4 Chapter 3: Ice Elemental Chi (1/2)

It's been a little over a year ever since that day, Everyday since I could walk I find myself standing at this window for hours, as I love to see the leaves of the swamp tree falling down on green grass of my courtyard. The leaves of this tree have started to turn into yellowish red colour of summer as autumn season slowly approaches.

I can't get my eyes of this tree because of its vibrant colour scheme,which makes me think if you put more energy in your life, then you can feel spring in autumn too just like every tree does when it gives its whole stress to its leaves to get a bright colour of autumn which seems fascinating to my eyes. Too bad no matter how much I try to lift my spirit, it never seems to work as every time I close my eyes I'm reminded of my experiences just before my death, up to the point of losing my new mother. It has haunted me like a broken record from that very day, I see the mockery in Terry's eyes as he stares at me from a distance. Though I've grown numb to it, what really bothers me is the look my supposed mother had as she apologized in her dying breath. I feel like I had been the one who brought them the misfortune that had followed me from earth.

'Haaa' Sighing as I climb back onto my bed with my child-like legs. So many things happened later that day, the man I had found out to be my eldest Uncle and the Elders arrived in the evening despite the heavy atmosphere, claiming they had come to extend their condolences as they also wished to find if I had the aptitude to practice Martial arts. My present father was enraged but was calmed by my eldest uncle, when all that was settled an Elder in grey robes came to probe with his chi but it was Quickly absorbed by the system. Weirdly, this was interpreted as me not having any Chance to practice Martial arts. My Father seemed to Age by over a decade as he fell back to his sit deflated, attracting looks of pity from those around him.

After a few minutes, everyone silently left leaving only the two brothers in the Room.

At this time, I seemed to have fallen asleep even though I didn't want to. After which, father seems to apologise at every chance he gets.

”Yún er Father is useless” ,

”Yun er I'm sorry I've not found it”

” Father will definitely get it okay? ”

”Ah, Yun er I lost the Chance this time as well”.

Every time he goes out, he comes back apologising making me sad that I couldn't tell him to stop it.

Its been two months since he came to see me, at first I felt he was too busy so he couldn't show up but for over a week now, the number of people coming to take care of me has drastically reduced.

Only Yao Yao still comes here to take care of me while carry her daughter on her back. It didn't take long for me to understand as She would sometimes cry after staring at me for sometime in pity before leaving.

'Ah it happened again, Once again I've been made an orphan, Fate Must be toying with me!!!, But this time I won't let what happened before repeat itself. Power!Power! I must grasp it within the tips of my fingers and crush whatever stands in my way!, I shall trample on those who Try to trample upon me!.' He thought making his decision with a firm resolve as he clenched his teeth.

”!!!!” Shocked, Xu yún stopped his thoughts and concentrated on the information before him.

” System, please clarify something for me!, based on this terms and skills you have stated, can I come to the conclusion that cultivation, in fact this world is similar if not the same as the Game I was playing before my death? ”. He asked cautiously as though afraid to be disappointed.

-Affirmative

-Cultivation is the same besides the Extra permission allowing me to change soul energy into Experience, there by boosting your cultivation.

” so I can interpret it as me increasing my level by killing or do I get Experience just by someone dying next to me” After calming down a bit he began to understand something. ' am I inside the game? Or Perhaps the game was made by someone from this world? Then if I could go back to that world just for revenge... No it makes no sense, one step at a time'.

-You can only get Experience from those you kill or from the ones killed by those System had acknowledged as your teammate or subordinate.

”Makes sense, Ice Chi huh...that's a lot of Yin energy, System can you trace where the poison came from?” After getting an answer he immediately asked a question that had been bugging his mind.

-No , The time Frame has expired as it has been separated from its owner for over a week.

”I see... Then how do I convert it into Ice elemental Chi?”
