Seven Deadly Sins System

"Whoosh!"

The silver sword in Chu Wuyao's right hand pierced through the air, making a sharp whooshing sound and causing the yellow dry leaves around her to rustle.

Chu Wuyao moved her hand continuously, swinging the sword towards the air in front of her, while her breathing became strange, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, following a strange rhythm.

Her actions were slow yet graceful, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, her serene expression and the shining moon in the sky, it seemed as if she was performing an elegant dance.

Time slowly went by and from the sweat that was running off her forehead and the look of exhaustion on her face, it was clear that these strange movements were starting to take a toll on Chu Wuyao's mortal body.

Chu Wuyao could feel every single muscle on her body aching, while she felt as if thousands of ants were crawling and biting on her skin.

Such pain would have caused an ordinary person to immediately stop their actions and take a rest, but with Chu Wuyao's mental strength and with her strong resolve, she was able to bear it.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, her right hand, which was holding the sword, became quicker, causing the sword to produce a loud sonic boom that spread in the area around her.

However, Chu Wuyao didn't have the time to care about this.

The moment this change happened, she felt an unknown energy flowing everywhere in her body, destroying her body and re-arranging it, increasing her physical strength and relieving her exhaustion in the process.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao felt that the strength of her physical body had more than doubled, while there were also some more foundational changes that had taken place.

"Did I become a Warrior Apprentice so easily?", Chu Wuyao muttered in a low voice and closed her eyes, "looking" inside her own body.

She was very familiar with this process, as cultivators had the ability to "see" inside their body from the very first realm, the Qi Accumulation Realm.

Originally, as a cultivator at the Shackles Realm, Chu Wuyao's body should have been filled with Mana, a high-level energy that had many strange and peculiar functions.

But now, she could see that her body was completely empty, devoid of any Mana, just like the body of an ordinary mortal would be.

No, to be more accurate, it was not completely empty.

Chu Wuyao could see a very small red energy that was the size of a finger moving inside her body, slowly increasing her strength in the process.

"Fighting Spirit.", Chu Wuyao thought and staring at this red energy that she had never seen before, she subconsciously compared it with what she was familiar with.

"Unlike Qi and Mana which are calm and somewhat mellow, the Fighting Spirit seems to be way more unruly and destructive.", she immediately judged.

Whether it is Qi or Mana, they are basically spiritual energy that has been purified through the use of a cultivation technique.

This was also why there is a need for a suitable cultivation technique in order for people to start cultivating and to breakthrough to higher realms.

Otherwise, everyone would just absorb spiritual energy and increase their strength.

"But Fighting Spirit is completely different.", Chu Wuyao thought.

Different from cultivators, Warriors don't need to absorb the energy of the surrounding world, as the Fighting Spirit comes from within their body.

Through the use of Warrior techniques, Warriors can "squeeze out" the potential of their body to produce Fighting Spirit, which in turn will strengthen themselves.

"From a certain point of view, the Warriors in this world are quite similar to Shackles Realm cultivators."

"Essentially, they are both digging into the potential of the human body.", Chu Wuyao thought and with a thought of her mind, she controlled this small amount of Fighting Spirit in her body to rush towards the silver sword in her hand.

As it rushed through it, a thin red film appeared on the sword's surface, increasing its sharpness and durability, while its temperature slightly increased.

Feeling this, Chu Wuyao raised her head to look at a small tree that was right in front of her and waved her hand, swinging the sword towards its trunk.

"Swoosh! Boom!"

The red-coated sword passed right through the trunk, cutting the tree in two pieces and causing its top part to fall to the ground, making dust fly everywhere.

However, as a result of this, the thin red film around the sword went out, as if it had ran out of energy.

"Sure enough, apart from the increase in physical strength, the biggest advantage of Warriors is actually the destructive power of their Fighting Spirit.", Chu Wuyao thought as she looked at the smooth cut left behind on tree's trunk that was somewhat scorched.

She could see that the sword cut through the wood easily, like a hot knife cutting through butter.

While she was estimating the destructive power of Warriors, she also brought up the system panel, wanting to take a look at her changes.

[Rank: Warrior Apprentice(0/1000)]

[Technique: Phoenix Warrior Technique]

[Phoenix Warrior Technique: A fire-based Warrior Technique created by imitating the mythical immortal bird Phoenix. Practicing this technique will add certain fire properties to your attacks.]

Indeed, a new column had appeared, showing her Warrior rank and the technique she had picked up from the Earl's Library.

Just like Chu Wuyao was expecting, she could indeed use her Sin Points to improve her strength, even in this world's power system.

However, she didn't do so immediately.

She knew that the noise she previously made should have alerted some people in the mansion and they were very likely to come and investigate.

If she could, Chu Wuyao wanted to hide the fact that she had started training for the time being.

This was also why she chose to practice in this remote place in the middle of a the night.

With this in mind, Chu Wuyao no longer hesitated.

