At Fu Falls.Leah was alone and was still practicing on cutting the waterfall. She only performed three sword movements. Vertical slash. Horizontal slash. Diagonal slash. She didn’t know how many times she swung her sword horizontally and vertically and diagonally. Thousands of times if not tens of thousands of times.For hours, she kept doing the same thing again and again. She ate meat and drank some water in between to keep herself going.She did not get frustrated in the slightest. With utmost diligence like how a professional who had experience working in their field for decades, she behaved like she knew what she was doing.And her efforts finally bore fruit. All at once.When she horizontally swung her sword for the 30,000th time, the waterfall was horizontally cut in half. And the mountain behind the waterfall was also deep cut.Leah’s eyes slightly widened, but then she smiled.A window popped up before her eyes.[Congratulations! You have unlocked a supreme grade skill: Hori
A few hours earlier.Back in Demon Range.Gary finished collecting more than 300 monster cores of demonoids, most of whom were leveled above 300. He didn’t let anyone he saw escape. He killed them without mercy, and in that process, he freed nearly forty humans they held captive deep in the dungeon. All of them were cultivators. So, they thanked Gary and then escaped the Demon Range on their own. Some of them who had their arms and legs severed and eaten took help from other cultivators.Not every cultivator was willing to help the injured. Some were selfish and so quickly left on their own, but some chose to help. Gary gave these people some of the demonoid cores to reward their deeds. They gladly accepted the crystal cores and sincerely thanked him.One of the cultivators, however, came up to Gary. This was an old man with a long beard. Even his eyebrows were very long. His level was 469.“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it,” the old man said. “A young
“What’s your name by the way?” Gary asked the old man.“It’s Fey Zee,” he replied. “What about yours?”“Gary,” he said.“Gya-ree?”“No, it’s Gary. You’re making it complicated.”“Oh, okay.” Fey Zee didn’t say anything after that.It didn’t take long for them to exit the tunnels and find themselves at a cliff. There was a rope leading down, but Fey Zee looked around and spotted a group in the distance. “There they are!” he pointed at the demonoids. “The rat boss must be among them!”“That’s good,” Gary quickly jumped off the cliff.At that same instance, Fey Zee grabbed Gary’s bag that was resting on his back and cut it at the top.Gary was startled by that.“No personal feelings,” Fey Zee said. “I will put these crystals to good use. Have fun fighting those monsters below.” Fey Zee then created a sword with his aura and jumped and stood on the sword as it flew away fast.Gary’s blood boiled very much. “I saved him, but then he does this. It’s people like him that ruin the image of the
Gary dashed through the sky and scanned the Demon Range like an eagle. His eyesight was not as precise as that of an eagle’s, but he used aura to improve his eyesight, and it helped him detect other auras.He was able to distinguish different lifeforms, so even the ones that were hiding behind trees or under the cloak of some other objects were seen through by him by how they gave off different energy signatures.He came crashing down like a missile and destroyed the demonoids, giving them quick deaths.When he met a level 424 demonoid horse, he didn’t kill it in one strike but left it alive and interrogated it. However, he didn’t find any information regarding the rat boss, other than that he fled in a separate way with his select underlings.Gary kept looking for the rat boss and killed the other demonoids that he came across and collected their crystal cores. He didn’t waste any second to talk to the demonoids, even though they tried to talk to him.In less than ten minutes, he kil
The rat boss kicked up a giant block of earth, which flew toward Gary.He instinctively blocked it, but because some of the demonoids punched it from the other side, it got blasted into bits and pieces, and some dirt got into Gary’s eyes.“Now’s the chance!” The rat boss shouted. “Kill him, Scorpio!”The scorpion demonoid dashed through the cloud of dirt and thrust his tail at Gary and pierced through his abdomen and lifted him up. “Hahaha, it’s over. He’s dead.”Suddenly, the scorpion's tail was cut in the middle, making him cry. He looked back, and Gary was standing right behind him. And he opened his eyes and grabbed Scorpio’s throat and squeezed it and choked him to death.Everyone else was already running away by then. They never meant to fight him. The only reason the rat boss told Scorpio to attack was to buy time. Scorpio was the dumbest in their group, so the rat boss used him.And the few seconds that Scorpio gave them helped them to spread out in different directions.Gary
A massive explosion bigger than the crater around them spread about and uprooted many trees and sent them flying all around. It was like the worst of storms was upon this land, which terrified all the other smaller living creatures.Nevertheless, none of the creatures died because even the ants living in that region were strong enough to not get crushed under an elephant’s foot.The noise of the impact made the rat boss grin. “I think I got you good.”“Yeah, it removed the dirt off my clothes,” Gary responded and pushed the rat boss away.But the rat boss sprang forth once again.Gary also lunged forth and threw a punch first.The rat boss bent backward in midair, turned his body in reverse and kicked Gary in the gut with his rear foot. “Elemental Bolt!”A combination of flame and thunder burst at the point of contact and burned through Gary’s skin, making him cough blood.Gary bore the pain and tried to grab the rat boss’ face, but the rat boss bent his neck to an abnormal degree and
Not only Gary’s body was strengthened significantly, he also gained many skills.One of those was the camouflage skill. It was an excellent grade skill, but as long as Gary stopped moving, he would blend with nature and become invisible to others.And the second skill was the Little Immunity skill which gave him immunity to many diseases and contaminating things. This meant that he could now drink dirty water and quench his thirst and not fall sick. Even eating dirty, poisoned food wouldn’t affect him that much.And the third skill was the Enhancer skill, which enhanced his stats as well as his senses. Even his stealth and punching and biting powers were enhanced. Yes, even his biting force was enhanced now with this passive skill.And the fourth skill, the handiest skill of all, was the Hyper Climbing skill, with which he could climb trees or steep mountains with ease.However, Gary also inherited a negative trait, and this skill was a curse called ‘Fear of Cats.’ Gary’s stats would
Gary spent time with his teammates for another whole day just to practice with them and see their progress and get a better estimate of their strength.He was really happy with their progress, especially with Leah and Sesi’s. They certainly surpassed his expectations.Goya and Wendevorr also improved quite a lot.Rowan, however, was like a mixed bag. You never know what you would get with him. He’d either fight very good or very bad depending on how you approach him. But the good thing was that as long as the enemy didn’t figure out his weaknesses, he’d have an advantage over them.Gary told Rowan, “Do not let your opponents know your weakness. Try to finish the fight as soon as possible, without looking like you’re hurrying. We’re going to be fighting only strong monsters from now on. They will be able to sense even slight changes in our behavior, so we cannot let our guards down no matter the situation.”“So, are we finally heading to the fountain of life?” Sesi excitedly laughed.
