C14 The General Trend Was like a Mountain!
Xiao Tian strolled through the galaxy, each step he took seemed to cover only a short distance, but in reality, it was as if he was crossing the expanse of a star.
"Skystride Nine Steps!"
At this moment, Xiao Tian was using the Skystride Nine Steps, a movement technique he had mastered in his previous life among many powerful methods. This particular technique wasn't classified by any rank. The lack of classification wasn't due to its inferiority, but rather because Xiao Tian himself wasn't sure how to categorize it.
The technique was exceptionally unique. It was an art of perception, focusing on understanding nature and the mysteries of the stars, communicating with them. To truly master this technique, one had to use their spirit as a guide to connect with the Power of the Stars and temper their body.
Moreover, with Skystride Nine Steps, each step was progressively harder to master. To fully develop this movement technique, a warrior must use a star core as a foundation, refine it, merge with the star soul, and achieve the ability to step across stars and traverse the galaxy in a single stride.
Although Xiao Tian had been a King Level warrior on Earth in his past life, he hadn't reached the point where he could step across stars and traverse the galaxy with a single stride. In his reborn state, Xiao Tian had only reached the first step of the Skystride Nine Steps. However, even at this initial stage, the power of Skystride Nine Steps was unmatched by ordinary techniques.
If some powerful individuals were to witness Xiao Tian, they would undoubtedly notice that with every step he took, a celestial force descended upon him, refining his body. For a warrior, this was nothing short of extraordinary. Each step Xiao Tian took seemed to enhance his strength.
The Power of the Stars not only deepened his understanding of the Skystride Nine Steps but also continuously fortified his physical strength with every movement. Step by step, Xiao Tian evaded the Minotaurs' attacks, always managing to sidestep their charges with ease.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The Minotaurs attacking Xiao Tian were not only unable to harm him but were also left panting and exhausted. Their eyes, once fierce, now showed a hint of fear. These creatures, known for their brute force and low intelligence, were not easily intimidated. Yet, their inability to land a single blow on Xiao Tian had instilled a sense of awe in them, which was truly remarkable.
"It seems you no longer have any value. In that case, I'll destroy you all," Xiao Tian said calmly, looking at the panting minotaurs before him. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch.
"Boom!"
With Xiao Tian's punch, a terrifying sonic boom echoed through the air. The ground within a hundred yards trembled violently, and a formidable pressure took shape, pressing down on the minotaurs before him.
"Bang!"
In an instant, the minotaurs caught in this force exploded, their bodies bursting into pieces, sending a bloody rain flying in all directions. The scene was gruesome and terrifying.
A force as mighty as a mountain!
If a strong warrior were to witness this, they would surely gasp in shock. Xiao Tian's punch seemed simple, yet it could stir the pulse of the earth and gather its power because it was a manifestation of his fist technique.
This is an insight that can only be grasped after reaching a certain level of mastery in martial arts. Once you can unleash such a technique, even the simplest martial arts can explode with a hundred times their usual power.
Not everyone can grasp the essence of true mastery, but those who do are undoubtedly geniuses. Moreover, Xiao Tian isn't even a full-fledged warrior yet; he's just an Initiate. Yet, he's already capable of unleashing a powerful punch, which is truly astonishing. Typically, a warrior needs to reach the level of a Battlemage to comprehend such a technique. But Xiao Tian, still an Initiate, can already perform it, which is nothing short of shocking.
"Oh my goodness!" exclaimed Qin Wudi, his eyes wide as he watched Xiao Tian. He couldn't help but swallow hard. Despite having been taught powerful techniques by Xiao Tian recently, he hadn't realized just how formidable Xiao Tian had become. Although Xiao Tian was only at the Initiate level, he could deliver a punch with such force that he easily defeated a Minotaur comparable to an eight or nine-star Initiate. Even a Minotaur at the warrior level was no match for him and was reduced to nothing more than shattered remains. It was terrifying.
"Whoa..." Qin Wudi had barely finished his exclamation when he let out a cry of pain. As he turned his gaze toward Xiao Tian, a Minotaur took advantage of his distraction and charged at him, sending him flying. Blood flowed from his body, and if he hadn't twisted just in time to avoid a fatal blow, the impact could have been deadly.
Even after being knocked back, Qin Wudi hit the ground hard and could only watch helplessly as several Minotaurs charged toward his head. If they stomped on him, he would be done for, despite his unique physique and having practiced the Heaven-Equalizing Creation Spell taught by Xiao Tian.
"Die!"
Just as Qin Wudi's life hung by a thread, a cold voice rang out. In an instant, Xiao Tian appeared like a phantom before him and delivered a powerful punch.
"Boom!"
The next moment, all the attacking Minotaurs exploded, showering blood everywhere and drenching Qin Wudi in red.
"Ugh..."
Qin Wudi wiped the blood off his face, casting a resentful glance at Xiao Tian, who had effortlessly retreated after obliterating the Minotaurs.
"Can you be a bit smarter? Who told you to zone out during a fight? Don't you know losing focus in battle is a warrior's greatest mistake? No matter the situation, a warrior must always stay vigilant. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you'll eventually slip up. Even an unbeatable fighter can fall to a weaker opponent if they're not careful," Xiao Tian scolded Qin Wudi loudly.
