The gambling session lasted for hours. Wu Tian always asked Guizou for the opponent's cards, steadily winning more than he lost. At this time, they finally gained a big amount. "I won again, I'm really lucky, aren't I? Well, I'll be taking these hundred gold coins!"

One hundred gold coins! They had racked a whole platinum! Wu Tian was very happy, unable to hide this feeling from his facial expression, much to the staff member's irritation.

Jiang was overlooking it, reporting back and forth to the overweight middle aged man. "Boss, he just won a platinum worth of gold. He's definitely cheating! At least, he isn't playing fair with us!" Jiang rambled about in worry while the boss stroked his double chin. One could see many gem filled rings on his thick fingers. "Let's wait a moment, I already called in the boys. After three minutes, we'll step in."

Jiang was shocked. Don't tell me... did he call the entire force? Isn't that overkill? Now I feel a little bit better about being his servant. But the young man isn't weak either.

Thinking a bit more, Jiang laughed it off. How could a little kid with just some cultivation be able to survive the onslaught of over a hundred Mortals? It was ridiculous.

Some time later, Wu Tian won again and cheated a whole four platinum coins! He was ecstatic to say the least. But then, he noticed every single staff member as well as an overweight man covered in jewelry and fur to be exiting the building. Feeling something to be wrong, he heard Guizou shout. "Above! Strike above with all you have!"

Raising his head, Wu Tian wondered why Guizou was so worried. But then, all the walls were blown apart, raising storms of dust attempting to drown Wu Tian. Holding his breath, he noticed there to be no more walls. The light outside could be faintly seen from the clouds of dust near the edges. The obvious outcome was...

Are they crazy?! Finally looking back up, Wu Tian saw the faraway wooden roof to be falling closer and closer to him. He did not have enough time to run away, so he could only fight!

Bending his knees, Wu Tian gathered his strength, awaiting the right timing. Countless scenarios flashed through his mind, but he did not have the time to think much more. He could not hesitate!

The slanted roof sealing his escape routes, it shattered, leaving the parts above to fall even further. He now realized this entire roof to be specifically made for this scenario. He did not believe a roof to be this fragile. Thinking that it would then be easy to break apart, he also understood that if truly planned, this last challenge would probably be much sturdier.

The danger creeping closer, it had been a couple of breaths since the explosion, the rooftop now nearing his initial reach. His knees suddenly exploding with raw power, he used both arms to punch above, one thousand pounds of raw casual power each!

Being met with the dual strike, the rooftop shattered to pieces. Large chunks of wood splintered around, a hidden beam of metal bent strangely. Two fist shaped indentations now deeply engraved into it. This beam of metal was sent flying above, its weight nothing to scoff at.

The pressure dispersing the dust clouds, the crowd outside saw the destroyed rooftop parts fall from above similarly to a volcanic eruption. After carefully watching the bright blue sky above, Wu Tian finally relaxed a little bit, taking in a huge breath. His mind cleared slightly, finally freed from the suffocating place.

Still breathing loudly, he looked around curiously. All around the building, more than a hundred burly men were standing, glaring daggers at him. The overweight man then spoke, pointing his thick finger at Wu Tian. "It's him! Boys, be careful! He most likely is a Warrior!" The hundred men had wide open eyes.

Warrior?! No wonder he escaped!

So that's why! The boss always said that this trap could only be survived by a Warrior.

Wu Tian showed a smug look at their reactions. That's right, I'm a mighty Warrior! Finally I can show my strength! Even Wu Fu might not be my match in a couple of years!

However, Guizou immediately showered him with freezing water. "Get ready. These people are only shocked at your talent, not your strength. Be careful, they probably already fought with Warriors before! Even if they are unable to hurt you much, they can still try! Keep a steady rhythm. This will be a challenge for you. I won't help you, you have to win this situation, and if you do, I'll reward you with martial methods!"

Both fearful and excited, Wu Tian carefully looked around. He had to act fast! Kicking the ground on the spot, he rushed behind, the furthest away from the overweight man. There were only five people in a twenty meters radius!

