Chapter 47: Chaos Body
"Why is he so worried about those ants?" the man asked when he heard his son's thoughts.
"It's because he hasn't reached your level of strength," the lady defended her son.
"And it's not like you were any different. If I remember correctly, you would run as soon as someone two levels higher than you appeared," she countered.
"Uhhh, hey, it was a tactical retreat, okay? I just didn't want to waste my energy fighting people more than twice my age for nothing," the man defended himself.
"Hahahahah," the lady's crisp laughter came right after the man finished his sentence.
"Ohh, I have to tell this to my friends. I can't keep this all to myself," she said as she vanished from the void space.
"Hey, wait, WIFEEEEE," the man shouted as he followed her.
But a few seconds later, they came back as they sensed something happening inside the game.
"How did the seal get destroyed?" the lady asked as she saw what was happening inside the game.
When they saw the changes in the Physique section, both of them lost their calm and composed attitude. They turned serious and had frowns on their faces.
'THIS IS BAD!!!' was the only thought they had.
"Wasn't the seal foolproof?" the lady asked as she looked at her husband.
As she said that, Xu Qianghua, who was still thinking about the possibilities of foul play, saw his terminal buzz repeatedly.
He then remembered the Physique Rejuvenation card he used on the avatar, which was an exact copy of his real body.
*Ding*
*Congratulations Player Qiangqiang, you have regrown your physique and it can be viewed on your personal information page.*
Seeing this, he immediately opened his personal information page at the bottom left corner of his terminal.
As he opened it, he saw:

[Feedback: One of the weakest cultivators in the void but due to special reasons has an unknown physique that could turn him into a shooting star. However, it depends on whether he will be a shining star or just a blip in the river of time.]
Xu Qianghua was used to the personal information page as this was the only page everyone looked at to understand what was happening to their body.
However, there was a flaw in this interface compared to what was used by the Supreme Will.
Xu Qianghua wasn't surprised by the emptiness of the whole page since this is how it starts. The game system does not even give out a starter kit like in other games.
Instead, players either buy them from the mall or try to get them by doing a mission on the mission board, which is next to the information page option.
But without anything to fight with, it was a death wish to use the mission board, as most quests are usually for the top players.
These were the ones that the World's Will had posted to help it deal with some bugs both in the game and after the game merges.
However, this changes when the game is merged as the World's Will gives everyone a small gift pack that has a set of cheap clothes, a rusty sword, and the basic cultivation manual that can only go up to Foundation Peak.
After that, players either join a sect created by the natives of the new world or the player-built sects. In the early stages, joining native sects is much more beneficial as they have a complete template for the players to follow while the player-built sects are usually run down and have no templates for the cultivators to follow.
As for what a template is, it is something that all cultivators call a complete set of both cultivation manuals and combat manuals that complement each other, bringing out much higher power than cultivators without any kind of templates.
Templates can be mixed and matched depending on the cultivator's wishes, but this will also reduce the increase in power that they can bring out.
However, since the world is still newly evolved, there aren't enough templates. This is especially true for high-level templates.
This is not because there is no way to create a template but because there are no main cultivation manuals that can be used as the core manual for a template, as they are the first manual that each cultivator needs to practice before they can even touch the combat methods.
One exception is the cultivation manuals above the Galaxy level, as they usually have their own combat skills and usually come as a complete template.
This saves a lot of trouble for Xu Qianghua and his group as they do not have to go around looking for high-level templates.
Xu Qianghua knew that the top 10 family-style players had at least one high-level template each, but he didn't know their ranks. Having a template means being able to mass-produce many strong cultivators. If you have a high-level template and a genius who can use it, then you have a future strongman who can solidify their status.
And why is this important? Because with a template, a genius can skip all the useless trial and error required when choosing their combat skills and cultivation manuals.
Xu Qianghua knew that if he wanted to create a successful family-style player, he would need more than one template so that the members of the family can have broader selections to choose from.
But this does not mean that the family members will become lazy as the manuals do not come with the experiences that an older cultivator faced when they practiced this template.
This is because each cultivator has a different body, which means that the experience from the older cultivator does not help the younger generation.
But Xu Qianghua did not think much about this as he was really excited about his physique as in his last life he had to live without a physique.
This is not a big problem in the grand scheme of things as the people who had physiques were one in a million.
But who doesn't want to have a physique? And Xu Qianghua, who had a physique but lost it, made it a really awkward situation.
So he was really excited to see the physique that he so longed for in this last life.
But when he saw the name of his physique, he was completely speechless.
This is because Xu Qianghua has never heard of this physique so he was worried that this is a new physique which has never been seen which might lead to more trouble than he would like.
But he had to conform so clicked on the Physique section of his information page, which took him to the detailed information about his physique.
But this is what made him speechless:
Physique: Chaos Body
Details:
Rank: Unknown
