Questioning Life

"Century Egg, claim the mission experience."

Familiar with the process, Xiao Yu directly summoned the system to claim the reward for completing this mission. An Earth Tier spear technique Dou skill was exactly what he needed.

"Ding! Reward issued. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Earth Tier Dou skill—Cloud Crane Shadow."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 150 experience points."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining +10 Dou Qi."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gaining +10 Dou Qi."

Faced with the string of rewards, Xiao Yu immediately chose to absorb them.

After a month of hard cultivation, although there had been no system missions, Xiao Yu's body, enhanced by the system, was already exceptionally gifted. He had reached the middle stage of Eight-Star Dou Zhe, and now, with these mission rewards—

Xiao Yu's aura rose steadily, quickly reaching the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Zhe.

Just as Xiao Yu finished absorbing the rewards, the system's notification sounded again.

"Ding! The system has reached Level 5. The lottery section has upgraded to the Summoning Module. Reward: 100 Dou Qi."

"Reward: 1,000 Source Coins."

Xiao Yu had just wanted to ask what the Summoning Module was when he felt an enormous amount of Dou Qi appear within him, forcing him to continue absorbing it.

His strength, having just broken through to Nine-Star Dou Zhe, continued to rise.

Very quickly, he reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zhe, yet there was still a vast amount of Dou Qi that Xiao Yu had not digested.

Could I break through to Dou Shi in one go?

Xiao Yu could not help thinking.

At that thought, his heart grew heated.

Without further hesitation, he continued absorbing the excess Dou Qi within his body.

Xiao Yu's aura gradually broke past Nine-Star Dou Zhe and slowly approached the threshold of Dou Shi.

As Xiao Yu absorbed it, the Dou Qi within his body gradually weakened. Focusing inward, he carefully refined this stream of Dou Qi.

The Dou Qi Vortex spun at its limit.

After roughly half an hour, Xiao Yu finally finished digesting the Dou Qi in his body. His realm had also just reached the point of breaking through to Dou Shi.

"Ding

! Detected that the Host has reached the Dou Shi level. Reward: one soul tempering."

Xiao Yu had only just broken through to Dou Shi and had not even had time to do anything before the system suddenly filled him up once again.

"Fuck, System, aren't you feeding me a last meal before execution?"

Then he began enduring the system's merciless torment.

The soul tempering consisted of the soul power Medicine Elder had left behind. Whenever Xiao Yu broke through a major realm, the system would selectively use it to temper him with Medicine Elder's insights.

Having just broken through to Dou Shi, Xiao Yu had not even had time to comprehend the difference between Dou Shi and Dou Zhe before he was filled once more by the soul tempering granted by the system.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yu finally stumbled out of his cultivation state in a daze.

By then, his strength had already reached the terrifying level of Two-Star Dou Shi.

In less than a day, he had leaped from Eight-Star Dou Zhe to Two-Star Dou Shi. Even Xiao Yu himself could hardly believe it.

Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yu cautiously asked the system.

"System, I... I'm a Dou Shi now?"

System: ...

"Will jumping so many levels at once have any adverse effects?"

"Products of the system are guaranteed to be premium. Host, rest assured—there will be no issues with improving your cultivation."

Only after hearing the system's answer did Xiao Yu finally relax.

The greatest difference between Dou Shi and Dou Zhe was that a Dou Shi could release their Dou Qi Armor. Dou Qi Armor could enhance a certain aspect of one's abilities.

Xiao Yu circulated his Dou Qi, forming his own Dou Qi Armor around his body. Pale red Dou Qi covered his surface, gradually solidifying into a thin veil of pale red gauze.

It added several touches of heroic spirit to the already handsome Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu felt out his Dou Qi Armor and slowly threw a punch forward.

"Hm? Looks like this armor can enhance my attack power."

Feeling the difference after summoning the armor, Xiao Yu discovered that the attacks he unleashed had become noticeably stronger.

His fire-element cultivation had already made his attacks stronger, and now they had increased further. At this point, even a Four-Star Dou Zhe could not ignore Xiao Yu's attacks.

After carefully sensing the changes in his strength, Xiao Yu finally had time to inspect his current assets.

First was the Earth Tier Dou skill rewarded for completing the mission. Next, the system had risen to Level 5. The original lottery had become the Summoning Module.

The Summoning Module?

"System, what exactly is this newly unlocked Summoning Module?"

"The Summoning Module allows the Host to spend Source Coins to summon different items. The summons may yield realms, characters, skills, and more."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up at the system's answer.

I know this move!!!

"Then if I draw a Dou Di's skill, wouldn't I be able to dominate the entire Dou Qi Continent right away?"

System: ...

"What the Host draws depends on the Host's own level. If it exceeds the Host's realm by too much, there is a chance the Host's body will explode upon using it."

After hearing the system's explanation, Xiao Yu understood. It gave him a chance to draw cheat-like abilities, but it would not give him anything ridiculously overpowered.

"Then what are these Source Coins?"

"The Host can obtain Source Coins through future missions or exchange real-world heavenly treasures for them. Furthermore, the shop section and lottery section will both use Source Coins from now on."

"The exchange rate between Source Coins and the currency of the Dou Qi Continent is 1:1000."

Hearing the system's answer and that 1:1000 ratio, Xiao Yu hurriedly checked the changes to the system's sections.

First was the shop section. The items in the gold category all required hundreds of thousands of Source Coins—meaning they would cost several hundred million after conversion???

The purple, blue, and green items below had all dropped in price by a factor of ten.

In other words, if he wanted to buy the lowest-grade green item from the shop, he would need to spend several hundred Source Coins, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the Dou Qi Continent?

Then he looked at the Summoning Module.

It was divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.

At present, only the Yellow Rank and Xuan Tier were unlocked.

The Heaven Tier and Earth Tier sections were still gray and could not be used.

It seemed this was what the system meant by saying that if his level was not high enough, he could not afford it even if he wanted to buy it.

The prices in the summoning section corresponded to the gold through green categories in the shop. The lowest Yellow Rank summon required 100 Source Coins, while the highest Heaven Tier summon required 100,000 Source Coins.

Looking at the mere 1,000 Source Coins currently in his system, Xiao Yu could not help wondering whether this system was a crooked merchant.

One Source Coin was worth one thousand units of currency from the Dou Qi Continent. Wasn't this daylight robbery?!

Exiting the system interface, Xiao Yu stared blankly at the sky, questioning his life.

Meanwhile, the person standing atop the mountain was also questioning her life.

Standing on the mountaintop, she watched Xiao Yu rise step by step from Eight-Star Dou Zhe to Two-Star Dou Shi in just over two hours. Even with her knowledge and experience, she could not figure out why Xiao Yu had suddenly improved so dramatically.

Unable to figure it out, she softly left behind a sentence: "It seems you're even more mysterious than I imagined." Then she vanished in a flash.

She had stayed only to wait for Xiao Yu to awaken safely. Now that he had not only awakened but also gained a tremendous increase in cultivation, she naturally had no reason to remain.

Xiao Yu, meanwhile, was still agonizing over whether he should use the 1,000 Source Coins the system had rewarded him with.
