Small world
Da Chan City!
Blood-red ravines run through most of the modern city, as if licked by the tongue of a giant monster, corroding the earth and leaving behind a forest of buildings imbued with a sense of history.
The lampshade glass of the streetlights on both sides of the road was broken, and the broken wires were flashing and dancing wildly, making crackling sounds, leaving black burn marks on the ground.
However, no municipal maintenance workers came to inspect the damage. Instead, there were only trembling figures hiding under the exposed rebar on the rocks, covering the children's mouths and trying to slow their breathing.
It seems that even breathing would attract terrifying monsters.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of light footsteps seemed to tread on everyone's hearts, like the hiss of snakes, making the atmosphere even heavier!
"Waaah..."
A ragged child felt his mother's hand trembling as she covered his mouth from behind, yet she was applying increasing pressure, leaving red marks on his face.
Under this pain, she couldn't help but let out a soft whimper, which was met not with pity, but with doubled strength. Due to lack of oxygen, her face began to turn blue, and her limbs twitched unconsciously.
But she dared not let go.
because……
"If you keep covering him up, he's going to die!"
A calm voice rang out, striking the mother who was covering her child like a thunderbolt. Her arm fell limply, and the little boy finally had a chance to catch his breath. He lay on the ground, breathing in fresh air and gagging.
Without offering any comfort, the mother slowly turned her stiff head and saw an old man wearing a black martial arts uniform with dragon-like or snake-like patterns printed on it, and with several wisps of thin black beard.
He wore cloth shoes, was not particularly strong, had arms that reached past his knees, was lean and powerful, and had eyes as black as ink, like the silt in the deepest, most filthy soil, devouring all light.
The moment the child's mother saw him, she trembled violently, prostrated herself on the ground, and begged, tears streaming down her face:
"Please, let him go, he's my only child..."
"I never intended to hurt him!" The old man shook his head and said earnestly, "I just want everyone to achieve glory; cultivating martial arts is the right path..."
"You're lying!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the crazed woman, who roared:
"My husband... my father... my eldest son and second daughter, they all turned into monsters in front of me, showing no regard for their own family. The source of martial arts has definitely been corrupted. Could it be that you were the ones who did it...?"
Just recalling that scene made her pupils tremble, her expression desolate, and she murmured:
"It wasn't like this before..."
This world is called the Secret Martial World!
People hone their physical strength to the extreme, then take special elixirs corresponding to their martial arts, which awaken their own secret martial spirit.
Condensing a seed of secret weapon!
By continuously refining the seed, one can break through human limits and gain a powerful physique.
If the seed can be cultivated to its fullest potential, legend has it that the will of the secret martial will will be born, interfering with reality through its spirit and influencing celestial phenomena.
One person can form an army!
The transcendence of individual power naturally made martial arts the mainstream system that everyone aspired to.
Over the long years, countless heroes have emerged, giving birth to a myriad of martial arts styles, each with different schools and abilities!
As for the levels, they are simply divided into five realms, which are:
Seed, seedling, spirit, crown, limit breaking!
They represent the seeds that first enter the Secret Martial Arts, the saplings that grow, the small trees that can shelter from the wind and rain and nurture the area, and the awakened spiritual consciousness that can perceive the energy of heaven and earth.
The Secret Martial Seed is like a mature tree, with lush branches and leaves, its canopy capable of sheltering even a Crown-level martial artist in its vicinity.
At this point, one can be called a martial arts grandmaster.
A crown-level martial artist holds a status equivalent to a nuclear weapon. Even if they establish their own territory and sect, the state apparatus will choose to turn a blind eye.
As for martial artists who have broken through limits... it's just a conjecture put forward by top experts, and it doesn't even have a theoretical basis.
Countless people pursued this path, yet they all fell and died in despair.
Some top experts even smiled bitterly before their death, saying that the world had limited them; no matter how many times a river fish crossed the Dragon Gate, it could never reach the vast ocean!
Therefore, the country began to develop science and technology after that!
I hope to find inspiration from another path!
Everything was going well until one day...
A mysterious virus has begun to spread!
Because of their honed spirit and willpower, martial arts masters possess extremely strong resistance to all external objects, germs, and toxins.
The will of a crown-level martial artist can even interfere with reality!
