My Cultivation System

'Ding,

    Trial progress:- 

           1) Killed 399 / 1000 rank 1 ambush ghosts.

           2) Killed 12 / 100 rank 2 ambush ghosts.

           3) Killed 0 / 10 rank 3 ambush ghosts.

           4) Killed 0 / 1 rank 4 ambush ghost.

'Still, a long way to go before completing this trial.'

Looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Henrick muttered to himself.

The fire vine in front of him just fell to the ground a few moments ago which made Henrick heave a sigh of relief. So, he checked the trial progress.

It took another 30 minutes after he filled his dantian with the pure internal fire energy from the special storage gourd.

Even though the fire vine took more time than Henrick anticipated, he was not worried much about it because his dantian still has 30 percent of pure internal fire energy.

'System, I am sending Ivy into my dantian.'

Henrick focused on the weak connection between the fire vine and himself to send the fire vine into his dantian.

'Za'

'Swoosh'

The huge fire vine hovered in the air before turning into a thin vine that was around only a couple of meters long.

'Enter.'

With that thought in his mind, Henrick sent the fire vine into his dantian and prayed that it should work.

'Ding,

     Master, if it tries to increase its body size, just kill it.

While Henrick was hoping that the fire vine would not try anything funny, he got a system notification suggesting Henrick kill it the moment the fire vine tried something funny.

Since the fire vine is Henrick's battle companion, Henrick could kill it whenever and wherever he wanted just with a thought. So, the system reminded him about it in case Henrick forgot about it.

'Yes.'

Even though he cares about the fire vine that doesn't mean he would allow it to kill him which would, in turn, kill the fire vine itself.

Henrick continued to watch the fire vine in his dantian which was hovering in the mid-air without any obvious signs of body movement.

He was ready to wipe the spiritual connection between himself and the fire vine when things went south.

'Ding,

     The fire vine's crazy state is currently stabilized; however, it will require a lot of internal fire energy along with a lot of sleep before awakening from its sleep.

'Phew'

Only when he saw the system notification, Henrick heaved a sigh of relief as he silently muttered, 'Thank you system for letting me know about Ivy's condition.'

'Ding,

     It is my duty to serve my master.

'So you need a lot of internal fire energy? Then absorb as much as you want.'

Henrick didn't bother himself with the system notification as he focused on the weakly lying fire vine in his dantian.

Even though the fire vine was surrounded by pure internal fire energy, it was not absorbing it because, without Henrick's permission, it should not consume any of his internal fire energy. 

'Slurp'

As soon as Henrick gave the orders, the fire vine didn't stand on any ceremony as it dived down into the dantian and started absorbing the 30 percent pure internal fire energy inside Henrick's dantian.

'It looks like I need to increase the internal fire energy in my dantian.'

Since there was no need for him to dodge the fire vine anymore, the ambush ghosts also stopped sneaking on him. So, Henrick felt he could increase his internal fire energy with the help of the bug cores.

'Ding,

     Master used a rank 3 bug core.

     Gained 10 percent of internal fire energy.

'Ding,

     Master used a rank 2 bug core.

     Gained 5 percent of internal fire energy.

'Ding,

.

.

.

.

Soon, Henrick started absorbing the bug cores he got from Master Valen and increased his dantian.

'Ding,

    Master's dantian is completely filled. Do you want to fill the special storage gourd?

After using who knows how many bug cores, Henrick's dantian was filled and at the same time, the fire vine inside his dantian also stopped consuming any more internal fire energy.

So, the system asked whether he wanted to fill his storage gourd.

'Of course.'

Why would he not fill it? As long as the special storage gourd is filled with internal fire energy, he could instantly fill with dantian by 100 percent without doing anything.

So, he nodded his head while looking at the ambush ghosts around.

'I should finish the first three tasks from this trial as soon as possible and get ready for the rank 4 ambush ghost.'

Since ambush ghosts have unusual speeds, he didn't want many low-level ambush ghosts to be around him when he fought a rank 4 ambush ghost.

Even though according to the system, the rank 4 and rank 5 ambush ghosts didn't like to stay in groups, that doesn't mean they would kill those low-level ambush ghosts.

Moreover, his sight is also very limited in this world. So, he wanted to finish the easier tasks as soon as possible.

'Ivy, you take a good rest while I will have some fun with these cowards.'

After finishing his words to the fire vine, Henrick focused on only one thing and it was to kill the ambush ghosts.

'Swoosh'

'Kacha'

'Fire demon stare.'

'Demon claw'

'Gigantic demon blade'

'Burning spear, kill them.'

Soon, Henrick moved from one place to another and started killing the ambush ghosts.

Earlier, he had to focus on three things. So, he was unable to kill many ambush ghosts; however, right now, there is only a single thing that made Henrick kill a lot more ambush ghosts.

Moreover, unlike the last time, there was no planning while killing the ambush ghosts.

Henrick used all the skills he had gained from his cultivation along with his rank 4 burning spear.

'Puchi'

'Kacha'

Since there were thousands of ambush ghosts around him, as long as he jumped into a group of ambush ghosts and threw the burning spear and the gigantic demon blade, he would kill more than a dozen of them.
