[System] + [Demon Pets]
Legend has it that ancient Confucian scholars used words as weapons and ink as the medium to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the aura of scholarship. This aura could sharpen armor and blades, protect its bearer, and reflect attacks. They were invincible beneath the heavens.
Sadly, five thousand years later, yin grew dominant and yang waned, and Confucianism fell into decline.
Now there is a yellow-toothed scholar who cultivates the Heavenly Profound Sword, tramples fierce ghosts underfoot, sweeps through demonic beasts with his sword, and cuts down heavenly demons above. He enters an immortal sect and slays a celestial immortal.
"Congratulations, Master! You have awakened the Myriad Volumes System. Reading books will earn you the aura of scholarship."
"System, System, why did you only show up now? I've been reading for seventeen years. Does that mean all my reading before this was for nothing?" Li Changsheng was heartbroken. He had already read every book under heaven, and only now had the System appeared. How infuriating! The aura of scholarship was something only ancient Confucian scholars could cultivate!
"It is true that you read more than ten thousand books before, Master, but your shortcomings are glaring."
"Ridiculous! I've read so many books, I've long since read more than ten thousand. What shortcomings could I possibly have?" Li Changsheng protested.
"Then have you read yellow books? Have you studied the various immortal techniques?" the System asked.
"Yellow books? Those are all forbidden books. I... haven't read them..." Li Changsheng had read every book beneath the heavens except for yellow books and immortal techniques.
"And you still claim you have no shortcomings?" The System's reply left Li Changsheng speechless. No matter how much he called out to the System after that, it never responded.
I added a bookshelf and kept the books. The writing is good and the characters have good names.
