The trees and bushes paint the landscape with green and brown colours, they let their green hands reach up towards the sky. The beaming ball of yellow gases is obstructed by the exuberant branches and leaves intertwined in mid-air.
A little Rabbit leapt through the twigs and logs, wind whistling around trunks.
The animal stopped as a barricade of rotten wood, and furniture appeared in the entrance of its lair.
Its short fluffy legs prevented the tiles from creaking noisily as it entered the cabin through a hole between two crumbling dead logs. The uneven ground and the dark interior didn't worry the rabbit as it kept leaping.
PA, PA
A pink figure with a taint of white around it and black colour in the tip appeared in its view.
PA, PA
From years of escaping dangerous predators, the rabbit instinctively knew this animal wasn't a threat.
PA, PA
Coming even closer to the sleeping figure the rabbit's tail started growing, so did its hind legs, ears, and tail.
Its front teeth increased in size, turning into two sharp fangs. The rabbit red eye's turned malicious as something dark flashed in them.
A hand shot out from the figure as it grabbed the rabbit's neck.
That's the last thing the rabbit witnessed before a freezing sensation assaulted his body as his awareness dissipated.
Killed Rank 1 Devious-Rabbit: 15 Exp
"Cough-cough, it seems there was a hole in the barricade" Said Wu Yi Hai in a raspy tone. Coldness took him as his hands moved to his face.
Ice slide off from his face as a sudden dizziness assaulted the Gu Master.
Wu Yi Hai slowly leaned against the wall with trembling limbs as he spread a hand against his chest.
"Gu creation system" A soft and shaky voice resounded through the house as a blue box emerged in the air.
Lists of recipes emerged in Wu Yi Hai eyes, some of them blocked but four of them caught his eye.
Gu Available:
?-? [?]
?-? [?]
Blood path Gu- Blood Companion- Ingredients [Corpse of Chosen Companion 2/1] [Blood of Blood-beast 1/1] [Eyes of Soul Eagle 2/2] [Blood Of User 1/1]
Transformation path Gu- Gamer Body- Ingredients [?] [?] [?] [?] [?]
Refinement Path Gu- Absolute Precision- Ingredients [Glorious Hands of God 0/1] [?]
Refinement Path Gu- Figure Projection- Ingredients [?] [?] [?]
Wu Yi Hai stared at the text without blinking, taking deep breaths while humming "The system also refines the Gu or does it only display the materials?"
Wu Yi Hai started experimenting, touching, and moving the blue box, but nothing happened. "The system only displays recipes, but I don't recognize any of them, Glorious Hands of God? What is that? It seems it relates the three recipes to my three attainment levels"
Grabbing ahold of the wall, Wu Yi Hai got up, his body still sore as his eyes glanced at the page still curled in his hand. "So, my idea was correct certain requirements need to be met before the Gu can be refined and assimilated into Gamer Gu"
Expelling a grunt, lightheadedness assaulted Wu Yi Hai. Squeezing the eyes shut, then opening them wide in an effort to stay awake.
Wu Yi Hai's eyes focused on the Blood path Gu as fresh ideas surfaced in his mind, "I understand now! The Blood of the Blood-beast would increase its overall physic granting the animal blood path abilities while with the eye of the Soul Eagle I can see me from my companion point of view, lastly my blood will form the connection between us."
Wu Yi Hai touched the recipe as another text appeared.
[Procced]
In a matter of seconds, Wu Yi Hai deduced and broke down a Gu recipe. This is workable by his Grandmaster attainment in refinement and his mastery with blood path Gu.

Wu Yi Hai's eyes-brows shot upwards "It seems when I unlocked the Gu creation system my attainment in Gamer Path increased. With last night theory confirmed the Gu I refine with the creation system will be the ones that are assimilated into Gamer Gu this means I need not refine them in every rank nor feed them." His eyes grew wider as a small laugh escaped his lips.
Wu Yi Hai eyes closed as his Primeval essence flowed into Storage Gu.
A vial of blood emerged in his hand, followed by the two white eyes of the Soul-Eagle.
His hand pulled as he seized the corpse of the rabbit.