After she made sure that there was no incriminating evidence left behind, she hurriedly left this place.

****

Back in her room, Chu Wuyao placed the silver sword she had been using aside and lay on the bed, before waving her hand casually.

The next moment, a small crack appeared right in front of her and from inside the crack, a small black creature flew out.

"Master! I've missed you so much!", Cthulhu cried and pounced on her, only to receive a harsh knock on the head.

Glancing at the human-like aggrieved expression on Cthulhu's face, Chu Wuyao didn't feel guilty at all to have bullied this stupid cat.

"Take it out.", she ordered and although Cthulhu looked ready to cry, it still opened its mouth and spit out a black ring.

Seeing the cat's saliva on the ring, a look of disgust flashed across Chu Wuyao's face and she had to take out a handkerchief in order to pick it up.

"Fortunately, I was well-prepared.", she said as she looked at the black ring in her hand.

If any cultivator was here, they would immediately recognize that this black ring was actually a very common item in the Cultivation World, a space ring.

Previously, because Chu Wuyao knew that they would be accompanied by Supernatural Realm cultivators during the journey and she was afraid that someone would discover her secrets, she gave her space ring to Cthulhu.

Now, it was proved that her decision was actually very smart.

Otherwise, Chu Wuyao suspected that her space ring would have been taken away when she was transported to this world.

"As expected of me.", she praised herself.

Holding the space ring with the handkerchief, one of Chu Wuyao's thoughts entered inside and immediately, she took out a red flag and a white card.

A small transparent figure appeared above the red flag, while the white card shone with a dazzling light and a beautiful blue-haired woman flew out.

The moment Li Ruoshi and Yue Zhilan appeared in the outside world, they instantly discovered that something was wrong.

In particular, Li Ruoshi's senses were extraordinary as a Spiritual Weapon, even stronger than the senses of the average Shackles Realm cultivator.

"Where is this?", she looked at Chu Wuyao and asked.

Although Chu Wuyao's appearance had changed, from the connection of the Devil's Contract between them, Li Ruoshi instantly recognized her true identity.

On the side, Cthulhu and Yue Zhilan's ears perked up, also wanting to know the answer.

When she saw the obvious curiosity in the three people's eyes, Chu Wuyao didn't hide anything and explained everything that happened, from entering the blue gate to being transported to this world.

Having signed a Devil's Contract with these three, she wasn't afraid that they would betray her.

"What? Another world? An entirely different power system?"

Soon, a loud exclamation was heard.

Whether it was Li Ruoshi or Yue Zhilan, when they heard Chu Wuyao words, they were shocked, struggling to accept that they had been transported to another world.

After all, with their realm, how could they calmly accept such a thing?

Let alone them, even stronger people would be shocked if they were to suddenly learn that they have been transported to another world.

Compared to the two women, Cthulhu didn't show any abnormal reaction.

As a Devil, an infamous extraterrestrial creature, Cthulhu was very familiar with the existence of other worlds .

To it, being transported to another world was not special at all.

While waiting for the three people to digest this information, Chu Wuyao wasn't idle, but sized the three people up.

With her strong perception, she could sense that Li Ruoshi had actually advanced, becoming a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon and increasing her power.

This wasn't unexpected, as she had given Li Ruoshi a fragment of a Divine Weapon, as well as the blood of Ren Sang, a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm.

Coupled with Li Ruoshi's special nature, it made sense for her to advance quickly.

On the other hand, Chu Wuyao hadn't been expecting the changes in Cthulhu's strength.

Although part of its strength had been sealed, she could still sense that it had actually reached the peak of the Young Devil rank, equivalent to becoming a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm.

"It's worthy of being my first pet."

Nodding her head in satisfaction, Chu Wuyao turned her head and her eyes finally landed on the last person in the room, Yue Zhilan.

Although Li Ruoshi's and Cthulhu's changes were quite sudden, Chu Wuyao had managed to retain her calm expression, but when she saw Yue Zhilan, she was filled with surprise.

"Why can she still retain all her strength? Doesn't this world suppress foreign power?", she thought secretly, wondering whether her previous guesses had been wrong and it was not that the world suppressed foreign power, but it was just she who was suppressed.

However, the fact that Cthulhu was suppressed too made her deny that notion.

In the end, she could only shake her head and accept it for the time being, planning to investigate it further later.

In fact, no matter why Yue Zhilan was able to retain her strength, it was a actually a very good thing for Chu Wuyao.

The stronger her subordinates were, the safer she would be in this dangerous world.

Now that she had lost her strength, it was the time for the underlings that she had been training to play their role!

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao couldn't help but smile slightly, imagining her bright future.

Unfortunately, Cthulhu's next words caused the smile on her face to disappear and for a cold glint to flash in her eyes.

"Master, I can feel that there are a dozen or so people standing outside the mansion. They seem to be those Warriors and Magicians that you previously mentioned."

"I can sense that they have ill intent towards you Master!"
