The Sign-In System and Experience Cards

The weekly sign-in came once every seven days and awarded a weekly chest and an Experience Card. The Experience Card was also a choice of one out of ten: one third-tier card, one second-tier card, and eight first-tier cards.

The monthly sign-in came once every thirty days, and the rewards were much the same: a monthly chest and an Experience Card, chosen from ten. There was one card each of the second, third, and fourth tiers, and seven first-tier cards.

The yearly, ten-year, and hundred-year sign-ins that followed were much the same. The hundred-year sign-in's ten Experience Cards consisted of one each from the second through seventh tiers, plus four first-tier cards.

That was also why the hundred-year sign-in was the highest available in this world. A thousand-year sign-in would mean he could draw an eighth-tier card, which would require at least a Great Thousand World.

The chests from daily sign-ins could contain first- or second-tier items and Experience Cards. Every ten chests opened at once guaranteed a critical hit and a second-tier item.

A critical hit on a weekly chest could yield a second- or third-tier item.

A critical hit on a monthly chest guaranteed an item from the third to fourth tier; a yearly chest guaranteed an item from the third to fifth tier; a ten-year chest yielded an item from the fourth to sixth tier; and a hundred-year chest yielded an item from the fifth to seventh tier.

Opening ten chests at once guaranteed a critical hit.

Furthermore, the cards were face up for every first sign-in. When choosing one of ten Experience Cards, he could see which were first-tier and which was second-tier.

Thirty-seven days had passed since his awakening. The cards for his first daily, weekly, and monthly sign-ins had all been face up, and Chen Mo had obtained a second-tier card, a third-tier card, and a fourth-tier card as he had wished.

Chen Mo currently had one fourth-tier card, one third-tier card, and six second-tier cards. The remaining thirty-odd cards were all first-tier Experience Cards. He also had two second-tier items and several first-tier items; the second-tier items were the Imitation Lü Huang Sword and the Soft Hedgehog Inner Armor.

However, he could store at most fifty-four Experience Cards, the same number as the playing cards.

In fact, without his playing card Martial Soul, Chen Mo could not have kept his Experience Cards for more than a day. Once twenty-four hours passed, an Experience Card would be used automatically.

Chen Mo's playing cards had an innate sealing attribute, and each card could seal one Experience Card.

Moreover, the playing cards could seal more than just Experience Cards. They could seal anything.

In theory, as long as Chen Mo was strong enough, he could seal an entire world with a single playing card.

Chen Mo had also experimented with sealing objects and living creatures in his playing cards, but with his current level-three Soul Power, he could barely seal three ants before being drained dry.

Inanimate objects were better, though sealing something about the size of his palm would still leave him exhausted.

However, if Chen Mo used his playing cards to seal other things, the number of Experience Cards he could store would decrease accordingly.

In short, Chen Mo could seal a total of fifty-four things. Whether he sealed Experience Cards or something else was entirely up to him.

Every playing card had the ability to seal. In addition, the two jokers had another ability: duplication. They could duplicate anything he had ever sealed.

But only once each. Once used, the jokers' innate skills would disappear.

That meant he could have two more trump cards. Naturally, Chen Mo intended to maximize the benefit; he would not even consider using them on anything below the seventh tier.

The playing cards had an innate sealing attribute, and the two jokers had god-tier duplication, while the card box had an innate spatial attribute and the ability to conceal heavenly secrets.

At present, the card box gave Chen Mo 3 × 54 units of space, with each unit equal to one cubic meter. Every time Chen Mo gained a level, the space would increase by 54 units, corresponding exactly to the 54 playing cards.

The ability to conceal heavenly secrets had already shown itself when Chen Mo awakened his Martial Soul, for his Martial Soul came from part of the system.

The system!

Even if it was only a part, it was still ten thousand times stronger than a so-called god-tier Martial Soul. Besides, never mind god-tier Martial Souls-even the awakening of a top-tier Martial Soul could produce an extraordinary phenomenon.

Yet when Chen Mo awakened, there had been no extraordinary phenomenon at all. That was all thanks to the card box's innate ability: it concealed heavenly secrets, and the divine treasure hid its own brilliance.

Otherwise, the whole Douluo World would have known about the phenomenon when Chen Mo awakened.

With the ability to conceal heavenly secrets, as long as Chen Mo did not want them to, no one could see his cultivation, not even the gods of this world.

Chen Mo had also noticed a pattern. The items found in the daily sign-in chests came in all sorts of varieties, from the myriad worlds across the heavens. Things from every world could appear.

The Lü Huang Sword and the Soft Hedgehog Armor had both come from chests.

But eight or nine out of ten Experience Cards he drew each day came from the Douluo Continent. Of the more than forty Experience Cards Chen Mo currently had, only four came from other worlds: one third-tier card, one second-tier card, and two first-tier cards.

At present, this third-tier card was also Chen Mo's greatest trump card, stronger even than the fourth-tier Experience Card.

That was because the third-tier card came from an immortal cultivation world.

Third-tier Experience Card: Wang Ruofeng. Realm: Golden Core Perfection. Ancient sword cultivator.

Life: Wang Ruofeng was born into a minor immortal cultivation family. An extraordinary phenomenon accompanied his birth; he was born with sword bones and an innate sword physique. At five, he was found to have a mutated spiritual root: a Sword Spiritual Root. Daoist Changming, a Late Nascent Soul great cultivator and grand elder of the Sword Pavilion, took him as a personal disciple. He began Qi Refining at five, reached Foundation Establishment at twelve, and formed his Golden Core at thirty. But at thirty-seven, he was ambushed while traveling down the mountain to gain experience, and he could never break through the Golden Core Stage for the rest of his life.

