"Absorb." Mo Fang called out again, but the circle did not appear on the young man's body; instead, a system notification was sent to him.
[At the host current cultivation, "Absorb" cannot work on life bodies.]
'I guess a normal sword stabbing won't kill a cultivator that easily, but this dude is already dead; I saw him breathe his last just now when I stabbed him.' Mo Fang was furious that the young man had not died.
"How come you didn't die?" Mo Fang asked, disgusted, as he landed a kick on the young man's stomach, whose body flinched in pain, proving that what the system actually said was true.
"Hey, system, will the "Absorb" function still work if I sever the head?"
He did not remove the cow's head when he killed it. He asked the system because he was curious what would happen if he removed this man's head, and he didn't want to risk absorbing the blood of another 1-star cultivator.
[Absorb will ultimately work on it as long as the body is lifeless.]
"You, filthy brat, why are you attempting to murder me?" The young man asked in a low tone, and his words were spoken slowly enough that it took Mo Fang some time to understand what he was saying.
'Damn, why didn't I think a cultivator would heal his wounds with their stored internal energy?' In his mind, Mo Fang yelled angrily.
"Who told you to heal yourself when I'm trying to kill you, Motherfucker?"
The sound of bones breaking resounded as Mo Fang tossed the body with his leg, sending him crashing to a nearby tree.
He approached the lifeless body with a cold smirk on his face.
"Absorb."
The same circle that appeared earlier reappeared beneath the bodies of both the young man and the beast, and the same reddish smoke-like gas began approaching and permeating his skin.
His power was growing, he could feel it, and it was growing faster than he could have imagined.
He hadn't realized that the blood energy from the three-horned boar was also being absorbed by his body's pores, which was why he felt that the power entering his body at the moment was too much when compared to the first time.
[Blood energy from three horned boar has been completed absorbed]
[Blood energy from a 1-star cultivator has been completely absorbed]
[Tutorial Quest 2 completed]
[Reward - Breath technique][Breath technique - Absorbing earth]
[Transferring Breath technique "Absorbing earth" to host's head][Transfer complete][Since host has completed the last tutorial quest, The system will now accept host as its master.]
[Character interface window is now open to master]
[All modes of the system have been unlocked]
The technique that was transferred into his head caused a lot of pain, making his head ache, but when combined with the system notifications, it became even worse.
He almost fainted because his head hurt and he felt like it had been trampled on. It took him about three minutes to understand both the message and the technique.
"Oh, my character interface has arrived; could you please show it to me? what's that word again okay I've got it, Stats."
[Host - Mo Fang]
[Cultivation - Low stage, 1-star Realm] [Body - 1-star] [Bloodline - N/A]"Wonderful, you mentioned that I'm now your master after finishing the tutorial quest; what would have happened if I hadn't?"
[The quest will expire, and you will be given a quest that may result in death; in the worst-case scenario, your soul will be transported out of your body, and you will never be able to pass through the reincarnation cycle again.]
"Reincarnation? Do you know I've reincarnated?"
[Yes]
'If that's the case, I guess it's because the system didn't arrive on time, or my soul was incomplete without the system that I couldn't cultivate.' He pondered.
[Master guessed correctly, you reincarnated in a hurry, systems can't make it through the reincarnation themselves, so we had to rely on a soul, luckily a soul was reincarnated in this world, so I temporarily bound with that soul before coming to find you, master.]
"All right, from now on, you'll be known as Jian."
[Understood]
Mo Fang grinned.
"It's almost nighttime; I need to return to the Mo family before someone suspects that I killed this brat because the wound was clearly from a sword, not the three-horned boar."
His gaze was drawn to the pale body of the young man who had no blood on his body, only flesh and bone, his soul had even left his body, it must be wandering at the moment, probably enraged and filled with negative emotions for Mo Fang, but who cares? The dead should not be feared unless they have managed to become a spirit free of the reapers who live in the Netherlands.
The sun was lowering into the ocean of clouds, making way for the moon, which had been dormant while it reigned, to descend and rule over the sky.
