Binding System

Chapter 5 Awakening Points



Xiao Ming checked Evelyn's affection parameter again.

'Her affection parameter is fifty percent, so I can't switch to binding partner mode.'

Actually, he was pleasantly surprised when he learned that her affection parameter was already fifty percent.

Previously, he wondered why her affection parameter was already so high in the beginning, as if they had known each other for a long time.

But he instantly knew the answer after recalling what happened to them. He believed it was because he had saved her life and given her a medicine powder.

'I have to win her heart quickly.'

Determination could be seen in his eyes.

"What are you doing in this forest?" Evelyn asked curiously.

Even though she was under the Winger Tiger's seal, she could tell how strong Xiao Ming was.

​ 'He is even not at Novice rank, yet he dared to come to this forest alone.'

She did not know if he was a brave or stupid young man.

In this world, there were seven ranks.

From the lowest to highest, it was Novice, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Exalted, Transcendent, and Ruler.

Anyone would be at Novice rank if their level of strength, agility, stamina, and mana capacity were at levels 11 to 20.

For Elite rank, it was at level 21-40. Master rank was at level 41-70. For Grandmaster rank, it was at level 71-110.

Anyone would be at Exalted rank if their level of strength, agility, stamina, and mana capacity were at level 111-160.

For Transcendent rank, their level of strength, agility, stamina, and mana capacity should be at levels 161-200.

Actually, Ruler rank was not included in the power rankings because there was only one Ruler in each generation.

The Ruler was someone who surpassed level 200 and one who controlled the world.

"Well, my horse suddenly went wild and brought me to this forest. I have tried to get out of this forest, but my efforts are always in vain." Actually, Xiao Ming lied to Evelyn because he could not find the answer in his predecessor's memory.

Yes, he could not see all of his predecessor's memories as if something was preventing him from seeing them.

"Hehe." Evelyn giggled after hearing his answer. "So, you are lost in the forest because you can't ride your horse."

"Please stop laughing at me. My horse did go wild earlier." Xiao Ming kept lying to Evelyn. "I will kick that horse after finding him. Hmmf! what kind of horse left its master alone in a huge forest like this?"

Evelyn's lips curled up into a smile after hearing his words.

They talked about many things as they consumed the grilled chicken.

At that moment, Xiao Ming's heart was filled with happiness because Evelyn's affection parameter went up from fifty percent to fifty-three percent.

This was a good sign!

They decided to find shelter because the sky had already grown dark. Coincidently, they saw a cave next to the waterfall.

They wasted no time and immediately headed to the cave. Of course, Xiao Ming helped Evelyn walk again because her right leg was still injured.

After entering the cave, they sat on the stone platform and made a bonfire.

Evelyn immediately sat in the lotus position and tried to break the seal.

'I need at least two days to undo this seal.'

She sighed.

"What's wrong, big sister?" Xiao Ming asked when he saw her expression.

"Nothing." Evelyn did not want to reveal the truth because she was afraid that he would take advantage of the situation later.

At this moment, she was weak and could not use her magic because she was under the Winged Tiger's seal.

"You should take a rest now because you are injured. Don't worry. I will protect you." Xiao Ming had no intention of doing anything bad to her.

He only wanted to raise Evelyn's affection parameter to at least sixty percent!

Evelyn did not say anything and only stared at Xiao Ming.

'It seems like he is a good young man.'

She sat in a comfortable position.

Xiao Ming instantly sat in the lotus position and shut his eyes, trying to feel the energy of heaven and earth.

'I wonder if I can still use battle instinct in this world or not.'

Like his secret technique, battle instinct was also his trump card.

Battle Instinct was a technique that separated consciousness to make the body attack and dodge on its own.

The human body had limitations because it had to process actions and think about them first if you wanted to take action.

This would limit everything and make them unable to fight efficiently.

People who were in the battle instinct mode would emit unique energy around their bodies.

This energy would act as a bridge between people who were in the battle instinct mode and others or their surroundings.

If they were in danger, this unique energy would give a signal to their bodies, and as a result, their bodies would move on their own.

Because battle instinct used the energy of heaven and earth, they needed a lot of stamina to maintain it.

For this reason, they could not stay in the battle instinct mode for a long time.

Of course, they could prolong the use of their battle instinct, but they had to become stronger first because they needed a strong body to carry and store the energy of heaven and earth.

'The energy of heaven and earth in this world is similar to that in my previous world.'

In his previous life, he used the energy of heaven and earth to get stronger, so he was familiar with it.

'I always feel calm whenever I absorb the energy of heaven and earth into my body.'

He could feel gentle and calm energy around him.

'Hmm?'

Xiao Ming realized something.

'Are they martial arts points?'

He asked in his head.

[No, Host. In your previous life, they are indeed called martial arts points, but in this world, it's called awakening points.]

'I see.'

He noticed seven awakening points in his body; one in each leg, one in each arm, one in the left chest, one in the right chest, and one in the abdomen.

'Is the use of awakening points the same as the martial arts points in my past life?'

He threw another question in his head.

[Yes.]

Xiao Ming finally understood everything after seeing his status.

Two awakening points in his legs were used to increase his agility. Two awakening points in his arms were to increase his strength.

The use of two awakening points in his chest was to increase his stamina. As for the one in his abdomen, it was to increase his mana capacity.

'It's harder to use battle instinct in this world.'

In his previous life, he would store the energy of heaven and earth in martial arts points, but he could not do it in this world.

In this life, the use of awakening points was to increase his levels such as strength level, agility level, stamina level, and mana capacity level.

'Then I can only store the energy of heaven and earth in my body, but….'

Xiao Ming was worried because his body was so weak.

Taking the energy of heaven and earth and storing it within the body required a strong body, or the consequences would be fatal.

"What are you doing?" Evelyn asked curiously.

"I'm trying to practice the technique my grandpa taught me." Xiao Ming gave an honest answer.

In his previous life, Xiao Tian taught him battle instinct after he broke through to the mid-level master stage.

At that time, he already could feel the energy of heaven and earth. That was why Xiao Tian decided to teach him battle instinct.

"I see." Evelyn did not understand because mages and knights had different training methods.

At this moment, Xiao Ming remembered something.

He could learn magic!

'I should ask her to teach me magic now.'

With that idea in mind, Xiao Ming rushed toward Evelyn before finally sitting in front of her.

Evelyn instantly dragged her body back, "What do you want?"

"Big sister, can you teach me magic?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"Magic? Aren't you a knight? Why do you want to learn magic?" Xiao Ming kept carrying a sword, so Evelyn was sure he was a knight.

That was why she was startled when he wanted to learn magic. After all, knights could not use magic.

"It's true that I'm a knight, but I'm also a mage." Xiao Ming knew that Evelyn would say something like that, so he was not surprised by her words.contemporary romance

"What?! You are also a mage?!" Evelyn said in surprise.
