When system cheat becomes rampant!

When he talked about the moonprint, he was filled with admiration for the Divine Lord.

After a while, he said: "You have one on your arm too, but your moonprint is still at the New Moon stage, while mine is nearing Full Moon."

Jiang Shan proudly showed Xiang Beifei his moonprint.

Xiang Beifei grasped Jiang Shan's arm, a surge of invisible power passed to Jiang Shan's moonprint, and suddenly his expression froze, then his face darkened.

This moonprint is a very strange Gu worm, parasitizing on people's arms in the shape of a moonprint, devouring the Spiritual Power each person cultivates.

Jiang Shan, along with everyone in the Changpan Tribe, had been indoctrinated by the Moon God since childhood with the idea that their Human Race could not cultivate, was the most lowly race, and that the ability to cultivate was a gift from the Moon God.

But in fact, the Human Race is the most potent race, a powerful race that all others aspire to! Whether it's the Pierced Chest Tribe, Jiāojìng Tribe, or those Meat-Winged Monsters, their ultimate form of cultivation always aligns with that of the Human Race because the Human Race's form is the most suited for cultivation!

The Human Race is born with their own Dao embryo and the ability to cultivate, not mere mortals, but favored children of the Heavenly Dao, genuinely more powerful in cultivation than other Yi Tribes!

Many races envy the Human Race, because their ability to cultivate is fixed, while humans can cultivate various abilities.

Yet these captive humans have no idea of their abilities, they don't understand what Spiritual Power signifies. They started cultivating the Moon God Fist from a young age, managing to cultivate a bit of Spiritual Power relying on a set of poor techniques.

In reality, this Spiritual Power doesn't come from the moonprint, but from within themselves. Once each person painstakingly cultivates a little Spiritual Power, the moonprint Gu worm on their arm devours the Spiritual Power within the human!

This means whenever the captive humans cultivate, they're essentially helping those Gu worms cultivate; their results are consumed by the Gu worms!

And every time they go out hunting, if they want to deal with the desolate beast, the Gu worm will only give out a bit of Spiritual Power to help them avoid danger, preventing humans from being devoured, which would leave the Gu worm without a host!

Such a sinister method!

Xiang Beifei released Jiang Shan's arm and asked: "What do Full Moon and New Moon mean?"

Jiang Shan touched the moonprint on his injured arm and said: "The moonprint represents our cultivation level. The stronger we cultivate, the more perfect the moonprint becomes. The newly given moonprint is called New Moon. Our cultivation process is divided into: New Moon, Crescent, Half-Moon, Waxing, Full Moon. You're currently a New Moon, just have a look."

New Moon is the lunar phase at the beginning or end of the month, Crescent is similar to a scythe, Half-Moon is a half moon, Waxing is the beginning of the gibbous phase, then comes Full Moon.

This means the ultimate form of the Gu worm is Full Moon.

Xiang Beifei traced his arm, instantly disguising a fine crescent-like mark on his arm, then asked: "What happens if you cultivate to Full Moon?"

"The Divine Envoy said that our Human Race is the weakest, when we cultivate to the Full Moon level, it means reaching the human limit, and further cultivation would yield no more progress. We must go to the Moon God Palace. There, the Divine Envoy will use special methods to allow us to break through the human body's limits."

Jiang Shan's expression was filled with longing, clearly, the Moon God Palace is a very sacred place in the hearts of these people here.

"I've already cultivated to the near Full Moon level; if all goes well, in two months, the Divine Envoy will come and take me to the Moon God Palace." Jiang Shan said.

Xiang Beifei became even angrier.

Jiang Shan's current strength is roughly at the late Meridian Opening stage, and this is achieved without awakening his Dao embryo.

The human limit has never been the late Meridian Opening stage, but a much higher realm!

Yet the Meat-Winged Monsters deceive the humans here with various lies, belittle their identity, and use their bodies to nurture Gu worms!