Still in Sun ping forest.
Mo Fang has decided to return home so his parents, as well as key members of the clan, will not suspect him if they discover that the nameless young man has died inside the forest after sustaining injuries only caused by blades weapons.
However, before returning home, he decided to take the beast crystal from the three-horned boar's head.
Beast crystals can only be found in magical and demonic beasts, whether alive or dead. The only problem is that it's difficult to dig out the body of a living beast to collect it.
"I would have sold this to the family's inventory, but it will raise suspicions, so I'll just sell it to those merchants who deal in them; it might even fetch me enough money to buy a new sword, and these horns will be useful to blacksmiths as well." Mo Fang pondered.
He had to work hard to extract the almost metallic horn of the three-horned boar, but he was able to retrieve the red beast crystal with little difficulty.
'Unfortunately, I don't have a spatial ring with me; all I have is this brat's bag, which is useless because he only came to the forest with a spear and this bag.' Mo Fang grumbled angrily.
He slid the horn into the bag, but it remained the same size and shape, and the weight remained unchanged.
'It's a spatial bag.'
Spatial bags function similarly to spatial rings with a few exceptions: it does not require divine sense to see what's inside, the space is limited to the size of the bag, and neither the weight nor the size of the item stored inside can alter its appearance.
....It took him nearly an hour to walk out of the forest and another 20 minutes to find a place where beast crystals were bought and sold for credits. Most people bought the crystals to forge weapons, but others used the energy contained in them to cultivate.Mo Fang would have done the same, but he was 99.9% certain that the energies in it would have been depleted the moment he absorbed the blood energy.
Mo Shen entered the hall; he wasn't the only one there; there were more than 50 people in total, but fortunately, none of them belonged to the Mo family.
"What do you have to offer, Young Man?" When he saw Mo Fang approaching his stead, the vendor, a middle-aged man with a waist-length beard, asked him.
"I'd like to sell this beast crystal and horns from a 2-star three-horned boar." Mo Fang answered sincerely.
"How did you manage to kill a 2-star magical beast when you're just a low stage 1-star cultivator with a 1 star body?" The man was curious, so he inquired. It's quite unbelievable, even Mo Fang would not believe it if someone told him that a low stage 1-star could defeat a magical beast as powerful as a 2-star three-horned boar.
That is equivalent to claiming that a normal human being was able to defeat ten lions using only his hands. In the real world, guns and other forms of firepower are present, but in this world, only blades and sharpened pointed weapons exist.
"It took me several hours to bring it down, and I was lucky to survive after suffering several internal injuries and body wounds." He told a lie.
The man looked at Mo Fang, but he couldn't see any signs of injury or internal injuries, he decided to let go of the matter and focus on his business.
"Ok I'll have to check if it's really from a 2-star magical beast." He took them from Mo Fang and examined it.
"All right, it's 1000 bronze credits for each horn and 2000 bronze credits for the beast crystals, for a total of 5000 bronze credits; remember to sell more to me in the future." He smiled as he passed the bronze credit notes to Mo Fang, each one a 500 bronze credit note.
.... When Mo Fang finally arrived at Mo family, he met different groups of young cultivators practicing martial arts under the tutorage of their seniors.When they saw him, they began throwing different curse words.
"Hey yo, come check out the Mo family's number one loser who has yet to become a student of the Mo family's sect.""He is the cursed brat who lacks the trait of our Mo family; who knows if he was an animal who became a human through evil means."
"I heard that if he fails the upcoming sect entrance test next month, he will be kicked out of the Mo family; I can't wait to see that."
"Useless..."
"Loser..."
"Bad brat..."
As usual, he said nothing to them, but his heart was racing. Being weak is a curse, and not being loved is a disaster; it could turn a saint into a cold killer one day, and who knows? Mo Fang may become a cold killer one day because his hatred for humans has grown more than anyone else's.
'The test is in three weeks, and I know I'll be able to reach the peak of the 1-star realm if I absorb blood energies, so I'll definitely participate and pass all the tests with flying colors to shut their mouths.' He reflected to himself.
