Overpowered Yuan Ren

When Yuan Ren woke up, he noticed intense pain coursing through his body. Recalling the events before he fainted, he quickly sat up and surveyed his surroundings.

"So it's not a dream. Am I really in an alternate world?" Yuan Ren muttered to himself, trying to make sense of the situation. The voice of the system echoed in his mind, reminding him of its existence.

"If I remember correctly, there was a voice claiming to be a system," Yuan Ren pondered. Curiosity getting the better of him, he attempted to call out to the system.

"System, activate!" Yuan Ren exclaimed, waiting eagerly for a response. However, a minute passed, and nothing happened.

"Strange. Why isn't it working? Did I say it wrong?" Yuan Ren questioned himself, perplexed by the lack of response. Determined to activate the system, he tried various other phrases.

"System, I summon you!"

"System, come forth!"

Yuan Ren attempted different methods of activation, but all ended in disappointment. He racked his brain for another approach.

"This is my last attempt. If it fails, then the system must be false," Yuan Ren mumbled, preparing himself. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "System, come!"

Ding... The system activated.

Overjoyed by his success, Yuan Ren leapt up in excitement. After checking the system window, he was hit by a wave of hunger, reminding him that he hadn't eaten since he leapt from the peaks. Additionally, he had no idea how many hours or days he had been unconscious.

"System, is there anything to eat in this forest?" Yuan Ren inquired, his weakened cultivation amplifying his hunger. Normally, cultivators could last for weeks without food, and the strong ones could endure for a year. However, Yuan Ren hadn't started cultivating yet, making his hunger unbearable.

Ding... The Death Forest is the territory of low-level corrupted beasts. The weakest beasts are lion newts, at the Awakened God level, while the strongest is the Silver Wolf King, at the peak of the Awakened God level.

Yuan Ren pondered for a moment and decided to open his status window. "Open status window," he called out, but nothing happened. He tried numerous ways to access it, but all ended in failure.

Yuan Ren scratched his head and chuckled wryly. "System, how can I display my status window?" Seeking guidance from the system seemed to be his only option.

Ding... "Display status window."

A status window materialized before Yuan Ren's eyes.

Yuan Ren silently cursed at the system. "If you had just given me all the commands earlier, I wouldn't have needed to utter those nonsensical words," he thought, feeling a twinge of embarrassment. If someone had witnessed his

attempts, they would have surely burst into laughter.

Yuan Ren examined his status window and noticed that his race was listed as "Demon." Confusion flickered across his face as his thoughts wandered.

"System, am I a demon or a human?" Yuan Ren asked, seeking clarification.

Ding... You generated your own body, so the blood that flows within you is that of a demon.

Yuan Ren nodded, quickly comprehending the explanation. Lost in his thoughts, he felt his hunger grow more unbearable. Seeking relief, he turned to the system once again.

"System, what are the chances of victory against the weakest beast here?" Yuan Ren questioned boldly.

Ding... With your current strength at the Awakened God Realm 0, the chance of obtaining victory is 100% against a single beast, 50% against two beasts, and 0% against a group.

"System, help me locate a corrupted beast," Yuan Ren requested, determined.

Locating... Locating complete.

Generating... Generating guide.

An arrow appeared above the air, hovering above Yuan Ren's head. It served as the guide generated by the system. After following the arrow for a few minutes, Yuan Ren's eyes lit up as he discovered a cave. At its entrance stood a lone beast resembling a lion, but not quite. Covered in brown fur, it had long, sharp claws capable of tearing flesh, and it was roughly the size of a dog.

Yuan Ren picked up a dozen stones and threw them at the beast, attempting to provoke it. Finally, one stone hit its right eye, causing the beast to look in the direction of the impact and charge with bloodshot red eyes. Realizing his plan had succeeded, Yuan Ren unleashed a surge of battle intent.

"Bloodlust, activate!" Yuan Ren shouted, utilizing one of his skills. His strength and speed underwent a tremendous change. Charging towards the beast, he delivered a powerful punch to its face, effortlessly overpowering it. The beast stumbled backward, emitting a strange shriek. Not allowing it time to recover, Yuan Ren dashed forward and kicked its belly. The beast crashed heavily to the ground, blood spilling from its mouth as it struggled to rise due to its severe injuries.

Yuan Ren approached the fallen beast, delivering a crushing blow to its head, shattering its skull. The beast let out its final cry before succumbing to death.

Relieved to see the beast no longer struggling, Yuan Ren let out a sigh. Due to his hunger, he swiftly dismembered the beast's body, collected a pile of sticks, and ignited them with a flick of his fingers. The sticks caught fire, and he proceeded to roast the beast meat, attracting the attention of other lower-level beasts. Showing respect to the fallen beast, Yuan Ren brought a large chunk of meat to his mouth and took a satisfying bite. The roasted meat filled his mouth, and he chewed quickly, roasting and devouring one piece after another until only a pile of bones remained.

With each bite, Yuan Ren could feel his hunger gradually dissipating. Upon finishing the last piece of beast meat, he noticed that he had grown slightly stronger, which puzzled him. Seeking an explanation, he turned to the system.

Ding... Eating the beast meat provides benefits to cultivators of the same level.

Surprised by the revelation, Yuan Ren immediately asked the system to help him locate more beasts. Consuming their meat would enhance his strength. From that day onward, Yuan Ren's daily routine consisted of hunting lion newts in the Death Forest, cooking them in various ways—roasting, frying, and more—until they eventually went extinct in the area.
