(Hello everyone! I know that I promised two chapters every day, but this is the only chapter for today. Am so sorry đ! Your humble Author, LittleOlderBrother.)
With the black substances washed away, John felt refreshed and revitalized. The warm water had soothed his skin, and he could sense the vitality coursing through his veins. As he stepped out of the bathroom, the cool air enveloped him, and he took a deep breath, feeling invigorated. Eagerness sparked within him; he was ready to discover what lay ahead.
John's gaze fell upon his bed, and his enthusiasm waned slightly. The sheets were stained with the remnants of the dark substances that had coated his skin during the rebuilding process. He sighed, knowing he needed to change them. With a hint of reluctance, John removed the stained sheets and replaced them with crisp, clean ones. The fresh linen felt pleasant against his skin as he sat down on the bed.
As he settled in, John focused on the changes in his body. A surge of excitement coursed through him, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "I feel so alive!" His voice echoed through the room, almost a scream. The realization hit him: he was now a mid-level 2-star martial warrior. The sudden breakthrough was exhilarating; he had never thought he'd reach this level in his lifetime.
John's expression turned solemn as he contemplated the implications. The thing that had rebuilt his body and improved his talent had propelled him forward in ways he never thought possible. A shiver ran down his spine as he recalled the intense pain he had endured during the process. Despite the fear lingering within him, John's determination grew. He was ready to explore the system that had changed his life forever.
John took a deep breath, his voice barely above a whisper. "Ms. System, are you there?" The silence was broken by a soft chime. [Ding! "The host doesn't need to address the system with a title," the emotionless voice echoed in his mind. "The system is genderless."]Â
John nodded, though he knew the system couldn't see him. "Okay," he said softly. His curiosity got the better of him, and he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind since he woke up. "System, who is this 'Unknown Being' you mentioned earlier? And why did they give me the Celestial Teacher System?"
[The "Unknown Being" gifted you the system due to your passion and dedication to teaching, as well as your students' unwavering faith in you despite your weakness.] The system's emotionless voice echoed in John's mind. [As for the Unknown Being's identity, the current host doesn't need to know. Focus on becoming stronger, and maybe the system will reveal more in due time.]
John nodded, though a hint of curiosity lingered. He noted the system's use of "maybe," implying that failure to meet expectations might mean he'd never learn the Unknown Being's identity.
"Can you at least tell me the goal of the Celestial Teacher System and what's expected of me?" John asked, his voice laced with determination.
[The main goal is to groom and help the host become a Celestial Teacher,] the system responded, its voice devoid of emotion.
John nodded, but his mind was filled with questions. What exactly was a Celestial Teacher? Before he could ask, the system's otherworldly voice chimed in again. [Ding! The system will now explain the concept of a Celestial Teacher and their goals.]
John's eyes widened slightly, surprised that the system seemed to anticipate his question. As the system began its explanation, John's fascination grew.
[A Celestial Teacher is a revered guide who embodies the fusion of divine wisdom, advanced knowledge, and spiritual insight. They possess a profound understanding of the cosmos and the human experience, allowing them to navigate the complexities of the universe and the human condition. As a mentor, educator, and spiritual guide, the Celestial Teacher's role is multifaceted. They impart knowledge that transcends mundane understanding, sharing insights that awaken individuals to their true potential.]
The system paused, allowing John to absorb the information. After a moment of silence, it continued.
[The Celestial Teacher's ultimate goal is to facilitate spiritual enlightenment, empowering individuals to transcend limitations and achieve harmony within themselves and with the universe. By balancing the energies of body, mind, and spirit, they help others find peace, purpose, and fulfillment. As a bridge between the divine and human realms, the Celestial Teacher embodies wisdom, compassion, and selflessness. Their presence inspires transformation, and their guidance illuminates the path to self-discovery and spiritual growth.]
John's mind reeled as he processed the system's words. The weight of his new role as a Celestial Teacher settled upon him, and he felt a mix of excitement and trepidation.Â
[Ding! The system will now tell the host about the abilities the system would grant the host, that will help you in your journey to become a Celestial Teacher!] The system's emotionless voice echoed in John's mind, jolting him back to reality.
John's eyes widened with anticipation as he clenched his fists, his mind racing with possibilities. What kind of powers and abilities would the system grant him? Would they be enough to help him overcome the challenges ahead?
The system's voice continued, [As a Celestial Teacher, the host will possess the following unique set of abilities.]
[- *Dual Energy Manipulation*: The ability to manipulate both Chi and Spiritual energies, allowing for enhanced physical abilities and mystical tasks.Â
- *Energy Sensing*: The capacity to sense and analyze energies within oneself and others, detecting imbalances and blockages.Â
- *Flaw Detection*: The ability to detect flaws in martial arts techniques, allowing for precise analysis and improvement.Â
- *Multidisciplinary Knowledge*: Comprehensive knowledge across various fields, including martial arts, medicinal pill creation, rune drawing, weapon forging, and more.Â
- *Holistic Healing*: The ability to heal physical wounds and balance spiritual energy to address emotional and mental issues.Â
- *Spiritual Guidance*: The capacity to offer guidance on spiritual growth, self-discovery, and enlightenment.Â
- *Insight Ascension*: The ability to experience ascension in understanding, increasing strength, energy manipulation, and unlocking new techniques and abilities, as the host's comprehension of martial techniques, medicinal pill creation, rune drawing, and weapon forging deepens.]Â
"As the system's words faded away, John's mind reeled with the possibilities. He felt a surge of excitement and anticipation, knowing that his journey as a Celestial Teacher was about to begin.
The system's voice echoed once more, "Your training will commence shortly. Prepare yourself, Celestial Teacher."
Suddenly, the world around John began to distort and blur. He felt himself being pulled apart and reassembled, his senses overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope of colors and energies.
When the distortion dissipated, John found himself standing in a vast, ethereal realm. The air was filled with a soft, pulsating glow, and the sky seemed to stretch on forever.
A spectral voice whispered in his ear, "Welcome, Celestial Teacher. Your trial begins now."
("Author's Note: In this world, Chi energy fuels martial prowess, while Spiritual energy empowers medicinal pill creation and rune crafting. Typically, individuals can only wield one type of energy, but as a Celestial Teacher, John is an exception. He'll soon face a trial to unlock his true potential and become a full-fledged Celestial Teacher.
Though John will possess theoretical knowledge in various fields, his role as a teacher will focus on guiding others. His journey ahead will be filled with challenges, and the outcome of the trial is far from certain. Will he succeed in mastering his abilities and embracing his destiny, or will the trial prove too great a hurdle? The path ahead is shrouded in uncertainty, but one thing is clear: John's fate will soon be decided.")Â