When he arrived at his house, he was met with disgusted looks from his uncaring father, who was sitting in the penthouse outside their house with a gourd of wine in his hands, his hair black and messy, implying that he was drunk.
Mo Fang did not bother greeting him; if he did, he would not respond, and it's not like he wants to greet he; if it was possible, he would have killed him.
"Arrogant brat, step outside now or I'll chop off your hands, so you've lost your senses and no longer recognize me as your father." Mo Zi, Mo Fang's father, yelled angrily and threw the gourd he was holding away spilling the wine on the ground.
'I don't think I can stay with these people any longer; if I want to improve my cultivation, I need to leave in a calm environment; the technique in my head appears interesting.' Mo Fang reflected after hearing Mo Zi's words, which enraged him to the core.
With a smile on his face, Mo Fang turned to face Mo Zi.
"Oh, you've noticed the need for greetings now, haven't you? But I'm sorry to burst your bubble; I just came here to get my belongings before leaving this stinky place to live on my own."
He scoffed and went inside to get some clothes and his untouched sword sheath.
Mo Zi was taken aback, he became enraged immediately and tried to attack Mo Fang but something powerful held his hands in the air stopping it from moving as he wanted to.
"Who the hell is T...hat, who are you?"
[Mo Fang character is in the comment section, please check it out.] It wasn't a hand or anything physical that was holding Mo Zi's hands in the air and preventing him from moving his hand. It's a dark energy that can only be used by cultivators who have dark magic elements. Of course, if one looks closely at the visible dark energy, they can tell it's for dark elements users. And only cultivators with at least a peak stage 2-star cultivation base can perform telekinesis; anyone with a lower cultivation base will be unable to perform such a feat.Mo Zi, who was at the peak of the 2-star realm, was struggling to free himself, demonstrating that the person doing it is not just a cultivator but a powerful one. Mo Zi turned his head to his hand, but what he saw was a dark energy halo; it was nighttime, but he could clearly see the dark energy because it was even darker than the night itself; the house's lighting mechanism also helped him see it closely. When he looked in the direction
Darren is a vampire who has seen far too many people die and has tasted every type of blood that exists in this world of cultivation except that of normal beasts. Although Mo Fang is confirmed as a vampire who does not have the trait of a true vampire, his prowess with blood proves it; in fact, his power increases more with blood than normal vampires. While a true vampire must control impurities in the blood, Mo Fang does not have to because the blood has already been evaporated into gaseous blood energy. ...Darren was even more surprised by his behavior after hearing what Mo Fang had to say, even after his mother died. It's understandable that most children dislike their father, but the mother was exceptional. Instead of crying or going outside to call for help, Mo Fang remained calm, not even raising his heart rate or widening his eyes; everything he did was typical of a 17-year-old boy. "Very well, I'll take you there; I'm also curious about how the other vampire genes absorb
The fact that he could get powerful through the use of blood was known to him except that intimacy was also one of his power growth factors, which was new to him. If one were to think deeply, intimacy is also somehow related to blood energy in many ways. For example, the Yin essence the other gender releases will be absorbed by him. 'No, I'm gon na stick to blood energy absorption as my only means of power growth for now. No one will want to do such a thing with a powerless person.' Shaking his head, he let go of the thought of needing to have intimacy for his power growth. In his previous life, he died as a virgin. It could be said that his eyes have never been tainted by the unseen because he had to work hard with only a little time to spare, and that time he spent then either thinking of other ways to get rich or reading webnovels. Fortunately, his system does not assign him a mission to woo ladies or cause trouble with those more powerful than himself; instead, he is the one wh
