The world of Ascension had been built in a way that a level 1 player could kill a level 50 or even a level 100 enemy. That, however, was not an easy task to accomplish in fact, there was roughly a 0.00001% chance of it happening, but it was better than nothing. The more unwary you were, the less of a problem to your enemies your high level was - they would kill you despite you being ten times stronger. Two weeks felt like a day with all this fuss about the game. The game that became the most debated topic on the internet even before its release.

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad

A Certain Goddess's Pov

"Fufufu" 

"Looks like you've grown a lot stronger again my little bell"

"I am curious though how did you get strong that fast?"

"I could pluck you up and make you mine right now, but I want to see how much you could grow without the blessing of us gods"

"But first a reward for your growth"

I walk across my room which is situated upon the very top of the Tower of Babel.
And picked a book amongst my bookshelf.

"Ah this one should do"

Bell's Pov

Huh was I being watched? Thanks to my high Perception stat I can pinpoint its location.

Which is the top of the Tower of Babel. A tower used to seal off the Dungeon from the rest of the world.

Who would want to spy on me though? Whatever I should have passed the 10 km mark right?

[Daily Quest is now available.]

Yale's eyes shot right open.

He quickly raised himself up and the first thing he did was to check the time. The needles of the clock just went past 16:30.

Meaning, there was seven hours and thirty minutes before midnight.

'Good.'

Yale opened the mailbox.

Tti-ring.

[Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong]

"It's the same thing, again?!"

He groaned out almost reflexively.

No, perhaps this was for the better. Rather than a quest with impossible or hard-to-understand goals, this was far more preferable, instead.

Well, as long as he had enough time, he'd be able to complete this quest after all, although his body might suffer for a bit. Yale got down to the floor this time and began the press-up.

"One."

Obviously, he was not planning on being dragged to yet another suspicious place and get almost killed there.

"Two."

He got lucky the previous night and survived, but there was no guarantee that would happen tonight as well.

"Three."

He raised his head a little and confirmed the contents of the quest, and noticed that every time he performed a press-up, it was being recorded in real time as well.

Tti-ring.

[You've completed one press-up.]

[Press-up 100 times: Incomplete (7/100)]

Tti-ring.

[You've completed one press-up.]

[Press-up 100 times: Incomplete (8/100)]

He wanted to make sure, so he only went down half-way and got back up, but as expected, that didn't count. Now he finally realised why the so-called press-ups of yesterday didn't count. He had to perform the proper press-ups or it wouldn't be counted at all.

'Huh.... Gimme a break.'

Yale was dumbfounded, but didn't stop the exercise.

He still had 50 more press-ups to go.

After that, sit-ups, squats and running were waiting for him.

….And, three hours later.

Press-up, 100 times: Complete (100/100)

Sit-up, 100 times: Complete (100/100)

Squat, 100 times: Complete (100/100)

Running, 10 km: Incomplete (9/10)

Yale lapped the outer perimeter of the hospital once and arrived back in front of his room. He was currently bent over and panting out heavily. His heart felt like it might explode at any second, but he couldn't give up yet.

'I worked so crazy hard until now, so no way I would....'

He somehow managed to open the door and took a step forward.

When he did that....

Tti-ring.

[Total distance ran: 10 km.]

[You've completed Running, 10 km.]

It was finally over.

Yale fell down to his knees. His breath reeked of something sweet and bitter. His face and back were soaked in sweat.


As Yale tried to regulate his heavy, rough breathing while thick sweat drops continuously dripped down, a familiar message popped up in front of his eyes.

Tti-ring.

[You've completed 'Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong'.]

[Completion rewards have arrived.]

[Would you like to confirm?] (Y/N)

Yale momentarily thought about forgetting about everything and simply laying down in defeat, but quickly changed his mind. At least for now, he wanted to confirm what these reward things could actually be with his own eyes first.

"Confirm."

Tti-ring.

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward 1. Full recovery of the current physical condition

Reward 2. Three additional Stat points

Reward 3. One random box

[Would you like to collect them all?]

'Why are there so many of them?'

That was the first thought to enter his dazed mind after he took a gander at the contents of his rewards.

But, when he thought about it a little deeper, one of those rewards seemed rather useful right now, and there was also one that made him curious about what it could actually mean.

For now, he urgently needed the first reward available. He was on the brink of collapsing here.

Since there really was a penalty for failure, the odds of completion rewards being real were pretty d*mn high as well.

As soon as he muttered that out, a gentle blue aura enveloped him.

'Uh... this sensation....?'

If he were to put this feeling into words, then it'd be like a refreshing blast of air entering his lungs before leaving again – something like that?

He felt the blue aura slowly dissipating. For some reason.

Yale got up from the floor and lightly jumped up and down on the spot and stretched his body this way and that.

"How can this be?!"

His heart that felt like it might explode was beating calmly now, and his rough breathing had stabilised as well. He didn't even feel a speck of fatigue. His body that was on the brink of collapsing, felt refreshed as if he just got up from a night of good rest.

The effect, in other words, was top-notch.


Yale's eyes now resembled circles. He wasn't sure whether this was some kind of magic or not, but this phenomenon could change him in the most astonishing way, without a doubt.

