The System Is Being Naughty Again

"I don't know why, but my Flame Eight Extremes Collapse seems to have become stronger."

Xiao Han had killed Qian Buping in a single strike, instantly defeating him. Even Xiao Han himself was greatly surprised.

Originally, Xiao Han had believed that killing Qian Buping, whose cultivation was higher than his, would require him to use his martial soul, Heavenly Flame, or even the Gene Engine. He had never imagined that he could kill Qian Buping without using any secret techniques at all.

One had to know that Qian Buping was no ordinary man, but a martial artist capable of fighting above his level. Anyone capable of such a feat could be called a genius. Yet this very genius had been instantly slain by Xiao Han!

In Xiao Han's view, this was inseparable from the Mysterious Earth Tribulation he had endured.

Xiao Han closed his eyes and recalled the battle from earlier that day.

As his memories replayed, Xiao Han finally found the key factor. When facing Qian Buping, Xiao Han had fought with the bearing of an overlord—or perhaps a charging warrior.

Facing Qian Buping's sword, Xiao Han had not retreated, nor had he felt the slightest fear. It was precisely that indomitable momentum that had added something to the force of his fist.

"What was that?" Xiao Han asked in confusion.

"Ding-dong!"

"The system reports to the host: that was profound meaning!"

"Profound meaning?"

"Yes, Host. Profound meaning is also known as the laws of Heaven and Earth. Congratulations, Host, on comprehending profound meaning. The Heaven Desolate Nine Tribulations are both Heaven and Earth's test for martial artists and their reward. Once one passes them, one gains the qualifications to comprehend profound meaning."

"Profound meaning? System, are you saying that I've grasped profound meaning?" Xiao Han asked in astonishment.
