Chapter 11 Too Much Essence

<< Congratulations Host, you have broken through to 5th Phase Dantian Establishment >>

"Oh! So, that's how it is?" Ru Chan nodded inwardly with understanding. At first, he was wondering why he didn't notice the breakthrough button earlier when he had risen his realm to the 4th Phase.

It was now that he realized that he had broken through so abruptly that there was no time for him to notice in the first place.

The notification that followed further confirmed his thoughts.

[Because the host previously possessed a weak body. The breakthrough was automated to increase your body strength to withstand the medicinal effects of the pill]

Ru Chan nodded, feeling a little grateful. If the system hadn't automatically increased his realm, he would have been blown to bits and what would be left of him would be pieces of flesh and a lot of blood.

Ru Chan: .....

It only took 10 minutes? Ru Chan could not believe his eyes. Ru Chan found the whole matter hard to believe.

Due to setting a time limit standard with Ren Lao's memories, he had expected to breakthrough within an hour or two. However, it looks like he had gravely underestimated himself.

Ten minutes! Someone actually broke through in 10 minutes! If this kind of cultivation speed was made known, the entire world would be in chaos. It was simply too incredulous for such a thing to happen.

"I guess I still underestimated myself a little too much!" Ru Chan could feel the changes in his body. It was the feeling of breaking through a new realm, however, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

However, when the thought of the rebirth pill, it all made sense to him. It was normal after all.

However, he was surprised that the amount of Universal essence needed to be had more than tripled. If he wanted to reach 6th Phase Dantian establishment realm, he would need 500 Universal essence points.

The amount had multiplied by 5 times, meaning that if he wanted to reach the next level, he would need to cultivate for 25 minutes.

Ru Chan's eyes shone with delight. He quickly immersed himself in cultivation, once again preparing for another breakthrough.

Twenty-five minutes later!

<< You have reach the limit of your current level, would you like to break through! >>

"Definitely!" Ru Chan accepted without a hint of hesitation. A smile was plastered on his face as he continued to cultivate diligently. Time passed quickly.

At first, Ru Chan wasn't quite accustomed to cultivating, but soon he began to feel the pleasure in it. Especially after breaking through each realm.

It was almost like a heavenly massage was going through his bones while he took a nap.

<< 800/800 >> Ru Chan had immersed himself so deeply in his cultivation that he forgot about clicking the breakthrough button.

Following which, the system didn't automatically break through realms anymore and instead, something else happened.

Meanwhile, Ru Chan focused on his cultivation and didn't notice.

After some time, a whole day had passed.

<< Congratulations host, You have surpassed the limit for your cultivation >>

<< 19540/800 >>

Ru Chan opened his eyes after a long period of cultivation. He didn't realize it, but an entire day had passed while he was in the midst of cultivation. However, contrary to what one would expect, not only wasn't he feeling tired in any way.

But he was actually quite energetic. A small smile bloomed on his face as he could feel endless surges of energy flowing through his body. However, Ru Chan was puzzled when he discovered that apart from feeling more energetic, there weren't any changes to his cultivation realm.

Feeling slightly panicked, he opened his status screen and only after taking a minute to examine it did he breathe out a sigh of relief

Cultivation Level – 5th Phase Dantian Establishment Realm [Breakthrough]

Universal Essence: 19540

"What the Fuck!" Ru Chan exclaimed as his eyes widened. Since when did he have so much Qi? This was simply incredulous.

"Wait! Did I accumulate all that Qi while I was cultivating? So, I didn't break through, but all the Qi was absorbed was stored in my body. Therefore, I can actually do such a thing?"

Ru Chan took in a mouthful of air. Even after searching Ren Lao's memories, he had never heard of someone accumulating Qi. Such a feat was simply never heard of, even in the Dao martial Lands. And now, Ru Chan had accomplished that.

Currently, millions of thoughts were going through Ru Chan's head. Lately, he had been experiencing numerous weird things happening to him. First it was the appearance of the system, then a martial lord tried to assassinate him, and now this.

"Wait a minute! Come to think of it, why did Ren Lao actually want to kill me. There is a chance that maybe me from my previous life that I don't remember might have offended him".

Ru Chan mused inwardly as he considered this fact. However, he only thought about it once before throwing it out the window.

This was because Ren Lao didn't seem like a maniac who was looking for revenge when he found him. Not to mention the fact that Ren Lao was already dead and was trying to take over his body.

There was no way that Ru Chan thought that he could offend a Martial lord. Just as Ru Chan was thinking about this issue.

BAM!

A loud collision rang out outside as Ru Chan's ears perked up. A slight frown appeared on his face as he turned his gaze towards the window.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize at first, but now that he wasn't he could hear sound of a collision taking place outside.

Currently.

Bang! The door was pushed open. Ru Chan turned his had towards his room entrance and saw a particular figure trip and fall into the room.

The figure instantly crawled up from the ground quickly as Ru Chan saw the face of a youth. Plus, it was the face of a youth that Ru Chan was slightly familiar with.

"You are here!" Seeing Ru Chan sitting down cross legged, the figure sprang forward towards Ru Chan in his worn out, torn clothes. One of his hands was in an awkward position, as if it were bent out of shape.

"How the hell can you sit here while Tang Ning is out there battling for everyone's life? If you know what's good for you, come with me!"

The youth said as he came forward and grabbed Ru Chan's hand. However, his hand which the youth had expected to grab its target touched nothing but air.

Slightly surprised, he turned his attention to see that Ru Chan was already standing upright.

This startled him a little.

"Qing Ming!" Ru Chan called out as he squinted his eyes a bit to get a better look at the opposite party's facial features. It wasn't because he couldn't see well, but it was because the other party was covered in dirt and there were some bloodstains all over his face.

"What's wrong." Ru Chan couldn't help but ask. He knew who this kid was. He was the next door neighbor of Tang Ning and himself who he had met twice ever since he woke up without his memories three weeks ago.

His name was Qing Ming and his father owned a small, shabby store in the slums where he sold some old antiques and knockoff products.

It was precisely from that store that Tang Ning had bought Ru Chan those tempering pills earlier.

"Look at you, you bastard lowlife. Not only are you so shameless, as you live off a woman who takes care of you. But even now, when she is duking it out with the Scorpion gang, you still sit here like a pampered gigolo".

Qing Ming snarled in disdain.

"Scorpion Gang?"
