"Integration complete".
"Host can now have Xin Zhao physique"
"Acquired passive ability determination, Xin Zhao spear, Xin Zhao technique scripture"
When Michael heard the constant announcement of the system, he immediately focus his attention to himself then used his skill appraisal and rows of information appear in front of Michael.

Strength: 1

When Michael looks at the changes on his status panel, he immediately focus his attention on his ability information and a row of additional information appear beside determination.
Determination – every attack of the host using spear will have an additional 20% and improve the host healing abilities by 30%.
While reading the information beside the skill, Michael excited expression cannot hide his face.
"System why does the skill differ from the original skill on the game?" asked by Michael while continuously looking at the panel" system response: the game was only serving as a reference there would be a difference on the skill created by the system to the original skill on the game"
"That is more reasonable" said by Michael while thinking the difference between the original skill and the system given since every third hit will comes to affect the ability in the original skill so that is unrealistic, then he changes his attention to the cultivation given by the system.
Xin Zhao Scripture – a system created scripture which was based on the in-game skill of the character Xin Zhao as reference, cultivating this manual will give the host twice the normal experience gained when killing enemies. Additionally, host can acquire the skill of Xin Zhao when host reach lvl5, 10, 15, and 18 in the mastery of the skill.
"18? Huh the same as max level of a character in the game and the max level up of the ult of the hero" Michael murmured" then system how can I cultivate this scripture?"
"Replying to host, to study the scripture the host need to follow the set of movement in the scripture, the system will guide the host in practicing the scripture"
"So, this also system guided! System how many experiences I will gain in every monster that I will kill?" eagerly asked by Michael.
"Replying to host, it depends upon the rarity of the monster and the level of the monster", "if the rarity of monster of common then the exp gained is the same as killing a human of the same level (1exp), if the rarity is rare then the experience that will gain will be doubled".
"That is more convenient, lets start immediately in practicing" then Michael immediately opens the scripture.
as Michael open the scripture a holographic image appear, inside is a small mannequin with a shape of a man holding a spear and standing facing Michael.
"Uh, system I think there's something wrong with this scripture. Isn't it supposed to be contained of pictures and written words then I will follow the instructions and gain enlightenment from learning it?" then Michael poke the little mannequin.
"System reply, the system scripture was created by the system itself so the final product will be different from the normal scripture"," another thing is the system make it in holographic picture for the host to shorten the time to study the essence of every movement to start the mannequin the host needs to think that the mannequin to move the same as you command to forward, rewind and stop the movement of the mannequin"," moreover the scripture can only be learned by the host"
"So, it is like that" then the mannequin starts to swing the spear on its hand when Michael finish watching the performance of the mannequin, he immediately tried to imitate the movement and suddenly a golden spear appear on his hand, Michael inspects the spear thinking that the spear looks too dominating and expensive to the point that it was a pity to use to stab things and should be use to hang at the house to brag to others.
he appraised the spear.
Weapon: Xin Zhao spear (common)(evolvable)
Owner: Michael
Ability: ignore defense when used to stab
Damage: +100%
speed: +100%
Healing: +20%
"System what does this +100% means?"
"Replying to host this means that the base damage of host will gain an additional 100% when using the spear as well as the movement and attack speed then 20% the healing when the host is injured. Additionally, the host can recall the spear whenever he throws it, since it is already bonded to the host"
Michael expression brighten and immediately used the spear to practice the scripture. When Michael finished performing the set of movement he was continuously sweating and breathing heavily. the voice of the system appears and immediately give its comment.
"Host movement is lousy, requesting host to add more power and speed to every swing and observe a proper footstep"
Michael inwardly cursed "practicing this manual is really taxing I just performed it once and I was sweating a bucket, then this system didn't appreciate my effort", Michael looks at the spear and said to himself that after he gained mastery, he will immediately stab someone to loosen some steam.
Michael continued to performed the scripture movements and after 2 hours of practice Michael heard the system announcement.
"Host mastery of Xin Zhao scripture turned Lvl 1"
Michael suddenly stops and appraise his status.
Host: Michael
Race: Human
Ability: Determination
Level: 1 (low level apprentice)
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Vitality: 2
Skills: none
Cultivation: Xin Zhao scripture (Lvl 1)
Exp: 0 / 50
Michael was shock on the changes in his status. Then he concluded that every leveling up of mastery of the scripture will help him to gain more boost in status. He feels the changes in his strength as the spear weight loosen a little in his hands and his stamina was recovering faster. Michael immediately continued to practice and after three hours another announcement was heard by Michael,
"Mastery of Xin Zhao scripture turned lvl 2"
Then he immediately looks at the changes in his status panel.
Host: Michael
Race: Human
Ability: Determination
Level: 1 (low level apprentice)
Strength: 3
Speed: 3
Vitality: 3
Skills: none
Cultivation: Xin Zhao scripture (Lvl 2)
Exp: 0 / 50
After looking at his status, Michael immediately lay on the ground while panting and catching his breath. He was facing at the sky while grinning even though he continuously practice the scripture for more than 5 hours, he was glad that he was able to feel more energetic and stronger that his previous self. After an hour of resting, Michael stamina came back to normal.
he noticed that the sky is starting to turn grey and his stomach start to grumble when suddenly heard the voice of the system appeared.
"The host was given his first mission"
Mission: the host need to reach the single horned rabbit cave on the north and kill 5 single horned rabbits. Progress (0/5) time limit: 1:59:59
Reward: 5 packs of sweet bread, 1 container of water and 3 points
Michael reviews the mission and get interested on the reward "system why does the reward turn to bread and water? Isn't it supposed to be an addition exp or boost in damage normally"?
"System reply, the host scripture is already cut above the others and the host leveling up will be much faster than the normal cultivation of the super genius of this world so the system turns the host rewards into item in earth that can be used for host survival and necessities."
When Michael heard the announcement, he immediately realizes the logic of the system since he twice the experience than normal person of this world aside from the additional damage he gains after he improve his comprehension of the scripture. This is good news for him since he was not a local here on this world and not used to the common sense of this world. Moreover, he can also ease his worries of daily necessities and missed the food on earth.
"Then system what is the used of the points?" asked by Michael.
"The host can use the points to claim specific items needed by host as well as recipes and blue prints for production of the item that the host already receive"," this function will be available when the host reach level 5"
Michael nod on the system and think that it is really more convenient to have some blue prints and recipe for the production this item for him to not depend on the system when he run out of supply, aside from these he can try to use the materials of these world to produce a better-quality goods. then Michael start to walk to the north while on the way Michael appraise some of the fruits that can be seen and pick up some of the tasty and edible ones.
After 30 minutes of walking Michael reach the cave of the horn rabbits and saw two rabbits outside the cave. These rabbits have white fur and red eyes similar to the rabbits on earth but there is a brown horn on its forehead that about six inches long.
Michael did not immediately attack the rabbits and start to hide his body behind the tree and trying to appraise the rabbit. luckily the rabbits didn't notice Michael presence within the vicinity.
Monster: single horned rabbit
Level: 1 (common)
Ability: horn piercing (weak)
strength: 0.5
Speed: 3
Vitality: 1
When he confirmed the status of the rabbit, he observes the position of the rabbits. He noticed that the other rabbit is running at the opposite direction, he immediately throws his spear like a javelin and the spear hit the neck of the nearer rabbit.
"The host kill a white horned rabbit gained 2exp"
the vitality of the rabbit immediately lost when the rabbit was pierced by the spear. Then, Michael immediately recall the spear and the spear appear on Michael hand with the rabbit that is skewed on spear. the other rabbit didn't notice the lost of its companion since it was running on the opposite side.
