Chapter 375 - Mere Failed Attempts At Copying

An evil and maniacal smile appeared on Jha'Akim's face. 

"Interesting, very interesting. I've only ever seen the intents, and while they were interesting, they didn't seem very strong," Jha'Akim said. "However, these look like something I will have a fun time fighting against."

Ning didn't say anything and simply dashed forward. The entire domain around him lagged just a fraction of a second behind him. So, even when he was right in front of Jha'Akim, the domain was not. 

He slashed directly at Jha'Akim's head, but he blocked the attack by stopping the spear by the shaft. 

However, just a split second later, the entire domain reached him and all of the spear intent that came with it started hitting Jha'Akim from every direction. 

Jha'Akim constantly maneuvered himself to dodge the ethereal spears, but there were just too many of them flying at impossible speed for him to dodge. 

So eventually he started getting hit by many of the spears in the domain. The damage he took was quite high, but not enough to truly hurt him. 

They were more like mosquito stings that were annoying if the mosquitoes couldn't even be killed. 

He tried to ignore the ethereal spears and attacked Ning directly, but the spears started getting in his way. Ning would also move away from him but stay in range for him to get hit by his flying spears. 

"Dammit!" Jha'Akim cried out and immediately spread out his cultivation base to stop the spears from touching him. His aura created a layer around him that actively blocked all of the spears. 

He was expending a lot of Qi, but he felt like it was worth it. After all, he wouldn't need much time to get it over with Ning. 

Ning was surprised as well. "How is he able to stop my spears?" he wondered. He didn't remember Jha'Akim being that strong. 

Before he could even think anything else, Jha'Akim rushed at him and directly punched Ning. 

Ning brought up his spear to block and managed to stop Jha'Akim's punch with the shaft of his spear. 

The power behind Jha'Akim's punch was absorbed by the black shaft of the spear and was ready to be repurposed at any moment. 

Ning didn't waste any time and rushed forward to attack. However, just as Jha'Akim was about to block, he disappeared. 

Jha'Akim was surprised and at the same felt a piercing pain rush through his back. He jumped forward and turned around to see Ning behind him. 

"How did you get behind me?" he asked. He checked his back and saw a large in his cloth as well as blood leaking from the hole where he was stabbed with the spear. 

Ning had attacked with all intents and purposes to directly pierce through his heart, however, because of how strong his defense was, Ning could go through it all. 

Ning was surprised as well. 'I caught him off guard and he still survived?' he asked himself in surprise. 'Also, why does he feel stronger now than he was an hour ago?' 

"How are you teleporting around everywhere? You killed my people from all over the globe too. Not to mention the fact that you can come in and out of such a special place like this. This is too weird," Jha'Akim said and fell into thought. 

Then his eyes widened as a thought appeared and he looked up at Ning. "Could it be… that you have a system too?" 

Ning was caught off guard by the question and unintentionally stopped his domain. His eyes widened as well when he heard that. 

"So you do have it," Jha'Akim said. "To think that I would meet another person with a system in this place, what a coincidence."

"You have a system?" Ning asked. 

"Of course I do. How would I have become this strong in such a shitty world without one?" he asked. "Tell me, when and how did you get your system. I'm really curious."

"Why should I answer you that? I'm going to kill you soon anyway," Ning said.

"Stop being angry for a second. Look at me. You killed so many of my people, yet I'm not angry at you for now. Just answer my damn question," Jha'Akim said. 

Ning was angry, but that was soon overshadowed by his curiosity as well. "You tell me first then," Ning asked. 

"I don't know," he said. "That's why I'm asking. Mine just popped up the day my mother died. Ever since then, I've been killing beasts trying to obtain their bloodline through their system."

"Speaking of which," Jha'Akim said as he looked at Ning weirdly. "Did you not gather any bloodline yourself? I don't sense anything in you." 

"Why would I want to gain bloodlines of beasts?" Ning asked. 

"Eh? Then isn't your system useless?" Jha'Akim asked.

"My system has nothing to do with beasts or bloodline," Ning said. 

"Oh, then what does it have to do with?" Jha'Akim asked. 

"Nothing that concerns you," Ning said. 

"Tsk, it does concern me a little," Jha'Akim said as a sinister smile appeared on his face. "I can always steal your system."

"What?" Ning was surprised. 

'System, can he steal the Energy system?' Ning asked. 

<Nobody can steal the Energy System>

"Then why is he saying he can steal my system?" he asked. 

<Some of the systems allow their host to steal other people's systems>

"What about the Energy system? Can I steal his system?" Ning asked in confusion.

<There is no need to steal any system.>

<All systems are a mere failed attempt at copying the Energy system and failing miserably.>

<You already have the best of the best. You do not need trash, especially ones that do not abide by the laws of the universe>

"What law of the universe? can you explain?" Ning asked. 

<Most system creators go above and beyond while trying to make a system and give it abilities to overcome the constraints of the physical world such as creating energy from nothing>

<The Creator despises these systems and their maker, so if you ever come across such, he requests that you destroy them>
