In this paper, we consider the positive solutions of the following weighted integral system involving Wolff potential in $R^{n}$: $$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u(x) = R_1(x)W_{\beta,\gamma}(\frac{v^q}{|y|^{\sigma}})(x), \\ v(x) = R_2(x)W_{\beta,\gamma}(\frac{u^p}{|y|^{\sigma}})(x). (0.1) \end{array} \right.$$ This system is helpful to understand some nonlinear PDEs and other nonlinear problems. Different from the case of $\sigma=0$, it is difficult to handle the properties of the solutions since there is singularity at origin. First, we overcome this difficulty by modifying and refining the new method which was introduced to explore the integrability result establishes by Ma, Chen and Li, and obtain an optimal integrability. Second, we use the method of moving planes to prove the radial symmetry for the positive solutions of (0.1) when $R_{1}(x)\equiv R_{2}(x)\equiv 1$. Based on these results, by intricate analytical techniques, we obtain the estimate of the decay rates of those solutions near infinity.
