The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion Chapter 39: Effects Of The New Talent

Damian had already opened his 12 primary ridians.

Over the following ten days, he utilized nearly one-sixth of the pond water infused with thick natural energy, pushing himself with utmost concentration and ntal power to force open the 8 extraordinary ridians.

The entire process was excruciating.

It felt as though he was subrged in boiling water, his blood boiling from within, pressing against his skin as if trying to escape.

His nerves scread in agony, as though they were being continuously electrocuted.

For ten days, Damian endured this tornt.

However, his talent, [Boundless Refinent], greatly enhanced his adaptability to all forms of conditions and environnts.

This allowed him to gradually develop resistance to the pain.

His body, nerves, skin, and organs rapidly adjusted to the relentless strain, growing tougher and more resilient with each passing mont.

Deep within the cave, where a large circular pond about 35 ters in diater lay, the air was thick with dense, hot steam, making it difficult to see.

In the center of this suffocating environnt, a figure sat cross-legged in a lotus position, his intense breathing echoing through the space.

With every exhale, streams of Qi and hot air escaped his lips.

His body was drenched in sweat, and as his lips parted slightly, a pair of intensely glowing neon-blue eyes appeared.

[You have completely opened the 20th ridian.]

[Your resistance to pain has significantly improved.]

[Due to continuous expansion caused by a large amount of unstable Qi, your Dantian has significantly expanded.]

[Due to continuous expansion caused by a large amount of unstable Qi, your ridians have significantly expanded.]

[Your nervous system has been significantly strengthened.]

[Your energy nerves have been significantly strengthened.]

[Your spiritual circuits have been significantly strengthened.]

[Congratulations, you have completely opened up all the ridians in your body.]

[Your Qi absorption efficiency has increased by 200%.]

[You have reached the highest stage of the Qi Condensation Realm that is physically and spiritually possible.]

[You have reached the hidden stage of the Qi Condensation Realm that is considered impossible to achieve.]

[You have reached the Supre Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.]

"I did it... I opened all 20 ridians," Damian said with a grin, his breaths deep and steady as he felt the incredible transformation coursing through him.

"Supre stage, huh? So, this is the highest stage possible? Does that an for every cultivation realm, there is a supre stage beyond the peak stage?"

A crazy thought began to form in Damian's mind, and the grin on his face grew wider.

"Ti to start cultivating."

[3rd Cultivation Realm: Foundation Establishnt Realm]

[In the Foundation Establishnt Realm, the cultivator must form a seed inside their dantian. The growth of the seed is classified into four stages of the realm:

-Lower Stage: Drawing the seed

-Middle Stage: Filling the seed with Qi

-Upper Stage: Forming the seed shell

-Peak Stage: Condensing the entire seed]

[Once you reach the peak stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, you can break through to the 4th cultivation realm.]

Damian glanced at the pond, and his figure blurred as he appeared at its center, sitting cross-legged and letting himself subrge.

Although the pond was about 35 ters in diater and very deep, its water level was surprisingly low.

Sitting cross-legged, the water barely reached Damian's neck.

"Wait a minute, why do I even have to cultivate like others when I can simply extract Qi and increase my cultivation?"

A strange expression ford on his face as he activated his extraction ability.

[Extraction: Unique Innate Ability Activated]

The water level of the energy-filled pond began to decrease as Damian's extraction ability absorbed about one-sixth of the remaining water.

A surplus amount of Qi surged into Damian's dantian.

Unlike the last ti, his dantian didn't feel pressured, as it had already expanded significantly.

Following the directions of the [Path of Sacred Arts] cultivation thod, Damian circulated the Qi throughout his body.

The Qi flowed like a river, reaching every part of his body: organs, bones, skin, and down to the cells.

Everything was strengthened before the energy gathered at the center of his dantian, rapidly beginning to take the shape of a seed.

[You have reached the Lower Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.]

[Your Strength increased: 1]

[Your Stamina increased: 1]

[Your Agility increased: 1]

[Your Vitality increased: 1]

[Your Perception increased: 1]

[Your Qi increased: 2]

Damian ignored the system notifications and the warm sensation spreading through his body.

The surplus Qi he absorbed was far from being fully utilized.

He continued circulating the Qi in his dantian like a whirlpool, filling the seed rapidly until it could take no more.

[You have reached the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.]

[All Your Physical Attributes increased: 1]

[Your Qi increased: 2]

Damian didn't stop for a mont.

The Qi flowed unhindered, as if there were no obstacles or shackles within him.

The seed began to form a shell, encased by the dense Qi.

[You have reached the Upper Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.]

[All Your Physical Attributes increased: 1]

[Your Qi increased: 2]

Finally, the Qi in his dantian began to coalesce and poured directly into the shell of the seed.

The seed grew stronger, condensing further until it reached its limit.

[You have reached the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.]

[All Your Physical Attributes increased: 1]

[Your Qi increased: 2]

Damian didn't stop.

Instead of breaking through to the next cultivation realm, he began to do sothing extraordinary; he started forming additional Seeds.

[You have ford the 2nd Foundation Seed.]

[You have ford the 3rd Foundation Seed.]

.

.

.

[You have ford the 9th Foundation Seed.]

[You have reached the Supre Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.]

[Your Strength increased: 8.]

[Your Stamina increased: 8.]

[Your Agility increased: 8.]

[Your Vitality increased: 8.]

[Your Perception increased: 8.]

[Your Qi increased: 8.]

"Ha," Damian let out a long sigh of relief.

After forming the 1st Foundation Seed, every subsequent seed up to the 9th provided him with only a single-point increase in each stat, unlike the 1st Seed, which had increased his stats by 4 points and his Qi by 8 points.

"The Supre Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm," Damian said, a grin spreading across his face.

Then, suddenly, a series of notifications appeared before his eyes.

[You are the first person to reach the supre stages of two consecutive cultivation realms.]

[You have taken the path of a Supre Cultivator.]

[Your physical body has been refined to the highest degree and has taken the first step toward the path of human evolution.]

[You are slowly stepping closer to evolving into the next stage of human evolution.]

[You have triggered the mission function.]

[Mission: Walking the Road of Human Evolution]

[You must complete the following conditions:]

[Increase Your Level: 45/150]

[Defeat Awakeners 50 levels higher than you: 0/20.]

[Obtain Source Cores of Monsters 50 levels higher than you: 0/30.]

[Increase your Vitality: 92/200]

[Increase your Perception: 94/200]

"Jesus Christ, have I already grown that strong? To think I would receive a system mission to evolve my race!" Damian's eyes widened in surprise.

He was well aware of the concept called Human Evolution.

Before his regression, he had heard of so humans from his howorld triggering the system to grant them such missions.

Upon completing these missions, they would evolve into an entirely different race.

Humans were one of the weakest species.

Their only racial ability was a slightly enhanced capacity to adapt.

While this might seem like a beneficial trait, it paled in comparison to the abilities of higher-level races.

These races could fly, regenerate limbs, spit fire, or possess skin as tough as armor.

By contrast, humans were often considered insignificant.

However, humans could also acquire racial abilities by evolving.

And now, Damian was staring at such a mission.

The conditions for the mission were not exactly what he had anticipated.

"These mission conditions... am I tripping, or do they seem way too easy?" Damian rubbed his head in confusion.

From his knowledge before his regression, he knew these missions were supposed to be extraordinarily difficult, yet to him, they seed almost manageable.

Just What's happening?
