Chapter 7
The undergarment, as the name implied, was an old-style fabric worn by ladies in the ancient times and was used to cover their chest area . It was also called a tube top .
As he heard the aunt explaining, he became momentarily shocked .
Everybody thought that it was strange of him and under their judgeful and disgusted expressions, he kept his pride and walked straight .
He used the patched-up blanket as a cape, enhancing his gusto and bravery by draping it over his shoulders like a big general .
After a difficult walk to the entrance, he went back to the area of Xiao Rou’s house . Xu Que’s face turned red as he stared down at himself . His mind was wandering to Xiao Rou’s beautiful appearance and petite figure .
Damn it! No, no, no . I can’t continue thinking of that . You sit back down now and stop standing .
Xu Que scolded himself in his mind and pressed down his "little brother" which was about to have a raging erection .
He quickly walked to a small pond in the distance, placed his clothes on the shore and splashed into the water .
He was washing the medicinal ointment off his body and at the same time, he was concentrating his thoughts back on the system .
He concentrated and opened the system . His personal stats were being shown to him again .
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Foundation Building Stage 1 (Small Progress)
Experience Points: 200/2000
Acting Tough Points: 25 Points
Skill path: , Beginner’s Level
Job class: None
Position: Consort Prince of the East Wilderness, Fire Country
"I only have 25 acting tough points . When can I achieve the intermediate level for my skill?" Xu Que sighed anxiously in his mind . At the same time, he opened the system store and viewed the cultivation techniques category .
He was stunned at what followed .
Previously, he didn’t notice the exchange goods in the system store that much since he thought that they were too expensive and couldn’t afford them yet .
But now, he realized that it wasn’t that the Skill path ’ intermediate manual was expensive, but was because of the high skill level requirement it needs . The high price was thus justifiable .
The system store categorized the skill paths into various classes, ranking from highest to lowest classes .
The Yellow-rank skills required 1-5 acting tough points .
The Black-rank skills required 5-10 acting tough points .
The Earth class skills required 10-20 acting tough points .
But for the Sky-rank skills, the required acting tough points were more than 20 points . All the way to as high as 200 points .
For the current Skill path he was training, the , for the pages at Sky-rank, were of very premium value . The beginner to intermediate pages of this skill each require 100 acting tough points but when he reach the advanced writings, it costed a whole 200 acting tough points .
On top of that, there were other ranks besides the Sky, Earth, Black, and Yellow-rank skills but they were locked up and the names cannot be seen .
Xu Que tried to check those but instead received a system message, "Host’s privilege level not sufficient . Skills are not available to you yet . "
"Interesting!"
He didn’t lose hope . Instead, he felt more excited and looked forward to seeing what this "Ultimate Acting Tough, Face-Slapping system" can do, knowing that there were even higher ranked skills than the Sky-rank .
He reopened the Yellow-rank skills and something came to his mind .
Although I am currently training this skill , I am still lacking battle magic skills which will benefit me in combat . I have to find a suitable skill to train .
"Lone-Nine Swords? Fuck! This kind of skills are only Yellow-rank?" Xu Que became increasingly astonished as he was browsing the skill books .
But then he came into realization that this Lone-Nine Sword skill was a battle skill from the
World of Heroes but he was right here in the World of Immortals! The skill was no match for the immortals in this world .
He skipped the Yellow-rank skills and opened the Black-rank skills .
What caught his eye was a skill book and was going for very cheap . It costed only 5 acting tough points, and its description stated that this skill required the use of internal forces but when combined with fire-element spiritual Qi, its potential can be fully utilized and its power was unmatched .
Xu Que’s eyelids jumped and became tempted . However, he suppressed his impulsiveness and continued browsing other skills for now .
"Dark-Ice Sword Art? Uh, nah… Name doesn’t feel aggressive enough . "
"Flame Magic?"
"Triple-Flamed Blade Art?"
"Wood-Element Skill? Golden-Quake Fist?"
"Damn it! All the names aren’t aggressive enough! How can I act tough with those lame skill names?"
After a duration of continued browsing, Xu Que continued to shake his head in disapproval .
Although all the skills costed as much as , he couldn’t care less about the extent of its combat prowess . He determined since the start that the name was the most important factor . The tougher the name of the skill, the better it was for acting tough .
As he continued browsing, Xu Que was still unable to find a satisfactory skill name . He might as well check the Earth class skills out .
", the hell!"
Xu Que almost jumped out of the pool he was in .
My God! This system also sold skills from previously famous novels and each one costed only 10 acting tough points .
"Good . This is way too good!"
Xu Que was never this excited . He continued to browse the class and each name he saw excited him even further .
Most of the skills from the Earth class were from the main characters in novels . Damn, and even some skills of villains could be bought .

Book by book, Xu Que was dazzled and he opened his mouth at the sheer intensity of the descriptions .
There were so many kinds of skills from novels . Acting tough points must be gained . Any skills here would intimidate the opponent .
However, to Xu Que, choosing one or two of these skills amongst this lot was a chore .
Finally, he overcame his struggles and ultimately decided on a skill book . One which was a high-level tier from the Earth class . Its name was !
Why didn’t he choose Flame-Devouring Wave or Six Corporeal Forms? Simple reason: not enough acting tough points!
After buying the skill, one must still buy the greatsword required . If not, the skill cannot be used in its entirety .
Previously, he saw these greatswords being sold in the premium bundle at the system store and the cheapest one went for 50 acting tough points . How could he afford it?
Lightning energy magic is even worse due to having the need to wait for Sky Lightning to descend to be able to train that skill . This was straight away rejected by Xu Que .
As a result, he had no choice but to buy the skill as a defense skill . He thought that he will be able to get the other skill books sooner or later .
Of course, this Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations wasn’t just a casual pick . This skill was recognized by the system to be a high-level Earth class skill, costing at 20 acting tough points, explaining its possible potential to become powerful .
The dragon soars over the four seas, erupting in nine main transformations .
First form, energy is released . Obliterates the weak .
Second form, uses twice the amount of explosive energy . Obliterates the weak .
Third form, uses thrice the amount of explosive energy . Obliterates the weak .
Fourth form, uses four times the amount of explosive energy…
…
Ninth form, uses nine times the explosive energy, calls out the rain and the winds and summons the Nine Dragons . Destruction will be otherworldly .
Xu Que was clear that the nature of such power was unimaginable and a force to be reckoned with in any universe .
Hence, Xu Que chose this skill book as it is the best option for self-protection and repelling enemies, especially now that he wasn’t fully trained up yet .
"Ding! Do you want to exchange for ?"
"Yes!" Xu Que responded .
"Swoosh!"
At the same time, a ray of golden light flashed past his eyes as he felt a chill down his spine .
When he reopened his eyes, he could feel the knowledge of a new skill . He felt reborn but it didn’t felt strange to him at all .
Opening up his character page, there were some changes:
Host : Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Foundation Building Stage Level 1 (Small progress)
Experience Points: 200/2000
Acting Tough Points: 5 points
Cultivation Technique:
, Beginner Level

Contently nodding, Xu Que rubbed his chin and felt that this 20 acting tough points was worth it .
For the 5 acting tough points left, he decided to not touch it for the time being . In the event he became injured again, he could use those points to add into his regeneration rate .
Once these were done, Xu Que proceeded to open his system package again, his heart was filled with anticipation
That Big Growth Gift bag . What exactly is in it?
