"Isn't one of the reasons why I was a 'waste' because of this damn System blocking my sight?"𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
|
||
|
||
Of course, my cultivation talent was lacking—there was no denying that. However, my failures extended far beyond my poor aptitude for cultivating qi.
|
||
|
||
My combat skills, reflexes, and ability to learn martial techniques were all severely hindered by this damned thing that had been glued to my vision since birth.
|
||
|
||
At first, everyone assumed I was simply lazy or untalented, but that wasn't the whole truth.
|
||
|
||
When I was a child, my parents even took me to the best doctors, fearing that I had a vision problem when I told them about this System Interface.
|
||
|
||
Yet, the results were always the same—my eyes were perfectly healthy.
|
||
|
||
Some even mocked me for this and said that I was making things up and since only I could see this, I couldn't prove them wrong.
|
||
|
||
But how could they understand that it wasn't my eyes that were the problem—it was this damned System screen constantly obstructing my view!
|
||
|
||
Imagine trying to fight with a thick, translucent panel blocking your field of vision—one that you couldn't swipe away or close.
|
||
|
||
A permanent blind spot, forever lingering in front of me.
|
||
|
||
The System's notifications would pop up randomly, covering vital parts of my view during battles, and no matter how I moved, the screen followed, always hovering in my line of sight.
|
||
|
||
Even when I tried to learn martial arts, the problem persisted. The forms looked blurry, the teacher's movements partially obscured.
|
||
|
||
|
||
It was like trying to read a book with a page torn down the middle—everything important was always out of reach.
|
||
|
||
So, yes—I was a waste. But it wasn't just because of my lacking talent.
|
||
|
||
It was because I was fighting with both my hands and my eyes tied behind my back!
|
||
|
||
"System, Close!"
|
||
|
||
The words slipped from my mouth almost instinctively—an unconscious reaction born from years of reading system-based cultivation novels back on Earth.
|
||
|
||
The moment I spoke...
|
||
|
||
The blinding, ever-present interface vanished.
|
||
|
||
"That's all it took?"
|
||
|
||
Sixteen years.
|
||
|
||
Sixteen years of stumbling through life like a blind man.
|
||
|
||
Sixteen years of being labeled a waste, mocked, and discarded.
|
||
|
||
Sixteen years of failure—all because I didn't know two English words!
|
||
|
||
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!"
|
||
|
||
After laughing at my situation, I chuckled at myself for a few seconds before finally settling down.
|
||
|
||
Sigh!
|
||
|
||
If not for regaining my memories, this suffering might have extended to life though that might have also been short-lived considering the situation I am in.
|
||
|
||
However, currently I wasn't in the situation to condemn the System which has ruined my 16 years.
|
||
|
||
This System which has been the source of suffering for the last 16 years is also my only hope of getting out of this damn situation.
|
||
|
||
"System!"
|
||
|
||
I called out and immediately the System Interface was back in full display.
|
||
|
||
Forgetting about the resentment, I immediately went to explore what this System is all about and how it could help me out of this situation.
|
||
|
||
"Let's see what this System is all about!"
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed as he scanned the System Interface.
|
||
|
||
Firstly, it was the same System Interface that he had seen for the last 16 years with details on his status.
|
||
|
||
*************************

[ Host Info ]
|
||
|
||
Host: Bai Zihan
|
||
|
||
Age: 16
|
||
|
||
Cultivation Realm: Core Formation (Early)
|
||
|
||
Constitution: None
|
||
|
||
Martial Arts: None
|
||
|
||
*************************
|
||
|
||
His focus then zeroed in on a tab—[Store]—and alongside it, another labeled [Rewards].
|
||
|
||
Without hesitation, he clicked on the Store tab, and System Interface instantly changed to show dazzling treasures before him.
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan's eyes flickered with awe as he skimmed through the Store, his lips moving unconsciously as he read the names aloud.
|
||
|
||
"Immortal Dragon Saber... Heaven-tier treasure, sharp enough to cleave space itself."
|
||
|
||
"Heavenly Rebirth Pill... 7th-tier pill, rumored to defy death and restore one's prime."
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Ninefold Star Scripture... Void Dao Bone... Thunder Dragon King Bloodline... Even a constitution could be brought?"
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan looked through the countless treasures that he never even heard about but sounded super powerful.
|
||
|
||
From the pills he took daily to powerful Bloodlines he had never heard of, there were all sorts of things he could potentially buy.
|
||
|
||
With such powerful treasures that he can buy, he felt relieved and more confident about tackling the future threat.
|
||
|
||
However, there was just a small problem and that was that to buy those treasures he needed points.
|
||
|
||
Zihan clenched his fists, his voice tight with longing.
|
||
|
||
"So many treasures... But without points, they're nothing but dreams."
|
||
|
||
A spark lit in his eyes as he spoke firmly, his voice cutting through the silence.
|
||
|
||
"System, what are points? How do I earn them?"