Mo Fang was confronted with these expressions, but he remained unfazed and concealed a cold smile. It was obvious to him that Darren had washed Mo Zi's memory. "Don't you know how to greet your elders and even your father when they're standing right in front of you?" Mo Ren, the elder who gave him this spot, said coldly. Mo Zi noticed something unusual about Mo Fang while Mo Ren was talking to him. "I'm sorry I didn't greet you, but that's only because you guys came to my house uninvited; I was planning to go out to the forest, but you guys are ruining my plan."Mo Fang replied with a smile that quickly turned into a frown when he noticed Mo Zi's gaze on his body. "How is this possible? How did you manage to reach high stage 1-star realm so quickly?" 'I almost forgot that someone with a higher realm can easily see the cultivation of someone who is one realm lower.' When his cultivation was revealed, Mo Fang couldn't help but sigh. 'Large stage?' Fang Yu yelled in her head, as di
Mo Zi was drinking a gourd of purified wine with lower alcoholic content a few hours before the unexpected arrival in Mo Fang's humble abode, pondering what happened that night that left him in a sorry state on the ground, but no matter how hard he thought, the only moment he could recall was the time he wanted to hit Mo Fang for spouting nonsense about leaving the house. Shen Yu had already informed him that she was going to another country to see her family, whom she had missed greatly, so he was unconcerned about her whereabouts.While Mo Zi was thinking about that night, a familiar figure entered, accompanied by an extremely handsome young man who was guarded by two other young men. Mo Zi recognized her right away as his son's alleged wife before the engagement was abruptly called off. Her name was Fang Yu, and he suspected the extremely handsome guy with her was her new fiancé. Of course, he had no right to say or do anything about it, but he couldn't deny that he, too, dislik
The disciples dispersed in groups after Mo Fang left Mo family, discussing only one thing: the bloodlust in Mo Fang's eyes was real, so real that he would have fought Clark to the death if given the chance. Most disciples whose power was lower than peak stage began to experience fear, the kind that causes shivering and sleepless nights. Only those disciples who had not erred against Mo Fang could breathe normally.Fang Yu felt inferiority rather than fear; her beauty was undeniably among the top three in sun ping, but Mo Fang didn't seem to care. At that moment, their gazes met, and while hers was aloof and proud, Mo Fang's was filled with bloodlust and hatred. Clark left thirty minutes after Mo Fang, Mo Ren, and Mo Zi went their separate ways. But Mo Zi and Fang Yu returned to Sun Shireen together, explaining what had happened and why Mo Fang couldn't join them."Hehe, he's being stubborn." Sun Shireen said only one word, but the hidden meaning was clear: Mo Fang's life is in gr
The lady has nice curves in the right places, and even though she was wearing a mask, one could tell she was very beautiful; however, why was she running in the dark as if someone was after her life? "Jian, give her a quick evaluation and tell me what her true cultivation is." Mo Fang instructed Jian quietly. Jian started the evaluation right away and sent the results to Mo Fang. [Low stage, 2-star realm] 'Low stage, 2-star realm, that's terrible, but why is she running around the forest like something is after her?' Her blood energy, on the other hand, will boost my credit.' His lips curved into a smile.It was nighttime, and the moon was visible in the sky, but it couldn't reach the forest floor due to the massive trees' leaves. The masked lady ran as if she were being pursued by something; from the looks of it, whatever she was looking for wasn't a beast, but rather a human. 'I see her, but she doesn't see me.' Mo Fang smiled in his heart and moved on with light steps to a ne
Her movements resembled those of someone who regained consciousness and then realized they had done something that could kill them. Her eyes blinked a thousand times before she could finally see the darkness, and her mind quickly recalled that face: the face of Sun Yang, whom she had been assigned to spy on. 'I'm sure Sun Yang knows more about psycho magic than I do.' Mo Fang was intrigued by the power that someone like Sun Yang possessed. "All right, you can put an end to her now." Sun Yang gave Mo Fang a friendly smile. A whirlwind of red energies encircled his body and rolled in an anticlockwise direction.Sun Yang was no longer there after the whirlwind vanished - he had vanished! Mo Fang sighed as Sun Yang vanished with the whirlwind; he would have loved to ask him a few questions about his technique, and perhaps the dude would even lend him his technique. 'I can't wait to use such techniques in my possession, if I'm to comment, that dude's power was insane and gave me the
