Chapter 10: What do I have
In a far away place, Yamcha had pulled out everything from his Inventory as he looked at each of the things Garlic Jr had, as he looked at each of them.
Yamcha looked at each then, as he picked up a red flower. "Oh what is this".
[ This host is a pure long flower, once consumed it can have the user go 3 level up there Cultivation ]
Yamcha just grinning spoke. "Sweet"
[ If not Confused properly it can result is the user exploding ]
Yamcha just blinked. "Not so sweet".
Yamcha carefully set the red flower aside, shaking his head. "Alright, let's not go exploding just yet," he muttered. He continued digging through his inventory, organizing each item as he went.
Next, he picked up a small, ancient scroll wrapped in silver binding. "What's this thing?" he wondered aloud.
[ This is the Scroll of Boundless Qi. It contains advanced techniques for harnessing and storing Qi efficiently. By studying it, you could improve the efficiency of your cultivation techniques by up to 20%. However, it requires at least a 3rd Stage Demon Cultivator to comprehend. ]
Yamcha scratched his head. "Guess I'll save that for later." He set the scroll aside and grabbed another item—a small bottle filled with dark green liquid.
[ Demon Essence Elixir. Consuming this will temporarily boost the user's strength and agility by 50%, but it can be used only once every 24 hours. Be cautious, as it may cause a backlash if overused. ]
"Noted." Yamcha grinned. "Good thing I have the system to help me keep track of all these side effects."
Moving through the inventory, he noticed a small, black amulet engraved with strange demonic symbols.
[ Amulet of Concealment. When worn, this amulet can cloak the user's aura, making it harder for enemies to sense your presence. Useful if you want to go unnoticed by powerful foes. ]
Yamcha chuckled. "Perfect for sneaking around or when I want to keep a low profile. This should come in handy."
As he examined each item, he marveled at the range of artifacts and resources he had gathered. While some were risky to use, others held the potential to skyrocket his power in just the right circumstances. He couldn't help but feel a thrill at the possibilities.
"Alright, system," he said with a satisfied grin. "Let's organize all these items by risk level and potency. We'll save the best for when we really need it."
[ Understood, host. Inventory organized as per your preference. ]
Yamcha took a deep breath. With the new tools at his disposal, he felt more ready than ever for the challenges that lay ahead.
Yamcha then finally looked at final items in the list. "This, is this a Green jade flower".
Yamcha stared at the delicate green jade flower in his hand, inspecting it closely. The petals shimmered with an otherworldly glow, almost as if it were pulsing with life.
[ Green Jade Flower. This rare flower is said to contain an immense amount of spiritual energy. Once consumed, it can permanently increase the user's cultivation base by one full stage. However, due to its potency, it may cause the user to experience intense spiritual upheaval during consumption. Only those who are at least at the 4th stage of cultivation can handle it without significant risk. ]
Yamcha raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. "Permanently increase my cultivation by a full stage, huh?" He frowned. "But I need to be at least at the 4th stage to even think about using it... and there's a risk of backlash. Sounds like I might be pushing my luck if I take it now."
He held the flower in his hand for a moment longer, feeling the energy emanating from it. The temptation to use it was strong, but the potential danger wasn't lost on him. He was still in the early stages of his cultivation journey, and it would be a mistake to risk everything just for a quick boost.
Yamcha sighed, placing the flower back in his inventory. "Alright, I'll hold off on this for now. Better safe than sorry." He gave a nod to himself, feeling a sense of responsibility to take his time and progress carefully.
[ Understood, host. Green Jade Flower securely stored in inventory. ]
As Yamcha closed his inventory, he leaned back and looked up at the sky, contemplating his next steps. With all the items at his disposal, he knew that he could face any challenge ahead. But he also knew that the real test lay in honing his abilities and cultivating his strength, not relying solely on items and shortcuts.
"Alright," he muttered, clenching his fist. "Time to get stronger—no shortcuts. I'll do it the right way."
With renewed determination, Yamcha stood up and began preparing himself for the next phase of his cultivation journey. There was no turning back now, and he was ready to face whatever came next.
Yamcha took a deep breath, focusing his thoughts as he prepared to continue his training. With the demon invasion behind him and the remnants of Garlic Jr's forces scattered, it was time to take advantage of the peace and focus on his cultivation.
He glanced around, feeling the energy in the air. It was different now—he could sense the subtle fluctuations of spiritual power that he hadn't been able to before. The system had already given him a rough idea of what was ahead, but the path to true strength was something that would take time and effort.
Yamcha walked over to a quiet spot away from the others, away from the chaos of the world. The lush green trees and clear sky provided the perfect environment for training. His mind was focused and his heart determined. He knew that the next stage of his cultivation wouldn't come easily. He had to refine his techniques and push his limits.
[ Cultivation Progression: Current Stage: 2nd Stage of Demon Cultivation. Next Stage: 3rd Stage. ]
The system chimed in, reminding him of his current progress. He still had a long way to go, but there was a sense of excitement in his chest. He had unlocked so much potential, and now it was up to him to cultivate it properly.
He closed his eyes, entering a meditative state. Yamcha had always been good at focusing during his martial arts training, but now, with the cultivation system at his disposal, it felt different. The energy in the air was palpable, almost tangible. It was as if the world itself was alive with spiritual energy.
"Alright, let's see how far I can push this," Yamcha thought, taking slow, deliberate breaths. As he concentrated, he could feel the flow of energy within him, like a river waiting to burst forth. He focused on gathering that energy, drawing it in from the environment and into his body, where it began to circulate through his core.
