But below the abilities, another section caught his attention. Evolutionary Path.
Qin Wei clicked on it.
A horizontal progression bar appeared, each stage marked clearly.
Stage 1 – Active
Stage 2
Stage 3
Wanhuanjing Xielun Yan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye)
Qin Wei squinted. "Eh? That's it?"
That was the end of the path.
There was no mention of the legendary Samsara Eye of the shinobi world.
"Where's the final evolution? Where's the Samsara Eye?"
His question was only met with silence.
"Dammit. If there is no Samsara Eye, what's the use of choosing ocular powers… wouldn't picking physique a better…"
Then it hit him.
*Smack*
He smacked his forehead with his palm. "Ah, of course. I'm an idiot."
He sighed deeply. "Right. To awaken the Samsara Eye, I would need that shodaime chakra merged with Xielun Yan…"
He slumped against the bedpost. "Even if I do unlock the Kaleidoscope stage through trauma or loss or whatever, I would still go blind without a second pair. I would need another person with a Copy Wheel Eye just to fix that. And there is no person in this world with this eye apart from me."
He groaned again, rubbing his temple. "What a rookie mistake… after writing so many fanfictions, I forgot about the basic thing…"
A beat passed.
He exhaled slowly and looked up at the system screen again. "Still… I've been given a chance to live. A new world, chakra, ocular powers, and dual elements… and a lot of fanfictions left to unlock. No reason to waste it sulking."
His eyes narrowed with purpose. "Let's make the most of it."
He shook off the unnecessary thoughts and swiped back to the main Character Interface.
Qin Wei
Rank:1
Age: 19
Race: Han
Bloodline: Xielun Yan
Titles: None
Elements: Fire, Lightning
Inventory: None
Skills:
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique — Spits a massive flaming orb with explosive force. Range: 5 meters
Lightning Style: Ground Current — Sends an electric shock through the ground to stun multiple targets. Temporary paralysis for 2-4 seconds, depending on the opponent's strength. Range: 3 meters.
Qin Wei groaned in dissatisfaction, "Skills are good, but the range is quite less. I hope I can raise its range when I rank up in the future."
"Now then," he muttered, rubbing his hands together. "Time to see the rest…"
He swiped across the hovering system interface, flipping through tabs until he landed on the glowing icon labeled:
[TALENT TREE – Tap to Expand]
He tapped it.
A surge of chakra shimmered briefly across his vision, and three vertical trees bloomed in front of him, each stylized with glowing orbs and branching patterns like a spirit diagram.
[Elemental Path – Lingfa Dao] [Bloodline Path – Xuemai Dao] [Combat Technique Path – Wuji Dao]
He tapped the Elemental Path first.
Two side branches pulsed to life.
[Fire Branch] [Lightning Branch]
Below them, five glowing orbs hovered in a vertical row beneath each.
He tapped on the first fire orb.
Fire Branch – Orb 1
Fire-style technique damage +10%. Cost: 1 Talent Point
Orb 2: +20% damage (3 TP)
Orb 3: +50% damage (10 TP)
Orb 4: +150% damage (25 TP)
Orb 5: +600% damage (100 TP)
Qin Wei whistled. "Damn. That's a serious power curve. With 600% damage boost, even a normal fireball would kill enemies way powerful than me."
Then he noticed a third branch, greyed out and chained with iron glyphs.
[Fusion Path – Locked]
He squinted. "Fusion path, huh? Probably for mixing fire and lightning… Or maybe, the damage increase of the combo attacks?"
His fingers twitched in excitement. "Definitely need to unlock that someday."
He slid over to the second path:
Bloodline Path – (Xuemai Dao)
There's only one branch under it, though
[Copy Wheel Eye – Xielun Yan]
Orb 1: Duration +10%, Chakra consumption: –10% (1 TP)
Orb 2: Duration +20%, Chakra consumption: –20% (3 TP)
Orb 3: Duration +50%, Chakra consumption: –40% (10 TP)
Orb 4: Duration +150%, Chakra consumption: –80% (25 TP)
Orb 5: Duration +600%, Chakra consumption: –99% (100 TP)
"Not gonna lie…" Qin Wei muttered, leaning closer, "This is broken." But then he shook his head, "No, I can't be complacent. The grandmasters over here could destroy mountains with ease. And above the grandmasters, there are those four semi-deities. Who knows what they could do…"
He swiped to the third and final tree.
This one was quite different from the other two trees.
Combat Technique Path – (Wuji Dao)
Orb 1: Movement Speed +100% (1 TP)
Orb 2: Damage taken –30% (3 TP)
Orb 3: Skill chakra cost –50% (10 TP)
Orb 4: Recovery rate +100% (25 TP)
Orb 5: Ten Seconds of Invincibility at Near-Death (100 TP)
Qin Wei stared at the final orb. "Ten seconds of invincibility… when I'm about to die."
He blinked. "That will be useful to give me one opportunity to run away. But we still don't know its cooldown timer. So, let's leave it at that, too. After all…"
Then he glanced toward the bottom of the screen, where a small box pulsed with faint light.
Talent Points Available: 0
"I don't have any talent points to even start with. I need to look at missions to earn them."
Qin Wei then closed the Talent Tree, and his eyes dropped to the next one.
[LIBRARY]
The icon resembled a book. As he tapped, it materialized into a 3D holographic book with hundreds of pages.
He grabbed the book and flipped the pages.
Each page detailed a skill with name, description, chakra type, required element, and most importantly...
Price.
He flipped the first few pages. They were free.
Two low-level techniques, printed in glowing blue ink:
[Clone Technique – Fenshen Shu]
Element: None
Grade: E
Description: Creates non-corporeal visual duplicates of the user. No combat value.
Cost: Free
[Chakra String Technique – Chakela Sixian]
Element: None
Grade: D

