In the Virtual Shen Jie, when everyone heard that someone had been rewarded a precious bone for attacking a passage, the place instantly boiled over.

"Iron Pot Simmered Beast Milk," this bizarre name that sounded utterly puzzling, spread rapidly to every corner of the Virtual Shen Jie like wildfire.

"That's a precious bone of an Ancient Primordial Relic Species! It was just casually awarded to the guy who destroyed the passage?"

A white-haired old man trembled with rage, his beard quivering, waving his hands in the air, "Are the rules of the Virtual Shen Jie going to turn into a complete mess?"

In everyone's hearts, indignation and resentment interwove and surged, along with greed and covetousness for the precious bone, stirring restlessly.

"Hmph, I'd like to see just how easy this passage is to break through!"

A young, hot-blooded cultivator, his face written full of defiance and impulse, the sharp blade in his hand flashing with cold light, he shouted loudly and fiercely slashed toward the passage.

For a while, passages throughout the Virtual Shen Jie were attacked in succession, dull thuds rising and falling continuously, echoing in the air.

However, after all the commotion, everyone helplessly discovered that the passages remained perfectly intact.

"Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, the passages are sturdy beyond imagination." A middle-aged cultivator, panting from exhaustion, braced his hands on his knees and said with difficulty, "Perhaps we should go to the Initial Ground to try our luck; it's said cultivation level is restricted there, so the passages might be more fragile."

Hearing this, everyone felt it made sense and flocked toward the teleportation arrays to the Initial Ground, the area packed with people, all harboring hope of finding a chance to break the passages there.

The Initial Ground, ancient green stone passages stood quietly, emitting a mysterious and archaic aura.

Qiao Shu, Bird Grandpa, and Grandpa Crystal Wall stood at the very front, their gazes revealing determination and unwillingness to accept defeat.

Qiao Shu's face flushed red, blue veins bulging on his forehead, the iron pry bar gripped tight in his hand as if pouring all his body's strength into it; his arms ached numb from prying, yet the passage didn't budge an inch.

"Xiao Mao Hai, you're not fooling us, are you?"

Qiao Shu wiped sweat from his forehead, panting, "Just you, a wet-behind-the-ears brat, think you can break this incomparably hard passage with offensive force?"

Boy puffed out his chest and declared solemnly, "Of course! My divine ability was personally transmitted by Master, unrivaled under heaven!"

Having spoken, he mysteriously sidled up, shared some so-called "secret technique," looked at everyone with a dead-serious face, and repeatedly urged them to strictly keep it secret.

Half an hour passed, the large green stone suddenly blazed with light, mysterious runes surging like a tide, a powerful backlash force surging out and violently blasting everyone away.

"You little brat, you were clearly lying!" Everyone flew into shameful anger, accusing Boy in a babble of voices.

But Boy just stiffened his neck, refusing to admit he was lying even if it killed him.

Boy strolled leisurely about the Initial Ground as if nothing had happened.

Hostile gazes locked tightly onto him, yet he couldn't have cared less.

"Kid, you'd better be careful; people are eyeing your precious bone." Bird Grandpa stepped forward to advise.

Grandpa Crystal Wall also hurried over, smiling broadly, "Milk-baby, if you think you can't hold onto this precious bone, sell it to me, otherwise you'll definitely suffer a loss."

Boy didn't care at all, waving his hand, "I don't stir up trouble, what danger could there be?"

Cai Luan quietly sidled up beside him and whispered a reminder, "They're the ones who want to deal with you."

Hearing this, Boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly, "Do they have treasures on them?"

Everyone hearing this instantly went dumbfounded, their expressions freezing, all thinking how this bear-child's thinking was so peculiar.

In the crowd, doubtful voices rose and fell.

"With that little frame of his, he still claims to have ultimate offensive force? I say he just stepped in dog shit luck."

A burly martial artist curled his lip, face full of disdain, "There's definitely something fishy; the Initial Ground's passage, no matter what, shouldn't be this easily broken by a little brat using offensive force."

Another chimed in, eyes full of suspicion.

But Boy seemed not to hear these doubts at all, still exploring the Initial Ground on his own.

The young woman rolled her eyes in anger, thinking she had worried for him in vain. This guy was simply a thorough little money-grubber, no different from those with ulterior motives, his mind also scheming crooked ideas.

Those fierce-eyed fellows weren't reckless fools. After all, "Iron Pot Simmered Beast Milk" was a record-breaker; they didn't dare act rashly, all waiting for their clans' experts to arrive.

