Beginning Cultivation

Boom!

As the thought was transmitted.

A violent tremor from the depths of his soul swept through his entire body.

Before Zhou Hao could react, a terrifying suction force surged over him, causing him to lose consciousness immediately.

He did not know how long he drifted through the darkness.

Until a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

Only then did he abruptly open his eyes.

Several nurses busy at work came into view.

Instinctively moving his limbs, Zhou Hao was stunned to discover that he had actually become a baby.

"So this is reincarnation!"

He sighed helplessly in his heart, yet his entire body relaxed.

Being a baby was fine. It was still better than staying in that terrifyingly dark World Beast nest.

"System, sign in quickly!" He had not forgotten that the system's energy was nearly depleted. After roughly figuring out his situation, he hurriedly shouted with his thoughts.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully signed in at Yian Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and obtained Surgical Mastery."

The system's voice immediately rang out in his mind.

"Whew, not bad. The system is still alive." Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sign-in reward was rather useless, as long as the system could still function, there would eventually be times when it gave generous rewards.

Very soon.

He focused his mind. Since he had undergone soul reincarnation, he could not bring items such as Chaos Origin Crystals with him. Only cultivation arts and secret techniques had been retained.

He immediately began examining them carefully.

The Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique was a powerful secret technique capable of concealing one's aura and vitality.

The Heaven Swallowing Chaos Art sounded incredibly impressive, but it was merely a cultivation art that could devour Chaos Qi to increase one's strength. Its requirements were extremely high.

The Soul Severing Technique could split one's soul into several portions. It was a divine-level soul secret technique, but its flaw was that the souls shared both prosperity and ruin.

Destruction Law Comprehension Talent was similar to an innate bloodline talent.

The Reincarnation Technique was an exceptionally powerful lifesaving trump card. In a crisis, it could preserve a trace of one's life imprint, deceive the heavens, and allow reincarnation. Its flaw was that it could not reincarnate an entire soul.

After reviewing all eighteen cultivation arts and secret techniques.

Zhou Hao's heart sank. So reincarnation did not mean he was completely safe. It merely meant he had gained another Clone.

In other words.

If his Original Body in the Dim Land of the Cosmic Sea was discovered by a World Beast, he would still die as well!

And most crucially.

The eighteen cultivation arts and secret techniques rewarded by the system were basically meant to save his Original Body's life. Most of them could not be used by this Clone's soul.

Only the Destruction Law Talent, Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique, Soul Severing Technique, and Reincarnation Technique could still be used.

But all four were support-type secret techniques.

The Destruction Law Talent in particular not only offered no help to Zhou Hao right now, but also posed a huge hidden danger.

He remembered clearly that the system's previous sign-in location had been Yian Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.

If he had guessed correctly.

He might still be in the world of Swallowed Star, and might even have reincarnated on Earth.

If so, the Destruction Law could not be used at all.

After all, this was the Original Universe!

"Alas, when it rains, it pours. I'll take it one step at a time!" Zhou Hao put aside his distracting thoughts. A wave of fatigue washed over him, and as a baby, he soon fell asleep.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three years went by.

Zhou Hao successfully became a three-year-old child.

He also confirmed completely that he had indeed reincarnated onto the Earth specially refined by King of Gods Zuo Shank Ke.

It was only that he had reincarnated in the year 2038.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully signed in at the standalone villa at No. 117, Mingyue Residential Area, and obtained ten thousand in cash."

Sitting on the balcony.

Zhou Hao listened to the voice in his mind and boredly rolled over.

Who knew whether this lousy sign-in system had been drained dry in the Dim Land, but over the past three years, it had given him nothing but trash rewards.

As a result, even now, he was still an ordinary child.

"I wonder how my Original Body is doing..." Zhou Hao sighed. The Soul Severing Technique had many flaws. This Clone's soul was too weak to communicate or merge consciousness with his Original Body at all.

However, this Clone had been fine for three years.

That meant his Original Body's situation was likely not bad.

"Xiao Hao, come downstairs quickly. Your sister is back!" His mother Wang Rong's voice had barely rang out.

Zhou Hao swiftly ran down to the hall.

"Big Sis, when are you taking me to the Limit Martial Hall?" Seeing the graceful figure on the living room sofa, he immediately pounced over.

As a three-year-old child, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.

Being stuck at home every day, with sign-in rewards that barely changed, had left him thoroughly depressed.