Seeing him rush at them, the five Mortals frowned, taking out weapons. Wu Tian was clearly unbothered by it, forcing Guizou to frown heavily. Why doesn't he flinch? Back then, the young woman had a sword, but he was braindead, so that doesn't count. He doesn't respect weapons enough!

On the other hand, Guizou could not really fault him for this. Their weapons were brittle and not even worthy of being artifacts. But Wu Tian's indifference made him uncomfortable. Maybe he was overthinking it, though he still felt the need to ask later.

Now in range, Wu Tian brushed aside a small knife with his left arm, raising his left knee to strike a man's wrist, forcing the hand currently stabbing his chest to let go of a small dagger. The blade could not penetrate his skin, only tearing apart his clothes. Before it could fall, Wu Tian grabbed hold of it with his right hand, slashing right after from left to right. The dagger snapped but the three other men around him grunted as they bled out heavily. Uncomfortable still with killing, Wu Tian used his far away left arm to slap the most leftward man to death, his slowed momentum only enough to knock out the last man standing still holding his broken wrist in pain.

It had only been a few seconds, Wu Tian then turning around. He was surprised to see the sea of opponents drowning his field of vision. The still hundred strong army was only a few meters away.

Trying to gain distance, Wu Tian retreated while facing all of them. However, the gambling house was, while not in a small neighborhood, still inside the town. Behind him was a small cliff dropping a few meters. He was not willing to land on the crooked stone stairs below, as they led to a dead end. He wanted to fight.

The heat of battle began to pulse through him. He was a Warrior, so why fear them? Even their weapons could not injure him! Thinking as such, Wu Tian stepped forward, refusing to retreat any further. Contrary to it even, he sprinted ahead, closing the distance in a heartbeat.

Feeling the invincibility of the Warrior Realm, Wu Tian ignored their attacks, crossing his arms before stretching them out as fast as he could. The lack of skill could however be complemented with the intense speed and sturdiness of his body. His triceps and back muscles flaring up, contracting while maintaining their metallic resilience. The simple childish movement was enough to shatter the jaws, shoulders and clavicles of over ten of them! But as he dealt with ten, another twenty surrounded him.

He could feel his skin being poked and pressed by blades of all kinds. Daggers, swords, halberds, spears, machetes, and much more. None could break past his defenses, none could bulge his sturdy organs even with their intense shockwaves. He was like a lone rock clashing with the tide.

"Uwah!!" Roaring from the heat of this battle, Wu Tian began to punch and kick everywhere. His moves were heavy and powerful, explosive and flexible. He never missed, as it was impossible for mere Mortals to deviate such a heavy body. The wind pressure alone broke fingers and shattered nails. Blood soon rained down on him, a small army being slowly destroyed from the inside. Wu Tian was fairly short compared to these specifically chosen people. Each was taller than average and with more muscle mass than most soldiers. They were all Mortals as well!

This sent Wu Tian into the pit of the abyss, as no sunlight could pass through them. He was fighting without stop, killing and severely injuring dozens after dozens.

Less than ten seconds later, Wu Tian saw some light rays burst forth from the gaps in their thinning group. His nearly naked torso could see the end!

Using a fist to shatter some more skulls, sending kicks to crush some more organs, slapping apart joints and tearing apart skin, Wu Tian roared again, forcing back the remaining thirteen men.

Finally freed from the onslaught, Wu Tian raised his head, closing his eyes slowly as he felt the warm sunlight bathe his flesh. He was covered in blood, breathing erratically, his heart beating faster than ever.

"That's enough." Not having the opportunity to ask for retreat a few moments ago, the overweight man stepped in. "You all can go back. As for you young man, you made me lose so much money, made me use my trap and caused such a mess. As you can guess, this grudge is irreconcilable. So now, I will deal with you myself!"

Trying to calm himself down, Wu Tian regained some composure. However, he could not hide his surprise. The overweight man was giving him incredible pressure! Just the sight of him made him feel danger. Sneaking a glance at the still bored Guizou, he saw him gently say. "Two thousand pounds."

