Cloud Raising Target: "Luo Feng"!

July 2056.

South Bank Residential District.

Luo Feng stared at a test tube that had appeared out of thin air before him, along with the information about it in his mind. The sudden turn of events left him somewhat dazed.

[Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid ×1]

[Effect: After drinking, use a cultivation method to absorb its energy. Once absorbed, it can advance Genetic Origin Energy cultivation and increase physical strength by approximately 5 kilograms without side effects!]

A voice appeared out of thin air in Luo Feng's mind.

"Hello, Luo Feng. This is a gift for our first meeting. I hope you can move as soon as possible and improve your family's living conditions."

"Who are you?" Luo Feng couldn't help asking.

The next moment, the voice simply said:

"You can think of me as a mysterious expert from far away. I'm carrying out a plan and will give you some treasures to help you grow."

"From now on, you can call me 'Yun' or 'Senior Yun'!"

"Yun? Senior Yun? Senior, is this thing real?" Luo Feng looked at the test tube. What had just happened had left him shaken.

Sending objects and transmitting voices across space.

It was all like something out of a xianxia novel. He had never heard of a martial artist on Earth being that terrifying!

Unfortunately...

The voice suddenly disappeared.

It gave Luo Feng no answer. Still full of doubts, he pondered what to do with the thing before him...

The martial artist assessment was on August 1.

Luo Feng longed to travel farther along the martial path.

If this thing was real...

An increase of approximately 5 kilograms of strength without side effects...

Then he would definitely drink it.

But...

Whether it was real or not, the information had all come from the mysterious, unfathomable "Senior Yun." Whether to trust him was a question.

Meanwhile.

Mingyue Residential Area, Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City.

Chen Yi withdrew his consciousness from Luo Feng's perspective.

[Today's daily Yun Raising routine has been completed.]

[Successfully communicated and interacted with Yun-raising target "Luo Feng." Daily mission—communication completed. Points +5.]

"That's five points in the bag."

"Tomorrow I can give Luo Feng something better."

"Hopefully Luo Feng can move as soon as possible and achieve his goal, so I can draw one of his talents."

Chen Yi was full of anticipation.

He had awakened the memories of his previous life last night and learned that he was living in the world of Swallowed Star in this life. Knowing the story of Swallowed Star, he naturally knew that danger lurked everywhere in this world.

In this world, the strong reigned supreme.

As long as one achieved something in cultivation, one could obtain absolute "freedom," truly free of all restraints.

Knowing this...

Anyone with dreams and ambitions...

Would surely yearn to make their mark on the martial path, see the magnificent myriad races of the universe, and stand at their peak.

Stand higher and see farther!

In this life, Chen Yi could be considered a martial arts genius.

His mother had already been an Advanced Warrior when she was pregnant with him, so his bloodline had a somewhat higher starting point than that of ordinary people on Earth. On top of that, he cultivated diligently.

At only eighteen, he was already a Quasi-Martial Artist. He had just fallen a little short of passing the last martial artist assessment.

With that background and aptitude, it would not be difficult for him to achieve modest success on the martial path in the future.

He was so young. If he worked harder and gave it his all, it was not impossible for him to enter the Elite Training Camp and become a War God!

"Unfortunately, Earth's 'geniuses' don't amount to much at all." Chen Yi had read Swallowed Star in his previous life, so he naturally understood that his current achievements were hardly worth praising.

The Manka Star People, for example, became Domain Lords upon reaching adulthood.

Golden Horned Beasts became World Lords upon reaching adulthood.

And over on the Origin Continent, one became a True God upon reaching adulthood!

How could he compare?

Fortunately, along with the awakening of his past-life memories...

He had also obtained a "golden finger."

A huge mirror in his mind.

Chen Yi preferred to call it:

[Cloud Raising System]!

He could bind a Yun-raising target and use points to create all kinds of items to feed and nurture them. As long as the target achieved a milestone goal in their heart...

Then...

Chen Yi could randomly draw and obtain one of the target's Innate Secret Techniques, rare treasures, cultivation aptitude, comprehension, and so on. Of course, the corresponding item or talent would not disappear from the person it was drawn from.

At first...

Chen Yi had obtained a "same-realm Yun-raising eligibility."

Different Yun-raising eligibilities had different selection restrictions. Since there was a same-realm Yun-raising eligibility, Chen Yi surmised that there might also be a cross-realm Yun-raising eligibility.

But he didn't have one now.

The same-realm Yun-raising eligibility required that, at the time of binding, the target's physical fitness could not differ too greatly from his own...

Therefore...

