Cultivation with a System in the Modern World Crystal Kirk
The waiter led them to a table by the large transparent window, offering a stunning view of the cityscape. The four of them took their seats, with an extra chair remaining vacant. Danial, ever curious, glanced at Maria and casually asked, "Is there anyone you are waiting for, Maria?"Maria smiled mysteriously and replied, "Yes, I am waiting for someone."Danial initially thought Maria might be expecting Leonard, who was notably absent. However, he was unaware that Leonard was still in the medical room. As the waiter handed out the menus, Pavan opened his and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. The prices were exorbitant, with a single bottle of water costing a hundred somer dollars. Pavan closed the menu comically and waited.Danial also saw the prices and felt a twinge of discomfort. He looked at Maria and said, "Are you sure we want to dine here? It's so expensive."Maria gave a sweet smile and reassured him, "It's alright, this is nothing."Danial finally understood what it mea

Danial smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Kirk, I’ve decided. I’ll agree to teach you how to control the fire element, but I have a few conditions."Miss Kirk raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his boldness. "Oh? And what might those conditions be?"Danial took a deep breath, steadying himself before he spoke. "Firstly, I want full autonomy in how I teach you. I won’t be micromanaged or dictated to in this process."Miss Kirk smiled but said nothing, her silence encouraging him to continue."Secondly, I want to know why you want to learn the fire element so badly. Could there be another reason behind this?" Danial's gaze was unwavering, searching for any sign of deceit.Miss Kirk's smile faltered slightly, and her expression grew more guarded. "Danial, I want to learn because I want to get stronger."Danial didn’t believe her, but he had no concrete way to challenge her statement directly. Her answer felt too vague, too rehearsed. Something didn’t sit right with him. He thought for a moment, an

The thought of finally having a way to control the Frostborn Physique—a condition that had tormented her for years—was almost too much to comprehend.

Could she really trust him? The weight of his claims pressed down on her, and she realized just how much was at stake.With trembling eyes, she finally spoke, her voice laced with a mixture of hope and fear, "Danial, do you understand the weight of those words? Do you have any idea what would happen if whatever you said is not true but false?" Her tone was sharp, almost accusatory, To be perfectly honest, Danial did feel intimidated. The enormity of what he was offering wasn't lost on him. But he took a steadying breath, drawing strength from the knowledge that had been passed down to h

He had a singular goal in mind: to learn more about the cultivation techniques he desperately needed. His thoughts were focused on Marvin, his mentor, who always seemed to have the answers. Determined, Danial quickly got ready and set out to find Marvin.After a quick breakfast, Danial left his dorm and made his way toward Marvin's quarters. The academy grounds were still relatively quiet, with only a few early risers moving about. As he approached the main entrance of the academy, he noticed something unusual—a large crowd had gathered. Drawn by the spectacle, Danial veered off course to see what was happening.The crowd was thick, and Danial had to navigate his way through, finally finding a spot where he could get a better view.

This hall, the most prestigious in the academy, was reserved for only the most significant events and visitors. Elysia and Oliver had personally come to welcome the delegation, understanding the importance of showing respect to these foreign representatives.Elysia, known far and wide as the God of War, was determined to keep her composure. As she walked beside Oliver, her mind was already working to suppress her irritation. She could sense the arrogance emanating from the Emsgate representatives, but she knew better than to let her emotions dictate her actions. "I must control my temper in front of them," she thought, her expression remaining calm. "Their personalities are arrogant to the core, but I will not give them the satisfaction of seeing me lose control."Upon reaching the stage in Hall Alpha, Elysia took the lead. With a warm, yet formal smile, she

Tanya was lost in thought, replaying the scene of Danial wielding such incredible power, when a voice snapped her back to reality.Just then, a voice snapped her out of her reverie. "Tanya, what are you doing?"Startled, Tanya turned around quickly, instinctively dissipating her protective shield as she faced the voice's source. It was Diego, the man with glasses, one of her fellow representatives from Emsgate. He was looking at her with a curious expression, his eyes narrowing slightly as he adjusted his glasses."I was looking at something," Tanya replied, trying to keep her voice steady as she masked her earlier surprise. She wasn’t sure if she should mention what she had seen. There was something about Danial that intrigued her, and she wasn’t ready to share it just yet.Diego raised his glasses slightly, his gaze studying her for a moment longer before he spoke again. "Alright, we have to go. The tour is almost over, and we’re expected back with the rest of the delegation."Tanya

