Awakening the worst talent? My clone can simulate it!

Outside of Andu, in Little Green Mountain Village.

This is a village surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, fields and forests, resembling a secluded paradise filled with natural scenery.

It's hard to imagine that within the highly economically developed international metropolis of Andu, there would exist a village that retains its original appearance.

Back on Earth in my previous life, even if this village was dozens of kilometers away from the core city, it would probably have been transformed into a village of tall buildings, or at least enclosed by real estate developers and turned into a tourist attraction with entrance fees.

But in this world called Blue Star, everything becomes quite normal.

Because this world has been plunged into an unprecedented era of great division since hundreds of years ago!

First, an unknown disaster destroyed humanity's former technological civilization, and then a group called Martial Artists sprang up like mushrooms after rain on this planet, and quickly dominated the human civilization after the disaster reconstruction.

What's outrageous is that these Martial Artist forces can't subdue each other, and over time, these Martial Artist forces established Martial Dao Kingdoms of varying sizes centered on the cities they occupied, and in the following hundreds of years, they attacked each other.

To this day, there are more than a hundred Martial Dao Kingdoms in the mere less than ten million square kilometers of land in the Central Earth Continent!

"I, Zhou Yi~!"

Looking at the little dragon man projection in front of him, who claimed to be a system assistant and could probably only be seen by himself, with an expression of disbelief.

Zhou Yi pointed to his plain but actually very attractive and simple face, and said in disbelief: "A Chinese from Earth, a descendant of Yan and Huang! With a historical edification of up to five thousand years, versed in the Legalist, Military, Yin-Yang, and versed in agriculture, Mohism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism! A scholar of great learning and talent, you actually turned me into a savage?!"

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! Moreover, what you insult is not only my personality, but also my honor as a descendant of Yan and Huang! I tell you, the consequences are serious!"

"Although the current situation is indeed somewhat unexpected, it seems that you, a scumbag who only scored ninety-seven points in the college entrance examination, can't be called a scholar of great learning and talent."

The little dragon man weakly raised his hand.

"That's because the college entrance examination doesn't test the Hundred Schools of Thought!" Zhou Yi said angrily: "I don't even have time to learn the treasures of Chinese civilization, how can I have time to study geography, chemistry, math, and English! Being able to score ninety-seven points is already considered me giving the contemporary poisonous education some face."

"You didn't even pass Chinese and history!" The little dragon man ruthlessly exposed Zhou Yi's outwardly strong but inwardly weak nature.

"That's my silent protest against contemporary education!"

"...I roughly understand how the system chose you, this thick-skinned appearance is indeed in tune with the rules of this system."

The little dragon man revealed an expression of extreme admiration.

Then, the tone of voice changed, and he spread his hands and said: "However, transmigrating to Little Green Mountain Village is already a foregone conclusion, even if you protest again, there is no way to change it."

"Can't change it? Then let's talk about compensation." Zhou Yi immediately revealed his true colors.

"You guy, this is your real purpose, right!" The little dragon man shouted.

"Where is it, isn't it the consistent code of conduct in your system world to give the host a certain degree of compensation when there is a mistake?" Zhou Yi didn't change his expression and smiled.

"...How do you look like you understand our system better than I do."

The little dragon man was speechless.

But under Zhou Yi's squinting eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the truth, the little dragon man finally nodded: "It is indeed possible to provide you with a certain amount of compensation, but before the compensation, I have to first introduce you to the functions of this system, and the rules that need to be followed when using this system, only after you are sure to become the host of this system, can this system provide you with services."

"Rules?" Zhou Yi asked, hearing a novel word.

"Yes, you can also understand it as some measures taken by the system to prevent the host from taking advantage of loopholes to seek benefits." The little dragon man patiently explained: "Of course, you can also choose to refuse, in this case, this system will enter a dormant state, until you, as the host, die of natural causes, this system will be reactivated, and then look for the next host in this world.."

"What are the specific rules?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Please wait a moment." The little dragon man said.

Then, he saw it forcefully swipe down with one hand, and the next moment, a blue light curtain filled with white characters lit up in front of Zhou Yi.

"What is written on this is all the abilities and rules of this system, don't look at me, I'm just a system elf, my role is just to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the rules of the system, after I complete the novice guidance for you, I will disappear from this world."

Speaking of which.

