Chapter 7 - The system

"What!"

"How is that possible?"

A bearded middle aged man said as he sounded shocked, he was seated on a majestic throne and in front of him was one of his guard who had just relay him a message.

"Have the city guard investigate the matter regardless of the resources used"

"Yes your majesty"

This was the king of Tianhe kingdom and a powerful entity at that, only cultivator that had lived for a long time would know how terrifying he was.

He has rule the Tianhe kingdom for years now and never had there been such a bizarre situation where all the beast core in the coast land market square disappeared all of a sudden.

They had been fighting it out with the evil beast they still had no idea how they appeared and now such a strange thing happens which could only be pin pointed to the evil beast and if they didn't root out the cause very soon it might leads to a more bitter catastrophe.

….

The moment the black cocoon was finished absorbed into his body Ye Chen felt he has been reborn and felt his body was surging in power.

[Host status has been updated]

The moment that voice resounded Ye Chen saw erie black rectangular shape appeared before him but the strangest part was that he wasn't scared but felt connected.

On the black rectangular shape began appearing words after words that really made Ye Chen surprised.

[Name: Ye Chen]

[Age: 14]

[Cultivation: body tempering first stage]

[Technique: none]

[Skills: none]

[Innate ability: devour intent]

[World: extreme mortal universe]

These are the words that appears at the strange dark shape and it felt as if Ye Chen as filled his information.

"Body tempering?... isn't that the first stage of cultivation?"

"Am I really a cultivator, I can no longer be bulliy?"

"No…no…no this might be a trick or illusion"

Ye Chen was surprised to the extent he did not truly believed he had become a cultivator.

But what shocked him the more is that he found he was living in a mortal world not some cultivator world as everyone as believed.

In the academy they had been thought the stages of cultivation that exist and also how they where born as cultivators and rarely where there a person that can't cultivate like him.

"Erm system I have a few question I would like to ask"

[Host is qualified to ask any question as long as his authority is high enough]

"Good… ok I want to ask where exactly are you and what's this dark energy frame that won't vaporize"

[That's the system interface where host can see his status and also see where to purchase skills and techniques once he has enough dragon point]

"What!... I can buy techniques and skills?"

"Like those magical things that can create fire and water out of the air?"

[Yes]

"Ok… why aren't you telling me where you are cause I don't like the way you just speak in my head anytime you wanted"

[Host authority isn't high enough]

"Ohh the authority thing… then how do I make my authority high enough…

The system didn't answer that question and like that Ye Chen continue asking question after question while the system answers some and claimed his authority isn't high enough for most of the answers he seek.

After a while of conversation with the system Ye Chen was already coming used to it talking in his head while he also understood he had received something more terrifying than he had expected.

He asked the system about that devourer ability and what had really happened the time he entered the market area and the only reply he got was *that was for the awakening*.

Ye Chen really felt like going through the system interface right now but he knew he had to return back because his whereabout is unknown to his aunty and she won't might be angry once she finds out he wasn't home.

The moment he walked out of that silent passage Ye Chen felt the market was quite different cause it was really silent, and not only silent it also seems discarded.

But that was not the case as everyone in the market area has been told to leave the place as the city guards has arrived to investigate what had happened.

But him who had also been inside the market did not know that such a big situation had occured and he was also the cause of it.

"Hey stop there!"

A thick male voice stopped Ye Chen the moment he walked out of that quite passage.

Ye Chen felt his heart pounding cause he didn't know what happens here and now that such a blustering place a moment ago became quite means something big has happened.

He had no choice but to stop or else he would be beaten hard by this cruel guards.

"Where were you coming from and what are you still doing inside the restricted area?"

The person spoke again and it was a city guard totally covered in a silver blue armor, only his entire face was visible while his body was entirely covered in armor.

There was a long scar reaching from his forehead to his nose slightly missing his eyes, but this cruel scar only made the man looks ferocious.

"i was just here to walk around and I suddenly felt sleepy so I slept in that silent passage"

Ye Chen said as he pointed at the place he just walked out from.

"I just woke up and decided to leave until you told me to stop and can I ask why is the market suddenly quite"

Ye Chen was a very smart guy so he knew the way to shift his emotions since the time he was been bullied, now he had spoken his part and didn't wait for the guard to ask more questions.

"Hmmm?.. are you sure"

The guard asked as he stared at Ye Chen strongly making Ye Chen wanting to back off immediately.

"Yes sir"

"What's your name" the guard asked while still staring strangely at Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen"

"Ok leave"

Not willing to waste anytime under such a ferocious tiger's face Ye Chen walk away and only after leaving the market did he heaves a sigh of relief.

"What really happened"

"Does it have something to do with the system?"

Realizing it might be so Ye Chen didn't waste a minute longer and rushed towards his home.
