Crushing the Genius

A young man wearing green clothes with a sword sheath hanging on his waist toward the front. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at Tyler.

"I held my sword at the age of five, learned the swordsmanship at the age of eight, become a cultivator at the age of fifteen, mastered my swordsmanship at the age of eighteen."

"I challenged the trial as well. I finished the fourth trial in ten minutes and fifty seconds. It was only because of my family that I couldn't challenge the fifth trial."

"I don't accept you as the First Genius of Earth. Fight me if you are not a coward. We will decide who can hold the title of the First Genius of Earth."

Hearing his words, Tyler was surprised. He looked at Salin and asked.

"When did I become the First Genius of Earth?"

"Hahaha! Come on, you are currently the most famous person in the entire world. The only person who has crossed the fifth trial on earth. Of course, you would be called as the First Genius of Earth." The man with red eyes laughed as he replied.

Tyler's eyes shone a bit. He touched the hilt of his sword with excitement and took out his sword.

"If it was the Most Talented Person on Earth, then I wouldn't have accepted it. But, since it is the First Genius on Earth, I will gladly accept it and keep it. Because my strength was never due to my talent."

"So, I accept your challenge."

Hearing his words, everyone was surprised. They all have checked his talent. It was the seventh star's talent. And, he also had innate strength but that was it.

There were several people with more than such a talent but none of them managed to achieve what he did. So, they were curious how he did it. Still, they don't know the answer.

But, they know it wasn't due to his talent.

At this moment, the person who stood in shock was Tim. Now that he knew Tyler hadn't relied on talent to gain that strength, his positive view of Tyler increased even more.

And, his belief in his father's words started to increase as well.

"Good! Since you are only at Energy Refinement Realm, I will suppress my cultivation to Energy Refinement Realm."

The young man closed his eyes for a moment and a strange seal emerged on his chest. It blocked his massive reserve of spiritual energy and also his physical strength above Energy Refinement Realm.

Whoosh!

The next moment, he dashed toward Tyler with extreme speed. The people had already cleared quite a stage for them. When he approached Tyler, he unsheathed his sword and covered his sword with Sword Aura.

The Sword Aura was quite strong as well. The slash was quite fast but it didn't escape Tyler's eyes. Before even he slashed, Tyler knew where exactly the sword was going to swing.

So, he ducked and push himself to the right as he got up. He clenched his right fist and smashed forward. The young man quickly reacted as he put his left palm in front of his fist.

Bang!

But when Tyler's fist landed on his palm, he couldn't contain the impact. His body flew like a cannonball and struck the ground. He crashed his sword on the ground and used it to stop his movement.

The young man quickly got up and held his right chest with his left hand.

'Damn! What kind of monstrous strength is that? How can he use such strength in his cultivation? Is he not a person with Innate Strength but a Divine Strength?'

On the other hand, the red eyes were constantly analyzing every single movement that Tyler made. From his muscle stretch to the energy infusing within his bones.

Seeing all of that, the man was shocked.

'How the hell is he fighting like this? It's like he had fought for decades. In cultivation, there are several ways to increase one's physical capability. And, one of them was muscle movement while the other was bone density.'

'Normally, it takes years for someone to master their muscle movement. Cultivation isn't related to that. Our cultivation is related to the essence of a body. For him to execute such an amazing muscle movement is insane.'

'He must have trained his body during his blacksmithing work. After all, Blacksmith Dan thinks highly of him even though he wasn't a cultivator before.'

'I can't fathom the amount of hard work he should've put into mastering his muscle movement. But, even more than that, how did he master bone density? He only awakened his spiritual roots a few weeks ago.'

'He shouldn't be able to do that. How? Just how?'

He was so amazed that he almost got frustrated for not finding any answer. At this moment, several eyes on placed on Tyler. They wanted to see what kind of moves he uses next.

After all, he was fighting someone extremely powerful. But surprisingly, Tyler didn't make a single move. He let the young man stand up. Seeing this, the young man was even more frustrated.

He put an insane amount of spiritual energy into his sword and covered it with his Sword Aura. He put the spiritual energy into his foot and pushed himself toward Tyler like a bullet.

Tyler simply stood there. His mental energy was slowly infusing Chaotic Force into his arm. His eyes were kinda different at this moment. Nothing from outer appearance had changed but his eyes were moving at a speed almost close to the bullet.

And, it was moving around like crazy as if he was studying something. And, he was studying something. He was understanding the power of the sword and its impact.

He reinforced his body with Chaotic Force and raised his hand. When he opened his palm, the sword slashed at him from the side. It was so fast that only a few people watching the battle could see.

But, Tyler infused his arm Chaotic Force and covered it with Sword Aura simply pulled his fingers together and caught the between his fingers.

Bang!

The massive forces from that swing struck his body but it didn't even leave a scratch on him.

Tyler stared at the disbelief and hopelessness in that young man's eyes.

'Yes, this is the result of my recklessness. It was scary but the results paid off.'

Tyler clenched his left fist and pulled his right arm. The young man stumbled toward him as he thrusts his left arm toward the young man.

Bang.

The young man flew like a cannonball until he collided against the wall. His skull got crushed. His chest started bleeding and his bones were cracked. The sword remained on Tyler's fingers as he looked at the bloody young man.

'This is my strength.'