In that case, would those 'Stat points' be the same?

When Yale shifted his gaze around, he spotted a small box resting on top of the bed as well as his own Stat Window floating in the air.

'I guess that thing over there is the random box....'

The important thing was his Stat Window, though. This window displayed simple information about himself.

The Tang Clan's Heaven Fate Ship was indeed extraordinary!
There were only six people in Jiang Yi's group—including the children, but they stayed in super-luxury big cabin. There were over a dozen rooms inside, with separate bathrooms, cultivation rooms, and studies. The entire cabin was covered by white carpet. The furnishings were very opulent as well. There was no tremor in the Heaven Fate Ship. It was as comfortable as a castle.
The extraordinary things about the Heaven Fate Ship were not limited to this. A housekeeper introduced to them that there was a separate restaurant in the ship, serving tens of thousands of different kinds of delicacies and drinks. There was also a casino and a brothel. One wouldn't get bored for years on this ship.
What intrigued Jiang Yi was a special cultivation room on the Heaven Fate Ship, which sped up the cultivation by five, ten, even… one hundred times!
Jiang Yi was completely shocked at this news. The speed of cultivation was increased by 10 times on the Gods Bestow Island because of a magical Nine Dragons God Extinguishing Array in the Gods Bestow Tribe. The Gods Bestow Island became a sacred place in the Gods Bestow Tribe for this. Countless people went to the Gods Bestow Island even though they were aware of the great risk. In the end, they either became bandits or were killed by bandits.
Now, a person told him that there was a Technique Practicing Room on the Heaven Fate Ship which rose the speed of cultivation by 100 times. This was on top of the effect of the Destitute Dragon Grass which already hastened the cultivation process by ten times. This meant that he was able to cultivate 1,000 times faster. If he could take out the Thearch Palace and cultivate there, his speed would be 10,000 times faster! 
Of course, it was not realistic. The Technique Practicing Room was not big enough, and it was highly likely the speed wasn't multiplied in the way he thought.
"Does the Technique Practicing Room really fasten the cultivation by 100 times?" After the housekeeper left, Jiang Yi still didn't believe him and asked Tantai Shi. 
Tantai Shi nodded and said, "It's very normal. The Tang Clan is the uncontroversial no.1 in artifact refinement. This is their clan's top-level Heaven Fate Ship so it's common for it to be equipped with powerful spirit concentration array. If my Lord has the chance to stay in the main city, you will find that the Tang Clan has the top-level secret cultivation rooms, where the essence energy is 1,000 times greater than that of the outside! If you have special elixirs, the cultivation rate may be raised by several thousand, or even tens of thousand times!"
Ss, ss… 
Jiang Yi gave a gasp of horror. How amazing the 10,000-time cultivation speed would be! No wonder people on the East Imperial Continent never refined celestial stones. The 10,000-time cultivation speed was much faster than refining celestial stones.
"Ke-Ke!"
Tantai Shi smiled lightly and explained. "Normal people definitely can't afford that kind of secret cultivation rooms. I heard that one day will cost about one billion celestial stones. Even the secret cultivation rooms on the Heaven Fate Ship which raise the speed by several hundred times cost at least 100 million celestial stones a day."
"What?"
Jiang Yi shrank his eyes. Was the Tang Clan robbing celestial stones?
One billion a day, then it would be 30 billion for a month and over 300 billion for one year! In the auction in the God Bestow City, the top class chariot which was ridden by the Blood Emperor was only sold for 100 billion. Were people on the East Imperial Continent really this rich? 
However, Jiang Yi was relieved when he thought about it from another perspective. It cost 100 thousand for single teleportation in the city. It would probably cost a fortune to buy a house here. All the shops had to pay taxes. The number of celestial stones that the rulers on this continent made was enormous, let alone the Nine Thearch Clans. They dominated the continent for 700 thousand years, owned four regions and millions of cities. Their daily income was astronomical. 
Tantai Shi explained, "My Lord, the essence force realm is no big deal to the clansmen of the great clans on the continent. As long as they can improve their dao pattern realm, their clans will immediately spend an exorbitant amount of celestial stones helping their essence force realm to keep up. For example, the Young Master of the Jian Clan, who is only 13 years ago, rose his dao pattern to mid-tier Heaven Monarch in the past three years. The Jian Clan threw in a huge amount of celestial stones right away to let him cultivate in secret cultivation room that speeds up the cultivation by 1,000 times and gave him soul elixirs as well. His essence force ascended to the mid-tier Heaven Monarch in only half a year. This thing causes a huge commotion on the East Imperial Continent."
"Jian Clan Young Master?"
A boy in yellow embroidered robe with white Soul-Hooking Flute appeared in Jiang Yi's mind. He asked in a frown, "Is he called Jian Wuying?"
"My Lord has heard of him, too."
Tantai Shi nodded and said, "Young Master Wuying is a rare talent on the East Imperial Continent. My father-in-law said that if Young Master Wuying can grow up healthily, he will become the next generation King Jian and Sword Thearch!" 
"King Jian?"
Jiang Yi heard of Sword Thearch before, but not King Jian. Tantai Shi smiled gently and said, "King Jian is the Family Head of the Jian Clan. All the Family Heads of the Nine Thearch Clans will be named as King, the Clan Heads as Emperors!"
"En, en."
Jiang Yi contemplated for a while before ordering. "You stay here and are not allowed to leave the cabin. Otherwise, I won't be responsible for anything that happens to you outside! I will cultivate in the cultivation array for a few months and will be out when it's time."
It took over three months to get to the Heaven State Region; Jiang Yi was not going to just wait idly like this. There were 100-fold secret cultivation rooms on the ship. Even though the price was absurd, which cost about three billion celestial stone one month; still, Jiang Yi decided to try it first. He would find some alternatives when he ran out of the celestial stones. Strength was the most fundamental thing.
"Does My Lord still need to cultivate?" Tantai Shi was slightly surprised. When she saw the chill light flickering across Jiang Yi's eyes, she quickly lowered her head in shame. "I was intrusive; please punish me."
"Punish… begging to get whipped? Such a slut!"
Jiang Yi sneered in secret, turned off the cabin restrictions, and walked out. He waved to a guard, found out that the secret cultivation room was in the no.3 cabin, and walked towards there. 
Swish!
The Heaven Fate Ship flew rapidly in the sky. It was extremely fast. Mountains below kept falling back. Jiang Yi took a few glances and was relieved to see that it was completely safe in the Heaven Fate Ship, even at night. It was said that even an ordinary Demigod martial artist would find it difficult to break the shield around the Heaven Fate Ship. A little swirl of wind wouldn't constitute a problem. 
Outside the no.3 cabin, a housekeeper asked Jiang Yi politely, "Is My Lord going to cultivate? We have five-fold, ten-fold, 50-fold, and 100-fold secret cultivation rooms—that come at different prices. Which ones does My Lord need?"
"The 100-fold one." 
The housekeeper's smile became more brilliant. He nodded and said, "The 100-fold secret cultivation room costs 100 million celestial stones a day. How many days does My Lord want to book?"
"A month!"
Jiang Yi took out three billion celestial stones and handed to the housekeeper, who quickly showed him the way to the cabin. It was a much larger cabin, with hundreds of rooms. The housekeeper pointed to a room and said, "Please, My Lord, I'll remind you in a month."
Jiang Yi nodded indifferently and entered the room. As expected, the room was not big enough for the Thearch Palace.
There was a luminous pearl inside that shimmered with gentle light. Jiang Yi turned on the restrictions and sat cross-legged in the room. After a while, the wall suddenly lit up before extremely strong heaven and earth essence energy gathering towards the room. Jiang Yi nodded in secret. It was indeed 100 times stronger than the heaven and earth essence energy outside.
After cultivating for a while, Jiang Yi felt his essence force surging to the star spheres in his dantian like seawater. If he could go to the 1000-fold secret cultivation room in the main city and stayed there for a few years, probably all his nine star spheres would mutate! 


