As Xiao Ming stepped out of the wooden house, he felt a little unsteady. It wasn't because of the transmigration but because of the sudden increase in his strength.
You see, as one's realm increases, it becomes much harder to progress. Xiao Ming had jumped from the 2nd layer of Core Formation to the 5th layer of the Golden Core. This was a huge leap in strength.
Normally, with his previous qualifications, it would have taken Xiao Ming 15 to 20 years of hard work to reach the 5th layer of Golden Core. But with the help of the Devil's Heart, he had saved all that time.
"In addition to my realm, my thinking and understanding seem to have improved as well. If we only talk about understanding, I'm afraid I won't fall behind the core disciples and young masters of the sect," Xiao Ming thought.
The core disciples of the Divine Blue Sect were all extremely talented and had bright futures ahead. Most of them were at the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation stage. Xiao Ming could only compare himself to them in terms of understanding, but he wasn't discouraged. With the help of the system, he was sure to surpass them all.
"But the most important thing right now is to take back what my father left for me and take revenge for the poor Xiao Ming who was murdered," he said coldly, his eyes turning sharp.
After merging the memories, Xiao Ming felt nothing but hatred for the person who had caused him harm. Taking back what was rightfully his could also change the storyline and give him back the protagonist's chance.
Thinking about this, he quickened his pace.
The Divine Blue Sect covered a vast area of the Celestial Jade Domain. Just the area where the outer disciples lived and trained stretched over thousands of kilometers.
Xiao Ming flew towards the Peak of Soaring Skies. After his breakthrough, his speed increased dramatically.
The Peak of Soaring Skies was where Chen Han, the person who had attacked and severely injured Xiao Ming, lived.
Soon, the Peak of Soaring Skies appeared in front of him, towering over 10,000 meters high, reaching into the sky like a fairyland. There were many caves built into the mountainside for disciples to practice.
As Xiao Ming landed, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Isn't that Xiao Ming? Why is he here? Didn't Chen Han beat him badly yesterday? How is he still fine?"
"That's right. Yesterday, Chen Han ruthlessly attacked him. He was definitely seriously injured."
"Yes, with those injuries, I thought he would definitely die. But how is he fine?"
"Well, it's good if he's okay, but why would he come back to get beaten again?"
The people around him were talking and making fun of Xiao Ming, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
As people mocked him, a group of disciples following Chen Han appeared.
"Well, look who's here. Isn't this our Xiao Ming? I thought you were dead, but unexpectedly, you're still alive."
"Or could it be that out of pity, one of the inner female disciples gave you life-saving medicine?"
Chen Han made sarcastic remarks, but he couldn't hide the jealousy in his voice. Yes, he was jealous of Xiao Ming, not because of his talent, but because of his outstanding appearance, which had won him the favor of many outer and inner female disciples. This was also the reason he had beaten him up.
"Xiao Ming, come under me and become my subordinate, and I will let you live. Otherwise... Hehe..." Chen Han said with a playful expression, wanting to humiliate Xiao Ming and show the girls that he, Chen Han, was a better choice than this loser.
But Xiao Ming didn't waste time talking. He made his move.
Bang!
Boom!
A series of bursts of air were heard as Xiao Ming acted. In an instant, more than half of Chen Han's group had been eliminated. Some had their hands broken, while others had their bodies exploded.
Xiao Ming didn't stop. He released his 5th layer Golden Core aura, and as soon as the aura spread, Chen Han and the remaining members of his group felt as if they were being pressed down by a mountain. Their legs trembled involuntarily.
"Impossible... Impossible! You trash, how could you be so strong?" Chen Han's voice trembled in shock.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. They stopped moving as if turned into statues. What they had just witnessed was unbelievable.
Soon, the smell of blood filled the air, making them realize that this wasn't a dream, but reality.
"What's happening? I just saw Xiao Ming make a move, and half of Chen Han's group is dead."
"How is this possible? Chen Han and his group are all at least 6th level of Core Formation, and Chen Han himself is only at the 2nd stage. How could this happen?"
The surrounding people started talking in shock. But soon, something even more shocking happened.
Xiao Ming released his aura, and the pressure increased even more, terrifying everyone.
"This aura... It's Golden Core stage! Could it be that Xiao Ming is actually a Golden Core cultivator?"
"You... You loser! What did you do? How could you become a Golden Core?" Chen Han stammered.
But Xiao Ming didn't pay any attention to him. He slowly walked toward Chen Han. As he approached, the pressure from his aura grew stronger, and by the time he reached Chen Han, the man had already knelt down.
Xiao Ming didn't say a word. He simply stepped on Chen Han's head, pressing it into the ground with just a little force, looking down at him coldly.
Feeling his head being crushed, Chen Han started to beg for mercy.
"Xiao Ming, let me go. My brother is an inner disciple. If you kill me, he won't let you go."
"He's at the 9th stage of Golden Core. If you let me go, I'll forget everything and we'll go our separate ways."
Chen Han's eyes gleamed with cunning. He had decided that if Xiao Ming let him go, he would ask his brother to kill Xiao Ming.
But to his surprise, Xiao Ming didn't flinch. The pressure on his head only increased.
"You... You actually dare to kill me? My brother will kill you and your entire family!" Chen Han began threatening.
Xiao Ming remained silent. He didn't answer. He just kept increasing the pressure.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed in the silent training field.
Then, a devilish whisper echoed in Chen Han's ear.
"I don't have time to waste on a stepping stones like you so Happy journey."
Thud!
Xiao Ming suddenly released all the pressure, and the leg that had been on Chen Han's skull made a hole in the ground. As for what happened to Chen Han, there was no need to guess. His entire body exploded, and the atmosphere around them became drenched in blood.
The people around them were stunned. Their expressions towards Xiao Ming completely changed. The sarcastic looks turned into fear, and the pity turned into admiration.
Looking at Xiao Ming, who stood still in the bloody atmosphere, it felt like they were looking at a demon.
Xiao Ming stood there, feeling as though something inside him had changed. He now felt complete control over his emotions and mind.
"Maybe the obsession of the previous guy has faded," he thought.
