After two days, on a hospital bed, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. While opening his eyes, he saw his best friend Han Yexiu and and crush Lian Yuer were standing surrounding him, his parents were also there. He unknowingly asked
What happened to me?
and then slowly, he remembered everything. the red crowned parrot, the strange person who killed it, and finally, an unknown system voice. And what happened after that. When Ye Feng was drowned in his own thought, Han Yexiu asked
"Hey, ye feng, what happened to you suddenly back then?"
Ye Feng said, "I don't know really."
At that moment, he noticed a face filled with tension and sadness, it was none other than Lian Yuer.
She asked with a low voice, "How are you feeling now?"
Ye Feng answered with a smile, "I am fine now, thanks for taking care of me."
"It's nothing, take care of yourself and get well soon."
After saying that, she left the room slowly, as if she wanted to stay, but something was stopping her from doing it.
After all of this, Ye Feng's little sister, Ye Mai, hugged him and said
"Do you know how much father and mother were tensing for you? They didn't even eat properly for the last two days. "
"I am sorry for making you all worry."
And after some time, everyone finally left the room, and he got some time to rethink and arrange the incidents that happened that day properly.
"That day when I said yes to the system's request, I could feel that a strange power was growing into my body; it felt like with each passing second I was getting stronger."
Then he unknowingly said the word "system."
Suddenly, a crimson red system screen popped up in front of him:
[name: Ye Feng
class: spirit warrior
health:180
Spirit power: 50
Overall combat power: 270
talent: spirit control lv.1(using the power of sprit you can control any object, the number of controlling object and the distance it can cover is based on your spirit power)
soul absorption lv.1(can absorb any mutant beasts soul)]
Ye Feng asked the system
"How does the reaper system work?"
["Currently using the system host can absorb any soul from dead mutant beasts. though using reaper system host can only grow his spirit power, to grow hosts body strength host needs to depend on external objects and effort, if host reaches his maximum potential in the current rank, soul absorption will not work until host breakthrough to next rank, system can not help the host to breakthrough to next level, with hosts growth many new talent will be unlocked slowly "]
Ye Feng roughly understands his current situation. And then he tried on his spirit control power with a pen which was on the table beside the hospital bed. though he was able to move the pen for a bit. He understood that to move the pen, he needed to practice with it. With his newfound power, he was happy and also more determined at once. he murmured to himself that
"So, to grow my body strength and progress my spirit control, I need to prepare thoroughly. There are only five days left until the army. and I have to pass the army test anyway possible because without an army license, I can not enter any hunting zone in the city. And to grow my power rapidly, I need to hunt as many mutant beasts as possible."
with all this thought, he also knew very well that he needed to hide his system until the very end because if major clans found out that his power could threaten their position, they would not hesitate to hunt me down. and about his spirit control power, he decided that he would let everyone know in the practical exam, even though it is very rare, it was not rare enough to make major clans move. but with it, he will surely get a better offer in the army.
after that next five days, he practiced on his spirit control and perfected it as much as possible
"With my current spirit power, I can control one object under 150 meters freely, and with the force it generates, it could easily go through a normal level mutant beast."
he also strengthened his body as much as possible. He also practiced various low-level martial arts and sword techniques.
"I prepared as much as possible in every way possible."
Ye Feng was quite hopeful for the exam, because he knew that in his past life in this time he was far weaker than his current self.
finally, the day of the exam came. after waking up in the morning, he prepared for the exam as soon as possible. And then he came to the breakfast table where his father, mother were already present and his sister was busy arranging the food.
ye Feng's father, Ye Zheu, said, "Today is your exam. son, be careful on the exam ground. Your life is more important to us than anything else."
Ye Feng said, "Father, don't worry, I will be okay."
"I will surely pass the exam, and then I will give you all a good life."
His mother, Ye Xuan, smiled and said, "Our son is already grown up, just be careful, your happiness is our happiness."
Ye Mai said, "Don't worry, Mom, my brother is very strong. I know he will be alright."
After finishing breakfast and taking the blessing of his parents, Ye Feng finally left the house and headed toward the army camp where the exam would be conducted. On the way, he met up with his best friend Han Yexiu.
"Hey, you're ready for the exam? My hands are still shaking with fear."
Ye Feng replied, "What is there to be afraid If you are prepared, you will surely pass the exam."
"That's easy for you to say because you are one of the three Elite," he chuckled while saying it.
after walking for a while, they both finally reached in front of the army camp where the exam will be conducted. Many past memories flashed back in Ye Feng's mind, yet he stayed calm.
And finally, he took his first step toward his goal to become the strongest.