In addition, their rank is not high, so they are rarely corrupted or distorted by spirituality!
However, this virus did not contaminate the body, or even the physical form, but rather...
Secret Martial Spirit!
It has polluted the entire Mibu Road!
To defeat a giant, start by dismantling it from within!
Many powerful martial arts practitioners were affected, some committing suicide, others going completely insane, their bodies beginning to mutate, growing multiple arms, heads, or even beast-like forms, gradually losing their human form and feeding on human flesh and blood.
Especially for those who are practitioners of the same school of secret martial arts, consuming them is very beneficial to them.
It's called the flesh and blood martial arts!
Faced with the temptation to become stronger, even if some people retain their rationality, but...
The scales have already tipped; it's only a matter of time before they tip!
Soon, countless cities were slaughtered, leaving only a dozen or so. This wasn't due to human effort, but simply because...
The monsters of flesh and blood martial arts felt that it was not good to devour all the ordinary people and that sustainable development was needed!
So they released ordinary people into the ruins, harvested them regularly, and even spread the secret martial arts tradition, hoping to create enough secret martial arts inheritors for them to eat!
This world is already doomed!
The woman angrily demanded, "Was there someone behind this disaster?"
This virus came too suddenly; it doesn't seem like a normal mutation at all!
Before she died, the woman wanted to understand who was trying to destroy everything she cherished.
The old man ignored her questioning and simply reached out to grab the little boy on the ground.
"don't want!!!"
Upon seeing this, the woman screamed, her abdomen bulging high and then rapidly contracting, a deep, toad-like croaking sound emanating from her chest. Aiming at the old man's temple, she opened her mouth and spat out a black streak, which whistled away like a bullet!
Ding!
The old man extended a finger, shattering the attack that was powerful enough to pierce through the stone, which then dissipated as air currents.
"The Ancient Toad Secret Martial Arts of the Great Toad Palace is known for its immovability. It usually accumulates power in its body while walking, sitting, or lying down. It gathers a person's breath and when needed, it uses the vibration of its chest cavity to compress the airflow, like a toad catching an insect, and it hits the target with one strike."
"When you reach the pinnacle of skill, your inner energy will surge like a mighty river, piercing through mountains and tearing apart the earth. It's a pity that you, as the daughter of the Great Toad Palace Master, have only barely entered the realm. Even if your father were to come back to life, he would probably be so angry that he would die again!"
The old man ignored the other person's unpleasant expression, calmly commented, and flicked his finger.
Chi Chi!
Black currents gradually spread from him, quickly covering the woman's entire body as she tried to resist. With a crack, they pierced through her shoulder blades, slowly rising and fixing her in mid-air!
Secret Weapon: Qi Binding Finger!
"Please, please let him go..."
He ignored the woman's desperate pleas and continued to reach for the boy on the ground. The moment he touched the hem of the boy's clothes, the boy suddenly turned around.
He was met with a pair of mature eyes, completely different from his age, filled with murderous intent. He reached out and pressed his hand against the old man's abdomen, roaring the instant he struck:
"Human traitor Cui Xiao, your killer—the serpent Xu Pan."
"The ultimate move of the Serpent Fist—The Coiling Serpent Strikes the Tiger!"
Like a giant serpent coiling around a mountain, carrying immense power, it lunged towards the terrifying tiger to bite!
boom!
With a muffled thud, the old man's martial arts uniform ripped apart at the point where his fist had been, revealing a emaciated body covered in dark blue veins that were slowly writhing.
boom!
The serpentine force spread instantly, penetrating flesh and blood throughout the body, capable of shattering bones in an instant.
The aftershocks of this attack shattered dozens of pieces of concrete, sending dust flying everywhere!
The little boy's face lit up with surprise:
"success……"
This is a trap set for this guy!
It's the remnants of humanity's counterattack!
However, before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed him by the throat. The woman beside him roared in disbelief:
"How is that possible!?"
The old man named Cui Xiao stood as steady as a rock. He slowly lowered his head, glanced at the hole in his clothes, and saw no injuries on his thin body. He frowned and said:
"Is that all?"
The faint disappointment in his tone sent a chill down Xu Pan's spine.
