"Wow! I really reached the Martial Artist Realm. Hehe! It seems this system knows my condition more than me. But, this thing is confusing me even more. Why didn't I get EXP from killing the tiger? That EXP was from the Qi that I absorbed."

"But, if I think carefully, there is no way I could get the EXP after devouring the tiger whole. Man, I didn't expect to become gluttony."

Mike sighed as he thought about devouring the entire tiger inside the orb even though it couldn't hold it inside. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he sunk his mind inside his body.

"Martial Soul!"

Mike wanted to peek into his sea of consciousness but after that incident he was afraid. Instead of searching for it, Mike called for it. As soon as he felt the energy in front of him, he opened his eyes.

"A sword?"

Mike looked at the golden-dark sword with confusion. He didn't expect his martial soul to be a sword. But, suddenly he thought and it all made sense.

Normally, a cultivation technique calls for the dead soul or spirit. Even though it was his physique that called for the dead soul and spirit, his cultivation technique still had a lot of impact on it.

"Kiddo, are you dissatisfied with me?" Suddenly, a voice rang out of the sword.

Mike was startled when he heard this voice. It was a mixture of a child's voice and an adult. It felt like a child imitating the adult voice. Mike narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you the martial soul?""Can't you guess? I am not just a martial soul. I am your martial soul now." The sword pouted as he spoke with a little bit of overbearing and a little bit of grief. When he first decided to train Mike, he entered his sea of consciousness full of spirit.

But, just a few seconds later, it found its place. It was at the farthest part of the sea of consciousness. The middle part was occupied with Pioneer Body. Then, it was Chaos Body. After that, it was Celestial Bloodline and Desolate Bloodline.

Then, there were Lightning Law, Space Law, and Fire Law. His elements were moved to the universe so they weren't present in his sea of consciousness. The sword was full of grief. Although it was better than those laws, their boundaries were under the Pioneer Body.

The sword can't admit itself under anyone but it can't fight the power Pioneer Body as well. So, it decided to stay away from them.

"Well, it was surprising to find a martial soul speaking to me. So, are you the spirit of an ancient sword?" Mike guessed from his knowledge of those cultivation novels and asked.

"Wow! I didn't expect you to realize that. I am indeed a sword spirit of an ancient sword. It wasn't just an ordinary ancient sword either. If it is just the power of a sword, then I was the first sword in entire existence."

"I lost my original body during a massive war between my young master and the entire ten thousand realms warrior." When the sword revealed its history, its tone was full of pride and arrogance.

"Wait a freaking minute! Are you the little black?" Only when the sword revealed his history, Mike suddenly realized that tone. He had a feeling that he learned this tone before. But, that author didn't explain the sound properly. It gave him a hard time just to recognize the little black's voice.

"You know me?" Suddenly, the little black released an innocent and confused tone. He had felt the age of Mike. It wasn't even above twenty. So, he didn't understand why Mike knew him.

"Of course, I know you. There is the biography of your young master Johnny Fenton and your master Xia Long Fei. I know you are the sword that accompanied both of them during their journeys. But, you were supposed to be black. What happened?" Mike excitedly spoke as his eyes sparkled with bright lights.

His goal was to surpass three founders. That's why he wanted to know more about them.

Hearing his question, the sword tone's slightly dead down as he spoke "I was rebuilt three times in my life. Once, it was done by my master. Then, I was remolded by Master Xiao Zhen. And, finally, the young master also remolded me for the final battle."

"When he had to protect his family from the entire ten thousand realms, he remolded me to gain the extra strength for the battle. In that battle, I was broken as well. He didn't make a new body for me saying that he wants me to protect the sect in this world."

"He said he wasn't a swordsman. Although he uses the sword, he wasn't like three swords.""Wait! When did that war happen? Why isn't there any record of that war in his biography?" Mike shouted when the sword mentioned that war once again.

The sword shook and said "I don't know what biography you read but the war happened after the young master's son was taken away by Master Xiao Zhen. That war was a catastrophe for the ten thousand realms."

"That war gave birth to two opposing forces. One of them was Omega and another was Deviant. Young Master was the part of Deviant. Deviant was established to destroy the previous order established by the Omega and established a new one."

"Although both forces didn't die, Deviant won the war because of the young master. That war gave chance for many forces like evil and good to rise up. In some universes, evil won while in some universes, good won. The aftermath of the war was so bad that young master had to beg the System Race for the help."

"The system race helped the young master to create a virtual reality. That allowed the young master to merge the virtual world with the real world and create a new world. This new world was dominated by both forces of science and cultivation."

"Those worlds who have a high level of technologies can get access to the laws of the virtual world to get stronger. And, those worlds who have a low level of technologies could only rely on real cultivation."

"Wait, wait, wait! Wait a freaking minute! You mean the entire multiverse is the amalgamation of the real and virtual world. And, I can access the virtual laws with the specific technology?" Mike stared at the sword with large eyes as he asked.

"I think you should get your ears treated. I just said that. Your world or any other world without ten thousand realms is a mixture of the virtual and real world. The world you live in might be virtual or real but that doesn't matter. Because, your bond, your cultivation, your comprehension, everything will be real."

"In simple words, you are living in a world that has the real surroundings with the virtual laws. And, you can only access the virtual world with a certain technology. Without that technology, the people of system race won't simply allow anyone else to connect with the virtual laws." The sword spirit pointed its tip at his ear and spoke.

'Shit! That is too much information to take in. Only Xia Long Fei had the one last living being of the system race with him at first. Later, he gave another living being of the system race to his son. He must have used the Time World to grow the system race.'

'Man, I knew system race had the power to control technologies but this is still a whole new level. I mean creating a virtual world that seems literally no different from the real world. Doesn't this make every world a sci-fi world? Actually, it can't be fiction since I am living it.'

'But, this is still too much to take in. It seems Father-in-law knew a lot about the world.' Mike thought in his mind and suddenly asked 'Claire, are you also the part of the system race?'

Mike was told that she was a newly born universal spirit. That's why he was a little unsure whether she is really a system race or not.

"I am the part of System Race. Actually, system races are just the bunch of spirits that maintain the balance in the world. I am the universal spirit who manages the laws of the universes and have the ability to combine yin and yang to create chaos."

"But, some system race people are different from me. They can control the technologies. Some can use all kinds of universal laws. That's why I am not exactly the system you imagine but I am part of the system race. The system that you know is the core system of the system race. They are also known for their power to understand and manipulate anything they want."

"Their powers aren't limited to anything. That's why they were once hunted down and killed until the last one survived." Claire explained in his mind.

Mike's expression suddenly froze as he asked 'Wait, you knew this all along?'
