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...
Although the Sea Soul Continent is currently transforming into a realm of mid-level and even high-level magic, the extraordinary professions of wizard and warlock are still largely inaccessible to ordinary people.
The former requires innate mental strength and at least two to three times the comprehension of an average person, while the latter requires significant financial investment.
However, since the Sea Soul Continent was assimilated by the Azure Domain, and the "Zun Yuan" system was introduced into it, more and more mortals have found a new path!
As long as one has enough to eat, one can practice martial arts. Lacking resources will only slow down one's progress in the early stages, and the impact before reaching the Innate Realm is not significant.
[The cultivation speed at the Innate Realm and above can differ by more than tenfold depending on whether resources are available, but for those below the Grandmaster Realm, the difference is typically only one or twofold!]
[Unless using exceptionally valuable, high-grade elixirs.]
[Thus, a large number of ordinary people from the Sea Souls began to cultivate martial arts. Among them, the best have surpassed many of the previously high-ranking wizards and sorcerers, and there has even been a super genius who reached the Supreme Realm in just 200 years!]
The Sea Soul Continent is teeming with alien races and various magical creatures, living alongside humans. After you briefly displayed your strength exceeding 200,000 jin, you joined an adventurer's party to hunt down a magical beast called the "Earth King" at a large farm outside the city.
[Warcraft refers to beasts that can use magic.]
[Your team includes two Grandmasters, one Low-Level Wizard, and one Spider-Blooded Sorcerer, all of whom are at the First Realm.]
[Farmer: "Brave adventurers! Those wretched woodworms are destroying my crops and devouring the nutrients from my magical soil. They're yours to deal with!"]
[The Earth King is indeed an insect, its overall shape resembling a skateboard, flat and smooth, with a heavy, brownish-yellow armor covering its back and delicate abdominal legs on its lower body. It typically grows to three to five meters in length and is naturally adept at manipulating soil.]
[A powerful Earth King can even drag its target underground, trapping them there. The surrounding soil will then violently compress and expel the air from their lungs, ultimately suffocating them and turning them into part of the earth.]
Finally, they eat the more nutritious soil. The Earth King generally doesn't eat meat directly; it prefers to let the organisms decompose in the soil before eating it.
[It's obvious that the farm's magical soil attracted the Earth Kings, and not just one, but a whole group.]
[You arrived at the farm and began discussing strategies for finding the Earth King, which is usually hidden dozens of meters underground, and then capturing and eliminating it.]
[Master A: "The Earth Kings are nocturnal; they generally sleep during the day and only become active at night."]
[Grandmaster B: "And even when operating at night, they often hide deep underground!"]
[The sorceress: "My spider-sense can detect their movements even through a hundred meters of soil, through the slightest vibrations in the ground!"]
[Wizard: "But we can't go underground to fight them; that's not our territory. My idea is to prepare some special, nutrient-rich, and delicious soil, then break through the soil and scatter it there, luring them to the surface little by little before dealing with them."]
The last four people looked at you together: "Shouyun, what's your opinion?"
A dry cough is a signal.
[Thirty thousand miles away, Xu Daolin, who was multitasking, immediately shifted his attention to this place and established a mental bridge.]
[You are directly conveying commands through your thoughts.]
"Turn all those prime locations five to ten meters underground, without disturbing the surface, then point out their locations..."
Next, amidst the astonished and bewildered gazes of the four people, you arrive at a seemingly ordinary piece of land.
[A powerful kick came down!]
[Boom!]
This kick exceeded the speed of sound, creating a massive shockwave that sent soil flying everywhere. The wizard, dozens of meters away, didn't react in time and was directly pushed backward and knocked to the ground by the blast!
This was an incredibly terrifying blow. The power of a leg is inherently greater than that of a fist, and this strike exceeded a million pounds. No exaggeration, this kick could even be compared to the power of a god!
"Which deity are you referring to!?"
The ground looked as if it had been exploded, with a huge crater over five meters in diameter. The outer layer rippled outwards, while the crater at its very center reached a depth of nearly one meter!
[This is because your kick didn't land completely; some of the force was forced into the air and exploded outwards.]
After creating that crater, you even fell slightly downwards.
In the distance, the wizard rose from the ground, somewhat alarmed and furious. This low-level wizard had officially entered the first realm; if he were to unleash his full power, even an ordinary master of internal energy would be no match for him.
[The problem is, wizards are quite fragile. An ordinary grandmaster can exert 20,000 to 30,000 jin of strength with just his physical body, but although this wizard's physique is much stronger than that of an ordinary person, his strength is only around 1,500 jin. If he's not careful, he'll be overturned by the aftershock of your sonic boom, losing face greatly.]
[But he wasn't angry. The other three also looked surprised. The power you just displayed seemed a bit too overwhelming; it probably reached the Grandmaster level!]
"Shouyun, what do you mean by this?" the sorcerer asked.
"Because I sensed something..." You calmly shook yourself off the mud and dust clinging to you. "Baal, it's up to you now. There should be a King of the Earth down there."
[Baal, the wizard, cast an earth spell with suspicion, peeling away layer after layer of soil until he discovered broken, yellowish-brown armor fragments.]
[Six meters underground, there was indeed a King of the Earth. Your kick, which transmitted the immense force across six meters of soil, stunned it and even shattered a section of its carapace.]
"Terrifying, terrifying..." the others murmured, not only because of the ferocity of your attack, but also because of your astonishing sensory abilities.
[It seems you possess special warlock bloodline or a sacred body!]
The female sorceress stepped forward shyly, but judging from her appearance of being nearly forty, she behaved with great politeness and gentleness.
[Not only did he push away some of her attempts at intimacy, but he also urged Xu Daolin to quickly drive the other land kings out of the ground as well.]
[Help her distinguish between primary and secondary issues to divert her attention.]