The little dragon man paused, and hurriedly added before Zhou Yi opened his mouth again: "So you should give up the idea of letting me help you cheat, my authority is much smaller than you think."

"Really?" Zhou Yi showed a suspicious look.

"More real than real gold! I swear!" The little dragon man raised his hand and made a look of vowing.

"Liars often reiterate their lies to increase the credibility of the lies." Zhou Yi squinted at the little dragon man with a smile.

When the latter was about to sweat profusely, Zhou Yi suddenly chuckled: "But you underestimate me too much, the person I look down on the most in my life is the person who cheats."

After speaking.

Zhou Yi didn't care whether the little dragon man believed it or not, and directly turned his gaze to the blue light curtain that lit up in front of him.

I saw the blue light curtain, about 1.5 meters square.

The following characters were written.

Preaching System.

Introduction: At the beginning of Hongmeng, Dao Ancestor created the Xuanmen, taught all living beings to gather merit and fit the way of heaven! After the prehistoric era, the saints created various religions, and established saints with the merit of teaching all spirits.

Therefore, the merit of the world is not covered by the merit of teaching, this preaching system also takes spreading teaching as the core purpose, gathers the merit of teaching, and assists the host to ascend to immortality forever.

Rule 1: Recruiting disciples and imparting skills and wonderful methods can obtain apprentice rewards.

The deeper the blessing, disposition, and aptitude of the disciples recruited, the more generous the rewards obtained.

Every time a disciple breaks through a realm, the host is additionally rewarded with merit points.

Rule 2: The initial level of this preaching system is 1, and the level 1 preaching system only allows the host to have three disciple places at most.

After that, every time the level of the preaching system is increased by 1, an additional disciple place is opened.

When the disciple places are exhausted, disciples cannot continue to be recruited.

Only after the disciple's cultivation progress reaches 100% or death, can the occupied disciple places continue to be used.

Rule 3: The stronger the potential of the disciple, the more difficult it is to improve the cultivation progress.

When the disciple's cultivation progress reaches 100%, the host will be additionally rewarded with a graduation reward.

Rule 4: The host can use merit points to forge merit treasures!

Merit treasures will activate corresponding special abilities according to the purpose of the props themselves.

The host can choose one of them to solidify or strengthen.

Rule 5: A teacher is also a father.

As a teacher, one must not harm one's disciples under the premise that the disciples have not violated the door rules recognized by the system, especially not to harm the disciples in order to clear the disciple places and cheat the rewards for recruiting disciples, otherwise all merit and rewards will be deducted, and this system will cancel the binding with the host.

Rule 6: The trigger condition of the door rules must be that the disciples knowingly violate the door rules, and they must not harm the disciples to violate the door rules by concealing the door rules from the disciples.

Rule 7: The door rules formulated by the host must be strictly enforced!

Corresponding punishments must also be given in place within the limited time to show the strictness of the door rules.

Otherwise, a large amount of merit will be deducted from the host, and the host's disciple places will be permanently closed.

Seven rules!

After reading the restrictions of the seven rules, Zhou Yi immediately understood what the 'measures formulated to prevent the host from using system loopholes' in the little dragon man's mouth meant!

Because if there were no restrictions on these rules, once encountering a crazy host, the system could really be bankrupted!

For example, according to the introduction of Rule 1 and Rule 2, if there were no restrictions on Rule 5 and Rule 6, in case of encountering a cold-blooded host, in order to clear the disciple places and obtain system rewards more quickly, the disciples would really be killed like pigs.

In this way, it would undoubtedly run counter to the original intention of the preaching system.

In order to avoid this dark thing from happening, it is obviously reasonable to make patches in advance and block loopholes.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and anger is still to be angry.

After all, I am the host being guarded against.

If I am not angry, wouldn't I become the kind of bad person that the system guards against?

"Aren't you? Who would have thought of this level so quickly? But you saw through the meaning of the existence of the rules in an instant, which can only show that you have this terrible idea!" The little dragon man shouted excitedly.

"How is that possible, I just think that we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, it is really unnecessary to guard against each other like this." Zhou Yi was expressionless.

"Stop quibbling! Your dark psychology!"

"Okay, okay, I have read all the abilities and rules, and I think I am fully qualified for the duties of the host of the preaching system." Directly ignoring the little dragon man's words.

