Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning was bloody, but none of it were his own blood. Thanks to his higher cultivation base, he had been able to successfully kill off the rest of the snakes, while the one that was truly strong stayed behind in caution. 

'It would've been bad if it really did decide to join them,' Ning thought. 

He kept on swinging the spear around, steadily increasing the power in it. The Cerulean Hornsnake slid across the body of its former friends as it prepared to attack Ning. 

Ning suddenly pushed himself off of the ground and dashed towards the snake. Seeing that he was finally coming after it, the snake also lunged towards him. 

At the last moment, Ning slid below the jumping snake and pierced its stomach as he went forward. However, all he could do was create sparks when the spear hit the snake's scales. 

'Damn, I knew it was tough, but I didn't expect it to be so much,' he thought. 

He slowly started moving his legs around, doing different maneuvers that made it look like he was dancing. The snake immediately turned around to attack, but it got a little slow all of a sudden. 

Ning thought he got the snake and jumped forward, but as soon as he stopped his hypnotizing dance, the snake was back to its normal self and attacked him as well.

The fangs managed to block the spear without showing the slightest hint of breaking or even chipping. 'Damn this snake is so strong, and it keeps making me stop using the Revolution Spear technique. I need to either stay away from it for a while or change my approach,' he thought. 

So he decided to go a different route. 'Can I even get bit? This body will die if that ever happens. Although, maybe I will be sent out.'

'But I wasn't when that other snake bit me. Did that not count as fatal damage?' Ning thought. He didn't know the criteria for getting sent out of the secret realm, so he had to be careful. 

Suddenly, Ning punched with his left hand, sending out fist-shaped energy towards the snake. While that was happening, he immediately went behind the snake and use the One True Spear strike. 

He launched forward with his spear and sneak attacked it. But the snake suddenly twisted its tail to slap him mid-flight and threw him towards the jungle. 

"Ow, what the hell? How did it know I was— Ah f*ck. I should have known," Ning wanted to slap himself for not thinking it through but the snake's slap had done enough damage. 

Thankfully, the snake also took a little damage from the fist as it didn't have any other way to dodge and attack him at the same time. 

'Damn, it weighed its choices and decided that hitting me was a better choice than dodging. What a terrifying intelligence,' Ning thought. 

He once again rushed forward for a direct fight. The snake also slid forward and started fighting the spear of its tail. 

TANG TANG TANG TANG

Multiple sounds rang throughout the forests as their spear and tail hit each other. The snake was strong but it didn't realize that by fighting directly, it was allowing Ning to gather power onto his spear. 

Ning took the chance to continuously gather more and more power as finally in one of the clashes, he managed to pierce the skin and cut deep into the snake's body. 

'Oh, it's only the skin that is strong, not the muscles or bones,' Ning thought. He had previously already checked the snake's abilities but had seen nothing worthy of worry. 

The only thing he needed to care about in this fight was the strong cultivation base and the beyond terrifying venom of the snake. 

The snake pulled back its tail and instead tried to bite Ning. Ning immediately used his spear to pierce the snake's head but the fangs were too strong to hurt and so they clashed together and got into a power struggle. 

Ning was thinking of pulling back his spear and continuing to keep his spear's energy it had gathered due to spinning, but suddenly, something he hadn't prepared for happened. 

The snake, instead of continuing the power struggle, just opened its mouth further wide until its fangs were pointed towards Ning and sprayed its Venom at him. 

Ning was scared out of his mind for a split second, but immediately gained control of his mind and did what the snake absolutely was not expecting him to. 

He stopped the venom mid-air. The snake was a little surprised seeing the Greenish yellow venom in mid-air and even a little afraid. 

Ning didn't want to keep the venom in the air for long as the fumes from the venom might end up being dangerous as well. That was when he noticed the snake acting a little different than usual.

'Could it be?' he thought and immediately sent venom flying back towards it. The snake tried to dodge it, and it did, but the venom once again stopped midair and changed its direction to fall onto the back of the snake.

The snake started struggling amongst the other snake's bodies to get rid of the venom, but it was too late. As soon as the venom had touched its skin, the part of that skin was shed off. 

The muscles however didn't have much damage to them. While the snake was resistant to its own venom on the inside, it seemed the venom was bad for it on the outside.

Once the skin was gone and the muscles were visible, Ning knew the snake was as good as dead now. He immediately took out his sword and started controlling it with his Qi and telekinesis to fight the snake, while he started looking for ways to attack the snake. 

The snake tried to dodge and run away, but Ning would always be there to attack. After fighting for a few minutes, Ning finally got his chance.

Just as the snake was distracted thanks to his sword, He launched the One True spear strike and pierced directed into the snake's body, and struck its heart.
