I woke up with a refreshing feeling. I felt stronger, smarter, and even taller. It took me a while to understand that all of these were true. I had become 3 meters tall, weighing 1 ton. Not only was I physically stronger, but my qi was also more powerful, having been liquefied.
My head felt just better and I felt that the foundation of the mind palace was almost complete. The downside is that I will need a lot of accumulation or an herb that boosts the mind to break through.
My talent for cultivation seemed also affected by those changes: my qi flowed better and faster inside my meridians and it quickly absorbed the raw qi outside too.
I decided to take a look at my status window.
Name:
Kuma Zhao
Race:
Epic YinYang Bear
CULTIVATION
Qi
Early False Core realm
Mental
9th layer palace foundation realm
Physical
1st layer organs refinement realm
SKILLS
Spirit Sense (Lv 19) - Crystal mind palace foundation (Lv 9) - Bear combat style (Lv max) - Elemental Qi manipulation (Lv 5) - Stealth III (Lv 1) - Regeneration III (Lv 1) - Flight - Epic Bloodline
Let’s look at things in order. My qi and physical cultivation have advanced to the False Core and organs refining realms respectively. Now that the relevant memories have been unlocked I know that the Core Formation realm is in reality a macro realm containing within it three micro realms: the False Core realm, the Golden Core realm, and the True Core realm. Each micro realm is divided into three stages: Early, Middle, and High.

Then I looked at the skill section. I had a maxed-out skill and two new skills. I started checking out the new skills and they disappeared. A new influx of information entered my head. Now I knew how to mobilize qi to create footholds under my paws to fly. Other than this I also received a lot of information regarding how to better manipulate Yin and Yang qi. This made the Elemental qi manipulation skill evolve in elemental skill armor.
In the end, I concentrated on the Bear combat style skill that had probably been maxed out for a while now. The last time I looked at it, it was at Level 9 and I had completed my breakthrough at the foundation establishment after the meeting with the white monkeys in the sect’s secret realm.
It too disappeared and instead appeared a bunch of different options between which to choose my future path.

The choice was tough but in the end, I chose the war bear combat style.
[Would you like to choose a secondary combat style to fuse the chosen combat style with?]
(I) “I can do that?! Hell yeah I would”
“I will choose…”
