Level Up in Earth Evolution

Li Wei took a deep breath, looking at the mysterious characters that he arranged in the air with the help of the spirits.

The characters were like a magic script from games, however, with more different variations that have a meaning of itself.

These characters can only be formed by spirits; even the gods were no exception.

As for why the spirits can form these characters, it wasn't written in books, and also no heroes and sages know of it.

They only knew how to create skills after a gifted person with the ability to talk with spirits found out about it.

However, they didn't know how to arrange the characters with logic because they learned everything through the skills and never understood anything at the technical and basic level.

So when they finally understood the characters, a few decades were already passed away, but it didn't end here as the most important part was skill creation.

The skill creation process was similar to compiling a computer program of hardware, which will react with important components of the computer.

But it was only similar with logic, and the process was a lot different as Li Wei has to do it personally.

After pondering, he made a serious expression and with the connection of spirits, he released his mana into the mysterious characters.

'I hope it will succeed at once or I will have to do everything again,' he thought, focusing on it, and once again checked the arrangement of characters to see if everything is right or not.

If something was wrong then an explosion might happen, because of this he chose to create a water-based skill so he can handle the aftermath more easily.

*Humm!*

Suddenly, the characters started to vibrate with a hum after receiving the mana from him.

They glowed blue and green and started to become smaller and smaller, becoming the size of normal text on paper.

Watching this, Li Wei took a deep breath again.

"Spirits of Aqua and Wind help me to summon the world book, the time for engraving has come," he declared, passing more mana through the connection.

When suddenly the ground in front of him started to split with a rumbling sound; however, it didn't affect anything and soon a platform made with unknown otherworldly materials emerged from the crack.

"It's more beautiful than I thought," Li Wei muttered with a sigh, watching the platform with the size of a basketball field.

The platform was three feet above the ground, floating in the air with mysterious powers.

On the platform at the centre a big virtual blue book floated surrounded by a circle of eight golden pillars with beautiful designs engraved on it.

There were also some plants growing on the platform; however, they were all outside the circle of golden pillars.

It was a breathtaking scenery filled with the mystery of the world.

"It's a pity XinXin and others are not here. Also, if there is time, I should go out to see the beauty of the world," Li Wei muttered to himself and walked towards the stairs of the platform.

He really wanted to take a photo of it, but he has a feeling that something bad will happen if he did, and he didn't want to gamble with his extremely bad luck.

After climbing the stairs, he finally arrived inside the circle of golden pillars and gazed at the mysterious book in front of him.

'It's filled with mana and spirits; also, this aura is similar to the goddess of death,' he thought, feeling a little shocked.

When suddenly the characters he arranged started to hover over the world book.

The world book seems to sense it and opened itself, turning the pages rapidly.

The pages were filled with mysterious characters; however, Li Wei wasn't able to understand any of them, even though he knew what they were.

'My memories about it are getting erased,' he murmured in his mind, but it was within his exception as he already knew it from the books in the library.

Just as he pondered, he suddenly heard the voice of the world system.

[Ding, Skill engraving request received]

[Processing: 0%..80%..100%]

[Ding, the skill is processed successfully and will enter the test phase]

[Testing: 0%..1%..2%..3%..]

The testing of the skill began as the characters hovering over the book started to glow.

Watching this, Li Wei's heartbeat paced faster as it was the most important part of the skill creation.

If it failed, all the characters will disappear into nothingness with an explosion.

'I hope nothing extraordinary happens here,' Li Wei thought with a sigh as he waited for the skill to be tested.

***

Just as he was waiting, another scene unfolded in the shopping area of the city.

After Li Xin and others were done with shopping and were about to return home, they encountered an annoying person, the new hero Bai Feng.

"Li Xin, what's going on? Why are there two more of you?" Bai Feng asked, his eyes shining.

Li Xin frowned at him and stopped Alice, who was going to say something.

She then looked at Bai Feng with irritation.

"What I do or what I am doing has nothing to do with you, and please look at the donkey with that gaze of yours maybe it will help you," she replied with a snort, not giving him any face.

Hearing Li Xin's words, Bai Feng became stunned and clenched his fists, but before he could reply, Zu Tian fired up.

"Li Xin! This is how you speak to a hero! Who do you think you are? If you don't apologise you will be arrested!" she threatened.

Li Xin, however, didn't care and glanced at them coldly.

"I am Li Xin, my brother's woman, and his little sister. As for coming to arrest me why just because I said something true," she replied with a sneer making Elva and others who were behind her stunned.

They have never seen Li Xin act like this before.

However, if Li Wei was here, he would've figured out instantly why she was acting like this, and the reason was simple: she was on her periods.

As for the change in her personality, it was because Li Wei spoiled her a lot during her hard time, making her act a little(?) different when she was in the cycle.

No one was aware of this, as Li Wei liked to spoil her and got used to it, but it made others stunned and shocked.

Li Xin, who was unaware of others stunned behind her, focused her gaze on Bai Feng, who was clenching his fists with an ugly expression.

"Don't think my brother didn't say anything back then because he was afraid of you; he just didn't want to stay any longer because he was afraid he will end up killing you," she stated, her eyes becoming colder.

"It doesn't matter if you are a hero or not; if you value your life, you better stay away from us. My brother can hold himself for a while; but it doesn't mean he will always do it," she added with a snort and looked back, her expression softening.

"Let's go; we have to buy dinner too," she announced and led everyone away from the stunned Bai Feng, whose face was black as he looked at the onlookers who were watching fun.

...

"Sister Li, what you said is true; Brother Li is holding himself back from killing him," Lily asked after walking a distance away from them.

Listening to her, Li Xin nodded.

"Yes, he is holding himself back from killing him because of the good person test," she replied calmly and thought of the day when she found him cleaning and maintaining the gun inside the locker.

'Brother didn't even fear killing people on Earth, so what's here that can stop him?' she muttered in her mind with a heavy heart, knowing the reason why he was like this.

"Sister Li, we have arrived at the inn," Lily informed, making Li Xin come out of her thoughts and started to look through the food with Alice.

Watching them Li Xin let out a smile.

'Maybe brother can now trust people other than me,' she thought and started to decide what to buy for dinner.

***

Inside the training room of Villa no.1, Li Wei didn't know about their encounter with Bai Feng.

He did send the clone to protect them, but it doesn't mean he will use it to keep an eye on them.

Without being aware of it, he continued to hear the voice of the world system.

[...97%..98%..99%..100%]

[Ding, the skill successfully passed the testing phase and now it's entering the Initiation phase]

[Ding, the skill will initiate in 3 seconds]

As the voice echoed, the mysterious characters glowed more brightly and formed a small drop of water.

Then, with a soft swoosh, it shot out like a bullet, leaving a small hole in the ground where it was aimed.

[Ding, the Initiation phase is completed]

[Ding, the skill has met the requirements to be engraved on the world book; please player Li Wei choose a name for the skill]

The world system asked as the characters floated down on the blank page, but they didn't merge immediately and waited for Li Wei to name it.

"I will name this skill: Water Bullet," Li Wei answered without hesitation, giving the name that he has already come up with it.