"In the system two materials appear in the chosen companion, the Gifnora Dog and the Devious-Rabbit. The Gifnora Dog's overall physique would improve in the refinement but it would never reach it's true potential as it was old and weak. The rabbit is the perfect animal, its small which I can use to scout and can also be pretend to be a normal rabbit being able to keep a low-profile when I return to society," Wu Yi Hai Thought as he stroked his chin.
Wu Yi Hai sat on the ground in a lotus position while absorbing primeval stones.
70%...80%...90%
Blood path Gu- Blood Companion- Ingredients [Corpse of Chosen Companion 2/1] [Blood of Blood-beast 1/1] [Eyes of Soul Eagle 2/2]
[Procced]
Wu Yi Hai touched the screen as a translucent figure emerged in the air. The figure was like a human, but without a face or genitals.
Translucent materials emerged around the figure as its hands moved, refining the Gu.
Wu Yi Hai's eyes remained narrowed, remaining fixed on the figure's actions.
As the projection finished refining the Gu, Wu Yi Hai shadowed the same procedure.
The blood in the vial spilled all over the corpse of the rabbit, staining the white fur with a red colour.
Two white eyes appeared in Wu Yi Hai's hands as he carefully placed one of them on his forehead while the other one in the rabbit's right eye.
His right hand moved and descended on the rabbit's forehead as primeval essence flowed into the rabbit's body.
The red stains in the rabbit's fur expanded as they covered all its body. The white eye in its forehead stared, melting and entering its brain.
The white eye in Wu Yi Hai also liquefied entering his aperture.
Wu Yi Hai bit his right index finger as a drop of blood fell, impacting the rabbit's forehead.
90%...80%...70%...60%
The primeval essence surrounded the corpse as the rabbit's body absorbed the green copper liquid.
Its fur completely converted into a blood red as its body started growing, its two front fangs turned even sharper and curved as the tip became red.
A third eye emerged on its forehead, the eye is completely white without a pupil nor iris.
The rabbit's body started twitching as two red orbs opened, staring at his master without blinking.
Refined Rank 1 Gu Blood Companion: 15 exp (+10 Gu creation System)
Sweat fell through Wu Yi Hai forehead as he tested the animal in front of him.

Special Abilities: By swallowing stronger organism's blood, it can strengthen itself.

Blood path was founded by Blood Sea Ancestor in which Gu Masters use and manipulate blood.
It is a path that has low cultivation and entry requirements and excels in attack power, regarded as one of the five most powerful offensive paths in the current era.
Gu in this path are easy to refine and feed, needing primarily blood as refinement materials and food.
It has a vile reputation making any cultivator of this path a heavily despised and suppressed character by righteous path forces and even demonic path cultivators are wary of blood path cultivators.
"I remember now! This recipe comes from Blood Sea Ancestor inheritance, a Blood Gu Master refined this Gu and was hunted and killed by righteous path forces. The ability to advance by swallowing stronger organism's blood was too dangerous for the righteous clans" Wu Yi Hai's eyes grew wider, taken aback by the abilities of the Gu.
"It's weak defense is a problem, but being sensitive to blood is a double-edged sword-no that would be true for normal Gu Masters but I have an Immortal soul so can suppress it with just a thought" Thought rapidly the past-Immortal.
Focusing on his aperture, a Gu with the form of a bloodstain forming a rabbit appeared.
"As it is connected with Gamer Gu, I need not to increase its rank and just needs blood to live" Thought Wu Yi Hai as the Blood-form started rubbing against the Gu Master's legs, desiring his attention.
Wu Yi Hai patted his companion's head as he grinned broadly.
Many vials emerged in his hand as the rabbit's eyes brimmed with desire "Are you hungry little rabbit?" Inquired teasingly Wu Yi Hai "Now I need to refine some Gu and cultivate" Thought Wu Yi Hai as primeval stones appeared at his feet.
The sun hung high in the sky as the clouds scattered the rays of the sunlight. Wood beetles bumbling across rotten fallen logs, clean water rushing across smooth rivers. Trees rising out of the earth to brush against the sky, sun-dappled leaves creating flickering shadows.
