In a certain mountain range, a boy lay on the ground with clothes that looked like rags, his body smeared with blood, and a sword wound on his abdomen.
He slowly opened his eyes, "Ah…!" he groaned and quickly used his hand to cover the sword wound on his abdomen
After the pain subsided a little his eyes slowly gained a sense of clarity. He exhaled deeply and muttered to himself, "So... I've really been reincarnated." His voice carried both surprise and a faint melancholy.
His name was Qichen, a mere menial disciple of the Heavenly battle Sect, a sect known for its vast size and complicated hierarchy. At only twelve years old, he had lived a life of constant humiliation and struggle.
Just earlier that day, he had received his monthly ration of pills, the only glimmer of hope he had for breaking through to the Bone Strengthening realm.
On his way back to his quarters, he was ambushed by a group of outer disciples, individuals he had clashed with in the past.
They demanded his pills, but Qichen was unwilling to give up his only hope and decided to fight back. And was killed instead.
They ruthlessly shattered his dantian and dragged his body out of the sect's territory, tossing him into a remote area crawling with demonic beasts, hoping he'd be torn apart and eaten, leaving no trace behind.
"Sigh…" he let out another deep breath and clenched his fist. The feeling of having his dantian destroyed was like cutting his only hope of cultivation.
He tried getting back up but fell to his back. The blood that stopped flowing out from his abdomen rushed out as if it was free.
Aoooo!
A wolf's howl was echoed in the distance drawing closer .
Qichen's eyes panicked.
He struggled to get up clinging the nearby trees for support. After getting up, he started walking with staggering steps away from the howl, but the blood dripping on the ground was like a signal to the wolf.
Aooooo! The howl this time around was closer and he could hear the sounds of wolfs chasing after him.
He struggled to increase his speed but it was nothing compared to the wolf chasing after him.
Aoooooo!
Qichen panicked knowing he couldn't escape alive. He quickly took a stick with a sharp edge and got in a fighting stance.
A moment later three wolves appeared with blood red eyes and dark fur. They bared their teeth looking at Qichen and slowly encircle him.
"Stay back…!" Qichen yelled trying his best to stand still. He recognized them at a glance. These were the most common demonic beast in this mountain range called the blood-eyed wolf.
They had a resemblance to wolves.
One of the demonic beastscouldn't control its hunger and charged towards him.
Qichen staggered back with the tip of the stick facing the blood eyed wolf.
Crack!
The pointy stick didn't even penetrate its skin before it broke, but it still managed to deflect the blood eyed wolf.
Qichen quickly stood up holding the two halves of the stick and started swinging it as much as he could to intimidate the wolves
When Qichen wasn't looking one of the demonic beast leaped towards him and took a bite of his leg.
"Ah….!" Qichen yelled in pain, his right hand instinctively swung towards the demonic beast.
Crack! The stick broke in contact with the demonic beast's head, but it also forced it back.
"Ah…!" Another demonic beasts attacked, its fangs biting into his right shoulder and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Qichen fell to the ground, he tried using the other stick in his left hand to pierce the demonic beast's eyes but his left hand was bitten into by another demonic wolf.
The last demonic beast, which was a little bigger than the rest, walked slowly to Qichen. Its fangs bared and his eyes was emitting bloodthirsty light.
Qichen's wanted to struggle but was held down by the two demonic beasts. Blood kept pouring out of his body.
The last demonic beast opened its mouth and bite towards Qichen's throat.
"Am I going to die like this? I haven't even taken revenge yet." Qichen said unwillingly. His body kept trembling.
As the demonic wolf was about to bite into his throat, twelve coloured light bursts out from Qichen's body, causing the three demonic beasts to fly out and lose consciousness.
Qichen caught a glimpse of the 12 colored light before also Losing conciousness
His body slowly levitated up and the twelve coloured light washed over his body. The injuries all over his body healed as if they were never there.
His dantian which had been shattered, bones which were broken, healed and radiated 12 coloured light. Even his blood also radiated 12 coloured lights.
The whole mountain range fell into silence, even birds that usually chirp, couldn't be heard.
But even in that unconscious state, something incredible was happening.
The silence lasted for 10 hours and the 12 coloured light slowly disappeared into Qichen's body.
His eyes fingers twitched a little and he slowly opened his eyes.
"What happened?" He asked. "How could this be? My dantian has healed and I seem to have broken through the first level of Qi Condensation." Qichen asked with a shocked voice.
"And my Qi sea seem to be 12 colored. Isn't there only 10 different types of Qi sea, how can mine be 12 coloured?" Qichen asked with widened eyes.
Qi Condensation is also called the Qi Sea Realm.
Qichen's eyes narrowed. But wasn't a Qi Sea supposed to hold one color, maybe two? Then what was this twelve
Qichen slowly stood up, wanting to check his body more but before he could..
Aoooo!
The howl of the blood eyed wolf was heard drawing him back to reality.
The blood-eyed wolves slowly got up, they each looked at Qichen with fear. They couldn't forget the fore that came out of Qichen.
But the fear was quickly overridden by greed. Like the name blood eyed wolf sounds like, all they seek was blood.
Qichen wanted to take a step back but… "Wait a second… I've already broken through to Qi Condensation. Why should I fear beasts that haven't even formed a single core stripe?"
The three blood eyed wolf couldn't hold back their bloodthirsty nature and pounched at Qichen
Qichen didn't hold back and punched out.
Boom!
His fist hit the nearest blood eyed wolf and the blood eyed wolf burst into pool of blood.
The other blood eyed wolves didn't even budge. All they had in their eyes was to take blood.
Qichen reflexes was faster than they thought and they each received a Punch, turning them into a pool of blood.
Qichen looked at his hands which had blood over it and was surprised. The strength he showed shocked him. He was a like a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered but the situation turned around before he knew it.
"Bone strengthening, I was so close. But now I've leaped past it entirely"
"Master!" He was still being amazed by his own strength when a call rang out. He was startled and quickly got into a fighting position.
"Who's there?" Qichen shouted looking around his surroundings
"Master! Don't be alarmed. I am currently in your mind." the voice sounded again.
"Who are you!" Qichen calmed down a little but was still on high alert
"Master I am the myriad extraction system. Well… I used to be. Now I'm just an entity not bound by the rules of the universe but still has its previous functions, even to a greater extent than before." The voice said.
Qichen was stunned.
"You said you used to be system…?" Qichen asked. How could he not know about systems
"Yes Master. But now just an entity with my previous functions, even to a greater extent."The voice explained word for word.
Qichen now understands but his shock was greater.
"While I was going to get my next host, something took me and broke the rules bounding me to existance and forcebly bound me to you." The voice said again.
"Who could do such a thing?" Qiche asked
"I don't know." the voice said.
Qichen thought for a moment and decided to put it at the back of his head. "Alright then. What are your functions?"
"I currently have one function which you can use. You can only extract once a year."
"Once a year? Isn't that too far." Qichen asked a little discontent.
"Master, since this is your first time extracting, what you'll get would be overpowered. You would not be able to wield it fully yet."
"It would also be of great help to you in the future." The voice said trying to sound convincing as possible.
"Okay then." Qichen could only sigh. "Do I have a chance to check in now?"
"Yes master, you have one chance to check in now."
"What are we waiting for, check in" Qichen said hurriedly. He couldn't wait to see what will be extracted