At fifty-seven, with Mid Golden Core cultivation, he slew an Early Nascent Soul great demon in the Cangming Mountain Range.

...

At two hundred and thirty-two, with Golden Core Perfection cultivation, he slew a Late Nascent Soul evil flood dragon guilty of countless evil deeds in the Canglan Sea. For a time, humans and demons alike sighed over him.

...

At three hundred and twelve, he slew a Spirit Transformation Stage demon emperor-the Black Snake Demon Emperor-on the battlefield between humans and demons. Afterward, his oil ran out and his lamp went dry, and his primordial spirit was destroyed. He died at the age of three hundred and twelve.

This was a third-tier Experience Card from an immortal cultivation world. The Douluo Continent could not compare.

Immortal cultivators belonged to a system that ranked among the very best, even across the myriad worlds of the heavens. As for Soul Masters, well, they were the sewer of fantasy. Better not to mention them.

A third-tier cultivator from an immortal cultivation world-an ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator-could already easily kill a fourth-tier expert of the Douluo World, a Titled Douluo. Let alone a monster like Wang Ruofeng.

An Innate Sword Physique and ancient sword cultivation-either one alone was extraordinary, yet he had both. If he had not been ambushed in his early years, he would not have been stopped at the third-tier Golden Core Stage. Even if he had remained in the lower realm instead of going to the upper realm, his cultivation should have reached the fourth-tier Spirit Transformation Stage at the very least.

Still, he really was fierce: a Golden Core cultivator slaying a Soul Transformation expert.

He had slain a powerful enemy two major realms above him. This was the cultivation world! Anyone who reached the fourth tier, whether Soul Transformation or Nascent Soul, was a legend. Who among them did not have a few tricks up their sleeve?

Even if they lost, killing them was still difficult beyond measure. Besides, there were no weaklings in the cultivation world; that was common knowledge across the myriad worlds of the heavens. Even escaping unscathed from a higher-tier immortal cultivator was enough to make one a genius, ahead of more than ninety percent of one's peers.

To sum it up in one word: awesome!

With this card, Chen Mo dared to fight even a god king of the Divine Realm.

If Chen Mo had not been so short on trump cards at the moment, he would have wanted to use this Experience Card right then.

It was not that Chen Mo wanted to show off. Rather, using an Experience Card granted him all the abilities and combat experience of the person he experienced, including their memories. As long as he copied down the cultivation methods from those memories during that time, he could use this third-tier card to learn immortal cultivation methods from the cultivation world.

Chen Mo had only discovered this after using several useless first-tier cards. An Experience Card let him experience not just abilities, but memories as well.

One thing Chen Mo was dissatisfied with, however, was that the system's lowest rating was first tier. Anything below second tier counted as first tier.

Soul Masters counted as first tier, and so did ordinary people. Even insects and ants counted as first tier, and the same went for items.

That was why Chen Mo had drawn quite a lot of trash from the system.

But it was precisely because he had used those largely useless Experience Cards that Chen Mo had discovered this.

Everything in an Experience Card's memories was real. As long as he wrote down what he remembered and kept applying that knowledge, his body could accumulate a little muscle memory too.

So, wasn't immortal cultivation wonderful?

Now that he could cultivate immortality, why the hell would Chen Mo still be a Soul Master?

Trash Soul Masters-even a dog would shake its head at them.

Before, he had no choice. Now, Chen Mo wanted to cultivate immortality.

Still, Chen Mo ultimately held back. He had too few trump cards for now, and using this one here would be something of a waste.

Besides, this third-tier Experience Card was only strong in combat, not broad in knowledge. It would be awkward if the cultivation methods it offered all turned out to be poorly suited to him.

He was not really in a hurry, either. He only had level-three Soul Power now, and reaching level ten would take at least half a year.

In half a year, he would have at least five or six monthly sign-ins and more than twenty weekly sign-ins. He might well draw a more suitable Experience Card.

If he really reached level ten without drawing a suitable cultivation system, he would have no choice but to use this trump card then.

Chen Mo did not want putting on a Soul Ring to interfere with his grand plan to cultivate immortality.

For now, Chen Mo had stopped cultivating under the Soul Master system. He had stopped meditating and devoted himself to other things.

Even so, Chen Mo felt that he would reach level four in a few days.

That was because, after an Experience Card's effects ended, it always left some trace on him.

For example, a Soul Master and a Soul Elder would surely absorb different amounts of Soul Power passively through their bodies at the same time and place.

That was the case with Chen Mo. Without an Experience Card, he had only level-three Soul Power, but after he used a first-tier Experience Card and reached the Soul Master level, the energy around his body rushed into him, increasing his body's sensitivity to Soul Power to some extent.

When the Experience Card's effects ended, his realm fell and the Soul Power in his body rapidly drained away. But no matter how much drained away, it could not possibly disappear completely. Thus, after using an Experience Card, Chen Mo's Soul Power could increase considerably, and the rate at which he passively absorbed Soul Power afterward could also increase a little.

However, this only worked with Experience Cards from the Soul Master system. Cards from other systems would not do.

Perhaps that was also why eight or nine out of ten cards he drew each time were Experience Cards from the Soul Master system.