An animal surfaced between some bushes with its long, blunt nose, small eyes, and large ears. Its skin boasts short hair and an erect mane which extended down the entire length of its body.
Its large tusks only reinforced the wild boar's powerful appearance.
A pack of exact tiny copies followed the boar as they walked through the forest.
A red figure flashed through the air as its fangs nailed into the boar's eye, profoundly below the matched mane.
GRRR
This anger him up and instinctively tries to throw its attacker away. The figure kept stabbing its fangs and claws at the neck and face.
Its eye burst open, hangs out of its socket, and runs down his face that keeps the blood flowing.
Its grunts startled the boar's babies as their cries resounded through the forest.
The boar started shaking, throwing its attacker a few meters away.
The figure impacted against the ground, revealing its red fur, and two sharp fangs covered in blood.
A dark aura emanated from the rabbit as its black and red eyes fixated on the boar.
The boar grunted as its full body charged against the animal, its steps let paw prints in the ground as its weight broke the twigs in the floor.
As steps of the boar got closer and closer, the blood-rabbit leapt to a tree while clutching with its claws.
The boar with all its fury impacted against the tree.
BAM
The tree shook as red leaves and branches fell into its fur, the red of the leaves disappeared. A legion of horrible, hundreds in number, red mosquitos entered the boar body through the injury in the neck and eye socket.
The boar started trashing and trembling as the insects consumed the boar's blood, making it weaker little by little.
Taking advantage of the opening, the rabbit hopped into the fray, gnawing and cutting the boar's body.
The beast let a cry before slamming to the ground and succumbing to his injuries.
Rank 1 Boar: 15 exp
A kid emerged from the bushes as he examined area. Its blank expression fixed on the boar babies as he strolled past them towards the corpse.
Squatting, the child flowed primeval essence into a red Gu with the shape of a mosquito.
More insects sprawled out of his sleeves as they went to feast on the boar corpse.
Wu Yi Hai feet moved as they got closer and closer to the boar babies.
His hand shot out, grabbing the neck of the closer one as it started struggling and shrieking in Wu Yi Hai's grip.
SNAP
"In the Gu world the strong eats the weak, it seems the law exists everywhere" Whispered the Gu Master accompanied with a half-hearted shrug.
More insects came out of Wu Yi Hai sleeves as they devoured the other boars.
"Guillotine Gu is a suitable Gu for my circumstances but it also has its drawbacks" Thought Wu Yi Hai while rapping his fingers lightly on the boar's corpse.
Guillotine Gu is blood path Gu left behind by Blood Sea Ancestor.
The flying insects have an ability to prolong their life and strengthen their strength by feasting blood of others.
If the flying insects were hungry and couldn't find food, they would eat each other, reducing the size of their group to sustain the expenditure.
At its peak, the flying insects could engulf the skies and lands, destroying villages in their path, and were more fearsome than many Rank 6 Gu Worms.
Quest:
Hunt
Objective: Hunt over 5 animals (Completed)
Objective II: Hunt over 10 animals (Completed)
Reward: 20 Exp (Completed)
Reward II: 50 Exp (Completed)
The insects completely devoured the blood of the boars as they came together, creating a cloud of them.
Casually anchoring a hand on the hip, Wu Yi Hai mumbled, "The Gu I refined, the time of cultivation and the number of animals I killed during these seven days should be ready to break through"

Impermanence Bone Gu is a consumable Gu, once used, it allows a Gu Master bones to permanently transform into impermanence bones.
Originally only the bones got stronger and in ever rank it needed to be refined and consumed again.
But with Wu Yi Hai's attainment in Transformation Path, he changed the Gu, so it allows the physiques and bones to improve as the Gu Master advances in ranks.
"It's a pity the experience can't be accumulated. Fifteen hours a day cultivating and refining Gu really increased my cultivation" Thought Wu Yi Hai with his lips pressing tight, eyes focusing inwards.
"I can refine some Transformation Path Gu but the cost of feeding them is high"
"I'm a few hours away from the village I should break through to the middle-stages before moving there" Whispered the kid while wetting his lips.
