Chapter -3.
Dong...
"Uh... its scales are tougher than I thought." Hao Yu had been fighting with the cute snake for a full two minutes, but apart from a few random bad hits, he couldn't do much damage to the snake because its scales were so rough.
‘It seems that this little guy is really a monster in the physical enhancement realm.’
Thinking of this, a new wave energy suddenly emerged in Hao Yu's body, and his seemingly stupid random attacks began to increase rapidly.
Dong.. Dong..
The sound of swords hitting hard metal began to echo nearby; and Hao Yu too finally managed to land a hit on the snake's lower body, when the snake pounced on Hao Yu again, as it began to get a little annoyed at Hao Yu's pointless attack.
With a wound inflicted on its body, the cute snake began to hiss even more crazily giving Hao Yu chills over his body; and making him consider using the card, system has given him, ‘No! If I got afraid of this cute looking thing; then how would I face those hideous looking things when they’ll come my way?’
After being injured by a weak human, the snake was furious and was ready to pounce on Hao Yu again at a faster speed than before.
Hao Yu had made up his mind. This time he was ready to meet the snake’s attack head on instead of rolling on the ground like a donkey to avoid it; “Come on, I’m going to string you up.”
Well, these third category skills are also unavoidable for the time being, because he has neither combat experience nor experience in killing cockroaches, so what else can he do except using the tricks that are imbued in his instincts.
Hiss~
The snake hissed and pounced on Hao Yu. In an instant, it turned into a flying state. Hao Yu was ready and knew what to do. He rolled forward shamelessly and swung his sword vigorously.
Because snake scales were relatively hard, he wasn't strong enough for the sword to pierce those scales, so the only thing he could do was use tactics of .
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for killing the physical enhancement stage 1 monster. ]
[Rewards is being distributed > Reward has been stored in system storage]
[Ding... Your experience points have reached the conditions for upgrading your external cultivation. Do you want to upgrade? ]
[Yes/No]
Hao Yu was looking at the cute little snake with its head severed off when he suddenly heard a bunch of notification sounds and turned his gaze to the system's translucent screen.
"Rewards or something? I don't care, but Uncle System, I sure want to improve my external skills." Hao Yu immediately clicked "Yes".
After fighting with the snake, Hao Yu learned a lot of new things about himself, such as not knowing how to swing weapons, and not having a perfect instinct to dodge attacks.
He really lacked in many aspects, so how could he not consider improving his cultivation level
As another ding sound rang in his mind, Hao Yu suddenly felt his body begin to heat up, and his muscles began to reshape, becoming more firm and powerful.
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for reaching the first level of one-star external cultivation and obtaining the Mortal rank sword Technique> Do you want to learn it? ]
[Yes/No]
Sure enough, Hao Yu didn't wait for a second and clicked ’yes’ : "Uncle System, you finally showing that you care about me"
Although the new power surged in his body, it felt like the clear air without any impurities in this world. He felt that if another cute little snake appeared, he could easily deal with it. But at the same time, after fighting with that cute snake, he knew that he could not achieve anything with strength alone, and without any suitable swordsmanship or any skills, it would be a distant thing for him to win.
With the clicked "yes", a bunch of three-dimensional images of old men swinging swords entered Hao Yu's sea of consciousness. He could clearly see each swing of the sword, but at the same time he could only comprehend a little bit, "Sure enough, my talent is only 1.5."
Speaking of this, Hao Yu couldn't help laughing and tried the first move of the sword technique, called "Fēng Ten stroke technique.”
The first move of this sword technique is extremely domineering, like a waterfall falling on the spot. The sword raised high quickly falls to the ground, seeming to cut through the air and making a sharp sound.
"What! So strong."
Hao Yu was stunned for a moment. He just imitated the first move of the sword technique, but the power was too great.
Hao Yu felt that he had become too powerful in an instant, but when he saw the system screen showing swordsmanship in the learned skill section, he once again realized that he had taken this new power too seriously.
Skill :-
1. Fēng Ten stroke sword technique [Novice]
Just a novice? what bullshit, I thought I’d become proficient in an instant.
"Why do I feel that the system uncle is the protagonist here, and I am just a supporting role who is humiliated by him every time I get carried away?"
Hao Yu shooed away the translucent screen in annoyance and turned to look at the cute snake carcass, "Dear System Uncle, can this thing be sold for money?"
Hao Yu was very satisfied with becoming stronger. But for him, becoming stronger alone didn't seem to fill his stomach unless he started to earn some real money that belonged to this world.
And since this snake had begun to cultivate and turned into a monster, its corpse would definitely be useful to the people of the Alchemy Hall, or something like that.
But at the same time, he was not sure if such a transaction existed in the world.
What if the Alchemy Hall did not buy the carcass, wouldn't he look like a barbarian walking around with his dead prey hanging on his back?
'No! That would be too embarrassing for my poor soul.' But at this time, the system uncle brought good news.
[Ding... Dear host, after the host reaches the second star of external cultivation, the store can be unlocked, and all monster corpses can be sold at a reasonable price. Please work hard to unlock the store system in the future. ]
[Note: The host can temporarily store all monster corpses in the system warehouse]
Ignoring everything else, Hao Yu focused on the news that was beneficial for him, ”So all I have to do is reach the second star of external cultivation huh? and more importantly i can even store the carcasses of the monster i have hunted, isn’t this the sweetest thing?”
[Ding.. A new mission has been assigned > Reach the first stage of second star external cultivation (Time limit : 1 month) ]
Reward : Indestructible Iron body Technique [Rank -Earth] [System Store - Unlock]
Hao Yu put the cute snake corpse into the system warehouse and looked at the new prompt in front of him. "Another mission? Well, there is at least a one-month time limit."
Anyway, looking at this prompt, Hao Yu also understood another thing, which is very similar to several novels he has read, such as the level of skills or abilities, "So the lowest should be the mortal level, then this earth level, what is the highest?"
Reaching the second star of external cultivation? How much experience points are needed to achieve it?
Thinking of this, Hao Yu opened the status screen and began to leave the scene, walking deep into the White Mist Forest to hunt a few weak monsters before planning to head back to Baiyu city.
Name: Hao Yu [Exp: 0/200]
Talent: 1.5 [Nothing without the system]
External cultivation: 1 level of first star cultivation
Internal cultivation: Locked [Note: Need to meet certain requirements]
Constitution: Diving Yang Body [Status: Extremely Weak]
Skill :-
1. Fēng ten stroke sword technique [Novice]
"Ah? The required experience points have doubled. Does that mean I need nearly 50,000 experience points to reach the second star of external cultivation? That's too much."
Hao Yu was shocked when he calculated the required experience points. Moreover, external cultivation can only be improved through experience points. It seems that he has to be busy to obtain these experience points.
More importantly, he didn't even know if the time limit was enough for him to complete the mission.
Hao Yu sighed, closed the status screen, and drew his sword. Hearing some footsteps, he then muttered, "There's only one way to find out, and that's to hunt these damn monsters and see how much experience points they will provide."
