Too weak to be called a Trash

Li Chen was stunned when he saw his Battle Sense was F- and he couldn't help but mutter.

"I'm that bad?"

"Yeah…so much worse," Hera responded matter-of-factly.

"With such a weak body, if you did not have the knowledge of your previous world, you wouldn't even survive the descent of the apocalypse.

Besides, your feeble mind would be scared silly when you encounter a zombie for the first time.

You're so much worse right now, and you need to get your act together as quickly as possible. The world is changing beyond your imagination."

Li Chen was silent for a couple of seconds, thinking.

Finally, he asked, "How do I get stronger quickly?"

As an earthling who had watched a lot of apocalypse movies, he understood one thing: in the apocalypse, personal strength was the only way to survive.

And that was what he was going to do.

"Simple. Cultivate the Golden Bell Body technique. It might not seem important now, but later on, you will realize how lucky you are.

Apart from that, it would boost your weak endurance and stamina."

Li Chen did not doubt that his endurance and stamina were a joke.

Just the thought of the F- made him want to puke.

Nevertheless, he was still curious about how the system derived his Battle Sense, so he clicked on the Battle Sense.

Looking at his pathetic stats left a bitter taste in his mouth. He did not expect this body to be this weak.

Being called trash was an understatement; he was the king of all trash.

However, he did not allow that to bother him too much.

Now that everyone had lost their cultivation and would start from the beginning like him, he knew he had plenty of chances to surpass them, especially with Hera by his side.

It was only a matter of time before he surpassed them.

With such thoughts, he gained a semblance of confidence and went to his inventory to learn the Golden Bell Body technique.

Taking out the brown scroll from his inventory, he only needed to read the cultivation technique a single time to remember it.

He returned the scroll to his inventory and began to cultivate the Golden Bell Body technique.

While he was lost in cultivation, a group of disciples and an elder arrived in Kunlun Village with tattered clothes and disheveled expressions.

Most of them were covered in blood with pale faces.

Leading them was the righteous Elder Lan. Her face had lost all its luster, filled with exhaustion.

For such a strong elder to have such an expression, it could only mean one thing: the journey toward the village was not easy.

Standing behind her were Ziheng, Jiao, and Xia with a few other notable strong outer disciples.

"Elder Lan, we should find somewhere to hide before those things find us," Xia advised, her face marred with trepidation.

"I agree," Ziheng nodded quickly.

Right now, he did not want to face those evil things.

He was both mentally and physically exhausted, and this applied to everyone.

"You're right. Let's find a place to hide and wait for the sect to send reinforcement to clear these things out," Elder Lan said, and the group rushed to find shelter.

On the third floor of the Wild Goose Commerce building, the young miss, whose name was Guiyin, looked at the Kunlun Sword Sect disciples in shock.

As a disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect, she knew how powerful each elder from their sect was.

But looking at an elder with a disheveled face, marred with exhaustion, she realized things were not as simple as she thought.

"I think the sect is also under attack," she thought aloud.

"Young miss, I think we should prepare for the worst," Na, her maid, said with a grave expression.

"I know, but first, let's see how things unfold." She paused and thought for a moment before continuing,

"Since we're the only village nearby, many people will arrive very soon. Then we can decide what to do next."

"Young miss, what about your parents?"

When Guiyin heard her mention her parents, her stoic expression dropped, and traces of panic and fear crept up her face.

But she quickly reined in her emotions and responded, "I did not forget about them. When we know what is going on and how to deal with it, we'll go back."

Since the start of this madness, she had tried not to think about the welfare of her parents and siblings.

The fear of them turning into such vile, evil beasts scared her.

However, as a girl who liked to think more rationally, she knew worrying without a solution would worsen the situation.

Thus, she decided to look for a solution before worrying.

On the other hand, Elder Lan had secured a small courtyard close to the center of the village after killing a few more zombies. They would have loved to go to the center of the village where the sect steward lived, but the closer they got to the center, the more zombies they encountered. Thus, they decided to settle for this.

Meanwhile, Li Chen had just woken up from his cultivation. He looked at his body and saw a golden luster flashing intermittently.

"So, this is what cultivation looks like," he muttered.

"Yes. This is just the entry level. The more you progress, the better the effect will become."

He nodded and felt his body brimming with strength. This was just the entry level; how powerful would the other levels be?

Suddenly, he blinked and asked, "Why can I cultivate? I thought everyone had lost their cultivation and it was impossible?"

"You can cultivate because the technique does not use the contaminated spiritual energy of this world but uses the new inflow of mana," Hera explained.

"Mana!"

"Yes. Just know it as a form of higher energy. Right now, you're too weak to know more about it. Get stronger quickly," Hera said.

Li Chen did not push to know more. He stood and looked at his healed palm with a light smile.

'That's why I love the cultivation world.'

Just as he prepared to go out and try his new strength, he heard the system's notification.
