Mortal Shedding Stage

After all was settled at the store, Gabriel was barely able to contain his excitement as he signed out and began to walk home in a surprisingly calm manner considering how excited he was.He was not worried about being nagged by anyone about being late when he got home, since the Gabriel of this world was an orphan.He spent all the days of his life in an orphanage and as he was told by the caretaker, he was found with only his name written on a piece of paper with a dragon pendant delivered in the front door of the orphanage.He always wore it around his neck as it was the only thing he had of his unknown parents.

"System can you scan this pendant and tell me what it is made of? "

'Replying host, the pendant is made up of The Millennium Ice Jade.It can only be found in places with extremely frigid temperatures and rich in Qi, it can only be formed after a thousand years.'

"I've never heard of that but from the name and description, it does sound like some sort of treasure.Whosoever the parents of this guy is, they are definitely not ordinary people.What does this thing do exactly?".

'It is able to slowly aid the wearer, increase their comprehension ability and makes it easier for them to gain enlightenment'

'Woah! That's great!!It's really an heaven defying treasure!!!', he thought excitedly

....

He unlocked the door and walked into his apartment after which he locked the door, excited to officially embark on his journey towards sovereignty. He sat down cross legged and thought

'System, take out the Mortal Shedding Pills and imprint Absolute Ruling Art into my mind'

'Affirmative'

He suddenly felt a mind rending pain as another information appeared in his mind. They were the mnemonics of the Absolute Ruling Art, and after going through it he was stunned for a very long time before he sighed.,"Just when I thought I've had enough suprises, I suddenly get slapped by reality again"

It's turns out that the Absolute Emperor Art was a very domineering cultivation technique which focuses heavily on the Emperor's Dao.It not only cultivated the body but also his Qi and his soul.

It was a technique which naturally made him walk the path of an Emperor. Wherever he went to, he would conquer and rule that area so that he could enhance his Superior Emperor Qi.

'System take out the drop of the Primordial Emperor essence blood. I'd like to fuse with it'

'It is advised, that host should attain a certain level of cultivation before attempting to fuse with the Primordial Emperor Essence blood, as host will undergo lots of pain which might possibly lead to death.. '

'Okay perhaps I should take things slow.'

He took a Mortal Shedding pill and ingested it, then started to cultivate the Absolute Ruling Art.

He cultivated and time lost all meaning to him, he opened his eyes when it was day break. His eyes glowed golden for a brief moment,"I can feel lots of changes already, worthy of being called an immortal technique".

He was lost in thought before an extremely pungent smell got to him which nearly made him choke, he looked at his skin only for find it covered in a dark substance.

"Must be the impurities expelled from my body, but fuck, it smells like shit. "

He team towards the bathroom for a bath and after a few minutes, he came out feeling great until he looked in the mirror and got stunned because he saw a very handsome guy with a body chiselled to near perfection and his skin was as smooth as jade looking back at him, gone were the scars from bullying at school that were around his body.All that was left was a smooth skin in it place.

"Damn! that's me?, for a second, I nearly fell in love with my self".

He began to prepare for school, as he had a qualification exam today, which made the former him quite hopeless, but now he was full of confidence.

The Azure Dragon High School was located in the middle of the city, it was a school that had produced a lot of geniuses and there was a rumour that it was affiliated with, The Azure Dragon Institute in the capital.

Gabriel arrived and began to walk in the hallway and students were trying to figure out which class this handsome dude belonged to.He went into class and went straight to the back corner of the classroom beside the window and sat down,ignoring the stunned and confused gazes of his classmates.

The first class they had was supposed to be History but due to the qualifications exams, it was to be suspended.

A teacher whose name was Teacher Lionel walked in, "You all should follow me to the venue for your martial assessment..... and who are you? you should stand up, that seat already belongs to a student" he told Gabriel

"But sir, this seat is actually mine",he replied

"No kid, that seat belongs to Gabriel Morningstar, you should stand up so I can find another seat for you"

At this stage even Gabriel was stunned,"But, I'm actually Gabriel Morningstar".

This time not only the teacher, but the students were all surprised.

'No way!, that's Gabriel?.How did he suddenly become so handsome'

'Damn! He's so charming!'

'I think I'm in love!!!'

'So what if he suddenly became handsome?, Trash is still trash!'

"....",Everyone

"Oh!! Gabriel? It's great to have you back!.Now everyone, move your assestowards the hall"
