I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The wind swept away the remaining clouds.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Shen Tian's smile gradually faded.

Instead, there was an undisguised excitement.

"Who says that those in the mortal realm are necessarily slow?"

Shen Tian took a deep breath.

A slight thought.

The pale blue system panel, visible only to him, instantly appeared on his retina.

[Host: Shen Tian]

[Mental Strength: 100 (First-Rank Mentalist)]

[Martial arts realm: mortal body (20/20)]

[Kill Value: 260]

[Talent: Innate Blade Bones - Green]

[Currently available loot: Agile Body - Green (Requires 100 Kill Points)]

Without any hesitation.

Shen Tian silently recited in his heart.

"plunder!"

boom!

The previously calm kill count plummeted instantly, dropping from 260 points to 160 points.

at the same time.

A refreshingly cool current of air appeared out of nowhere throughout Shen Tian's body.

If the feeling evoked by "Born with Blade Bones" is one of heaviness, dominance, and indestructibility.

Then this newborn power is lightness.

Extreme lightness.

Shen Tian felt as if his bones had turned into hollow bird bones, and his muscle lines had become more slender and toned.

The body, which was originally heavy, now felt as light as a feather.

Even just by lightly tiptoeing, one has the illusion of floating.

[Ding! Looting successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring a new talent: Light and Agile Body - Green]

Shen Tian immediately clicked on the entry details.

A few lines of pale gold text popped up.

[Talent: Light and Agile Body]

[Grade: Green]

[Entry Description: Your weight doesn't seem to have decreased, but the feeling of heaviness in your body has disappeared. You can weave through dense traffic without getting a single leaf on you. As long as you run fast enough, death can't catch you.]

[Passive Effect: Light as a Feather. The host's base movement speed and agility are increased by 100%, body flexibility is greatly enhanced, and jump height is doubled.]

[Active Effect: Wind Control. Consumes stamina to forcibly control the surrounding airflow. Movement speed increases by 100% for a short period, and allows for short-distance low-altitude gliding and double jumps.]

"Holy crap..."

Shen Tian couldn't help but swear.

This effect is simply outrageous!

The passive bonus of 100% movement speed is one thing, but the active effect "Wind Control" doubles it?

Can you even double jump?

Isn't this just the real-life version of light-footed kung fu?

No wonder that Wind Demon Wolf could still unleash such terrifying speed even with a broken leg.

So that's what talent was backing me up!

"Those 100 kill points were totally worth it!"

Shen Tian clenched his fist, feeling the eager power within his body.

He looked into the distance.

The three plumes of smoke were almost disappearing from sight.

"Let me see just how powerful this green talent really is."

Shen Tian squatted down slightly.

The starting posture was very casual.

next second.

The thigh muscles suddenly tensed up.

Bang!

The ground beneath our feet did not crack open as it had before.

in contrast.

Shen Tian was like a bird launched into the air, gliding away silently.

Yes, it's slippery.

With toes barely touching the ground, his movements were as swift as lightning.

The sound of the wind in his ears was no longer an obstacle, but rather like invisible hands pushing him forward.

The scenery rushed past.

Shen Tian felt that the world before his eyes had become blurry.

This speed...

At least 100 kilometers per hour!

And it's not tiring at all!

In the past, when I ran at full speed, I relied on brute force to push myself, and every step felt like I was slamming the ground.

Things are different now.

With each step, the body naturally uses the momentum to glide along with the flow of the wind.

It's as smooth as ice skating.

"Cool!"

Shen Tian couldn't help but let out a low growl.

Active effect – [Wind Control], activate!

hum!

The air around him seemed to come alive instantly.

Shen Tian's speed increased again.

His entire body transformed into a bluish-green afterimage, leaving a straight line across the wilderness.

……

Five kilometers ahead.

As Afei maintained a steady pace, he glanced back at the road.

Behind me was nothing but empty space, only endless yellow sand.

"Tsk."

Ah Fei chewed his gum and said somewhat boredly:

"Captain, are we running too fast?"

"That kid is a bit strange, but he hasn't reached the rank yet."

"The maximum speed of a mortal is only thirty kilometers per hour at most."

"Our speed is almost up to 70."

"By the time we get there, that kid will probably still be eating dust on the way."

Reggae ran alongside, head down, his voice like a deep bass cannon:

"This is the captain's intention."

"We need to get back before the cliff closes."

Ah Fei pursed his lips.

"We're bullying a child."

"How about we slow it down a bit? Even down to sixty?"

"Otherwise, by the time we get to the outpost, that kid will probably have to crawl over, and we'll have to call an ambulance for him."

Lin Qingyi, who had been running at the very front, did not turn around.

Her breathing was steady and long, without the slightest sign of disorder.

"Need not."

Lin Qingyi's voice carried on the wind, still cold and desolate.

"The Po Jun Division does not support useless people."

"If he doesn't even have this much stamina, I will reassess his eligibility for the team."

"We'll see."

"It's good for him to suffer a little."

"So that people won't think they'll be invincible just because they killed a Wind Demon Wolf."

"Young man, being too arrogant is not a good thing."

Afei shrugged:

"Fine, you're the captain, so you call the shots."

He was about to turn around and keep running.

Sudden.

Out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something strange.

On the horizon behind us.

A wisp of green smoke was approaching at an extremely terrifying speed.

What is that...?

Sandstorm?

Or is it some blind monster?

Ah Fei squinted, trying to see more clearly.

But next second.

His pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.

"Holy crap?!"

A strange scream escaped his lips.

The reggae in front frowned:

"What's wrong? Why are you so easily startled?"

"There are people behind us! There are people behind us!"

Ah Fei pointed behind him, his fingers trembling.

Reggae instinctively turned around.

then.

He was stunned.

That's not some kind of blue smoke.

That's clearly one person!

A person sprinting at full speed!

That's... Shen Tian?!

How is that possible!

Reggae glanced at the speedometer on his tactical watch: 72 km/h.

Even a second-tier martial artist would have to unleash their full power to maintain this speed.

But that kid behind him...

While the two were still in a daze...

The figure had closed to within a hundred meters.

fast!

too fast!

The visual impact of that speed was like a runaway sports car crashing into us.

"This is supposed to be the Mortal Realm?"

The chewing gum in Afei's mouth fell out.

Before he could even close his jaw.

call--!

A gust of wind howled past.

The figure did not slow down, but instead swept past them.

The speed was so fast that the airflow it created messed up Ah Fei's hairstyle.

Followed by.

The figure suddenly stopped abruptly.

There were no messy braking marks, nor any staggering caused by inertia.

He landed lightly beside Lin Qingyi.

Like a fallen leaf, it landed precisely in the designated spot.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Only the wind was still howling in the wilderness.

Lin Qingyi, who was running at full speed, suddenly stopped.

She turned her head, and her unchanging, icy eyes were now filled with astonishment.

Beside her.

Shen Tianzheng stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a relaxed expression.

Without blushing or panting.
