Level Up in Martial World

Lu Zhen's consciousness slowly made its way to his brain in a snail's manner.

He had noticed one thing while trying to initiate the demonic cultivation technique: he needed to be more careful with his consciousness rather than speed, and if he could find a special balance between both speed and carefulness, it was even better for him.

The consciousness finally reached his brain, and Lu Zhen immediately tapped into his mental energy. Slowly but surely, the reason he had failed so many times previously was that tapping into his mental energy was a very hard thing to do, even when Lu Zhen fully focused on it. So, with his consciousness separated into two, its difficulty at least increased by a hundred times or even more.

Finally, after slowly but steadily trying to tap into his mental energy, he finally tapped into a single strand of mental energy that surged through his body.

Lu Zhen's eyes seemed to light up from his almost dull facial expression as the one strand of mental energy was slowly guided to the greenish cloth of blood..

Boom!

The moment the greenish blood met with the mental energy, it was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded. Lu Zhen's body was filled with power that coursed through him, and his Volgrith form's height increased at a rapid pace, going from 12 feet (365 cm) to at least a few feet taller.

His veins popped in his body, making him fully covered by them, almost like armour. Wings protruded from his back slowly, his horns became sharper and stronger, reaching a terrifying level, and even his thin tail with a heart at the end seemed to increase a little.

However, Lu Zhen wasn't fully aware of the changes in his body as he was in a state of bliss from the power coursing through him. Nevertheless, Lu Zhen quickly adapted to it.

He smirked as a familiar panel appeared in front of him again, eliciting his excitement.

[Ding]

[Quest]

[Mission: Cultivate the demonic cultivation technique to its initiation level]

[Difficulty: Medium]

[Reward: Mutation of Wood Qi]

[Quest completed]

[Calculation the rewards]

[1%....2%....60%....100%]

[Reward Granted]

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen saw the panel flicker before another three panels appeared in front of him, which made him frown.

[Sun Qi]

[Medium Grade] (cannot be advanced)

[Harvest the power of the sun to cultivate Sun Qi, allowing the martial artist to have a burning effect upon contact. It can strengthen the physique to have the Great Sun physique. Grants certain resistance against the sun and has a certain increase in power under the sun.]

Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he saw the first advancement path of his Wood Qi to his left, but his confusion grew.

"System, isn't my Wood Qi completely contradictory to this Sun Qi? Why is it on the advancement path?"

[Host, from the data collected, the Wood Qi complements the Sun Qi.]

Lu Zhen just stood there for a moment as his thoughts swirled in his mind.

"I guess it doesn't follow common understanding…" In the end, Lu Zhen sighed as he looked at the panel.

[Plant Qi]

[Medium Grade] (can be advanced)

[Almost all the benefits that Wood Qi gives and even greater, as well as the power to interact with plants and utilise them. Gain an affinity with plants, making all of them have a good impression of you and can manipulate them.]

Lu Zhen nodded his head when he saw this, as at least this made a little sense. He looked to his right.

[Earth Qi]

[High Grade] (cannot be advanced)

[Earth Qi is one of the heaviest Qi which strengthens martial artist defences to a high level. Gains the ability to manipulate the Earth.]

Lu Zhen carefully read the description as he closed his eyes, his mind swirling with thoughts as he tried to connect the dots, contemplating all the benefits. In the end, he chose the middle panel.

The moment he imagined pressing the middle panel, all three panels flickered before disappearing from his vision.

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen frowned as he sensed a strange transformation occurring in his body. All the condensed Wood Qi in his body was slowly moving toward his brain, guided by an unknown force.

[Advancing]

[1%.....]

Lu Zhen saw the loading screen again. "I guess I will have to wait, then."

In the meantime, he finally noticed his body transformation.

His height had increased again, and a small wing, almost like a bat's, protruded from his back while his muscles became more condensed. However, his expression turned strange when he sensed the increase in his tails.

"This is really…" Lu Zhen controlled his tails, and they moved almost like he was controlling his hands, effortlessly manoeuvring them as if he was born with them.

He could roll his tail and even touch his face with it, reaching his own face with the tail. Luckily, he didn't feel any strange sensations from the tail, indicating that he wouldn't experience any discomfort from it and wasn't connected to any of his five senses.

However, ignoring his tail, he flapped his wings that had protruded out of his back. The wings slowly revealed themselves in full glory, almost resembling bat wings attached to him although they were big, however in his hulking body it looked rather small.

The sound of Lu Zhen's wings cutting through the air reverberated as the wings moved back and forth, generating a wind current in the process.

To Lu Zhen's excitement, the wings started flapping faster and faster as he willed it. Although his control over his wings wasn't like an extension of his own body parts, he could still mostly control them.

"Can I fly?" he thought curiously as he started to flap his wings even more, slowly ascending from the ground.

Although his body was quite heavy, Lu Zhen could subtly control his body to make himself lighter—a benefit of the divine physique from the many benefits he has from his overpowered physique this was one of it too.