His eyes roamed downwards as his companion entered his vision.
The rabbit fangs and claws were nowhere to be seen as the fluffy white fur replaced the red.

Beasts are powerful animals that inhabit the Gu world. Compared to humans, most beasts have a powerful physique.
The beasts rank just like Gu Masters range from 1 to 9. But they don't have minor realms between ranks.
Instead of using Gu the same way Gu Masters, the more powerful they are, they would attract the more Gu to them to form a symbiotic relationship.
Darkness fell on the forest as the tree's branches hit each other. The moon reflected on the river as howls reverted through the forest.
Inside a massive trunk, a red figure and some insects protected the entrance.
Inside it, a young child was seated in a lotus position.
A spherical space covered in a thin membrane filled with copper-green liquid emerged in his mind.
"Rise" With those simple commands the tranquil sea stirred.
Waves started forming as they developed into tides that crushed into the aperture walls.
The waves crashed and reformed again as the aperture wall was too hard.
This time the waves came together, forming a tornado which crashed against the aperture walls.
Light started radiating from the aperture walls, the white light grew brighter, the light rays distorted and increased non-stop.
After some seconds, the flowing light gathered into one piece and completely covered the light wall.
The light diminished as a harder wall appeared on sight, with water membrane aperture walls, where the light is flowing freely.
"Yes! I finally advanced in rank 1 middle-stage, now the green-copper primeval essence will have a tan of pale green" Exclaimed Wu Yi Hai while looking at the ceiling.
The quality of primeval essence also determines the strength or quality of the effect of the Gu, for example, using middle stage primeval essence creates and strengthens the effects of Cold Blood Gu in contrast to using only initial stage one when injected into the same Gu.
"Who would have thought me, who a month ago walked thought the path on an Immortal would be glad of breaking into the Rank 1 middle stage" Thought Wu Yi Hai with eyes bulging while crossing his arms over the chest.

With a flick of his sleeve, vials of blood where throw in the ground as the mosquitos fought for them.
The Rabbit went directly to Wu Yi Hai to lie between his legs.
A hand appeared, caressing its fur. "Tomorrow morning we'll go to the village" murmured the Gu Master while squeezing his eyes shut.
The trees and bushes paint the landscape with green and brown colours, they let their green heads reach up towards the sky. The beaming ball of yellow gases is obstructed by the exuberant branches and leaves intertwined in mid-air.
Under the surroundings of the trees, many wooden houses shelter from the sun with the shade of the leaves.
It was a town of brown wood with most houses covered in moss. It had a small river in it. Children played in the streets as they chased each other.
"Blood Sense Gu" Images and sounds emerged in his mind as the complete landscape of the village appeared in his head.
"It seems they speak the same language as in my other world. This is a mortal village, no Gu Masters here or anything out of the ordinary. A good place to take a break for a while. So many times being wary and paranoid is really getting into my mind" Wu Yi Hai thought as the images disappeared from his mind while he grabbed a stone from the floor.
A child with brown hair and green eyes surfaced in his view. He was running away from two kids, a boy, and a girl.
"Well, let's begin the show" With those words Wu Yi Hai impacted his head against the rock and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Stop running you cheater!"
My legs moved faster as I looked behind "ha-ha! I'm going to win" There is no way I'll let a girl win, if the other kids find out they'll mock me!
"Wait, stop wha-"
"I will not fell in that one again!" Did she really believe I would fall in the same trap twice? Ha, I'm not stupid.
PA
My head slammed against the ground as my mind started spinning. Oh, she was right, there was really something here.
I stand up as my eyes moved behind me and I saw it.
A child around my age, black hair and blue eyes was in the ground.
But what really called my attention was the blood in its hair.
"Call the village chief there is an injured child here" I heard a shout behind me but my eyes remained fixed on the child's head.
I felt a hand on my shoulders as Uncle Zhao moved my face toward his "Listen to me, bring water and tell the village chief"
My legs wouldn't move as they were shaking, and tears fell off my eyes.
"Hey!" This time my legs moved on their own as I heard the screams behind my back.
"Hurry, Tatsumi!"
