The Card Cultivation System
CCS-1 (Arc 1: Fate, Poem, and the Slaughter)
Crucosyta village, night.
"Arggghhhhh"
"Hahaha, what a beautiful scream"
A slash!
A head rolled down.
It was as if someone wearing black clothes was smiling. He killed that poor guy. With this, the task is done and his friend.
"DNAKKKKKK"
It turns out that not all the villagers died, there is still a child aged around 5-6 years.
There were piles of bodies around the boy. The bodies were those of villagers who tried to protect the child, but failed.
"GO ON!! GO YOU!!!! GOIII!!!"
A little boy wearing a red shirt and looking a few years older than the boy smiled at the words.
The boy in red said, "Hey Sha, take care of the boy."
"Good young master."
The assassin called Hei Sha bowed respectfully to the anat as he approached the child slowly.
"alright. Let's see if he can still scream after seeing- "
The killer picked up a corpse and cut off his head.
"-this"
Bruk!!
The boy fell to see the sight. The corpse whose head had just been cut was one of the villagers who was quite close to him.
Seeing the person who previously could still laugh with him now his head lying near his feet was a frightening sight.
"Haha"
"Haha"
Seeing the child fall invites laughter of other killers. While the red-clothed child just smiled cynically.
It turns out that the killer was not alone, he was in a group with his friends, a total of 6 people including the child in red.
One of the assassins wearing blue clothes came forward and held the cheek of the boy.
"Heh, where was your scream, huh?"
THE PLAQUE!
The blue guy slapped the kid.
"Where's your shout?'
THE PLAQUE!
"Hey I asked.
Where-"
THE PLAQUE!
"-Your scream!'
THE PLAQUE!
"So?"
THE PLAQUE!!
The boy just knelt silently. He did not flinch at the slap he received. His eyes are empty.
One of the villagers who was close enough to him had just been killed. Worse still was that man's head lying not far from him.
One of the assassins in red came forward and asked his friends.
"Young master, what should we do about this child?"
"Whatever" replied the red-clothed child unconcerned.
Hearing the child's words, the assassins discussed.
"What if we play?"
One of the assassins suggested.
"Each of us will attack him. Whoever kills the boy will win"
A person wearing green clothes came forward and said.
" Good idea, I agree"
Same with the yellow shirt.
" I am too"
The assassins were also casually making the vile thing look as if it were ordinary, even fun. While the red-clothed child just kept silent no matter.
" All right let's start, I'm first"
Soon the black-clothed man picked up a stone and threw it at the boy.
Whushhhhhhhh
A stone landed on the child's forehead. Soon, the child loses consciousness.
" Hey hey, how's this, just 1 throw, time's passed out?"
" You threw it too hard"
" Make it, let's just hang him"
The group of 5 assassins immediately approached the boy.
As the red one pulled his shirt, a hand floated towards his face.
MAAM!
The red staggered backwards.
"Damn, this kid hasn't fainted yet apparently. He's on purpose"
The boy looked left and right, looking for hope. And he found it.
He saw a child whose age was not much different from him, wearing expensive red clothes with the symbol of a dragon and a fighting bird.
He immediately approached the red-clothed child hoping to get help.
However, it was not help that he got, but rather a shocking speech like lightning in broad daylight.
"Keep her away from me" said the red-clothed child with a look of disdain.
Hearing their young master's words, the assassins immediately surrounded him.
The child who seemed to lose hope shouted and hit the killer closest to him.
"AHHHHHHHHH"
The boy shouted as loudly as possible, not accepting his fate, confused, sad and hurt, seeing his only hope destroyed.
The punch landed on the face of the green-clothed assassin.
MAAM!
"AHHHHHHHH"
Again, the boy kept screaming.
The blue-clothed killer came forward and kicked the child's chin.
THE DUAKK!
The boy was thrown backwards.
"Your fathers. Time can get a weak attack like that"
Even though the boy exerted all his strength, it was not enough to beat up the assassins. It was seen that the two people he had beaten were now walking closer as if they had not been hit by anything.
Hei Sha walked forward while raising his hand up.
"That seems less"
Swushhhhh!
Clouds began to gather in the sky.
"Black Thunder"
Along with the man's hand being clenched, a bolt of lightning came down and struck the boy.
JGIEGER!!
Bruk!
It looks like the kid is really fainting right now. His whole body was black, several times the boy moved convulsions.
Along with the loss of consciousness, the boy recalled the last thing he saw, the slaughter, the emblem of the dragon and the fighting bird, and the deathly cold gaze as if he was unworthy of life.
The assassin wearing green clothes raised the child's collar.
He turned his head and said to the black-clothed killer.
"You cheated. You attacked him twice"
But Hei Sha just kept quiet no matter.
Seeing the interlocutor did not care, the green-clothed killer also did not continue the conversation.
Now he looks at the child.
"Cyclone Rage"
The green palm was now surrounded by the wind that formed the tip of the spear.
THE DUAKK!
A punch landed right in the child's stomach.
