As he heard the aunt explaining, he became momentarily shocked.
Everybody thought that it was strange of him and under their judgeful and disgusted expressions, he kept his pride and walked straight.
He used the patched-up blanket as a cape, enhancing his gusto and bravery by draping it over his shoulders like a big general .
After a difficult walk to the entrance, he went back to the area of Xiao Rou’s house. Xu Que’s face turned red as he stared down at himself. His mind was wandering to Xiao Rou’s beautiful appearance and petite figure.
Damn it! No, no, no. I can’t continue thinking of that. You sit back down now and stop standing.
Xu Que scolded himself in his mind and pressed down his "little brother" which was about to have a raging erection.
He quickly walked to a small pond in the distance, placed his clothes on the shore and splashed into the water.
He was washing the medicinal ointment off his body and at the same time, he was concentrating his thoughts back on the system.
He concentrated and opened the system. His personal stats were being shown to him again.

"I only have 25 acting tough points. When can I achieve the intermediate level for my skill?" Xu Que sighed anxiously in his mind. At the same time, he opened the system store and viewed the cultivation techniques category.
He was stunned at what followed.
Previously, he didn’t notice the exchange goods in the system store that much since he thought that they were too expensive and couldn’t afford them yet.
But now, he realized that it wasn’t that the Skill path ’ intermediate manual was expensive, but was because of the high skill level requirement it needs. The high price was thus justifiable.
The system store categorized the skill paths into various classes, ranking from highest to lowest classes.
The Yellow-rank skills required 1-5 acting tough points.
The Black-rank skills required 5-10 acting tough points.
The Earth class skills required 10-20 acting tough points.
But for the Sky-rank skills, the required acting tough points were more than 20 points. All the way to as high as 200 points.
For the current Skill path he was training, the , for the pages at Sky-rank, were of very premium value. The beginner to intermediate pages of this skill each require 100 acting tough points but when he reach the advanced writings, it costed a whole 200 acting tough points.
On top of that, there were other ranks besides the Sky, Earth, Black, and Yellow-rank skills but they were locked up and the names cannot be seen.
Xu Que tried to check those but instead received a system message, "Host’s privilege level not sufficient. Skills are not available to you yet."
"Interesting!"
He didn’t lose hope. Instead, he felt more excited and looked forward to seeing what this "Ultimate Acting Tough, Face-Slapping system" can do, knowing that there were even higher ranked skills than the Sky-rank.
He reopened the Yellow-rank skills and something came to his mind.
Although I am currently training this skill , I am still lacking battle magic skills which will benefit me in combat. I have to find a suitable skill to train.
"Lone-Nine Swords? Fuck! This kind of skills are only Yellow-rank?" Xu Que became increasingly astonished as he was browsing the skill books.
But then he came into realization that this Lone-Nine Sword skill was a battle skill from the
World of Heroes but he was right here in the World of Immortals! The skill was no match for the immortals in this world.
He skipped the Yellow-rank skills and opened the Black-rank skills.
What caught his eye was a skill book and was going for very cheap. It costed only 5 acting tough points, and its description stated that this skill required the use of internal forces but when combined with fire-element spiritual Qi, its potential can be fully utilized and its power was unmatched.
Xu Que’s eyelids jumped and became tempted. However, he suppressed his impulsiveness and continued browsing other skills for now.
"Dark-Ice Sword Art? Uh, nah… Name doesn’t feel aggressive enough."
"Flame Magic?"
"Triple-Flamed Blade Art?"
"Wood-Element Skill? Golden-Quake Fist?"
"Damn it! All the names aren’t aggressive enough! How can I act tough with those lame skill names?"
After a duration of continued browsing, Xu Que continued to shake his head in disapproval.
Although all the skills costed as much as , he couldn’t care less about the extent of its combat prowess. He determined since the start that the name was the most important factor. The tougher the name of the skill, the better it was for acting tough.
As he continued browsing, Xu Que was still unable to find a satisfactory skill name. He might as well check the Earth class skills out.