"Only two freebies, huh?" he muttered.
*Ding!
[Fenshen Shu has been added to the skill list]
[Chakela Sixian has been added to the skill list]
He flipped again after purchasing the free ones.
The next pages glowed dull red. A price appeared at the top of each
[Substitution Technique – Tishen Shu]
Grade: D
Cost: 300 Credits
[Body Flicker Technique – Shunshen Shu]
Element: None
Grade: C

[Black Flame Spear — Heiyan Qiang]
Element: Fire

Qin Wei's eyes bulged when he flipped a few dozen more pages, and the ink turned black and gold.
[Eternal Dream Illusion – Wuxian Yuedu]
Element: None
Bloodline: Lunhui Xielun Yan
Grade: SSS
Cost: 864,000,000 Credits
Description: The pinnacle of illusion arts. Traps every being who perceives light into an eternal dream realm. Cannot be resisted by any being below Deity Rank without special protection. Require a full moon to cast the spell.
"Eight hundred… and sixty-four million credits?"
Qin Wei coughed out loud.
"I could sell the entire palace and not have enough. But then again, this also means the system would give a way to evolve my Xielun Yan. That means not overthinking turned out to be good, after all."
But then he stared longer at the description as he knew how much he only had. 1000 credits would only be barely enough to buy a C-rank technique.
"Okay, that's enough about the Library. There are too many skills in here, and I don't have the time and patience to go through each one. And I need to use 1000 credits wisely…"
He closed the book with a mental flick.
The floating archive faded into mist as he backed out of the Library tab.
He swiped down again. Another glowing icon appeared, shaped like a pair of crossed blades.
[GEAR SYSTEM]
He tapped.
This time, holographic walls shifted into rows of weapon racks and armor mannequins, all lined up neatly like a digital armory. Names, stats, effects, all arranged in clean panels floating before him.
He scrolled through categories:
[Weapons] [Projectile Tools] [Cloaks] [Arm Guards] [Sandals] [Battle Armor]
Unlike the library, there are no free weapons; the cheapest dagger costs him 100 credits, and the most expensive one costs him as much as 400 million credits. "Ugh… exploring this only makes me feel poor," he muttered dryly.
He waved his hand and dismissed the Gear window with a flick of frustration.
Qin Wei, cross-legged on the bed, exhaled a long breath.
"All right," he muttered, "Only the last two tabs remained to explore."
His fingers flicked across the air, the glowing menu rippling beneath his touch.
[Summoning Contracts]
He tapped it.
Nothing.
The screen refused to open. Instead, a cold prompt blinked in red at the center:
[LOCKED. Requires Rank 3 to unlock the Summoning Contracts feature.]
Qin Wei groaned, flopping back on the bed like a plank of wood.
"Of course, there will be a requirement."
He rolled onto his side and swiped again.
One final icon remained.
[Missions]
The tab unfolded like an unfurling scroll, golden ink writing itself across the air. There weren't many missions, just three, floating one beneath another.
[Mission 1: Activate Xielun Yan in Battle for 5 Minutes] Reward: 1 Talent Point (TP)
[Mission 2: Improve Public Reputation to Positive Status] Reward: 500 Credits
[Mission 3: Marry Your Fiancée or Break the Engagement] Marriage Reward: 100 Credits. Break Engagement: Reward: 1 TP
Qin Wei rubbed his chin, expression darkening slightly, especially when his eyes fell on the third mission.
