Su Tu's palm casually covered Wang Gao's head, his voice indifferent, his gaze cold.

Yet as the voice fell into Wang Gao's ears, he felt a chill spreading across his entire body, as if frost rose within his blood vessels, making his blood freeze, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

The feedback from Super Intuition had stopped, the looming sense of death in his mind had vanished.

This did not mean he had escaped fear.

But rather, when true fear descends, all warnings collapse and flood.

Then, silently awaiting total annihilation.

Just as Su Tu's palm started to exert a slight force, the terrifying power on the verge of erupting.

Suddenly, an astonishing expression erupted from Wang Gao's dull eyes.

He had broken through the fear brought by Super Intuition, overcoming his own heart demon!

"No!! No!!! No!!! I am the Wang Family prodigy, born with Celestial Eye, meant to be one of the stars of this era!"

"I will not fall here; all is a nightmare, all are heart demons!"

"That's right, you aren't that strong at all, you're just sent by heaven to test me, it must be so! It must be so!!"

"I am the little True Monarch, to have the name of True Monarch, shining throughout all the heavens!!"

Wang Gao's heart roared, it raged.

Snap~

Within his body, a crisp sound suddenly rang out, the sound of unlocking a body lock, the seventh body lock that had never been opened... opened!!

Golden light instantly traveled through his body's meridians, waving, his aura which had been weakened by fear also skyrocketed rapidly.

"Hahaha!!! Since ancient times, prodigies endure hardships, Su Tu, I admit your power exceeds my imagination, but you are just another obstacle on my imperial path!!"

Wang Gao burst with astonishing color, he suddenly raised his hand, a single hand swiftly striking with an eagle move, intending to halt Su Tu's hand.

The Celestial Eye at his forehead sparkled brilliantly, the scorching light was ready to erupt.

"I have ascended amongst the top celestial talents, you cannot kill me!!"

He roared.

In today's martial arts dao, only those who break body locks are qualified to be called celestial talents; if one does not open body locks, no matter how talented, or how extraordinary their techniques, they can only be termed a genius, not a celestial talent.

From the first opener, the limit of body locks had been set at thirteen, the current martial arts limit.

Those who open body locks are called celestial talents; the sixth body lock is a threshold, blocking countless celestial talents; if one can cross the sixth body lock and open the seventh, they are deemed top-tier celestial talents.

Further, opening the tenth body lock, they are termed unparalleled celestial talents; after the tenth, each step is like ascending to heaven, each path seems like the sky dome.

The world cannot evaluate this level of celestial talent, those capable of opening eleven body locks, or even twelve, thirteen are called martial arts ultimate seers.

If they do not fall, in the future, becoming a Daoist Master is just their starting point!

Wang Gao had been stuck at the sixth body lock, unable to break through.

Unexpectedly, he now used that monumental fear to shatter his shackles, opening the seventh body lock.

Transforming from ordinary celestial talent to top-tier celestial talent.

His strength surged, his confidence renewed, though he still could not fathom Su Tu's power, he was born with a confidence to survive under Su Tu's hand.

An eagle strikes the sky, a scorching light in his eyes!!

Wang Gao almost instantaneously erupted into action upon breaking through his realm.

He thought he would see Su Tu surprised, shocked, but to his view remained only Su Tu's indifferent, cold visage.

"What are you babbling on about? Simply annoying."

Su Tu spoke indifferently.

The palm looming over exerted no haste, directly gripping Wang Gao's left hand, unimaginable brute force erupted instantly.

Snap!!

The eagle fell on the spot, arm shattered, fingers split!

In the instant of collision with Su Tu, his entire arm was ruined, Wang Gao froze entirely, even the intense pain failed to awaken him.

How can it be??

He had clearly broken through the battle, transformed into top-tier celestial talent, the seventh body lock open, True Qi surging, yet why before this person, he still appeared so feeble??

He couldn't comprehend, couldn't understand, but next, the severe pain from his brow interrupted all his thoughts.

"Ahhhh!!!"

It was a pain indescribable by words, like organically extracting bones from flesh.

Streams of blood dripped from his forehead.

Su Tu now held a small prism stone, its scorching light already dimmed, devoid of initial brilliance, as if a mere stone picked from the roadside.

He had cruelly gouged out the Celestial Eye that Wang Gao had been proud of.

"What was this supposed to be, anything remarkable?"

"A rotten stone, dare to pretend against a True Monarch?" His hand casually crushing the stone, obliterating the Celestial Eye.

In the next moment, Wang Gao collapsed entirely, his body uncontrollably falling backward.

The Celestial Eye was his anomaly, tied to heart and spirit; Celestial Eye destroyed, heart and spirit annihilated, True Spirit shattered.

Breaking through in battle, finally entering the top celestial talent sequence, the little True Monarch Wang Gao, before Su Tu was like a pesky ant... destroyed effortlessly...

In the extinguishing final moment, Wang Gao's heart held a single question.

It was, how many body locks had this seemingly demon-like youth opened.

Eleven? Or twelve, or even having the qualification to glimpse the martial arts ultimate... the thirteenth body lock.

Drip~

Sadly, until the end, he never knew any of this.

[You killed a top-tier celestial talent, Fighting Proficiency +200, Body Strengthening Proficiency +100]

[Fighting (High Tier): 2210/5000]

[Strengthen Body (High Tier): 2160/5000]

"I've overtaken!"

