Ultimate Evolution System!

What a domineering system name, what an outrageous claim!

The Ultimate Evolution System actually dared to call itself ultimate. It must have something impressive to back it up.

"I like it, though." Chen Yumo's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.

Sure enough, heaven never blocked every road. So what if his Martial Soul was an Ice Silkworm? With Brother System around, the Ice Silkworm might not be unable to beat Tang San!

"Brother System, come on, show me!"

[Hello, Host. The Ultimate Evolution System is at your service. This system's purpose is to cultivate the Host's Martial Soul to its strongest state. As long as the Martial Soul is successfully evolved, the Host will receive generous system rewards based on the degree of Martial Soul Evolution, allowing the Host to become invincible under heaven.]

Oh~

So it was a Martial Soul Evolution System. No wonder the system had never responded no matter how many times he called for it before. It seemed he could only bind with it after awakening his Martial Soul.

Chen Yumo nodded thoughtfully.

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, I can only receive rewards after successfully evolving my Martial Soul?" Chen Yumo felt that he had spotted the key point.

[Yes, Host.]

The system's emotionless electronic voice rang in his mind.

"...What use are you, then?" Chen Yumo covered his face, on the verge of tears.

Come on, an Innate Level One Ice Silkworm! The difficulty of cultivation was maxed out from the start. Did this really mean he had to be like Huo, painstakingly cultivating until he was eleven before desperately trying to obtain his first system reward?

[There is starting capital, Host. That is, the Novice Gift Pack.]

The system suddenly added.

"Could you stop pausing so dramatically when you talk, my dear Brother System?" Chen Yumo immediately stopped crying and laughed through his tears. "Fine, deliver the reward I am entitled to this humble abode!"

[The Novice Gift Pack has been issued and is temporarily stored in the System Space. Host, please check it at your convenience.]

Brother System was quite cooperative when it came to indulging Chen Yumo's chuunibyou episodes.

At the same time, Chen Yumo sensed that he had established a connection with another space. It felt somewhat like how his Martial Soul had become an instinct after awakening.

Chen Yumo naturally sensed the space connected to him.

However, he was still outside, so it was inconvenient to inspect the Novice Gift Pack. After composing himself, Chen Yumo continued walking home at an unhurried pace, maintaining the appearance that nothing had happened.

Holy Soul Village was no ordinary little village.

Ever since transmigrating and being reborn, Chen Yumo had deliberately tried to make himself seem normal, thereby avoiding drawing Tang Hao's attention.

The perception of a Title Douluo could easily cover an entire village. Even though Tang Hao's old injuries had yet to heal, noticing any disturbance in the village would still be effortless for him.

Since the beginner village was Holy Soul Village, guarding against Tang Hao was a necessary step.

After returning home, Chen Yumo shut the door, sat on his bed, and released his Martial Soul. He put on the appearance of trying to meditate, while actually shifting his attention into the System Space and opening that glittering golden Novice Gift Pack.

"Wow~ A golden legend!" Chen Yumo instinctively dubbed himself as he opened the gift pack.

[Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and received the following rewards:]

[10*10*10 Portable Space*1]

[10,000 Gold Soul Coins, 10,000 Silver Soul Coins, and 10,000 Copper Soul Coins, helping the Host escape the awkward situation of having bare walls and nothing to his name.]

[One Four-in-One Encyclopedia of common Martial Souls, Spirit Beasts, metals, and herbs from Douluo Continent, helping the Host better find his own evolution path.]

[Refined Recurve Crossbow*1, equipped with Silent Arrows*30, sincerely protecting the Host's Life and safety.]

[Note: The Recurve Crossbow's penetrating power can break through the defenses of a strong attack-type Beast Martial Soul Soul Elder who is not using soul skills. However, in order to increase initial velocity and penetration, the arrows use only hollow refined iron for their trihedral arrowheads, while their shafts are made from the inner core of Century-old Lone Bamboo. Though light and fast, they inevitably possess the disadvantages of fragility and being easily broken. When encountering a target they cannot penetrate, the arrows may easily snap or ricochet, resulting in insufficient lethality. Host, please remember this and use with caution.]

The four system rewards provided Chen Yumo with help in four areas: travel, daily life, knowledge, and safety.

In particular, the rewards of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, ten thousand Silver Soul Coins, and ten thousand Copper Soul Coins directly resolved Chen Yumo's urgent needs.

The system's remark about him having bare walls and nothing to his name was no joke. Chen Yumo truly had nothing to his name.

With both parents dead early on, it would not be wrong to say he had grown up eating at everyone's table. Of them all, Old Jack had supported him the most.

At his age, he could neither farm nor hunt. At most, he could rely on a bit of cleverness to catch fish and shrimp or set a few traps, but those things could only serve as extra nutrition after filling his stomach. They were absolutely impossible to use as staple food.

It could be said that aside from not having a Tang Hao to care for like Tang San did, he was no different from Tang San in every other respect.

This money was extremely important to him now, and it would also affect his quality of life after going to Nuoding City.

As for the other three system rewards,

There was naturally no need to say much about the Portable Space. It was essential for traveling, killing, and looting. Aside from being unable to store living creatures, it possessed all kinds of functions, such as frozen time, food storage, and instant retrieval.

The Four-in-One Encyclopedia was also a good thing.

On Douluo Continent, knowledge was also extremely important. Although Chen Yumo had read the original work, the things recorded in it were ultimately limited and far inferior to systematic written materials.

With this encyclopedia, Chen Yumo could fill in the gaps in his knowledge and reasonably arrange his Spirit Rings and use medicinal herbs.

Then there was the final Recurve Crossbow...

Through the System Space, Chen Yumo gazed at that matte-black modern Recurve Crossbow, a trace of heat flashing in his eyes.

Before Chen Yumo's rebirth, crossbows had been regulated weapons. He had never had a chance to see one in person, and could only watch videos if he wanted to see them.

But he had watched videos of this sort before. Even if he had never handled one himself, he knew the various advantages of a crossbow.

First: powerful penetration. One bolt could break through a bear's defenses and pierce it through, with power that even exceeded a small-caliber pistol.

Second: easy to learn. Within a certain range, a crossbow bolt's flight trajectory barely dropped at all. It would not be an exaggeration to say it hit wherever one pointed, and he did not need to spend any time practicing.

Third: low requirements for use. This crossbow provided by the system came with a motor and automatically cocked itself. Even he could use it casually right now without worrying about being unable to draw the string.

As for the number of arrows...

Thirty was enough. This thing could be treated as disposable equipment. It would probably only be useful when hunting Spirit Beasts. Against Spirit Beasts below a thousand years old, as long as it hit a vital point, it could easily kill them.

As for Spirit Beasts above a thousand years old, even if this crossbow could not deal with them, he would probably have gained some strength by then and would not need it anymore.

More importantly, time was frozen in the System Space. Chen Yumo could keep the Recurve Crossbow cocked for long periods without worrying about damage, making it truly ready to use at any time.

Brother System had been right. The Novice Gift Pack really was starting capital!
