First conversion
After destroying 3 walls in a row with a single punch, Ron and Felix was shocked.
After all, just a moment ago Felix was just a weak beggar, but it seems like he became a martial artist?
The people inside the building that was exposed was shocked, their ears was still ringing from the explosive sound, and they fainted on the spot.
Before they can clear their thoughts on the new situation, a guard from that building sprinted to the source of explosive sound.
"By carrying such an explosive weapon, you are ought to be sentenced to death!"
The guard said, but too scared to make a move because he thought that the two beggars might still have those explosive weapons.
Felix regretted on what he had done, he accidentally injured 3 people with his unexpected strength. Who knows if the people on the adjacent rooms are also injured?
He was even lucky because the only parts of the building he damaged are the bathrooms, not the place where people are sleeping, luckily, no one was was killed, and they only fainted on the spot.
"We are sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
Felix said while slowly raising his arms.
Ron followed up by also raising his arms up in the air, indicating that they are both going to surrender.
Seeing that both of these two people have no weapons on them, he equipped his bow attached to his back and nocked an arrow while pointing at two of them.
"Turn your backs!" The guard shouted out loud, trying to coerce them.
The two immediately followed while their hands are still above their heads, revealing their dirty and tattered robes.
'They are probably just street beggars, but how did they get their hands on such a high quality explosive weapon?' The guard thought. It is better if I just paralyze them now and interrogate them later.
The guard then imbued a trace of mana on his bow and then released it.
Before that, Felix received an information in his mind.
[MINOR THREAT DETECTED THAT CAN BE WITHSTOOD BY THE BODY!]
Whoosh
The arrow traveled fast, and strangely, Felix can feel it pointing towards his back. But he did not move, and only flexed his back muscles.
Clang
The arrow sounded, and the guard was shocked because he knew the arrow definitely hit the skin of Felix, he even targeted the biggest tattered hole on Felix's back, where he can clearly see the skin being exposed!
"Impossible… such a strong body!" The guard said in shock and fear.
Did he just offended a level 9 mana gathering cultivator?
Only a cultivator of level 9 mana gathering realm can withstand such a strong and sudden attack!
"This lowly mortal apologizes!" The guard got on his knees and kowtowed immediately, while Felix and Ron are still facing backwards.
What if these cultivators are actually in a secret mission, and disguising themselves as a beggar? And he just sabotaged their mission?
Level 9 mana gathering realm! Even in the entire city, there are only 8 of them, only 2 on each of the four family!
Hopefully not! That's why he immediately apologized, hoping to make some ammends!
Felix heard this and turned towards the kowtowing guard and just kept the situation flowing.
"This master has been exposed thanks to you! You are lucky that we had already completed our mission and just came here in this alley change our clothings." Felix said, pretending to be furious.
'I hope he will believe those nonsense.' Ron thought, amazed at his brother's acting skill.
Ron thought that they will be immediately killed because of the damage that they have done, and he almost peed on his stinky robe when they are coerced to turn their backs.
He thought it was their end!
But he still didn't forget about the new found strength that his brother exhibited. When he heard the clanging sound from his brother's back, he immediately sighed a breath of relief because he knew that his brother just survived that attack. He looked at his brother that didn't even show an emotion when got hit by the arrow.
"I apologize!" The guard said, while banging his head on the muddy ground for every syllables.
The guard kept repeating this action until the two of them finally made their way out when Felix carried Ron on his back and jumped to the roof of the building.
The guard didn't even see them jumped away as the guard closed it's eyes whilst banging its head.
When the guard noticed that he is the only one left on the alley next to the broken wall, he said,
"As expected of a level 9 mana gathering cultivator, I can't even hear their footsteps."
As a level 1 mana gathering cultivator, he is not even qualified to see a level 4 cultivator which is 16 times stronger than him!
Every time you level up in the mana gathering realm, you gain 2 times more physical body strength than the previous one, a level 9 mana gathering realm expert is 512 times stronger than him!
Not only that, even their abilities exponentiate for each realms broken…
Such difference made him like a bug in front of a giant when facing the 9th level.
…
On the building's rooftop, Felix and Ron are stargazing.
Just looking at the stars, thinking of what to do next.
"So you are saying that you gained a treasure?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, at that time, when the old man gave me the treasure, I didn't know it was a treasure." Felix said in response.
"You're lying, I know," Ron said.
They are sworn brothers, they know about each other, when one says something, they knew immediately if it a lie or a fact.
Ron continued, "But if you are not ok with me knowing that secret, it's okay."
What a keen perception…
Felix thought and then said, "That's right, but don't worry, I promise that from now on that our lives will be definitely better."
Ron nodded, but didn't say anything.
"I have a power to convert some things to better things, but I haven't tried it yet." Felix gave Ron some hint.
Ron raised his eye brow and looked at felix, thinking to himself, 'What a powerful treasure'
Not only can it give you a core, it can even make you break through several realms at once, now you are saying that there is another monstrous ability from your new power?
Added to the fact that he saw Felix being healed immediately and changing his physique in the blink of an eye, which shocked him greatly.