From a young age, Jiang Yi suffers humiliation and bullying due to his sealed dantian.
One day, he wakes up to find his seal broken, allowing him to gain incredible powers. With his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Flames, he embarks on a heaven-defying journey.
All territories are mine, all cultivation techniques are mine, same for all treasures.

If humanity treats me unfairly, a million corpses shall lay!
If the heavens treats me unfairly, the heavens shall burn!

The realm of systems and the taskers. A place where reality and unreality coexists together. The main system governs the normal reincarnation and the wishing well along the systems, some created normally and some turned from taskers into systems.
Each system assists a tasker to complete required wishes of 10 task giver in their respective worlds in order to qualify for a judgement before entering reincarnation, with no memories of past, or apply to return to their original world with a new identity of limited time span as vacations. Those who don't become taskers, of course, enter the reincarnation cycle instantly or become a ghost (or whatever) depending on the rules of the world they are in.
With a vast universal system store, taskers would be able to equip themselves better for their next task or enjoy luxuries of various kind, given they have enough points to trade for the items. Overtime, some taskers stay and continue to complete tasks, some enter reincarnation and some spend their long saved vacations at their original world or any world they have come to like.
Top 100 taskers are displayed all the time on a big electronic list hanging outside the task hall, where taskers receive tasks with difficulty A onwards. Top 10 taskers receive vacation time 10 times of that spent in task worlds, top 20 receive 7 times, top 40 - 5 times, top 80 - 3 times, top 100 - 2 times. Taskers out of the list receive normal vacation time.
The time flow of the task worlds is calculated according to their original world's and then the ranking bonus is applied. If taskers wish to spend their holiday in some other world than their own, they have to apply 1 month prior for it.

President Su never faced any trouble except the oncoming blind dates arranged by his dear mother and his nephew whom he has to teach. That was all until he encountered a man.

That night:
President Su (Asleep): Zzz~
.
.
President Su (When Awake): Never knew I was still a bodyguard for someone else. Tsk.

Next day:
Assistant Xiao: President Su, there's a meeting... what are you doing??
President Su: *sharpening cutlery knife unconsciously* Preparing
Assistant Xiao: …

A week later, President Su realised... he was required to save the man he encountered. Now the question is - is he the same man he dreamed of or not??