He started by disguising himself as a child with the [Spirit Snake Collarbone] technique, then used the [Dark Snake Breath] technique to build up his power before finally unleashing his ultimate move – Coiling Snake Strike Tiger!
Although it uses a serpentine, continuous force, the spread speed is extremely fast. With a full-force strike, it instantly shatters the steel bars and keel of a tall building, causing it to collapse instantly.
It can strike flesh and blood, and even shatter all of the opponent's organs!
However, after Cui Xiao withstood the fatal blow, he didn't even take a step back, let alone get injured!
What kind of monster is this?
withdraw!
Although he was shocked, he didn't have time to think and retreated like a snake.
The venomous snake's power is concentrated in its initial strike; afterward, both its stamina and venom are greatly reduced.
If we fail, we must flee a thousand miles away!
Click click click!
Suddenly, a series of explosions like firecrackers rang out from Xu Pan's body, and a large amount of blood mist spread out, falling straight to the ground, where he lay dying!
He stared at the old man in disbelief...
"The practice of Snake Fist, the inhalation and exhalation of Qi, emphasizes calmness, softness and solidity. Like the Qi of a snake, it is flexible and agile in every joint, and when it does not touch anything, it seems to have no power."
You didn't do a single one. Did the "Snake Collarbone" technique shrink your brain too?
Cui Xiao's calm voice rang out. Looking at the other person's incredulous expression, he said indifferently:
"Don't be so shocked. When I created the Fallen Dragon Secret Martial Arts, I referenced similar Spirit Serpent Secret Martial Arts and absorbed many of its advantages. You've already taken this Spirit Serpent Hundred Refinements attack and have no ability to resist. If you don't call your help soon, it will be too late!"
"This guy really did spot us!"
"Quickly, go save them!"
"These monsters are really troublesome!"
"..."
Suddenly, a large number of figures emerged from all directions, each brimming with vitality, numbering in the hundreds. Among them were many [Spirit] level experts, all of whom were human martial artists who had not yet undergone mutation.
This time, the goal is to severely injure Cui Xiao, seize Dachan City as a base, and protect more humans!
Ideally, we should be able to bring in a Grandmaster-level expert to oversee things!
Since a sneak attack failed, we have no choice but to fight head-on!
They didn't believe that so many people couldn't defeat a Spirit-level martial artist!
Faced with such an aggressive scene, Cui Xiao calmly said:
"Do you also want to resist the evolution of life?"
"Evolve my ass! If you evolve, are we going to become cannon fodder?" a bald, burly man roared.
The others also angrily took action.
"Kill him!"
"Ugh...ugh..." The little boy lying on the ground seemed to want to say something, his expression filled with despair. Cui Xiao said with emotion:
"You stand on the ground, yet you cannot see the true future, nor feel the great terror beyond the world."
That's normal, though; the human eye is inherently prone to deceiving itself and seeing falsehoods.
Although you've blocked my path, I can let you experience the secret martial arts I've learned while living in the mud alongside countless fallen dragons..."
"Fallen Dragon's Secret Weapon - Azure Law's Chaotic Hundred Kills!"
Click click click click!
Veins emerged from Cui Xiao's arms, face, and tattered clothes, bulging and writhing like living things, looking extremely ferocious and twisted.
next moment,
With a tearing sound, flesh split open, revealing crimson tendons, as if a bizarre blood-soaked figure stood upright, with numerous veins surging out and dancing behind it, sending chills down one's spine.
"monster!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, but they still gritted their teeth and went for it, unleashing all sorts of secret weapons in preparation to kill their opponent!
Whoosh whoosh!
The meridians surged forth, like a venomous dragon emerging from a deep pool, with overwhelming momentum!
With a casual flick, he shattered a two-meter-tall, burly man who had cultivated the Shattering Mountain Bear Secret Martial Arts into dust, turning it into a shower of blood, flesh, and hail that fell from the sky!
Rumble!
However, the tendons did not stop, but continued to throb, stirring up a howling wind, as if a storm was approaching.
Everything that came into contact with it was instantly pulverized!
"So strong..."
Seeing this, the others' fighting spirit was shattered, their legs went weak, and they tried to retreat, but were swept up by an invisible suction force and flew into the air amidst panicked cries.