"I wanna try it now, let's start with my tattered robes."
These robes are just one of the things they found that someone threw away.
[AFFIRMATIVE. CONVERSION DONE.]
The system instantly responded in his mind, it is neither image, text, or voice. It's just pure information entering his mind.
Then Felix saw that Ron is looking at him with its mouth hanging.
Following Ron's gaze, he looked at his robe and saw that it's like glowing intermittently, then suddenly stopped.
In his mind, he saw his robe on a space, where the theme or background of the virtual space looks like a bunch of symbols that he had never seen.
[THE HOST CAN CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH THE ROBE.
IF THE HOST INCREASED THE LEVEL OF THE SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE, THEN YOU THE HOST CAN UNLOCK THE STORE AND ADD THINGS TO THE DIGITAL ITEMS IN THE VIRTUAL SPACE.
ONLY THINGS THAT YOU OWN CAN BE INSERTED HERE.
JUST NOTE THAT YOU CAN'T ADD NEW APPENDAGES TO THE DIGITAL ITEMS IF THAT THING THAT YOU WILL BE USING AS AN APPENDAGE IS NOT CURRENTLY FOUND IN THE DIGITAL SPACE.]
'Levels, Huh? Levels of system, very similar to what I've read.' He thought.
'Let's worry about those later and focus on the main thing first. Hmmm. I want to remove those dust and those noticable holes'
[TO DO THAT, THE ROBE WILL BECOME SMALLER OR THINNER TO FILL THE HOLES WITH OTHER COMPOSITION OF THE ROBE.]
'Make it smaller instead of making it thinner.' Felix ordered the system.
Since the robe is still big for him even after gaining a better physique, then it's more appropriate to just make it smaller.
And it's probably reasonable that it can't fix the robe out of nowhere without using other matter, that's why it has to use other parts of the robe to fill the holes.
In his mind, he saw the robe changing from every angle, macro and micro level, in the micro level, instead of seeing atoms, he can see the symbols similar to the background of the virtual space.
At the macro level, he can see that the robe is becoming smaller while the gaps and holes are being filled with other robe parts, but after it fully fills every hole, there are no signs of patches, rendering him speechless.
Also, while all of this was happening, the dust and dirt in his robe just got teleported away to another place in the virtual space.
Although the conversation with the system and the changing of the robes seem like a long time, only a second actually passed in the real world.
Ron then whispered to his ears while supressing his amazement, "Brother, your robe just instantly fixed itself."
Felix opened his eyes, and saw that the robes instantly got fixed, it seems like the changes on the virtual space of his mind directly corresponds and affects the real object.
'What sorcery is this!? This is amazing! With this ability I can convert anything to other things!' He thought.
Then he continued,'Convert my body to a digital item!'
Since he owns his body, he is hoping that he can also convert his body into a digital item and change some parts of his body.
Hehe…
[Converted]
In the virtual space he can see his body being in the same position as him now, constantly breathing. It's a perfect replica, there are no difference, except on the micro level where atoms are replaced by symbols…
Damn… This system is too powerful!
As a man with modern knowledge, even if he is just an average college student, he knew that if during combat, he got damaged, he can use the composition of another digital item to fix the damaged parts of his body.
He looked at his core and saw mana being absorbed on a stable manner,
but the mana absorbed looks different from the description of the textbooks he had read when he was still in the Rad Family.
As if reading his thoughts, the system said.
[HOST, YOUR CORE IS DIGITAL, IT ABSORBS NORMAL MANA, BUT IT AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTS IT TO A DIGITAL ITEM, ALL IMPURITIES ARE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED]
He doesn't know what to say anymore…
Based on the textbooks he had read, it is impossible to completely removed impurities.
Although impurities are not that malicious on small amount, when you gathered enough of it, it can take up the space in the core where the stored mana should be located. That is the reason why at certain times of their life, their cultivation base stopped improving.
Pills are often used to prevent impurities from being absorbed, but after taking up a lot of it, the effects of the pills will slowly disappear, and higher ranking pills are needed to prevent impurities.
Cultivators' talent are ranked based on the amount of impurities they can prevent from being absorbed by the core.
On the talent curation of the Rad Family when he was 10, how can they even know how much impurities can he prevent if he didn't even have a core back then?
On billions of history of the continent, no recorded individual was known to prevent all impurities from being absorbed!
Based on textbooks, cultivators are not actually supposed to be slowed down on their progress if their capability to remove impurities are perfect.
If that is true, then he will be the first person to ever have a core capable of removing all of impurities!
This is perfect… too perfect.
"With this, my life as the main character will officialy begin!" He exclaimed exultantly.
Ron smiled when he saw that his brother was happy, but he doesn't understand what is a main character, because what he used in saying the main character is his previous language.
That's why he asked,
"Brother, what is a main character?"
"Ah. It means being the most important person in the story." Felix said whilst scratching his head.
The two continued to have conversation throughout the night, planning for their future.
But deep in Felix's heart, he was planning something tyrannical for the Rad Family.