Zhou Yi imperceptibly changed the subject: "You know, I have always had a little experience in teaching and educating people.

But before I start teaching and educating people, I still want to ask, does our system have the saying of a freebie newbie gift pack?"

"Is your face made of iron?!" The little dragon person expressed that they really couldn't hold it in anymore.

It was the first time they had ever seen such a shameless host!

But newbie rewards were indeed something that actually existed.

The essence of the Preaching System was, after all, to educate people. Since it was about educating people, then there should at least be corresponding 'teaching materials' for Zhou Yi, the teacher, to use!

So, despite the little dragon person's dissatisfaction with Zhou Yi's shamelessness, driven by their duties as a system assistant, they still handed over the newbie rewards to Zhou Yi.

The system rewards transformed into four streams of light. Except for the first stream of yellow light, the remaining three streams of light all entered Zhou Yi's brow.

At the instant the streams of light entered Zhou Yi's brow, the figure of a cold-faced man immediately appeared in Zhou Yi's mind.

He first shouted loudly with a full voice, 'Cloud Dispelling Palm!', then suddenly thrust out both palms. As his palms danced, countless palm prints formed from white clouds flew and surged in Zhou Yi's mind, carrying an overwhelming momentum, transforming into countless martial arts mysteries, deeply imprinted within Zhou Yi's mind.

[Ding! You have comprehended the Martial Arts Manual: Cloud Dispelling Palm!]

Before Zhou Yi could recover from the mysteries of the Cloud Dispelling Palm.

The second figure arrived in quick succession, transforming into an old monk in Zhou Yi's mind, his entire body radiating golden light, his vitality like mercury. As he walked with dragon-like steps and tiger-like strides, he muttered, 'Muscle Tendon Change Classic'.

In the next moment, the old monk's entire body instantly became transparent like glass, the upper and lower meridians exposed in Zhou Yi's mind like golden threads. Then, he suddenly sank into the depths of Zhou Yi's sea of consciousness, transforming into an extremely magical energy, quickly spreading throughout Zhou Yi's body.

[Ding! You have comprehended the Martial Arts Cultivation Method: Muscle Tendon Change Classic!]

Then came the third figure!

Compared to the cold-faced man of the first figure, and the mysterious old monk of the second figure.

The third figure only revealed a vague and unclear phantom in Zhou Yi's mind. Then, this phantom only slightly raised its head. In the next moment, a scorching red light suddenly broke through Zhou Yi's sea of consciousness, rushing into Zhou Yi's eyes!

As this red light flowed in, Zhou Yi's eyes instantly burst forth with an unbearable burning sensation, forcing Zhou Yi to close his eyes tightly, and his tear glands uncontrollably began to flow with warm liquid.

Fortunately, this burning sensation came suddenly and left very quickly.

In just a few breaths, the burning sensation in Zhou Yi's eyes turned into coolness. When Zhou Yi opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that his body was covered in blood, but in contrast, the whole world seemed to have a filter applied! Becoming vividly colored and extremely clear.

Even more outrageous was that when he focused his eyesight, he could even clearly see bacteria and microorganisms floating dozens of meters away!

You must know that the volume of bacteria is mostly only about 0.3 microns!

And the human eye, in theory, can only see objects larger than 200 microns at most. Even then, it requires concentrated observation at an extremely close distance, and only a few people with excellent vision can see clearly.

What does it mean for the naked eye to see bacteria?

"It means that after merging with the Clairvoyance, my eyesight, in just those few seconds, has increased by at least six hundred times!"

"This kind of ability that instantly transforms a person is indeed worthy of being called a system. It's really unreasonable."

Wiping the blood stains on his face.

Zhou Yi's face was calm, but his heart had already been shaken by a magnitude ten earthquake!

Don't think that he can calmly deal with such an outrageous thing as transmigration, and even have the mood to argue with the little dragon person who serves as the system assistant.

In fact, Zhou Yi's heart is extremely insecure.

It's not worrying about whether the system chose him because of some ulterior motive, that kind of groundless fear.

Zhou Yi is very clear that if the existence that created something like the system wants to do something to him, he has no room for resistance at all.

Compared to dwelling on system conspiracy theories, Zhou Yi is more worried about whether the system can give him the power to survive in this world!

