Ryker's True Strength

Ryker descended next to his family. Thankfully aside from Mashia who had her clothes removed, the rest were only exhausted. He used his qi to move the dragon princess, putting her next to the rest while throwing a blanket to cover her body.

  "What do you think you are doing?! Do you know who you messing with?!" the scum leader yelled, something like the rabid dog he is.

."A bunch of trash that's going to die should just be quiet," he coldly said, slowly walking towards him.

  "A brat at the 1st Stage Genesis Foundation realm dared to think himself invisible. Finish him off," the scum leader ordered.

  Two Genesis Foundation realm experts walked towards him, both at the 2nd and 3rd Stages respectively. Frankly speaking, Ryker couldn't care less about their cultivation realm. His lovers were almost violated by the trash so he wished to make them die in the most agonizing way possible.

  The two used their weapon, a spear, and an axe, powerful qi enhancing their strikes. To Ryker, they might have been mere air. He use his qi to neutralize the attack before throwing two Monkey Lord Fist, the two exploding into a mist of blood.

  "Is that what you all can do? Though I'm not surprised, trash is trash," he mocked them, walking towards them.

  Seeing how two of his men were easily killed made the scum leader back away. The scum leader clenched his hand before roaring, "Get him! Whoever killed him for me will get to play with the women first," 

  That seemed to make the hesitant bandits grow excited, roaring in excitement as they charged at him. For Ryker, it makes his blood boil, his rage erupting like a volcano.

  He took out his sword and slashed at the group of men before stopping, watching calmly as the men continued to charge. The group maintained their charge when they stopped, their bodies turned to pieces as he continued his walk.

  The scum leader, looked fearfully before his face turned to a crooked smile. "Hahaha! Looks like my reinforcement is here boy! I hope you ready to beg for death!" he said, Ryker stopped paying attention to him to focus on the coming enemies.

  He counts 9 Genesis Foundation experts along with several small fries. He wondered how a group of bandits could gather such large numbers of strong experts. After all, support from the Uru Family could only get them so far.

  The bandits circled the scum, looking at him cautiously. Frankly speaking, a mere 1st Stage Genesis Foundation would not stand a chance against the group. However, he was not an ordinary expert.

  While Ryker didn't know about it, during the ritual, he could increase his meridian to store ten times the qi when he first cultivated. However, the downside is that when he reached the Source realm, he could only store double what his previous time when he was in the Source Grand realm.

However, this was not what his parents would have wanted so they tweaked the ritual. Instead of ten times the qi size when he was in the Genesis Grand realm, he could only hold quadruple of his original qi reserve. The turnabout is that the quadruple increase followed his cultivation, meaning when he entered the Source Grand realm, his qi reserve would quadruple his previous one.

  Besides, his qi reserves when he started were already abnormal, triple the size of the original person. Combined all the numbers his current qi reserved will always be 12 times the size of the average cultivators with the same realm as he is.

  Not to mention, he has the advantage in Cultivation Art. Contrary to people's thought, Cultivation Art not only determines the speed of one's cultivation but also whether one can break through the next realm and the quality of the qi.

  While any Cultivation Art could help raise a cultivator's realm, the stronger one could help one break through the higher realm more easily as it has the method to break through the next realm. 

  As for the quality of qi, simply put, a higher grade Cultivation Art would allow its practitioner qi grade to be higher compared to one using trash Cultivation Art. The qi grade difference would be similar to comparing dirt to gold. Higher grade qi could easily overwhelm lower grade qi.

  Celestial Energy Art is the best Cultivation Art not because it could refine qi from a different energy, but the qi refined is the highest grade imaginable.

  Combined with his high-grade qi and his reserve, his strength, if fully unleashed could easily defeat peak Genesis Foundation experts. He could even hold his own against up to 2nd Stage Genesis Core experts.

  He usually held back as he believed one didn't need to burn a house to just kill a mosquito. However, currently, he was willing to burn an entire forest down to end a bunch of pests, his rage is too great.

  The Genesis Condensing experts began their charge, their leaders hoping to use them as cannon fodder and absorb some of his attacks. However, a powerful aura seemed to sweep through them, making all of the bandits freeze from qi suppression.

  Ryker casually lifted his sword before swinging it, a powerful sword slash headed towards the bandits. The Genesis Condensing experts in the front were all killed easily, their barriers like paper to such a powerful attack.

  To the horror of the scum leader, the attack didn't slow down, coming towards them like a huge wave.

  "Protect me!" he yelled, grabbing several defensive artifacts, his men doing the same before powering it with their qi. They also used their qi to make some defense, hoping it would be enough to weaken the attack.

  However, their defense crumbled to the powerful attack, their artifacts lasted for several seconds before being destroyed, the qi barrier lasted even shorter. The attack weakened though, so all they suffered were some gashes and cuts.

  The scum leader was the only one not injured, being at the back. He looked at the battlefield, his heart aching to see his subordinates that is not Genesis Foundation experts were all killed.

  He glared at the one to caused it, wanting to capture him alive so he could torture him. He was caught off guard when he looked at them before lifting his sword once again. Shock by the action, he thought, 'His bluffing! There is no way he could do another strong attack!'.

  Unfortunately for the scum leader, it was not a bluff, another sword slash fell towards them. With how they all had used their qi to protect themselves and their defensive artifacts practically gone, they were all killed, their bodies turned to shreds, and the only one alive was the leader.

  Ryker made his way towards him, his sword's tip touching the ground as he gave him a cold gaze. Feeling as if death itself was staring at him, the scum tried to beg for mercy, making promises. However, he was out of one.

  In one second, the last bandit was killed.