The five-color plum blossoms outside the windows were fully open. Twitters could be heard every once a while. Two black invitation cards from top sects in Taixia Country were placed tidily on the crimson table beside a window which was made of pagoda wood. Additionally, Zhang Tie was fiddling with one by hand. 
"No more look, according to the tradition of Hua people, iron is a vicious metal. Therefore, black invitation cards from top sects are made of iron. Despite its ordinary material, its meaning is unusual. Across the country, only the top six sects were qualified to deliver black invitation cards by far..."
Since the event of Gold and Power Law, even Yan Feiqing had not regarded it as a top sect in Taixia Country, not to mention that Gold and Power Law had been denied by the top six sects as a sect. 
In the attic, Yan Feiqing was introducing the background of black invitation card in an unprecedented, intense tone as she gently stroked her lower abdomen.
"Black invitation card is a pattern of war declaration for the top six sects, which targets at a sect or clan in Taixia Country. As long as the top six sects send black invitation cards, the receiver only has two choices, either to surrender or to fight!" 
"Fight?" Zhang Tie moved his eyes away from the black invitation card as he fixated on Yan Feiqing with a frown, "You mean both parties would mobilize all of their members for a duel like how gangs do in downtown?'
"Of course not. It's unnecessary for knights to do that. Actually, the black invitation card is the product of the compromise between the powers of top sects and royal households of Taixia Country. The top six sects need to shape their prestige; however, they should not influence the power of Xuanyuan Hill. The top six sects could show off their forces on the premise that large-scale battles by force between sects were forbidden; otherwise, the stability of civilians and local regions would be weakened together with the power of the royal households. The combat after black invitation card refers to the duel between powers among sects at fixed time and place by force. The combat would not come to an end until nobody in a party could continue to fight the opponent. After receiving the black invitation cards, we have 100 days for preparation..."
"They're really considerate..." Zhang Tie mocked. As for the top six sects which owned sage-level knights, their black invitation cards were purely overwhelming for the receivers. Even knights couldn't make essential progress in 100 days even if they could cultivate in the tower of time. After the sect receives the black invitation card, they could only prepare for their funeral ceremony or stay in panic, "Did the top six sects send black invitation cards before?"
"In past hundreds of years, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had sent black invitation card for six times; Heavens Holding Pavilion 4 times; Qionglou 2 times; 12 times in total..."
"What are the results?"
"Most of the sects or clans who received black invitation cards have dissipated. Some of them became the branches of top sects! The situation facing us has not happened before!"
"Haha, I feel lucky. One-fifth of the 15 black invitation cards that top three sects sent over the past hundreds of years are here..." Zhang Tie smiled as he threw the black invitation card onto the table casually, saying, "We'd better keep the three black invitation cards well. In the future, we could display them in Iron-Dragon Sect, telling our disciples how Iron-Dragon Sect develops..."
"Don't you worry about that?"
"As you said, it's just a duel between powers. I don't worry about that as long as they don't come for me together!"
Yan Feiqing gritted her teeth in a speechless way as she said, "But you have to face three sage-level knights. It would take me many years to promote to a semi sage-level knight; not to mention promote to a sage-level knight. Across Taixia Country, there're very few sage-level knights. Don't you worry about facing three sage-level knights? You know that there're still two levels between a heavenly knight and a sage-level knight."
"Worry, so what?" Zhang Tie shrugged as he continued, "Do you think it's time for me to surrender to the top three sects?"
After glaring at Zhang Tie, Yan Feiqing said with a bad mood, "There's still time. As long as you admit your fault in front of the three sects on the Yinhai, Gobi Desert under the gaze of all the others and meet all of their requests 100 days later, we would be forgiven!"
Zhang Tie became stunned as he watched Yan Feiqing for a while. Finally, he rubbed his face in an embarrassed way, saying, "Erm...I'm afraid that the baby in your womb might not think so even if I admit fault. Do you want our baby to know that his dad is a douchebag? Additionally, as long as we admit fault, Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace would dissipate or become subordinate to the top three sects. That's absolutely unacceptable!"
Yan Feiqing turned kind as once as she heaved a sigh, saying, "If so, you should prepare to deal with the three sage-level knights; you know, sage-level knights are a top power in this age. In such a combat, the three sage-level knights would never show mercy to you. This combat is absolutely different than the compromise that you've made with Yun Zhongzi in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect!"
Zhang Tie watched Yan Feiqing amazingly as he had not imagined that Yan Feiqing had seen through what Yun Zhongzi and he had done in the Dongtian. 
"Don't look at me in that way. As we've lived in the tower of time for six decades and I've got pregnant, do you think that I couldn't find any bit of your secret?" Yan Feiqing let out a sigh as she continued, "I don't know how Yun Zhongzi and you compromise with each other, but I'm sure that you've not experienced the real power of a sage-level knight in the realm of Yun Zhongzi. You're just a shadow knight, even though you're also a divine dominator, you still have a very low chance to win against more than one sage-level knight..."
　　


