Alright, let's get something **straight**.
I'm **one year old**, I've survived **mountain training**, and now my father—**the terrifying Luo Tian**—wants me to perform a move that **only monsters can master**?
Let me remind you, dear **readers**, that the **Earth-Shattering Hand** is no joke.
- The **average genius** needs to be at **Qi Gathering Stage** to even attempt it.
- My father **broke records** by achieving it at **Qi Refining Level 2**.
- And me? **I'm in Body Tempering Realm… at Level 1.**
…Yeah. I'm **screwed.**

### **A Wall Too High**
I stood in the training ground, staring at the **massive stone slab** in front of me. Luo Tian's earlier **shockwave** had left cracks on it.
And now, **he expected me to do the same.**
I clenched my tiny fists. The system hadn't given me a **shortcut**, no hidden **cheat**, nothing.
"Try it," Luo Tian ordered.
**Try?** Ha! That's like asking a fish to climb a tree.
But I had no choice.
I took a deep breath and **thrust my palm forward**.
…**Nothing happened.**
Not even a **breeze**.

### **Brutal Expectations**
Luo Tian sighed, shaking his head.
"As expected," he muttered. "You're still weak."
Excuse me?! **I am literally a baby!**
He turned to me, his gaze sharp. "From now on, your training will change."
Oh no.
He raised his hand—and before I could react—
**BOOM!**
A massive shockwave **blasted me backward**, sending me rolling across the ground.
I groaned, coughing up dust. "WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Luo Tian walked forward **casually**, like he hadn't just tried to **murder his son.**
"You won't improve by training gently," he said. "If you want to master the Earth-Shattering Hand, then you must first—"
He suddenly **vanished** and reappeared right in front of me.
**"—survive it."**

### **Survival Training**
The next **two years** became **absolute hell**.
- **At age 1,** I was forced to withstand **shockwaves every day.**
- **At age 2,** he made me fight **fully grown warriors.**
- **At age 3,** my body was tempered to its **limit**.
Every single **bone, muscle, and nerve in my body screamed in agony**. But my father didn't stop.
"You're still too weak," he'd say.
"You don't deserve power yet."
Readers, let me just say—**I hated this man.**

### **Breaking Through!**
At **three years old**, I had finally reached **Body Tempering Level 7**.
Every step, every breath—it felt like I was **carrying mountains.** But something had changed.
My body was **stronger.**
I could **endure pain that would kill others.**
And finally, I could feel it—**the power of the Earth-Shattering Hand.**
It wasn't just a **technique**. It was **raw destruction, condensed into a single strike.**
And now, I was **ready to unleash it.**

### **The First True Strike**
Luo Tian stood in front of me once more, arms crossed.
"You've endured enough," he said. "Now show me what you've learned."
I took a deep breath. **This was it.**
I raised my palm, feeling the **tremors** rise from my core. Energy surged through my veins, roaring like a storm.
The air **crackled**. The earth beneath me **shook.**
Then—
**BOOOOOM!**
The impact **shattered the stone slab** into dust. A deep **crater** formed where my strike had landed.
I staggered back, breathing heavily.
Luo Tian was silent. Then—
A small smirk appeared on his face.
"You've finally taken your first step."

### **Ending Hook**
Luo Zin has finally **unlocked the Earth-Shattering Hand**, but this is only the beginning.
What happens when a **demon in a child's body** gains the power to destroy?
