[Would you like to comprehend Storm Steps?]

[Yes] [No]

Seeing this message, Fu Chen stared at the panel for a moment. Then, he slowly closed the book and the message suddenly disappeared.

Then, he reopened it and the message reappeared in front of him. He closed it once again and the message disappeared like before. Then, he opened it once again, and with a panel, a big smile appeared on his face.

“Are you okay?” Miss Xue walked near him and asked with a little bit of concern on her face. She was confused by his behavior.

“Ahh! I am fine. I was very excited to hold the martial art for the first time.” Fu Chen trembled for a moment and quickly calmed down as he replied with a lie.

“Alright then! I will go out for an hour until then you can try to comprehend it. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me once I return.” Miss Xue nodded her head and finally left the room.

Fu Chen quickly ran to the door and closed it.

“Ysla, can you come out?” Fu Chen immediately called out for Ysla since he had a lot of questions in his mind.

Ysla immediately came out of his forehead and said “Host, if you want to ask anything, you can communicate to me with your thoughts. so that I don’t need to come out every single time.”

“Ahh! Sorry, I didn’t know about that.” Fu Chen quickly apologized.

Ysla sighed and said “It’s okay! You can ask me to do anything as long as it doesn’t break the rules, so no need to apologize. Anyway, what do you want to know?”

“Miss Xue displayed a new martial art to me but I was unable to copy it even though that function was activated. But then when I opened this martial art book, a new panel appeared in front of him asking if I want to comprehend this martial art. Can you explain what’s going on here?” Fu Chen asked.

“Well, it’s normal that you don’t know about this. First, unlike Zhu Tan, Miss Xue’s powers are way higher. For the system to analyze her without being detected is quite hard. So, it would take a long time to copy it. But there is another reason. It needs to analyze two aspects. First, it analyzes the foundation, and then it analyzes experience. Unfortunately, the foundation is hard to analyze from powerhouses. As for your second point, it is also simple.”

“System allows you to learn anything you want as long as you have the source material. This means if you have cultivation technique or martial art, you can instantly comprehend it but it will only be basic.”

“And unlike copy-past function, you can’t improve fast with your talent unless you use Skill Points or copy someone’s comprehension,” Ysla explained.

Fu Chen nodded his head as he understood more about the system but another question emerged in his head.

“So, how do I earn Skill Points except for the Quest? I don’t think I would be able to finish the quest now.”

Ysla shook her head and said “There is no other way. The only way to earn Stat Points and Skill Points is by completing the quest. There was an EXP function but it was removed.”

“And, now the only way to obtain energy which can be converted to skill points and stat points is by completing quests. Of course, there is a way to acquire more quests.”

“You just need to create hard situations. Like if you go out and challenge a Second Stage cultivator for the battle, then you could unlock a quest. If you take an initiative to create a hard situation for yourself then you can obtain the quest or else you can simply wait for those situations.”

Hearing her words, Fu Chen sighed with bitterness. If he could earn skill points and stat points through different methods then it would be a lot easier.

“Don’t look so sad! I might be able to help you here.” Ysla saw his sad mood and tried to comfort him. She closed her eyes for a moment and a few seconds later, a new panel appeared in front of him.

Time- Two hours]

“Wait what? She is just eighteen?” Fu Chen was shocked and stunned by her age.

Seeing his reaction, Ysla looked at him with confusion and asked “Host, aren’t you excited to win her interest?”

“What? Interest? You mean if I complete this quest, she might get interested in me. How is that even possible? Aren’t you suppose to be interested in a person whom you are going to marry?” Fu Chen didn’t plan to get involved so he pretended to lack knowledge about this.

Ysla was speechless for a moment.

“Host, first you need to have the interest in a girl only then you can marry her.”

“But, I thought it was your parents who choose the girl for you. I can’t go against my parent’s Will. What if they don’t like her?” Fu Chen questioned her.

Hearing his question, Ysla slapped her forehead and turned silent for a moment.

While she turned silent, Fu Chen completely forgot about that topic instead his mind started sprouting more thoughts about Miss Xue’s talent.

‘Damn! She is only eighteen and she is already the Top Inner-Door Disciple? I am just two years younger than her and I am not even an Outer-Door Disciples. Damn it! Just how big is our gap?’

Fu Chen was completely aware of the power gap between inner disciples and outer disciples. If Outer-Door Disciples are Foundation Establishment cultivators then Inner-Door Disciples are True Essence Realm cultivators. And, she was at the top of it.

This poured an immense pressure on his shoulder. Just when he awakened the martial spirit to walk on the path of cultivation, he faced an immense wall in front of him.

‘No Chen, you can still catch up to her. You can still get strong as her, especially with this system. I won’t slack ever again. I will get strong, stronger than her. Yes, it is my goal now.’

‘There is no need to make a big goal. My first goal is to surpass her in strength.’

“Host! Host, are you listening?” Only when he clenched his fist with determination and goal in his mind, did he hear a voice calling him.

“Sorry Ysla, I was busy thinking something..” Fu Chen immediately apologized after seeing her pouting.

“Host, you need to keep your mind calm. Don’t think too much about it! There is no way your parents will reject a charming and talented girl like Miss Xue. Instead, you should focus on how to win her heart.”

“After all, winning her interest only means she will keep an eye on you even after this finishes. So, you must do more than that like take her on a date or even help her in different circumstances.” Ysla sighed and tried to comfort him.

But, she only got a confused look from Fu Chen.

“What are you talking about? I and Miss Xue are impossible. I mean someone with such talent won’t come from a small family. I bet she is from Royal Capital.”

“And, from an early age, I was taught to keep my distance from such girls. If I don’t then, they will bring trouble to my parents. If it was just me, then it wouldn’t matter. But, unfortunately, the higher class family will never allow their child to marry the lower class family.”

“My family is just a mortal family. Almost every girl in this sect has better background than me even if their father is the guard of the sect. So, let’s not talk about us being together.”

“I am just happy with the first two rewards.” Fu Chen shook his head and declined her idea instantly. He wasn’t going to waste his time following a girl when he use that time to train.

Ysla stared at him for a long time and then thought ‘Maybe his hormones aren’t fully turned on now. Otherwise, there is no way he wouldn’t try. Well, I should just wait until he finally needs a girl before giving him any love advice.’

Thinking so, she returned back to his body, and just when she entered, she spoke.

“By the way, you can also control the system with your voice and thoughts command. And, if you want to know your current status, then just call out ‘Status’!”

Fu Chen nodded his head and thought ‘Yes’

The next moment, the panel in front of him disappeared and his eyes shut tight. An immense knowledge entered his mind and his body started sweating. After five minutes, he finally calmed down with a new memory of new martial art in his mind.

He took a deep breath and said.

“Status!”
