The White Ape was a generous teacher.
Bi Yuan had already learned how to set basic traps, but now, she was introduced to something better—
Advanced traps.
These traps were far superior. They used bait to lure prey and were cleverly camouflaged to blend into the terrain.
The lesson was not difficult.
Bi Yuan listened carefully, her red eyes focused on every detail as the White Ape demonstrated the process.
She learned how to use vines, how to position traps in the right locations, and how to make them appear natural.
She was grateful.
Every piece of sacred knowledge gifted to her by the White Ape was precious.
But what made her even happier—
Was the martial art the White Ape imparted to her.
“Your Special Class has to wait,” the White Ape told her.
Bi Yuan tilted her head.
“I don’t know how to exactly explain,” the White Ape continued, stroking his chin, “but the internet is kind of… slow.”
Bi Yuan blinked.
She did not understand.
But she didn’t care.
She was already plenty happy with what she had received.
Her new Basic Bunny Combat was simple—so simple that others might dismiss it as weak. But Bi Yuan knew better.
To her, this art was strong.
It would allow her to elevate herself even further.
And so, she practiced.
And as she practiced—
She grew.
[Name: Bi Yuan]
[Level: 7]
Bi Yuan had come a long way.
From Level 0—
To Level 7.
She watched in delight as her level steadily increased, each number a testament to her progress.
Every day, she set up traps throughout Butterberry Forest, using berries as bait and ensuring that each one blended seamlessly into the natural environment.
She ran tirelessly, leaving her snares in favorable locations, where wild chickens were likely to pass.
By afternoon, she would patrol the area, checking her traps.
And sure enough—
A dumb chicken had fallen for one of them.
Bi Yuan’s beady eyes glowed with excitement as she watched the bird flailing helplessly, its legs ensnared by the vines.
“Kyu!”
She ended the creature’s suffering swiftly, driving a sharp twig into its neck.
Her nimble paws wielded the twig with surprising finesse, her movements precise.
+100 EXP
Bi Yuan repeated this every day.
Her skill grew sharper, her traps deadlier, her kills more efficient.
She even prevailed against a fox—one that had nearly killed her!
The fox was larger than the ones she had encountered before.
But size meant nothing—
If one was dumb.
And this fox was very dumb.
It had been caught in her trap twice!
At first, it had struggled free, using its brute strength to break the vines.
But before it could escape—
It stumbled into another trap, just a few steps away.
Bi Yuan almost laughed.
Unlucky for the fox.
Very lucky for her.
This time, she did not need to engage directly.
The fox could not move properly, its legs tangled.
Bi Yuan wielded her sharp twig like a spear, circling the fox cautiously.
Then—
She struck.
Her movements followed the teachings of Basic Bunny Combat, using her legs and nimble footwork to dodge the fox’s desperate attempts to retaliate.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
And then—
With a final thrust—
The fox collapsed.
She had won.
[Spear Mastery: Level 1]
+500 EXP
Bi Yuan trembled with excitement.
Not from fear—
But from joy.
She had leveled up again!
She had reached the peak of what was possible for her current form.
[Name: Bi Yuan]
[Level: 10]
[Vitality: 100%]
[Qi: N/A]
[Stats: See More…]
[EXP: 1000/1000]
PING!
The system’s voice echoed in her mind.
Bi Yuan’s ears twitched.
She had hit her limit.
If she wanted to grow stronger, she needed a breakthrough.
A mixture of happiness and disappointment filled her heart.
She had come so far—
Yet now, she was stuck.
Feeling troubled, she returned to the White Ape’s cave.
She wanted to ask for guidance.
But as she stood before her master, she realized—
She could not talk.
Bi Yuan had never thought about it before.
Among the animals she had encountered, most could communicate emotions easily.
She could do the same with the White Ape—
But this method had its limits.
She could express simple feelings, like hunger, joy, or determination—
But to ask something as complex as her system?
To inquire about breakthroughs and leveling up?
She lacked the words.
She could not speak.
And for the first time—
Bi Yuan felt frustrated.
She needed more.
More than just chirps and growls.
She needed a voice.
As she stared up at the White Ape, her beady red eyes filled with silent questions.
The White Ape looked back—
And froze.
Then, he groaned, covering his face.
"Kyaah... You are so cute, stop staring at me like that!"
Bi Yuan tilted her head.
“Kyah... Cuteness destructive ×100.”
…What?
The White Ape sighed, shaking his head before giving her a gentle pat.