Piercing their brows with these black veins, accompanied by sucking sounds, they instantly turned into dried corpses.
An attack by hundreds of people?
It's nothing but a joke in the face of absolute power!
After consuming a large amount of blood, these black veins were covered with blood vessels, which gathered together and formed a snake-like shape and dragon-like intent behind Cui Xiao. However, they did not look sacred, but rather filthy.
It opened its enormous, black maw, its tentacles fluttering as if it wanted to seize and swallow all living things!
The so-called "fallen dragon" is just another name.
In reality, it's just...
loach!
However, the head of this giant dark loach has begun to transform into a dragon, growing a single horn that looks ferocious and terrifying, and it roars directly to the sky!
Roar!
With a deafening roar, the ground within a radius of a kilometer sank, and numerous houses collapsed after their steel bars and frames were shattered and lost their support.
Rumble!
A cloud of dust billowed up, but Cui Xiao remained firmly rooted to the ground, his meridians and skin covering him, restoring his human form!
"Burp~, this seems to be the third wave of attackers. You guys have almost fed them all!" Cui Xiao burped and said with a smile.
He even looks somewhat kind and gentle!
Lying on the ground, Xu Pan's eyes were filled with despair as he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"The will of the secret weapon manifests... Crown-level... Why is fate so unfair..."
"I don't believe it...it's all fake..." The woman, her hair disheveled, had completely gone mad!
"Because you've gone astray, while I'm on the right path!"
Cui Xiao shook his head and chuckled:
"It's not your fault. I only realized how insignificant our world is after seeing them, so small that it could be crushed with a flick of the wrist. You know how..."
Are you excited?
Cui Xiao's expression was fanatical as he continued, "There are so many powerful figures for me to challenge, and the chance to climb up step by step... just thinking about that scene makes me tremble with excitement!"
"Who are they? At least let me die knowing why!" Xu Pan asked, enduring the excruciating pain.
"Then you might as well die without ever knowing why!"
Cui Xiao shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not a talkative villain, but we have something important to attend to next, so we don't have time to feed you bunch of pigs and sheep."
So I will devour everyone, so you can witness me become the strongest Crown-level being, surpassing the limit, and even becoming the only flesh and blood demon.
If I can eventually consume all the life in the world, wouldn't that be the same as saving everyone and leading you all to immortality? You should be thanking me!
madman!
Thoughts surfaced in Xu Pan's mind, but all that remained was despair.
Are these monsters something that humans can really fight against?
"Is this world truly beyond saving?"
Just as he was sighing and waiting for death, he found that the other party had not made a move!
He looked at the other person in confusion, only to find that Cui Xiao's body was trembling uncontrollably, his gaze fixed on the distance, and his breathing was uneven due to the fluctuations in his aura. He exclaimed in surprise:
"Such a dangerous aura sends chills down my spine. It's definitely a formidable enemy, probably a Crown-level one. I didn't expect you to prepare such a feast for me; this is truly delightful!"
A formidable foe?
What is this madman saying?
Xu Pan was completely confused and thought the guy was going crazy.
However, Cui Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked in the northwest direction. He followed the gaze and saw a handsome young man appear on the street of Da Chan City, walking slowly towards him.
"So young?"
Cui Xiao was stunned when he first saw the other person, but he quickly realized that just because someone looks young doesn't mean they are young; they might already be decaying.
His sharp gaze swept quickly up and down, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Such a powerful physique, it should be at the level of a peak [Spirit Level] martial artist. However, there are few signs of training, and I can't sense any specific aura. It may be a secret weapon of concealment, perhaps a spirit turtle or something similar, which can prolong life and maintain youth."
But it shouldn't be a Crown-level fighter. Even if it is, it doesn't matter; their combat ability definitely won't be as strong as mine, and besides…”
"Such a delicious creature is a rare find!"
Cui Xiao's eyes were greedy. His knees were slightly bent, and his body shot out like an arrow. He couldn't wait to consume more advanced nutrients!
the other side,
On the street!
"This world is so dirty, even psionic energy is filthy." Mouse and Spider were hiding in each other's pockets, complaining to Xiuren through telepathy.
"Just bear with it!" Lu Yu shook his head. He could already understand why some minor villains who descended from the upper realm to the lower realm in novels looked so arrogant!