After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.
In the Age of Black Iron, steel, iron, steam engines and fighting force became the crux in which human beings depended on to survive.
A commoner boy by the name Zhang Tie was selected by the gods of fortune and was gifted a small tree which could constantly produce various marvelous fruits. At the same time, Zhang Tie was thrown into the flames of war, a three-hundred-year war between humans and demons on the vacant continent. Using crystals to tap into the potentials of the human body, one must cultivate to become stronger.

No one had a clue about what was going on, and they were all dumbfounded.
Even after five experts from the List of Top 100 Talents were eliminated, there was still someone on the eighth level!
How could someone's talent and combat strength surpass those of the five geniuses of the List of Top 100 Talents?
Everyone stared intently at the eighth level of the tower to see what kind of god would walk out.
Su Mo stood in the arena of the eighth level in front of 128 glowing human figures. They were all at the Peak Lv 4 True Spirit Realm, which was two whole levels above his cultivation.
Su Mo was smiling. Beating the eighth level was a piece of cake for him now.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As soon as the 128 glowing human figures formed, they all shot into the sky, and their swords shot out over 100 beams of sword radiance that merged into a storm of sword Qi that rumbled toward Su Mo.
"Destroy!" Su Mu lightly shouted.
He released his Devouring Martial Spirit, and a strong devouring power instantly enveloped the surroundings.
After the devouring power was released, all the glowing human figures and their attacks suddenly stopped in mid-air and began trembling like terrified mice staring down a cat.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After Su Mo attacked with his sword radiance and sword Qi, all the glowing human figures crumbled to pieces.
The entire process was completely effortless for Su Mo.
"I wonder what the reward will be this time?" 
Su Mo was excited as another white jade box flew into his hands.
However, this box was a dozen times larger than the one from before and it was about the size of a jug.
"What's inside?" 
Su Mo was confused. The more levels he passed, the more valuable his rewards became.
The Triple Breathing Techniques awarded after the seventh level seemed to be a secret skill that was not very helpful to his combat strength, but it was definitely much more valuable than any Medium Lv 3 Martial Skill.
Secret skills were worth way more than regular cultivation skills and martial arts techniques.
Su Mo opened the giant box and was stunned by what it contained.
"A beast egg!" 
Su Mo stared speechlessly at the giant white egg that was as large as a cow's head.
Since it was the prize of the eighth level, it had to be the egg of some kind of powerful demonic beast.
However, what disappointed Su Mo was that the egg was dead!
The Ethereal Territory had existed since post-archean times, so even the eggs of the strongest demonic beast could not survive this long!
Su Mo shook his head dejectedly. His reward for this level was a useless rotting egg.
He still decided to take the egg with him as he was unwilling to throw away the prize he had worked so hard for.
After a while, Su Mo's figure disappeared from the eighth level and entered the ninth.
In the square outside the large tower, everyone waited for the mysterious and powerful expert who broke into the eighth level to reveal himself.
The Five geniuses of the Top 100 Talents were also waiting. They wanted to see who could be more powerful than the top experts in Hong Domain, South of Yan River.
"Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"
"How has he been able to survive on the eighth level for this long?"
"He has to fight 128 glowing human figures whose abilities are equivalent to martial artists two cultivation levels above him. He won't last long!"
"That's not true. Since he can make it to the eighth level, he must be a supernatural genius. Who knows how long he'll last?"
The square was filled with loud chatter. Everyone was anxious to see who was fighting on the eighth level!
They were all discussing how long Su Mo would last on the eighth level, but no one considered that he could pass it entirely.
Suddenly, the eighth level finally dimmed and this caught everyone's attention.
"Haha! He's out!"
"Haha! I want to see what kind of genius he is!"
Everyone began laughing, but their smiles soon froze.
Unexpectedly, after the eighth level dimmed, the ninth and last level suddenly emitted a burst of light.
That meant whoever was inside had passed the eighth level and entered the ninth.
"What?"
"He has entered the ninth level! How could this be?"
"Even Feng Xiu failed on the eighth level, but this person made it!"
The crowd erupted in shouts of disbelief.
Even the five geniuses of the Top 100 Talents, who were sitting cross-legged and healing their wounds, stood up in shock.
"Who in the world could make it to the ninth level?" Xin Wuming roared with a gloomy expression.
He was insanely jealous. The ninth level probably contained the most precious treasure in the entire Ethereal Territory!
The other four geniuses were also racking their brains.
The ninth level was still a vast white space.
After Su Mo entered, endless white light collected into 256 glowing human figures, all at the Early Lv 5 True Spirit Realm, whose cultivations were three levels higher than Su Mo's.
"Lv 5 True Spirit Realm?" Su Mo smiled and said calmly. "Even so, it's nothing to me!"
Su Mo was extremely confident. If he did not use his Devouring Martial Spirit, he would not be able to beat this level. However, with his Martial Soul, he would have no trouble beating even 1000 figures.
Swish!
Su Mo attacked first, swiftly releasing and activating his Martial Soul.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
His Spirit-slayer Sword swung crazily toward the glowing figures, sending endless sword Qi everywhere.
These figures were much more resistant to the devouring power than the ones before. Although they still trembled a little, they managed to launch a defense.
Of course, that would not last long because their strength had been reduced by 90%.
"Die!"
Su Mo moved as fast as lightning in the crowd of figures and struck at them violently.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the sword swung, countless figures blew up.
In only a couple of minutes, all 256 glowing human figures were destroyed by Su Mo.
As the last figure dissipated, the blinding light that flooded the entire level swiftly disappeared and Su Mo could clearly see the area.
The level was extremely vast and empty and spanned at least 500 meters wide.
There was a 40-meter-tall platform at the edge of the area.
The square platform had stairs leading to the top on all sides, and its top shinned with golden light.
Su Mo's eyes lit up and his heart skipped in anticipation.
Swish!
Su Mo instantly rushed onto the top of the platform and there lay a glittering gold treasure box.
He took a deep breath and opened it. It revealed a jade tablet slightly larger than a palm.
Gale Island has similar jade tablets that were used to record high-level martial arts.
He picked it up and stared at it intensely. His consciousness instantly entered the jade tablet.
Suddenly, a large amount of information flooded into Su Mo's mind.
What the jade tablet contained was a Martial Scroll, Nirvana Swordplay Skill. It was lauded as one of the ten great treasures of Ethereal Shrine.


