I Can Do Anything?-Chapter 7: So What?

...

...

[WARNING! This decision will interfere with karmic fate]

[Would you like to proceed with this decision? Yes or No]

...

Suddenly, Xuan Wu lets a sullen breath out, the darkness around him fading.

He looks around, Fatty Wang, Zi Rougang, and Zuo Lingxin all have worried expressions on their faces.

[Title Configuration decision cancelled.]

Xuan Wu stands up, swiping the dirt off of his clothing.

"Xuan Wu, are you okay?"

Fatty Wang grabs Xuan Wu's shoulders worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it just hurt a bit."

Fatty Wang lets a breath out.

"Really? It looked like you were wrestling with death."

Zi Rougang sneezes.

"Come on, we only have 3 months, better make the most of it."

He starts walking forward.

Zuo Lingxin looks at Zi Rougang and Xuan Wu, then continues forward.

Fatty Wang smiles.

"Come on."

...

Emerald Green Forest.

The Emerald Green Forest is a forest nearby the Great Whirlwind sect, it got its name from how vibrant and green the trees and flora were.

Elders in the Great Whirlwind sect say it was formed from the breakthrough of an old sect leader, with his spiritual energy reviving a dead forest, turning it into what it is today.

Fatty Wang jumps over a log in the forest. He slaps the air around him.

"Damn it, so many mosquitoes, so much for that bug repellent."

Zi Rougang grabs a green bottle full of liquid and throws it on Fatty Wang.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"Ah~ cold!"

Fatty Wang breathes in sharply, the cold liquid splashing against his neck.

Zi Rougang moves forward in a smug manner.

"Come on Fatty, don't be scared of a little bugs. We're future cultivators aren't we."

Fatty Wang's face flushes pink.

"Why you, didn't you get a low-grade talent!"

"Talent is meaningless in pursuit of power."

"Grr, why you!"

A hand clasps Fatty Wang's shoulder.

"It's okay, brother Fatty, ignore him, he just wants a reaction out of you."

"Humph!"

Zi Rougang turns his head and continues walking.

Zuo Lingxin looks at the boys quarrelling with nervousness.

"Ahh!"

Suddenly, a rope tightens around Zuo Lingxin's ankle, pulling her up.

"Zuo Lingxin!"

Almost immediately, Zi Rougang runs towards the tree where the rope that pulled Zuo Lingxin is tied, and uses that momentum to jump up.

He grabs Zuo Lingxin, untying the rope and letting her down safely.

Meanwhile, Fatty Wang and Xuan Wu are frozen in place.

Zi Rougang acts nonchalant, but once he passes to the front, he grins like an idiot.

"Junior sister Zuo Lingxin, one day I'll have your heart."

Zuo Lingxin follows behind, on her face is a slight blush.

...

"HAH!"

Clank

"HAH!"

Swoosh, Clank

"Gah!"

A sweaty, tired Xun Shi falls to the ground, quickly using his sword to stand back up.

"Come on, you disregarded your initiate mission to train with me, I'd say you should put some more effort."

An inner disciple with his purple hair tied up speaks.

He wears dark green inner sect robes. He carries a simple wooden sword.

But he's been defeating the Xun Shi wielding a proper iron sword with this simple wooden sword.

Xun Shi breaths come in short and uneasy.

"Senior brother, heh, are you trying to teach me that it doesn't matter what sword you have, as long as you have the will to fight?"

Senior brother Jian Ming claps his hands

"You finally got it, junior brother, even if you had a spiritually forged sword, you still wouldn't be able to win against this simple wooden sword."

Xun Shi steps closer, getting into his clans sword stance.

"But... I don't get it, you limited your cultivation to nothing, we're on the same level!"

Jian Ming laughs, getting into a sword stance as well. This sword stance is unordinary, full of weak spots, yet it exudes a special intimidation.

"When fighting with your sword, your cultivation doesn't matter for the most part. What matters is your will, how much you believe in the sword."

He swipes his sword, shifting positions.

