Chapter 7: A System ability??

"Grandmaster Lan..May I ask who are you referring by 'her' ?" Laoling asked with respect but his emotions were in turmoil.

'He doesn't mean that slut by her, does he?' He had a few doubts but he shrugged his shoulder. There was no way he would be looking for her.

The elderly man was not good at twisting his word and he had no reason to do that. "I have come looking for your sister, Le Fangling."

As if someone slamming down a bucket of ice cold water on top of him, Laoling jerked up from where he was standing.

"W-Why wou-uld you ne-eed her for?" He asked stuttering. 'This is bad.' He could feel his pulse increasing with every passing moment.

The grandmaster who was still expressionless looked at him, raising his eyebrow. Cross questioning with elders was also considered as an act of impudence and insolence. He was reminding the boy of the rule.

"I am s-sorry Elder…I got ex-cited.." Laoling stuttered as he begged for forgiveness. He was too nervous that he even forgot the rule.

"So where is she?" He did not care about other things and the apology given was not even sincere. His objective was only the girl, other things were of less importance.

"Her…She has been out of the mansion." Laoling lied with his bare face without any shame. "Elder, why don't you rest for the time being? I will notify you after mei mei returns." He answered with a smile.(mei mei= younger sister)

"Hmmm.." The grandmaster had travelled a long distance to come here today from his sect. He had missed a lot of time for his training and cultivation. He needed to make up for the loss.

"I will be cultivating." He turned right away from the door. He felt this mansion suffocating and that was not a right sign for cultivating.

Laoling who was about to show him the way to his room got left hanging in the mid air. He knitted his brow looking at the back of the Grandmaster Lan.

"Tch…proud old geezer.." Laoling cursed under his breathe while he made his way to the torture chamber with a crazy look in his face. He still had a maid to discipline. More like he was going to vent his anger on her.

The maids were worried for the little girl but what else could they do. With no else work they returned to their respective works.

"Ahemm..dear system..what about that thing there?" Le Fangling pointed at the huge signboard on the land beside the pond.

<That's a 'You are not allowed to trespass here' board.> The system scanned the board and answered confidently.

<It's pretty well made...The craftmanship is awesome and the quality of the board is also high.>

In the tab, the skeletal figure of the signboard presented itself showing its length, breadth and height along with the Total surface area and the volume of the signboard.

<This 500 years old signboard was manufactured by the artisan in the Hu Mao city in the Western province.>

The system completely analyzed the board and gave the history, biography and geography of the board.

'That was way too detailed than I had expected.' Xin Xiao contemplated in his heart.

"Well...Exactly....." Le Fangling pointed out the main point they were missing. They were currently in the forbidden and sealed off place located deep inside a lush forest.

What they were doing was an act of crime. They might be made into fugitives and chased after by thousands of cultivators all over the world to the end of the universe if anyone ratted them out to someone in higher authority.

<Ding!!>

<Congratulations, You have successfully unlocked the hidden attribute of the system!>

<Attribute unlocked: Analyze (Basic Level)>

[The host can ask the system to analyze items on a daily basis.

Limitations: The appraised data of the object or creature depends upon the host's current ability.]

"Wow, I am speechless..." Le Fangling did not know what to say about this new ability she just unlocked.

So, he could not only get an ability and update for herself but the system can also unlock its ability?

<Yes, But even if i unlock my ability, it is automatically converted in to your ability.> The system sensed the thought in her mind and answered in its usual mechanical voice.

"Whoa.." This was far beyond awesome.

<Host! I am an updating system. In other words your progression on this world will directly affect my performance as well.> The system spoke the main point that Le Fangling was itching to ask.

She was thoughtful for a while before she spoke again.

"I understand...cough coough....but for now lets' do what we came to do...I think getting chased by cultivators is nothing compared to saving myself." Still Le Fangling looked around the area checking the surrounding if there was anyone eavesdropping on her and system .

If there was she will have to make sure, they did not live to tell the tale.

If the system had not used temporary numbing effect on her, she would already be writhing in pain.

<Do you wish to analyze your body's current status?> The system understood the concern of Le Fangling and proceeded with the event.

"Is it using my ability?" Le Fangling asked.

<Yes, its your ability. You can use it.> the system replied.

"Then I want to use the skill analyze on myself." Le Fangling announced in her head.

<Understood!>

The screen in the stat tab that had the structure of the sign board changed into a human figure...An hourglass shaped outline of the body appeared on the tab reminding him of how sinfully sexy the body he was residing in was.

<Body temperature:17 degree centigrade / critically low>

<Blood pressure::123/76 mm of Hg/ Somehow normal Stable >

<Your current heartbeat is 55 beats per minute.>

<Your current spiritual energy is somewhat fluctuating between 100~200.>

<Life threatening injury: 1 Broken Rib, fractured spine and injured Lungs.>

<Internal injuries: Two of the channels have been temporarily blocked, A heavy injury in the lung meridians.>

<As for your dantain....> the system took a long pause making Le Fangling's heart race in anticipation.
