Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

In the blink of an eye, another 3 days quietly passed by.

Inside the cave, in order for Roland to get used to his new profound strength and for the group to recover and reach their peak condition, they decide to stop and relax for a while, causing them to spend an additional 3 days within the cave.

Shing... Boom!

Light flashed by followed by the sound of a weak explosion spreading toward the silent cavern.

Cough, cough.

Coughing intensely upon inhaling a large amount of dust, Leo pans his hand in the surroundings, instantly scattering the dust toward the atmosphere.

Below him, the ground seems to suffer an intense burning, making it look extremely black and charred.

D*mn! How could practicing the "Mana/Qi thread" skill could be extremely hard!?

Not only it was extremely hard to practice but every time he failed, the mana thread would immediately explode, making Leo extremely annoyed as his face became extremely messy as time passed by!

Again! I will not stop until I achieve a small mastery of this technique! I don't believe that I will still fail after another 20 tries!

Leo thought, on his face, a determined look appeared. If he didn't learn this skill, the advancement of his class job would be delayed. It's something that Leo wants and must avoid!

Sigh.

"Sigh, if this skill is not required to create a puppet, I will never use/practice this skill. Not only does it take a large amount of Qi to practice, but it also consumes one's mental energy."

F*ck! What am I thinking again? Oh, right I should start practicing this skill!

Leo shook his head to disperse those unnecessary thoughts inside his mind. Focusing his eyes on his pointed finger, Leo began to manipulate the Qi inside his heart and body, controlling the Qi to go to his pointed finger...

Shing!

In an instant, his pointed finger glowed with white light akin to a glow stick as it momentarily blinded his eyes.

"This is the part... Where the difficulty could be said 10× than the previous step "

Leo thought solemnly before molding the Qi on his finger into a thin thread. Although it seems so easy if Leo thought of it...

However, in truth molding a Qi was never been easy.

In an instant, another minute passed by. Leo's head already becomes slightly dizzy as the Qi on his finger becomes thinner (only larger than his pinky finger), although it seems thinner than before, the Qi thread is still far from the technique satisfactory and requirements in able for it to become usable in creating a puppet!

Soon, finally unable to hold on, the Qi on his fingertip instantly became unstable before popping with black smoke followed by a weak explosion that covered Leo's face.

Ding!

-1 health!

Ding!

[Congratulations upon slightly increasing the host control and mastery of Qi!

+1 Qi power!

+2 Qi Storage! ]

...

Cough... Cough, cough!

"F*ck, I give up!"

Leo cursed under his breath as he weakly slumped toward the ground, although the increase in his Qi power and Qi storage was quite addicting, Leo's Qi already ran out.

He could only start cultivating or wait for the natural recovery of Qi (which is 5 times slower than cultivating) in able to practice the thread skill again.

Sigh...

Looking at the ceiling of the cavern for an unknown period of time, Leo heaved a sigh of helplessness before sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Closing his eyes, Leo began to follow the way of his cultivation technique, doing rhythmic breathing but at the same time not.

At one point, he would start snoring but after a while, he would start taking a large deep breath of air...

Unknown to him, after a quarter of an hour of cultivating, a wisp of white warm air began to enter his nostril, going to his lungs before circulating over his body.

Soon, after circulation, the Qi entered his heart...

Resting in there as it channels a minute amount of Qi toward his body... Using the heart's ability to pump blood for the Qi to be circulated in his body on its own.

1 Qi recovered...

1 Qi recovered...

1 Qi recovered...

...

Huff~

Leo unhurriedly opened his eyes as he exhaled mist through his mouth.

Surprisingly, although he didn't sleep throughout his meditation Leo felt extremely energized and his mental energy recovered as if he slept comfortably for 8 hours.

"How long am I cultivating?" He wondered as he stared at his storage Qi which was now fully recovered.

Planning to go toward the nearest group in the distance to ask about time, when suddenly, out of the blue, the sound of metal hitting metal echoed inside his mind.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon cultivating for 5 hours straight!

+2,500 horror points!

+2 free attribute points!

+1 Small Enlightenment Stone! ]

"Haha, great!"

Now, I have 3-4 small enlightenment stones on me!

I remembered that I was still quite far away from gaining basic mastery of my cultivation technique... Should I use one to try its effect?

Leo thought after seeing his inventory slowly accumulating enlightenment stones.

...

Ding!

[ Enlightenment Stone (small)- Allow a being to gain enlightenment in almost everything! The lower the grade a being wanted to gain/learn the higher the enlightenment stone effect is!

Note: A mysterious stone that was born in the depths of the cosmos. ]

...

"Let's try one."

Upon deciding, Leo excitedly took out a seemingly ordinary stone in his inventory, examining its figure in confusion and anticipation. If not for the small energy (almost undiscernible to one's eye) that was revolving around the stone, Leo would think that the stone in his hand was just a normal feeble on the ground.

So how could I use this? Should I just hold it in my hand and begin pondering my cultivation technique?

Without other options, Leo could only firmly grasp the stone in his left hand before excitedly closing his eyes, beginning to ponder the profundity of the Low-Immortal "Undying Soul Conqueror" cultivation technique...
