My Cultivation System

Chapter 161 - Wooden Puppet

Soon, Henrick was teleported to a place that looked like a fighting arena filled with full of empty chairs.

Currently, he was standing in the center of the fighting arena and observed the entire fighting arena.

"Okay. The trial is cool with a nice setting; however, where is my opponent,"

After observing the fight arena for a while, he muttered to himself as there was no opponent opposite to him.

'Swoosh'

Just as he was thinking about an opponent, a silhouette rushed into the fighting arena from one of the entrances and stood in front of him.

'Ding,

          Item name:- Wooden puppet

          Strength:- Rank 2

Without even asking the system, it displayed the information of the wooden puppet in front of him.

'Let's start,'

Before Henrick could react, the wooden puppet appeared in front of him and used his two fingers to twist in his stomach.

'Ding,

          Master's dantian is sealed for two minutes.

'Ding,

        Master can not use his pure internal fire energy or any of his skills along with the fire vine seed inside his dantian until the two minutes are over.

'What?'

Henrick was shocked by the sudden system notifications about his dantian being sealed.

'How did he do that?'

Henrick hurriedly jumped back to escape from the incoming punch as he thought in his head.

'Puchi'

However, his speed was very slow because of his sealed dantian and he was unable to dodge the punch.

'Aargh'

Henrick groaned in pain as he angrily looked at the wooden puppet.

'Damn it...I can't even use my 'Bronze Minotaur Body' to strengthen my outer body,'

He cursed as he was completely helpless against a rank 2 wooden puppet.

'All I need to do now is endure the punches for the two minutes and as long as my dantian is unsealed, I can destroy it within a second,'

Henrick was confident in winning the trial as long as he could endure the attacks of the puppet.

"Fine...since you are very eager to punch me, I will stand here and allow you to hit me,"

Earlier he didn't expect that he would receive a punch from the wooden puppet. So, he was not ready for it and groaned in pain when he received the punch.

However, he positioned himself and allowed the wooden puppet to punch him.

'Punch'

'Punch'

'Hm'

Henrick was able to endure the pain with the help of his 'Endurance' skill; however, he was unable to stand in the exact position as he was pushed back with each punch.

'Just a little more...I will destroy you with one punch,'

With each punch that Henrick received from the wooden puppet, Henrick's desire to destroy it increased as he continued to endure the pain.

'Ding,

          Master's dantian has now been unsealed.

"Here, take this,"

'Slash'

Finally, after enduring all the punches from the wooden puppet, for two minutes, he received a system notification.

The moment he received the system notification, he didn't waste a single second as he used his 'Fire demon slash' at the wooden puppet, tearing it apart.

'Ding,

          Congratulations to the challenger for successfully completing the trial.

'Ding,

        Teleporting to the main hall of the inheritance building.

Soon, he got the trial completion notifications from the trial master and teleported from the trial room.

"I didn't expect a wooden puppet would  seal my dantian; otherwise, the trial had long completed," After coming out of the trial room, Henrick shook his head and thought, 'Nevertheless, I learned not to underestimate anyone from their looks.'

If he was careful from the beginning, he doesn't have to endure the punches. Just a moment of carelessness and he would die if it was his enemy.

'Ding,

          The trail master has rewarded you with 100 crude souls for completing the trial.

'Not bad,'

Henrick didn't expect much rewards from this level 0 trial as he already knew that he would be getting worse rewards.

'Since I am almost a level 1 challenger, the level 0 trials would not pose many difficulties to him. If it is less difficult then I would get fewer rewards,'

Henrick was satisfied with his reward and didn't bother the trial master anymore before finding a place to sit in one corner of the main hall.

Some might find that he would be coming to the inheritance building for a single less rewarded trial; however, according to him, even mosquito meat is still meat.

Every single crude soul could help him buy a nice item that could help him in his cultivation.

'Now, it's time to finish the daily missions,'

After settling in one corner, Henrick closed his eyes and checked his dantian to see how much pure internal fire energy is left.

'It looks like I have a lot of pure internal fire energy,'

Henrick shook his head as he used the system to know the exact percentage of the pure internal fire energy.

'Ding,

          Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (61 percent / 200 percent)

'More than one-fourth of my dantian is filled,'

Henrick silently thought in his head for a moment before summoning the fire vine from his dantian.

'Swoosh'

The moment it was summoned, it happily wrapped around Henrick's hand.

"You are in great luck today," Henrick smiled at it and continued, "You can absorb as much pure internal fire energy as you want today."

'Swoosh'

Just as he finished his words, the fire vine didn't bother to hear him anymore and directly entered back into his dantian before greedily absorbing the pure internal fire energy as though it didn't eat anything for years.

'I will wait until it finished its eating,'

Since he had to empty his dantian to complete one of the daily missions before he could focus on the other two daily missions.

'Ding,

          The master's battle companion consumed more than it's vine body could absorb. Please make it stop before it blasts in your dantian.

'What? It will be blasted in my dantian?'

Henrick was shocked to death with the sudden system notification before forcefully summoning the fire vine out of your body.

'Why do I have gluttons with me?'

After summoning it out of his body, Henrick thought inside his head as both the baby fire monkey and the fire vine didn't know when to stop eating.

"Ivy, you are not allowed to consume any more pure internal fire energy. First, absorb all the fire energy inside you. If you can do that, I will give you some more,"

Henrick ordered it in a serious tone and the fire vine didn't waste any time as it wrapped itself to Henrick's hand before starting assimilating the fire energy in its body.

'Ding,

          Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (11 percent / 200 percent)

Henrick once again checked the percentage of his pure internal fire energy in his body before thinking, 'So, you absorbed 50 percent of pure internal fire energy within less than 10 seconds. What a glutton.'

He was shocked by the fire vine's consumption speed and shook his head.

'So what? If you can't assimilate the consumed energy into your body, it is waste no matter how high is your consumption speed,'

Henrick noticed one downside about the fire vine before focusing on the next daily mission.
