Destiny Or Coincidence

Tian Feng patiently repeated the process of the Qi gathering technique. Four hours later, he has pretty much mastered the technique and executed it effortlessly, but he noticed a problem.

According to the technique, the Qi that he absorbed would be stored in his body, and he should be able to feel it. However, after four hours of continuous absorption, he still couldn't sense anything in his body.

It was like pouring water into a bottomless bucket. Those Qi simply vanished after lingering for a few moments. Unable to find any feasible explanation, he decided to halt his cultivation to discuss this with his father first.

The moment he halted his cultivation, he suddenly felt a powerful vibration inside his head. Dizziness took over his mind, and he collapsed onto his bed.

Everything became absolutely dark, but Tian Feng remained fully conscious.

"Ding...System Activated"

"Ding...Scanning Host Body"

"Ding...Loading Data"

Tian Feng was shocked senseless with this development. Just as he lost all hope of getting a cheat system, he got a cheat system. His consciousness exclaimed in disbelief. "What!? I got a system?"

What a pity! Nobody can hear his voice right now. At this moment, the system's notification continued to ring ceaselessly.

"Ding...Scanning completed. Integration Successful."

"Ding...Loading Data Failed. Insufficient Power."

"Ding...Welcome to Immortal System"

"Ding...Retry Data Loading?"

Tian Feng hasn't recovered from his shock yet. He was still completely frozen because everything was way too surreal.

When he was looking for it, it was nowhere to be found, yet it showed itself before him when he stopped looking.

Only after a while did his emotion became a bit more stabilized then he recalled all the notification from the system.

"Retry!" he commanded it through his consciousness.

Immediately after he shouted out the command, his vision returned, and the darkness disappeared. He can finally felt his body and limbs again.

In that instant, he felt a light breeze brushing his face. He thought it was strange since he was in his room. Hence, there wasn't supposed to be wind. However, before he could finish his thought, the breeze got stronger. For a moment, he got a feeling that he was a sinkhole.

Due to the excessive amount of Qi entering his body, his sense of Qi automatically activated.

What he saw stunned him yet again.

All kind of Qi in the atmosphere was rushing toward his small body. It was being sucked into his body through every pore at an extremely high speed.

One hour later, the Qi in the surrounding got exhausted; not even a speck could be found.

"Ding...Loading Data Successful."

"Ding...Congratulations! The host received a beginner's gift pack. Would you like to open?"

Then Tian Feng felt his consciousness being dragged into a confined space where he could see a table of inventory just like inside a game.

At this moment, a confused voice could be heard. It was the voice of the system's notification. Except that it didn't sound robotic anymore. "Ehhh! Who are you? Why am I inside a boy? Where's my female mas..."

Half of the sentences, the voice stopped abruptly, as if she had just realized something. A series of memory is being recovered, and she gradually became depressed as she looked at those memories.

The scene when she ran out of power and lost control over her body.

The feeling of despair as the automated procedure was executed to select the useless male as its master just because it didn't have enough power to chase after its rightful master.

After a while, she recovered and sighed. "Fate really works mysteriously."

She peered right into Tian Feng's destiny only to see nothing. There were only two reasons this could happen. The first one was that the person was immensely powerful beyond heaven. The second was that the person was utterly useless with no noticeable future. In either case, it was rare to see this kind of person.

She heaved another long sigh and activated autonomous mode before going to hide in the dept of Tian Feng consciousnesses to heal her broken heart. Apparently, she needed some time to recover.

Tian Feng was still baffled. After waiting for a while and there's still nothing, so he decided to open the gift pack first.

"Open the gift pack."

The gift pack disappeared replaced with five items. There were three books, one pill and one set of clothes.

"Ding...Low Power"

Tian Feng hurriedly checked out the three books. It was Qi Gathering Technique, Qi Condensation Technique, and Wind Movement Technique. He tapped on the Qi Gathering Technique. The book disappeared, and the content of the book flowed into his mind.

Afterward, he was forcefully ejected from the system.

"Ding...On standby mode."

Knowing that he just needed to absorb more Qi for the system, Tian Feng didn't panic. Instead, he got out of bed and went to the backyard. The sun was about to rise. Tian Feng found a comfortable place before getting into the lotus position.

After this, he went through the new Qi Gathering a few times. It didn't take him too long to comprehend this new technique since the system has basically spoon-fed it to him. The only reason he still went through it was to understand it proactively as well as to learn the difference between his two techniques.

Half an hour later, he began his cultivation.

All kinds of Qi rushed into his body, entering through his pores and stay inside him. If one looked at Tian Feng from far away, he would appear as a Blackhole of the world's Qi.

Among the many realms of cultivation, the Mortal realm was considered to be the first one.

Qi gathering was not considered a realm nor a stage. It was merely a prerequisite for stepping into the cultivation road. However, the system state otherwise. According to the Qi Gathering book from the system, Qi Gathering was considered the first stage of the Mortal realm.

This left Tian Feng feeling a bit puzzled, but he decided not to think much at his current level.

Two hours had passed. Tian Feng sensed that the Qi in his surroundings had nearly exhausted again. Thus, he halted his cultivation for the time being. Standing up, he felt like his body was filled with energy.

Time for breakfast.

Hong Xing was startled when she didn't see Tian Feng in his room this morning. Luckily, Tian Feng heard his mom's call and immediately return from the backyard.

Tian Lang's jaw was still dropped since he saw his son this morning. It had only been several hours since he imparted his cultivation technique to his son, yet Tian Feng was already at the peak of Qi Gathering in the next morning.

Looking at the small body brimming with energy, it seemed like his son was already on the verge of a breakthrough to Qi Condensation any time now.

Although Tian Lang felt stifled when thinking of his own cultivation experiences, he still managed to ask Tian Feng for an explanation. However, his son simply said, "This...It's hard to explain. Can I tell you later?"

Hence, Tian Lang can only hold in his curiosity for the time being.

It was not that Tian Feng didn't want to tell his father, but he simply didn't know how to begin. As a result, he decided not to say anything for the time being. At the same time, he also asked his father for a place that was rich in spiritual energy.