"As long as you see your sword as your blood, nothing can get in the way."

...

A young boy is seen doing push ups.

1, 5, 20.

His sweat pools on the ground in tiny puddles.

"Xiao Huan, are you prepared to take your initiate mission?"

Liu Huan stops his workout, standing up.

He grabs a long spear off of a nearby table, smiling.

"Yes, master!"

...

BOOM!

An alchemy furnace explodes, sending ash flying everywhere.

Dong Shui coughs, his face covered with ashes.

He groans.

"This is the third time I've failed this week, alchemy is too hard!"

Feng Zhi laughs, eating some snacks.

"Why try so hard to learn alchemy then? You could get into formations like me and Lei Ming."

Dong Shui looks at Feng Zhi, then exhales.

"Our initiate mission?"

"Let's go."

They both exit the building, then exit the Alchemy Peak.

...

Emerald green forest.

Fatty Wang is at the front, easily out speeding the rest of the group.

"Hah, damn it, how are you so fat yet still fast!"

Zi Rougang groans, struggling to keep up.

Xuan Wu breathes in deeply, opening his system.

[You]

[Personality]

[Coward, Determined, Lazy...]

"System... am I really like this to you?"

Xuan Wu sighs.

"Well, I'll add a little perk I guess."

His finger hovers on the configuration tab.

Cold darkness flashes through his mind, causing him to hesitate.

"But what if... what if these personalities and titles are needed for fate, a mortal like me shouldn't meddle in these matters."

He stares at the personality screen, then takes a deep breath.

[Added personalities: Resilient, Energetic, Thirst for Power]

Suddenly, Xuan Wu feels like he could run for the rest of his life.

He quickly overtakes Zi Rougang and Zuo Lingxin.

Then passes by Fatty Wang like nothing.

"What, suddenly I get passed by this guy! I should just end my life right here!"

Zi Rougang cries out. He then gets passed by Zuo Lingxin.

Now his jaw is clenched, face flushed, eyes dark.

"Haha, if this is what cheating feels like, shouldn't I just add more!?"

Xuan Wu considers, before shaking his head.

"No, I shouldn't submit to cheating this easily."

The group quickly makes their way out of the forest, panting together.

"Hah, damn mosquitoes, I feel like a starfish!"

Fatty Wang itches all over.

"Damn, what vibrant forest, more like a breeding ground for bugs."

Zi Rougang spits, clearly unimpressed by the forest.

"I-I liked the forest, it was peaceful."

Zuo Lingxin says timidly, her head down.

"Aha, I agree, it was quite a beautiful sight."

Zi Rougang changes his opinion immediately and quickly goes to comfort Zuo Lingxin.

Fatty Wang grinds his teeth, his face flushed.

"Bastard, changing sides so easily because of a girl, have some shame!"

Xuan Wu sighs, moving forward.

"Stop your bickering, like what brother Zi said, we only have 3 months."

"Hehe, hello kids."

Suddenly, a fat man dressed in jewellery and robes walks out of the clearing.

Fatty Wang steps back. "Who are you, brother."

The fat man laughs, rubbing his belly.

"You five must be from the Great Whirlwind sect, how impressive, I sadly got rejected from the sect when I was a child."

His head falls for a moment, then rises back up, his smile eerie.

"Kids, why don't I take you to the Dune Spire kingdom?"

"I don't tru—"

Just as Xuan Wu was about to decline, Zi Rougang steps to the front, clasping his fist and hand together in a salute and bows down.

"Senior, please take us to the Dune Spire kingdom."

Fatty Wang gasps, his head snapping towards Zi Rougang.

"Are you crazy! This man is clearly lying to us!"

Fatty Wang whispers.

Zi Rougang takes a deep breath in.

"But... the Dune Spire kingdom is said to be the best for mortals who want to start cultivating. They say the qi has a certain flavour there that widens your meridians."

"Okay... if it can really expand our meridians, it'll be worth it, and we can easily defeat this guy, we're four and he's one."

The group turns towards the fat man, and they start following him.