If I'm not wrong, those who cultivate to "Full Moon," when they reach the Moon God Palace, it might just be the beginning of their nightmare!

Yet people here remain unaware, still taking entrance to the Moon God Palace as their ultimate goal!

Xiang Beifei said: "Have none of you considered what you'll become after cultivating in the Moon God Palace? After going there to cultivate, will they return?"

Jiang Shan replied: "It's said that successful cultivation there is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, growing wings, becoming part of the Moon God tribe, and surpassing us servants beyond comparison."

"If they truly succeed in cultivation, why don't they come back to protect the Human Race? If they're so formidable, coming back to protect the tribe would free everyone from torment, wouldn't it?" Xiang Beifei wanted Jiang Shan to wake up.

Yet Jiang Shan sternly said: "There's a distinction between the divine and the mortal. Once they become Divine Envoys, they're no longer part of the Human Race; their future is radiant, carrying a mission with more important matters to complete. It's not their fault, it's our own weakness for being unable to keep up with them that is to be blamed."

Xiang Beifei wanted to continue talking, but after pondering for a moment, decided not to.

These thoughts are deeply ingrained in everyone's mind here; they've been indoctrinated to revere the Meat-Winged Monsters from early on, and Xiang Beifei's unsupported words were incapable of changing anything.

He needed to find his own way to approach it.

Xiang Beifei watched the young men practicing their fists, these youths were supposed to be the future of the Human Race, each having their own potential, yet here they become hosts for the Gu worms, and the fruits of their hard work are devoured by the Gu worms, which infuriates him.

"Woof woof?" Xiaohei asked.

"It's not impossible to get rid of them, but I need to study these Gu worms carefully." Xiang Beifei said.

Simply killing these Gu worms is too lenient; he needs to see if he can make them regurgitate the Spiritual Power they've devoured.

"You first watch them practicing fists, see if you recall anything, you practiced fists here back then too." Jiang Shan said.

"Alright."

Xiang Beifei walked to a nearby tree. While pondering on how to handle the Gu worm issue, he inadvertently kicked a stone that rolled aside. Looking down, he found it's a dark stone, not paying attention, he lifted and righted the stone casually.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, a gasp of astonishment came from behind.

"What happened?" Xiang Beifei turned around, puzzled, looking at Jiang Shan, whose face was one of shock.

"Xiao Houzi, you... did you just lift the martial stone?" Jiang Shan exclaimed.

"Martial stone?"

Xiang Beifei glanced down at the stone again, realizing it seemed special. The stone was shaped like an ancient square lock head, with a horizontal bar in the middle, specifically for lifting practice arm strength.

"Should I not lift it?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"It's a two hundred-pound martial stone!" Jiang Shan looked at Xiang Beifei incredulously, "You used to complain about lifting fifty pounds! But now... how you..."

Jiang Shan's breathing became rapid.

How did his child suddenly seem like a different person?

"Ah, this..."

Xiang Beifei was somewhat embarrassed, lifting a two hundred-pound martial stone seemed excessive.

He was about to respect as a criterion to correct Jiang Shan's perception, but then more voices were heard behind: "Look! Xiao Houzi can actually lift a two hundred martial stone!"

"How did Xiao Houzi suddenly become so strong?"

"Could it be that after he was attacked and lost memory by the desolate beast yesterday, he's become stronger?"

Some boys who also saw Xiang Beifei lift the martial stone exclaimed; it prompted others to turn their heads.

Soon, a middle-aged man supervising the young men practicing fist came over, looking astonished at Xiang Beifei: "Xiao Houzi, what happened just now? I saw you lifted the two hundred-pound martial stone! Lao Liu, did I see it wrong?"

"No, I saw it too." Jiang Shan said.

"Xiao Houzi, lift one more time." The middle-aged man said.

More and more youths gathered around, it seemed everyone knew about him lifting two hundred pounds now, all eager to see Xiang Beifei lift again.

Xiang Beifei pondered a bit, realizing this was an opportunity.
