Strongest Master System

Strongest Master System

The moon hung like a silver disc, stars filling the sky.

In the back mountain of the Xiao Clan, a young figure walked through the woods.

"Damn scam of a system!"

Chen Qiye was extremely annoyed. He had originally been an Earthling, crazily obsessed with web novels. After staying awake for three days and three nights, he had finally successfully transmigrated.

Just three days ago, he had arrived in the world of Battle Through the Heavens!

But!

Chen Qiye's system had not activated. The condition for activating it was actually making Xiao Yan take him as his master!

Fortunately!

Chen Qiye had read thousands upon thousands of web novels. Even if he could not write them, he could certainly make them up!

As he was about to leave the woods and saw Xiao Yan lying by the cliff's edge with a blade of grass in his mouth, an old fox's smile appeared on Chen Qiye's face.

The Xiao Clan had just finished its test today. Xiao Yan's cultivation had already fallen back to the third stage of Dou Qi, and he was currently spacing out by the cliff.

A genius had fallen and suffered endless humiliation. This was precisely when Xiao Yan's heart was at its most vulnerable!

Chen Qiye clasped his hands behind his back and strode over, maintaining a calm expression.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan turned around and frowned slightly. "You're Chen Qiye, the one from the Imperial Capital? What are you doing here? Have you come to watch the joke too?" As the son of the Xiao Clan's patriarch, Xiao Yan naturally remembered all the Xiao Clan's guests.

Chen Qiye was the youth who had visited the Xiao Clan three days ago, claiming to be a wandering poet from the Imperial Capital.

Although the Xiao Clan members did not know what kind of profession a wandering poet was, they were impressed by his unruffled temperament and still gave him a warm reception.

Chen Qiye walked to Xiao Yan's side, clasped his hands behind his back, and stood proudly by the cliff. His gaze stretched into the distance as he looked upon the star-filled sky. "Don't misunderstand. I travel the world. How could my insight possibly compare to that of those shallow-minded people?"

"I heard that you were the Xiao Clan's genius, hailed as Wutan City's most gifted youth in a century... Yet over the past three years, your Dou Qi has not advanced but declined, and now you've even fallen to the third stage of Dou Qi?"

"Heh, genius..."

Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. "The word genius no longer belongs to me. Right now, I'm nothing but trash."

"Who said the word genius doesn't belong to you?"

Chen Qiye said calmly, "As long as your talent returns, it won't be difficult for someone with your aptitude to become a Dou Zhe again."

"Talent?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed self-mockingly. "It won't come back. I've already accepted that fact..."

Chen Qiye suddenly turned, his gaze falling on Xiao Yan. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"If I told you I had a way to solve your problem, would you believe me?"

"What!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled and reflexively stood up. He stared at Chen Qiye in disbelief. "Really?"

However!

Though he was only fifteen years old, as one of the transmigrators, Xiao Yan's mind was far more mature than those of his peers.

He quickly calmed down, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He looked at Chen Qiye with doubt in his eyes. "Even I don't know what happened to me. How could you possibly have a way to solve it? You don't seem to have any Dou Qi at all?"

"Dou Qi? Heh, if I had no strength, how could I have come from the Imperial Capital to the Xiao Clan? How could I travel the world? Young man, there are some things beyond your level of understanding."

Chen Qiye said inscrutably, "The reason your cultivation has declined instead of advanced is simply because the Dou Qi you absorb into your body disappears before it can be refined, correct?"

"You! How did you know?"

Xiao Yan's body trembled violently, his face filled with disbelief.

Only he himself knew about this. He had never mentioned it to anyone, not even his father, Xiao Zhan.

"It's nothing more than difficulty gathering Qi. To me, it's nothing."

Chen Qiye smiled calmly.

"D-Difficulty gathering Qi?"

Xiao Yan's face turned much paler. His eyes flickered uncertainly as he took a deep breath, then bowed slightly. "Mr. Chen, can you tell me how to solve this problem..."

Xiao Yan had always been intelligent. After hearing Chen Qiye's words, he suspected that Chen Qiye might truly have a solution and could not help asking.

"It isn't difficult, but..."

Chen Qiye paused, and Xiao Yan immediately grew nervous. "But what?"

"But my sect rules restrict me. If I am to teach you the solution, you must acknowledge me as your master..."

Chen Qiye looked at Xiao Yan.

"Acknowledge you as my master?"

Xiao Yan froze slightly, then smiled. "I thought it would be something difficult. As long as it can solve my problem of being unable to cultivate, then I'll become your disciple."

"Xiao Yan pays respects to Master!"

With that, Xiao Yan bent at the waist and bowed to Chen Qiye.