This kind of environment is really disgusting.
If the world of cursed beasts is simply a barren mountain valley, then this world is a bit like eating a hamburger in a toilet.
The stinky pickling has really infused the flavor!
Fortunately, the Beastmaster system is extremely powerful. It can stabilize spirituality and filter out pollution through spiritual puzzles, so there are no major problems and no loss of combat power.
The only pity is...
Why are people scattered instead of all together during cross-dimensional teleportation? How is he supposed to harvest the韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting others)... oh no...
Protect your classmates! Let's connect and build relationships!
Without these acts of bravery, how could they be recognized as outstanding college students?
The principal really doesn't understand his desire to improve!
The other test takers are probably thinking about him too!
"Eek!" The little spider didn't care. As long as it was with its master, it didn't matter whether it was in a polluted world or the abyss.
As for Egg... he's just curious whether life in this world tastes good?
Whoosh!
Just as they were talking, a purplish-black figure suddenly rushed over, causing Lu Yu to narrow his eyes.
"Oh no!"
Seeing this, Xu Pan wanted to shout a warning, but the moment he opened his mouth, he aggravated his injuries, and his voice became hoarse as he said:
"Be careful!"
Finished!
The woman from the Great Toad Palace watched this scene, only laughing hysterically.
Nobody...
You can escape your fate of death!
"They even have points delivered to your door!"
Lu Yu glanced at Cui Xiao, his expression calm. Just as the two were about to make contact, space twisted for a moment.
The next moment, Lu Yu appeared directly behind Cui Xiao.
"I...lost?"
After Cui Xiao missed his target, his maniacal smile froze, stiff and crazed. His powerful physique, which instilled despair and fear in countless people, was easily torn apart, and a ring of blood appeared from the middle.
The next moment, his body broke in two and fell to the ground with a thud!
"Eek!"
The little spider sheathed its silken sword, dusted off its master's shoulder, and expressed its strong dissatisfaction with the rude behavior of this wild monster that was charging around so recklessly!
The hamster and the egg didn't take it to heart.
The group continued chatting and laughing!
"Dead...dead!?"
This scene left Xu Pan and the woman speechless!
Crown-level martial artist...
Cui Xiao, whom they saw as a nightmare and an embodiment of calamity, was actually killed instantly by this mysterious young man who suddenly appeared?
Is this a dream?
"Hehehe... Your strength is indeed formidable. You're probably not from this world, are you? Don't try to deny it, because the weak mortals of this world could never reach this level. But that's all there is to it..."
Cui Xiao, with only half of his body remaining on the ground, did not die thanks to the Fallen Dragon Secret Weapon and his powerful life force after the mutation. A large number of tendons rushed out from the wound, intertwined together, and manifested a huge projection of the dark Fallen Dragon's will!
boom!
A surge of powerful, distorted spiritual energy erupted, and the head split open, from which emerged dozens of loach-like bodies bearing Cui Xiao's face, coiling and intertwining together—enough to drive anyone with trypophobia to the brink of collapse!
"Secret Weapon: Fallen Dragon's Hundred Heads Shot!"
Cui Xiao acted swiftly, and the condensed secret martial projection swept outwards. Dozens of heads exhaled dark energy, staining the surrounding land and turning it into a dark, muddy wasteland!
Any living creature that stands on it will be quickly swallowed up!
"Go to hell!"
Cui Xiao laughed wildly, and then...
Then I saw the little spider extend a slender, white finger and casually press down!
Click click click!
The void where he stood collapsed instantly, creating a void storm that easily crushed the Secret Martial Will, along with his flesh and blood, sending it into the void mother nest!
As for his soul, it was taken away by the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree!
The main focus is on making use of waste!
Lu Yu approached Xu Pan and, through the telepathic connection established by the rat-like structure, inquired:
Where are the world's top experts?
Cui Xiao, who just made a move, doesn't seem to be very intelligent. He should be a minor boss who's a bit better than the weaklings!
To get a high score, you still have to kill the top-tier boss!
Although the tone was unmistakably villainous, Xu Pan fell silent upon hearing it, subconsciously glancing at the ruins of Cui Xiao, which were now completely reduced to ashes...
This guy,
He must be a top-tier expert, right?
