Life Changing System

Bai Chen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. She was indeed the mysterious woman he had to talk with in order to complete Mission 12.

He tried to calm himself down regarding the flying sword matter. Despite how shocking it was, the sword was not enough to take his attention away from the mission he had received.

Furthermore, now he had the amazing Life Changing System, which made him less flummoxed by extraordinary stuff like a flying sword.

Out of the blue, she said, “Elder.”

Her voice was just as indescribably beautiful as before. Her demeanor was still calm and collected.

No one knew how agitated and restless she was inside. Her heart was beating fast without pause.

The person who had made her this way was the 30-year-old man in front of her.

She looked at him and thought agitatedly, ‘This man is definitely in the Sky Soaring stage. Otherwise, there’s no way he could walk in the air without a flying sword.’

Bai Chen blinked. He could not control his curiosity as to why the mysterious woman had been calling him her Elder.

“Uh… what’s your name?” he asked.

​ Though he was curious, Bai Chen did not ask anything out loud to alleviate his curiosity. This was because his only duty was to talk to her to get the mission done.

The mysterious woman bowed her head and bent down a little. She put her hands together the way martial artists in movies usually did to respectfully greet each other.

“Dear Elder, my last name is Xu and my first name is Xue Ning. I’m from the Lunar Land Academy,” she told Bai Chen respectfully.

“The Lunar Land Academy…” Bai Chen’s lips moved slightly. He did not know what to say.

His brows knitted together. He did not have the faintest idea what the Lunar Land Academy was. Furthermore, the words that she used were rather archaic, like those that were used in ancient times or martial arts movies.

“Elder might not know our academy because we are quite small. There are only a few of us.”

Xu Xue Ning looked at Bai Chen. Seeing his knitted brows, she could easily guess that he was running through the Lunar Land Academy in the list of academy names in his memory.

“Oh,” Bai Chen relaxed his brows. He smiled a little. “I didn’t know the name, but I’ll remember it from this day onwards.”

“It’s a true honour for us that Elder will remember our academy’s name,” Xu Xue Ning said with a calm face.

But actually, she was quite excited deep down that someone who had trained themselves to reach the Sky Soaring stage would remember the name of her Lunar Land Academy.

She clearly misunderstood that Bai Chen had trained himself to be at the level of those who could soar in the sky, with the number of people. or cultivators, who had achieved this level in China being so few that it barely exceeded two digits.

Xu Xue Ning was also a cultivator, one of a few in China. As for what a cultivator was…

The answer was only known among the few. A cultivator was someone who was experienced in combat using the power of qi, which came from within a human body.

There were seven stages of training, or realms, in total: the Nascent, the Foundation, the Formation, the Earth Solid, the Sky Soaring, the Legendary, and the Divine.

The higher a person climbed the realms of cultivation, the stronger that person became.

For example, a Nascent realm cultivator had a body many times stronger than a normal person, while a Foundation realm cultivator could use a flying sword to journey in the air.

The Sky Soaring realm allowed its cultivator to walk in the air without a flying sword.

Bai Chen only smiled in reply to Xu Xue Ning’s words without saying anything else. He could only ponder things in his mind.

‘She’s from the Lunar Land Academy. If I had to guess, without a doubt, it must be an academy for cultivators like those in martial arts movies.’

Other than this, Bai Chen could not conjure up any other idea, which was why his train of thought was heading this way.

“Elder, can I ask you something? What are you doing here? Or are you heading somewhere?” Xu Xue Ning asked.

“This elder is going home.” Bai Chen had nothing to hide from her since right now he was not in the guise of his 18-year-old self but using his 30-year-old body. Even if he and Xu Xue Ning met again in the future, she, for sure, would never be able to connect the dots that these two were the same person.

Bai Chen also chose to refer to himself as an ‘elder’ instead of ‘I’ to play along with her.

The reason for that was that he wanted to go with the flow, even though he still could not quite understand what she was calling him ‘elder’ for.

Having heard what he said, Xu Xue Ning was slightly dumbfounded. She had not expected Bai Chen to be heading home.

“So, you’re going home.”

“What about you? Where are you heading off to?” Bai Chen shot back all of a sudden. It was part of the mission he had to complete. He was not trying to flirt with her or anything, although she was really beautiful.

“I’m learning how to use the flying sword. I have just broken through to the Formation realm not long ago,” she answered truthfully.

Bai Chen went quiet. From what she said, he could deduce that the Formation realm she was referring to was a cultivation realm for cultivators—like something he had seen quite often in martial arts movies or novels.

“I see.”

“Elder, I haven’t learned your name yet. Could you tell me your divine name for my own knowledge?” Xu Xue Ning asked. She had just realised he had not told her what he went by yet.

That was why she asked as part of her greeting.

“Bai… Chen Bai,” Bai Chen opened his mouth to reply. But before he finished, he twisted his words halfway through.

He suddenly thought that there was no need to tell her his real name. He was not even close to Xu Xue Ning.

After the mission ended, it might be possible that he would never run into her ever again.
