Su Login sighed after eliminating the other Magical Beasts from the lake.
He had spent almost the whole day in that battle of endurance, it was difficult to throw them out of the lake, but he managed without taking too much damage.
His Training Set had no holes in it, only his skin had been cut a few times by the roots and fingers of the creatures.
After checking that he had successfully eliminated the enemies, he put the Sly Forest Disguise back on his face and started running, looking for a tall tree to make his base.
The young man thought for a moment on the way.
There were strong cultivators roaming the forest, so it would be easier to kill the creatures than to seal them off... unless the creatures respawned there, like the monsters that existed in the dungeons of his old world.
If the Magical Beasts here manage to respawn, it would be problematic to stay there for long. I hope the other cultivators will be careful.
Su Login didn't really care if anyone got hurt in that part of the forest, being lured by the nymph and killed by the ents was the fault of carelessness.
When he thought about the nymph's seduction, Su Login remembered that there was the Book of the Art of Seduction in his inventory, he wondered what it could help him with.
He was no longer so desperate to get XP. Even if he read the book, he could still consume it, although he would get less XP.
The young man decided to think about it later, his priority was to find a base and recover to continue exploring the forest.
***
Su Login spent the night cultivating an oak tree, he was on a branch in the middle of the tree.
He couldn't go too low, or he'd be targeted by creatures like the Ebony Whispering Serpents, and he couldn't go too high either, as he didn't know what kind of enemies he'd find in the sky.
As soon as he woke up, the young man checked in as usual.
[Congratulations, you have received the 'Common Flying Sword'.]
[Flying Sword: It's a weapon, a means of transportation and a beautiful accessory to carry on your back. The Flying Sword can soar through the skies and take the user to distant lands, the altitude and speed of flight depends on the user's level].
[The 'Common Flying Sword' has been successfully consumed. Congratulations, the Player has received 15 XP].
The young man was a little frustrated. When would the System give him a spear or a crossbow? Even a halberd would be more useful than a sword.
But that was only a temporary frustration, and Su Login soon got up, ready to explore the forest further.
He put the fox mask on his face and started climbing down the tree. His parkour skills were improving a lot, which would come in handy when he needed to flee in a fight.
Retreating in the face of a stronger enemy wasn't just cowardice, sometimes it was a strategy.
Su Login decided to walk further into the bushes as he heard the sound of flying swords nearby, there were probably two or three senior brothers inspecting the forest.
The number of experts had increased in recent days, Su Login could feel that some of the cultivators who had appeared emanated a stronger presence, they must have been in an advanced Realm.
"Companion, the elders are very concerned about the latest changes in the forest…"
Two young men stopped near Su Login. Even though these two were strong cultivators, they failed to notice the young man wearing the Sly Forest Disguise.
Su Login decided to listen for a while.
"The Ancient Peach Tree is reacting to the presence of evil people in the forest, the idea of someone using the dark arts in our sect is worrying."
"The Sect Master won't be happy to know that the elders are letting bad people do whatever they want in this sacred territory."
Su Login decided to move and not listen any further, it would be too dangerous as the two young men were landing on the ground.
He was a little intrigued by that conversation, it would be problematic if there was someone malicious in that forest, because that person would be very strong.
It would be very bad if he met the sect's enemy while wounded after a battle with the Magical Beasts.
Su Login moved a little away from that area and got on his Flying Sword, he would return to the oak and only leave when he reached another Level.
He would use that time to further train his physical strength and some of his skills.
In the fight against the Still Waters Ents, one of Su Login's titles went up a level. The more he used the skills related to the level, the more he leveled up, that was his conclusion.
On arriving at his base, Su Login first did the Daily Quest: to do 50 sit-ups. It was still very easy, but he knew that the level of these quests would soon increase.
[Daily Quest completed.]
[You have received 20 XP.]
The young man opened the Status screen and sighed:
-----------------------------------------
[Su Login, 14 Years Old]
[Level: 7]
[XP: 195 / 200]
[Qi: 2.398 / 2.500]
[Race: Human | Cultivation: Celestial]
[Realm: Unavailable]
[Strength: 25 | Defense: 10]
[Agility: 8 | Qi Gain: 1]
[Intelligence: 4 | Technique: 8]
-----------------------------------------
It seems that the System loves to test my patience, I always end up in these situations.
At that moment, Su Login remembered the book in his inventory. As long as he read the book, he would receive enough XP to Level up.
He didn't hesitate and thought about that item.
[Do you want to learn 'The Art of Seduction'?]
Yes.
Su Login closed his eyes, he had already gotten used to the learning process.
The moment he closed his eyes, several questions arose about the nature of the human heart, about lust and charm.
In order to master the Art of Seduction, he needed to know about the lustful desires of the human heart, he needed to understand how the primitive instincts and fetishes that corrupted the world worked.
The System began to answer the questions.
This time, Su Login looked at each answer and began to meditate on them, he wanted to learn more in order to evolve, this would certainly help him on his way.
[You have learned 'Art of Seduction'.]
[You received 30 XP.]
[You received the title 'God of Maidens'.]
[God of Maidens (Level 1): Title obtained by understanding the Art of Seduction, originally understood by the emperor when he conquered over 2,000 maidens during his reign.
Effects:
Charm (Level 1): Increases influence on people of the user's opposite sex;
Emperor's Cold Heart (Level 1): Increases immunity against seduction.]
[You've reached Level 8.]
Su Login frowned as he read the description of the new title.
Would that really be useful?
In his old life, he had faced powerful enemies and knew that women were just as powerful as men, would that charm skill give him an advantage over female enemies?
Although the Charm skill was a little dubious, he knew that having the Emperor's Cold Heart would be useful against Magical Beasts like the nymph he had met the day before.
I'm going to collect some Daily Prizes for a few more days and train, I need to get stronger due to the increase in the number of cultivators.
Before thinking about anything else, Su Login put 2 points into Technique, 2 points into Intelligence and 1 point into Strength attribute.
He was more worried about the enemy of the sect who was annoying the Ancient Peach Tree.
Su Login felt that, at some point, he would end up meeting that cultivator who had mastered the dark arts.
At least I'll have an advantage if she's a woman...
