Chapter 5: The Disgrace of Liang Clan (3)

(Author's Note: This is a revised version of this chapter. For clarity I will change how the system works in much simpler sense. But the story will be the same. Sorry for inconvenience.)

As the time for his final offering approached, Liang Tian felt a surge of uncertainty coursing through him. Though unsure of what lay ahead, he knew that he had to proceed for the sake of reaping the benefits of the Idol System.

"And for my last offering, I will unveil my very own martial arts technique, designed to boost vitality," he announced proudly, steeling himself for the task ahead.

As the guests watched expectantly, Liang Tian approached one of them directly, his movements fluid and deliberate. However, as he began his performance, his actions took on an unexpected and lewd quality, sending shockwaves of disbelief through the room.

With each suggestive gesture, gasps of horror and murmurs of disapproval filled the air. The Liang Head's face darkened with anger, his relatives exchanging incredulous glances as they struggled to comprehend what they were witnessing.

"I'm taking it back! He's not a genius! He is insane!" one guest exclaimed, their voice filled with disdain.

"So disrespectful! That young man has problems in his head!" another muttered, shaking their head in disbelief.

Amidst the chaos, Liang Tian continued his provocative display, oblivious to the mounting outrage around him. Some guests averted their gaze in disgust, while others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to react to the unprecedented situation unfolding before them.

"Is that even martial arts? Well, maybe it boosts one's vitality," someone else speculated, their tone tinged with skepticism.

As the commotion reached a fever pitch, the Liang Head's irritation grew, and he called for his guards to intervene. Meanwhile, Sis appeared with a new message, informing Liang Tian that he had completed the third mission.

[You have completed your third mission!]

[You have received +10 Attrib. Points!]

[You Received an Epic grade Sub-space ring!]

[You gained 5 exp!]

Despite the chaos unfolding around him, a sense of satisfaction washed over Liang Tian as he realized that he had achieved his goals.

"Let this disgrace out of this place!" the Liang Head bellowed with enmity, his face contorted with anger.

With a swift motion, the guards seized Liang Tian and dragged him out of the residence, tossing him unceremoniously onto the streets below. But even as he lay there, battered and bruised, Liang Tian couldn't suppress the smile that spread across his face. For in that moment, he knew that he had acquired the tools he needed to begin his quest for domination in the Martial World.

After completing all of his tasks for the day, Liang Tian felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him. However, his moment of respite was short-lived as Sis popped up with another message.

[Hello Dear Host! Because you have completed the daily mission before 24 hours, you will be given the opportunity to spin the Idol Machine!]

Sis announced cheerfully, the system voice ringing with enthusiasm.

"Idol Machine?" Liang Tian echoed, his curiosity piqued.

[Yes! The Idol Machine is a treasure trove of freebies, rare rewards, bonuses, and even otherworldly options like skills or buffs that you can use to bolster your abilities on your journey. It's a chance to obtain something truly extraordinary]

Sis explained, her tone brimming with excitement.

Liang Tian's eyes widened with amazement as he listened to Sis's description. The prospect of obtaining such valuable rewards filled him with anticipation, and he couldn't help but wonder what treasures awaited him within the confines of the Idol Machine.

[But remember...]

Sis continued, her tone turning more serious,

[You'll be given a total of three tries...]

Liang Tian's heart sank at the realization. Despite the wealth of rewards available, he could only benefit from one at a time. The limitations of the system left him feeling deflated, realizing that he wouldn't be able to access all the perks at once.

Feeling disheartened, Liang Tian couldn't help but think that the system truly had its drawbacks. Yet, he knew that he had to make the most of the opportunities presented to him, no matter how limited they may be.

[But even so, any reward from the Idol Machine could prove invaluable on your journey]

Sis added, her voice filled with reassurance.

With a resigned sigh, Liang Tian prepared himself to spin the Idol Machine, hoping to secure a reward that would aid him in his quest for dominance in the Martial World. As he approached the machine, his heart raced with anticipation, eager to discover what fate had in store for him.

As Liang Tian spun the Idol Machine, anticipation coursed through him, his heart pounding with excitement. With a whirl and a click, the machine came to a stop, and Liang Tian eagerly approached to see what rewards fate had bestowed upon him.

To his delight, he found himself the recipient of two basic martial manuals: [Basic Qi Refining Method] and [Basic Martial Arts: Enigmatic Palm Strike]. With the assistance of the system, he immediately delved into comprehending the intricacies of these foundational techniques.

As he immersed himself in the manuals, Liang Tian's mind raced with newfound understanding. The Basic Qi Refining Method required the opening of the dantian and spiritual roots, a process hindered by a certain technique that had afflicted the old Liang Tian. However, the manual hinted at a solution:

"Solar Soul Grass pill?"

According to the manual, the Solar Soul Grass pill possessed the miraculous ability to restore a blocked dantian and purge poisonous qi from a demonic technique. Liang Tian realized that this could be the key to restoring his body to its former strength, free from the constraints of the poison that had plagued him.

With a sense of clarity dawning upon him, Liang Tian finally understood why his body had weakened, just as Sis had warned him. His resolve hardened as he contemplated his next move: finding the elusive Solar Soul Grass.

Yet, as if in response to his thoughts, Sis appeared once again, a pop-up message materializing before him.

[Special Mission! You have acquired a special mission!]

Intrigued, Liang Tian opened the details of the mission and read its contents. His eyes widened in astonishment as he discovered the task before him:

[Pick up 100 Solar Soul Grass plants.]

[Rewards: Secret Solar Soul Grass Pill Recipe ]

Excitement surged within Liang Tian as he realized that this mission could hold the key to unlocking his true potential. With determination burning in his heart, he vowed to embark on this quest, eager to obtain the Solar Soul Grass and restore his body to its former glory.
