Awakening Innate Wisdom, Nine Years of Great Accomplishment in Rock Steadiness Intent

"You damn slave, daring to slack off right under my nose, you want to die?!"

"Whap! Whap!"

Several whip shadows whistled down!

A searing, intense pain rapidly surged into Jiang Yi's nerve endings!

It hurt so much that he stumbled, falling to his knees!

It also jolted him completely awake from his daze.

Damn it!

I transmigrated!

And became a mining slave!

No!

That's not right, to be precise!

Eighteen years ago, I already transmigrated to this world, born in a small village called Jiang Family Village.

The village chief of Jiang Family Village gave me a name, Jiang Yi--

The same name as my previous life!

But it's only today that I've awakened my past life's memories and recalled my previous existence.

As for the past dozen years or so, I was muddle-headed, surviving like an infant.

My parents in this life loved me dearly, they didn't cruelly abandon me, and they raised me through hardship.

However, a month ago, everything changed!

A group of powerful bandits stormed into the village, burning, killing, and looting without a word.

To protect Jiang Yi!

My parents fought desperately, and in the end, both tragically died by the bandits' blades.

The entire Jiang Family Village was also plundered clean!

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate!

Only I and some scattered young and strong villagers were left, driven back to the mountain stronghold like livestock by the bandits.

Became slaves mining in the mountains!

As fragmented, hazy memories flooded in, Jiang Yi seemed to see the tragic scene of that day:

Villagers' corpses lay in pools of blood!

Screams and wails mingled with wild laughter and ravings, ceaselessly.

As if echoing madly in his ears!

Endless scarlet flames engulfed this small village!

Until it was completely burned out!

Everything turned into a cold, silent ruin.

No bones remained, everything turned to ash!

"Huuu... huuu!!!"

Jiang Yi panted heavily, his upper and lower rows of teeth chattering madly.

He felt an overwhelming rage surging, filling his entire heart.

Damn them!

They deserve to die!

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill them, kill them all!

They aren't human, they are a pack of beasts, they should go to hell!

Almost simultaneously!

In his mind, a faint light screen slowly materialized...

[Life Master: Jiang Yi]
[Cultivation: None]
[Physique: None]
[Techniques: Rock Steadiness Fist, Nameless Scripture (Incomplete)]
[Lifespan: 10]

"A golden finger?"

Two messages entered Jiang Yi's mind:

First, kill those who oppose him. According to their realm and cultivation, a certain amount of lifespan will be converted to replenish his own.

Second, consume his own lifespan to deduce martial arts and cultivate scriptures and techniques!

Simple!

Brutal!

Clear!

"Are your ears deaf? Get up quickly, old man, and keep digging. If you dawdle any longer, I'll beat you to death!"

"Slap!"

Another whip lashed out fiercely!

It tore Jiang Yi's flesh, his blood soaking through his thin, tattered rags.

Jiang Yi didn't respond!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he turned his head to stare coldly at the bandit who had whipped him.

The rage in his heart surged to its peak!

"Consume nine years of lifespan to simulate the technique - Rock Steadiness Fist!"

Rock Steadiness Fist was a martial arts technique from their Jiang Family Village!

It was said to have been passed down from their ancestors!

Every villager in Jiang Family Village was eligible to learn this martial art!

However, very few could master it completely.

He, who had not yet awakened his innate talent!

Naturally, he couldn't comprehend the true meaning of the technique.

However, under his father's constant "coercion and enticement" in this lifetime.

And after more than a decade of "settling" time.

He, with his low intelligence, still memorized this martial art.

[Year 1, you begin cultivating Rock Steadiness Fist.]

[Year 2, your emaciated body begins to recover.]

[Year 3, your Rock Steadiness Fist becomes more proficient, and your physique improves.]

[Year 5, you are familiar with the fist techniques by heart, reaching the Minor Accomplishment stage.]

[Year 6, you work even harder, attempting to grasp the "Rock Steadiness Intent" within the martial art.]

[Year 7, you feel your physique strengthen, seemingly reaching the peak of ordinary people, capable of fighting ten men alone, not a problem.]

[Note: Ten refers to ten ordinary people.]

[Year 8, after reaching Minor Accomplishment, your fist techniques make no further progress, seemingly hitting a bottleneck.]

[You still haven't grasped the "Rock Steadiness Intent" within the fist technique.]

[You stop cultivating and begin to wonder if you're heading in the wrong direction.]

[Year 9, you have an epiphany.]

[You begin to imagine yourself in a surging great river, practicing your fist techniques alongside the rocks in the river, resisting the current.]

[Final Day, you have a life-or-death realization and let go of everything.]

[In the torrent of your imagination, your fist techniques move like solid rock, and you break through to the Great Accomplishment stage of the fist technique.]

As the simulation ended!

The realm of Great Accomplishment and the experience poured into Jiang Yi's body.

It was as if he had truly cultivated this martial art!

It took a full nine years!

His body trembled violently, and an extremely powerful force was rapidly born within him.

A tingling sensation spread from his fists!

With a slight exertion, a thin shell like a silkworm cocoon formed on the surface--

On the other side!

Seeing the blood-red, furious gaze in Jiang Yi's eyes, the bandit holding the whip inexplicably felt a chill.

As if he were scared!

He trembled involuntarily and took a few steps back!

Soon, he reacted!

Who was he? He was a bandit who killed without blinking, here to watch over these lowly slaves.

A slave he considered worse than pigs and dogs dared to look at him like that!

It even startled him!

Could he endure this?

Feeling that he had lost face, the bandit became enraged, and a brutal ferocity surged within him.

"Damn it, you dare to defy me!"

"Today, I'm going to beat you, you lowly slave, to death!"

The whip in the bandit's hand was raised high once more, and he swung it fiercely at Jiang Yi again.

This time!

The whip didn't land on Jiang Yi's back. Instead, it was grabbed by his outstretched right hand.

It sounded like hitting a cowhide drum, emitting a dull thud.

"You!"

The bandit was shocked!

He felt that this thin and weak slave before him seemed to have become somewhat different.

At this moment, a powerful force surged from the other end.

Before he could even think about letting go of the whip!

He was already lifted into the air!

On the other end, Jiang Yi stomped his right foot hard on the ground!

With a "thump," dust billowed, and he shot out like a cannonball.

His five fingers closed, forming a tight fist!

The strength of his entire body surged, rapidly gathering on his fist.

His strike was like a rock flying through the sky, shattering the air!

With just one punch, the bandit's head was forcefully driven into his own abdomen.

It was shattered within, and blood gushed out!

[Killed 1 ordinary enemy, plundered 5 years of lifespan]

After this strike!

The pent-up frustration in Jiang Yi's heart dissipated somewhat.

But this was not enough!

Far from enough!

How could one bandit be enough to pay for the lives of his villagers from Jiang Family Village?

He wanted to kill, to kill them all!

He wanted them to pay their blood debts!

Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon the remaining two bandits guarding the area.

His gaze was terrifying!

The blood in his eyes had not yet faded, and a murderous aura flowed out.

The two men's livers and gallbladders split with fear. Coupled with the gruesome death of their companion right before them.

The tragic state of his death deeply stimulated their eyes!

Was this still the mining slave they casually beat and scolded?

The situation was completely wrong!

They were supposed to be a flock of lambs to be slaughtered, so how did such a terrifying demon-sheep appear?

Driven by instinctive fear, the two bandits immediately turned and fled.

This was not something they could handle!

Such terrifying skills were only possessed by their several great chieftains.

As for them, they were just small fry!

"Trying to run?"

Jiang Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a cold sneer!