Su Mo went from the pride of his clan to becoming the butt end of a joke in a matter of minutes. The former King of Mercenaries from Earth was reborn in the body of a boy in a foreign world and had used skills in his previous life to rise to the top among his peers, however, his previous training could only take him so far. The next step in this martial arts dominated world was to awaken one’s Martial Soul.
The awakening ceremony ends in disaster for Su Mo as he awoke a Martial Soul of the lowest level. Such a prodigy is now considered worse than useless as his Martial Soul is far too weak! After becoming the embarrassment of the clan, he discovers that his Martial Soul has a unique property: it could level up! This unique martial soul could shake the heavens. 
It was at this time that Su Mo meets the love of his life but the situation quickly deteriorates when she is taken by one of the most powerful forces in the world. Su Mo must rise from the lowest of the low and reach the pinnacle of power in order to save the love of his live within five years or she will forever be out of his reach.


"Remember this feeling, as long as I can unleash it ten times, then I can use the Vanishing Step skill." Lin Jie had already shown up on the other side—the skill he had used just now was the Vanishing Step technique! That technique was used by Tomorrow Night at the Blade Peak Canyon before, and Lin Jie had been studying it, thinking about it and comparing it to the steps he used normally.
Finally, with a solid foundation, he had learned the Vanishing Step at the critical moment. He successfully used it and dodged the attack!
After unleashing the step 10 times, he would be able to learn it as a skill! However, how hard was it? It was difficult for normal people to even successfully activate the step once after 100 or even 1,000 tries. Although Lin Jie successfully used the Vanishing Step, it was uncertain as to whether he was able to use it the second time.
"Come, come at me!" Lin Jie roared crazily and actually charged towards the Hungry Tiger's claws head-on. This time, he did not use any skills or items and just dashed towards it. However, his body did not stop trembling, the branches and gravel actually passed through his body as they were smashed towards him!
"That is… Z Vibration! That's a micro-level positioning which has high requirements on one's skills!" shouted Star Kill in shock. 
The so-called Z Vibration was that the player would control one's body to sway left and right while not affecting one from moving forward. However, if it was just so, then why would there be "high requirements for one's skills"? The Z Vibration, in the true sense, was when one was swaying, one would be able to adjust anytime to dodge skills and attacks.
For example, when two arrows were shot towards Lin Jie, he only needed to sway from left to right once by looking for the interval and stop for half a second to let the arrows pass. It may seem easy in words, but actually doing it was extremely difficult, and keeping it up would be even harder! However, Lin Jie had reached his peak condition now, and after grasping the feeling of the Vanishing Step, the accuracy of his positioning was even higher.
Shoosh!
Afterimages appeared one after the other, that was the effect of the Vanishing Step! Lin Jie finally believed it now that the top-tier techniques of different jobs could be exchanged and learned. It was no wonder that Tomorrow Night and Yesterday Morning went into the Blade Peak Canyon, they wanted the Berserker's 100 Consecutive Strikes!
ROAR—
In the blink of an eye, Lin Jie had already reached right in front of Hungry Tiger! What that guy said was correct, he did not use skills from the start to the end. As for the reason? iI was unknown to Lin Jie, but what could be confirmed was that person named Hungry Tiger was not used to using skills "in that so-called domain"!
That's right since he had already grasped a top-tier technique, why was there a need to use skills? The battle would not be pure, and it wouldn't be enough to show off! Imagine in a battle of two experts, one kept on using magnificent top-tier techniques to fight, but the other suddenly despicably shouted Frostbolt, wouldn't it be abrupt?
As a Druid, Hungry Tiger did not use skills often, so his control over his body after transformation was not strong, thus he could not dodge in time. After Lin Jie neared Hungry Tiger, he directly charged forward and used Shield Cut and Army Obliteration to pierce open the fur on his calf. Blood instantly splurged out.
-2,716!
-1,425!
-1,628!
-1,539!
-1,487!
Boom—
After a successful attack, Hungry Tiger's claws had already grabbed Lin Jie's head before Lin Jie's figure disappeared. However, still, no damage number popped up! That was because Lin Jie had used the Vanishing Step, only an afterimage was grabbed! However, after using it this time, Lin Jie could really feel his legs going soft, thus positioning was even harder. There were consequences to using it, just like Berserker's 100 Consecutive Strikes!
As known by all, the physical abilities of the characters in the game were almost limitless, one could do almost anything with one's body to their liking since they wouldn't die anyway. Surprisingly, in the process of unleashing top-tier techniques, it was different. Every technique had high requirements to one's accuracy in movements, so even if one moved their toe a little more when using the technique, it was not counted as a perfect execution, the body would gradually feel uncomfortable.
Such as when Lin Jie used Vanishing Step, it was definitely not accurate or perfect enough. Even though Lin Jie could execute it, he would be tired. Using a common concept to explain, it would be "Fatigue Point". When experts used top-tier techniques, 1 Fatigue Point would be produced, or even no Fatigue Points at all, so they could use it as they wished.
In Lin Jie's case, 2, 3, or even 5 Fatigue Points would be produced each time. After using it a few times, Lin Jie's body could not take it anymore.
Activating the skill was equal to draining his physical capacity, so it would result in the weakening effect of stiffening, one would be unable to attack, and damage dealt would be reduced.
Under the vigorous attacks by Hungry Tiger, Lin Jie, who was in a miraculous state, gritted his teeth and persevered, finally completing the Vanishing Step 10 times!
A faint system prompt message rang in his ear, the sound was literally heavenly.
—'You learned the skill [Vanishing Step], as a reward for learning a high-level skill of another job, your Agility's growth has increased by 0.1. You received the achievement [First! Stealing Others Jobs' Skill] and 1 New Age Accomplishment Point.'
"I'm the first?" Lin Jie was shocked, then what did Hungry Tiger count as?
