Clark continued on displaying his mirth and he was not the least bit shy about it.
"HAHAHA! There's no need for me to hide like a turtle anymore!"
"Even with a million antagonist and twice the number of arrogant young masters, I will only have to slap them into meat paste and they won't even know what hit them!"
"I want to buy the Mythical Body Chaos Physique, Nancy!" Clark ordered after laughing his ass off with the great news that he had just received.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied and a breath later, Clark felt the vast changes that befell upon his person.
"Congratulations! You have acquired The Mythical Constitution, Chaos Physique! You only have 3,821,379 shop points, host. Please spend them wisely." Nancy notified.
"What a miraculous thing!" our bored gamer could not help but mutter as he stood on the bed with a mask of awe on his face.
For the most insignificant length of time, as little as a half breath, a wondrous vision came surging at his psyche.
He saw the birth of the universe, the ancient prints of creation itself, and lived through the wheel of time.
From past to present, from chaos to order, from nihility to the birth of all things, Clark was a silent spectator to the Almighty hands of the Maker.
"This is so amazing!" Clark blurted out in ecstatic admiration. He could feel the distinct characteristic of the elements that formed this world as a whole.
And more than that, the entire cosmos itself seemed a familiar friend that he could control easily and even devour.
"I could feel so much power in my body."
"How is this huge change even possible?" Clark whispered as he clenched his hands into a fist.
He even had an unbelievable premonition that with just a single punch alone, he could destroy the entirety of this xianxia world.
What kind of strength can a man have in order to possess such a mighty ability as to destroy a world in just one punch? Absolutely inestimable!
"Show me my status, Nancy." Clark murmured as he wanted to look how drastically his power stat has changed after getting this new body from the system shop.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied.
"DING!"

"WOOOAHH! I GOT ONE FUCKING BILLION POWER STAT!"
"THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!" Clark could not believe his eyes and his figure remained frozen still on the bed. His jaw was practically hanging from his face right now.
Upon the tenth breath, our good gamer finally composed himself.
'So a Mythical purchase has the might that is equivalent to a True Immortal already.'
'I wonder if the other Mythical things could also give me the same effect.'
'Would the numbers stack or not? That is a question worth noting before i make another buy.'
'But first...' Clark stopped his inner contemplation at this part.
"Can my Chaos Physique still be upgraded, Nancy?" Our good gamer asked towards the system.
"Negative, host. All Mythical items, techniques, manuals, and other miscellaneous treasures in that class cannot be anymore improved since those have already reached their peak.
Those have reached the apex of what they can become and reinforcing what they are could only lead to some of the most unwanted outcomes."
Nancy replied and there was obvious caution in her voice.
"What about the two aforementioned owners of this same Chaos Physique that i have, Nancy? Did they need to grow from weak to strong or were they also born as powerful as i am today?"
Clark was curious because he realized that this kind of cheat was just too overpowered.
Deep inside him, he was also very happy that not everyone could have a Mythical Body or that would bring enormous trouble for him in the future.
"They needed to climb the ladder of strength and had not been gifted with a max level Mythical Physique upon birth. They underwent countless tribulations before they reached the peak and both are no longer in this Mortal Realm. The two have already ascended unto the Divine Realm." Nancy responded.
'I see. So that's why the increase of my power couldn't have been more astronomical than the present. The system doesn't just sell half made items but those already forged into perfection!'
Clark concluded and an extreme impulse in his gut wanted him to show his satisfaction utterly into the open which he did in the end.
And so our bored gamer laughed his heart out for the second time in this cold morning dawn. After he calmed down, it was time to take the next step.
"Would having two Mythical Physiques double my strength, Nancy?" Clark asked the most important question of all.
If this was possible then he could infinitely grow in strength by purchasing all the Physique Scriptures in the system shop.
"Negative, host. Although you can purchase other physiques but you can only ever use one active physical boost and its characteristics at any given time.
This also applies to your armors and weapons. Same with any cultivation manuals and secret techniques you may use in the future." Nancy answered.
'DAMN! That would have been my Holy Grail right there!' Clark took a deep breath but the disappointment he felt was rather fleeting in scale.
After all, he already stood in the pinnacle of power in this xianxia world. The apex predator. The one standing on top of the food chain!
"I want to search for armor, weapons, and a cultivation manual, Nancy. I want only to pick from Mythical Tiers and not one lower." Clark instructed thereafter.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy complied. Almost an hour later of careful selection, Clark finally decided on what he wanted to have.
"Give me this weapon, Nancy."
"Affirmative, host."
"I want this armor!"
"Affirmative, host."
"And i want this cultivation manual!"
"Affirmative, host."
"Give me a status check, Nancy." When all was said and done, our good gamer asked to see his character sheet once more.
From his usual getup of a pristine cultivator's robe, Clark was now cased in full metallic armors from head to toe.
He had his weapon of choice easily on one hand and the complex stances were etched in his mind that was a result of the Mythical Art he bought to better wield this weapon as his own.
"Affirmative, host."
"DING!"

"Hmmm... I look pretty cool right now! Even cooler than the anime mcs i've seen in my life!" Clark commented after he floated to a nearby mirror to take stock of his appearance.
He was coated by an unknown metal and its pitch-black sheen looked so ominous in the darkened room.
"It would be better if i could look like this all the time but since this is a xianxia world then i need to at least conform to its tradition."
Clark nodded and with a single thought, the armors melted into an elegant cultivator's robe.
He retained its original colors but the same could not be said to the effect it held to anyone who could witness such perfect craftsmanship upon the body of a mortal.
This was the natural allure of a perfect item, hypnotic and breathtaking. One look alone and it would invite the greed of men and beast alike.
"I better turn off this effect though. No sense in inviting more ants to kill." Clark decided and after a few seconds, the clothes that he wore turned into the mundane once more.
"Now let's try cultivating with this current body." Clark smiled and was very eager to jump into the bed.
He deposited his weapon into his inventory and sat in a lotus position on the soft surface of his sanctuary.
"If i remember correctly, all i had to do was take a deep breath in and circulate the spiritual essences of the world into my body." Our bored gamer did just that.
"Ahhhhhhhh..." And with one deep breath, he started his first time cultivating using his freshly upgraded physical qualities.
Alas, he just did not expect that something like the one that happened next would be a likely result for his eager endeavour.
"BANG!" a roof caved in that painted a familiar scene towards our good gamer. This was exactly how he was taken from his real world. But this time, truck-kun did not appear like before.
Debris scattered all over the place instead and when Clark opened his eyes once again, he was now looking at the beautiful start of a new morn.
"BOOM!" Up above, the last tendrils of the Spirit Gathering Array crumbled into the ground to form a rain of different hues and energies.
"You have successfully cultivated, host has gained 1,025,197 xp!" a system notification rang in Clark's ears at this time.
"Indeed, I may have cultivated far more successfully this time around."
