the section where it should be most guarded, he didn't see any cannon fodders, not to mention supers. Finally, his path led him into a dead end. Raising his eyebrows, Yunzheng simply executed his fist technique and tried to break down the walls. To his surprise, alt

Half an hour after he barged through the mansion and wreaked havoc by himself, Yunzheng gained a considerable amount of energy as his cultivation almost reached its peak. Sometimes, he would spot other guardians that would fight in a group or two but Yunzheng immediately ignored them and went for another location. As he progressed forward, the notifications about Gilbert gaining more levels appeared in his view, causing him to smile a little even in the middle of battle. So far, what he had faced was supers that were either around rank C and B, with most seemed to be in the rank D but their ability was more diverse and unsuited for combat, such as wall climbing, tougher bones, spurting inks out of their hands. While getting closer to the main location of the raid, Yunzhenh also saw more B and A rank supers. If before there were only a couple or so of them, now it has turned into a group of ten. He had to even use his formation flags to fight and even ground with them. Fortunately,

When Wang Mei and the rest finally arrived inside the mansion, some of them widened their eyes at the big pool of blood and guts decorating the place. One of them even murmured the word crazy and truthfully, Wang Mei had to agree. They were supposed to capture these criminals, no matter how heinous their actions were. Yet, one person turned this battlefield into a bloodbath. The scene was disheartening to see. Rumors of Yunzheng's ability or martial arts were heavily linked into something like a vampire or Dracula spread around, especially when there was a strange corpse of a super in the courtyard. Wang Mei commented nothing on the matter and kept marching on. There would be a group of people that would deal with this mess or aftermath. "Wait, there's a kid!"That shout caught half of the guardians attention as they approached to see the situation. A little girl, who seemed to not be older than sixteen, was lying on the ground in a ball. Clutching her stomach as she closed her eye

As his sword swiftly cleaved through the mobs, a gigantic statue was thrown to him, prompting him to execute his movement technique and avoiding it entirely. The ground shook and the statue crushed some of the mobs. Emerging from the cloud of dust were a few guardians, suffering no injuries except some tears on their clothes. A loud snort echoed throughout the vast courtyard and a giant shadow loomed over the battlefield. At the same time, hundreds of clones with the same face were shooting back bullets towards the guardians, as if they were facing an army instead of a criminal organization."It's an A rank, duplication skill, Xen Wu. Find his real body and kill him!"A guardian shouted out as he conjured a transparent wall, making the bullets passing through them to become as slow as snails. Meanwhile, another Guardian rushed forward, both of his hands morphed into one and half meters steel claws and sliced through the clones and the bullets. Giant vines and branches sprouting out

"So, we have our own positions and since your ability suits you in the front line, I will suggest for you to think twice before rushing in and being reckless. This is the map of the place that the association had gotten for us. This would be a nice, quick, and smooth operation, so mistakes wouldn't be acceptable."The more he heard the man called Chou Wen rambling on, the more Yunzheng couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows in amusement. It was as obvious as the day that this new colleague of his was trying to show his dominance in seniority. Strangely, he tried to focus his attention to Yunzheng but there were instances when the man would secretly take a peek at Wang Mei who was sitting quietly at the corner, watching the passing scenery in the window. Gilbert, who was sitting one his side, was gazing at Chou Wen too, seemingly as aware as Yunzheng was. Even Wang Mei herself didn't spare a glance at the man, pretending to not care or hear anything. Only Lavda was still looking arou

A scorching pain followed him in every step he took. His ragged breath formed into icy mist and his body shriveled at the faintest breeze. Strength leaving him as time passed and the roaring of his stomach was what echoed the most throughout the road. He had lost the sensation of his legs for a while. Even maintaining his open eyes gave him an effort he never knew existed. The only fuel that prompted him forward was the faces of his family back home. One and only wish he held dear, to come back and to not become a cold corpse in a foreign land he never heard of. When he rubbed his hand to seek for the slightest warmth, he saw the frostbite fingers.he wanted to chuckle but instead turned into a soft whimper that escaped his lips. Despite this, he trod forward. Never looking back. Minutes stretched into eternity and his own flesh felt more of irons and steel to shackle him to the ground. For who knows how long, his feet hit a rough staircase and the big wooden door with a board on t

When Wang Mei walked to the lift that led her to Kim YoSoo's office, she couldn't help but frown and wondered what kind of matter it would be since usually, Chou Wen would be the chosen one to attend the briefings. Finally, she got there and greeted An Shen who said, "They are already waiting for you inside."The word 'they' caused Wang Mei to raise her eyebrows before she excused herself. She knocked a few times until there was a reply. When she turned the doorknob and was about to enter, she noticed a man's face who made her rooted on the spot. "It's you!" subconsciously, she cried out as her eyes widened. As the people in the room heard her voice, they directed their attention to her, especially the man who simply smiled at her bewildered look. "We meet again, miss Wang Mei." Yunzheng said his clothes were different from the white long sleeved ones that he wore in his confinement. This time, he wore a blue polo and long black pants, along with a red jacket. "No need to be alarm

"Knowledge?" furrowing, Yunzheng probed, "What do you mean?""Just like what I've said. But of course, I would give more than just one month of freedom. I will give you resources, clean your criminal record, payment, and more. "Hearing the conditions, Yunzheng became more concerned. "I want you to teach us the way to cultivate."His ominous feeling took form when those words fell. Subconsciously, Yunzheng's gaze became colder and there was even a trace of killing intent within. It wasn't known if Kim YoSoo noticed the change, however, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Do you know how I know this? Well, we have inspected your equipment, especially your pills, and I have to say, the effect is quite… extraordinary."Yunzheng snorted at those statements. The thief saw his products and wanted for more. If not for these shackles, perhaps he already rushed to kick the man's face. Still, Yunzheng wanted to humor the man's words and spoke sarcastically, "And why do you think I would

"We have met before." pointed Yunzheng as he raised his eyebrows, "Back then, you tried to help me with those thugs. Though it was unnecessary, I appreciate your help."Nodding her head, she said, "I don't know that you have power before, I apologize for being busybody." parting her bangs, she continued, "I'll get straight to the point, mister Tan. You are under arrest because of your involvement in destroying others properties, murder, and robbery.""It seems so." uttered Yunzheng without even trying to deny the accusation, "So, what now?""You can help us and we can help you. I propose a trade."His interest piqued, he said, "Go on…""We want information, mister Tan, and perhaps I could try to convince my superiors-""Convince?" frowning, Yunzheng shook his head, "If you cannot uphold something that you cannot give, then forget it.""But-""However, I will propose something else." looking at the girl, he spoke, "I would say anything you guys wanted in exchange for my and my companio