No matter what, having New Age Accomplishment Points was a good thing! 'How long has it been since I've received a New Age Accomplishment Point?' Lin Jie instantly used the Vanishing Step, but his Vanishing Step was different from Tomorrow Night. Tomorrow Night could use it for 15 minutes, but for Lin Jie… he could only use it for 3 minutes, and the cooldown time was the same, half a month! It was a scam!
At that moment, Hungry Tiger attacked yet again! Lin Jie directly activated Vanishing Step, and only afterimages could be seen. The stripes on Hungry Tiger's head, which formed the Chinese word "王", looked as if they were all twisted together as he frowned. Hungry Tiger felt as if all his punches hit cotton, it didn't seem right for him to use or not use his strength.
"Let's go." It was good that Lin Jie was tactful and directly ordered for all Savage Blade members to retreat. Lin Jie had gained much from this battle, so he needed to review the battle! Also, the side effects of the Vanishing Step were almost coming, he had to hurry and leave.
Retreat!
Baili Xuanyuan was about to activate his skill to prevent Lin Jie and the others from leaving, but he was stopped by Hungry Tiger. 
Hungry Tiger said, "A cornered animal is a dangerous foe. You have gained much this time. Since Lone Wolf is unwilling to join us, he is our enemy! Meanwhile, the equipment in our hands are items we must obtain, so the organization will surely send people here. Then, I could negotiate with them and also help your guild to grow. Let's go, we can go and take the Energy Crystals and help you seize the city first. With the City of Light in your hands, we could be more secretive whenever we make a move, thus concealing ourselves."
…
"That guy is so strong."
"Yeah, 15,000 HP after transformation and his Defense and Attack are still so abnormally high, he's a f*cking GM, right?"
"Bullsh*t, there's no GM in The New Age! However, his strength is a little too powerful, even if it was Lone Wolf…"
Everyone hid outside the Harpy's Altar, discussing that fearsome character named "Hungry Tiger" with a lingering fear. All of them took a deep breath, they were a little afraid.
He was too powerful!
Meanwhile, Lin Jie sat on the ground. After Vanishing Step ended, his legs were already so numb it was like they didn't exist, not to mention moving them. Such a situation would last for around 3 minutes.
"Are you alright?" Bu Yi sat beside Lin Jie and said, "Don't be discouraged, you are already very strong, I believe you will definitely be able to beat him one day."
"I can beat him," said Lin Jie.
Bu Yi was stunned, then she put on a comforting smile and encouraged, "I believe you really can do it."
"I really can beat him, now!" said Lin Jie seriously. "If that person is a member of some secret organization, then that organization might most probably be filled with experts who grasped top-tier techniques! Also, they must not have grasped only one. I even have such a speculation, if one did not grasp at least three top-tier techniques, then they would not even be able to join. Even if you grasped one top-tier technique, you would only be non-official members, dispensable cannon fodder."
"What?" Everyone was astonished. 
Zheng Ziliang trembled as he asked, "How is it possible for such an organization to exist? We can basically be counted as one of the strongest high-end players, right? Even we have not learned them yet! If they were all experts who grasped top-tier techniques, then how is there any hope for us to win?"
"I can win! When I say I can win, it means I can!" said Lin Jie in a serious tone. "They don't know how to use skills! Maybe it's due to them studying top-tier techniques, they are very unfamiliar with skills, so as long as I take advantage of that and increase our strength, together with the technique of being able to use skills proficiently, beating them is not difficult at all! That Hungry Tiger, if he stands in front of me again, I can definitely win."
Baili Changcheng smiled bitterly and said, "I believe in you, try your best."
"…" Lin Jie could not help but be speechless. Hungry Tiger was indeed too powerful, he had left a psychological trauma on everyone, even making them feel despair, thus being mistaken. If such a trauma was not dispelled, it would leave a heavy influence on everyone, that was not something good.
"Let's go." Lin Jie stood up.
"Let's go. Are we going to continue farming the camps?" asked Baili Changcheng.
"No, all of you will be the audience, I will go and face that Hungry Tiger," said Lin Jie seriously as he raised his Broken Blade. "I can win."
Zheng Ziliang tried to persuade him. "Jie, there's no need, right? Your Berserker's 100 Consecutive Strikes is still in cooldown, it's too difficult to kill him. All of us recognize your strength, so you totally don't need to put on a front."
Dejected Night also nodded and said, "That's right, we should settle the things presently, then go back and redeem ourselves. Since top-tier techniques really do exist in The New Age, we will definitely come in contact with them, learn them, and completely grasp them. Lone Wolf, give us some time, and we will help you."
"Brother, calm down first," said Baili Changcheng.
"Let's go." Lin Jie only said these two words before turning and heading towards the canyon.
Bu Yi followed behind him closely and said, "Top-tier skills all have a cooldown time, before the cooldown ends, using the techniques relies on one's execution only. I guess he most likely wants to make use of Hungry Tiger's ability to train his execution skills. Also, Lin Jie's weapons are very strong, so he still has chances to win if they really fight."
"I can win," said Lin Jie.
"Enough, you're just repeating the same few words." Fat Cattle realized that he could not convince Lin Jie, so he gritted his teeth—he might as well be the bad guy. Fat Cattle, who activated his sarcasm mode, said relentlessly, "What makes you think that you will win? Who knows how many times stronger his skill is as compared to you? Over 10 of us had attacked for so long, and he healed himself with just a Rejuvenation. No matter how strong you are, could you defeat over 10 of us? Also, that guy had at least three top-tier techniques, how about you? Including your half-baked Vanishing Step, you only have two, are you looking for death?"
Lin Jie stopped for a moment, but he continued moving forward. "I also know three top-tier skills."
Fat Cattle felt like crying. "I say, boss, can you not be so stubborn? How could we not know what you know? Where's the third one? Show it to me."
Lin Jie showed him.
Lin Jie's skill panel was filled with skills, shining with their own unique light.
"Skills, are a top-tier technique that belongs to us exclusively! He's bound to lose!" Lin Jie's figure flashed as he entered the canyon.