The punch left the child's stomach torn apart.
The green man took the boy to a nearby tree, then hung him.
"Meteor"
A meteor appeared near the feet of the man in red.
"shoot"
He kicked the meteor.
DUADS
WHUSSHHS
The meteor sped away until it finally stopped on the boy's chest.
A DUAKKKK!!
Now it was not only his stomach that was destroyed, his chest was severely injured.
Seeing the attack that was close enough to him made the green protest.
"Damn you almost hit me!"
The red one just whistled, not caring.
"My turn"
The yellow man is now doing a strange pose.
"Needle from Hell"
He threw a needle over the child's belly button.
CRUST!
The red shirt protested.
"Hey, you hit him right at his dantian. It's cheating"
The yellow shirt just smiled and said
"Who quickly did he get it"
The blue shirt goes forward.
"alright. Let me finish"
"Whirlpool Spear"
A spear from the water whose tip was continuously spinning appeared in the hands of the man in blue clothes.
He threw his spear in the same direction as the previous yellow-clothed man's attack.
DAR!!!
Sounds like something broke.
CRACK...
"You were intentional?"
CRACK...
"I'm sure he must have been on purpose"
BLARR!!!
There was a huge explosion outside the group's estimate.
The explosion blew the five of them far enough away.
Seeing the explosion, the red-clad boy left with the killers.
The man in green clothes saw where the child was before.
"The kid must be very talented. Such a huge explosion must have come from a huge dantian. Too bad"
"Are you sure he's dead?"
"With such a big explosion?"
The man in blue asked.
They stared at each other until they finally left the village which is now destroyed.
------------------
A few days later....
A middle-aged man was walking towards the village of Crucosyta.
He wanted to meet his best friend who lived in the village.
How surprised he was when he found the scenery in the form of a place that was destroyed.
The place where his best friend's village lives should be.
" What the hell is this? Who destroyed the village of Crucosyta?"
Suddenly the man's face turned sad mixed with anger.
He traced the place that had been destroyed. I hope to find someone alive.
Hopefully there are still some people who survive.
Suddenly he saw a hand from under the tree. A fairly small hand, maybe the owner is just a 5-6 year old.
The middle-aged man did not expect that the owner of the hand was still alive. Even a village was destroyed let alone a child aged 5-6 years?
But he still approached the tree to see the condition of the child (who he considered dead).
How surprised he saw the child's body was still intact - although it was filled with wounds, but no body parts were missing - especially when looking at the face of the child.
"X-Xi ka, Xika, there's no mistaking her Xing Xika, my best friend Xing Taiyang's son, what happened to you Xika? Yeah-don't-don't..."
The man reached out his hand and was about to touch xika's chest but suddenly xika's eyes opened
"...."
"Xi-Xika! Xika, are you okay? It's me Fa Diala's uncle, you remember me right?"
Xika seemed not to hear the words of her uncle, she only remained silent for a moment, and finally fainted again.
Fa Diala immediately brought Xika back to his clan - after checking around.
------------------
Fa Diala recalled the moment he saved Xing Xika. Ten years have passed, the boy is grown now, next month he will be officially 15 years old.
Xika grew into a child who had a fairly mature mind than a child her age, it was because Xika was unable to cultivate.
Yes, the incident ten years ago successfully scooped up Xika's chance to cultivate. No one knows what really happened. As she was about to absorb the qi, Xika felt a great pain.
The doctor said that the cause of the pain he felt was due to his dantian cracking. When he continued to absorb qi, it was likely that his dantian would explode and disintegrate.
Knowing this made Xika and Fa Diala very sad. Since that day, Xika stopped trying to absorb qi. Even so, he remained unchanged, still carrying out his daily activities as usual. Keep laughing as if there was nothing.
But his other friends are not. They ridiculed Xika for not being able to cultivate. Some even hit him. But silence and surrender to circumstances is not the nature of Xika.
Although they were stronger and more numerous, Xika never retreated.
"Even if I die, I will kill as many of my enemies as possible" was the principle of life that Xika held.
Even if he was hurt by being beaten by other children, he did not remain silent. At least half of them were injured as well.
Unable to cultivate, Xika is ostracized by almost all of her peers, leaving Xika with no friends.
Time to read a book in the library. It makes Xika have knowledge that is beyond her age.
But unfortunately, due to his self being unable to cultivate, he was not allowed to climb upstairs, he was only allowed to enter the first floor - even with many cynical and condescending gazes. Even so, Xika still often read in the library.
His love for books slowly attracted the hearts of the library guards. Now at least one person is staring at him cynically. Other than her uncle, it was the library guard who was acting normally towards Xika.
In addition to the library, Xika's most visited place is the back mountain of her clan, Diamond Shake. Diamond Shake was the Shaking Card Clan's mountain of power, the mountain was quite dangerous, even a 7th stage forming cultivator could be killed if not careful.
Diamond Shake is divided into 3 parts, outer area, core area, forbidden area. Only the supreme elders of the clan can enter the forbidden area.
