Healing SystemChapter 187: Drunk With Blades“Gu Wan?” Kael called out, his voice steady but carrying that sharp edge of impatience that only came when someone was wasting his time on purpose.He walked up to the man sprawled across the bed like a corpse that had decided dying was too much effort, then grabbed his shoulder and shook him hard enough that the frame creaked.At first, nothing happened.Gu Wan’s body did not even wobble properly, and Kael immediately realized why. The sword apprentice was unconsciously circulating his Qi, forming a thin stabilizing layer beneath his skin, like invisible ropes anchoring him to the mattress. It was crude but effective, a lazy defense mechanism built from habit and arrogance.Kael clicked his tongue.So even when he sleeps, he is still being difficult.He pushed his own mana outward with brute intent, not carefully, not gently, but like a hammer smashing through rotte

Chapter 189: Silent PursuitThe journey should have been peaceful, or at the very least predictable, but Kael quickly realized that peace in this world was the kind of lie reality told you right before it stabbed you in the ribs. For most of the trip, the scenery barely changed, the same endless forest stretching forward like it had no intention of ever ending, and aside from the occasional wild boar foolish enough to charge at them, nothing truly noteworthy had happened.At first, Kael even found himself thinking that this travel mission might actually be boring, which was a dangerous thought, because boredom in his life had a habit of summoning disaster like a prayer answered by something malicious.Yet even as the road remained uneventful, something still felt wrong.Not loud wrong, not obvious wrong, but the kind of wrong that crawled under the skin and made the back of his neck itch with warning.They were being followed.It

C191: The Killing MenuEyes of The Great Sage [Superior] [Passive]Kael stared at the newly acquired skill hovering in his vision, and for a moment he forgot he was even walking, because the description alone felt like the kind of ridiculous overpowered nonsense that only the System could casually hand him, as if granting reality breaking perception was the same thing as giving someone a slightly better pair of boots.See through the very fabric of the world, increasing the INT stat by 50% during active usage.Kael squinted, reading it twice, then a third time, because the wording annoyed him more than it should have.“Active usage?” he muttered internally, the thought forming with suspicion. “So it is like Eyes of the Healer, right? It sits there acting passive until I decide to force it to do something useful?”Yes, the System answered immediately, sounding far too satisfied with itself. However, these will mostly remain enable

Healing SystemC193: Silver Proof"Master Mujin!" Hu Rong shouted as he sprinted toward Kael, nearly tripping over his own feet in his desperate hurry, before stopping right in front of him and cupping his hands together like his life depended on performing the gesture correctly.His eyes were wide, his breathing uneven, and the expression on his face was the kind of frantic worry that made it seem like Kael had vanished into the underworld for three years instead of disappearing for a few minutes."Where did you go?" Hu Rong demanded, his voice filled with both confusion and panic. "One moment you were walking with us, and the next you disappeared like smoke. I thought something happened to you."Kael rolled his eyes, though a faint smile still tugged at his lips, because watching Hu Rong act like an overprotective mother hen was both irritating and strangely entertaining."I sensed a group ahead," Kael replied casually, as if h

C195 — Sect SearchingThe moment Kael stepped into the crowded streets, he could feel the weight of countless eyes pressing down on him, an invisible tide of scrutiny that seemed to ripple through the city itself. It was almost laughable how quickly word traveled, how the mere rumor of his presence—an outsider, a golden-robed figure whose aura alone demanded attention—had transformed an ordinary afternoon into a gauntlet of suspicion and silent evaluation. The System's voice, calm but tinged with amusement, noted the phenomenon. Everyone's staring as if you are some glaring anomaly, some sore thumb standing proud among mundane onlookers. Kael only spared a fleeting glance around, his expression one of deliberate indifference, though beneath that casual veneer, his mind was already calculating, predicting the angles and intentions of those who dared glance too long.The streets, which a mere handful of minutes ago had been bustling with the usual cacophony of mercha
