Spirit cultivation technique, he will try to find one in order to finally create a world or at least what he think it is.
After paying the pills, he went through the marketplace some more.
Most techniques are quite basic but he decided to buy them either way.
His wanton buying did attract some attention but seeing he is buying seemingly useless martial arts, the others can't help but look at him like a fool.
"Sir! Sir! Wait! You might be interested in these secret technique."
After he bought a finger technique and a useless exercise that boosts yang energy, the seller suddenly stops him and brings out a box full of old books.
He frowns, he knows that he looks like a rich fool but making him buy these stuff is just too much.
His vital power suddenly churns from his body.
"Wait! Don't be offended, these stuff came from a secret realm, sure some of them are useless but maybe you can find some useful ones." The seller rubs his hands with a cunning light.
Sean feels dismissive but he still checked it out, a system notification appears on his head.
He freezes before calming down, he looks at the seller and asks. "How did you know that I like collecting strange martial arts!? Had you investigated me!?"
His tone is aggressive but his words stunned the seller.
'How can we not know? You've been buying martial arts from all the stalls present here!' The seller screams in his head but outwardly he was smiling respectfully.
"I didn't expect that sir is a collector, I just happened to have sharp eyes for special type of people such as yourself." He flatters.
"Hmm, okay, I'll buy this whole box but I must inform you, I might be eccentric but don't treat as a fool."
His eyes bore through the seller causing the latter to sweat.
"Okay, I am willing to sell the content of this body for one gold coin! Before you complain, inside this box contains 30 different martial arts, I will add a bonus of telling you what secret realm these martial arts came from."
Sean frowns but the system's notification is just too difficult to ignore, taking a deep breath, he takes one coin and flicks it to the seller.
"As expected of sir, you got sharp eyes, all these martial arts came from the secret realm Bloody Moon! All of them are authentic copies too!"
Sean no longer cares about that, taking the box, he left the marketplace.
Wrapping all the martial arts he bought, he calls for a carrier to bring all of it back to his house before going to the largest bank in the city.
"Good morning sir, may I ask what service do you wish to acquire?" Asks a beautiful woman.
Sean is no longer wearing his disguise since he's just exchanging his money.
"I wish to exchange my gold coins into blood crystals." Hearing this, a flash of light appears on the woman's eyes.
Sean looks so young and yet he's already a martial artist.
Only a martial artist is permitted to exchange blood crystals.
They are the most common currency for martial artists, not to mention, absorbing them helps in improvement of vital force.
The exchange rate for the two is a thousand to one.
Not many iron skin and bronze muscle rankers would exchange for it as only silver bones and gold veined rankers are capable of absorbing the strong vital force inside the crystal.
"That would be 2,020 gold coins." Hearing the fee of ten gold coins per crystal, Sean's heart felt like it was being pricked.
He can only sigh in his heart before grabbing the crystal and leaving.
[Found materials for breakthrough process of mystique creatures.]
[Bronze Tier Breakthrough: Increase one trait of the mystique creature.
Requirements: (1) Iron Tier 10; (2) One blood crystal; (3) One spirit stone of at least low tier.]
'Huh? Doesn't this meant that Wuk can't breakthrough bronze tier without these materials?' He was taken aback.
Most mystique creatures just need to absorb spirit energy and increase their vitality to rank up.
It seems that the special circumference of his system made it easier for his mystique creature to evolve but this also putsva restrictions on them when they wanted to rank up.
It seems that he had to start saving up for the subsequent ranking ups of his mystique creatures.
The two are easily available but the spirit stones are incredibly rare treasures rumoured to help spiritual tamers develop their cores.
Spiritual tamers can practice martial arts but there are rumors circulating that they develop a different system for them.
Leaving the bank, he headed straight to the gate pf the city.
With his bronze hunting license, the city guards didn't questioned him and just let him enter.
'From the hunter website, the outer part of the city is relatively safe for bronze muscle rankers.' He thought.
His strength and speed is equal to that of a standard bronze ranker.
Vital Force: 7/12
Taking out a basic replenishing pill, he gulps it down and instantly feels a rush of energy coursing through his veins.
Vital Force: 10/12
Unlike others, he seems to absorbed the entire pill in an instant, that meant that he can just pop a pill and instantly recovers.
He's appreciating his physique more and more.
Wuk seems to be excited, he always wanted to fight but since most battles between mystique creatures are forbidden inside the city, it was feeling bottled up.
"You don't need to hide your appearance anymore." Hearing this, Wuk takes out his hood and starts punching his chest.
"Hahaha! Stop acting like an ape, I know how much of a mischievous monkey you are."
The two of them shuffles through the forest to hunt, with their strength, no individual mystique creatures can contend against them.
There's a plethora of cries that can be heard in the forest.
Wuk has already adapted and was swinging from branches to branches.
Sean was still adapting, all his fighting style are created to fight in a ring rather than in the wilderness, he was having trouble getting his footing.