"Ding!"

"Notice: The host has completed the disciple recruitment task. The Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System is activating!"

"Notice: Binding the Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System..."

A voice suddenly appeared in Chen Qiye's mind, and he immediately grew excited. "Hahahaha! It finally worked!"

Xiao Yan was startled by the sudden laughter. "Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm merely happy to have accepted you as my disciple."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Qiye smiled. "Sit down and cultivate first. Let your master see exactly where your problem lies..."

Xiao Yan was startled by this, but did not think much of it. He immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

"Ding!"

"Notice: The Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System has finished binding. The host may inspect it through thought. If you have any questions, ask directly in your mind, and the system will automatically provide an answer."

Chen Qiye was incomparably excited. He eagerly entered the Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System and opened the character attributes page.

Host: Chen Qiye

Realm: None

Cultivation Method: None

Master Points: 1

Master Level: One Star

Current Plane: Battle Through the Heavens

Plane Disciple: Xiao Yan

...

Chen Qiye blinked. Damn it, he really was a person with nothing! Luckily, he had successfully activated the Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System. Otherwise, he would have had to live like an ant for the rest of his life!

"Ding!"

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for completing the first disciple recruitment task. You have received a Novice Master Gift Pack. Open it?"

"Extract!"

Chen Qiye was overjoyed and immediately opened the Master Gift Pack.

"Ding!"

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for obtaining the cultivation method Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms!"

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for obtaining a Beginner Experience Pill. After consumption, it can randomly grant 1–9999 upgrade experience points!"

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for unlocking the Beginner Shop."

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for unlocking the Plane Gate."

...

With each notification, Chen Qiye finally could not hold back his laughter.

"Hahaha!"

When Xiao Yan heard Chen Qiye laugh, his cultivation was interrupted, and excitement rose in his heart. Master is laughing so happily. Could he have found my problem?

"Master, have you found a solution?"

Xiao Yan asked anxiously.

Chen Qiye jolted and quickly gave a dry laugh. "That's right. Your problem lies with the ring!"

"The ring?" Xiao Yan was startled.

"Your talent has not disappeared. In truth, all the Dou Qi you absorbed into your body was absorbed by this ring."

"Absorbed by the ring?"

A look of alarm and suspicion appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He then shook his head resolutely. "Impossible. That's absolutely impossible. This ring was left to me by my mother. How could my mother possibly harm me?"

"Your mother naturally would not harm you. Unfortunately, she had not reached your master's level and did not know the mysteries within." Chen Qiye said inscrutably:

"Who would have thought that everything was fated... Don't worry, your mother will not harm you, and neither will your master. Take off the ring and cultivate now, and you'll know whether what I said is true or false."

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan said, "Master is right. My mother merely left the ring to me. Perhaps she did not even know about the ring herself."

Xiao Yan had endured three years of ridicule and would not give up even the slightest hope. Moreover, Chen Qiye's method was simple. He only needed to remove the ring and cultivate to know the result, and it would not waste much time.

Although he had acknowledged Chen Qiye as his master, the trust in his heart was still almost nonexistent.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan removed the ring, placed it on the grass beside him, and tried cultivating again.

With a thought, Chen Qiye entered the Myriad Realms' Strongest Master System once more.

The system had just been activated and had given him so many rewards. He was now impatient to study its functions.

Glancing at Xiao Yan, who had already entered a state of cultivation, Chen Qiye did not hesitate at all.

"Eat the Experience Pill first!"

With a thought from Chen Qiye, a pill emitting a faint fragrance appeared in his palm with a flip of his hand. The pill was crystal-clear throughout and only the size of a marble.

He swallowed the pill in one bite. The very next second, a system notification appeared...

"Ding!"

"Notice: Congratulations to host 'Chen Qiye' for obtaining 999 upgrade experience points. You have successfully broken through to a third-stage martial artist (third stage of Dou Qi)."

Huh?

Chen Qiye wore a stunned expression as he secretly thought, System, didn't you say 1–9999 experience points? Did you leave out a 9 in the notification?

"Ding!"

"Notice: The system does not make mistakes."

Fine!

Chen Qiye rolled his eyes and checked his attribute panel.

Host: Chen Qiye

Realm: Third-stage martial artist (third stage of Dou Qi)

Experience: 0/500

Cultivation Method: Not learned

Master Points: 1

Master Level: One Star

...

"System, what do third-stage martial artist and third stage of Dou Qi mean?"

Chen Qiye asked in his heart.

A new book sets sail. It has been signed. I humbly ask for bookmarks and recommendations. If you don't like it, please don't criticize. My thanks to you all.