The energy seemed to respond to his focus, growing stronger with each passing moment. It was a delicate balance—if he overexerted himself, he could risk damaging his cultivation, but if he let the energy go to waste, it would stagnate.
[ Cultivation Progress: Energy Accumulated: 15%. ]
Yamcha could feel the system's feedback as his cultivation energy began to build. The process was slow at first, but it was undeniably steady. He grinned, feeling the rush of excitement. "This is going to take time," he muttered to himself. "But it's worth it."
Hours passed as Yamcha stayed in his meditative state, focusing on channeling the energy within his body. He could feel his muscles relaxing, his mind clearing. There was no rushing the process, and each minute that passed was another step forward.
Eventually, he felt the familiar sensation of his cultivation energy reaching a tipping point. He opened his eyes, knowing that he was close. The system chimed again.
[ Cultivation Progress: Energy Reached 100%. Stage Upgrading in Process... ]
A surge of power coursed through him, and Yamcha felt his body tense, as if it were being pushed to its limits. His muscles burned, his mind sharpened, and for a brief moment, he felt as if his very soul was being refined.
Then, with a sudden jolt, the pressure stopped, and Yamcha felt an unfamiliar sense of calm. He slowly stood up, a faint smile spreading across his face as the system confirmed the upgrade.
[ Cultivation Progress: Host has reached 3rd Stage of Demon Cultivation. ]
Yamcha took a deep breath, feeling the newfound power coursing through him. The increase was subtle, but it was there—his body felt more flexible, his reflexes quicker, and his senses sharper. He could feel the difference immediately, and he knew this was just the beginning.
"Not bad," Yamcha muttered, flexing his hands. "Now I need to test it out."
He glanced around, spotting a tree in the distance. It was large, with thick branches and a sturdy trunk. Perfect for a bit of practice.
Yamcha focused, gathering energy into his legs, and then with a burst of speed, he dashed toward the tree. In a blur, he leaped up, delivering a powerful kick that shattered the trunk in one clean strike. The tree split in two, falling to the ground with a loud crash.
Yamcha landed lightly on his feet, a grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, this feels good."
He looked up at the sky, knowing that this was just one of the many steps he needed to take. With each day, each moment of cultivation, he would grow stronger. And one day, he'd be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest warriors in the universe.
But for now, Yamcha was content to continue his training, knowing that every step he took brought him closer to his goal.
"Alright, time to keep going," Yamcha said to himself, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Let's see just how far I can go."
Yamcha then asked a question to the system. "How long unthle the Raditz arrives, I need that Information".
The system responded almost instantly, its voice neutral but informative.
[ System Notification: Raditz's arrival is expected in approximately 3 months based on current timeframes. This estimate is based on historical data from your previous timeline. However, certain variables may alter this time, such as changes in energy levels or external influences. ]
Yamcha nodded, processing the information. He had a good idea of what that meant. Three months wasn't long, but with the training and power-ups he had at his disposal now, he felt confident he could prepare himself in time.
"Alright," Yamcha muttered to himself. "Three months to get stronger and be ready for Raditz. That's plenty of time."
He turned his focus back to his cultivation. If he was going to face Raditz and the coming challenges, he'd need to push himself even harder. The knowledge that he had a limited time to prepare only strengthened his resolve.
"System," Yamcha spoke again, looking up. "Are there any additional techniques I can unlock at this cultivation stage? I need more power for what's coming."
[ System Notification: At the 3rd Stage of Demon Cultivation, you have unlocked the following abilities:
1. Demon Step: Allows for rapid movement, almost instantaneous teleports within a limited range. Consumes energy proportional to distance.
2. Cultivation Pulse: A defensive technique that allows the user to unleash a burst of energy, pushing back enemies in a radius around the user.
3. Demon Fist: A powerful attack technique that channels cultivation energy into the user's fists, enhancing their punches to cause massive damage.
4. Energy Sense: The ability to sense and track energy signatures, allowing the user to locate enemies, allies, or items based on their energy levels.
Would you like to learn more about these techniques or receive guidance on how to improve them further? ]
Yamcha's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the list. These abilities were exactly what he needed—speed, offense, and a way to sense enemies before they could sneak up on him. He had always been a strong fighter, but the Cultivation System was offering him the tools to become much more dangerous.
"Demon Step sounds like a great one to start with," Yamcha said with a grin, excitement starting to fill him. "Let's give it a try."
[ System Notification: Demon Step unlocked. To use, focus on the target location and channel energy into your legs. With enough practice, range and speed can be enhanced. ]
Yamcha stood still for a moment, visualizing the area around him. He focused on the patch of ground a few meters away, intending to move there quickly. He concentrated on his legs, drawing the cultivation energy into his muscles, and with a swift thought, he pushed off the ground.
In a flash, he disappeared from his spot, and before he could even fully register the movement, he reappeared several meters away, landing effortlessly on the ground.
Yamcha let out a surprised laugh. "That was amazing! It's like teleporting with no energy cost!"
He stood up straight, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "Okay, I need to practice controlling this. I can't just use it recklessly."
With that, he began moving around, experimenting with Demon Step, focusing on his control and range. Each time he used it, his confidence grew. He could feel the technique becoming easier to use, and the more he practiced, the faster and farther he could move.
As he finished practicing, Yamcha felt a sense of accomplishment. "Alright, one technique down, many more to go."
He took a moment to refocus. The next three months would be vital in preparing for Raditz's arrival, and with the Cultivation System, Yamcha was ready to take on the challenge.
"Time to get stronger," he muttered, as he continued his training, preparing for whatever was to come.