After destroying the dimension where my father was confined I calmed down a little and looked where I was, I was in the middle of very thick forest, at mine foot there was the same spear which blocked my father, I touched it and when that happened a strange notification appeared
[Congratulation for obtaining the strongest divine weapon in this world, as a reward host will be teleported in a different dimension to meet the strongest spearman]
Before Ii could even realize what was happening I found myself in a black world where the only thing I could see was a man 7 feet long with black hair and black eyes he gave off the same aura of me of an Asura
Black-haired man:'' Who are you kid and where am I?'' He said while giving off the aura which would scare even dragon Gods
Shiro:'' Goodmorning Sir I came here to train my spearmanship with the strongest spearman in the universe, my name is Shiro, and as you might feel I am as well an Asura only of a different kind.''
Lin ming:'' My name is lin ming, it seems you are saying the truth, it seems like in this space the time is 1000000000 times slower so we have all the time you want, well, first of all, we might as well teach you the basics.''
Even though lin ming looked like a good man he was a monster as he discovered that I could train without stopping he made my training at least 100 times harder 
First of all  1000000 lunges then 1000000 swipe than stand iìstiil in the knight position for 48 hours and the end, I had to spar with Lin ming
I don't know how much time passed and I also didn't know how much my spearmanship leveled up 
While I was training my lunges an enormous crack formed on the black space
Lin ming:'' It seems this is a farewell my strongest disciples, I hope we met again someday.''
Earing his words some tears formed on my face I spent so much time with him that I seed him as an older brother, I immediately poured some of my mana in him so that I could always knew his position
I found myself in the same forest, in the exact moment I touched earth an enormous screen appeared on the sky
Odin:'' Shiro if you hear this be aware that all the people that came in contact with you have been captured and are now imprisoned if you want to free them to come to the same place where you were almost killed by us.''
Shiro:' It seems like someones want to die.'
Using my omnipresence I teleported in that same place, apart from the people of the Ryozanpaku and the Kure clan there also where the one I met at Beacon hills and ''Thor'' with all his friends I guess
Shiro:'' YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!'' I said while releasing all of my mana and bloodlust, I activated my Chaosfield form and My Chaosfield God halo which killed half of the army of the gods
The gods were astonished by it, I dashed with all my strength using all of my swords in my Asura arms and my main arms were equipped with the spear
Odin:'' How can he have the true Longinues it should be with his father.''
With one sweep of my swords and spear, all of the remaining mobs were killed the only remaining enemies were the Gods
