Ping!

[Host Class Assigned.]

[Based on the Host’s cultivation techniques, combat style, and affinity with the spear.]

[Host has unlocked the Spearman Class.]

Lothe raised an eyebrow.

"Oh."

The class suited him perfectly. It also aligned with the cultivation path he had chosen—the Void Spear Sovereign.

At least the system hadn’t assigned him something completely unrelated.

"System, show me the available subclasses."

He paused.

"And explain what a subclass is."

Ping!

[Subclasses are secondary cultivation paths determined by an individual’s natural talents and affinities.]

[Unlike the primary class, subclasses provide specialized knowledge and abilities outside the Host’s main combat path.]

Lothe nodded.

So a subclass was essentially a secondary profession.

The system continued.

[Array/Talisman Mastery:]

[The ability to perceive, manipulate, and arrange the flow of Qi into structured symbols known as Runes.]

[Multiple Runes can be connected to form powerful formations known as Arrays.]

[Armament Mastery:]

[The ability to forge, refine, and enhance Spirit Weapons, Artifacts, and Treasures.]

[Alchemy:]

[The ability to refine Spirit Herbs and other materials into Spirit Pills, Elixirs, and medicinal products.]

[Beast Taming:]

[The ability to communicate with Spirit Beasts, establish contracts, and form bonds with them.]

Lothe listened quietly.

"So that’s it."

At this point, very little the system revealed could still surprise him.

"System, show me my talent in each field."

Ping!

[Analyzing Host’s innate talents...]

[Analysis complete.]

——————————

[SUBCLASS TALENT EVALUATION]

Array/Talisman Mastery

• Talent: SSS+

Armament Mastery

• Talent: SS

Alchemy

• Talent: F-

Beast Taming

• Talent: F+

——————————

Lothe’s calm expression finally cracked.

His eyes widened as he stared at the first two results.

"...What the hell?"

SSS+.

SS.

He knew he was intelligent. Old B had always praised his ability to learn quickly and solve problems that left others struggling.

But he had never imagined his talent could be this ridiculous.

His gaze returned to Array/Talisman Mastery.

From the brief explanation, it sounded almost like computer programming.

Runes were pieces of code. Connect different runes in the correct order, and they produced specific functions. Combine enough functions together, and an Array was created.

Lothe’s eyes slowly widened.

He had been talented with computers before the apocalypse. His understanding of logic, patterns, structures, and systems probably translated directly into Array Mastery.

"SSS+..." he muttered.

"That’s insane."

His gaze shifted to Armament Mastery.

He scratched his chin.

But where had the SS talent come from?

He had never forged a weapon in his life. His only weapon-related experience had come from using them.

"I’ll figure that out later."

Lothe then looked at the remaining two results.

Alchemy: F-.

He wasn’t surprised. He had never liked medicine, he always finds biology classes dull.

As for Beast Taming—

F+.

"Fair enough."

He had nothing else to say about that.

Lothe dismissed the subclass panel.

"System, show me my status."

Ping!

The familiar purple interface expanded before his eyes.

Inspect — Level 5

Allows the Host to identify and analyze living beings within his perception range. It can reveal a target’s name, species, level, tier, abilities, and other basic information.

When used on cultivators, it can also reveal visible attributes and combat-related information, provided the target’s concealment ability does not exceed the Host’s Inspect level.

[TECHNIQUES]

Void Spear Art — First Form: Rift Thrust

Higher mastery increases the range, penetration, and spatial tearing power of the technique.

Spatial Blades

Higher mastery increases the number, speed, sharpness, and control of the blades.

[EQUIPMENT]

A unique spear formed from the Host’s Void Qi and soul energy. The weapon is intrinsically connected to the Host and can be summoned at will.

Its strength and abilities will evolve alongside the Host’s cultivation and mastery.

Gale Boots

An Advanced-grade Spirit Equipment that increases movement speed, agility, and explosive acceleration while reducing the physical strain placed on the Host’s legs.

——————————

Lothe stared at the status screen.

His eyes eventually settled on one particular line.

Soul Weapon: Void Spear.

He remembered the spear he had created from his own Qi.

"So it’s my Soul Weapon..."

He slowly clenched his fist.

That explained why it had felt different from his old spear.

It wasn’t merely a weapon, It was part of him.