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan tried asking to see whether System would respond but as expected there was no response.
|
||
|
||
"Let's try this in English!"
|
||
|
||
"Ahem! System, what are points? How do I earn them?"
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan asked again, this time in English.
|
||
|
||
The System responded with words on the System Screen.
|
||
|
||
[ Heaven-Defying System ]
|
||
|
||
Earn points by defying the very fabric of fate and surpassing your limits.
|
||
|
||
Ways to Earn Points:
|
||
|
||
Defying Fate: Twist common clichés and rewrite destiny.Achievements: Points for reaching cultivation milestones and rare accomplishments.Challenging the Strong: The greater the disparity, the higher the reward.Stealing Fortunes: Seize opportunities meant for Heaven's Chosen.
|
||
|
||
Zihan's lips curled into a daring smirk.
|
||
|
||
"So, to claim these treasures, I must gamble against fate itself... and win."
|
||
|
||
Indeed, looking at my background, I was a third-rated villain that could die just by opening my mouth.
|
||
|
||
To defy such, having Heaven Defying System is indeed appropriate.
|
||
|
||
Next, his eyes moved to the [Rewards] section as he quickly changed the tab to [Rewards].
|
||
|
||
( Hope that there is something here like newbie gift or something which could help me! )
|
||
|
||
Instantly, the screen flashed, revealing numerous unclaimed rewards—glorious fruits of his cultivation milestones.
|
||
|
||
[ Unclaimed Rewards Available ]
|
||
|
||
Qi Refining Stage Achievement: [ 10x Cultivation Speed Card (3 Days) ]Foundation Establishment Stage Achievement: [ Martial Arts Enlightenment Card (1 hour) ]Core Formation Stage Achievement: [ Primordial Chaos Body Refinement Technique - First Part ]Defeated Bai Lei: 1000 points ...
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan's heart pounded as he scanned the [Unclaimed Rewards] list. His lips parted with excitement, his eyes blazing with anticipation.
|
||
|
||
His voice trembled with excitement.
|
||
|
||
"10x Cultivation Speed Card? That means I can cultivate ten times faster for three days! With this, Perhaps I could finally go from Early Core Formation to Mid Core Formation Stage!"
|
||
|
||
His eyes sparkled as he continued.
|
||
|
||
"And this Martial Arts Enlightenment Card... It should be something to do with Mastery of martial Arts. Perhaps I could gain Minor Mastery after using this?"
|
||
|
||
He wasn't exactly sure how effective it would be but knew that it would have great effect, considering this is a reward from the System.
|
||
|
||
Then there were many more unclaimed rewards for defeating different people and most of them gave him just Points.
|
||
|
||
"How did I even defeat them? I don't think that I have even gotten into any official fight with any people?"
|
||
|
||
After all, Bai Zihan was a coward and wouldn't fight where he could be injured.
|
||
|
||
"Can this be that when I bullied them using my status? That is also considered as defeating by the System?"
|
||
|
||
After looking at similarities in the list of people that were defeated and given him points, he came to a conclusion that there were all those he would normally bully with his status.

|
||
Although they were certainly stronger than him in terms of power, they wouldn't dare go against him as he was direct Heir and also the son of Clan Leader.
|
||
|
||
"Looks like I did benefit something from such an act!"
|
||
|
||
Bai Zihan now found that although his third-rated villain act was sure to bring his doom, it has also unexpectedly brought in some rewards.
|
||
|
||
With how much he bullied those people, the points given by the System should be quite substantial.
|
||
|
||
Apart from this, there was the reward for breaking through to the Core Formation Stage and that was some kind of technique.
|
||
|
||
"Primordial Chaos Body Refinement Technique...?"
|
||
|
||
His brows furrowed.
|
||
|
||
"I've never heard of a body refinement technique like this. Primordial Chaos... isn't that... the origin of everything?"
|
||
|
||
Although he has never heard of such a technique, just looking at the name, one could tell that it wasn't ordinary and quite powerful.
|
||
|
||
And most importantly, anything to do with Primordial or the beginning of time should be very powerful as those were the things that existed before the universe.
|
||
|
||
Of course, there was the chance that the technique was just given some fancy name and wasn't that powerful.
|
||
|
||
"System! What is the Primordial Chaos Body Refinement Technique?" |
