Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

"So, what exactly can you do?" Ely asked the Ning that was in front of her. He had already told her about his plans, so the only thing remaining was for her to wait until he was back from what he was doing.

However, they still had things to do so she needed to know what he could do exactly.

"I can teleport, regenerate, have the same base body that I can improve if I wanted to, and I have the same knowledge as my other self," Ning said.

"Are you connected right now? It's hard to say if I'm speaking to a new you or the actual you," Ely said.

"No, I'm not," Ning said. "I'm pretty much independent for now, but I can be taken over by the other me. Just think of myself as a terribly accurate copy of my own intelligence artificially created and put into this body."

"Well, as long as you don't mess it up," Ely said. "So, what do we do now?"

"Well, I have many things to do, but the first thing would be that I need to break through. I'm going to have to improve as much as I can for the next few weeks before Ning comes back," Ning said.

Ely sighed. "Alright. Let's go," she said and let him do his own thing.

Ning started cultivating without waiting, and at the same time he also absorbed mana and spiritual energy in the surrounding

He had spirit stones for Qi, so his cultivation speed would be quite fast, and Earth was full of Mana, so that wouldn't be very hard as well. However, there wasn't that much spiritual energy for him to draw from the surrounding, so that was a problem.

Also, since his 4 spirits were bonded to this other self, he didn't have access to Saphandra, Terra, Void, and Gray's abilities.

They were roaming around in the house as he had let them free, but he wasn't going to be able to bond with them either way. The best he could do was try to find a different bond from far away and maybe summon it, but with the lack of spiritual energy on earth, he had to give up on the idea of reaching any higher than maybe rank 4 with it.

So, he decided to focus on cultivation and mana for now.

The people in the house, especially Night, Blue, and Ely were surprised by the constant movement of Qi in the air as Ning broke through realm after realm in a matter of minutes.

They knew their cultivation method was good and could help one break through very quickly. However, they had only seen that speed with themselves.

Now, they were witnessing what happened when you mixed the best cultivation method in the entire universe with a body with the best talent in the entire universe.

Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and finally Ascension, Ning went through them in less than 2 hours.

The only reason he was so slow was that the Qi refused to leave the spirit stones any faster. Otherwise, he would've entered the upper realm even faster.

It was the same with Mana as well. He had a very good mana absorption technique, which he run parallel to his cultivation. Due to Mana circuits and Qi meridians being separate in his body, the same with Sea of Qi and Sea of Mana, he was able to perform both sorts of absorption at once.

In the 2 hours, he sucked dry the SS-ranked mana stone he had left for himself, reaching Tier 5 by the time he was done.

His Mana core was gone, so he brought out some more spirit stones and continued cultivating alone. His Body and Qi were improving at the same time, so he didn't stop.

Or so he thought. Unfortunately, he now had a job he needed to do. So, when someone called him, he had to stop.

"We have a training session at 11 today. Do you want to join?" Kim Min-Soo asked from the other side.

"Is this for the S-ranked dungeon I went to before?" Ning asked.

"No, this is for a different one, government-owned. I'm trying to have a secondary team go clear the government-owned one as a favor. I just wanted to know if you are willing to come by for the training or not," she asked.

"11…" he said as he checked the time. It was already 9 am. He had been lost in his own time for a while now. The director and the prime minister still had to set up the global meeting, so he supposed he had some time.

"Sure, I can do it," Ning said. "I might even join as part of the group to clear the dungeon."

"Uh… I don't think that's a good idea," Kim Min-Soo said. "I just wanted you to come help with the training."

"Don't worry, I won't make it easy for them," Ning said. He couldn't do that anyway. "I just want to fight with a few monsters while they rest is all."

Kim sighed on the other side. "Sure," she said. "Be here by 11 then. We will have a 3-hour training. We will enter the dungeon later around 4 pm."

"Alright, I will see you at the guild then," Ning said and ended the call.

A few people walked into the room where he was cultivating and stared at him. Ning stared back and gave a confused look. "What?" he asked.

"How did you cultivate so quickly, master?" Blue asked.

"I have a talented body," Ning said. "I am the best there is."

"Can… can I have one too?" Blue asked.

"A talented body?" Ning asked and shook his head. "It's a 'me' thing. Anyway, stop gawking around. You've seen more fascinating things than this anyway."

That was true, but this was just as equally fascinating as well. A mortal breaking through to Immortality in just 2 hours.

"Where's Hi-Ah and Jung-Hee?" he asked. "Get them ready, we'll have to go to work any minute now."