Danial remained kneeling, his knee pressing into the cold floor of the headmaster’s office. His heart pounded in his chest, and the weight of the headmaster’s presence was crushing. Every instinct told him to remain still, to not even think about looking up. But curiosity got the better of him.Summoning what little courage he had left, Danial began to lift his head, hoping to catch a glimpse of the headmaster's face. However, as his gaze inched upward, an unbearable pain suddenly seared through his mind, like hot needles being driven into his skull. He winced, his vision swimming as the pain intensified, forcing him to lower his head once more while he gritted his teeth.Frustration welled up inside him, mingling with the pain. He wanted to see the man who held such power over him, the one who had summoned him to this place, but no matter how hard he tried, the headmaster’s face remained an indecipherable blur. It was as though some invisible force was deliberately obscuring his feat

Danial woke up the next morning and had a healthy breakfast in the academy's common cafeteria. After that, he went straight ahead toward training. However as he was walking, he noticed the Emsgate representatives walk past him. He ignored them but a voice came through,"Hey are you Danial?"Danial paused mid-step, turning his head slightly to see who had spoken. The girl with the white eyes and tied hair was looking directly at him, a small smile playing on her lips. Danial’s brow furrowed in confusion. Surely she wasn’t talking to him, right? He glanced around, hoping to find someone else who might have caught her attention, but the hallway was empty except for them.The girl giggled, a sound that seemed almost musical in the stillness of the corridor. "Yes, I’m talking to you."Danial turned fully to face her, his expression puzzled as he pointed to himself. "Me?"The girl nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, you’re Danial, aren’t you?"Danial felt a flicker of unease. How did she know

Crystal descended into the rocky arena, her icy-blue eyes scanning the terrain. The environment was filled with jagged hills, uneven terrain, and rocky outcroppings—an arena that would test movement and adaptability. Danial leaned against the railing, watching her with a small smile, fully confident in her victory.Just as the match was about to begin, Leonard approached from behind, patting Danial’s shoulder with a smug grin."Danial, did you see my match just now? The tricks I used had him completely baffled—haha!"Danial turned to look at him, blinking. "That was your match?"Leonard’s face fell. The excitement in his eyes flickered. "Yeah… you didn’t see it?"Danial quickly realized his mistake and tried to salvage the situation. "Leonard, I didn’t know your match was happening. I’m sorry."Leonard forced a smile, waving it off. "Alright, no worries." He turned and walked away, but as he did, the forced smile gradually faded.Danial sighed, feeling a little guilty, but his attenti

The crowd roared in anticipation as each match brought forth new surprises, showcasing the sheer talent and determination of the academy's young warriors. Danial sat with Crystal, both observing the ongoing battles with quiet interest.Crystal turned to him and asked, "You already won two matches. This guarantees your spot in the Final Stage tomorrow. Who do you think your final opponent will be?"Danial shrugged, his expression calm. "I don't know," he replied simply.Just as he finished speaking, movement from the side caught his attention. Pavan had returned from the infirmary, his head and shoulders wrapped in fresh bandages. His steps were steady, but the slight wince as he moved revealed that his injuries hadn’t fully healed.Danial immediately got up and walked over to him, his brows furrowed in concern. "Why are you out of the infirmary? Your body needs rest."Pavan groaned, waving his hand dismissively.

Tyler staggered slightly as he stepped down from the arena, his legs trembling, his face pale. The match had been brief—too brief—but the experience had left a lasting impression on him. No, it wasn’t just the match itself; it was the gaze. That chilling, soul-crushing gaze that had locked onto him as if stripping away every ounce of his being. It was unlike anything he had ever faced before.His master approached, his eyes filled with concern as he placed a firm hand on Tyler’s shoulder. “Are you okay?”Tyler did not answer immediately. He walked in silence, each step feeling heavier than the last. His master was about to repeat the question when Tyler finally spoke, his voice hollow.“I want to withdraw from the tournament.”The words were so unexpected that his master was momentarily stunned. Tyler was not one to give up easily. He had trained relentlessly, fought fiercely, and had dreams of proving himself. Yet now, standing before him, was not the same student who had entered thi
Cultivation with a System in the Modern World The Return of the Drakon
As Kyle Drakon stepped into the light, an almost ethereal presence seemed to radiate from him. For someone so young, he was nothing short of stunning—majestic in a way that defied mere good looks. His face, strikingly symmetrical with high cheekbones and a sharp jawline, carried an air of effortless majesty. His nose was straight and refined, giving him a noble appearance, while his lips, neither too thin nor too full, were naturally set in a calm, unreadable expression. His skin was smooth, almost flawless, as if sculpted by the finest artisan, carrying a faint glow under the arena’s illumination.His jet-black hair, slightly messy yet undeniably stylish, fell in layered waves around his forehead and temples, enhancing the intensity of his features. Each step he took exuded confidence, his strides measured, unhurried—he moved like a sovereign who did not need to prove himself, yet commanded attention wherever he went.But it was his eyes that truly held everyone captive.A deep crims

