System," Congratulations on killing a Soul Refining Stage 1. You have gained 1,000,00 xp. You are now a Bone Refining Stage 3. The opponent has dropped 2 skills, 'World Crushing Fist' and 'Blood Lake'. Details of the two skills:
'World Crushing Fist'
Rank: C-Grade
Details: Crush the world with one fist.
Potential: Usable up to Soul Refining Realm
'Blood Lake'
Rank: ???
Details: Grants host insanely fast regeneration speed.
Would host like to learn any of these skills?"
" Yes, I would. I would like to learn 'Blood Lake'. Also, what are my current stats?"
System," 'Blood Lake' has been learned. Host's current stats:
Cultivation: Bone Refining Realm
Stage: Bone Refining Stage 3, 307,440 xp/400,000 xp
Body: Undying Body level 19
Skills:
'Blood Lake' Level 1.
Blood Essence: 0"
" It seems that 'Blood Lake' is currently level 1, that means that it can be upgraded huh? System, how am I supposed to upgrade 'Blood Lake' to the next level? Also what is Blood Essence"
System," You can use Blood Essence to level up your 'Blood Lake'. You can gain Blood Essence by absorbing the blood of other beings. The amount of Blood Essence you get from absorbing the blood is proportional to the amount of blood you absorbed and the cultivation of the being that you absorbed the blood from."
" Oh, I understand. So what I have to do is find some creatures, murder them and then absorb their blood. Sounds quite easy. Also, I nearly forgot about Fang Zhi... He was in the Soul Refining Realm, which means by absorbing his blood I'll get a crap ton of Blood Essence. Let's see how much blood essence our buddy gives..."
System," From absorbing Fang Zhi's blood, you have gained 800 blood essence."

" Spend all Blood Essence on 'Blood River'."
System," Congratulations, 'Blood River' has been upgraded to level 12. 'Blood River' has gained an additional attribute, host's body will regenerate its blood 5 times quicker. Also, you now have 20 Blood Essence remaining."
" Why did 'Blood River' gain an additional attribute?"
System," Every 10 levels, the skill gains an additional attribute. But the skill can only have one additional attribute, the host can choose whether or not to switch attributes."
" Oh, cool. What should I do now?"
System," Host is recommended to join a sect."
" A sect? How is that going to help me?"
System," A sect has many skills and treasures which can be of much use to host. Though host's body is equivalent to Soul Refining Stage 1, the host is only Bone Refining Stage 3. With the help of a sect, the host can quickly raise their cultivation to Soul Refining Realm."
" I see. But I don't know where to find a sect."
System," Though I am also unsure at the moment, I may have a way to teleport host to a place near a sect. Though if this plan fails, the host will have to wait another week for me to charge up and attempt it again."
" Alright, teleport me, buddy."
System," Ok. Remember to not resist me when I am trying to take control of your body. I will teleport you in 3...2...1."
...
" (thinks to himself) Ah... Why did you teleport me into a market? You think this is funny mate?!"
System," It seems the plan has succeeded. The reason host was teleported to this market is because in here host can ask around for information on sects near here."

" I knew that... I was just messing around, there's no way I would be that stupid."
System," Although the host has great luck, the host does not have much intelligence."
" Wow, we're back to you trying to bully me again. You'll never change this habit of yours, will you?"
System," Since the host is so useless I decided to gather info myself. I found out that there are two sects in this region, Sword Sect, and Saber Sect. Both sects are quite equal in power, but the leaders of the sects are both Bone Refining Stage 5. The host is recommended to go to one of the sects and have them give info on a more powerful sect that is nearby."
" How the hell did you figure this all out in a few seconds?"
System," I did a brain scan on all the people in this market. It was much more efficient than asking you to do anything."
" Relax, if you could've done it yourself then why did you even ask me? Aren't you intentionally trying to make things harder for me buddy?"
System," I will choose not to answer your question."
" And now you're avoiding my questions huh? Well, screw you mate. I don't have enough time to bicker with you all day. I'm hungry... I wonder what the people on this planet eat."
...
" I'll go to this shop I guess... It looks quite similar to a shop from planet Earth. Oh, the menu seems quite normal too. I'll have ramen noodles."
" Sure, just give us a minute.", said the waitress.
" Oof, this waitress is really hot. Are all girls on this planet hot?"
System," Just to let you know, no not all girls in this planet are 'hot'."
" Doesn't matter. Every girl I meet is always hot."
System," Oh really? Look behind you."
" Ok. (thinks to himself) Holy sh*t she's ugly. (I will not describe what makes her so ugly because a lot of people get offended by the simplest of things, so you can let your imagination run free on how she looks) Damn you system, you just got extremely lucky."
System," Host is recommended to accept defeat."
" Well fu*k you."
" Here you go. And if you need anything else just call me.", said Ying Yue.
" Sure. (while eating) This tastes much better than the ramen noodles on Earth. Must be because they don't use such sh*t ingredients as the companies on Earth do. After I'm done eating, I should go to the Sword Sect. I'mma make the sect leader tell me everything he knows."
