9 Answers, finally...

After we ate he went to sleep excusing himself, apparently all those cultivators were there to practice and duel between the sects in things like hunts and different kinds of competitions.

I was reluctant but once I felt the cold of the night I laid on the lower part of the bed, the silks were warm and soft, in those conditions, I fell asleep almost instantly, when I finally woke up I found the tent empty, a dish with some small fruits and a piece of meat on it was placed on the floor near the bed.

I got up and jumped from the bed to the floor and started to eat, the taste was very fine and fresh in both the meet and the fruits while eating I thought to ask some questions to the system.

'System is there a way for me to gain info on this world in a fast and safe way?"

[There is, actually by reaching the medium-level stage of the soul beast you'll unlock the library of the system, one of the main functions of the system]

'So for now I'm on my own in gathering intel, and what about the others functions?'

[There is a lot of function to the System, one of them is the organization of the ambient in an organized amount of data that would give the host the best ods at advancing and empowering themselves.

Then as the level and the status of the host advances the system will unlock more bits of help and guides to keep the chances high and maintain the host fastness in improving, for example, the library and the storage the host unlocked]

'Hmm interesting, and what does the system gain from helping their host?' I was still a bit skeptical because it seemed too good to be true.

[The System is not a sentient being, even if our communication and assistance seems not so artificial, we have no mind of our own, we are a tool, it depends on the host how and why to use us]

'Gosh, when you're up to the asking no question comes up... well for now... I think it's time to train a little bit of the new skill I gained...' I thought as I finished my meal and went outside, while I was still near the camp I also managed to find out the reason Chen had to leave that early this morning.

This day, the disciple of the sects are going to fight among themselves in a catch the flag game, due to traditions the teams they were going to make were mixed among the 5 sects that would take part in the game.

Being a fox was pretty useful, people didn't saw you easily and like that overhearing Infos was very easy, before reaching the forest to practice I managed to find out the names of the other sects, the yellow bannered one was the Leidian, then the purple one, Du Hua sect, the green one, the Zhenyu sect and last but not least the light blue one, the Yu Feng sect.

Once arrived in the forest, with all my stamina filled up I started to use repeatedly the skill [Leaf Blade] and even managed to hit a demon squirrel, that sadly still didn't form any core yet.

[+Exp...]

[Leaf Blade lv.1 --> lv.2]

And so the time was passing, me using my skills and starting to get hang with how to manage well my stamina, I understood that [The Sickly Pup] title weakness effect only affected my physical movements, so while using skill my stamina would deplete in a more efficient way.

The sun was falling behind the horizon and yet again one day passed, at the end, I couldn't level up [Analyze] but I managed to get up by one level up [Leaf Blade lv.2 --> lv.3], I yawned and went back to the camp.

The place where I was directed was Chen Yu's tent, but due to the competition he would have had to stay away for three days, not that I missed him or anything, but his presence was starting to make a furrow in me, without me noticing.

His servants brought me some food, nothing fancy, but it smelled delicious, it was a sort of mash mad by different veggies and probably chicken.

I wagged my tail to thank the servant, which, took the chance of his master not being around and started to pat my fur, after he left I laid on the bed and started rolling on it while thinking.

'I have to regain my human form to start to cultivate, and even if so, I'm not quite sure how to do that, System, is there a way to regain a human form?'

[There are numerous ways to gain back human form as a soul beast, the main one, and the most known way is to reach the godly level, another one is through evolution charts... but evolving into a human will block the host Beast abilities till their bodies will not be able to sustain them... reaching the godly level, gives you the possibility to change your form as much as you like, but cultivation will not be possible directly]

'Gosh...good that I'm smart enough to understand all of this, having the brain of a fox some time is uncomfortable, and I still didn't come across the thing I fear the most in me being an animal, Heat... even if the fact that I'm a soul beast could change something' some noises broke my silly thoughts, it was a servant who rushed inside the tent.

He was sweating profusely, on his face a worried look was permanent, I wasn't sure how to act in such a situation, luckily most humans tend to talk to themselves once they think they are alone.

"What to do...what to do... the master will kill me if I let that woman enter here but what can I possibly do against the goddess of the Leidian sect... I start to understand why the master keeps on rejecting her..."

I laid leisurely in the bed when the servant looked at me.

"Fox... could you pee everywhere? Maybe the smell would keep her away, wait why I'm talking to a fox?" At first, I thoufìght he was dumb, then a genius, and then again I thought he was a coward because the time to hear the steps of someone approaching the tent and he fleed away.

'Dear Chen Yu, you should hire more competent people to assist you' I thought...
