Chapter 166: World of Martial Arts and Cultivators Part 1

[Age 0- You are born as the son of a small town lord's son. Because you were born with an Innately Strong Body, you were blessed by Heaven upon your birth.]

[During this time, you caused quite a ruckus in the family, causing many to look at you with envy and amazement.]

[Although your birth caused quite a stir, it wasn't enough to change the world. So, everything quickly turned silent.]

[In less than a year old, you not only managed to speak but also walk around casually like an adult.]

[Your actions were perceived as the reincarnation of a god; thus, you had quite a high status in your family.]

[But as someone born with an Innately Strong Body, you had a special power within your blood.]

[Age 3- After a lot of research and training, you managed to awaken that power and instantly reached a state that seemed completely different.]

[You tried to find the power system of this world, hoping to gauge your current strength. You sparred with many adults, beating them quite easily.]

[Because of your love for swordsmanship, you became the youngest swordsman in the world, cutting iron with your sword at the age of 3.]

[Through your research, you found that this world was vastly different than any other world you had been to.]

[It seemed like be mixture of martial arts and immortality. There were two kinds of powerhouses.]

[One who trained their bodies and essence. The other trained their soul and essence.]

[Those who trained their body and essence were called Martial Artists, while those who trained their soul and essence were called immortals.]

[Because of your amazing display of power and swordsmanship, you attracted the attention of many power-hungry people who wanted to replace your father.]

[This world's Martial Artists were divided into Nine Ranks. Each rank was classified by a person's achievement in their training.]

[Ninth Rank referred to those who trained their skin to the point where their skin was tougher than the skin of a rhino.]

[Your father was a Ninth Rank Expert, and your Azure Town had several Ninth Rank Experts. They all wanted to get the position of the Town's Lord.]

[Since your father inherited this position from his father but didn't manage to reach Eighth Rank, which was necessary, his position was quite unstable.]

[But because of your arrival, that all changed. People perceived you as a genius that can't be stopped, so they must kill you before you grow up to become a martial artist.]

[What they didn't know was that while fighting those powerful people, you weren't even using five percent of your true power.]

[So, when they tried to assassinate you themselves, you killed them all.]

[At the age of three, you shook the Azure Town with your feat of killing Five Ninth Rank Experts.]

[Age 4- Your feat of strength was so extraordinary that it started spreading everywhere, outside your town and beyond your country.]

[People wanted to see what kind of baby you are to be able to accomplish such a feat. So, they flocked up in your town.]

[You weren't a normal kid. So, you immediately used this opportunity to establish a business.]

[Before this, entering the town was free. But you placed a price tag on the visitors based on their monthly income.]

[To enter Azure Town, whether it was for sightseeing or settlement, they had to pay some money.]

[While people were outraged initially, things started to calm down when most of the people who came to see you were mostly rich people.]

[Age 5- You successfully helped your family become ten times richer within just a year. You also helped your father reach the Eighth Rank by training him.]

[During this time, you found something was calling you. You didn't realize what it was, but this force was calling you outside the town.]

[You got suspicious, and since you hadn't inherited everything that you were supposed to, you decided to leave the town at such an early age.]

[Your decision wasn't accepted by your parents, but when your father realized he couldn't even force you to use fifty percent of your strength, he had no choice but to let you leave.]

[At the same time, you hadn't started training your body. You realized that the power within you was similar to a martial artist, but it was so strong that you didn't need training.]

[At least, that's what your father thought. But you knew you weren't training because you were waiting for the destined Qi Method.]

[Since in this world, Martial Artists trained their bodies to produce Qi through their blood and energy absorbed from nature.]

[On the other hand, cultivators tempered their souls and, using the energy absorbed from nature, they would produce Qi.]

[Both required a certain talent. But Martial Arts had a lower entry limit than cultivation. So, cultivators were quite revered throughout the world.]

[And, unlike martial artists, cultivators could easily fight others from hundreds of meters away.]

[But there was one common thing between them. They both required a Qi Method. But both were different in the sense that they utilized different systems.]

[Because of this, you didn't practice any Qi Method or even try to become a Martial Artist.]

[Age 6- It has been a year since you left the town. This year, you travelled to different towns, found different people.]

[Because of your age, you had no choice but to act like an orphan who was abandoned in several conditions.]

[You scolded yourself for cursing your parents like that, but you also realized you were getting closer to that feeling.]

[You kept moving until you finally reached the place where you were supposed to go.]

[It was a barren desert, stretching as far as you could. You hesitated for a moment.]

[After all, you were only six years old. Even with that power, you didn't think you were physically capable enough to cross this desert on your own.]

[Nevertheless, you decided to do exactly that. But before that, you had to prepare.]

[You prepared water and food for this journey. You had a space ring, created by the cultivators.]

[You had to find a big city to get this ring. Thankfully, you had brought a lot of money with you. So you easily bought the ring.]

[But at the same time, you also invited some trouble. Some people became greedy for your wealth and decided to ambush you.]

[One of them was even a cultivator, a lower-ranking cultivator. You managed to dispose of those martial artists quite easily.]

[But the cultivator was starting to become a big problem for you. Since he could attack from afar, you didn't have any choice but to dodge his attack.]

[And, it's not like you could dodge every attack. Fireballs were slow, so you could them.]

[But Wind Blade was fast. It was also a scary, powerful especially for you, who hadn't reached Ninth Rank.]

[So, you were very cautious with your approach. Eventually, you found one simple weakness.]

[Since cultivators didn't train their bodies, they were quite weak and would get tired pretty easily.]

[So, you started playing defense. The cultivator also realized this and decided to abandon his ambition.]

[But you were quite stubborn. You wouldn't let a guy who wanted to kill you and loot your wealth go like that.]

[You didn't chase him, though. Instead, you closed your eyes for a moment. In that moment, several hundred thoughts came to your mind.]

[Each thought carrying a sword, a sword thought you called. Something so extraordinary, a power that completely belonged to this world.]

[Using the energy within you, you started spreading out your senses in all directions. You could feel every ounce of strength in your body.]

[Vitalized by that energy, you had the strength to destroy a build with a single punch.]

[You concentrated all of that strength into your arm. You held the sword hilt with both of your hands.]

[The sword was almost as big as you, but your posture was as intimidating as it was. When you held it, you opened your eyes.]

[The cultivator hadn't left your sight. The last bit of his Qi, he was trying to get away, but your senses instantly locked him.]

[The cultivator felt a danger in his head. His body stiffened. He tried to move, but your gaze was so strong that it froze him.]

[Your Innately Strong Body wasn't just a strong body. It was a kind of physique that was one of the best physiques in the world.]

[But due to the lack of Qi, it hadn't been a true physique. It was just a caged lion. Only Qi could break it.]

[Despite that, your body could absorb the energy from the surroundings and refine it into a power that you could utilize.]

[Focusing on that power, you swing your sword. As it crossed down, a nearly ten-meter-long slash emerged in front of you.]

[The slash tore through the air as it moved towards the cultivator. Just when the cultivator managed to escape your gaze, he moved.]

[And, your slash cut through his back, splitting the cultivator in half as the red blood poured in the middle.]
