I'm a major player in a parallel universe

In just a week, Yang Haoxuan had consumed three Juqiqi Dan pills, and he couldn't help but curse himself for being so wasteful. But there was nothing he could do about it. While others would let the Juqiqi Dan dissolve in their mouths, he directly absorbed it through his body.

But as time passed, the results began to show. One day, he suddenly felt a surge of inner strength, and to his surprise, his muscles, under the influence of this newfound power, started to tighten and become stronger. His bones crackled as they adjusted, making his body feel more coordinated and powerful.

Although his cultivation hadn't broken through yet, the data showed significant improvement.

By the time he had absorbed all twelve Juqiqi Dan pills, a month had passed. This was the result of careful consumption. However, his cultivation still hadn't reached a breakthrough.

But there was no need to worry. Even though he had absorbed all the medicinal power from the pills, he still needed time to assimilate and digest it through training. This was one of the reasons why people didn't just rely on pills to break through.

He practiced tirelessly, eating only one meal a day, eager to dive back into cultivation. Yang Haoxuan had become a true martial arts fanatic, and as a result, he completely forgot about his date with the beautiful Qingxue from Dayan...

Days turned into weeks. It was impossible to tell how much time had passed.

"Congratulations, player! Character has reached level 10! Health and Mana increase by half. Random physical attributes increase by up to 100 points. You now have 10 attribute points to allocate! Two new skills unlocked. Primary life skills activated."

"Breakthrough! I've finally broken through!"

One day, Yang Haoxuan's ecstatic laughter echoed throughout the room. Looking over, he was sprawled out on his bed, disheveled and grinning widely.

Despite his unkempt appearance, he looked more mature. At this moment, the maid who had been serving him entered, saying, "Congratulations, young master, on your breakthrough! I've prepared your bath."

"A bath?" Yang Haoxuan froze for a moment, then sniffed his own body, his face changing. "What's going on? Why do I smell so bad?"

After a few baths and several buckets of water, Yang Haoxuan finally felt comfortable and lay back in the water, muttering, "I didn't expect that after breaking through to the sixth level, I'd have to expel impurities. Now I feel so much lighter!"

His attributes also saw a noticeable boost, with his intelligence rising to over 400.

"Right! Qingxue! What time is it now?" Yang Haoxuan suddenly asked.

Outside the screen, the maid named Xiao Qing stood, wearing thick clothes, her face flushed. She had been somewhat flustered earlier, as she had caught glimpses of his naked body while he was bathing and pouring water...

It took her a while to collect herself, before replying, "Young master has been cultivating for three months now. It's the first month of winter. There's only a month left until the new year. Master asked me to inform you to prepare for alchemy."

"Winter already? I've been in closed-door cultivation for months?" Yang Haoxuan exclaimed in surprise. He had been so focused on training that he hadn't paid attention to the passage of time.

After a long pause, he let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, relaxing in the tub. "Father should have prepared the medicinal materials by now. Please have someone bring them over."

At the same time, Yang Haoxuan opened the game interface. His primary life skills were ready to be activated, and the list of skills dazzled him.

Large-scale skills: Item synthesis, weapon refining, herb collection, material collection, pill crafting, potion crafting, weapon forging, artifact sewing, artifact dismantling, etc.

Small-scale skills: Tailoring, carpentry, cooking, skin care, and more.

He also noticed that after breaking through to level 10, his skill points had increased by 2. However, he didn't plan on allocating them just yet, as there was something more pressing to do.

That something was the Changsheng Jue and its unique meridian, which he could activate at any time. But Yang Haoxuan wasn't about to act recklessly—he needed to be prepared.

Perhaps a bath and a meal would do first.

Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled.

The entire Dayan seemed covered in a white blanket, as if trapped in a snow-covered fairytale. The Dayan Mountain had long since been closed for the season.

Red Leaf Lake was also empty, its surface frozen solid.

At this moment, Yang Haoxuan, dressed in simple warrior garb and carrying a battle blade, strode forward with ease. He wasn't bothered by the cold weather, but he wasn't here to hunt.

He intended to find a quiet place to activate the mysterious meridian inside his body and discover its secrets. First, he planted his battle blade into the ground and stood still, focusing intently.

He took a deep breath, then activated the meridian.

In that moment, Yang Haoxuan felt his limbs seize up with spasms, but there was no pain. Instead, it felt as though his muscles were growing and changing rapidly.

His face grew serious. Although he could feel his power increasing, he feared there might be side effects. Suddenly, the spasms in his limbs reached a peak, as though a special force was being compressed inside him. Yang Haoxuan threw a punch, but stopped in surprise.

This punch was astonishingly slow, as if he were trying to push the energy out of his body.

When the energy reached a certain point, Yang Haoxuan suddenly noticed a spiral curve forming along his arm. As it moved, the snow on the ground was blown into the air. Even his body was being pulled forward by the force.

At the same time, the punch had already been unleashed with tremendous force, but Yang Haoxuan hesitated to strike the ground.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the ground shattered, sending a spray of dirt and ice flying onto Yang Haoxuan. His eyes, however, were alight with excitement.

This was Spiral Power!

The force unleashed by the Spiral Power could deliver devastating blows with both fists and feet. It was an incredible attack. Yang Haoxuan had once seen Spiral Rounds in Naruto, and it was the same principle. It became a signature attack for the main character, a move of extreme power.

Excited, Yang Haoxuan began attacking the surrounding rocks with his fists and feet. The speed of the Spiral Power only grew faster, and the rocks were shattered into pieces before his fists even touched them.

What would happen if this hit a person?

Yang Haoxuan quickly ran over, grabbing his battle blade and activating the Spiral Power while using his Swift Slash technique.

The three slashes, enhanced with Spiral Power, were incredibly powerful. Wherever the blade went, the previously white snow was replaced by black streaks of dirt.

"Great!" Yang Haoxuan quickly stopped, his face flushed with excitement. His cultivation had now reached the sixth level, and his game interface attributes were similar to those of an average sixth-level warrior. But when he actually fought, he could take on someone at the seventh level.

"Truly extraordinary! The Changsheng Jue is no joke! This Spiral Power, I'll call it Spiral True Power, comes from the Changsheng Meridian!" Yang Haoxuan muttered to himself. "I wonder what will happen when all ten Changsheng Meridians are activated?"

With that thought, Yang Haoxuan returned to the Yang family, grinning. Xiao Qing, giving him a playful roll of her eyes, stood by as he stripped off his dirty clothes and took another bath. While he was at it, he also learned a bit more about pill-making.

In the meantime, the Swift Slash skill was activated, and the second warrior skill unlocked, waiting for him to level up again before he could learn the next.

Suddenly, the Alchemic Furnace icon at the bottom center of the game interface lit up!

"You! What are you doing! The young master is still bathing! Just leave the medicinal materials and go!" Xiao Qing's voice, filled with anger, came from outside.

"Heh, leave them? Elder Bai told us to keep an eye on him while he's refining pills. We're going in to see what he's up to. Maybe he's up to some tricks!" A crude male voice echoed.

With his words, Xiao Qing let out a cry of distress as she was shoved to the ground, her voice trembling. "You bad people! Don't go in!"

"Haha! Why are you so protective of your young master? I've heard Yang Haoxuan is a wild man. At fifteen, he supposedly forced Yang Ruolan, the first beauty of the Yang family, to do… you won't also be…"

A round

of crude laughter followed.

Outside the door, Xiao Qing sat on the steps, her face a mix of indignation and frustration. Two burly men stood before her, lecherously eyeing her figure, about to make their move.
