Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

"Uhh... right. I'll get it some clothes," Ning said as he quickly brought out a set of clothes for his new body to wear.

"Catch me," he said thew the clothes to his other body.

"Hu'” wait, what?" Ely didn't understand what he meant, and only instinctively did what he asked. She quickly caught the old body that was just throwing the clothes.

At the same time, the new body opened its eyes and Ning quickly caught the clothes he threw himself. He started wearing the clothes while Ely started complaining.

"Don't do something like this when I'm not ready. You could've caught your own body," Ely said, a little annoyed that he managed to scare her a little.

"Haha," Ning laughed. "You need to be ready for the unexpected."

While Ely said something else, he started checking out his new body. "It's quite light," he said.

"What?" Ely asked.

"Oh, I said it's quite light, this body. Maybe that's because it doesn't have the body cultivation yet," he said. He looked around the pond and found a small stone that he chucked as far away as he could.

Unfortunately, the farthest it could go wasn't even 100 meters away. His hands throbbed from throwing just a single rock. "Damn, I'm quite weak right now. I need more energy and strength. I should quickly cultivate my body," he said.

"What are you talking about? Isn't that way too good for a mortal? Your body is way better than normal," Ely said.

"Uh, I guess so," he said. "Well, time to test the main thing... although I'm not sure how I will even do it."

"What?" Ely asked.

"Sigh, it's the regeneration aspect. It cost me so much just to make a body that will constantly regenerate if I ever take damage. I don't know how I would I try it though, I can't hurt myself considering how durable I am," Ning said.

"Want my help?" Ely asked.

"Are you sure you want to do it?" Ning asked. "It's not a little cut here and there we are talking about. You will have to cut my arms off and blow my brains out and such."

"Wait, does it have to be so extreme? Can't we just do a little injury here and there?" Ely asked concerningly.

"Don't worry," Ning said. "I don't have any sense of pain, so it won't hurt a single bit," Ning said. "You will just have to mentally prepare yourself, that's all."

"Uhh... alright," Ely said.

"Great, use this," Ning said as he handed her his black spear. Ely held it in her hands and closed her eyes to prepare herself.

"I can do it. I won't hesitate. I will do it," he said to herself in preparation.

"Good, get mentally ready. Start off with small att'”"

"HAH!" Ely shouted as she directly slashed on Ning's temple. The blade of the spear was very sharp, sharp enough to cut through rocks like they were made up of cheese. However, even then the blade couldn't pierce his skin.

However, that didn't mean it didn't do anything to him at all. Since the blade didn't pierce, all the damage he took was blunt damage, and as such, the force behind Ely's incredible body cultivation easily smashed open his head from the other side as blood and brain matters spewed out, scattering all over the pond.

"Ahhh!" she shouted when she saw what she had done to him. "No, no, no, no," she started shouting as the horror of it all unexpectedly caught up to her despite all of her preparation.

Just then, Ning's body started moving, more so wriggling than anything. The blood and brain matters that were scattered started moving back towards the open skull. They all entered the head and the bones that were shattered as well pieced back together.

Soon, what was a fully dead body just a few seconds before now looked like a peacefully sleeping body.

"That was unexpected," Ning said as he slowly opened his eyes and stood up. "I didn't expect the regeneration to work like that. I was certain I was going to regrow things, but I guess this one is more efficient."

He then looked at Ely who was trembling a little. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked.

"I... I thought I killed you," she said.

"Haha, you can't kill me even if you wanted to. You should know that," Ning said.

"I-I know, but that... that was traumatizing," Ely said. "Don't ever ask me to something like that. I can't watch you in that state."

"Uh, I'm sorry. Well, it was partially your fault too though," Ning said. "You should have started normally. Well, I guess going directly for the main even does tell us how it's all going to work."

Ely was still trembling a little, so Ning sat her down and talked to her. It took a few minutes for her to calm down to the point that she was no longer trembling.

That was about the same amount of time it took Ning to realize that he had left his other body without any care.

"Shit!" he said and quickly pulled it next to him.

Ely looked at the old body and asked, "What are you going to do with this now?"

"Uhh... I think I will use it for now," Ning said and quickly switched back to his old body and moved his new body to sit back at the same place.

"Huh? You don't want to use it?" Ely asked.

"I do. I will start cultivating with it once I get the beasts back to their new home," Ning said. "After that, I will have all the time in the world to improve myself."

"Ah, right. That works too I guess," Ely said. "By the way, I've been wondering something. Uhh... why didn't you make the changes to this old body instead of creating a new one?"

"Well, you can see how much cultivation base and body cultivation I have. It greatly affects this body and makes it different, much better than a normal mortal body. So, if I want to make any changes to it, it will just cost a lot."

"Instead it's much easier to just create a new one and make changes to that. Even though it costs a lot, making changes to this body would've cost me 10 times as much easily."

"I see," Ely said.

"Yeah," Ning said. "I wonder how much energy I have left now," he wondered and opened his status again.

"Ah, I still have quite a few remaining. But it seems I used up all of my other forms of energy I had gathered," Ning thought. "Not that any of these matter anymore. I just need to gather them again to unlock the talent. Ah, I should unlock the Spiritual Roots for 500 billion before that."

"I will do that when I start cultivating in a few days," he thought.

He closed his eyes and started cultivating once more. The energy cap had refreshed and it was time for him to gather some more.

It only took him a few seconds in this place to collect the energy required for the cap so he wasn't very worried.

Once finished, he conversed with Ely and waited for the beasts to finish up. It only took them a couple more hours to finish anyway, so Ning freely waited until then.

The aura they released wasn't as strong as Hyesi and the others, but Ning could sense that they were getting very powerful as well.

"Aegis doesn't feel like he had the most increase in power, but Night and Blue are something else," Ning said softly. "Their bloodline powers are starting to show up a little more. Just one more breakthrough to the higher realm and they can surely evolve."

"What's higher than Spirit Transformation realm?" Ely asked. "I don't think I've read it being mentioned anywhere."

"That's not a surprise. Spirit Transformation realm itself was a myth to the beasts before humans even came to prominence. So, there should be no information about the higher realm anywhere on planet Kumia," Ning said.

"As for the next realm, I don't know if that is even possible to achieve in this planet, but it's the Immortal realm. Well, it's more of a category of realms where your age is endless and you don't die of old age."

"Many people seek cultivation for this exact thing and... I don't know how possible it is on this planet," Ning said. "But, don't worry. If it's not possible on this planet, I will take you someplace else where you can cultivate to the highest realm."

"That's... thanks," Ely said.

"No problem," Ning said.

They waited for a few more hours as Ning collected more energy and finally the beast was done. Ning waited for a bit and let them consolidate their cultivation bases before they appeared.

"Master," a voice came from far away.

"Oh, Aegis seems to be done," Ning said as he turned around to look at the beetle coming from far away. Only... the silhouette didn't seem right.

"Master, look what happened," Blue's voice came from far away and his silhouette seemed to have changed too.

"Master," Night spoke from right behind them. He was so fast that Ning couldn't even sense him moving next to him. "Is this normal?" he asked.

Ely put her hands on her mouth to hide her dropped jaw.

"Uh... I forgot to tell you guys about this. This is on me," Ning said. "You see.. After spirit transformation realm, beasts gain the ability to transform to a human."
