The moment Aayan claimed Ruhi, the Dam'n Fucking God System activated in full force.
A pulse of ethereal energy surged through his body, unlike anything he had ever felt before. His skin tingled, his muscles burned with an intoxicating heat, and a strange golden light shimmered over both of them.
Ruhi gasped beneath him, her body arching as if responding to some unseen force. The moment their bodies connected fully, a wave of energy erupted, sending a ripple through the room. Aayan's senses sharpened, his perception stretching beyond human limits as the system processed the essence he was extracting from Ruhi.
[System Notification]
Host has successfully claimed his first harem member.
Beginning extraction of talent, bloodline, physique, and skills…
Talent Absorption:
Ruhi was not a genius, but she possessed a rare compatibility with Wind Cultivation—an affinity that most overlooked due to her weak base cultivation. As Aayan's body merged with hers, the system processed her talents and optimized them for him.
[Wind Affinity Acquired] – Aayan could now sense the movement of wind, control air currents, and even accelerate his speed by manipulating the flow around him.
[Wind Body Technique] – A passive skill that lightened his body, making his movements more agile and his reflexes sharper than ever before.
The sensation of wind dancing beneath his skin sent a shiver down Aayan's spine. It felt like he was floating, weightless yet entirely in control.
Physique Enhancement:
Ruhi's physique was ordinary, but the system didn't just copy—it improved.
[Wind-Touched Physique] – The system refined her natural bodily structure, enhancing Aayan's bone density while keeping him lean and flexible. His endurance skyrocketed, and his muscles became perfectly optimized for speed and precision combat.
Aayan could feel his body growing lighter, faster, and more efficient. Every touch, every movement carried a strange elegance that had never been there before.
Bloodline Evolution:
Ruhi's mortal bloodline was weak, but the system performed an automatic refinement.
[Pseudo Wind Spirit Bloodline] Acquired – Though not a pure spirit race, Aayan's body now contained traces of wind elemental energy, allowing him to cultivate Wind-based techniques at twice the normal speed.
His breath hitched as the transformation took place. It was as if every cell in his body was adjusting, adapting, evolving. His heartbeat aligned with the natural rhythm of the wind itself.
Cultivation Boost:
As their bodies intertwined, Aayan's previously stagnant cultivation surged forward.
[Qi Absorption Rate Increased] – With Ruhi as his first partner, his ability to gather Qi from the environment doubled. His meridians expanded, his dantian absorbed Qi at an unnatural speed, and the cultivation barrier he had faced shattered under the system's influence.
Ding!
[Host has advanced from Body Tempering Stage 2 to Stage 4!]
Aayan clenched his jaw, suppressing a moan as raw power flooded his meridians. The once sluggish flow of Qi rushed through his veins like a river in a storm, strengthening him from the inside out.
Skill Acquisition:
A sudden influx of Ruhi's combat experience surged into Aayan's mind.
[Wind Blade Technique] Learned – A fast, precise sword skill that utilized wind energy to slice through opponents.
[Silent Steps] Acquired – A movement technique that allowed him to erase his presence, making him undetectable unless someone was significantly stronger.
Visions of Ruhi's struggles, training, and battles flashed before his eyes, her techniques becoming his own as if he had spent years mastering them.
He exhaled sharply.
This was true power.
Aftermath: The Dawn of a New Aayan
When the energy surge finally settled, Aayan opened his eyes—only to find Ruhi trembling beneath him, her own cultivation weakened but her eyes dazed with pleasure and confusion.
She had sensed it too.
Something about Aayan had changed.
His body, once frail and weak, now radiated a dangerous aura. His once dull eyes glowed with newfound confidence and power. Even the air around him seemed to bend to his will.
Ruhi, breathless, reached up to touch his face. "Aayan… what just happened?"
He smirked.
"I just became something more."
