Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"This. Why not?"

Showing confusion on his face, the man, holding the wooden saber in his left hand, couldn't help but feel a rare sensation of disappointment in his heart, unable to understand how the pale man opposite him, clearly quite strong, refuses to fight him...

In his understanding, strong cultivators should have a strong fighting spirit, never skipping the chance to grow stronger by fighting their peers... If they back down in the face of a challenge, then their future accomplishments would be limited.

Falling silent, scanning the uninterested face of Leo, the sharp, silver eyes of the man suddenly lit up, seemingly remembering something before taking out a thick object within his inventory.

Swish~

In an instant, a thick green book, exuding an intense refreshing and calming scent, capable of devoiding one's inner struggle, suddenly materialized within the hand of the man; its thick pages, emitting familiar yet unfamiliar rules that continuously coursing throughout the book made Leo's soul feel a deep desire...

As if obtaining the books would greatly help him.

Hehe~

Beholding the faint glimmer of desire within Leo's eyes, which vanished in an instant, the man unfolds a triumphant look on his face.

"How about this? If you managed to land 10 hits on my body, I will give you this book. You should know how rare this type of book is that contains an understanding of rules and various knowledge regarding plants, right?"

The man spoke temptingly, unfolding a huge grin on his face as if he could already see Leo accepting his challenge... Making his wooden saber tremble slightly due to sheer excitement.

However, unexpectedly, in the next second, as the man was readying himself for the inevitable battle—waving his wooden saber excitedly and only waiting for the pale man opposite him to nod its head—Leo in the short distance suddenly shook his head, opening his mouth before refusing decisively.

"What a joke; even without that book, I'm confident that I could perfect one of my rules using the enlightenment stone... not to mention that the book's content was unclear.'

Although it was a pity not obtaining that object that could tempt his soul, Leo still chose to become cautious; without understanding the other party's motive, it was best to refuse.

...

"Eh, then it's unfortunate; I even wanted to give you this book knowing that you had no idea how to plant."

Seemingly not caring about Leo's refusal, the man speaks with an enigmatic smile, leisurely pointing at the newly planted "Enlightenment Macrocarpa" in the short distance—pinpointing the noticeably rotting roots of the plant.

"This! How?!"

Seeing the blackness within the roots of the Enlightenment Macrocarpa and the noticeable dryness of its leaves that wasn't present earlier, Leo's eyes couldn't help but widen, unable to understand how the plant, worth 25,000 horror points, suddenly appeared lifeless.

"What have you done?!"

Shifting his gaze from the plant toward the man in the short distance, Leo couldn't help but emit an oppressive coldness; his eyes, seemingly directly staring at one's soul, released a faint, dangerous glow, startling the man greatly—clearly not expecting Leo's outburst.

However, not to be outdone, the man quickly regained his composure and quickly revealed his aura filled with unbearable sharpness, causing the atmosphere around him to unceasingly release a faint sound of tearing...

To the point that the space began to unfold a faint white line, as if about to cut into two in any seconds.

Hmmpp!

"You planted a tree of enlightenment inside a place filled with Yin and Death energy, yet you expect it to survive in a day?!

"Tsk. Tsk. Having quite a few rare spiritual plants and herbs yet had no idea how to plant them, simply wasting resources.

"What now? Are you going to accept my challenge to win this book, or are you going to wait till all of your precious plants rot?"

...

Hearing this, the coldness Leo was emitting decreased considerably, feeling that he might have misunderstood the other party; however, although that was the case, his eyes remained cold—flickering dangerously under the veil of the canopy as he began to ponder.

Although he was really tempted to get that book that contained knowledge regarding planting, saving countless horror points and efforts that he spent on those spiritual plants, Leo instinctively wanted to refuse.

But...

"Sigh. I refused; the horror points I spent buying spiritual plants might go down the drain.

"So be it. If I notice that the other party had malice, I could simply hold for 5 minutes before vanishing using the "Broken Void" item. With my current capabilities, I don't believe that the other party could kill me in an instant."

Taking a deep breath, Leo slowly looked at the unknown man in the short distance, slightly proving its realm with his elevated senses before finally accepting the challenge.@@novelbin@@

Although his soul scan couldn't reveal the other party's information, he could still sense that the man's realm was still away from the Nascent Soul realm, making him quite relieved.

"I accept; however, we couldn't fight here.

"Moreover, if you destroyed one of my spiritual plants... believed it or not, I could make your life a living hell."

Finally hearing the words of Leo, the man's eyes couldn't help but glint with excitement. His body suddenly emitted a strong fighting spirit as he began walking in the direction of the endless forest... Far away from this place, afraid that Leo wouldn't use all of his strength if their distance was quite near the bland cemetery.
