Chapter 77: Special Quest

For many days now, I’ve been trying to hold off my cultivation just so I could slowly lay down the foundation of my cultivation and steadily rise to the top without hurting myself. Also, it’s to completely stabilize my Qi Core so I won’t have any additional problems when trying to break through through the Transcendent Realm.

But for some reason, the System let me skip two realms at once and now I’m on the Fifth Level of the Immortal Realm. I mean, one death encounter and I already got to this level? What sorcery is this?!

“Hui-ying, what’s this? What’s happening?” I asked, my hands starting to shake, or more like, I could feel it shaking due to shock.

“I don’t know either, Yongrui! For some reason, you just skipped so many levels. I think the amount of Qi in the surroundings was a little bit too much, resulting in accelerated cultivation.”

Sigh. There it is, all my plans down the drain. But oh well, I’ve already saved up too much Qi, this much shouldn’t be surprising. I could already go head to head with those in the King Realm while I was on the Spirit Realm, and now I skipped the emperor realm and king realm and headed straight to the Immortal Realm, can I go head to head with a Transcendence Realm Cultivator now?

No, I shouldn’t dream too much.

Once again, I regulated my breathing as my consciousness became more and more solid. I could tell that I was already on the verge of waking up so I decided to cultivate some more. Once I wake up, I know that the pain I felt will rebound and I’ll be in hell again. Better to enjoy my sweet time here before I suffer once again.

“AAAH!” I exclaimed as I gasped for air. I thought I would slowly wake up but lo and behold, I woke up as if I just drowned. When I looked around, I realized that Luo Zehn and Lui Zhi’s party were all gathered around me. They all seemed like they traveled a whole desert with how exhausted they were.

“Yong Rui, we’re glad you’re awake.” Luo Zehn muttered as he fought back his sleepiness. “For a moment back there, I thought you wouldn’t make it.”

“What kind of cultivation technique or martial arts did you practice? Did you practice the Phoenix Fire Technique of Healing?” Blade asked. “You’re regenerative abilities are on par with Transcendence Realm Cultivators. And also, how did your cultivation leap by soars and bounds in just a split second?”

“It’s that crazy cultivation technique he practiced that sucks all the Qi Energy nearby. We’ve seen it firsthand but your technique has improved a lot, Yong Rui.” Luo Zehn complimented.

And just like that, the four of them stopped talking as they fell deep into unconsciousness. The moment they did, that’s when I noticed the warm Qi energy that enveloped my body. They were probably the ones who encapsulated me just so my Qi wouldn’t run amok. But still, they weren’t able to get out of my Automatic Qi Condensation area and as such, they had their Qi energy drained from their bodies.

“I’m really sorry everyone!” I quickly apologized before pulling all of them towards a tree where they could lean on as they slept. “Some sort of power teleported me into the middle of the two hordes… and I didn’t want you to get caught up in it as I did.”

“Yong Rui.” Wu Yan’s eyelids fluttered as she looked towards me. She was still half-conscious.

“Yes?”

“I-I’m so glad you’re okay.” She gently whispered with a smile on her face. After that, she finally completely fell into a deep slumber.

The next hour was spent watching over them. There were a lot of questions in my mind right now, like who reattached my lower half to my upper body, and why I skipped two realms in my cultivation. But those questions had to wait.

Ah, also about the daily quests.

“Hui-ying!”

“Y-yes?!”

“About the Daily Quests, ah never mind.” I immediately remembered that I could access the system through the panels that appear in front of me. As soon as I said ‘daily quests’ a screen appeared in front of me. On top of it, the words ‘daily quests’ were shown, and under it was a checklist.

<Daily Quests>

<Bite a Zombie 0/10>

<Bite a Human 0/10>

<Bite anything 0/10>

<Special Quest ????? >

“Hmmm… wait what? I’d have to bite? Why do I have to bite? What’s this for?” I exclaimed in a whisper so as to not wake anyone up. There was something fishy going on with the daily quests that I didn’t even know where to start. For starters, why do I have to bite a lot of things? And wat does ‘bite anything’ mean?

Does that mean I can bite a tree and finish the quest? Or I can bite my shoes? What?

“Yongrui, I don’t know anything about this. The System just gave it to you but I think there are benefits in doing this. For now, why don’t you try biting anything?” Hui-ying advised.

“I’m not worried about anything, I’m worried about biting a human. Who in their right mind would bite a human and infect them with the virus? Unless those humans are criminals, I’ll gladly do i argh! Even if they are criminals, I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to do it. All of us have a common enemy… and biting a human, well, it simply means that I’ve betrayed humanity, right?”

“But… Yongrui, if we don’t finish the daily quests, then we’d have to suffer another punishment by the end of the day. The first punishment almost killed you, Yongrui. We don’t have a choice.”

“No, we certainly do have one.” I clenched my teeth in anger. I can’t bear to think that the System could just order me around and do some inhumane things. That goes well past my ideals. I mean, I’ve benefited a lot from the System up ’til now, but this… this is simply too much.

“What do you intend to do Yongrui?” Hui-ying asked, I could sense the worry in her voice.

“Nothing… we’ll do nothing. If it boils down to committing such crimes, I’d rather suffer my daily punishment rather than live my life being ordered around.”

<Ti-ring!>

<Congratulations >
