As I observed my reflection in the mirror, assessing my appearance, I was startled by the sudden appearance of a panel in front of me. This surprising event left me puzzled yet also filled with excitement. Could this be my cheat code?

[Name: Xinli

Race: Human

Bone age: 17

Bloodline: not awakened

Physique: not awakened

Spiritual root: 7 damage (demoted from 8 due to Qi deviation)

Comprehensiveness: unknown

Innate Talent: Forbidden pupil of the eyes

Cultivation realm: Qi gathering realm 3rd (99%); Damage (demoted from 5th layer due to Qi deviation)

Skills: none]

"What the fuck is this? I thought I was getting heaven defying system. Whatever, let's observe"

I'm unsure how my spiritual roots compare to others, but what is this unknown within comprehensiveness? Either I am way better than others or I have no comprehension at all. Am I dumb?

My bloodline and physique have not been awakened. To unlock them, I need to fulfill some requirements, I think.

"Moreover, my instinct is telling me that my revival is connected to this innate ability. Hmmm, but how do I even learn what it does?"

Suddenly, when I muttered, my forbidden pupil of the eyes started to shake a little.

An interference panel appeared.

[Forbidden Pupil of the Eyes: an innate talent that can help the user to figure out out-of-ordinary things, improve reaction time, improve comprehension, enhance skills, and show a panel of oneself and others

Reminder: The panel of other beings that can be viewed is limited to being no more than two realms above your own]

"Ohh, even though this is not actually a system, its role is kinda similar"

As I contemplated the newfound potential unlocked by my forbidden pupil of the eyes, a sense of satisfaction washed over me.

"Wow, this will undoubtedly ease my journey towards becoming a powerful being," I muttered, nodding in affirmation.

"But, how did this previous Xinli get the Qi deviation?" A question lingered in my mind as I saw that my spiritual roots and cultivation were damaged.

I tried to remember the events that led to this condition, but my memories were fragmented and unclear…. Rather blurry.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

However, I recall that the Mo clan was somehow involved. There are four powerful clans within Black-Wind Town, and the Mo clan is one of them; the other three are the Xu Clan, the Sha Clan, and the Cao Clan.

"Just you wait fuckers, when my time arises, yours gonna end, dead end," I sneered.

"For now, let's put thoughts of dealing with this matter aside and focus on the current situation. Ummm, I should go outside to gather some information so I can prepare for upcoming events.

Who knows, maybe we'll get some good news? Also, I'm feeling quite hungry."

Gazing at my reflection in the mirror, the sight of my tattered attire sparked a sudden realization—I looked every bit the part of a beggar in these worn garments, Shit.

Determined to change my appearance to more respectable manners, I searched through my drawer until I found a suitable robe dress. After a brief second, I found a wearable robe.

Putting it on, I felt a sense of satisfaction; I nodded to myself, "It will do,"

After a quick refreshment, I stepped out into the world, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

"Creak"

As I opened the door and walked out of my home, I found myself in the middle of a busy street filled with people.

Some were martial artists, easily recognizable by their attractive uniforms, while others were just regular folks going about their day. Surprisingly, everyone seemed to get along just fine.

The Black-Wind Town is one of the towns that the nearby Starlight City governs. We all had to follow the rules set by the royals or face the severe consequences that lay ahead. You'd often see guards patrolling around, making sure everyone was behaving.

As I walked around, I couldn't help but notice how lively everything was. There were vendors selling spices, kids playing heartfully, and a general sense of activity everywhere.

Despite the normalcy, there was also a feeling of mystery. It was as if secrets were waiting to be uncovered, like new adventures were waiting for us.

As I continued my stroll, I couldn't help but keenly observe the world around me…

"Hey, lad, come here! I have a high-quality skill book manual! It will undoubtedly make you a formidable person after cultivating it!" A man bellowed, his voice cutting through the lively marketplace.

'Then cultivate yourself to become a formidable person. Why the hell are you yelling at me?' I thought, a wry smile playing on my lips as I ignored his enthusiastic sales pitch.

Not far off, another merchant caught my attention with an even more outlandish offer. "Hey, handsome boy, do you want pills? This one's good. It'll make you immortal!" He shouted, his voice carrying over the crowd.

"…"

'Then swallow the pill yourself and become immortal... Stop shouting,' I retorted inwardly, shaking my head at the audacity of the sales tactics.

Despite the hustle and bustle, I remained unnoticed, just another face in the crowd... unrecognized.

But this is quite good for me; the fewer people who know me…., the fewer problems I have to face.

But, of course, I jinxed it. Suddenly, someone forcefully pushed me, and I ended up on the ground…...

"????"

"Get out of my way, you lowlife commoner! Tsk," a boy with a bulky physique and a saber strapped to his back, looking like a wealthy family kid, yelled at me.

"???"

As he walked away, he spat on the ground without giving me any glances as to whether I was okay or not.

My anger surged, coursing through my veins like wildfire, threatening to consume me whole.

'Like, WTF is wrong with this bitch?' I seethed inwardly, my frustration simmering beneath the surface, urging me to lash out.

Just as I wanted to kick his head like a football, my rational mind persuaded me, a voice of caution reminding me of the dangers lurking in this world.

What if I offended someone who was not worth offending? What if my actions led to consequences far beyond my control?

I clenched my fists, forcing myself to maintain composure despite the raging storm. "I must remain in control. I must be cautious..."

But deep down, a part of me rebelled against such restraint. "But, like, I care?" Thank God, my inner demon did not come out…

"I forget that this world is full of shitholes," I muttered under my breath, my frustration bubbling to the surface despite my efforts to suppress it.

Taking a deep breath, I resisted the urge to confront the jerk who had so callously shoved me aside. Instead, I resolved to deal with him later in a manner more befitting of my discretion.
