Chapter 97 Sealed Memories
Liu Feng,
I stretched my arms. The last few days in this place were not all boring. I could use my Qi freely now, and more importantly, I could use the Kun Peng Movement Arts like they were a part of me. The wings that I formed behind me felt like an extension of myself, and I was sure that I could even actually fly.
"With this, I should be able to leave. Why is master taking so long? I want to leave this place. I have been here a whole nine days! I don't even know what is happening outside. I might be at a disadvantage compared to them all, because I spent all my time inside here instead of learning with the others." I thought out loud.
I continued strolling around, with nothing much to do. Eventually, bored of it all, I decided to take a look at my stats for one last time.
"System Homepage." I said.

"I have 25 skill points. That is the most skill points that I have ever gotten. This one skill, the Kun Peng Movement arts is really giving me a plethora of benefits." I chuckled.
"In fact, I think that I should buy something useful in the system. I mean, I have the movement and defence arts laid down, but it always helps if I have more attack moves."
"Open store." I said.
[Opening store]
After a long time, a lot of skill books, pills, items, and weapons appeared before my eyes. And for the first time, I felt like I could afford them. Points in the system were almost impossible to get. They were kind of irritating.
"Filter the results to show only the skills that I can afford. I want a good attacking skill." I said.
[Filtering Attack Skills below 25 skill points. Retrieving Results.]
One by one, dozens of skills appeared before me. This was a far better selection than when I first tried to buy something. The most expensive purchase that I had was after the system heavily discounted it, as if it was trying to make me buy it. But now, I could actually buy something good here.
"What should I take now? I have a good spear art, but if I use two different weapons skillfully, I might garner a little hate. People don't take to geniuses very well." I noted as I kept scrolling through the catalogue.
"Filter the spear arts. I want only the skills that can be used by a spear." I said.
[Filtering Spear Arts. Retrieving results. There are five spear arts available at this price.] the system said.
"Blue Dragon Spear art. That one, I already have. Why are you still showing it? Take it away." I frowned. This was not the first time that the system made a mistake like this. Last time, when it gave me the penalty, I realized that the system had not added that level to my homepage before. There was a glitch. It felt like there was an actual person was behind the system, doing everything.
One other thing also crossed my mind. The system said that I was the first. Were there going to be others like me? The thought scared me.
"No. I should just focus on getting stronger so that I do not need to fear anyone." I shook my head and steeled my mind.
[Blue Dragon Spear Art.
Bone Dragon Tyrant Spear
Flowing Cloud Spear
Crushing Bone Spear
Spear of a thousand men]
[Flowing Cloud Spear. Total will come to nine skill points. Confirm Purchase?] the system asked.
"Confirm purchase. It isn't even that expensive, now that I got rich. I should learn a more passive skill and this looks like it will allow me to irritate the opponent a little before I can land a crushing blow." I nodded.
[Purchasing Flowing Cloud Spear. Purchased.]
[Transfering contents of skill to Host Memory.]
Immediately, I could see a man performing the flowing cloud spear. What I initially thought was right. A thousand shadows seemed to attack this man, but he used the spear to parry every attack. And not a single one landed on him.
There were a total of seven forms to this art though, and only the last one seemed to have any offensive power. I seemed to know that there were a total of seven forms, but the memories stopped after the first three were shown.
[Error! Host is not strong enough to use the fourth to the seventh form of attack. Memories will be sealed and will be unsealed once the Host reaches suitable power.] the system beeped.
"I am not strong enough? Is this a cultivation thing? Maybe I don't have sufficient cultivation. But even so, why the hell did they seal my memories? I can just be warned of this, can't I? Why does the system have to dictate what happens?" I grumbled.
[The host may attempt to learn the skill if life is in duress, and that might cause more harm than good. That is why, the system has decided to seal the memory until host is strong enough.] the system replied.
"At least tell me at what cultivation I need to be in for the memories to be unsealed."
[Host has to reach the Core Formation Stage to unseal the next two forms.]
