My Cultivation System

The sprout from the first seed turned black before turning into a speck of dust.

'What?'

Henrick became anxious when he saw that and hurriedly asked the system, 'System, do you know what happened to that plant?'

'Ding,

  Trail master is stopping me from revealing the reason for that. Please find it on your own, master.

The system notification appeared in front of him; however, it didn't explain the reason.

Instead, it suggested Henrick try finding the answer on his own.

'Damn it'

Henrick cursed as he looked at the ground.

'I need to be careful and should not allow these nine plants to be withered away,'

When he looked at the ground nine sprouts came out of the ground which made him feel hopeful again. So, he decided to focus on the nine sprouts instead of thinking about the first sprouts which died already.

'Good...good. They are growing,'

All the nine sprouts reached the same heights of around 10 centimeters making Henrick extremely happy.

'I should not stop supplying my pure internal fire energy to them,' Henrick silently muttered to himself. 

'Since they are going good...I will plant another seed and then I can exit this trial with success,' Henrick didn't stop his supply of pure internal fire energy to the nine spouts which continued to grow at an extremely slow speed as he took out another seed from the small bag and sowed it within his reach.

Soon, the seed started sprouting as it came out of the ground making Henrick extremely happy.

'Not again'

However, that happiness didn't last for long as it faded away after seeing the withering of the nine small plants.

While he was in a shocking state, the last remaining plant also withered away.

'Ding,

  Consumed 10 percent of pure internal fire energy.

'Ding,

  Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (39 percent / 200 percent)

Soon, the system notification informed him about his pure internal fire energy that gave him another heartache.

'Calm down'

Nevertheless, Henrick calmed down and thought for a moment.

'Since I can cultivate 10 seeds at the same time, I will grow them into plants and before they could wither away, I can leave from here,'

Once again, a small smile appeared on his face and without wasting any time, he directly took out the ten seeds from the small bag before repeating the process.

'I will see, how I will fail the trial this time,'

He had to cultivate at least 10 plants for the trial to be successful and with his current ability, he could grow 10 plants and as long as he continued to supply the pure internal fire energy to all the 10 seeds, they would go into plants for sure. 

So, by maintaining that supply, he could retire from the trial room.

As for after leaving the trial room, who cares where the plants would wither or not.

'Swoosh'

Soon, 10 sprouts shoot up from the ground and after reaching a certain height, the speed at which they grow became extremely slow.

'This height should be enough for them to be called plants,' Henrick was satisfied with the growth of the 10 seeds and thought, 'Trail master, I have cultivated 10 plants. Come and check for yourselves.'

Soon, he called the trial master to check the 10 plants.

'Ding,

  The challenger willingly requested the trial master to end the trial.

'Ding, 

  Checking the plants cultivated by the challenger.

'Phew'

Henrick heaved a sigh of relief because the trial master called them plants. So, he already passed the trial by 50 percent.

After the first two system notifications, a small light fell on the plants one by one and a small holographic screen appeared in front of him which changed from '0/10', '1/10'.....

Whenever the light fell on a new plant, the number increased.

'Looks like my plan is working,'

Henrick felt excited because he was almost sure that the starting numbers was the number of plants that were accepted by the trial master.

Soon, the light fell on the last plant and the number finally reached '10/10'

'Finally, the trial is completed,'

Henrick felt very happy with the successful completion of the trial; however, with all the excitement, Henrick lost focus on the pure internal fire energy supply of the plants.

'Ding,

  All the plants are ok...not okay.

'Ding,

  The challenger failed the trial.

All of a sudden, all the excitement inside him disappeared with the next set of system notifications before just when the trial master was about to declare the completion of the trial, all ten plants withered away.

'What?'

'How can this be...Damn it,'

Henrick cursed himself for being too excited before even the trial was successfully completed.

He didn't even think in his wildest dreams that something like that happened.

'Ii was about to complete the trial. It was within my reach,'

Henrick was unable to calm down as he continuously muttered to himself.

'Ding,

  Transferring the challenger to the main hall of the inheritance building.

Soon, the final system notification appeared in front of him informing him about his teleportation back to the main hall.

'Wait. Give me….,'

'Swoosh'

Before he could finish his sentence Henrick was teleported back to the main hall of the inheritance building.

'Sigh'

After returning back to the main hall, Henrick didn't do anything except sighing at his own excitement.

'How much time left for the ascending trial?'

Since he completed one of his daily trials, he could not ask for more trials from the trial master until he finished his ascending trial. So, he asked how much time was left for that trial.

'Okay then, I will focus on the daily missions,'

Henrick just wanted to shift his focus onto something otherwise, he would continuously remember about the failed trial. So, he chose to complete the daily missions.

…..

After two hours,

In a flash, two hours passed by.

'Ding,

  The ascending trial for the level 0 challenger is now available.

'Huh? Two hours are over already?'

Henrick was surprised as he didn't notice the flow of time while completing the daily missions.

'Anyway, I completed the daily missions too,'

Henrick stood up from the floor as he started walking towards the center of the main hall because it was the standard rule whenever the trial master gives him a trial.

'Ding,

  Completed all three daily missions. The reward will be given at the end of the day. Patiently wait for the rewards.

Just before he reached the center of the main hall, he received the daily missions' completed system notification which Henrick didn't even bother to glance at.

'Trial master, I am ready to go into trial room number 11,'

Henrick still remembered the trial room number of the ascending trial. So, he said that he was ready to go into the trail room.

'Ding,

  If the challenger fails the trial once again, he needs to wait for at least a month to re-challenge it. So, are you sure about challenging the trial now?

The trial master warned him about the trial and asked for his confirmation.

'Yes. I am ready,'

Of course, Henrick nodded his head as he was waiting for this day for a while now.