The air inside the arena buzzed with excitement as the next match was announced. The announcer’s voice boomed across the coliseum.“Next match! Crystal Kirk of Somerland versus Zaria Dvornik of Krolea! The battle conditions—desert environment, no elemental abilities allowed!”Danial's expression hardened. He understood the gravity of this situation. Crystal’s greatest strength lay in her ice element, and now, she was being forced to fight in the most unfavourable terrain possible. A desert battlefield? There was no moisture in the air, no chance of manipulating frost, and worst of all—sweltering heat sapping her stamina.As Crystal stepped forward, she caught Danial’s expression and smirked. “Worried about me?”Danial folded his arms. “Just assessing the conditions. This isn’t exactly in your favour.”Crystal chuckled. “It never is.” With that, she strode toward the arena entrance, her icy confidence unwavering.Danial exhaled sharply, watching as she disappeared into the tunnel leadi
Cultivation with a System in the Modern World Arguments
Danial and Crystal lingered in the infirmary for a while longer, chatting with Pavan, who continued to grumble about his forced diet while sneaking glances at the nurses, hoping one of them would take pity on him. When it became clear that none of them were willing to defy Abby’s orders, he slumped back onto the bed with a defeated sigh.“You guys better eat well while you still can,” Pavan muttered dramatically. “I might never taste good food again.”Danial rolled his eyes while Crystal smirked. “You’re acting like you’re being sent to prison,” she said. “It’s just a diet.”Pavan sat up and pointed at her with a solemn expression. “For a man like me, a diet is worse than prison.”Crystal laughed while Danial shook his head. “Just rest, Pavan. You’ll need your strength for the next rounds.”With that, Danial and Crystal left the infirmary, walking side by side through the long corridors. The scent of antiseptics and medicine slowly faded, replaced by the crisp air of the academy halls
Cultivation with a System in the Modern World A Dream Shattered, A Meal Devoured
Abby rushed into the arena, her heart pounding as she sprinted toward the fallen Pavan. She knelt beside him, her sharp eyes scanning his battered body. Blood dripped from his wounds, staining the ground beneath him. But even in his injured state, Pavan had not lost his spirit."Pavan, you have done well," Abby said softly, her voice filled with both pride and concern.Pavan, barely conscious, managed a small hum in response before his body went completely limp. Abby’s expression darkened as she turned her gaze toward Egbert, who stood proudly in the arena, basking in the cheers of the crowd. His arrogance was evident as he waved at the audience as if he had just achieved a great victory. Abby scoffed, her grip on Pavan tightening as she walked away without sparing Egbert another glance.Egbert simply snorted, unimpressed by her reaction, before continuing to soak in the adoration of the spectators. Meanwhile, among the crowd, Danial frowned heavily. He had seen the entire match unfol
Cultivation with a System in the Modern World Crimson Reaper’s First Form
Egbert vanished from his position, appearing instantly before Pavan like a crimson blur. His sword whistled through the air as he delivered a deceptively simple horizontal slash, its force enough to ripple the atmosphere around them.Pavan barely had time to process what was happening. Instinctively, he raised his sword to defend himself, the blade trembling in his grip.CLANG!The clash reverberated through the arena like a thunderclap. The sheer force of the impact sent Pavan skidding back, his boots carving deep grooves into the arena floor as he was pushed a full ten meters before managing to stop. His arms trembled uncontrollably as he looked down, his face pale.His fingers tightened around his blade, but the sight before him made his stomach drop—his sword, forged from the academy's renowned ore, now bore a jagged chip near the centre. How is this possible? He thought. These swords weren’t ordinary; they were designed to withstand the harshest of battles. And yet, a single stri
Cultivation with a System in the Modern World A Dangerous Match
The announcer’s voice echoed through the massive arena, amplifying the excitement of the crowd. “The next match is between Pavan from Somerland and Egbert Ray from Xeria!”The crowd erupted into a deafening roar, their enthusiasm palpable. Flags bearing the symbols of both academies waved in the air, and cheers filled every corner of the stadium. Pavan took a deep breath, trying to steel his nerves as the noise washed over him.Danial stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. His voice was calm but firm. “It’s alright, Pavan. You’ve got this.”Pavan turned to Danial, his lips forming a faint smile. “Thanks, Danial.” With a quick nod, he turned and made his way toward the arena, his footsteps steady but deliberate.As Pavan’s figure disappeared into the crowd, Crystal, who had been uncharacteristically silent, suddenly broke the quiet. “This is bad,” she said, her tone grave.Danial frowned, sensing the seriousness in her voice. “What do you mean?”Crystal’s eyes na
