Jiangnan City.
Han's Study Room.
"Even in concealment there lies logic, not all in a humble dwelling are without merit. The god-given talents must not be wasted, who can afford to be dust like the decayed?"
"Ding! 'Not all in a humble dwelling are without merit', password correct. System activation in progress, host physical check, progress 10%, 20%, 30%..."
Han Feng's voice had just dropped when a crisp prompt sounded in his brain.
This sound suddenly scared Han Feng, but he quickly jumped up from his chair excitedly, "Damn, even reciting a poem can activate the system, this foolish thing..."
"100%... Check completed. Host's name: Han Feng, age: 18, physical baseline indicator: 5, welcome to use this 'Unlimited Comprehension System 2.0', starting to load the page... start the tutorial for beginners..."
"Swoosh ..."
A series of prompt sounds echoed in Han Feng's mind, immediately following which, a cyan light flew from his finger and settled in his brow. In the next moment, Han Feng found a virtual screen in front of him.
The screen was divided into two parts. The left side was an image of Han Feng's body. This image was not just drawn for fun but to highlight the condition of the meridians under his skin. If you look closely, you'll see a faint blue line following Han Feng's posture, drawing a Heaven's cycle.
"Is that... the almost negligible internal strength inside me?" Han Feng murmured, moving his eyes to the right half of the screen. There were nearly a hundred items of basic information about Han Feng, including his name, gender, height, weight, including his cultivation, strength, agility and so on.
"Unlimited Comprehension System, not all in a humble dwelling are without merit... humble dwelling..._hero..." Looking at this system whose function he was completely clueless about, Han Feng's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Clenching his fists tightly, he seemed to have understood why he came to this world.
"System, didn't you say you're going to start the beginner's tutorial? Start quickly!"
"Ding! Received host's request, starting the beginner tutorial."
"Detection shows host owns 'Bagua Palm: Revised Edition' secret script, can simulate optimization, do you want to choose optimization?"
"Yes!" Han Feng didn't hesitate to select the confirm button - was that even a question? He had been waiting all these years for someone to activate his cheat!
Han Feng's excitement had a reason. He was a man who had traveled through time. In his previous life, he lived in a modern city where technology evolved rapidly. After time-travelling, he still lived in a modern city. The only difference was he went from being an unknown commoner to becoming a member of a super-rich family.
Plus, he was only six years old in the new timeline. Initially Han Feng thought he'd be successful in this different world given the advantage of having experienced two lives, one of them in a wealthy background.
Only after understanding the new world, did he genuinely get dumbfounded. The current world he was in still had technology, and it was no less than his previous one, but beyond technology was an existence of higher prestige—cultivation!
In terms of cultivation, Han Feng was nothing more than rubbish.
"The 'Eight Trigrams Palm: Improved Version' will now begin to be optimized."
"Optimization complete, the 'Eight Trigrams Palm: Improved Version' has been optimized to 'Pre-heaven Eight Trigrams Secret Manuscript', Grade: High Yellow Level."
Two consecutive prompts lit up on the screen without giving Han Feng a chance to react.
"The optimization was this fast?" Han Feng was almost shocked out of his wits!
It was a known fact that each martial arts secret manuscript was the crystallized wisdom of predecessors. It was not like cabbage that could be altered as one pleased. Not to mention, as its name implied, 'Eight Trigrams Palm: Improved Version' was already improved on the original basis.
Further optimization was equivalent to a second improvement - the difficulty of which could well be imagined!
Swallowing his saliva, Han Feng opened the secret manuscript full of doubt and began to read every single word.
"Holy moly, this technique is super powerful!"
Having read just one-third of the content, Han Feng couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of excitement.
"Due to my inherent talent, I had previously been unable to sense the qi, so my family could only let me cultivate external strength. That 'Eight Trigrams Palm: Improved Version', although not the top-level physical cultivation method within the family, was easier to grasp. It was fast in cultivation and moderately powerful - one could say it was a first-rate technique as well."
"But even so, compared to the system-optimized 'Pre-Heaven Eight Diagrams Secret Manual,' the difference is literally like heaven and earth!"
"Furthermore, the once Bagua Palm was merely a palm technique, but after optimization, it has become a comprehensive external power body training method, 'Pre-Heaven Eight Diagrams Secret Manual.'.. Once mastered, steel bones and iron muscles will be achieved; hefting a tripod single-handedly would be a piece of cake! Moreover, it even provides an extremely powerful self-healing ability. Because of the condensation of the Pre-Heaven Eight Diagrams within the body, the user will have a certain degree of poison resistance."
"The most important thing is..." Han Feng suddenly began to grin idiotically, glancing at his little brother smugly, "this extremely tough and yang power-based method will enhance one's yang qi, thereby significantly strengthening certain functions, no matter if it is hardness or durability..."
Wiping off the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Han Feng continued to read. The 'Pre-Heaven Eight Diagrams Secret Manual' had more than three thousand characters, Han Feng quickly skimmed through it. However, after finishing, he became dispirited again.
"Although this secret manual is good, even regarded to the level of 'god,' it is not much different from chicken ribs to me... Even after practicing the 'Bagua Palm-Modified Edition' for ten years, I still couldn't make a small achievement. With this speed, even the best martial arts secret manual is nonetheless useless!"
Sitting slumpingly in the chair with a sense of depression, Han Feng resignedly tugged at his hair.
At this moment, a new prompt sounded in his mind: "Ding! The host has saved the method into the database, would you like to start using cultivation points for rapid learning?"
"Database? Rapid learning? Cultivation points?" Han Feng took less than a second to comprehend, he sprang up from the chair excitedly as if seeing hope again, "What do all these mean?"
"Ding, opening user manual..."
"Ding! Help manual 33rd term: Database, also known as external martial arts storage grid, external memory storage, an automatic collecting and organizing file cabinet of the system."
"Ding! Help manual 49th term: Cultivation points, the host can obtain these by completing certain events. When the host uses cultivation points to learn martial arts, they can immediately master the method and gain the corresponding abilities."
"Holy smokes, there's this function?" Han Feng was overjoyed on the spot, almost bouncing up to the ceiling, "If I can instantly learn the martial arts, that means, from today on, my natural talent is just ornamental. It doesn't matter how difficult the martial arts is, I can handle it easily!"
"Hahaha, damn, I'm on a roll!" Han Feng was utterly thrilled, it took a while before he remembered to check how many cultivation points he had.
