Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Ren Ming looked at me with surprise.

“I didn’t think that you could actually block one of my attacks. You are stronger than I expected.” he said, surprised.

“Well, it is not going to be fun if it is a one-sided match.” I laughed.

Both of us furiously started moving. Our weapons started clashing every second, and I felt my hand going numb.

But I knew that this close combat was not good for him as well. My strength stat was doing its work here.

“You are an idiot. Why are you using the Child of Dao title here? You should be using your cultivator title, shouldn’t you? That way, you can get bonus stats.” Liu Man interjected.

“That’s right!” I realised.

I quickly evaded his attack and retreated.

“Change title to Cultivator.” I said.

[Changing title to cultivator. Title changed.] the system responded.

I felt the strength and speed impact me immediately. This was going to make a difference.

I charged back into battle. The attack that came towards me was too fast, so I had to parry it.

Flowing Cloud Spear! First Form!

The attack stopped in its tracks, and I used this moment to return the favour.

“Flowing Cloud Spear! Second Form!”

The spear disappeared momentarily. Ren Ming looked around with confusion. He put his spear close to him, fearing an attack from any direction.

“You are an idiot. Why wouldn’t you attack me when I am defenseless?” I wanted to say, but I didn’t want him to get an upper hand with something that I said.

I snapped my fingers, and the spear appeared where he least expected it.

“Its coming from the top! Look up!” someone from the bystanders shouted.

I frowned. This was not fair. He would definitely not have seen this coming, if it weren’t for that person interfering. And now, Ren Ming was looking up at the attack that was coming towards him.

“I give up.” he said softly and waved his hands. My spear stopped in its tracks though. It was like it had another master now.

“You give up? You were strong enough to stop the spear in its tracks with a wave of your hand! Why did you give up? I don’t need your mercy.” I said.

“Mercy? This isn’t mercy. If it weren’t for that person telling me, I wouldn’t have expected it to come from the top. That attack was supposed to connect, and it would have defeated me. So this is your win.” Ren Ming said calmly.

“Liu Feng wins!” the deacon announced.

The audience was dead silent. No one expected this outcome, least of all me.

The deacon looked at the elders now.

“Are the elders willing to take a disciple now?” he asked.

“Ren Ming. You have given me a delight today. Your temperament has changed for the better. Not having the next three years in the Inner court will be a waste of your talent. You do not need to rely on the resources there. Join my side, and I will let you wreak havoc upon the world with your spear.” a tall and thin looking man stood up.

“It was always my wish to become your disciple, fifth elder. And now, you have fulfilled it. Thank you for your grace.” Ren Ming bowed down and knelt.

The audience, especially the older disciples of the Outer Sect, broke into cheers.

Then, the deacon looked at me. He glanced at the elders.

“You won this match by sheer luck. Do not think that you are worthy of becoming a disciple of a sect elder.” the second elder said coldly.

The deacon looked at me with pity.

“Then we shall take a small break and start with the next matches after an hour.” he said.

I sighed and headed on to leave the ring.

“What did you do to anger the second elder? I have never seen him say something like that to a disciple in public.” Ren Ming stopped me.

“I didn’t do anything. But the second elder does not like my father. So I guess that I have to live with it. But I must congratulate you in becoming the disciple of the fifth elder. I wish you the best of luck. I am sure that you will grow much stronger now.” I smiled.

“It was a good fight. Back then, it was Hong Jimin who stopped me in the first round. And now, it is you. But he is a strong man, and do not think that you can go against him that easily. You need time to get to his stage.” Ren Ming said.

“I don’t do anything to offend these people. I just happen to be unlucky enough for everyone to hate me.” I sighed.

I walked to where I was to rest.

“It was an interesting fight, watching you defeat Ren Ming. I am shocked at how strong you are, Junior Brother.” Ji Riyal came up to me.

“I am sure that you are much stronger. Why jest.” I smiled.

“I am no longer so sure. You have not used your power of the Dao yet, and you are already able to use such strong skills and even take care of the piercing strikes that I would definitely have to use some effort to neutralise.” Ji Riyal shook his head.

“I was just lucky. I was just lucky. One thing happened to work. But maybe after watching your match, I will understand exactly how inferior I am to you.” I chuckled.

“Well, I hope that my match will be as uneventful as the ones before me. I don’t want any problems right now. I hope that my opponent will be as clear-headed as yours and know when to accept his or her defeat.” he said.

“Just how strong does he think he is?” I wondered.
