Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning walked out in the morning, however, he couldn't cultivate his body anymore. He couldn't help but laugh to himself when he thought that. 

The thing he wanted to see quite a lot had ended up being what took away his ability to cultivate his body. 

It was snowing. 

Since the clouds blocked the sun, he couldn't cultivate the Sun God's Morning Cleansing technique. In fact, in the last couple of months, there were a few times he couldn't cultivate it due to there being clouds or it being a rainy season. 

So, his body was slacking quite a bit compared to his Qi cultivation. 

'I need to find a new body cultivation technique,' he thought. He wanted to find one that used heat energy so that he could use the Yin-to heat conversion technique all night while using up his mental energy and cultivating his body at the same time. 

But since he needed to increase the cap, he didn't even bother asking if there was a body cultivation technique like that. 

"Hey Ning, you up already?" a man walked out from inside the house. His name was Scaben and was an inner sect disciple, just like Ning himself.

"Yeah, I need to go to my work at the Beast grounds. Got beasts to feed," Ning said. 

"Honestly, you should stop doing that thing already. I heard Rekiel's arm was eaten by one of the beasts. You should just quit and join the Beast Training group. We actually need all the people we can. Sigh, the exam is too hard for most people," Scaben said. 

Ning just smiled and ignored his comment. He soon went to the Beast Feeding hall to get the food for the beasts. As usual, even in the cold weather, Soria was staying at the reception, trying to scare away another group of newbies.

He saw Rekiel show his stub and scare away the new disciples; Ning just laughed to himself.

"Hello Sister Soria, Brother Rekiel. I'm here for the food," Ning said. 

"Hello, Ning. It's your turn today?" Soria asked. 

"Yeah, it's his turn. Here, take this," Rekiel handed him another storage bag. Ning swapped the storage bags with an empty one he always carried. 

Soon, he went to the Beast grounds and fed the different beasts. Over the next 2 days, he spent his time doing the same and earned 30 coins once more. 

On the third day, he got out of bed once more. "Sigh, another clouded day," he thought as he looked at the sky. Doing nothing but cultivation was starting to get boring very quickly. 

He needed some spice in his life. 

'I keep practicing all these techniques, but I haven't put them to use yet. Let's go to the forest and hunt some beasts. Hopefully, I can get another beast too. That will be fun,' he thought. 

So, he left the sect and went into the forest. 

There were actually quite a few people in the forest already trying to try their luck at finding an amazing beast or just there to practice their training. 

He walked for a while before he even started finding beasts at all. But most of them were either adults or just useless beasts according to the rankings. 

Suddenly, a large bipedal bear saw him and started walking towards him.

'An Earth bear?' he thought as he looked at the bear. It wasn't the best in rankings, but it was above average for sure. He looked at the bear's cultivation and saw that it was the 5th Qi condensation realm. 

"That's a level higher than me, but given that it is equal to my body cultivation realm, I should be fine," he thought and took out the bloodred spear. 

He was here to train two different techniques. The first one was a spear technique. Instead of just a single thrust technique like the One True strike technique, he learned another technique called the Revolving Spear technique. 

It cost him 15 gold coins for it alone, so he knew it was quite good. The technique was very weak when used at once, but as the user kept on using it, the power would start to stack on the spear; the longer one kept up the technique, the stronger it became. 

Ning started spinning his spear around his body, stacking the power on it. At the same time, he also started moving around himself, as if he was dancing on the battlefield. 

This was Ning's second technique called the Hypnotizing Dance. This was a technique that made anything that looked at him get sent into a lull and start being passive. 

The same started happening to the bear. At first, the Earth Bear was rather aggressive, but once he started using the dance, it started to get docile. Then, Ning landed the first attack. 

SLASH

A cut appeared across the bear's chest and blood started flowing down. The bear was woken up from its lull due to the pain it was feeling from the cut. 

'Tsk. I underestimated its defense,' Ning thought. He was trying to kill the bear in one hit, but due to the strong defense, he only ended up wounding it. 

Now, thanks to the wound, the bear wouldn't fall into a lull anymore. 'Whatever, it's not like I needed to rely on it anymore,' he thought. Ning hadn't stopped using the Revolving Spear technique, so the power of the spear was still stacking. 

The bear came attacking with its giant paws and nearly hit Ning's chest. Ning barely managed to dodge it and returned another strike onto the bear's body. 

This cut was more severe than the last one. 'The power does keep on stacking. As long as I can keep it up, the damage will go up a lot,'  he thought. 

He kept on adding more and more cuts onto the bear's body until it couldn't handle it anymore and died. Ning stopped as he was out of breath. 

While the power did increase a lot as he kept on going, it also took a toll on his stamina. He let Night out and let him eat the bear's meat while he caught his breath.
