Kahn stared at the newly updated interface, his gaze locking onto the third line of the text.
’Reward multiplier?’ he thought, his mind racing as he repeated the words over and over.
It was an unfamiliar term, something completely detached from the standard system mechanics he had anticipated based on the web novels he used to read back on Earth.
He had been utterly confused about the sudden [10,000x Reward multiplier] that had unexpectedly applied just moments prior.
One second, he was being granted a standard Earth-grade body, and the next, a massive, astronomical multiplier had intervened, completely rewriting the rules and transforming the entire grade of his physique.
The sheer scale of the jump had left his head spinning, and he still couldn’t comprehend how a simple sign-in could be warped into something so entirely monstrous.
’Supreme grade physique,’ Kahn thought, a shiver of pure awe running down his spine as he looked at the final line of his status. ’That’s the highest grade! The one that hadn’t been seen in over a millennia!’
Legends and myths in this world spoke of individuals who possessed such bodies as absolute gods among men, beings capable of moving mountains and altering the very fabric of reality.
To think that he, a broken slave who had been rotting in a dark corner of a cell, now possessed a body that hadn’t walked the earth in a thousand years was completely mind-blowing.
He knew this historical fact because of his habits before the tragic downfall of his family.
Long before the Raging Bulls took over his father’s peaceful sect and stripped away his freedom, making him a miserable slave, he had been an avid reader.
Knowing that his dried-up dantian prevented him from physically training, he had spent almost all his free time locked away in the sect’s library, reading every single book, scroll, and ancient record he could get his hands on to learn more about the vast, dangerous world he had reincarnated into.
He had memorized the classifications of techniques, the histories of great empires, and the ranks of cultivation.
Now, that knowledge was screaming at him, confirming that his new body was an absolute anomaly. Wanting answers, Kahn focused his intent directly onto the screen.
’System, what does this reward multiplier mean?’ he thought.
[Reward multiplier: Each of your sign in rewards is randomly multiplied by either 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or 10,000x.]
Reading the brief description, Kahn’s eyes almost widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat for the second time that night.
He stood frozen in the center of the cell, the absolute gravity of the explanation hitting him like a physical blow.
He realized right then and there just how incredibly great of a golden finger he had truly been given. It wasn’t just a standard system that would grant him average items; it was a broken, overpowered tool designed to elevate every single reward into the realm of absurdity.
He didn’t even need to guess how powerful it could be, because he himself had just witnessed the magnificent effect firsthand.
He had literally watched as a common Earth-grade physique—something that would have merely made him a decent warrior—was boosted all the way to a mythical, Supreme-grade one by the maximum 10,000x multiplier.
The raw power currently humming through his newly forged meridians was living, breathing proof of the system’s terrifying potential.
Before he could even fully digest the massive implications of his permanent attribute, another clean tab appeared abruptly before him, overriding the previous explanation.
[Location Sign in detected: Raging Bulls Prison]
[Do wish to sign-in?]
[Yes/No]
’Yes!’ he thought, completely filled with a sudden surge of absolute certainty.
[Sign-in reward: Uncommon grade Qi gathering pill]
[x1000 Reward multiplier activated!]
[New Sign-in reward: Legendary grade Qi gathering pill]
A small, perfectly round golden pill immediately appeared on his palm, resting gently against his smooth, completely healed skin.
The pill radiated a soft, magnificent golden luster that slightly illuminated the dark corners of his cell, casting shadows against the stone wall.
It gave off a deeply refreshing, potent aroma that immediately cleared his mind and made his newly opened meridians tingle with intense anticipation.
Kahn didn’t waste a single moment staring at it. He quickly sat down in a proper, disciplined lotus position right there on the hard, dusty floor, crossing his legs and straightening his spine.
He raised his hand to his mouth and swallowed the golden pill in one fluid motion.
The moment the pill reached the darkness of his stomach, his newly acquired physique went into immediate action, absorbing the medicine.
For ordinary cultivators, the process of taking such a high-level pill would have been a highly delicate task.
They would have been forced to sit for hours, meticulously using their own carefully controlled internal Qi to slowly break down the pill’s dense outer shell before any of its potent spiritual effects could safely kick in.
His supreme-grade Heaven-Earth Devouring Physique completely bypassed that restriction, doing all of the heavy lifting for him.
The unique properties of his supreme body immediately dissolved the pill the exact instant it touched his stomach, tearing the dense medicine apart and instantly unlocking its full, concentrated potential without requiring an ounce of Kahn’s own effort.
The reaction was instantaneous. All of the immense, pure Qi locked within the legendary pill immediately started rushing to him, exploding outward from his stomach and flooding into his spiritual pathways.
However, the hunger of his supreme physique wasn’t satisfied with just the pill alone.
Since the ambient Qi that had previously lingered inside the small prison room had already been completely used up and drained to push him to the low Body Tempering rank during his initial awakening, his body demanded even more.
The insatiable black hole inside his stomach reached outward, sucking in even more energy from all around the entire sect building, pulling the distant spiritual reserves of the Raging Bulls directly toward his cell.
Kahn gnashed his teeth tightly, his jaw locking hard as he felt the colossal wave of external and internal Qi rush into his dantian all at once.
The sheer volume of energy was absolutely staggering, moving through his meridians like a violent, roaring tidal wave that threatened to tear him apart from the inside out.
The pressure inside his lower abdomen grew to an almost unbearable level, and for a terrifying second, his dantian seemed like it would completely crumble under the immense weight of the incoming power.
But his supreme physique held firm. Instead, it adapted instantly, expanding its boundaries and continuing to suck in more and more Qi like an endless, bottomless black hole that could never be filled.