Then he noticed his Passive Ability, Weak point Analysis which has now evolve to ’Inspect’.

Suddenly—

WHOOSH!

Dense Spiritual Qi surged toward Lothe.

The purple mist surrounding him rushed into his body through every pore. His Core began absorbing the energy immediately.

The purple sphere within his lower abdomen glowed brighter.

Spiritual Qi entered his meridians, where it was refined into a purer form of Void Qi before flowing back into his Core.

Lothe closed his eyes.

His body felt lighter.

Stronger.

Sharper.

Every movement seemed effortless, as though an invisible force had blessed his entire body.

When he opened his eyes, he noticed something strange.

"Uh?"

Lothe reached behind his head.

His fingers touched something soft.

Hair.

A lot of it.

He pulled a strand forward and stared at it.

"What happened to my hair?"

His previously short hair had transformed into long, silky strands that flowed down his back and reached his waist. A simple wooden hairpin held part of it together.

Lothe stared at himself in disbelief.

"System, care to explain this?"

Ping!

[Due to the Host reaching Level 5, the Host’s body has undergone an evolutionary transformation.]

[The Host’s enhanced Qi has begun strengthening his physical body, senses, and appearance.]

Lothe raised an eyebrow.

"So I evolved?"

[Affirmative.]

His gaze dropped toward his purple robes.

"And these?"

[The Host’s Void Qi has formed a defensive layer around the Host’s body.]

[The defensive layer has naturally manifested in the form of Void Silk Robes.]

[The robes possess defensive properties and can resist physical and energy-based attacks.]

Lothe looked down at his feet.

He hadn’t noticed it earlier, but even his Gale Boots had changed. They now extended almost to his knees, were completely black, and had a rugged design similar to the boots worn by old ranchers.

He stared at himself.

"Damn."

Lothe had never cared much about his appearance before.

But things were different now.

He glanced toward Seana.

"Now that I actually have someone to impress..."

He paused.

"Forget it."

A faint smirk appeared on his lips.

"Judging from her reaction earlier, I’m handsome."

He thought about it for another second.

"No, forget that."

"Dashing."

His gaze drifted toward Seana.

Then his expression changed.

Something was happening.

Crimson Qi slowly swirled around Seana’s body. The energy flowed from her Core and spread across her entire body, coating her from head to toe.

Lothe’s eyes narrowed.

The Shadow Weave clothing covering her body suddenly began to change.

Crimson light flashed.

The black fabric stretched and transformed into a flowing crimson silk robe. Elegant red lotus patterns blossomed across the material, while black embroidery traced the edges. A large crimson lotus rested across the upper chest.

The robe moved gently with every breath she took.

But Lothe barely noticed the clothing.

His gaze had already fallen upon her face.

Seana’s beauty had always been striking, like a fiery lotus blooming in the middle of darkness.

But now, she looked dangerous.

Her long black hair flowed freely down her back, framing a face that had become sharper and more mature. Her pale skin contrasted beautifully with the crimson robe, while a faint crimson glow surrounded her lips.

The delicate curve of her jaw and the sharpness of her eyes gave her beauty an entirely different character.

She no longer looked merely beautiful.

She looked like a blood-red goddess descending upon the battlefield.

Lothe stared.

"...Damn."

For once, he had nothing clever to say.

At that exact moment—

Ping!

A series of system notifications appeared before Seana.

[You have absorbed a dense quantity of pure Qi from an unknown source.]

[No hostile intent detected.]

[Purifying and refining the absorbed Qi.]

[Purification complete.]

[Your Qi reserves have increased.]

[You have reached the threshold for breakthrough and system evolution.]

[Upgrade and breakthrough commencing.]

[1%... 10%... 40%... 80%... 100%.]

[Congratulations.]

[You have successfully advanced to Level 5, Tier 1.]

Ping!

[System upgrade complete.]

[New authority unlocked: System Title.]

[Class and Subclass options have been unlocked.]

Seana slowly opened her eyes as the red notifications floated across her vision.

She knew exactly where the mysterious Qi had come from.

She remembered the moment he had poured his Qi into her body after she had been smashed into the ground. She had expected his Qi to stabilize her injuries, but she hadn’t expected it to be so pure.

Nor had she expected it to push her directly from Level 4, Tier 1 to Level 5, Tier 1.

What kind of Qi does he possess?