Boy adhered to the principle of not actively provoking trouble, not striking out rashly. He inquired all over the Initial Ground, learned quite a bit of information, then wandered over to the stone tablet and began checking past records.

"Fire Cloud Immortal, walking on heavenly fire, the Dao of Fire Control reached the Extreme Realm in the Initial Ground."

Boy's expression turned serious; this person must be terrifying, but when he saw the dates afterward, he was a bit dumbfounded — this was still a record from tens of thousands of years ago.

He quickly looked down, wanting to find recent records.

"Demon Moon, a thought blooms flowers, withered wood revives, life force powerful, unrivaled in the Blood Moving Realm."

He flipped through a long stretch of records and found this entry was still from a thousand years ago.

Finally, with difficulty, Boy flipped to the back, and a familiar name instantly leapt into his sight — Shi Yi!

Shi Yi, the Double Pupil bearer who possessed the same talent as the Ancient Innate Sages and Divine Men, had indeed come, entered the Virtual Shen Jie, and was very likely in the higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands of the Virtual Shen Jie.

Boy's eyes revealed a strange light; he examined closely — the stone tablet had several lines of text recording the result: Shi Yi, Double Pupil Opens Heaven, in one battle slew nine Beast Kings, setting the King-Slaying Record in the Initial Ground.

Such battle achievements could be called world-shocking.

Every Beast King commands vast mountain ranges, stands alone at the top in the same realm, their power so strong it drives one to despair.

Ordinary cultivators, even just catching a distant glimpse of a Beast King's figure, would be scared into trembling, not daring the slightest thought of confrontation.

Normally, Beast Kings hide away, their traces hard to find; seeing one is extremely difficult.

Yet Shi Yi, in a single battle, simultaneously encountered nine Beast Kings on a narrow path, and still managed to stand out in the contest, exterminating them all.

This extraordinary strength is enough to leave a bold and colorful stroke in cultivation history.

This record is undoubtedly iron proof of Shi Yi's powerful strength; its gold content is so high countless cultivators yearn for it.

It represents the highest achievement of this realm, with no one surpassing it.

"You're studying these records?"

Qiao Shu appeared beside Boy at some unknown time and spoke, "Those able to leave their names on this stone tablet are all legendary figures in the cultivation world; they all have extraordinary achievements in their respective domains."

"I left my name on it too."

Boy's expression was proud.

Qiao Shu only then recalled this matter; he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"The record you set compared to Shi Yi's has a vast gap. His record was fought out in life-and-death struggles, relying on his own strength, while your record came from destroying the Virtual Shen Jie Passage."

"Master Crystal Wall, if you speak like this again, the transaction for the precious bone will likely be shelved."

Boy's expression was cold and stern, his gaze unkind as he looked at the other party.

"No such meaning. I'm saying you have extraordinary talent and will surely achieve extraordinary accomplishments in the future. Regarding the precious bone, we can discuss it as soon as possible."

Master Crystal Wall hurriedly explained, his expression slightly anxious.

"Wait until I've researched these thoroughly, then we'll talk." Boy turned around and continued focusing on the records on the stone stele.

Master Crystal Wall frowned slightly, pondering inwardly: by the time he researches them thoroughly, who knows when that will be. Just this child, why does he always get my name wrong.

Bird Grandpa also stood to the side, gazing at the stone stele, unable to help but sigh: "Shi Yi truly has unparalleled talent, worthy of being Born Supreme; such strength is truly beyond reach."

"In one battle he slew nine Beast Kings; this battle achievement is truly astonishing." The young girl Cai Luan's expression was heavy, her eyes full of reverence.

"Born Supreme?"

Hearing these four characters, Boy's gaze instantly became somewhat dazed, a sealed memory surging into his mind.

In the memory, a little girl with tear-streaked face tightly held the hand of that frail, pale child with dim eyes on the sickbed, choking out: "You are the true Born Supreme, you must get better, I am A-Mang..."

"Shi Yi's name has long spread across this land. He is the undisputed peerless genius of the ages; looking across ancient and modern times, those who can be mentioned in the same breath as him are countable on one's fingers." Qiao Shu's expression was serious, his tone full of admiration.

"Qiao Shu, go find me ten Beast Kings; I want to break his record." Boy's gaze was firm, his expression revealing an undeniable determination.

"What? You foolish child are spouting nonsense again!"

Hearing Boy's words, Qiao Shu was instantly at a loss for words.

Shi Yi, Born Supreme, the undisputed proud son of heaven. Also someone a wild child like you can touch porcelain with?

