Breaking through by walking chapter 2

After the entire night of sleeping, Victor woke up and saw all the notifications before him.

"What the fuck is going on?" He said out loud to no one in particular.

It was then he saw a tab showing, [Status]. He pressed it.

…

[Name: Victor Talen]

[Age: 16]

[Health: 2/10]

[System Level: 0. Steps to upgrade: 1,000]

[Affiliation: None]

[Body cultivation: None]

[Soul cultivation: None]

[Core cultivation: None]

[Combat prowess: A Weak Fruit-fly]

[Skills: Poison immunity (Till rank 6)]

[Steps balance: 0/1,000]

[System remarks: Your existence is not as important as a fly]

…

"What the fuck is this? What are you? What do you want?" Victor asked the system in confusion.

[I am the system. I have been tasked to help the host to cultivate as quickly as possible.]

"What? Tasked by who? Why me?" Victor continued to ask.

[The host can know of the existence of who tasked him once the system reaches level 5. The host was selected as he was the only mortal who was born with a rank 1 soul, and was the only person who could handle the system merging with him.]

"Wait, if you have been with me since I was born, how come you are only showing yourself now?"

[That's because the host was poisoned by a rank 7 poison constantly since birth, and the only way to save the host was by using what little energy the system had to suppress the poison.]

"So…you have been protecting me? Why? Could you not have found someone else to bond with?" Victor asked, confused.

[While the host is correct, the system has already waited more than a million years to find a host, and I couldn't wait any longer]

"Okay...so what can you do? How will you help me to cultivate?" Victor asked.

[The host is behind schedule by 16 Years, so the system has made the easiest way for you to cultivate. As long as the host walks, he will be able to break through]

[Keep in mind host, it takes you 10 steps to break through the shackles of the mortal rank, and start on your journey to cultivate.]

"Hahaha, that is easier said than done. I can't even move right now." Victor said. What he said was true, his body was under extreme fatigue, and he could barely move.

[ I have already made cultivating extremely easy for the host, if you wish to complain further, I can just find a new host, even if it takes a million years.]

"Sigh, fine." Victor resigned to his fate, and stood up.

His legs were sore, mouth was dry, and his entire body hurt.

He then proceeded to walk. It was just 30 steps after all, no matter how tired a person is, 30 steps to break through into the ranks of a cultivator is nothing.

It usually takes 15 years for a person to start to cultivate.People can try to take medicinal pills to break through faster, but that will just severely hurt their foundations. From birth to the age of 15, nobody, no matter how talented, no one can break through into the realm of a cultivator.

However, there are people like Victor who exist, once every million years.

"Hahaha, it takes one 15 years to become a cultivator, but I was only born and became a cultivator. Unfortunately I couldn't cultivate due to being poisoned, but now, I can cultivate ."

[The host has accumulated 30 steps, he can break through into the 1st rank of cultivation now.]

"Okay system, please, help me break through into Rank 1." Victor said.

Victor then felt a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. Spiritual energy floated into his core, filling it up, breaking the mortal shell of the core for the second time.

His body felt the power it once used to. Spiritual energy was floating through his blood once again, giving him a strength which surpassed normal humans.

Then, the energy floated into his soul, expanding it. His senses were spread out to 10 meters, and he was able to tell whatever was inside of his range.

"Yes, this is the familiar strength, something which I took for granted." Victor murmured to himself.

[The host has broken through into the first tempering of the Body, Soul and core of the first rank. To break through into the 2nd tempering, it will still cost 10 steps per level up. In total, if the host wishes to break through into the peak of the first rank, it will cause him 270 steps. The number of steps needed to rank up will then increase]

[There is a change in the hosts status page, he can now view the martial arts you weren't able to use due to the lack of spiritual energy.]

"Open the status page please." Victor said while checking his body, he couldn't believe that he was able to break through without doing anything. It was unbelievable! It usually takes people years to break through.
