Chapter 3: Health Pill or Torture Pill?
As the beam of golden light fell on Long Yun, the focus of everyone in the hall was on him, who was now standing within the beam of light. Su Yuntao's face, which had always been expressionless, showed a slight trace of excitement as he sensed something different happening.
The beam of light enveloped Long Yun for a brief moment before a black light took control and engulfed Long Yun's body like a Python trying to strangle him.
"reach out your hand!" Su Yuntao said apprehensively. However, he knew it wasn't necessary.
Even so, Long Yun obeyed and randomly extended his left hand.
Finally, the black shadow of a Python gradually emerged behind Long Yun. It was a black Python ten feet long and extremely oppressive. As the Python's form condensed and became more real, the fierce roar of a dragon snake echoed through the main hall.
"A Mutant Spirit?" Su Yuntao looked surprised at the spirit who was watching him with cold eyes. However, his focus was on the golden horn on his forehead, emitting an extremely overwhelming power to everyone in the hall.
Everyone was stunned.
"Look, the lone wolf has awakened a power equal to that of the spirit master! He has a great serpent for a spirit!" Someone exclaimed with envy.
"Damn, why not me? What does this little bum have that I don't?
... "A martial spirit??"...
No matter who it was, except Tang San, everyone was biting with envy. It should be known that from now on, they and Long Yun were people from different worlds. While Long Yun would be bathed in honor and glory, they would be bathed in cow's milk when working in the pastures.
{A/N: Considering the price of milk these days, it's not that bad...}
Long Yun was also a little surprised, as this spirit's appearance was the same as in his previous game. It looks like he's actually been transmigrated as his own character.
"This is a Mutant Martial Spirit, it appears to be the mutation of a snake with a dragon!" Su Yuntao said with a slightly shaky voice.
A dragon mutated martial spirit was considered one of the best martial spirits in the world; it was infinitely closer to being a true dragon martial spirit.
Long Yun's martial spirit, a weak and ordinary youth, turned out to be a variant spirit of a Dragon, the Flood Python!!
"Come on, let's test the amount of your spiritual power!" – Without waiting for Long Yun's answer, Su Yuntao quickly approached the sphere as if he was afraid that Long Yun would run away.
'Humph, now you see how special this father is!' – Long Yun's ego increased for a moment when he saw Su Yuntao's behavior change towards him. Even so, he didn't linger either and reached out to touch the crystal sphere.
In the next second, the sphere reacted by emitting a much weaker light than when Tang San had taken the test. But compared to the other kids, they were two different worlds.
"A 6th-level spirit power turned out to be a 6th-level spirit power!"
A 6th-level spirit power was not rare, but it was scarce, with few people able to have such a level on their first awakening. Unfortunately, it was a bit low for a Dragon variant.
Long Yun looked at the flood python floating in his hand; then both of his fists were clenched tightly, barely able to contain the excitement he felt at this moment, even so, his body trembled slightly.
"Thanks a lot, system!" – Long Yun thanked him from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know if he would have the same spirits if he didn't have the system with him, but he knew his path would now be much easier.
[Mmm! Ding! Mission complete! Awaken two martial spirits; Concluded!]

"Your spirit is very good, and your spiritual power is not lacking much in comparison; if you wish, I can refer you to a specialized academy, or issue you an invitation to study at Spirit Hall. Well, you decide within the next three months. And then takes a trip to the nearest town to receive your certificate." – Su Yuntao gave the young man a slight smile.
"Mm, thanks, Senior! I'm going to study at Nuodding academy, which also happens to be the closest town to here." - Long Yun quickly made up his mind.
"Oh, is that so? So it's fine. Good luck to you, boy. Hope we meet again."
...
After Su Yuntao left the village, old Jack quickly sought out Long Yun along with other villagers to witness his martial spirit. Upon seeing the large black python wrapped around Long Yun's body, everyone was shocked and even scared. Even old Jack took a few steps back, a little fearfully.
"It's called a Flood Python, and as everyone can see, it's a beast-type spirit." Long Yun regained his spirit, and then spoke briefly with the villagers before heading back to the hill where he was at the beginning.
"System, consume health pill!"
[Understood! Host, the effects will be too potent for your current body, so get ready to put up with some pain!]
"What do you mean by pain-"
"Aaaaaargh!!!!!"
Before he could ask what he wanted to know, his body began to heat up rapidly as if thrown into a furnace, burning his hair and fur within seconds. His skin also began to melt rapidly, soon to be replaced by a set of clear, healthy skin, making his entire body glow like a precious crystal.
"System, I'm going to kill you!!!!!" – Long Yun shouted inwardly, full of rage. Where was that just a little pain? Clearly this was a full body reconstruction, using the most primitive method; destroying the old, welcoming the new.
In this case, it was your body that was being destroyed and your old 'parts' replaced with new ones.
