Chapter 2: Have I been in seclusion for too long?
As the little green children were charging towards me, clubs in hand and screaming foreign words, I felt myself curious at the bravery of these creatures. I'm clearly a martial arts saint and my aura shows this, do I look so easily robbed? the only thing I have of worth is my pristine white robe, but those children would need to climb on themselves just to use it, so they couldn't possibly be after this. Perhaps my life then? They want to kill me?
Since they want to court death, I don't mind showing them a glimpse of it, so be it. Tang Sheng released more of his Martial Saint aura, immediately driving the goblins' heads down to the floor in a worshipping position. Without even raising a finger, these creatures in a pack of 10 were completely immobilised.
Tang Sheng curiously walked toward one of them lying on the floor of his training grounds, located at the midpoint of his mountain, above a large forest and stepped on its head, as to see how his companions reacted. This was important for Tang Sheng to understand their value to the other goblins. How else could he understand more about them? communication was an issue, and their aggressive tendencies didn't allow for reason. His plan was to kill them one by one in order to freighted the others into showing him where they came from, or gloss any details that were understandable. Strength was everything in his day, if they saw overwhelming strength then they would submit, or so he thought.
However, as Tang Sheng killed the first goblin, a system interface appeared before him.
"WHAT"
Attempting to smash the screen with his fist in front of him, Tang Sheng panicked as he believed an enemy had approached him in a dangerously close proximity. Never had he seen a mobile phone, a television, any interface or modern technology as he had been secluded in the mountains.
"Is this, God?"
Looking through the interface, Tang Sheng found the information in a familiar text to him, reading out the contents of his name, Martial rank, Class, and his abilities.
-How does this being know my Martial Saint rank? My skills, even original arts I created back a thousand years ago?- Tang Sheng thought.

Skills - Tang illusionary fist (S), Tang Air Kick (S), Heavenly Smite (SS), Aura of Chaos (SS)
Level - 1 (23%)
Strength (50)
Vitality (50)
Intelligence (15)
"Why is my intelligence so low? am I an idiot? and what is this aura of Chaos? it reminds me of the experiment back then."
After thinking about it, Tang Sheng understood the reasoning. Intelligence is a factor difficult to grow, unlike strength and vitality.
"Alright, let's see what killing the rest of you does, care to be my experiments?" He grinned.
With the snap of his fingers, the goblins exploded, the martial saint aura pressed the bodies of the green creatures into meat paste, colouring the ground in red.
[Level up]
+5 Strength +5 Vitality
Tang Sheng felt his whole body feel lighter, as if his strength and body had improved within that second.
-This feeling of improvement I haven't felt in over 400 years, how great it is!- He thought.
-This [Level], what exactly is it? to be able to change my body with ease, improve my strength at my level, this must be a greater being-
The biggest question in Tang Sheng's mind was 'Was I in seclusion for too long?'
