Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Ding!

[ Soul Scan (Innate): A divine innate skill that was capable of gleaning almost all of the information it sees. It could directly and vaguely see the stats/skills of beings 3 realms higher than the host.

However, divine skills capable of hiding one's fate and heavenly secrets could weaken the skill's effects.

Activation: None

Skill Upgrade Cost: 25 medallions of forceful upgrade and 100,000 horror points!

Note: It could scan beings with the same or higher level than the host, but it can only show data vaguely! ]

...

Marveling about the drastic changes that occurred to his very soul and irises before checking the vague information that mysteriously appeared within his consciousness, Leo then slowly opened his eyes, only to close them in the next second as itching pain suddenly assaulted his head.

"This... What kind of vision is this? I can only see data and the vague silhouette of everything. Even the ground looks digital to me." Rubbing his eyelids, unable to adapt to the sudden changes in his vision, Leo again attempted to open his eyes.

However, this time, despite the uncomfortable sensation throughout his body and how his eyes felt heavy and seemed to have been stung by countless needles, Leo forcefully stared around him — gazing at the dilapidated ground as its basic information instinctively appeared within his mind.

[ Fertilized Earth: A patch of earth containing rich spiritual qi. Suitable to grow spiritual herbs ranging from 1st to 3rd grade. ]

[ Blade of Grass: A normal grass that absorbs rich spiritual qi throughout the years, causing it to mutate and become a grade-2 spiritual herb. Other than its durability, it could also be eaten despite its bitterness. ]

[ Stone: Infused with spiritual qi and an unusual rule. Using it as a forging material might give you a surprise. ]

...

With bloodshot eyes continuously streaming with hot tears mixed with dark smoke, Leo started to adapt to his newfound vision.

Gazing around him with great curiosity akin to a child, he began attempting to restrain his eyesight, wanting to gain basic control regarding it, as it might pose a great problem if he suddenly met an enemy without being able to differentiate reality from information or data.

"Kid, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly start crying?"

Soon, while Leo was racking his head on how to control his divine innate skill, the weary voice of the soul parasite hidden within his body suddenly echoed in his mind, causing him to awaken from his stupor and immediately remember the reason why he had upgraded the soul scan skill in the first place.

"I just received a backlash after I upgraded one of my skills. It will subside after a while; no need to worry, senior." With words colder than a corpse, Leo replied emotionlessly.

Then, without further ado, he secretly glanced at the specific part of his body where the soul parasite was siphoning his soul energy, manipulating his newly learned innate skill as he began guiding his solidified spiritual qi toward his eyes.

Ding!

[ Life Conservation (Unique): Upon entering a critical state, the host could enter a suspended state, causing the dissipation of its life force to slow down by 100 percent.

Note: Using a skill or innate ability would weaken the effects of life conservation skill by 50-75%... until the conservation effects dissipate. ]

[ Soul Segment (Status): Only a small part of the soul from the original soul... ]

...

Finally able to see the other party's character panel, although still fragmented, Leo couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. The suspicion he had harbored deep within his mind earlier also vanished toward the void, as there were no innate skills or abilities that could glean his thoughts or emotions.

"However, since its information was still vague, he should have an ability that could hide his fate or heavenly secrets... Or maybe its realm was higher than mine?

"Besides that, the soul segment state was worth pondering."

Although it seemed that the soul parasite within his body was a small part of the twisting shadow within the ancient buildings earlier, in actuality, Leo, with his yin eyes (learned from his cultivation technique), knew that the soul parasite within his body was actually the main body, while the twisting shadow earlier was simply its puppet... Hence, the confusion after seeing its soul segment state.

...

"Encountering things beyond my knowledge was really annoying. Sigh."

Shaking his head, removing the unnecessary thoughts within his mind, Leo asked the soul parasite hidden within his body where the nearest core formation realm low-blood beast was located. Wanting to continue slaying them to earn as many horror points as possible.

If he remembered correctly, in order to unlock the next feature within the system, he at least needed to spend a million horror points, a feat that wasn't easy to achieve in his opinion.

"Forget about it; the nearest late stage of the core formation realm was already quite far away from you, at least tens of miles away, and still continuing to increase the distance as we speak by... They seem to already know that someone is hunting them.

"As for the low-blood beasts nearby, there are 10 peak stages of the core formation realm and three in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. With the capabilities you've shown so far, killing the low-blood beasts at the peak stage in a short period of time was simply impossible..."

Upon speaking for a while, clearly lamenting that the beasts they had killed so far were simply too few compared to what he had expected, the soul parasite then fell silent, pondering before again speaking through Leo's mind.

"I had a way that could hastily increase your strength in a short period of time; do you want to try it?"
