Chapter 72: Ren Necroline

....

"Do you think I went overboard?"

Eren asked Xiu Ying as the Phoenix traveled over the horizon, leaving behind mountains.

"You don't look like you regret it. You have been smiling for quite some time."

Xiu Ying smiled as she cast a glance at Eren.

She could see that Eren had been looking really happy ever since he killed the Sect Master of Asura Sect.

It wasn't the happiness of someone who thought they went overboard.

"Did I make it that obvious?" Eren scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.

It was true that he had been happy. It was good to vent out some frustration. But more than that, the reason behind his happiness was something else.

It was the screen that was visible before him.

[Congratulations on completing the third option]

Xiu Ying thought that he simply killed the man because he was frustrated. That was partially the reason, but the main reason was this.

As soon as the Asura Sect Master came there, four options appeared before him.

Even without these options, he would have loved to teach that man a lesson. But these options made the deal a whole lot sweeter.

He certainly chose the option to kill the Asura Sect Master. Not only was it the option with the best reward, but it was also something he wanted to do.

The other options were too embarrassing after all. All other worlds were related to apologizing, begging for forgiveness or giving up a treasure in exchange for forgiveness.

None of those options made sense to him. He was a man. Xiu Ying was watching him. How could he lower his head?

Above all else, he was now the Master of Zhao Yanmei. It was his duty to see it to the end.

[You have been rewarded with innate skill 'Identification']

[Identification allows you to check the Status Screen of every person or item]

The description of the reward was simple, but it was something that made Eren the most exciting.

He had a system, but the most his system could do was give him options. He did not have any other abilities. He could not even check his own stats.

With this Identification skill, a lot of his problems were solved.

Previously, he could only rely on his knowledge from the book and instincts to know who he could never offend. But there were a lot of dangers in this world that he did not know about.

He knew that the man he possessed was named Ren. But even he did not know this man's complete name.

The book always mentioned him as Elder Ren, never going in detail about his last name. But with the Identification Skill, he was able to see the last name.

The man was named Ren Necroline.

More shocking than that was the identity section. He knew that he was the Elder of the Demon Sect, as well as a Spy of Hero Academy.

He also knew that he was the owner of Devourer Bloodline, thanks to his system. But what was the fourth point?

He rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not seeing anything wrong. However, this was actually being shown on the screen.

'Heir of Necromancer Tower?'

What was the Necromancer Tower? It was one of the Overlords! It was the Overlord of the Northern Continent, just like the Great Demon Sect was the Overlord of the Eastern Continent.

The Tower Master of the Necromancer Tower, no matter which ranking, was always ranked near the top in the Overlord Rankings.

Just his strength alone was enough to bring true chaos to all the land. And he was the Heir of that Necromancer Tower? How was that even possible?

How could Ren have an identity so special and still end up with the Mythical Hero Academy? How could a character like that be so pathetically weak and insignificant in the story that he read?

The next line also surprised him just as much. He had the Bloodline of Devourer, but it showed that he had another Bloodline that was unknown.

Was it a Bloodline related to the Necromancer Tower? He was not certain.

If the first few lines shocked him, then the next few lines made him underwhelmed as well.

His strength, agility and all the other stats were so mediocre that it would have been laughable.

Even an ordinary man in this world had the strength of three points. Meanwhile, his strength was only two points?

He remembered the book mentioned something about it. When the main character had first opened his Status Screen, he was an ordinary person without any cultivation.

Still, he had the strength of ten points. And here he was, with only two points.

He had thought that something was the problem with him. He thought it was because of his memories that he was not able to use the true strength of Elder Ren.

However, was this his reality? Elder Ren truly was this weak at core? Or was there another reason for this?

Even if the Cultivation was sealed, how could his stats be so bad?

With increased Cultivation, the person's body was constantly nourished by the Celestial Energy. That not only affected the bones and muscles but also the core strength.

If the Cultivation was sealed, it could stop the use of Martial Arts, but how could the basic stats get so bad?

There were a lot of things that did not make sense to him, especially when it came to this character.
