Face-Slapping System



Roland closed his eyes and clutched his head as he laid back to the bed. The transfer of knowledge was quite painful, even for him who has already leveled his soul thrice.

He could only grit his teeth as he waited for the downpour of knowledge and information to stop. However, it seems that Roland was not in luck this time.

The knowledge transfer lasted for a whole ten minutes before it finally stopped. Allowing Roland to take a breather from the searing pain inside his head.

"Are you alright?" At this time, even Stacey was woken up by his muffled groan of pain.

Fortunately, the knowledge transfer was already over.

"Yes, don't worry about it. Just had a bad dream," Roland stated, comforting Stacey.

Stacey wiped the sweat on his forehead and gave him a kiss on the forehead, "It's alright, I'm here."

She caressed his forehead with a lot of care, as if to wipe Roland's bad dream away.

Roland nodded his head in appreciation. Although there was no dream to swipe, the residual pain seemed to have faded faster after Stacey's caring strokes.

After a while, Roland finally convinced Stacey that he was already okay. It was only then did Stacey decide to fall back asleep again.

After confirming that Stacey had already fallen asleep, Roland also digested what he just learned from the knowledge that he just got.

Apparently, cultivators would absorb an energy they termed as Heaven Energy to nourish their body and soul.

Using a cultivation method or a method that allowed them to absorb and refine this energy, they were able to strengthen themselves beyond human limits to do unimaginable things that normal humans would only label as mere fantasy.

The Basics to Cultivation introduced a lot of things. Including how one would prepare themselves before cultivating.

It also stated that the optimal age for a person to start cultivating was by the age of 16-18 as it was the age where the bones started to grow even resilient and tough, and at the same time, extremely adaptable.

The Basics to Cultivation also mentioned that not everyone could cultivate. It depends on one's affinity to it, and if one was not fated to be a cultivator, then they would not be able to cultivate no matter what.

Becoming a cultivator was not an easy path. It was filled with dangers no matter where you went. The competition for resources was even more fierce. It was not an easy path that one should recklessly set foot to. If not prepared, one would even die before they could achieve their goals.

With the help of the Basics of Cultivation(Knowledge), it could be said that Roland's understanding about cultivators has reached an unprecedented level. Perhaps, his knowledge might even be greater than what real cultivators like Carrol and Razor. This was how vast the knowledge that the Basics of Cultivations contained. And this same vast knowledge was acquired by Roland just like that.

And speaking of Razor, the Basics of Cultivation also mentioned someone like him. People who use evil methods to grow strong are termed as Devil Cultivators or Evil Cultivators in the cultivation world. They were the kind of people that would stop at nothing just to improve their strength. Razor's cultivation for example, was a cultivation method that can enslave others in order to rear them and consume them in the future to improve one's strength.

This kind of cultivation method was just one of the many cultivation methods that has existed.

And speaking of cultivation methods, the System seemed to have rewarded him with one as well.

Roland shifted his eyesight towards the System screen in front of him.

[Reward: Basics of Cultivation(Knowledge) has been distributed]

[Host, do you want to receive the Universal Cultivation Method(Level 1) now?

Note: The Universal Cultivation Method is top secret and must not be shared to anyone else. This cultivation method is exclusive to the Host. Failure to comply will result in extremely harsh punishment.]

Seeing the System giving him the note the second time, Roland realized just how important this cultivation method was.

And without any more hesitation, Roland accepted this Universal Cultivation Method exclusive to him alone.

Roland closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, getting ready for the incoming onslaught of information once again. However, instead of pain inside his brain, Roland only felt a gentle breeze brushing past him before the expected onslaught of information receded.

Roland opened his eyes in surprise and elation. It was fortunate that it did not come with pain like the Basics of Cultivation.

As he felt elated, Roland hurriedly accessed the gained knowledge and he noticed something different right away.

The moment he thought of the cultivation method, an actual book actually materialized inside his head at the same time.

Roland was taken aback but hurriedly recovered from his shock. He observed the book closely and noticed that it actually looked clean and brand new.

The book was seemingly floating in mid-air. It kept on rotating itself, as if to show its whole self to Roland. The book was not big, only the size of a human head. It was also not thick, indicating that the content inside was not numerous.

The title, 'Universal Cultivation' was printed at the cover of the book with golden and majestic markings and a unique font that Roland had never seen before. Roland observed the rotating book with great curiosity.

After admiring the title, Roland finally flipped the front cover open with a single thought.

And as if complying to his orders, the book cover was actually lifted open, revealing the first page of the book.

Which was surprisingly, just a blank space…

Anyways, Roland did not think too much about it as he thought of flipping the page once again.

This time, Roland could finally see some contents inside of it. With great curiosity, Roland read the text written on the first page.

"The Universe as your furnace, the stars your weapon, and planets your meridian, cultivate the ultimate secret and control Heaven as if it is your own…"

Reading that first sentence, something seemed to have exploded inside Roland's head.
