My Cultivation System

After seeing the progress screen in front of him, Henrick became a little excited and he felt as long as he repeated the same pattern, he could rank 1 to rank 3 ambush ghosts without any problem.

Currently, Henrick was surrounded by who knows how many ambush ghosts.

However, there was no worry on his face; instead, he was excited because of the single trait of the ambush ghosts and it was Cowardice.

"Ivy, come and keep an eye on my back."

Even though the ambush ghosts are cowards, no one ever knew what a coward could do when they were pushed too much.

So, he summoned the fire vine from his dantian.

\'Swoosh\'

Soon, the fire vine transformed into its original form which was nearly 30 meters and surrounded around Henrick as it looked at its surroundings.

\'Swoosh\'

\'Thud\'

\'Thud\'

\'Kacha\'

\'Rumble\'

However, after returning back to its original form,  for some reason, the fire vine behaved weird as it swinged its tail sweeping a 10 meters radius around Henrick.

It didn\'t stop there as it continued to slap the ground with full power making cracks on the ground.

\'Huh? What\'s wrong, Ivy?\'

When Henrick looked at how the fire vine was behaving, he was worried and asked it through the spiritual connection between them.

\'Thud\'

However, he didn\'t get any reply from it; instead, the fire vine became even more fierce making Ajax\'s worry increase even more.

\'Damn it. What the hell is happening with Ivy, System?\'

Since he didn\'t have the slightest clue regarding what was happening to the fire vine, Henrick could only ask System about it.

\'Ding,

          Master, the fire vine is unable to see in this world and because of that, it has gone crazy.

\'What?\'

Henrick was shocked when he read the system notification and before he could think about what to do, he was whipped away by the fire vine.

\'Cough\'

Henrick was blasted into a group of ambush ghosts which were dispersed by the time he reached them and the fall made him cough a mouthful of blood.

\'I should praise you for becoming soo powerful; however, attacking me is not good.\'

Henrick revealed a bitter smile on his face as he asked the system, \'System, what should I do now?\'

Currently, the fire vine is a rank 4 being that could go against the energy transformation realm.

\'Ding,

          Master has to kill it.

\'What? Are you kidding me?\'

Henrick became serious when he saw the system\'s reply.

\'Ding,

        If you don\'t kill it, it will kill its master. Please choose your decision wisely.

\'Swoosh\'

\'Damn it.\'

\'Swoosh\'

While he was reading the system notifications, the fire vine swung its tail once again. So, he stopped reading it and jumped back to escape the incoming tail.

\'Huh? System, didn\'t you say it will not see anything in this world? Then how can it kill me? Moreover, how can it aim its tails right at me?\'

Henrick didn\'t want to kill the fire vine because it was very useful to him from the very start.

It helped him while fighting the demonic cultivation in the outer sect of the blazing inferno sect and in the beast mountain where he took some sect missions.

Also, not to mention, the fire vine was always very helpful to him in the inheritance building while completing the trials.

So, recalling his moments with the fire vine, Henrick felt he could not kill it and thought he would just hide from it before it goes out of its energy.

However, what he didn\'t expect was that the fire vine was attacking him in a way that it could see him. So, Henrick was worried about it and asked the system about it.

\'Ding,

          The fire vine is slightly able to sense the master because of the bond between them. Even though it was not enough to remember the master, it was able to make the fire vine sense that there was someone.

\'Ding,

          Since the fire vine can\'t see anyone in this world, it was letting its bestial instinct protect itself.

\'Sigh\'

After listening to all the explanations by the system, Henrick could not help but heave a long sigh.

\'Swoosh\'

\'System, what if I can send it back into my dantian? Will there be any use?\'

After escaping from another swing from the fire vine\'s tail, Henrick asked the system while looking for the weak points of the fire vine.

The reason he was searching for the weak points was that he didn\'t feel that his earlier suggestion to send the fire vine back into the dantian would work.

\'Ding,

          There might be some chances by sending it back into the dantian; however, the chances of the master\'s death are even more.

\'Okay. I will skip it.\'

When he read the first line of the system notification, Henrick was surprised and felt there was some hope; however, by the time he finished it, he just shook his head.

"Since there is no other way, I will try it my way. I will make it use all its fire energy and then take you back into my dantian."

Soon, Henrick came to a decision to dodge the attacks of the fire vine and let it attack him as much as it wanted.

\'Swoosh\'

\'Swoosh\'

\'That was close but I have to do it for the sake of the fire vine.\'

\'Swoosh\'

\'Swoosh\'

For the entire time, Henrick was completely on the defensive and allowed the fire vine to attack him and sometimes, he barely missed the fire vine\'s tail.

As for the ambush ghosts, they were all watching the entire fight from a distance and whenever Henrick and the fire vine moved towards them, they would disperse and re-group in the distance.

Since the speed of the ambush ghosts was top-notch, they never got caught in the middle.

\'Looks like it is working.\'

After a few minutes, Henrick finally saw hope in what he was doing and continued to dodge the attacks until one of the ambush ghosts rushed towards him at an incredible speed.

\'Oh no.\'