Bird Grandpa slowly shook his head, pondering inwardly: the Beast Kings of the Initial Land have always come and gone alone, their traces hard to find.

For Shi Yi to encounter nine Beast Kings besieging him simultaneously in one battle is truly a once-in-a-thousand-years exception, nearly a miracle.

From a certain degree, this also precisely proves the Double Pupil's supreme power.

"You must not do such a foolish thing; the slightest carelessness will cost you your life. You must know, if you die in this Virtual Shen Jie, in the real world you'll need to recuperate for several months; this price is too heavy. Records set by figures like Shi Yi are absolutely not something we can easily break; they are destined to be passed down for thousands, even tens of thousands of years."

Master Crystal Wall's expression was worried, his words earnest as he advised.

"Are those kinds of figures really so powerful they defy heaven?" Boy had always had a casual demeanor, but at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of curiosity and doubt.

"That is natural. I've heard he has already entered a high-level Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, seeking out Pixiu Cubs and Taowu Descendants, wanting to contend with these strongest beings!"

Master Crystal Wall's expression was solemn, his words full of reverence.

Everyone present, hearing this, their expressions instantly became heavy.

In those high-level regions dwell various powerful remnant species, and there may even exist pure-blooded Ferocious Beast cubs.

Any Human Race expert with the courage to challenge such beings is without exception one with extraordinary courage and strength; they are destined to leave a bold stroke in the long river of history.

"You must understand: since he dares to duel a Pixiu Cub and can also engage in fierce battle with a Yazi's descendant, just how terrifying his strength is can be imagined; even Old Generation experts would be shocked hearing this!"

Everyone present felt it in their hearts, all sighing: some people in this world are born bearing the halo of gods and saints.

They are destined to bloom with dazzling brilliance on this land; no one can stop their rising footsteps.

"Fine, let him go contend with Pixiu and Yazi; after he's done tossing about, I'll go defeat him then."

Boy's lips carried a trace of nonchalant smile, his tone light and dismissive, as if the one he was about to challenge was not the illustrious Shi Yi but an ordinary passerby on the roadside.

Everyone was still immersed in deep shock and sighs over Shi Yi's powerful strength; Boy's abrupt words were like a stone "plop" thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original atmosphere.

Everyone only felt a blockage in their hearts, full of helplessness: how come this child every time he opens his mouth is so "unique," forcibly stirring this solemn discussion atmosphere into a mess.

"Let's not talk about this first; Shi Yi's records are not just this one."

Qiao Shu pointed at a stone stele, then said, "He once relied purely on physical strength to leap up, not using a single bone text the whole way, and in one step steadily stood atop a mountain peak."

Everyone crowded close, following the direction Qiao Shu pointed, and found this staggering record on the stone stele.

"My heavens, this is too exaggerated!"

The young girl Cai Luan widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, her hands unconsciously covering her mouth as she exclaimed, "One step can directly rush to the mountain top; just how terrifying explosive power must that contain!"

"Indeed shocking to hear; such astonishing explosive power simply surpasses imagination."

Bird Grandpa nodded continuously, his eyes full of amazement and praise.

From this record one can clearly see Shi Yi's strength is unfathomable; the records he created, every one has extremely high gold content; onlookers, besides amazement, feel more self-inferiority, left far behind.

"Qiao Shu, Bird Grandpa, Master Crystal Wall, you all take a trip and find that mountain; I'll also do it in one step, definitely breaking his record."

Boy clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with firmness and confidence, his tone resolute, as if breaking the record was a trivial matter for him.

"This child, really don't know what to say about him."

The several people exchanged bitter smiles, both annoyed by Boy's bold idea and amused by his fearless vigor, only feeling this little guy was clever and mischievous, innocent to the point of being both lovable and helpless.

This Xiao Mao Hai looks like he's anchored onto this Double Pupil Supreme, always wanting to break his records.

Young people having daring spirit is good, but being overly blindly confident goes too far; it's not youthful recklessness anymore, it's not knowing what one is talking about.

Just then, a young man stepped forward.

"Little brother, heard you destroyed the Virtual Shen Jie's passage and got a precious bone; can you let us have a look?" That young man laughed.

"Sure!" Boy smiled broadly and directly handed over that precious bone.

Master Crystal Wall, Hammer Uncle and all went dumbfounded.

How can this kid be so simple? Qiao Shu, Master Crystal Wall and the others' eyeballs nearly popped out; this is too easily fooled! (Chapter End)
