Chapter 1: The Awakening of the God-Level Adding System! Ascend to Martial Saint!

"Xiao Zhen, big brother! You're here! What class do we have today?"

At that moment, such a stunning girl dressed in traditional Tsing Yi, with a graceful figure, tilted her head as she addressed Xiao Zhen.

The girl, Lian Xiang, who stood before him, was also a student, but there was something in common that bound them closer to each other, yet still very much beyond the student-teacher relationship.

Xiao Zhen is a chiseled youth but, in his eyes, there is also a subdued maturity. He was a time traveller, and originally, his name was also Xiao Zhen.

Three years ago, he was the young master of the Xiao clan, a major clan, and a brilliant prodigy among all the young masters of Baixiao Martial Institute, Baixiao Dynasty, outclassing even all his peers.

However, when his system woke up and began to load, requiring him to absorb immense power to complete the process.

Therefore, though he was capable of ingesting Spiritual Qi, it was as if he hadn't inhaled a single thing for real; the system consumed all that he extracted.

Therefore, during the last three years he made no difference between himself and ordinary people; there was no real foundation to speak of.

Despite all this, however, his innate talent and intellect remained unsullied, and the academy invited him to serve as a mentor for these three years.

One of his pupils was Lian Xiang, his age. Their relationship should be described more adequately as merely friends, though.

She would come to him every day, bringing flowers, snacking with him, and medicinal pills every day without fail. On the day her sister Lian Hua ended their engagement, Lian Xiang shamelessly came to him, acting adorably.

The way she called him "big brother Xiao Zhen," one's ears went numb.

With a sigh, Xiao Zhen replied, "Your sister has called off the engagement. Why do you keep following me?"

Oh, my sister may not like you, but I do not! There are plenty of other suitable candidates. And if that fails, I'll marry you myself!"

Xiao Zhen fell silent.

Rubbing his temples, he looked a bit irritated.

If Lian Xiang were an ordinary girl, he wouldn't mind. However, she happened to be a top talent at the academy and the youngest daughter of the biggest family in the Baixiao Dynasty after the royal family.

In short, she was like a little princess.

She has all that identity, beauty, and extra talent that stands above all those young ladies out there.

Even her elder sister, Lian Hua, can't compete with Lian Xiang in terms of looks.

Obviously, Lian Xiang was the most beautiful girl within the Baixiao Dynasty, thus causing some kind of complications for Xiao Zhen.

It could be said that, for instance, he had to live with countless jealous and resentful emotions from various princes and noble families who felt threatened by her attention toward him.

Finally, after all, Lian Xiang was considered the most beautiful woman in the dynasty, and thus avoiding such troubles became nearly impossible.

Noticing Xiao Zhen was quiet, Lian Xiang changed the subject immediately in a playful mood. "Big brother Xiao Zhen, what class do you have today?"

"Yes, today, I will teach you how to control your breakthrough opportunities and how to seize them effectively."

Grasping the chance to break through was important; failing to do so meant waiting a long time for another opportunity, and nobody wanted to wait.

Xiao Zhen himself was only one cycle away from reaching Martial Emperor status.

This world's cultivation realms were pretty simple and were therefore grouped as such:

Warrior

Martial Master

General

Marquis

Commander

Martial Emperor

Martial Venerate

Martial Saint

Martial God

Great Emperor

Immortal Emperor

Each realm had nine cycles in a cycle.

Before, Xiao Zhen had reached Martial Commander at the ninth cycle.

Unfortunately, the system had been depleting his Spiritual Qi.

Suddenly, he was reminded by a notice of the system.

"Ding! The system is booting up, and the god-level adding system has been activated!

"The host can track on the Cultivation Base, Talent, Comprehension, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and Secret Techniques of each person within the designated area, so that they can be overlaid and added up for return."

"Any improvements to the cultivation foundation of those in the targeted area will also be transferred in full to the host."

"Currently, the host can select a 100 square meter area. That area will grow with the advancement of the system. The current level of the system is LV1."

Xiao Zhen's face remained frozen for a second, and then an expression of interest crossed it.

"Wait, all of them?"

That sounded a bit ridiculous.

Worth the three years of waiting.

The regional limitation was somewhat confining for him; he could not pin any person yet.

Then, he had the thought.

Within that very next second, he focused his line of sight in one specific direction-a classroom.

There, in that room, were the brightest young minds of the entire Baixiao Dynasty.

If he locked onto them, wouldn't that give him an awesome advantage?

Even Xiao Zhen thought for a moment before nodding. "Lock onto everyone in Class One of Baixiao Martial Institute!"

A 100 square meters was just right for that.

System: "Lock complete. The Cultivation Base, Talent, Comprehension, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and Secret Techniques of all individuals in the selected area will be fed back to the host."

As soon as the voice of the system faded, waves of energy and information started pouring towards Xiao Zhen like a tidal wave.

His aura began rising steadily, and he felt all this wealth of knowledge filling his mind.

In the blink of an eye, he absorbed it all.

"Congratulations to the host. You have been promoted to Martial Saint at the ninth cycle."

Xiao Zhen nodded in satisfaction. This system was indeed remarkable.

Beside him, Lian Xiang stared in disbelief. Did she just see her big brother Xiao Zhen in an instant radiate the aura of a Martial Saint?

Did she imagine it?
