[Your punch caused quite a commotion; within moments, several figures darted out from the town.]

"Erniu, what happened?"

Before the person even arrived, a strong, resonant voice rang out.

[The words had barely left your mouth when three burly men landed in front of you.]

The leader was nearly two meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. His eyes, like copper bells, first swept over the deep ditch on the ground, then settled on Erniu's half-bald head.

[Finally, I looked at you, who had such an innocent-looking face.]

"Did you do this?"

【"Um."】

You nodded confidently.

He said I needed to prove my abilities.

A moment of silence hung in the air, and the man named Erniu's face flushed crimson.

The burly man at the head suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay!"

He said "good" three times in a row, and stretched out his large, fan-like hand, seemingly wanting to pat you on the shoulder twice to show his appreciation. But halfway through, he looked down at the top of your head and sheepishly withdrew his hand.

"Are you here to participate in the Tianheng Sect's assessment?"

You crossed your arms and nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, the burly man wasn't annoyed; after all, it's normal for a master to have a temper.

"That's perfect. The disciples of the Tianheng Sect are currently conducting their assessment in our town. You can participate right here."

Seeing the other person's excited expression, your eyes flickered slightly. Why would they be so overly attentive? Could they possibly gain something from this?

So you tentatively reached out your little hand.

"You have to pay!"

The burly man's smile froze, his expression shifted several times, and finally he nodded firmly.

【"make a deal!"】

A moment later, you were surrounded by a group of people and led to an open space in the center of the town. You were carrying a storage container and happily counting the spirit stones.

Although a quick scan with divine sense would reveal the number, and although this amount of spirit stones was truly insignificant.

But the joy of counting money is real, and this pleasure of getting something for nothing comes from the heart.

"Who is that little girl following the mayor?"

"Could she be his illegitimate daughter?"

"It's hard to say. The mayor seems serious most of the time, but actually..."

You glanced up and sighed inwardly; the disciples of the Tianheng Sect were indeed all cut from the same cloth.

Beside a blue stone tablet stood two burly disciples.

One man and one woman.

[Hmm... Although they are different genders, their broad shoulders and thick waists, and their bright, sparkling eyes are almost identical.]

It's as if the first lesson at the Tianheng Sect isn't cultivation, but rather muscle building.

[This is most likely due to the cultivation method itself.]

You secretly rejoiced, and also admired Xiao Fanzi's understanding; he knew that if you had mastered that skill, he would be the one who suffered.

"Who is this?"

As the town mayor led you to the stone tablet, one of the disciples spoke up to ask a question.

"She's my distant niece. She's returned from her cultivation journey and has achieved some success. She wants to join the Tianheng Sect."

"That's it?"

The female disciple crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping from your head to your toes, her disdain undisguised.

[Tsk~ So body cultivators have syndromes too?]

[Too lazy to waste words, you flashed to the front of the stone tablet and unleashed a punch without hesitation.]

【"Bang!"】

After a soft thud, the blue stone tablet remained completely still, as if the punch had had absolutely no effect.

The female disciple's lips were about to curl into a smile, but the next moment her eyes widened in shock.

[Click!]

A crack appeared at the point where your fist struck, then spread outwards like a spiderweb, covering the entire surface of the monument in the blink of an eye.

【"Click click click~!"】

[This was immediately followed by a series of cracking sounds.]

[Boom!]

Moments later, the stone tablet shattered with a deafening roar, turning into a pile of rocks that crashed heavily to the ground, causing the earth beneath everyone's feet to tremble.

Amidst the swirling dust, you stood with your fist clenched, your expression perfectly calm, as if you had merely casually crushed a piece of tofu.

"The force-measuring monument is shattered..."

The female disciple stared blankly at the scene, repeatedly murmuring the same phrase.

[It's not surprising that she acted this way, after all, this cyan stone tablet was made of a material called Xuanqing stone, which is extremely sturdy.]

[Within the sect, even senior brothers at the second level of Body Refinement rarely manage to break it, let alone do so so easily.]

As pure body cultivators, both disciples understood that achieving brute force and using minimal force to overcome great strength are two completely different concepts.

This woman... is a master!

"Haha, congratulations on passing the test, senior sister!"

The male disciple reacted extremely quickly; his ability to change his expression was truly exceptional.

Just moments ago she was observing coldly, but now her face is all smiles, and her address of "Senior Sister" sounds completely natural.

The female disciple glared at him disdainfully, then her attitude completely changed.

"Senior sister, hurry and come with me to the flying boat. You must be exhausted from the journey."

【Forehead...】

You stood there, stunned, for a moment.

[As I said before, I thought the disciples of the Hehuan Sect and the Xuantian Sword Sect were already outrageous enough, but I didn't expect the disciples of the Tianheng Sect to be even more skilled.]

However, you've always admired people who are pragmatic.

Without further ado, he merely raised his chin slightly, glanced down at them condescendingly, and nodded gently.

[Exhibiting the demeanor of a master.]

【...】

Months later, the flying boat pierced through the clouds, and the entire Tianheng Sect slowly unfolded before your eyes.

Contrary to your expectations, there are no towering, precipitous peaks here, nor are there ethereal palaces with numerous pavilions.

As far as the eye could see, there was a vast mountain range, as if I had stumbled upon some wild and untamed land.

But as the airship drew closer, it became clear that the exposed rock walls were covered with a dense array of fist and palm prints.

Various cave dwellings built into the mountainside gradually came into view, their construction extremely rough, as if they hadn't been built by craftsmen, but rather smashed out by fists.

Yes, it deserves the title of "body cultivator".

Just as you were searching for the location of the main peak, a figure flew backward from a distant mountain peak at an extremely fast speed, carrying a sharp burst of energy, and headed straight for the flying boat.

Judging by the situation, if they were to collide, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.

Meanwhile, aboard the flying boat, the disciples of the Tianheng Sect skillfully led the new disciples off the boat.

The female disciple standing beside you suddenly changed her expression and instinctively reached out to pull you to safety, but she grasped at empty air.

Your figure suddenly appeared, standing in front of the airship, your clothes fluttering as you threw a punch to meet the attack.

【"Bang!"】

[A dull, loud thud followed.]

The fist collided head-on with the figure, the shockwave exploding outwards, sending the flying boat flying dozens of feet away.

The figure flew back at an even faster speed than it had come, tracing an arc through the air before crashing into the training ground halfway up the mountain, creating a deep crater.

You retracted your fist and stood still, your body firmly planted in mid-air, completely unmoved.
