Chapter 140 System Upgrade

Six Days Ago,

On the shore of Blue Star Kingdom,

Fu Chen and his group were gathered in front of the gigantic sea. They looked around and saw nothing but water.

“It seems like we truly need a ship. I would love to swim but I know there are powerful sea creatures in this ocean so I don’t want to risk my life.” Chi Yan spoke.

“Yeah, I don’t want to get eaten by a sea creature as well. It’s a worse way to die.” Wu Kong nodded as he sighed.

“We are not swimming there.” Xue Le straightened her gaze and said.

“I can build a ship with my wood release but first, I need to understand the full details of a ship. Le, you should be familiar with the ship, right? Can you draw a ship?” Fu Chen asked.

“I can draw but it will take a time to draw a perfect picture.” Xue Le nodded.

“Don’t worry, take your time! Besides we have something else to do. We will set off once we finish it.” Fu Chen nodded and turned around.

In front of him, a new panel appeared.

‘Ohh! It seems like there are some changes. Haaaa! I have finally cultivated the Immortal Grade Technique to perfection. Although it didn’t directly increase my strength to an unimaginable realm, it still gave me a lot of benefits.’

‘Wood Power, healing power, True Dragon Body… and that one as well. I made studier progress with an Immortal Grade Technique but I realize that I something.’

‘My Martial Art from Dragon and Tiger Dance to Blazing Fire Sword Art and even White Tiger Slaughtering Sword Art and Azure Dragon Eternal Sword Art, these are not Immortal Grade but they are definitely above Mortal Grade.’

‘So, which grade do they belong to?’

[Host, I have an answer.]

‘You do?’ Fu Chen was surprised by her interruption.

[Host has met necessary criteria for system’s upgrade. Would you like to proceed?]

‘Wait, this is your idea?’ Fu Chen was stunned by the sudden change to upgrade his system.

[Yes, Host! When the system upgrades, the amount of information inside me will also increase. I will also learn new things. Originally, you needed to reach Law Condensation Realm but now, your strength is way beyond normal Nascent Soul even without a power boost from your eyes.]

[So, the system is completely ready for an upgrade.]

‘How long will it take?’ Fu Chen asked.

[From Version 1 to Version 2 only takes twelve hours.]

‘Alright then, send those Blood Awakening Fruits to my Spatial Ring and start the upgrade.’

[Yes, Host!]

A few seconds later, a new panel appeared in front of him.

[Upgrade has been initiated]

[All functions are temporarily deactivated]

[A.I ‘Ysla’ is going on a sleep mode]

[Initiating One-Time Internet Connection]

[Backup Power Enable- Searching Multiversal Server]

[Server Found- Chaos Online Serve Connected]

[Note- For any future upgrade, the Host must go to certain places with proper Internet Connection. Further information will be available after the upgrade.]

[Upgrade Countdown Begin- 11 hours, 59 mins, 59 seconds]

Looking at the new panels, Fu Chen tilted his head.

‘I have no idea what it said. I should wait for Ysla to explain this.’

Without wasting any time, he took out three fruits and passed them to Chu Yan, Wu Kong, and Xue Le. When they looked at those fruits, they were confused.

Flap! Flap!

At this moment, a bird came flying near them and sat on Xue Le’s shoulder.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to come here? And, why didn’t you take me with you?” Lily asked as soon as she landed on her shoulder.

Xue Le smiled and said, “Sorry, we were in rush.”

“Ahh! Yes, sorry about your brother.” Lily apologized as she suddenly remembered the death of Xue Pun. She didn’t expect him to sacrifice himself for the sake of his sister.

“It’s okay. He was a good brother…” Xue Le tried to keep herself calm but she couldn’t keep herself from trembling. She never realized that her brother was shackled by her mother so much that he couldn’t even live his own life.

And, she felt even worse when she remembered making him a slave.

Suddenly, Fu Chen walked closer and pulled her into his embrace.

“Let’s not cry, okay? Someone told me that we can’t choose our destiny but we can choose our death. Your brother chose his death to keep you alive. If you keep mourning over him, it will only make you feel worse.”

“He is right, girl. He was a good brother indeed. The fate of the people is controlled by the strong. If you don’t want to end up like your brother, you must get stronger.” Lily spoke once again.

At this moment, her eyes moved at Fu Chen and when she noticed Chu Yan and Wu Kong, she saw a crimson fruit. Suddenly, her eyes widened.

“How? How do you have the Blood Awakening Fruit? Where did you get it? Do you have more?”

She instantly ran in front of Chu Yan and Wu Kong.

“Do you recognize this fruit?” Fu Chen asked with surprise. He didn’t recognize this bird at all.

“Of course, there is nothing that I can’t recognize. This is a Blood Awakening Fruit. It was said to be the greatest resource for bloodlines and physiques. It can help you awaken your bloodline and physiques if you have any.”

“Do you have one more? Would you please give it to me?” Lily flew in front of him and jumped at his shoulder. She put her wings together and begged.

“You can take mine. I don’t have any physique and I have already reversed my bloodline.” Xue Le stretched out her and said.

Lily shook her head and spoke “You don’t know more about the Reverse Bloodline. While reversing your bloodline does make it stronger, when it comes to rank, your current bloodline is too low.”

“So, you must take this Blood Awakening Fruit to strengthen your bloodline. Currently, your bloodline is still Mortal Grade. Once it reaches Tribulation Grade, your bloodline will give you another slot for a new bloodline ability.”

Hearing her words, Xue Le hesitated.

“Don’t worry, I have another fruit. Well, I had five and now we all have one. But, you haven’t introduced this bird.” Fu Chen pushed her hand and took out the last Blood Awakening Fruit.

He wanted to give it to Shen Xui but she had already awakened her bloodline. He didn’t know whether eating this will help him but he wanted to try it.

“Thank you, thank you so much! With this, I will be able to awaken my Phoenix Bloodline smoothly.” Lily thanked him as she took the fruit from his hand.

“Whoa! You are phoenix?” Fu Chen, Wu Kong, and Chu Yan were surprised. They looked at her closely. From her size, she didn’t look like a phoenix. So, they weren’t sure.

“Now that you mention it, you do look like a red chicken.” Wu Kong spoke.

“Yeah!” Chu Yan agreed.

“I am not a red chicken. I am a phoenix.” Lily felt like crying. It wasn’t her fault that she looked like a chicken.

“Don’t tease her! Anyway, let’s try awakening fruits.” Xue Le fondled Lily’s head as she revealed her strict gaze at Wu Kong and Chu Yan. Seeing that deadly gaze, Chu Yan and Wu Kong looked at the sky and the image of Su Ling appeared.

‘Sister-in-law, we miss you.’
