In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
[Now Xu Ling has ample time for seclusion and can come to see you again every seven days, because you don't need to comprehend the system or condense Dao Seals every day; you just need to max out the level of the "Extreme Martial System."]
Currently, you're cultivating the "Extreme Martial Arts System" while Xu Daolin, who has advanced to the Supreme Realm, takes you on adventures everywhere.
Similarly, you don't need to comprehend any "Path of the True King." Your daily opportunities to descend are well-preserved, and you've accumulated three. You can destroy this life at any time in the future and then transfer that sixth-realm cultivation to yourself.
[Returning to one's true form is a complete return to a previous state. If one were to unleash high combat power in the future at a cost, then if one wishes to return to that state, the cost must also be inherited.]
[But the descent is like drawing power from nowhere; you can stack it three times in a row!]
[Since you are currently a mortal, your first descent is a display of the power of a first level of heaven, achieved after you have sacrificed your previous life.]
At this moment, your strength is equivalent to "a 500,000-pound punching powerhouse" plus "12.5 million thorns."
[Then you can use this as a basis to continue sacrificing this lifetime and bring down this "25 million" thorns once more!]
In reality, if you were to descend twice, you would possess the power of "500,000 jin + 37.5 million thorns".
[And so on, after three consecutive descents, your strength will be seven times that of your first level of cultivation!]
[(Adding the strength of 500,000 jin)]
Yun Shou: "..."
["Although after condensing the Dao Seal at the sixth realm, one's combat power is already constant and cannot be unleashed by burning one's origin, using Descent once can only double one's strength, not quadruple it by burning one's origin..."]
"But my three consecutive folds made up for that!"
"If I multiply my power from the first level of Heaven sevenfold, even the weakest level of Heaven, the eighth level, is no match for me!"
"From now on, if the number of times it descends is four, that's 16 times (its strength is too weak during the rebuilding phase, so we'll count it as 15 times). If the number of times it descends is five, that's 32 times..."
"His comprehension has also reached eight times?"
"An hour-long session, eight times the comprehension?"
[...]
[Skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes—this is the minor realm subdivided within the Zero Realm of the Extreme Martial Arts System.]
[A very classic system.]
[Refining the skin makes it tougher, like cowhide, providing cushioning. Pebbles thrown by children won't hurt or itch; at a high level, even a knife will have difficulty cutting the skin.]
This level is weak; at least, it doesn't significantly improve one's strength. It's not even comparable to the difference between an ordinary person and a "third-rate martial artist" in the Yunyang Realm.
Even at its peak, Skin Refinement couldn't withstand a two-way battle against two versions of himself without Skin Refinement.
[With the resources and supplies provided by Beichenguang, including some high-quality abrasive stones and top-grade topical medications, you completed this step in just three days.]
Then comes "refined flesh," which sounds strange, but it is indeed the name of this minor realm.
Make your muscles more defined and stronger!
[In this step, a martial artist's strength will increase from a normal person's several hundred jin to two or three thousand jin, making their destructive power comparable to a first-rate martial artist!]
[And the excellent body you modified during your rebuilding already had an initial strength of a thousand jin. Once you complete the "Flesh Refinement" stage of cultivation, it will likely reach ten thousand jin!]
Because... don't forget, there's also the element of "qualifications."
Most ordinary people in the Yunyang Realm live in areas with scarce spiritual energy, and their martial arts aptitude has not reached its limit. They must undergo the Heavenly Origin Cleansing to achieve perfection.
[Back then, Bei Chenguang's talent was ten times the upper limit of ordinary people. A first-rate martial artist was comparable to a powerful martial artist, because a normal martial artist's talent is less than twice that of ordinary people.]
Therefore, the figure of two to three thousand jin of strength during the lean meat stage is calculated based on an average person with one to two times the aptitude, not the upper limit!
"Wow, this is unusually weak! I'm going to go fight monsters!"
You speak to Xu Daolin: "Little Xu, where are we now?"
Xu Daolin was multitasking: digesting the medicinal effects within his body, using the Golden Spirit Computer, and simultaneously keeping an eye on taking your "Human King's Palace," which was over two hundred miles long and wide, through the air to new places to sample local delicacies and... well, you know.
Upon hearing your question, he glanced at the location displayed on Jinling's computer: "Uncle Yun, we are currently located in the Grank Domain of the Sea Soul Continent."
"Let's go down there," you say, rubbing your hands together eagerly. "I want to experience the life of the lowest rungs in the wizarding world."
Yun Shou: "..."
What should this be called again?
I conquered everything in the Western Fantasy Continent with unparalleled martial arts.
Rimbaud.
The quaint Western-style streets are filled with a unique, exotic charm.
[Furthermore, unlike some places in the ancient West of my previous life, there weren't historical records scattered on the streets, which meant I had to wear high heels to minimize contact with the defense.]
[On the side of the street, blond-haired children played, while a red-haired boy practiced with a two-handed greatsword, only to be chased and beaten by the city's guards for breaking some paving stones.]
Before arriving in the Azure Domain, wizards and sorcerers on the Sea Soul Continent were mostly reclusive figures in most areas. Ordinary people only knew that some powerful individuals existed in this world, but had very little actual contact with them.
"Low magic."
Yun Shou recalled two classifications of the extraordinary nature of fictional worlds that he had seen before.
"Devil" and "Martial Arts".
"Magic" refers to the prevalence of supernatural beings. A low-magic world means that supernatural beings exist in the shadows of the world, and ordinary people can only understand them partially through urban legends. In contrast, a high-magic world means that anyone on the street knows that supernatural powers exist, and everyone can actively approach and even obtain such powers.
"It's not particularly difficult to come into contact with martial arts in the Yunyang Realm, but most people don't have the ability to practice martial arts; you could say they're under a spell."
"But Qingyu can barely be called a high-level magic area because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant and the resources are plentiful, so it is difficult to go hungry. As long as you are willing to practice martial arts, you can basically become a second-rate or first-rate martial artist."
"Martial prowess" refers to the upper limit of extraordinary combat power. According to Yun Shou's understanding, anyone who can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers by ordinary people is considered to have low martial prowess. Mid-level martial prowess, on the other hand, is the ability to change the landscape and redraw the map by one's own strength.
As for high-level martial arts, his view is that it can completely destroy an ecosystem, such as destroying a planet or collapsing a plane.
As for those who traverse galaxies and create and destroy universes, he felt that they could also be called high-level martial arts. Compared to shattering planets, one is the lower limit of high-level martial arts, and the other is the upper limit.
He calls those with power exceeding that of a universe "super weapons".