Wu Tian shivered in disbelief. He struggled to fight so intensely, even for a few short seconds, while the boss was actually stronger than him?

He wanted to ask, but heard his master's dismissive attitude. "You have no chance. Your battle experience, lack of a martial method and current state is guaranteed to make you lose. Bridging cultivation levels, even if so insignificant, is not easy. Believe it or not, but this fatso is twice as strong, twice as fast, twice as explosive, twice as flexible, though with this belly... anyway, twice as this, twice as that and so on. He is just like you, but two times better in every way. Also, he most likely has martial methods and more battle experience than you."

Wu Tian almost felt like his body would crumble on the spot. Despair came faster than he anticipated. Even his master did not believe in him winning it.

"But..."

Halfway listening, Wu Tian remained silent, Guizou soon lighting up his spark. "...but I never intended for you to fight someone much stronger than yourself. So... while it will use ten percent of my current spiritual energy..." Shocked, Wu Tian then saw Guizou rush into his forehead. His wide open eyes soon relaxed.

A green energy began to flow around him, an oppressive aura forcing the boss to take a step back sweating.

"So..." Wu Tian speaking, a rough and old voice rang out inside the minds. "...I will take it from here." The green energy condensing, Wu Tian's long hair fluttered while a thick beard of translucent green energy formed. Countless scars of a glowing green appeared all over his body, seen through his torn clothing.

"I wanted to see how much progress I made with this method. Just a couple of decades of learning before my body was destroyed. I could only train the last part as a soul. Even with your frail body, kid, watch carefully. Feel it. I know that you can!"

Taking a step forward, Guizou's spiritual energy exploded, causing an even greater oppression to fall. The Qi around him gathered on its own, forming an ethereal vortex. "The control of a Dao Transcendent!"

A single step forward shattering the ground, Wu Tian's body blurred ahead, arriving near the boss in a mere instant, an undulating yellow stream left behind. "The power of a Great Emperor!" Sparks of yellow lightning circling around his left fist, this same fist struck forward. "Let's see! First part, [Electric River]!" The punch reached the boss almost instantly, forcing him back multiple steps, his hair standing on end.

Wu Tian looked disappointed by the power. "As expected. Without at least a Pseudo-Emperor level cultivation base, this move is not strong enough. But no matter." His fluttering hair covered in green energy flowing majestically, Wu Tian's left arm retreated, his right arm punching right after. The sky howled and the ground cracked open all around him. The wind turned sharp and whistled praises while the dark clouds above gathered. Lightning crackled far above them, a thunderous roar resounding! "Second part, [Thunderous Sky]!" Laughing as his right fist fully extended, a powerful shockwave tore the boss' skin apart without mercy. His sturdy bones creaked, his organs wailing. He was terrified!

A two thousand pounds Warrior was being pushed back by someone a whole level below! But it was not over!

The extended right arm then flung itself from left to right and back. Like the gentle caress of a parent, full of love. Love for violence! "Third part, [Lightning Wave]!" Yellow threads of lightning formed and spread out like the maws of beasts, electrocuting the boss asunder. Paralyzed, he saw Wu Tian take another step forward. "This one I struggle with still. Fourth part, [Heart Echoing Fist]!" Roaring with all of his might, the lightning surged even more while the now clouded sky complied.

A man's and the sky's roars. In unison, pouring one's heart out for the belief of this path. A gentle, visible shockwave passing through the still stunned boss, ruffling his sparse hair and massaging his rough skin. This shockwave slowly made its way to the horizon before dispersing.

Unable to speak, the boss moved his mouth back and forth, and then. Everything burst out. The boss' body blew up into a mess of blood as pieces of flesh rained down. From Wu Tian's feet to the horizon, a very thin line caused the ground to erupt upward, as if a god's pristine strand of hair was being pulled from beneath the earth.

The green energy dispersing, Guizou left Wu Tian's body. He calmly looked at his incredulous face and barely spoke before entering the pendant around his neck. "As you can see, I always mess up the last part."
