Chapter 2 - Grand Hatred System[1] (1/2)

On the school rooftop.

At the moment, it was ten o’clock in morning and all of the students were still in cla.s.s. The rooftop was empty of any human presence, so Xia Ping took advantage of being kicked out from cla.s.s and headed up there to find out more about this Grand Hatred System that had suddenly appeared.

“System, come out immediately,” Xia Ping ordered with a thought. “Didn’t you say that I’ve obtained Hatred Points. How many did I get?”

Just a moment ago, he had slightly displayed his insulting prowess from his previous life to test things out. The results were far better than expected. Almost instantaneously, he became the public enemy of the entire cla.s.s and even managed to infuriate a cla.s.smate into crying.

If this still didn’t work, then he would’ve just purely turned into a deplorable person for nothing.

“Master, this time you have obtained one hundred and twenty Hatred Points in total,” a cold systemic voice stated out in his head. “As this is the first time that the System has been activated, Master will receive a milestone reward from the System. Congratulations, Master, on acquiring the mysterious cultivation art, [Pure Yang Everlife Incantation].

“Mysterious cultivation art, [Pure Yang Everlife Incantation]? What is that?” Xia Ping blinked.

The System’s voice remained emotionless, “Please confirm acceptance or declination of the milestone reward.”

“Accept,” Xia Ping accepted instinctively.

Boooom!

In an instant, an enormous amount of information flowed like water into Xia Ping’s head. He felt as if his soul had been pulled into a virtual s.p.a.ce.

Inside this s.p.a.ce, a white figure sitting in the lotus position appeared. Lines and streaks of gold representing its meridians flashed on its body, clearly displaying the secrets of how the mysterious cultivation method was to be used.

“Seriously?! This [Pure Yang Everlife Incantation] is actually a top-tier martial arts cultivation method? H-how is this possible?” Xia Ping gawked at the sight before him with disbelief.

Even on Yanhuang Star where the martial arts thrived, top-tier cultivation methods were extremely rare. They could only be learned in those top martial arts families or the libraries of the best of universities. If ordinary people wanted to cultivate, they could only use the most basic of breathing cultivation methods given out by the Federation to absorb what little universal spirit energy they could with great difficulty.

The reason the difference was so great was because of the basic breathing method’s low efficiency at absorbing universal spirit energy. It was far inferior to that of a top-tier cultivation method’s efficiency. If the basic breathing method’s efficiency rate was one, then a top-tier cultivation method’s efficiency rate was one hundred, perhaps even a thousand. This difference was an absolute chasm.

If two people with similar talent cultivated these two different cultivation methods, then over time, the gap between them would become bigger and bigger. From this, it was possible to understand just how valuable a top-tier martial arts cultivation method was.

“Putting everything aside, is this cultivation method really true or is it a fake?” Xia Ping couldn’t help but doubt. After all based on this [Pure Yang Everlife Incantation]’s introduction, when he circulated this cultivation method, his body would become like the universe and devour the essence of the sun from the skies. Combining and a.s.similating this essence into his body, it would burn away his mortal form to create a new eternal and immortal body.

He was scared just thinking about it. The essence of the sun was an extremely horrifying thing. If an ordinary martial arts expert were to absorb even a little, then they would immediately turn into a fire ball and be burned to ashes, leaving no traces behind.

Even for those extremely powerful martial arts masters, they didn’t dare to casually come in contact with the essence of the sun. Yet this cultivation method started off by devouring the essence of the sun to strengthen oneself. Using “fierce” to describe it was an understatement.

If all this was true, then saying that it’s a top-tier cultivation method would be very apt.

While Xia Ping still had his doubts, his resolve remained firm. “This is an opportunity. Whether it’s true or not, I’ll find out once I try. If anything goes wrong, I can just immediately stop cultivating.”

Thinking things through, he sat down into the lotus position and followed the information given to him by the System, and started his cultivation.

Fwoos.h.!.+

Having received all of the information from the System beforehand, it was like Xia Ping had practiced this cultivation method thousands of times over, familiar with all its details. Almost instantly, he entered into a state of comprehension, as if his entire body had fused with nature itself, his mind pure and free.

As he cultivated, his body seemed to have turned into a black hole. Sun essence flowed down from the skies like little spheres of fire, all of it flooding into his pores to circulate throughout the pathways in his body.

If somebody else saw what Xia Ping looked like when he was cultivating, then they would’ve definitely been scared half to death. The reason being that the area within ten meters of Xia Ping had actually turned into a black hole. All of the sunlight near this zone would be completely absorbed by him.

Not just light, even the wind had stopped. It was as if time itself had halted in this s.p.a.ce.