Of course Xika could only enter the outer area, how could he possibly survive without cultivating in the middle of a nest of ferocious beasts like this?
This afternoon, Xika was walking on the mountain behind her clan, looking for spiritual plants, which might be able to help her uncle cultivate, or at least be able to add some pocket money.
Yes, ever since her uncle took care of her, there was a lot of rejection from his own clan, which made Xika sad. Therefore he tried to help his uncle by raising money, although a little, might be able to help.
"Hm?"
"What's that?"
While walking, Xika found something strange.
There's Ice Bear's corpse.
"Why is there an Ice Bear corpse here? Wasn't Ice Bear a White-3 level Spirit Beast on par with a 7th stage qi gathering cultivator? Ice Bear should only be in the core area"
While searching for the cause, Xika felt a terrifying aura behind her.
"Hm?"
When she looked up, Xika found something surprising.
An...
"3 Horn Winged Snake!!!!!!"
Xika immediately ran as fast as possible. He ran like a madman, no matter where he went, all he thought about was running from a White-4 level 3 Horn Winged Snake that was equivalent to a qi gathering stage 9 cultivator.
"Have the ice bear died"
Xika looked back, and found that the snake was already quite close to her.
Xika accelerated her run.
Aduakkkkk!!!
Damn, he tripped over a tree root, and fell down.
When she was about to turn her head, Xika heard the sound of a snake that she believed to be the sound of a snake chasing her earlier as if tormented.
When he looked, he found nothing.
There ain't!
the 3 Winged Snake Horns chasing after him were nonexistent!
Xika checked the surroundings.
Hm? Where'sme?
While running from the pursuit of the 3 Winged Snake, Xika forgot which way she was running. Unknowingly, he was already in the core area.
Xika felt a strange thing, even though he was in the core area, he did not find a single animal here, the 3 Horn Winged Snake that was chasing him did not look as if it just disappeared.
"Mmmm, indeed snakes taste the most delicious, even though it is only White-4 stage, but it is quite good"
Suddenly, Xika heard a voice.
"Who is that?!"
Silent. There's no answer.
"It seems like just my feeling" Xika said as she stroked her chest.
"Man huh? I haven't seen a human in a long time. What are you doing here, man?"
Sounded again! That voice was not just his feeling. The sound is real!
Xika hesitated to answer the voice considering that she spoke as if she had seen a human for a long time, it seemed that she was not a human. Moreover, the possibility of this creature that made the 3 Winged Snake who chased him tortured.
"Greetings, senior. I'm just lost, I don't mean to bother senior, I'll leave immediately. Excuse me"
Xika did not dare to be disrespectful, nor did she dare to linger in this place, but just as she was about to leave...
"Wait!"
The deg!
Xika immediately bowed her body and put her hands together.
"Senior! Please forgive me if junior does anything wrong, I don't mean to disturb senior, really! Please let me go."
"What if you can't leave?"
"I don't understand what senior means. See you around"
Xika threw something onto the ground and suddenly a fog appeared.
He immediately ran as fast as he could. Stay as far away from the unknown creature as possible.
BRUK!
Xika hit something.
"What's this?"
He stretched out his hand to fumble. His hand touched something. More precisely a wall.
"Heh, this place is filled with my aura, thus making not a single spiritual animal dare to get close, if you get out of this place, you won't last an hour, you won't, many spiritual beasts out there are ready to prey on you, especially you are not a cultivator, no, rather you cannot cultivate, you are just a cripple."
Xika's eyes turned sinister. Not being able to cultivate was his weak point. Although he himself seemed to not care, but he was actually very envious of his peers. And that voice casually insulted her making Xika angry.
"I can cultivate or not it's none of your business!"
Xika's tone of voice changed, as did her language, she no longer cared about modesty.
The voice chuckled for a while, then stopped as if realizing something.
"Hm? Wait up...... That's.... That way.... Then...... True too..... Yep! Could-can be!"
The voice suddenly spoke to itself. Sounds like a way to do something.
Xika who witnessed this - even if it could not be said to witness because this was just a silent voice - only with furrowed eyebrows and a heart that wondered.
After some time, the voice finally recalled Xika's whereabouts.
"Listen son, I don't have a body right now. Even my soul is so weak that I have to suck the energy of other creatures.
Never suck their energy, even to think of sucking their energy I wouldn't want to"
"?"
Xika's eyebrows are shrinking. Confused because the voice suddenly told me. But he did not dare to disturb, so just shut up.
"I am a very rare mixed spiritual animal, many are after my life, even my mother's clan is after me. I finally escaped. Both my parents were arrested to protect me"
"What are you talking about?"
"...... "
The voice was silent for a moment.
He continued.
"I see something in you, something that will take me back to my past glory, even more"
Xika furrowed her brows.
"Maybe the 'something' you saw existed, but now it's gone. My dantian cracked, if I absorb qi, my dantian will explode and crumble, how could I possibly restore your former glory.
"Your waiting might explode. But not ruined"