Su Tu looked at the system prompt; his fighting proficiency had surpassed his body strengthening, which made sense given the constant battles since entering the training camp. The fighting proficiency naturally increased rapidly.

Moreover, seeing the new prompts, Su Tu chuckled.

A top-class prodigy is indeed exceptional; the proficiency provided is remarkably high.

If Wang Gao knew that his breakthrough to top prodigy meant providing Su Tu with more proficiency points, he'd probably choose to hold back from breaking through.

Li Hu had once explained to Su Tu the categorization of prodigy levels.

But now, Su Tu was a bit confused about what level of prodigy he should be classified as.

From the Eleven Body Locks to Thirteen Body Locks, they are considered prodigies capable of glimpsing the ultimate martial arts.

Yet now, having opened the Fourteenth Body Lock and not reached his limit, how should he be rated?

Thirteen Body Locks reveal martial arts, but having surpassed every past extreme, could he be called...

From now on, martial arts see me!!

The thought was a bit too arrogant; Su Tu just casually entertained it before dispersing the idea.

At this moment, Rama looked at the fallen Wang Gao and couldn't help but shout.

"Su Tu, I told you to leave him for me!"

"Why should I listen to you?"

Su Tu glanced at Rama.

"Hmm... makes sense, he didn't beat you, so how to deal with him is indeed your matter."

Surprisingly, Rama seriously considered Su Tu's retort.

This surprised Su Tu; he always thought of Rama as somewhat childish.

It turns out this guy is a bit more sensible than he imagined, though... the childishness is hard to deal with.

After the discussion between the two, hearing about Chen Daowen's actions in the training camp, Rama felt furious.

After all, some of the D-level and F-level martial artists they oppressed were local martial artists.

Afterward, he informed Su Tu of the dispute with Wang Gao.

"I owe you a favor; as repayment, I can tell you the location of a treasure!"

Rama spoke with a serious tone.

Being an extreme racist, Su Tu, in his view, was a fellow of his race, more excellent and stronger, hence why he subdued his arrogant demeanor in front of Su Tu.

To him, Su Tu's excellence and strength represented the excellence and strength of the Ancestral Star Human Race.

"What treasure?"

Su Tu was quite curious. Setting aside the residual army, he had seen no treasures these days except occasionally encountering exotic beasts, cooking them for meals, and boosting his culinary skills.

"Hehe." Seeing Su Tu's curiosity, Rama felt a bit smug.

He lowered his voice and said, "It's the Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman that's causing a stir through the ruins recently!"

Upon hearing Rama's words, Su Tu, who was initially very intrigued, suddenly lost interest.

"Rumor has it that the tiger talisman contains a war soul from the Era of the Immortals; if summoned, it can be a powerful aid, and if all ten talismans are gathered, they can summon a war soul above the Daoist Master!"

"A war soul at the Daoist Master level can already support a major family. If you and I get hold of it, the Ancestral Star would have protection above a Daoist Master; then let's see who dares belittle the Ancestral Star!"

Rama spoke excitedly, not noticing Su Tu's increasingly odd expression.

"I recall my message was that gathering all could summon a Venerable, how did it get exaggerated like this?"

"They've gone beyond Daoist Master status?"

Yes, the so-called residual army tiger was something Su Tu set up for his "Strongest Worker" plan.

The so-called Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman was a carrier storing residual army; he casually carved a few pieces of broken wood to resemble real tiger talismans.

Yet, once the residual army was attached, those wood-carved talismans were covered with an air of killing intent and battle spirit, appearing ancient and weathered.

Ten war generals were each set on these ten talismans, and as long as someone nurtures them with heart and spirit, they can be summoned.

Of course, their true spirits remain in the real talismans, allowing Su Tu to recall the residual army instantly, wherever they may be.

His tiger talisman serves as the main command camp, while the wooden tiger talismans act as individual sales points. To summon the residual army, not only does it require nurturing with heart and spirit but also contacting headquarters, gaining Su Tu's approval before dispatching.

The past few days' delay in defeating Wang Gao and Chen Daowen was solely to disseminate information about the talisman.

He thought he had exaggerated enough, yet the rumor has now evolved to say gathering the talismans summons an unknown entity above the Daoist Master.

From certain perspectives, Su Tu indeed succeeded, as now all prodigies entering the ruins focus entirely on searching for talismans, hardly anyone cares about battling exotic beasts.

"No need, this treasure isn't suited to me; go find it yourself for fun."

Su Tu directly waved off, refusing. That thing was carved by himself, two pieces still remain unallocated; what use would its location be to him?

"Hmm? You won't use it?"

"With your character, giving up a treasure, unless... heart and spirit lacking!!"

Rama looked at Su Tu, eyes sharp.

The residual army talisman requires nurturing with heart and spirit. Su Tu claiming no need for it likely indicates his heart and spirit talent isn't high.

The heavens have remnants, and the moon has fullness and deficiency. Su Tu's martial arts cultivation is incredibly ahead, a deficiency in heart and spirit might be normal.

"Think what you may, seeing you're fine, I'm leaving now!"

Su Tu waved off indifferently, then with a burst of power, his figure transformed into several residual shadows.

"No way!! Such a prodigy from the Ancestral Star can't let heart life hinder cultivation!"

"Damn it, old bastard, I thought I'd never find you in my life, but for the prodigy of my race and to repay today's favor, I'll meet that bastard."

Watching Su Tu's back, Rama silently resolved in his heart.