Zhou Yi is a very perceptive person. He believes that if there's no way to resist something, it's better to learn to enjoy it.

If it could give him a one-hit kill cheat, an invincible holy body, or something like that, Zhou Yi would say that even if the system clearly told him that it wanted to fatten him up and kill him like a pig, Zhou Yi would personally hand over the pig-slaying knife and shout, 'A scholar dies for his confidant!'

From the results, although the performance of the Preaching System did not reach the point where Zhou Yi would risk his life for it, it was not lower than Zhou Yi's expectations.

Although the rewards of the Preaching System are limited to Zhou Yi reaching the minimum threshold for using this technique, if he wants to master it and exert its true power, Zhou Yi still needs to slowly cultivate and gather inner strength himself.

But for things like cultivation methods and moves, the most difficult part is getting started.

The Cloud Dispelling Palm is easier to say, as it is relatively simple to get started with. A martial arts genius can basically master a few tricks after practicing for a year or two.

But high-level cultivation methods like the Muscle Tendon Change Classic are different.

In Jin Yong's world, the Muscle Tendon Change Classic is an obscure secret technique that even top experts may not be able to comprehend after spending decades, and was once treated as an ordinary scripture and left to gather dust in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion.

Without being a chosen one or a peerless genius, ordinary people would not be able to master even the basics of the Muscle Tendon Change Classic even if they studied it for a lifetime.

If it weren't for the system's direct comprehension, with Zhou Yi's comprehension, there would be no possibility of learning the Muscle Tendon Change Classic in this lifetime.

"I just don't know what level the Muscle Tendon Change Classic will be at compared to the martial artists of this world after it is mastered."

Zhou Yi hasn't forgotten that the world he is in now is a world where martial arts are extremely developed.

According to the system assistant, the martial artists of this world are even so powerful that they can rely on their own strength to split the land and become kings, establishing martial arts kingdoms.

From this, it can be foreseen that the martial power level of this world is extraordinary, and even with the system, it is impossible for him to be invincible from the start.

"Sure enough, I still need to stay steady and not be reckless."

Thinking this in his heart.

Zhou Yi suppressed the urge to display the Cloud Dispelling Palm and Muscle Tendon Change Classic, and instead looked at the miniature wooden house, only the size of a seal, that appeared in his hand along with the system rewards.

The name of the wooden house is Mind Enlightenment Chamber, which is the only item reward among the newbie rewards.

At the moment of obtaining it, Zhou Yi already knew that this was one of the characteristics of Merit Treasures, which could reduce its size and weight according to Zhou Yi's will, making it convenient for Zhou Yi to carry or move it.

Don't underestimate its current size, which is less than the size of a palm in Zhou Yi's hand.

However, once placed on the ground, this miniature wooden house will immediately expand into a beautiful wooden house covering an area of dozens of square meters, which is enough to accommodate ten people to comprehend the Dao together.

Of course, being able to change size at will is a common function of all Merit Treasures. The real ability of the Mind Enlightenment Chamber is that it can provide a 20% increase in comprehension to cultivators practicing inside the Mind Enlightenment Chamber.

Don't underestimate this mere 20% increase. Taking the IQ value that is often used to measure human intelligence in modern times as an example, the IQ value of normal people is about 90 to 110, and only about 5% of people can reach 120 or more.

That is to say, with the 20% increase of the Mind Enlightenment Chamber, ordinary people can also become geniuses with an IQ of 120 or more, and those who are already geniuses can take it to the next level, becoming top geniuses that are one in a hundred or even one in a thousand, the effect is equivalent to a +1 to aptitude.

This is just the effect of a Tier 1 Mind Enlightenment Chamber!

According to the system's rules, Merit Treasures can also be upgraded by continuing to inject merit. As the level increases, the effect of the Merit Treasure will also increase.

Not in a hurry to put the Mind Enlightenment Chamber down.

Zhou Yi looked at the little dragon person floating in front of him, and under the latter's confused and clear gaze, he reminded, "Isn't there something you forgot?"

"Forgot?" The little dragon person touched their head and wondered, "No, the newbie rewards are these."

"I'm not talking about the newbie rewards."

"Ah?"

"Compensation! Compensation for turning me into a savage." Zhou Yi pointed to his ears, "You're not going to deny it, are you? I heard you say just now that you would compensate me."

"...." The little dragon person.
