Strength Soars, The Assassin Reappears

Deep in his heart.

Teng Qingshan still resonated more with his experiences in the previous two worlds.

In the first world, Teng Qingshan had Little Cat, whom he loved to the depths of his soul, as well as his younger brother, Qinghe.

In the second world, Teng Qingshan spent five hundred years there, rising step by step from an ordinary village boy to become a supreme powerhouse. He had encountered the pure and beautiful Zhuge Qing, who was like a fairy descended to earth, but alas, beauty is often short-lived; Zhuge Qing died in his arms, which became an eternal regret in Teng Qingshan's heart.

Fortunately, heaven never closes all doors. In this life, I must work even harder at my cultivation to reach the great realm of reversing time and resurrecting the dead as soon as possible!

Teng Qingshan opened his eyes, looked at the distant sky, and silently made a resolution in his heart.

But this world was far too vast, and reaching such a realm was easier said than done.

Moreover, Teng Qingshan was not entirely certain whether reaching the level of Universe Master would allow him to resurrect Little Cat and Zhuge Qing.

After all, the images transmitted by the Little Cauldron were too few, and the information recorded in those images was very vague.

He could only be certain that it was possible to resurrect the dead within this universe.

But the Nine Provinces Continent was an entirely different world...

Perhaps even the realm of Universe Master could not resurrect Little Cat and Zhuge Qing.

However, since he had seen a glimmer of hope, and there were even higher realms beyond Universe Master.

Then there was hope!

Looking at Yi'an District under the scorching sun.

Teng Qingshan silently clenched his fists.

In his previous life, he had experienced countless slaughters and battles to become a supreme powerhouse.

In this life, to become a powerhouse far exceeding that level.

One could only imagine how many cruel slaughters and struggles he would need to endure.

But Teng Qingshan was not afraid in the slightest!

Deep in his bones.

He was the type of person who leaned toward madness.

Mad cultivation!

Mad fighting!

Withdrawing his gaze.

Teng Qingshan continued his cultivation.

Utilizing the Samsara Guidance Technique he had just created, he began to refine Genetic Origin Energy.

He assumed the posture of the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method and activated the Samsara Guidance Technique.

Whoosh~~~

Teng Qingshan felt the Cosmic Energy between heaven and earth begin to surge toward him frantically.

The speed was so fast, and the energy so abundant.

Even Teng Qingshan felt shocked!

"This, this... compared to before, the energy surging in is at least a hundred times greater!"

At this moment, the pavilion on the mountainside of South Mountain had effectively become an energy vortex!

The surrounding Cosmic Energy whistled as it surged in.

And Teng Qingshan had become the core of this energy vortex!

"If it was a trickling stream before, it is now a mighty river!"

The near-violent Cosmic Energy poured in continuously; even Teng Qingshan was taken aback by such a quantity.

"Furthermore, while my cells are absorbing and converting energy, they are also consuming it at high speed, so the amount I can absorb has also increased significantly. With this Samsara Guidance Technique, the speed of energy accumulation can indeed become much, much faster."

Even with the massive influx of Cosmic Energy, Teng Qingshan's powerful consciousness could handle it with ease, requiring only a portion of his focus to guide it.

Time passed.

One hour went by.

Two hours went by.

The surging Cosmic Energy continued to pour toward Teng Qingshan.

Finally.

After two and a half hours.

The energy vortex surrounding Teng Qingshan slowly dissipated.

"Hoo~"

"That was truly a satisfying and exhilarating cultivation session!"

Even the incredibly composed Teng Qingshan was shocked by the formidable effects of the Samsara Guidance Technique.

"Practicing like this for one day is equivalent to dozens of days of training using only the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method! Now, my physical fitness can be improved to my heart's content."

Benefiting from his powerful willpower and consciousness, even with his physical strength surging, Teng Qingshan could quickly adapt and maintain perfect control.

After all, in his past life, after breaking through to become a supreme expert, Teng Qingshan had reached an extremely high level of raw physical strength, capable of easily shattering space.

Now, Teng Qingshan's physical fitness was still far from that level, so naturally, there would be no situation where he couldn't maintain control.

When his body's cells were completely saturated, Teng Qingshan stood up and walked to a nearby cliff face.

He looked at a boulder as tall as a man and stuck his long spear into the ground to the side.

Then, he took a deep breath and threw his right fist out like lightning.

BOOM!

The extreme speed of the punch instantly broke the sound barrier, triggering a sonic boom.

But before the sound of the air explosion had even dissipated, the sound of the boulder shattering followed immediately after.

The hard bluestone was as fragile as tofu under the close-range Crushing Fist of Teng Qingshan.

After two and a half hours of high-intensity strengthening, his raw punch force must have reached 6,500 kilograms!

A five-hundred-kilogram increase in a single training session.

This was an exaggerated improvement.

After all, the opportunity for a massive leap in physical fitness only occurs during the first time one cultivates Genetic Origin Energy.

From then on, one can only rely on steady, persistent effort to improve bit by bit.

And the Tiger Form Divine Technique also has its most obvious effect during the first use, with the results diminishing over time.

After all, there are still many differences between Genetic Origin Energy and internal energy.

However, being able to increase his punch force by 1,000 kilograms during the first practice of the Tiger Form Divine Technique was still a decent harvest; even if the effect weakened later, as long as he persisted in practicing, the gains would still be considerable.

Looking at the rubble on the ground.

Teng Qingshan felt no ripples in his heart.

6,500 kilograms, which is just over 10,000 jin of force—let alone in this world, even in the Nine Provinces Continent, that would barely reach the level of a first-class Martial Artist.

It was far from being called an expert.

Even with four times the physical force output, his full-power explosion would only be 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of force, which still wouldn't count as an expert.

Teng Qingshan knew deep down that he still had a long way to go in the future.

He looked at the sky; it was already approaching dusk.

After reviewing and summarizing today's gains once more, Teng Qingshan went down the mountain and headed toward the city.

Moving through the mountain forest like a nimble ape, Teng Qingshan descended to the foot of the mountain in a few leaps.

Arriving where the pedestrian traffic increased, Teng Qingshan slowed his pace, walking on the road just like an ordinary teenager.

At twilight.

There were many people out for a walk.

Others saw a handsome teenager carrying a long, narrow backpack, but they didn't find it strange.

In a big city.

There were plenty of people with behaviors far stranger than this.

Although Teng Qingshan's attire was a bit peculiar, it was still within the normal range.

Ignoring the curious gazes cast by passersby, Teng Qingshan enjoyed the twilight scenery and walked home in a pleasant mood.

But as he walked, Teng Qingshan sensed something was wrong.

The intuition of a top-tier assassin had never faded.

As he approached the "Anran Homestay."

Teng Qingshan keenly perceived that someone was watching him from the shadows.

"Beep-beep~"

Just then, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Teng Qingshan took it out to look.

It was a message from Hong: "Master, the Heavenly Kingdom Organization has sent two top assassins ranked in the top twenty of the underground world to Yangzhou to track the news of the Map Fragment and investigate the cause of death of White Bear and Monkey."

"These two assassins are both experts who have practiced Ancient Yoga to the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. They are Balmik, nicknamed 'Death God,' and Elihu, nicknamed 'War God.' These two have a very resounding reputation in the underground world, and to date, they have never had a failed mission. They are two very troublesome people; Master, please be careful."

"Understood."

He replied to the message casually and tucked the phone back into his pocket.

Teng Qingshan continued walking down the street as if nothing had happened.
