Wangu Continent, Taichu Sect.
"Did I transmigrate?"
Yun Lang frowned, memories surging into his mind. His original body was an outer disciple of the Taichu Sect. He had offended the son of an elder, Wang Long, and was severely injured, leading to his soul's demise and Yun Lang's successful possession.
"It seems the disciple I've possessed is in quite a predicament!"
A bitter smile flickered across Yun Lang's lips. The original host had mediocre aptitude and had also offended the elder's son. Surviving here would not be easy!
"Organ Evolution System, activation successful. Commence activation?"
As he was contemplating, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
As a seasoned novel enthusiast from Blue Star, Yun Lang was no stranger to systems. Without the slightest hesitation, he initiated it!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the system!"
"Detected: System is breathing. Lungs are continuously strengthening!"
Yun Lang frowned at the system's words. What was the use of constantly strengthening lungs?
He took a deep breath. The spiritual energy in the room instantly surged into his body. He, who was originally at the third level of Qi Condensation, broke through to the fourth level in a mere instant!
"Holy cow, I can absorb spiritual energy directly?"
Normally, cultivation required the spiritual roots in the dantian to absorb energy. Now, he could directly inhale spiritual energy. As long as he was alive and kept breathing, he could cultivate!
Wouldn't that mean he was cultivating every single moment? This was truly heaven-defying.
"System, open host panel!"
After Yun Lang spoke, a panel appeared in his mind!
Host: Yun Lang
Age: 21
Realm: Fourth Level of Qi Condensation (Realm divisions: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Saint King, Saint Venerable, Great Emperor, Emperor Venerable)
Organs: Lungs (continuously strengthening), Heart, Kidneys, Fingers, Legs, Eyes, Skin, Bones, Brain, Eyes.
Un-evolved: Lungs, Heart, Kidneys, Fingers, Legs, Eyes, Skin, Bones, Brain, Eyes.
Organ Level: Normal Lungs (Note: Requires 20/100,000 instances for next upgrade)
Weapon: First-grade Heavenly Spirit Sword
Yun Lang observed that only his lungs were strengthening, while other organs had not yet triggered their evolution. It seemed special conditions were required. He wondered what the next upgrade would bring. Could it even manifest intelligence?
Without dwelling on it, he stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. The system's voice sounded again.
"Detected: Host is walking. Legs are continuously strengthening. 5/100,000 instances required for legs to upgrade."
Yun Lang felt his legs and noticed his speed was gradually increasing. It seemed simply walking could continuously strengthen his legs.
As he pondered, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Isn't that Yun Lang? How are you still alive? I thought Young Master Wang had beaten you to death!"
Yun Lang looked up at the voice and saw Li Feng, one of Wang Long's lackeys!
"What are you doing here?"
Yun Lang said coldly, looking at Li Feng.
If it were the original host, he might have feared Li Feng. Although both were at the third level of Qi Condensation before, he had been constantly tormented and was too frail. Now that he had broken through to the fourth level, he had no fear of the other party.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Hurry up and hand over this month's Spiritual Energy Pills!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Feng's eyes as he spoke disdainfully.
"I don't have any!"
Yun Lang replied coldly and prepared to leave. Every month, the sect distributed three Spiritual Energy Pills. However, his pills were always snatched away.
This was also the reason why the original host had been unable to break through. The reason Wang Long dared to snatch the pills was not only because he had a powerful father but also because the sect encouraged competition.
Li Feng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "I haven't beaten you in a few days. Are your bones itching again?"
As soon as his voice fell, he clenched his fist and charged forward.
As they collided, an audible thud echoed.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound, followed by a miserable scream.
"Ah!"
Li Feng was sent flying backward!
"Detected: Host's fingers are sustaining damage and are strengthening. 1/500,000 instances required for next upgrade."
Hearing the system's voice, Yun Lang stood his ground. He hadn't expected combat to trigger finger enhancement.
After just one blow, Yun Lang's fingers had clearly become a bit harder.
Yun Lang strode forward and stood before Li Feng.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Li Feng stammered, his arm throbbing with pain, unable to lift it.
"Bear with it!"
Before Li Feng could react to Yun Lang's words, he felt a barrage of punches like a storm.
"Bang bang bang!"
Crisp sounds echoed, interspersed with tragic wails.
"Ah, Yun Lang, please spare me! I'll never bully you again!"
Li Feng begged pathetically, his face already a bloody mess.
Yun Lang felt the hardness of his fingers continuously increasing. He glanced at Li Feng and saw that he was breathing his last.
If he continued, Li Feng would likely die. Seeing Li Feng's state, Yun Lang stopped. Killing him would result in being charged with harming a fellow disciple.
Yun Lang patted Li Feng's body and found a storage ring. Upon opening it, he discovered at least a hundred Spiritual Energy Pills, which were apparently meant to be presented to Wang Long.
Without any hesitation, he took them and turned to leave.
As Yun Lang departed, Li Feng struggled to stand up, his eyes filled with venom.
"You dare to steal Wang Long's pills! He will never let you go!"
Li Feng decided to find Wang Long and report everything. Then, Wang Long would surely deal with Yun Lang.
Meanwhile, Yun Lang arrived at the Trial Tower. Currently, many people were gathered there. In three days, the outer disciple assessment would begin, and all outer disciples were striving to enter the inner sect.
If they could gain the appreciation of a peak master, they could directly ascend from an outer disciple to a personal disciple, achieving instantaneous ascent.
Yun Lang came to the Trial Tower specifically to strengthen his fingers.
Inside the Trial Tower, there were specialized puppets for disciples to train with. It was an ideal place for continuously strengthening one's fingers.
"Elder, I wish to enter the Trial Tower!"
An elder sat by the Trial Tower. Upon hearing Yun Lang's words, he calmly stated, "Three Spiritual Energy Pills per hour!"
Yun Lang did not hesitate. He directly produced nine Spiritual Energy Pills. Fortunately, he had snatched Wang Long's pills; otherwise, he could only cultivate for an hour at most.
Nine Spiritual Energy Pills were enough for him to cultivate for three hours.
"Take this token. If you encounter danger, you can be teleported out directly!"
Yun Lang took the token and said, "Thank you, Elder!"
The Trial Tower consisted of nine floors. The first floor corresponded to the third level of Qi Condensation, while the second floor reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Outer disciples generally trained on the first and second floors.
After receiving the token, Yun Lang entered the Trial Tower. As soon as he stepped inside, the surrounding puppets immediately launched their attacks.
Without any hesitation, he clenched his fist and struck!
"Bang bang bang!"
Muffled sounds echoed, and the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind!
"Fingers are sustaining damage and continuously strengthening. 200/500,000 instances required for next upgrade."
At the same time, from the outer disciples' residences, Wang Long's roar erupted!
