Chapter 2

I open my eyes to a black cave, much to my confusion. I sit up and look around blankly for a while until I remember what happened yesterday which made my mouth twitch at how I forgot about this already.

'How did I already forget that I was sent to another world... Oh well.'

I stand up and walk to the place I came in through and use Earth Manipulation on it again to get outside while blocking it off again afterwards. Breathing in the air inside this forest made me feel relaxed, which I can't feel on Earth due to the buildings everywhere.

'Right, I need to cultivate since I have no cultivation yet. Let's find a good spot first.'

I walk around the forest while looking for a somewhat open spot I can cultivate at, and luckily I manage to find a small opening where trees are not nearly connected together like everywhere else I walked around at.

Sitting down in the middle of the clearing, I close my eyes and begin meditating for a few minutes until I open my eyes and slap my head, forgetting I have no idea how to gather Qi into my body, so I ask the System.

'System, how do I get Qi into my body to cultivate?'

[Host just needs to want it to go into her body. Due to the Godly Genius Perk, Host can cultivate as if breathing, taking just a little effort.]

'I see... Let's try again then.'

I close my eyes again and will the Qi in the surroundings to enter my body, and to no surprise, the Qi in the surroundings begin to rapidly gather in my direction and start entering my body through all of my pores, gathering inside of my dantian.

I only gather Qi for a minute but I already felt myself get much stronger, so I continue to gather Qi for another hour, enjoying the feeling of getting stronger by doing almost nothing. I finally open my eyes again after an hour due to the lack of Qi in my surroundings, meaning I already absorbed it all.

'What the heck? Did I just go from no cultivation to the peak of Warrior Rank? Is this Godly Genius Perk really that overpowered?'

[Yes, Host. Godly Genius is something that normally only descendants of God's would have, so Host will naturally have a really fast cultivation.]

'I see. Let's check my Status.'

'Well, let's cultivate even more. Being at my rank is just too weak.'

I close my eyes again and begin to gather Qi towards myself, and when none come to me I remember that I already absorbed all of the Qi in this area, making me open my eyes again and stand up to find a different place.

Although I couldn't find another clearing like last time, I managed to find a place with a lot more Qi in the surroundings than the clearing, so I sit down while leaning against a tree and begin gathering Qi towards myself.

I guide the Qi I gather to my dantian each time, making it expand continually. Good thing the dantian is a separate space, or else my dantian would probably explode directly from how much Qi I have put into it.

The Qi in the surroundings last for 4 hours this time, which is pretty good considering last time was only an hour. When I feel all of the Qi is gone, I open my eyes again and hear the System's mechanical voice.

'Only went up to Soldier Rank Stage 3, huh. Well, I guess I should be happy about that, haha. I took only 5 or so hours to go from no cultivation to Soldier Rank Stage 3, if anybody else heard of this cultivation speed they would probably kidnap me... Use the Roulette Tickets.'

[Host has used 5x Roulette Tickets...]

[Host has obtained 80 points.]

[Host has obtained 70 points.]

[Host has obtained 45 points.]

[Host has obtained a Monarch Grade Alchemy Furnace.]

[Host has obtained a box of Alchemy Ingredients.]

[They have been stored in the Inventory.]

'Monarch Grade Alchemy Furnace and Alchemy Ingredients, huh. Looks like I am destined to become an overpowered Alchemist, haha. System, is my cultivation good enough to go to a city without being too weak?'

[Host is recommended to raise her cultivation to Knight Rank at the minimum before going to a city. The Devil Forest is located near strong cities only, so the cultivators inside are naturally strong.]

'Great, Knight Rank, huh. Another few days it is then, since I might as well make some pills as well before I go there to get used to doing Alchemy.'

Since the Qi in this area is already all absorbed by me, I stand up and walk around the forest again, looking for another spot with a lot of Qi. Within a few hours I found a few spots with the same amount of Qi as the clearing I first cultivated at, but it isn't enough at all for me so I ignore them.

I continue walking around for a few more hours until I finally found a spot with around 5 times the amount of Qi than the place I just cultivated at, which should be enough for me to get to at least the peak of Commander Rank if not into Knight Rank.

At this point it is already getting dark out, but thanks to my Soldier Rank cultivation, I can see decently in the dark, so I am fine. I found a cave that is directly in the middle of the Qi in this area, so I decide to go inside of this cave to gather the Qi as it is the spot with the most Qi gathered here.

As soon as I enter the cave, I felt something wrong so I subconsciously took out my Heavenly Grade Sword from my Inventory and held it in my right hand, looking around cautiously. I had nearly forgot that this is the Devil Forest where countless Demon Beasts are located at.

I am not sure why I did not encounter any Demon Beasts at all before this, but this feeling is as if I am being looked at by something as if I was prey for it, making me feel uncomfortable. Sure enough, a black shadow suddenly flashes towards me, aiming for my head.

I react instantly and raise my sword, blocking whatever attacked me. Now that it stopped I can see that it is a large tiger with black and blue skin, making it look extremely weird. Still, I can tell it is as strong as me if not stronger, so I don't hold back and instantly use my Lightning Manipulation to attack it.

I hit it head on with multiple lightning bolts, making it stunned and taking a lot of damage as I hit it's head with lightning, one of the strongest elements in the world. Wasting no time, I coat my sword in lightning and stab it into the neck of the tiger.

It flailed around while trying to get away, but it was still stunned in spot by my lightning so it wasn't able to get away and died a few second later from my sword, much to my relief. I remove my sword from it's body, causing it to fall onto the ground.

[Host has killed a Soldier Rank Stage 5 Ice Tiger and obtained 310 points.]

'Huh? I get points for killing things? That's cool.'

Looking at the dead tiger, I decide to simply bury it in the ground while using Earth Manipulation since I have no use for it and I don't want it's body to gather more Demon Beasts here while I am cultivating, since it will be annoying.

I block the entrance to the cave with Earth Manipulation and sit down inside, gathering all of the Qi in the surroundings towards me. The amount of Qi here is massive, making me feel I should manage to get to a decent rank after I absorb it all.

It took me around 13 hours to absorb all of the Qi in the surroundings, which just goes to show how much Qi was actually here. I open my eyes and can clearly feel I got much stronger, which excited me.

[Congratulations to Host for entering Soldier Rank Stage 4.]

[Congratulations to Host for entering Soldier Rank Stage 5.]

'System, can you skip all of this and just tell me my final rank after cultivation from now on? I don't feel like hearing the ding sound each time.'

[Understood.]

[Congratulations to Host for entering Knight Rank Stage 3.]

'Well, my stats are pretty high now, huh.'

I was going to get up and find somewhere else to cultivate at now, but I felt mentally tired after all this cultivation, so I decided to just sleep for the rest of the day and night to relax my mind. Creating a leaf bed with Nature and Wood Manipulation, I lay on it and fall asleep instantly.
