"So, what is my bloodline?" Cheng asked the system.
Ding!
[Divine Sage Emperor / ?]
Cheng's brows furrowed. "I have two bloodlines? Maybe it's because I have two dantians… Can I awaken now?"
Ding!
[Negative. Awakening requires:]
Hundreds of special jade stones150 high-level spiritual stonesA high-level pill (Forging one is extremely expensive)]
"OHH, okay… Great." Cheng sighed, realizing how difficult the process would be.
Entering Jura Forest
Cheng and Liu Yu left the city, stepping into Jura Forest.
As they walked, Cheng carefully picked various materials—ingredients that could be used to forge pills and elixirs.
ROAR!!
Suddenly, a pack of wolves emerged, surrounding them.
To an average cultivator, this would be terrifying.
The Alpha Wolf had reached Fighter 5-dan, while most of the pack was at Fighter 3-dan—except for two.
One was a mother wolf, standing at Fighter 4-dan, guarding her cub, who had no cultivation yet.
But unfortunately for them, they were no match for Cheng and Liu Yu.
With Cheng's twin dantians and Liu Yu's Fighter 6-dan strength, they were practically indestructible.
Battle Begins
Swish!
The wolves charged toward them.
Liu Yu quickly dealt with the Fighter 3-dan wolves, cutting through them with ease.
"System, activate full combat mode!" Cheng commanded.
Ding!
[Activating…]
Cheng's eyes turned slightly red—his energy surging.
He leaped high into the air, observing his enemies.
SKILL ACTIVATED: WATER BLADE TRIPLE FOLD
Three blades of water materialized, slicing through six wolves instantly.
Liu Yu took down seven—only four remained.
"AHHH!"
A wolf lunged at Cheng with sharp claws.
"System, you said I have a sword and a watch. What does the watch do?" Cheng asked.
Ding!
[The watch allows the host to materialize weapons or creatures that are not truly real, but can be felt, touched, and used to attack.]
Cheng smirked.
"Alright, let's test it."
He slipped the watch on—and instantly, pink and white sparkles formed an axe before his eyes.
Finishing the Fight
TECHNIQUE ACTIVATED: WATER BOILING BLADE
A blade of scalding hot water erupted from the axe.
With one swing, the attacking wolf was beheaded instantly—its mother fell next.
"Fine! I surrender!" the Alpha Wolf growled, slowly backing away.
Swish!!!
But instead of fleeing, it used all its remaining strength to rush toward Liu Yu, slashing her with its claws.
Blood splattered.
Liu Cheng's expression darkened.
His sword flashed—and the Alpha Wolf's head was severed in an instant.
Liu Yu, however, healed herself effortlessly.
Though it seemed like they had won easily, the truth was—it had been a brutal fight.
Most of the wolves were weaker than Cheng, but the real threats had pushed him to his limits.
Without the system, the watch, and his sister, he might have been the one lying dead.
It was now clear—the system's power and the mysterious watch were far more formidable than he had originally thought.
Hidden Creatures
"You can come out now," Cheng called, sensing something nearby.
For a moment, silence.
Then—two tiny fox cubs cautiously stepped out from behind a bush.
