“Whoa! There is a lot of information to take in. Well, I don’t have a special bloodline, and what is the class? It shows a cultivator. Does that mean it is a profession?”

“It also shows my cultivation, my martial spirit….. Hmm! It is indeed Blue Snake but thankfully it is a mutated one. But, what are STR and DEF? And, what are other stats?” Fu Chen was full of questions after seeing his own status.

He took a deep breath and asked “Ysla, can you explain those stats and that class as well?”

“Class is simply just like your profession. You don’t need to think too much about it. As for stats, well, the system has an introduction for the stats so it will be much easier for you that way. Let me show you.” Ysla spoke in his mind and a few panels appeared in front of him.

[STR- This stat represents the strength of a player. It is the explosive force that a player can generate through his brute force without using any mana. The higher this stat goes, the stronger player will get.]

[AGI- This stat represents the agility of a player. It counts on running speed, reaction speed, and thinking speed. It is independent of any skill hence it solely relies on the player’s physical capability.]

[DEF- This stat represents a defense of a player. It displays the player’s endurance, and capacity to withstand explosive attacks without taking any damage to himself. This stat is crucial for the player’s survival.]

[STM- This stat represents the stamina of a player. Unlike other states, this relies on the amount of energy that the player takes from the nutrition. Increasing this stat increases Player’s stamina allowing him to digest more food and also stay longer on the battlefield.]

[Magic- It represents affinity towards a certain magical element. This stat is only available to certain classes. Having this stat allows players to control elements with ease and even use powerful spells in order to cast powerful magic attacks.]

[MS- It represents Martial Spirit. This stat is only available due to the presence of Evolution Type Martial Spirit. As this stat increases, the Player’s Martial Spirit will evolve and gain several new abilities.]

[Luck- This stat is only available due to the presence of this system. Unlike other stats, this stat can change the Host’s future. Hence it is also the stat that will grow at the slowest pace.]

[Note- Additional Stats can’t be increased with Stat Points. They will only increase after each improvement in cultivation alongside Basic Stats.]

Reading these panels, Fu Chen took back his head and shook it frantically for a moment. Then he sighed and asked “Ysla, can you explain mana, magic, spells in the easier terms that I can understand.”

Hearing his words, Ysla sighed inside his mind. She didn’t come out instead continued from inside.

“Although you don’t need to think too much about these, I will try my best to make you understand. Mana is the Spiritual Qi of the game. Magic is the Cultivation Technique of the game. And finally, Spells are the Martial Arts of the game.”

“Unlike you, they gain mana by improving. They don’t use magic to absorb mana rather they use magic to condense mana into a certain element like fire, water, earth, wind, and wood.”

“This allows them to learn a specific elemental spell which now can turn their elemental mana into an attack, defense, or movement abilities. Imagine if there was a person who has turned his mana into the fire.”

“He can use a spell called ‘Fireball’ to condense the ball of fire and throw it at his enemies. Then, he can use a spell called ‘Tomb of Flames’ which can create the giant tomb made out of his fire and protect him from attacks.”

“Finally, he can use the spell called ‘Fire Wings’ to create wings in his back and fly. Just like your world’s martial arts, spells can do anything with certain elemental mana.”

“You can access magic because of your class but since this world doesn’t have mana, I don’t know how it will work. You need to figure this out on your own. And, maybe one day, you could possibly create a spell using your new magic.”

“These are something that you don’t need to think about now.”

Fu Chen doubted it for a moment. After all, there are so many things that this system brought him that he doesn’t know. So, he was curious about many things.

But still, he believed that Ysla wouldn’t hide something from him and even if she wanted to hide, there was nothing he could do.

“By the way, how can I look at the panel of a martial art like before?” Fu Chen asked as he suddenly remembered something.

“Just say the name of the martial art with ‘Open Martial Art Status’ or click on it,” Ysla replied.

Fu Chen nodded his head and said “Open Martial Art Status”

[Martial Art- Roaring Tiger Stance, and Storm Steps]

“Host, you need to say the name of the martial art,” Ysla spoke with a little bit of annoyance in her tone.

“Oh! Sorry. Open Storm Steps Status!” Finally, Fu Chen understood the command and spoke.

[Storm Steps- Entry Realm (Estimated Time- 7 Years)

“Just as I felt. Although I only comprehended the basic part, I also managed to comprehend the Entry Realm because of what I tried to copy before. You are right, Ysla. I can totally improve my martial arts just by watching others’ performances until they reached their own limits.” Fu Chen raised his fist with a smile and excitement on his face.

“Yes, Host! Previously, you weren’t able to copy the martial art because she was doing it too fast, especially the first process. So, as soon as you comprehend the method of this art, everything else just came running to you through the Golden Finger function. Ugh! That sounds gross.” Ysla explained. But when she said the name of the function, she felt gross for some reason.

“That’s great then! But, there is something else that’s been bothering me from this morning. How would you measure the talent of a person? I mean up until now I thought it is measured because of the rank of Martial Spirit.”

“But, how is that related to the comprehension of the martial arts and techniques? I don’t think I am a smart person but I am definitely not dumber than Zhu Tan. So, why was he able to understand it?” Fu Chen asked.

Hearing his question, Ysla stayed silent for a moment and then spoke “How about you ask this question to Miss Xue? I think she will help you understand it better. And, as you will also understand why it will take years to comprehend just some simple texts and style.”

Fu Chen found some unnatural tone in her voice but he didn’t question her anymore. Instead, he walked to the middle of the room and closed his eyes. He tried to feel the spiritual qi inside his dantian.

It slowly came out of his dantian. It was blue but with the silver luster that was making his spiritual qi so beautiful and unique. He didn’t comprehend the art and technique on his own, so he just let his body do its work.

The spiritual qi reached into his foot and for a second, his body instantly felt an immense force pulling him to the ground. He held on but soon he found his foot pressing against the ground.

Whoosh!

The next moment his body turned to light as he moved forwards. It was so fast that for a second he didn’t even know when he moved and ended up colliding on the ground.

Bang! Thud! Thud!

“Ouch! What happened?” Fu Chen quickly got off the ground and looked at his legs. He didn’t suffer any damage but he didn’t understand why he didn’t stop.

“Host, you didn’t practice this art on your own. So, everything you need to do for moving faster is controlled by the art itself but consequences after achieving that speed need to be borne by you.”

“In other words, your mind wasn’t ready to stop when it is needed. But, because you only used it once, it stopped automatically which made it harder for you to control your emotions.” Ysla explained.

Fu Chen thought for a while and nodded his head.

“Alright! There is nothing I can do about this. So, I will just keep on practicing. I have been beaten to death many times so these injuries aren’t that big of a deal.”a

Fu Chen returned back to his original position and closed his eyes.

‘Each step you take in the past will have an effect in the future. If I hadn’t learned to bear the pain before, this would be much more difficult but now, I can do it.’
