Chapter 10: Host, Your Pretending System Is Online!:
After sending those people away, Hua Qiandi sank into deep thought.
His top priority now was to increase his strength. There were two ways to achieve this: he could continue practicing the Great Dream Heart Technique, or he could create something through the system.
The Great Dream Heart Technique suited him perfectly. By practicing it, he would reach the third realm in one night and advance to the fourth realm in just a few days.
Progressing step by step would be sufficient. However, what occupied his thoughts now was creating a system to strip others of their strength, talent, and more.
But who should this system be for?
Even though Hua Qiandi appeared to be in Heaven and Human Realm, his actual strength had already reached the Divine Realm. He wasn’t sure if he had attained the Divine Realm, but he knew he was close.
To further enhance his power through the system, he needed people whose systems would surpass his, people with talents greater than his own.
Three individuals stood before him. Their strength was impressive, and their talent even more so.
“How could peerless talents like Holy Son candidates not get a system?” Hua Qiandi smiled to himself. “With this much luck, I can create a more advanced system… But who should receive it first?”
In the following days, Hua Qiandi kept his plans secret and continued his practice.
His cultivation method was unique—he cultivated in his dreams.
In simple terms, he could practice while sleeping. Consequently, every maid around him fell under his charm, becoming entirely his.
Though he sought tranquility, rumors began to spread.
He refused visits from prominent disciples, staying in his own yard all day, spending time with four maids.
People began to whisper, wondering if this behavior would ruin his position as the Holy Son candidate.
Some sighed in secret, believing that if this continued, he would become useless. Others despised him, thinking him nothing more than a wild saint from the outside world.
In the depths of a great mountain, upon hearing about Hua Qiandi’s situation, the other Holy Son candidate, Xue Wuhen, asked, “Is this truly the case? Could it be just a smokescreen that man has set?”
“We confirmed it with Ye Shan. It’s true, and even more exaggerated than the rumors.” An old man replied respectfully.
Xue Wuhen shook his head. “It seems I overestimated him! Obsessed with beauty, unaware of how to cultivate or build alliances—such a person is nothing to fear. You may go now.”
“Yes, Young Master!” The old man retreated.
Xue Wuhen closed his eyes, deep in thought. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! The Pretending System is online! Would the host like to bind and become the system’s sole owner?]
“Who is it? Show yourself!” Xue Wuhen’s eyes snapped open, his gaze sharp as swords.
He shouted, releasing his divine sense across thousands of miles, but found nothing.
“Whoever is playing tricks on me, come out now!” he demanded again. But still, nothing.
“Could it be that this person has already reached the Slashing Dao Realm, allowing them to hide their presence from my eyes and spiritual sense? What is their intention?” Xue Wuhen narrowed his eyes.
Though he was only a long-lived powerhouse, as a contemporary genius with exceptional talent and impressive physique, even a Taoist realm master shouldn’t be able to escape his eye.
This indicated that the intruder must have reached the Slashing Dao realm, possessing strength on par with an elder.
But this was the territory of the Heavenly Demonic Sect—who would dare act so recklessly?
He clutched a jade talisman, prepared to teleport away if the situation turned dire. Just then, the voice echoed in his mind again.
[Ding! The Pretending System is not a person, but a divine artifact created by a supreme being, designed to cultivate the strongest! Complete the system’s pretending missions, and you’ll receive various rewards, continually growing stronger until you transcend and become a saint—an immortal existence in the heavens and earth!]
The offer was tempting, but Xue Wuhen remained skeptical.
How could such a thing exist in this world?
It even promised immortality, something not even the legendary supreme beings could achieve.
The Pretending System then transmitted a manual directly into Xue Wuhen’s mind.
After reading it, he was stunned, his expression a mix of surprise and shock.
Could such a thing truly exist?
Was it possible that binding with this system could lead him to become an immortal existence, one that transcends masters, saints, supreme beings, and everything else?
[Ding! Will you bind and become the system’s sole host? The countdown begins now. If you do not decide within 10 seconds, the system will leave you and search for another host! 10, 9, 8…]
Xue Wuhen grew anxious.
He was naturally suspicious and wouldn’t act without thoroughly investigating something first. But this situation left him no time for doubt. Missing this chance could mean a lifetime of regret.
At the last second, he shouted, “Bind! Bind with me now!”
[Ding! Binding successful! You are now the system’s sole host!]
Xue Wuhen exhaled in relief.
Despite lingering doubts about the system, he decided to worry about them later. If something felt off, he could always seek help from the elders to remove the system from his mind.
“System, I have a question,” Xue Wuhen asked.
[Ding! Please ask, Host!]
Xue Wuhen hesitated, then asked, “What does it mean to pretend? How do I pretend?”
The system paused, then explained “pretending” in simple terms.
It meant making others believe you were incredibly powerful and remarkable, earning their admiration, respect, and even making them bow down to you. In short, it was about making the world revolve around you.
“So that’s what pretending is. Seems pretty straightforward!” Xue Wuhen said confidently.
[Ding! The host has just installed an ‘invisible’ force in front of the Pretending System, earning a special reward: a luxury upgrade package!]
[Your cultivation level has increased! Speed +10%! Strength +10%!]
[You’ve received a super magic weapon: the Unparalleled Sword!]
[You’ve obtained a sixth-level Nirvana Pill!]
…
Seeing these rewards, Xue Wuhen was overjoyed.
