Chapter 83: System Rewards
Fang Yuan slowly walked to the hut assigned to him by the Academy, nestled within the academy quarters. As he passed by, he heard the mixed sounds of laughter, chatter, and occasional complaints aimed at him.
"There goes the disappointment of the Gue Yue Clan," someone snickered.
"Can you believe he showed up drunk again? No wonder he got less talent than his brother Fang Zhen," another voice chimed in mockingly.
"They should kick him out already," a girl scoffed. "He's just wasting the clan's resources."
Despite the insults, Fang Yuan remained calm, his face showing no reaction. He continued walking with the same steady pace, his mind already tuned out from the noise around him.
He was already used to the insults. Why would insults matter to me? Strokes were insults, what could they do? A superficial person would be angry due to curses and would be happy due to praises. These were just bystanders' ways of looking at you. Those who live according to others' points of view are truly pitiful.
They are just pawns, merely restrained dogs. What truly stalls a person's success is not talent, but mindset. Criticizing, trying to impart these morals onto others, not allowing anyone to have more freedom than them. In this process, they even enjoy this ridiculous moral superiority and bliss.
Any organization, once a person is born, imparts their morals and rules, constantly brainwashing them. Those who want to surpass humanity's achievements have to break free from this mental restraint. Sadly, most people remain trapped by it their entire lives, using this as motivation while treating their chains as symbols of pride.

He walked inside his hut as he closed his doors and shut the window's curtain, which was just a normal cloth. He sat cross-legged on the bed, which was made of wood and was a bit soft to sleep on.
He used his mind to bring out the system menu. The system displayed the rewards stored in his inventory. The inventory space was vast, but currently limited to only 10 blocks, with each block capable of holding 500 cubic meters.
"I think I'll get those other inventory spaces after unlocking something. I need to explore this more. For now, let's use the rewards," he thought as he mentally commanded the system to retrieve an item from the inventory.
"This is space path," he murmured. "Truly, Venerables operate on a completely different level, with insane levels of talent. If this were discovered by others, the entire Gu world would descend into chaos. Even a normal inheritance causes humans to fight until one is eliminated. If a Rank 9 Venerable inheritance were to be known, the impact would be unimaginable."
He examined the strange mist-filled glass sphere in his hand. The cool, smooth surface of the glass intrigued him as he played with it, letting the sensation ground his thoughts. Just then, a system message appeared, instructing him on how to activate the item.
[System Notification: To activate the item, consume the glass sphere. Upon consumption, a vast influx of memories will flood your mind. Warning: The pain will be severe. Proceed with caution.]
Seeing the message, a realization dawned upon Fang Yuan. "This involves the Food, Soul, and Wisdom paths. The mist inside the glass is soul mist, and the container itself is Dao Glass, a Rank 7 material," he thought, piecing the details together.
The act of consuming the item originated from the Food path, while the soul mist facilitated the transfer of memories directly to the mind of the soul, bypassing the physical body. If the memories had been imprinted onto the physical soul, they could have been detected by Heaven's Will. Li Tian had chosen this method specifically to avoid such detection, and Fang Yuan had only now uncovered its hidden brilliance.
Even though he didn't know much about Heaven's Will, Fang Yuan understood that it could influence humans to a certain extent and access information when needed. Normally, Heaven's Will remained indifferent to most individuals, but because Fang Yuan had become its pawn, he needed to be extremely cautious. This was the key lesson Fang Zhi had imparted to him.
