Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

"I already let you know I could teleport and you still let your guard down," Jha'Akim said as he twisted his hands and pulled out some of Ning's organ.

Fortunately, he hadn't hit Ning's Sea of Qi, or heart, but he had pierced part of his lung and Ning could no longer breathe through one of the lungs.

"I told you I left a mark on this island, so I can teleport here anytime I want. How are you so stupid as to not realize that?" Jha'Akim started taunting him. "Although, your teleportation does feel different from mine given how often you do it."

"I wonder'¦ do you actually not have the same system as mine?" Jha'Akim asked. "Time to figure it out."

He placed his bloody hands, with Ning's lungs clinging to his claws, on top of Ning's head.

He then closed his eyes and started doing something.

Ning was in his own little world, trying to do something as well. He had recognized the severity of the situation and knew that if he didn't do something fast, he would die right here, and then there would be nothing left that could stop him in this world.

"System, heal me," Ning said through his gasps.

Light shined through his body as his body started restoring itself. The missing lung as well as the other organs reappeared and the torn-up back started to heal.

However, at the last moment, it stopped. A small hole remained in his back that wasn't lethal in any way, but it still worried Ning.

"System? Why is it not fully healed?" he asked.

<Host has run out of energy>

"What?" Ning quickly opened his status and checked, and indeed, he was all out of energy.

Whatever remaining energy he had, he had spent it all just now to heal himself. The expenditure throughout today had been a lot, and before he had even realized it, he had lost it all.

"No!" he thought. This was the worst-case scenario. He remembered what had happened last time he was out of energy, the feeling of helplessness he had experienced when he couldn't save the life of the old man back in Vilmore.

He had tried his best to always have enough energy whenever he did something. That was why he had waited so many days even after having enough energy for his body. That was precisely for this very reason.

And yet, all the preparation didn't save him when the real threat arrived.

'Healing the body of a Spirit Transformation realm cultivator obviously would cost a lot of energy. How could I have been so stupid?' he started scolding himself, but not healing himself would've been even more devastating right now.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds it took for Jha'Akim to realize he couldn't steal Ning's system.

He let go of Ning and flew backward. The tornadoes had stopped by now and the calmness had returned.

Jha'Akim stood in that calmness, but his face was anything but that. Different forms of emotions rushed through him.

Expressions of confusion, anger, and denial were the most prevalent of the many he showed.

"What bullshit is this? Why can't I take your system?" Jha'Akim shouted. He then looked at Ning and saw that he was completely fine as well. "How the hell are you healed?"

He couldn't understand what was happening and that added to his annoyance.

Ning didn't waste any time and attacked once again. He couldn't teleport or use telekinesis anymore, but he was going to attack anyway since that was the only way to keep him here and not let him leave.

If he left and got the power-up he wanted, nothing in this world would be able to stop him.

"Let us fight, master," Blue shouted from inside of his beast space.

"We want to fight," Night shouted as well.

However, Ning didn't pay any heed to their demands. Given how weak they were, they would die in just a few bouts against Jha'Akim.

"Screw this, I will deal with you later," Jha'Akim said and disappeared. He had teleported out of the place.

"System, where did he go?" Ning asked.

<Not enough Energy>

"Dammit!" Ning cried out. "When is the next cap refresh?"

<in 12 Minutes and 53 seconds>

"Shit! What do I do?" Ning wondered. The 3 beasts kept on crying in his ear to let them out to help.

"Do you guys want to die?" Ning shouted at them. "You will only die if you try to fight him."

They stopped speaking after hearing him scold them. "Just sit tight, I will do something," Ning said as he furiously thought of ways to solve the problem.

He had about 12 minutes to collect about 1.2 Billion energy. That would be enough for him to go around the world multiple times, so teleportation wouldn't be a problem.

But with such a small amount of energy, he wouldn't be able to do anything else. He wanted to warn the people but'”

"Wait," he said as he thought of something. "I can send information out, right?"

<To only the three that have the talisman. You have already paid for the talisman, so communication is free>

"Great," Ning thought and sent a message to Hyesi, Anya, and Ely, letting them know of the situation.

"Inikaka, where do you suppose he's going towards?" Hyesi asked him.

"I don't know. All I know is he doesn't know about the beasts in the tomb, that's all," Ning said.

"And you can't leave right now?" Anya asked.

"I can get out of this island if I want, but I won't be able to teleport, so I wouldn't be close to catching up to him even if I wanted to. Especially since he can teleport as well," Ning said.

"So he was the third System user, huh? Who would've thought?" Ely said.

"Seems like it," Ning responded.

"Alright, we'll see what we can do," All 3 of them replied.

"Remember, if you meet him, don't fight. His cultivation base alone is stronger than your body cultivation. Just let me know where he is and disrupt his plans for as long as you can," Ning said.

"Got it."
