“Completing merger… 10%…..30%…50%…70%…90%…Ping! Merger is completed. Host has acquired new skill, Etherial Weapon Art. Suitable weapon for the skill is available in the shop.”

Ping!

“Congratulations on first use of the system ability, completion of incomplete skills. Host will be given reward.”

I looked at the screen that popped up in front of me with excitement. A roullete wheel appeared in front of me, and there was a giant red button that I had to click, as always. I put aside all inhibition and tapped the button with my index finger.

The wheel started moving. I looked at the rewards. There were quite a few choices. The one that I wanted least right now was a skill. I did not want to learn too many skills and dilute the proficiency that I did have. If possible, I wanted a weapon, or a pill that would help me increase my ability.

Plop. Plop. Plop.

The wheel landed on an item.

Ping!

“Congratulations! Host has gained new skill: Mind Eye!” the system said.

“Another skill? Damn it. And I thought that my luck was good. Fine then. What does the skill even do?” I asked.

“Mind Eye: Skill allows Host access to information about the people and items around him.” the system said.

“It is basically an appraisal skill? I can use that? I can actually become rich with something like this.” I nodded. The skill wasn’t that bad. It was an auxiliary skill and not another fighting skill that I had to spend so much time practicing. I was okay with this.

“Active? What does that mean?” I wondered out loud.

“It means that the skill shall always remain active. Whenever host looks at anything, the skill shall activate.” the system said.

“That is… irritating, isn’t it? What will I possibly do with that?” I thought as I continued walking. There were a few people approaching me. They were youngsters, like me. Probably part of the branches, because I did not recognize them from the gathering.

But when they got closer to me, something weird happened. Numbers appeared above each of their heads. A level, their name, and their cultivation.

“Lvl 5

Name – …

Cultivation – Qi Condensation 5th layer”

I was blown away. This was better than I expected. With this, I could estimate how much more powerful an opponent was. I could choose my battles.

They walked up to me and their faces were filled with wonder and a sense of devotion.

“Senior brother Liu Feng! It is an honor to meet you! The whole family is still wondering how you managed to put your power under wraps. It would be out honor to learn a few tips under you.” One of the kids asked me.

“Tips? Well, nothing much. Just practice hard, and you will get where you want to eventually. Don’t forget that. You need to practice hard. The future of the Liu Family is not dependent on me, but on people like you.” I just said some random words to please him and tried to escape the entrapment that the group created.

“Thank you so much for your kind words, Senior Brother. There is another thing that we wanted to ask you. The martial art that you performed. We could not find it anywhere in the clan’s inventory. Where can we find it?” he asked.

“The martial art that I used? You cannot find it in the clan. It was given to me by a benevolent senior, and I cannot share it without his permission. But one thing is for sure. You do not need to use the art to become powerful. If you practice hard enough, then you will get there eventually. Listen to your elders. That is the right way.” I said.

They kept asking questions, but the only answers that I gave were vague quotes and morals. They were only wasting their time with me, because I had no intention of divulging any of my secrets. I was not so giving. I was selfish for myself. I lived another life already and I knew that to survive, I had to take care of myself and those around me first. I did not need to care about the ones that I had no relation to.

Finally, they let me go after a while. The sky was already getting a little dark.

I giggled as I ran to the house. I had nothing else to do, except for practising the ethereal weapon art. That was the only thing I had to do until the martial gathering would commence, so that I could have a few weapons up my sleeve. The spear was a difficult weapon to use, and I could not rely on it for all matches.

I also had to learn the Blue Dragon Spear Art’s moves with my new spear, but I was confident that I could adapt quite quickly.

I went to the courtyard, and took out my spear in the opening. There was no one in the house. Everyone must have left, though I did not know why. I held my spear and swung it for a practise swing. The spear was balanced, and I could feel it was a better fit for me, just like the system said.

“Activate skill assist.” I said.

“Activating Skill assist. Which skill does the Host which to use skill assist for?” the system asked.

“Blue Dragon Spear Art, the fifth strike.”
