Li Shen arrived back in his room and sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on the system notification that had popped up earlier while he was with Ma Nuo.
[Congratulations! You have awakened your Martial Soul.]
[All system functions are now fully operational.]
[A Newbie Gift Pack has also been granted to the host.]
Li Shen's eyes flickered with curiosity as he reached out to open the gift pack, wondering what advantages it might bring in this unfamiliar world.
Li Shen clicked open the Newbie Gift Pack. A soft glow filled the room as the system displayed the contents clearly before him:
Cultivation Technique Scroll – A rare and complete manual that grants a cultivation technique perfectly suited for the host.
Random Class Change Book – After use, the host can receive a random new class, allowing for unpredictable and unique growth.
100,000-Year Spirit Bone – Upon opening, the host can obtain a random spirit bone with powerful enhancements.
1,000 System Points – A valuable currency within the Ultimate Traveler System, exchangeable for powerful skills, rare items, or upgrades.
"Good," Li Shen nodded at the gift pack. It had already given him everything he might need to start his adventure.
"Now, show me the details of all system functions," Li Shen said.
The system interface appeared once again, displaying all the system functions in full detail:
[Quests] – This function allows Li Shen to create, track, and complete various quests. As he finishes quests, the system automatically calculates and grants rewards based on the difficulty and significance of the tasks. Quests can range from simple training exercises to dangerous missions in the Douluo world.
[Inventory] – A vast, boundless storage space where Li Shen can store any items, weapons, spirit bones, cultivation materials, and treasures he acquires. The inventory has no physical limits, ensuring he never has to worry about carrying capacity.
[Cultivation Path] – This shows the perfect cultivation route tailored not only for Li Shen but adaptable for anyone else. It provides guidance on how to efficiently increase spirit power, unlock new abilities, and maximize potential through a step-by-step progression system.
[Dimensional Archive] – This mysterious function enables Li Shen to obtain anything from his defeated opponents—including Martial Spirits, spirit powers, and unique combat techniques. It acts as a living archive of everything he has ever encountered and conquered.
[Fusion] – A powerful function that allows Li Shen to combine and fuse anything. For example, By fusing specific talents, he can create unique, enhanced abilities or improve existing ones, adapting to different combat styles or strategies.
"Damn… it's like a video game player HUD—but even better," Li Shen muttered with a grin as he browsed through his system functions. At the top of the interface, the title Ultimate Traveler System shimmered proudly.
"You're worthy of such an ultimate name," Li Shen nodded in approval.
[Thank you, Host.]
Li Shen chuckled. "Hmm, since you can talk and think like this… you must be a pretty advanced AI."
[Correct. Only those with high cognitive capabilities can help his host. My purpose is to elevate the Host to the level of a Supreme or even an Absolute Being, its normal if I have high intelligence.]
"hmm, then calling you just 'System' isn't good enough," Li Shen said with a smile. "Alright… from now on, your name is Genesis."
[Name set. You may now refer to me as Genesis.]
"Much better."
[Also, Host, there is one more hidden system function—System Shop—but it is currently locked. Unlock conditions are unknown and not visible at this time.]
Li Shen's eyes glinted with curiosity. A hidden shop function, huh? This system might be even deeper than I thought.
"Are there more hidden functions?" Li Shen asked, his eyes narrowing in curiosity.
[I can only answer that if the Host unlocks the first hidden function—System Shop.]
"Okay, so after I unlock the hidden Shop function, I might get a clue about what the next hidden function is, right?" he asked thoughtfully.
[Yes, Host. After you unlock the first hidden function, I will be able to give you a hint about the second. Once that is unlocked, I can provide a clue about the third, and so on.]
"Alright," Li Shen nodded. "Sounds fair enough. I'll uncover them one by one."
[Host, it is recommended to open the random rewards you received. One of them might enhance your physique, allowing you to withstand a higher-age Spirit Ring right from the start.]
Li Shen rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, you're right. I vaguely remember something… Spirit Rings before ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts are absorbable as long as the user's body is strong enough to bear it, right?"
[Correct, Host. Once a Spirit Beast reaches 10,000 years of age, it gains wisdom and a soul imprint. If such a beast is killed, its ring often carries a lingering resentment and mental backlash.]
[This backlash, if the Spirit Master's mental strength is insufficient, can cause severe trauma—or even death. That is why a 10,000-year Spirit Ring is generally recommended only as a fifth Spirit Ring or later, when one's body and mind are strong enough to endure it.]
[Before 10,000 years of age, there is no such wisdom, so it mostly depends on the Spirit Master's physical strength.]
Li Shen nodded firmly, then looked at the items resting in the corner of his system interface. Three glowing icons shimmered faintly—each pulsing with a mysterious aura.
"Let's start with the Random Class Change Book," he muttered, selecting it with a thought.
[Host is opening the Random Class Change Book for the first time… increasing result quality and usefulness due to first-time blessing…]
A brilliant light burst forth from the book, swirling like a golden wheel of fate. The glow intensified, and in front of Li Shen, a rotating array of class names flickered past at blinding speed:
Blade Dancer… Spirit Scribe… Void Walker… Flame Monarch… Beast Incarnate…
Dozens more flashed by, each carrying a unique aura.
Then the wheel began to slow, the flickering names coming into focus—until it stopped with a resonant chime:
[Congratulations, Host has obtained the Hidden Class: Alchemist King]
Li Shen's eyes widened. "Alchemist King? That sounds… powerful."
[Hidden Class: Alchemist King – A supreme class that combines mastery of spiritual alchemy, pill creation, poison arts, and battle alchemy.
The Alchemist King is capable of creating spirit pills that enhance cultivation, refining spiritual weapons, and crafting domain-based formations. In battle, he can fuse alchemical energy into attacks, turning even the battlefield into a living laboratory.]