"Just wait, Yuan'er… You need to wait a little more.”
Wait?
She blinked.
“The power-up is on its way.”
Bi Yuan perked up.
"It’s still updating on your system, so please be patient!"
The words resonated within her.
Slowly, she nodded.
She did not fully understand, but she trusted the White Ape.
If he said the power-up was coming—
Then she would wait.
For now.
For the past few days, the White Ape held her close.
His thin, frail arms cradled Bi Yuan, sheltering her small fluffy body with care.
And Bi Yuan loved every second of it.
She basked in his praises.
She melted under his gentle touch.
But most of all—
She absolutely adored the belly rubs.
They were heavenly.
A feeling beyond words, beyond comprehension. If she could, she would spend eternity like this—but she knew better.
Something important was coming.
She could feel it.
And so, together, they waited.
They waited for the Special Class to finally assimilate with her system.
And then—
The long-awaited day arrived.
The White Ape set Bi Yuan down, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
“It’s time, Yuan’er,” he announced, his voice gentle yet firm.
The little bunny’s ears perked up.
And then—
PING!
Unique Class: Paladin. Do you accept?
[Y/N]
Bi Yuan blinked.
The system interface appeared before her, displaying an unfamiliar term:
Paladin.
She tilted her head, her red eyes scanning the description.
A class specialized in the power of Aura and Fortification. Paladins are warriors with strong vitality and impressive strength. They are enforcers of justice, adhering to a divine code of conduct:
- Chastity
- Temperance
- Charity
- Diligence
- Patience
- Kindness
- Humility
Bi Yuan’s nose twitched.
She barely understood some of those words—
But she understood the meaning behind them.
A Paladin was strong.
A Paladin was righteous.
A Paladin was a protector.
Bi Yuan wanted that power.
She sent her intentions to the system.
"Yes."
And then—
A blinding white light enveloped her.
It burned.
She flinched, her small body trembling from the sudden pain.
But the pain did not last.
The burning turned soothing.
A new energy surged through her tiny frame, filling her with renewed vigor.
Something inside her changed—
Her soul expanded.
She had been reborn—
A second time.
[CLASS: Paladin Acquired]
[Level Up! Level 11 (1st Stage—Martial Tempering Realm)]
[Vitality: 100%]
[Qi: 100%]
Bi Yuan felt alive.
Her body, her mind, her very being—
They thrummed with power.
She had entered the Martial Tempering Realm, the first stage of cultivation.
She could now harness Qi—
The first step on the path to immortality.
Bi Yuan let out an excited "Kyu!", hopping around in delight.
The White Ape chuckled.
"This is not where your rewards end," he said, scooping her up with a knowing smile.
Bi Yuan's ears twitched.
More rewards?
The White Ape carried her deeper into the cave.
Here, in the darkest recesses of his abode, lay a hidden trove of treasures.
At first glance, the collection appeared humble—
But Bi Yuan knew better.
Everything here held power.
Every object carried mystery.
And at the center of it all—
A wooden chest, ancient and mystical, pulsed with faint energy.
The White Ape extended a clawed finger, biting down on his thumb.
A single drop of his blood fell onto the chest’s surface—
And then—
SHHHHHHHH…
The chest shuddered, drinking in the blood like a thirsty beast.
A golden light burst forth, illuminating the cave.
From within, weapons floated into the air, their shapes elegant and deadly.
Each one radiated spiritual energy, whispering of great battles fought and greater ones yet to come.
The White Ape gestured.
“Choose.”
Bi Yuan stared, awestruck.
Her heart pounded.
So many weapons—
Yet she knew most were too large for her small body.
Even so, she searched.
There had to be one—
One that was meant for her.
Her gaze moved between the treasures, searching for something special.
And then—
She found it.
At the very back, it rested.
Sleek, silver, and gleaming under the golden glow.
Its shaft was strong.
Its surface was polished.
And at its top—
Three sharp points, like a harpoon.
Bi Yuan’s heart skipped.
She knew.
This was the one.
This weapon—
It had never been used before.
[Weapon Acquired: Fork of Perforation]
Bi Yuan chirped excitedly.
This weapon was Untouched.
A weapon without a previous owner—
A blade that had yet to taste blood.
In human terms, it was akin to chastity—
But for weapons.
Bi Yuan understood the importance of such a thing.
An Untouched weapon held limitless potential.
And now—
This Fork of Perforation belonged to her.
Bi Yuan gripped the shaft with her tiny paws.
Her journey as a Paladin Bunny had only just begun.
