The appearance of the Training Dummy

Shocked at this answer, Fang Hao muttered to himself: the calamity was going to occur 120 years later and 50 years have already passed, so only less than 70 years left. I don't have much time left!

Fang Hao's expression grew grave thinking about the pending apocalypse when a beep awakened him from his reverie as a notification window popped up in front him.

The Fraudster's Library is going into standby mode for full system recovery and repairing of all the corrupted data.

Estimated time for system repair - Three days two hours eighteen minutes and four seconds

New data collection can only begin after the System is fully repaired.

Starting full system repair…

"Wait dammit, stop "

*Beep*, The notification window closed with a beep without responding to Fang Hao's cries.

Amazed and angered by the uselessness of the system, he cursed: Damn that Isaac, the next time I see him he will get a punch straight to his face for investing billions in a system that only knows how to sleep.

"Truly the Fraudster's Library", Fang Hao clicked his tongue before falling into deep thought as he thought to himself: To become a bridge between both worlds, I must have sufficient influence in this world ...and in this world, only the strong are revered, So my only choice is to become stronger and stand on the same level as the decision-makers of this world to have a chance in bridging the gap between both worlds.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly remembered the past - the memories of Fang Hao before he regained his memories of Amagawa Zenko, and clicked his tongue and spoke: Damn, I was an idiotic brat in this life, becoming the champion of the Entrance Test of the Eastern Sea Sect and gaining the privilege to choose any hall of the six main halls but still choosing the Golden Carp Hall, the weakest Hall of them all just because of a rumour that it had the strongest cultivation technique among them.

Remembering this, he still couldn't help but be angry at his idiocy being swayed by rumours and selecting such a hall. Moreover, he couldn't even cultivate till the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage in these three years and was the only one stuck in the first level of Qi Condensation stage due to him not being able to gain insight not to mention cultivating the dragon spirit art and not to mention being stubborn enough to not switch to another easier technique although there were other factors also the main factor was the childish pride of a teenager.

In this world, people with supernatural abilities exist and they call themselves cultivators. The cultivators have a difference in their strength based on their stage of cultivation and levels.

The commonly known stages are- Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul.

The Qi Condensation stage is divided into nine different levels while each level further branches into Low, Mid, High and Peak.

To progress in the Qi condensation stage or to even surpass it, one needs to invest immense time and resources as well as practising a cultivation technique.

All before the Qi condensation stage are mere mortals or ordinary people; only a select few have the talent to cultivate and reach the apex of the world.

Thinking till this point, he murmured: fortunately, I was able to cultivate to the initial stage of the Dragon spirit art when my memories broke free from the depths of my mind.

After a continuous failure in trying to cultivate the dragon spirit art for three whole years, he had corroborated all the insights he gained during these three years and found that the greatest obstacles in gaining an initial mastery of this art lied in the difficulty in opening the mind to sense the flow of the worldly energy while also honing the mind to imitate the vigorous spirit of a majestic dragon.

"This Dragon spirit art truly lives up to its name as one of the most overbearing cultivation technique in the sect, merely mastering its first stage grants me more qi than a cultivator of the second level of the Qi condensation stage, not to mention the purity and strength of the qi being stronger than average although I have to further test it to find out exactly how strong it is.", Fang Hao paused for a bit before clenching his fists and murmuring firmly: it looks like mastering the Dragon Spirit Art is my gateway to the world of the strong.

While Fang Hao was deep in thought the room's door slammed open attracting his attention as three young men entered the room with the man in the center wearing a distinct emblem featuring a ferocious blue shark embroidered on their right chest, the symbol of the Blue Shark hall, the strongest hall among the six main halls.

"*Sigh*", the youngster in the middle of the trio dramatically sighed before speaking in a mocking tone: How far has the Champion of the entrance exam fallen, trying to commit suicide to escape a battle against an insignificant peasant like me.

Listening to this the other two companions of the man laughed while mocking:

"How could the once-famous genius of the great Fang clan fall to become like this over the past few years?"

"It's just a fool who considered himself a genius thinking he's better than brother Wang Chen"

Fang hao groaned internally as he listened to their contemptuous laughter: And here are the other factors, I was talking about. My previous self, after repeated bullying and mocking, had finally snapped and agreed to duel Wang Chen with the duel date being set today, this forced Fang Hao's previous self to take drastic measures with high risk to master the dragon spirit art to have any chance to win the upcoming duel or to at least not be humiliated.

"What are you here for?, I believe it's still not the time for the duel yet.", Fang Hao asked in a plain tone.

"We just came to see whether you would chicken out of the duel by making some excuses.", Wang Chen replied before adding: but it looks like you still have some backbone left, be sure to show us the dragon spirit art as well. The duel will be held in the Martial arena at 5 PM.

"I see", Fang Hao replied as he watched them return while laughing before smirking: It looks like I found the perfect training dummy to test my newfound strength.
