In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

"Don't miss out! A freshly baked walkthrough guide—not 998, not 98, just one Spirit Wall, and you can take the walkthrough tips home with you—"

Shi Geng's clear and youthful voice drifted through the initial tunnel. Shi Wan covered her face and ran far away, afraid of being implicated by Shi Geng.

The group of cultivators who had just arrived from the blessed land and were planning to challenge the initial passage all stopped and their eyes fell on Shi Gen.

Unable to contain his curiosity, a cultivator stepped forward, looked him up and down, and asked, "Young man, is your strategy guide really reliable? Don't tell me it's just a fake to fool people."

Upon seeing guests, Shi Geng's face immediately broke into a bright smile. He raised his hand and waved the brocade pouch in his hand: "Please rest assured, everyone. I am 'Fellow Daoist, Please Wait.' One essence wall in exchange for one method of breaking through to the Dao. It's a sure profit. Would you like to purchase one?"

Discussions arose among the crowd, and many were eager to participate, taking out their precious stones to exchange for the strategy guide. Soon, the small stall was bustling with people.

Before long, the cultivators, having obtained the guide, arrived at the entrance of the passage in high spirits.

"Let me go first."

A middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves and came to the front of the passage. He stood still, his muscles bulging. He neither used any special techniques nor summoned any magical treasures. He simply used the strength of his body to punch the blue stone.

A sharp cracking sound suddenly rang out.

The challenger's face instantly turned purplish-red, and he cried out in pain, clutching his bent wrist. His scream was particularly piercing in the passageway.

The surrounding crowd was immediately in an uproar upon seeing this, and the expressions of the cultivators who had been full of anticipation all changed.

"What happened?"

"This method won't work at all! Could we have been tricked by this kid?"

Several impatient cultivators immediately turned around and angrily walked towards Shi Heng's stall.

"Damn it! Your method is useless! Give me back my essence! Otherwise, you'll pay for this!"

The defeated challenger clutched his severed hand, veins bulging on his forehead, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Shi Heng, his anger almost bursting forth.

Shi Geng sat lazily on the ground, not even lifting his eyelids. He glanced indifferently at the other person's drooping injured hand: "I've already given you the method. It's your own weak foundation that prevented you from breaking through. I'm just a small business owner, no returns."

These words ignited the other party's anger. He roared and threw a punch with a sharp gust of wind, aiming straight for Shi Heng's face.

Shi Geng glanced at his opponent, then swayed slightly to easily dodge the punch, while his fingertips flicked towards the opponent's forearm meridians like a blur.

The challenger groaned, his remaining arm instantly went numb and powerless, his blood and energy collapsed, and he staggered backward, falling heavily to the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

"You struck first, everyone here saw it. Your punch caused me internal injuries, so it's not unreasonable for you to pay for some medicine, right? It's not much, ten spirit stones will suffice."

石亘这番话，直气得中年汉子面色涨成紫红。望着他那副嬉皮笑脸、油滑欠揍的模样，胸中怒火轰然暴涨。

"Damn brat! Prepare to die!"

The middle-aged man roared fiercely, no longer holding back any of his strength, and directly activated his precious technique.

As a powerful expert in the Cave Heaven Realm, he was publicly mocked and extorted by a junior. If this matter were to spread, he would have no face to stand in the future. He immediately harbored murderous intent, and his powerful blood and qi surged out, rushing straight towards Shi Geng.

Before he finished speaking, a massive tiger shadow suddenly materialized behind the middle-aged man, its fierce eyes gleaming and its chilling aura sweeping across the surroundings.

Although the rules of the Void God Realm suppressed his strength to the Blood Moving Realm, his years of cultivation and understanding of the treasure techniques and runes far surpassed those of cultivators in the Blood Moving Realm. As the runes flowed, a fierce aura swept over him.

Faced with the onslaught, Shi Geng's eyelids did not tremble in the slightest.

He casually raised his hand and threw a simple punch. The powerful force of the punch struck the tiger shadow directly, instantly shattering the illusory image of the precious technique. The runes scattered across the sky also vanished into thin air.

The middle-aged man froze on the spot, his mind reeling. Before he could recover, a small, delicate fist had already come flying through the air, aimed straight at his face.

He hurriedly tried to dodge to the side, but the punch was faster than he could have imagined and landed heavily on his face.

With a buzzing sound, he felt a ringing in his head, his vision went black, stars flashed before his eyes, and he staggered backward.

Shi Geng slowly withdrew his fist, and with fluid movements, searched the middle-aged man's body, taking away all the valuables, including his essence.

After looting, Shi Geng smiled with satisfaction. He picked up the limp middle-aged man with one hand and tossed him aside as if discarding a burden, throwing him straight into an open field.

The area was already littered with people lying around, all with swollen, black eyes. When they saw another colleague being thrown over, their anger subsided, and a hint of schadenfreude even crept in.

The surrounding cultivators were stunned, and for a moment the entire place fell silent. No one had expected that this brat would be so ruthless, and more importantly, so powerful.

After a brief silence, a murmur arose from the crowd, and apprehension was written on everyone's face.

The group of cultivators who had just been tricked and were about to settle scores with Shi Geng saw this and froze, taking a barely perceptible step back, but the anger in their chests was still hard to calm down.

The group exchanged glances, and one of them suddenly shouted, "This brat is awful! Everyone, let's go and teach him a lesson for his elders!"

Before the shout had even faded, more than a dozen cultivators launched a simultaneous attack, swarming in from all directions.

Fists and kicks, magical techniques, and various runes flashed, and a dense barrage of attacks enveloped Shi Geng, clearly intending to subdue him by relying on their superior numbers.

Shi Geng glanced up and a playful smile appeared on his lips. Instead of dodging, he firmly planted his feet on the ground and moved nimbly amidst the barrage of attacks.

His movements were as fast as lightning, his palms flashing. With each raise of his hand and each step, he accurately blocked the incoming attack and launched a counterattack.

Banging sounds rang out one after another, and screams echoed one after another.

In just a short while, the people at the front were hit one after another, falling to the ground in all directions.

Although the remaining people were terrified, they still gritted their teeth and attacked together, unleashing a barrage of various magical techniques upon Shi Gen.

But what awaited them was always those seemingly immature yet incredibly powerful fists. With a whoosh of the fists, the light of their magical techniques shattered, and screams of agony followed one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people who had rushed forward all fell to the ground, lying haphazardly in the wilderness.

Many people not only had bruises and swelling on their faces, but their clothes were also stripped off, leaving them with only what covered their bodies. They stared at the sky of the illusory god realm with expressions of utter despair.

This scene instantly woke up the cultivators behind who wanted to settle scores with Shi Geng. It was just a piece of spirit jade, they thought, just consider it feeding a dog. They didn't want to be stripped naked and thrown into the wild in public.
