Innate Divine Strength

After dealing with some ill-advised pirates and constantly fighting Sea Beasts and Jungle Beasts, Will gradually figured out the system's main function.

It was to earn [Purity Points] through combat.

Then, from the system, he could draw physique or mental enhancements, as well as various talents and skills centered around himself.

The first talent he drew was [Innate Divine Strength].

[Innate Divine Strength: Born with terrifying strength capable of casually crushing ordinary iron tools. The density of muscle fibers throughout the body is dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people. Moreover, as time passes, the muscle fiber density not only shows no sign of degradation but continues to increase.]

After obtaining this talent, Will instantly felt a massive boost in his own strength.

Ordinary people in the pirate world were as fragile as twigs in his hands, easily snapped with a casual motion.

Even the beasts and Sea Beasts that had once posed a slight challenge to him now seemed like toys in his grasp, ripe for bullying.

Such a drastic change took Will several days to gradually adapt to.

It also made Aster notice something unusual.

But Aster didn't pry into the matter, showing no curiosity about it, and his attitude toward Will remained as usual.

Recalling the peculiarities about Aster that set him apart from ordinary people, Will couldn't help but show a hint of emotion on his face. He turned his head to look at the grave beside him and murmured softly:

"Looks like back then, you probably weren't just some ordinary person either."

"It's a pity that even though I have wine in my hand now, I can't hear you tell me your old stories anymore."

Raising his hand to take another drink, Will's gaze shifted as he silently pondered:

"Over two years is enough for me to adapt to this world."

"From now on, I'll follow my original plan—go find the strong ones of this world and have a fight, to truly experience their purity."

Thinking this, he closed his eyes, which held a hint of anticipation, lifted his bottle, and continued drinking heavily.

This alcohol was like a soft drink to Will, completely unable to get him drunk—it only served to quench his thirst and satisfy his cravings.

The liquor trickled down his neck, soaking the clothes on his chest, faintly revealing the outline of powerful pectoral muscles.

But the next second, Will's drinking motion suddenly stopped. His eyes slowly opened, a cold glint flashing in their depths.

"On such a remote, uninhabited island, why are so many people coming here?"

"Can't these guys out on the sea just calm down for a bit..."

Sensing that on the other side of the sea, a ship was rapidly approaching the island's coast, Will placed the bottle in front of the grave and slowly stood up.

"Forget it. I'll just take care of these people conveniently, then use their ship to leave this place."

"Once I've gone out to sea and fully experienced the wonders of this world, I'll come back and chat with you slowly."

With that, Will took one last silent look at the grave beside him.

Then, without lingering, he turned and walked toward the other side of the coast.

"I hope these guys are at least a little strong. After all, I'm not in a great mood right now."

Will walked with his hands in his pockets, strolling slowly along the forest path he had cleared.

His entire aura was like a volcano about to erupt, faintly radiating an intense pressure!

As Will moved, The small animals around him began to roll their eyes and collapse unconscious.

Noticing this, Will gradually calmed down.

He restrained his aura and continued sensing the number and positions of those people on the other side.

When he "heard" that after these people came ashore, two of them were running ahead, with two groups chasing from behind, Will felt a slight surprise.

"Revenge, a bounty, or just plain pursuit?"

It could only be one of those possibilities.

In over two years, he had seen too many similar situations.

"Forget it. Doesn't matter which. If they're all pirates, I'll just take them all out at once."

Will couldn't be bothered to think further. Having made up his mind, he immediately changed direction and walked straight toward where the two fleeing people were heading.

Whoosh—!

The next moment, a sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and Will's figure vanished from the spot.

On the other side.

Between the jungle.

Two girls were running in panic, their pace frantic.

Dodging the trees and underbrush ahead.

They kept nervously glancing back to see if anyone was chasing them.

The blue-purple short-haired girl running in front forced calm, gasping for breath as she urged:

"Faster, or if that guy catches us, we're done for."

The orange short-haired girl following behind understood this well, her expression still fearful as she panted:

"I never thought that guy would have such a terrifying ability."

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have stolen his treasure."

Though she was sorely tempted by the treasure that guy had obtained, she didn't want to lose her life over it.

After all, she still had something extremely important left unfinished.

Now she was so close, she absolutely couldn't get caught here.

Thinking this, her gaze grew more resolute, and her pace quickened again.

Yet just as both girls turned their heads to look back once more while running.

They suddenly slammed into a hard yet slightly elastic obstacle.

Sent flying back, they tumbled to the ground on either side, both filled with shock and panic.

They hadn't seen any trees or rocks blocking the path ahead—how could they have run into something?

With this confusion.

Ignoring the slight pain from their fall, the two girls quickly looked up ahead.

And that look instantly froze them in place, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Before them stood a man of exceptionally tall stature, well-built, with handsome features.

But when they saw his expressionless face and the cold, scrutinizing gaze looking down at them.

Neither girl had any mind left to admire his looks or physique.

And the faint aura he unconsciously emitted made their hearts race and their hair stand on end!

It was like being stared down by some terrifying beast.

This feeling was even more dreadful than the guy chasing them.

Unsure who he was or why he'd suddenly appeared here.

The two girls sat stiffly on the ground, afraid to move, terrified that some action might displease the man before them.

Will stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at the two pretty girls sitting dumbfounded on the ground, his brow slightly furrowed.

Maybe because he was a bit face-blind.

He felt these two looked somewhat alike.

And by instinct, he didn't think they were bad people, likely not even pirates.

Because they lacked that obvious chaotic aura of pirates.
