Alright, **readers**, let's get one thing straight.
- I've been a **monster** from the moment I was born.
- I've **crushed geniuses**, shattered expectations, and **dominated** the elite training grounds.
- But now?
I was about to learn something even more terrifying.
**Control. Precision. Efficiency.**
Because let's be honest—**mindless destruction** is fun.
But **true power**?
That comes from knowing **exactly when and how to strike.**

### **Breaking Rocks Until I Break Myself**
Luo Cheng's insane training continued.
For **three days straight**, I was forced to break **boulders**.
Not **smash them**. Not **obliterate them**.
Just **crack** them.
Over and over. **A thousand times.**
By the **300th attempt**, my hands were **shaking.**
By the **500th**, my body was **screaming.**
By the **700th**, I was **seeing double.**
And by the **900th**?
I was **on the verge of collapse.**

### **The System Finally Speaks**
Just when I thought I was about to **pass out**, the **Evil System** chimed in.
**[Host has endured three days of extreme training. No cheating. No shortcuts.]**
**[Host has displayed absolute willpower.]**
**[+1 Evil Point.]**
…Wait.
**I just got a full 1 point? For training?!**
I smirked. **Guess even the system respects true suffering.**
But before I could celebrate—
Luo Cheng clapped his hands. "Good. Now that you understand control, we move to the next lesson."
I groaned. "There's more?"
He chuckled. "We've only just begun."

### **Lesson Two: The Flow of Earth**
Luo Cheng sat down cross-legged and motioned for me to do the same.
I raised an eyebrow. "Meditation? Seriously?"
He smirked. "Earth is not just destruction. It is **foundation, stability, and adaptability.** If you cannot understand that, you will never truly master it."
I scoffed. "I don't need to understand earth. I just need to punch things really hard."
He shook his head. "That's why your **Earth Shattering Hand** drains you so quickly. You force the earth to obey you. But if you listen to it—if you connect with it—you can achieve **twice the power with half the effort.**"
I frowned.
That… actually made sense.

### **The Moment of Awakening**
Reluctantly, I sat down and placed my hands on the ground.
At first, **nothing happened.**
The earth was just **cold stone beneath my fingers.**
But then… I started to **feel it.**
The slow, steady **pulse of the ground beneath me.**
A constant, **unshakable force.**
**Unmovable. Eternal. Absolute.**
For the first time, I wasn't trying to **dominate** the earth.
I was trying to **understand it.**
And the moment I did—
**BOOM.**
A **pulse of energy** surged through me, flowing **effortlessly** instead of forcefully.
My breathing steadied. My exhaustion faded.
And for the first time…
**The Earth Shattering Hand didn't drain me at all.**

### **The Elders Watch in Awe**
Unbeknownst to me, a few **Luo Family Elders** had gathered to observe my training.
Luo Jian whispered, "Did… did he just master the earth's flow in three days?"
Luo Bai smirked. "No. He didn't just master it. He **became one with it.**"
Even my **father**, Luo Tian, watched with an unreadable expression.
But I didn't care.
Because at that moment—
I knew I had **unlocked something far greater than raw strength.**
And the world was about to learn just how terrifying that could be.

### **Ending Hook**
Luo Zin has taken his **first step toward true mastery.**
But what will he do with this newfound power?