Zhou Ying'er caught Zhou Hao in her arms and lovingly showered his tender little face with kisses.

"Big Sis, answer me already!" Zhou Hao rolled his eyes irritably. His sister Zhou Ying'er could score ninety-five points in both figure and looks, but in Zhou Hao's eyes, she was no different from any other ordinary girl.

Still, their family's ability to live in Mingyue Residential Area.

Was entirely thanks to Zhou Ying'er.

She was gifted and intelligent, becoming a martial artist at the age of twenty and receiving an invitation from the Limit Martial Hall.

"I'll take you tomorrow." Zhou Ying'er pinched Zhou Hao's cheek.

"Good, you said it. If you break your promise tomorrow, I guarantee I'll pee on your bed!" After saying that, Zhou Hao flipped over and scurried away.

Zhou Ying'er was speechless.

Her little brother looked quite adorable, but his words were far too improper.

Wang Rong came over carrying a plate of sliced apples, placed it on the coffee table, and smiled gently. "Ying'er, your brother really wants to visit the Limit Martial Hall. You rarely come home, so fulfill this little wish of his."

Zhou Ying'er nodded. "All right. I'll probably be staying for quite a while this time."

Wang Rong asked in surprise, "What is it? You don't need to go back for training anymore?"

A trace of gloom appeared in Zhou Ying'er's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

"Not for now. The instructor said I need to train in the Wilderness Zone for a while."

"The Wilderness Zone?" Wang Rong's expression tightened.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll join a very strong squad. Nothing will happen." Zhou Ying'er hurriedly reassured her.

Wang Rong sighed, looking at her daughter with heartache. "There's not much the family can do to help you. When you're out there, you have to take care of yourself. Don't push yourself too hard."

"Mm, I'll take good care of myself."

Zhou Hao hid around the corner of the living room, listening to his mother and sister talk as his little face creased into a frown.

His sister had become a martial artist at twenty, which made her a genius. After entering the Huaxia Base training program of the Limit Martial Hall, she should have trained for at least three or four years, yet she had returned in less than two.

And she seemingly had no intention of going back.

Something had probably happened.

"I wonder what it is. Forget it, I can't help right now anyway. I should just go around and sign in wherever I can!" Shaking his little head, he quickly returned to his room.

The next day.

Zhou Ying'er did not break her promise.

Early in the morning, she brought Zhou Hao to the Limitless Gym within Mingyue Residential Area.

Unlike the branch Limit Martial Halls in other districts, only martial artists and assessment candidates could enter the Limitless Gym.

Without someone bringing him in, three-year-old Zhou Hao could not enter at all.

And at this time, the master of the Limitless Gym was not yet Wu Tong.

"Little Sister Ying'er, you're back?"

"Ying'er is back!"

"Ying'er..."

Quite a few martial artists who were training greeted Zhou Ying'er upon seeing her graceful figure.

Zhou Ying'er responded to each of them.

"Xiao Hao, don't run around. I'm going to chat with some friends first," Zhou Ying'er instructed.

"Big Sis, don't worry about me." Zhou Hao's voice was tender and childish, but his movements were swift. In the blink of an eye, he had run more than ten meters away.

Zhou Ying'er was not worried. Everyone here was a martial artist, and her little brother was quite clever.

Zhou Hao circled along the edge of the gym and walked near a burly man.

He stopped.

He impatiently shouted in his heart, "System, sign in!"

This was his first time at the Limitless Gym.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully signed in at the Limitless Gym and obtained the Gene Energy Cultivation Method!"

"Ding! Congratulations... obtained the Force Guidance Technique!"

"Ding! Congratulations... obtained the Mental Master Talent!"

Voices quickly rang out in his mind.

Three times in a row.

Zhou Hao grew excited. "It hasn't been easy, System. After three years, you've finally become generous!"

Without hesitation.

He hurriedly claimed the system rewards.

The Gene Energy Cultivation Method was the Five Hearts Toward the Heavens technique. The Force Guidance Technique was a secret technique that increased the efficiency of absorbing genetic energy, while the Mental Master Talent was far more formidable.

Boom.

After claiming it.

Zhou Hao immediately felt a Golden Orb appear within his mind.

"Solidified Mental Power? As expected of the system. It's still pretty reliable." He knew very well that the stronger one's Mental Master Talent, the more solidified the Mental Power in one's sea of consciousness became.