Chen Yi would certainly choose someone who offered a chance to draw better rewards. Naturally, he chose "Luo Feng," whose realm and level were about the same as his at this point in the timeline!

In terms of talent, on Earth...

Luo Feng possessed the undisputed number-one Spirit Reader Talent.

As long as he drew Luo Feng's Spirit Reader Talent, then... Chen Yi would have no need to worry about his future on Earth.

"The next problem is helping Luo Feng achieve his milestone goal as soon as possible. Only then can I get a chance to draw a reward sooner." Chen Yi was full of anticipation.

The mirror in his mind displayed the information:

[Yun-raising target]

[Name: Luo Feng]

[Bound Cloud Raising Points: 5.]

[Milestone goal: "Improve family living conditions"]

[Goal importance: ★★★☆☆]

[Drawable items: Spirit Reader Talent, willpower improvement talent, comprehension, Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid ×1...]

"Even the 'Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid' I just fed him is there?" Chen Yi needed only one look to confirm a fact.

When drawing items and treasures from a Yun-raising target, there was also a chance of drawing something he had created with Cloud Raising Points and fed to them.

That opened up a lot of possibilities...

But Chen Yi's target certainly wouldn't be a vial of Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid.

Luo Feng's willpower talent was good, but it wasn't very useful right now. As for comprehension... Luo Feng's comprehension had been tempered and improved bit by bit, so its value in the early stages was certainly inferior to his Spirit Reader Talent.

The Spirit Reader Talent could be two levels higher than physical fitness.

That "dark golden sphere" of Luo Feng's had directly helped him become an Invincible War God as a Spirit Reader!

That was an enormous advantage on Earth.

"The draw depends on probability."

"No matter what, I'll help Luo Feng move as soon as possible first."

Chen Yi began to ponder.

Even knowing Luo Feng's character, Chen Yi had no intention of telling him his identity. As time passed, the number of targets he could Yun-raise would only grow.

With an ability to obtain others' talents and treasures without limit, he would certainly become more terrifying the longer it went on. To make absolutely sure nothing went wrong, he had to keep a low profile while he developed. There was no need to tell anyone but himself.

The next day.

Chen Yi used the Cloud Raising System to enter Luo Feng's perspective and fed him again. This time, he spent the five points from the previous daily mission.

Cloud Raising Points could be used to nurture any Yun-raising target.

But...

He couldn't use them directly on himself.

Chen Yi could only feed treasures to his Yun-raising targets.

But he could choose what type of treasure to feed them. As long as he had enough points, almost anything was possible.

[Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid]

[Effect: After drinking, use a cultivation method to absorb its energy. Once absorbed, it can advance Genetic Origin Energy cultivation and increase physical strength by approximately 5 kilograms without side effects!]

The price was one point.

He now had five points for Yun-raising Luo Feng, so Chen Yi gave him five vials in one go...

On the new day, he completed the daily mission, [Communication and Interaction].

[Communication and Interaction].

The daily mission awarded a random two to ten points.

That day, Chen Yi again exchanged only a few words with Luo Feng, without explaining whether the items he gave him were real or fake.

If he tried to explain, it would just be like old Madam Wang selling melons and praising her own wares.

It would be hard to earn his trust that way.

Now that Luo Feng had the treasures, he would investigate their authenticity himself.

And that was indeed how things played out.

With six vials of Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid...

Luo Feng was even more curious. If each vial really could increase his strength by 5 kilograms, then six would mean thirty kilograms! Thirty kilograms without side effects-that was terrifying!

So...

Luo Feng went and bought some small animals.

He reduced the dosage and began conducting experiments himself... to verify whether the substance was genuine and effective.

On the third day.

Chen Yi completed the daily mission as usual and earned points.

On the fourth day.

After using up a little over one vial in his experiments, Luo Feng had thoroughly verified the effects of the Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid. He used nearly fourteen vials of Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid, increasing his strength by a full seventy kilograms or so! And there were no abnormalities whatsoever.

He found it utterly terrifying.

"This... this rate of improvement-is this cheating?" Luo Feng couldn't help saying. If the senior who called himself "Yun" kept feeding him like this every day, just how strong would he become?

Several days passed in succession.

Until...

Chen Yi saw Luo Feng follow his instructions and, as the original story unfolded, display his strength at the dojo, shocking Jiang Nian and Zhuge Tao... and sign a contract with the Dojo of Limits.

The next day.

Luo Feng's entire family moved into the Mingyue Residential Area, where Chen Yi lived.

[Your Yun-raising target "Luo Feng" has achieved the milestone goal "Improve family living conditions." You may now draw an item!]
