Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I could remember every single stance in the Blue Dragon Spear Art. Every single stance, and position were vividly described, and I could see through them. I raised the spear and held it firmly. I thrust it forward, one of the most basic moves of the spear. The tip wavered a little, moving to the side a little. That little movement led to the whole attack having halved its strength. This was an art that required a lot of practice.

As if the system was reading my mind, it pinged.

"Does User wish to use the skill assist feature?" the system asked.

"Of course! Why the hell did you not ask me this?" I agreed without hesitation.

All of a sudden, a silhouette appeared in front of me. It was like a body, except that it did not have a face or any defining features. It also had a spear in its hands, and the spear was exactly like mine.

"Can anyone else see this?" I asked, fearing that someone would see what I was.

"No one but the Host can see or hear the system, and anything that the system synthesizes, except for the weapons and pills from the system store." the system said, putting me to ease.

"So how do I use the skill assist feature?" I asked.

"Host must align with the silhouette at every single step. Host must make sure that all positions of the hands and the legs, as well as the rest of the body will be the exact same as the sample body. That way, you will be able to perform the Blue Dragon Spear art within a few days of practice." the system said.

"Interesting." I nodded and held the spear just like the silhouette in front of me did. I stepped forward, and aligned myself with it. I stood exactly where it did, standing the same way. I was the silhouette, for all intents and purposes, and even if I looked at myself, I would no longer see the silhouette.

The secondary body moved. It started performing the first step of the Blue Dragon Spear Art. It drew the spear forward, and thrust it forward. I followed the exact same steps, and deep inside my body, there was a rumble. The power that I was very acquainted to, the cultivation that I had gained after so many cycles of the Heaven Devouring Art was showing itself.

It coursed through my veins and lept into the spear. The tip of the spear shone, and it was like a little laser beam, ready to strike forward. But the skill did not stop here. The silhouette moved once more, performing the second step. The tip of the spear shone even brighter as more of this mysterious power accumulated at the tip. It was like every step of the art was made to accumulate this power, and discharge it in one powerful strike.

I completed the five moves that were in the art, and it felt invigorating. The spear felt much heavier than before, and the pitch black husk seemed to shine with a glow. It was like the power that I used seemed to upgrade the weapon's grade.

Ping!

"Skill Point obtained. Blue Dragon Spear Art Basic Proficiency confirmed. Congratulations for getting second skill. System awards you with random gift." the system chimed.

"A random gift? What does that entail? What will I get?" I asked.

"With User's level, possible rewards are pill to increase cultivation, stat increases, new skills, or weapons. Please draw your reward."

A huge gacha machine appeared in front of me. There was one red button that I obviously had to click on, and it would probably give me the reward. I shrugged and clicked on the red button. The balls within started rolling around, and one of them rolled out. I touched the ball, but I couldn't feel anything. Instead, it just burst into pixels.

"Congratulations! Host has acquired rare skill - Iron Body!" the system said. The huge machine faded away, and a book with the same name appeared in front of me.

"How much does this cost in the shop?" I asked.

"100 skill points." the system responded.

"A hundred points??! I hit the jackpot!" I shouted. Everyone in the training grounds looked at me all of a sudden. I smiled sheepishly and cowered my head. They looked away after shaking their head.

"Damn it. I need to control myself. I might get caught if I keep doing this. But damn though. This seems like an awesome skill. Even the Blue Dragon Spear Art, which was only three skill points, seems like it will do so much damage." I thought to myself.

I put the new skill aside. I needed to complete the other mission. I need to get stronger, damn it. How much more to level up?" I asked with a low voice.

"Host needs 2400 exp to level up." the system responded.

"2400? I can do this. Maybe if I do the daily missions consistently, I will level up in a week? And I should be able to get to level 8 or 9 by the time the competition arrives. This Liu Kun guy seems like a big shot here. As long as I get twice as strong as him, I should have a pretty good chance of winning." I made a note to myself as I started the heaven devouring art.

The sun was pretty high in the sky by the time I was done with the twenty cycles of the heaven devouring art.

Ping!

Host acquired 100 exp for completing daily mission 3.

Host acquired 300 exp for completing daily missions.

"Looks you are dropping the whole congratulations thing after all." I chuckled as I looked around. Almost everyone left the training grounds and went somewhere. Probably to eat, or into the city or something.

I also stopped everything and headed back to the courtyard. Looking at how everyone was shocked at seeing me come to the training grounds, my mother and father were probably going to be looking frantically for me. I failed to account for this when I came here in the morning.