Skrie! Skrie! Skrie! A couple of boars that has spikes on their backs immediately sensed them.
"I think that we need to learn how to hide our presence if we're going to hunt in this forest for a long time." He added.
Wuk already came down the tree and roars, his body then starts to change, transforming from a thin monkey the size of an average asian man to buffy ape 2 meter tall ape.
Battle Ape Form (Active): Transforms into a battle ape, increasing all physical trait by twofold. [King Kong Punch] tier is increased by one tier in this form.
"Leave one for me!" Seeing his friend charging towards the boars, he can't help but shout.
The boars raises their spikes, they flew towards the two of them at insane speed.
King Kong Punch! Not even caring to dodge it, Wuk sends one punch to disperse all the spikes.
Iron skin activate! The skin on his knuckles hardens.
Jab, dodge and jab, unlike Wuk, he opted into a much more difficult approach.
The two of them quickly arrives in front of the four boars.
They screech once again before charging at them, their speed by no means slow.
'A charging skill!' The rumors that wild mystique creatures knows more skill than those being sold in the store seems true.
In order to survive, they develop a defense mechanism.
Sean leaps at the back of one of the boars approaching him.
Clenching his fist, he sends an all out attack.
King Kong Ironfist! (Fusion between the active state of Ironhide and King Kong Punch)
The back of the boar that seems to be tough was smashed to the ground, this one attack killed it.
BAM! BAM! BAM! Wuk doesn't dodge, he took all the charge head-on, he's surprised to feel just a hint of pain.
With excitement in his eyes, he sends one punch to one of the boars, crushing it in an instant.
The other two quickly realizes that they're outmatched and tried to run but Wuk grabs them before lifting them up and smashing them to the ground.
BOOM! They grunted in pain but still alive and kicking.
King Kong Punch! 2X
Both Sean and Wuk quickly disposed of them with a simultaneous attack.
Killing four iron tier mystique creatures was too easy for them, probably, only bronze tier can prove a challenge to them.
"Let us eat!" He laughs out loud, suddenly, a figure came out of his bag, with all the commotion, Jasmine was of course startled.
"Oh right! I nearly forgot about you." Hearing this, she looks at him with a pout.
"Hahaha! I'm sorry, come here, let me show you how your senior brother managed to achieve his current strength."
Taking out a book, he was smiling happily, it was written in a unknown language but it seems to carry a mysterious aura.
[Absorb ??? to create a customized cultivation technique for Jasmine and Spirit Nurturing Technique for the host?]
He looks at the cute white fox in his hand and asks. "Are you prepared? The process is quite painful, you can ask your senior brother about it."
Wuk who has already reverted to his original form nods his head.
The experience back on the shop still vivid in his mind.
The fox nods her head with determination, she knows her race is actually quite weak and are known as just flower vase in this world.
To obtain the opportunity to change her destiny is something that her species desperately sought after.
Nodding his head, he had the system absorb the book.
The unknown characters inside the book suddenly starts to glow brightly before flying inside Sean.
[Obtained Blood Moon Technique... System is fixing the flaws... Requires a calming method...]
He was shocked but he quickly search in his memories about chant and some sutras he read about.
They are either rudimentary or incomplete but this are the only methods he knows.
[Obtain methods from memories... Spirit Nurturing Technique created, Ninetail Lunar Fox Cultivation Technique created.]
Spirit Nurturing Technique: A technique created to nurture spirit. Has a small chance of creating a small world inside the user.
[Small world created, changes is now being made for the Spirit Nurturing Technique, renaming cultivation technique to Beast World Cultivation.]
Beast World Cultivation (Incomplete): A cultivation method that links the practitioner to the very essence of his contracted mystique creatures. The elements of the mystique creatures would enrich the small world.
Name: Beast World
Element: Metal, Yin (Lunar)
Tier: Small world
Capacity: 10 m²
Limit: 4 living beings, world can't contain anything else other than the host's bonded creatures.
A sudden rush of power courses through his veins, a sense of enlightenment dawns on him.
After a while, he finally recovers and checks his status.

It Seems that he had gained another innate ability.
Charm: Radiates an aura that attracts and allure the opposite gender of the host's race.
Passive: increases the charm of the host.
Active: Attracts the attention of every living beings in the area, stunning them for a short while.
His eyes starts to shine, he wasn't attracted to it's concept of attracting the opposite gender but the definition of the active state.
He can use it to stun the enemy, probably even interfering with their skill or technique just like the charging skill.
But the effect of the skill will definitely affect his day-to-day life, it seems that he needs something to hide his face once he return back to the city.
'A facemask would be good together with a cap or I'll just start wearing a hoodie that only shows my face?' He ponders.
Suddenly, besides him, Jasmine starts whimpering.
Wuk and him already expected this and watches her carefully.
Taking a basic replenishing pill, he recovers three vital force in an instant.
Wuk doesn't need any pill as he rips apart one of the boars and starts devouring it.
