Chapter 53: Chapter 51: How Many People’s Youth Is This Again~

For a time, Su Tan thought he had nothing in common with this stone pillar, but now he understood...

It turned out this stone pillar was just asking for a beating.

But it made sense!

What was a Dominator Body? Overbearing, forceful, and tyrannical! This was the Dominator Body.

What was there to comprehend? Why use your brain when a problem could be solved with your fists? This was domineering!

Su Tan suddenly saw the light. He realized not only the concept of being "domineering," but also recalled the system’s previous prompt...

The hint had been so obvious!

The Cultivation Techniques inside the stone pillar were like treasures locked in a box. There was a barrier between him and the techniques, which was why he couldn’t equip them directly. As long as he found a way to take the techniques out of the box, he could equip them.

There were many ways to open a box. The first was the universally accepted method: using a "key." That meant comprehending the Dao... Once one understood the secret of the stone pillar, they would naturally obtain the Secret Manuals within.

However, this depended on talent and personal luck, and Su Tan obviously had neither in this regard.

There was another, more violent method. That was to forcibly shatter the barrier and force the Cultivation Techniques out of the box. This approach was simple and direct, suiting Su Tan perfectly.

Why?

He possessed a Dominator Body, so he had to be domineering.

The stone pillar concealed Dao Mark Cultivation Techniques. By simply striking the pillar, the Cultivation Technique Dao Marks inside would react—either rebounding or activating...

This phenomenon was equivalent to exposing the Cultivation Technique Dao Principles to the air, erasing the barrier between them and Su Tan. Whether Su Tan understood them or not, as long as they broke free from their medium, the barrier would vanish, allowing the system to store and equip them!

Su Tan completely understood the logic behind it.

"Equip, fuse into the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace Body Refinement section!"

Without hesitation, Su Tan fused the Cultivation Technique he had punched out.

"DING! Cultivation Method Manual x1... Fusing... Consuming 100 energy points..."

"Fusion successful!"

The quality of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace Body Refinement section improved once again. Although it hadn’t yet reached a qualitative leap, Su Tan could clearly feel the enhancement.

A strange smile crept onto his face as he cracked his knuckles, facing the stone pillar before him!

BOOM!

Without another word, he slammed a punch into the pillar.

"Since it’s this simple, I might as well reap a good harvest!"

"DING! Detected that the host has smashed out Cultivation Technique x1..."

BOOM!

Another punch!

"DING! Detected that the host has smashed out Cultivation Technique x1..."

BOOM!

"DING! Detected that the host has smashed out Cultivation Technique x3..."

A triple critical hit?

These were all real Cultivation Techniques that could actually be practiced, and their quality was not low either. If brought to the outside world, they would definitely sell for a massive fortune. An entity like the Xu Family... would probably wake up laughing in their sleep if they got their hands on just one.

Yet Su Tan was simply punching them out, one by one, with simple and direct strikes. He was responsible for smashing, and the system was responsible for collecting.

Without the system, it would have been impossible for Su Tan to obtain these Cultivation Techniques so easily. Even if the Dao Principles were exposed to the air, one might not be able to catch them, comprehend them, or understand them.

But it was different with the system. The system didn’t care whether Su Tan understood or not. As long as they were exposed to the air and detected as being smashed out by Su Tan, they were considered his. That was why he could obtain them so effortlessly.

RUMBLE!

In the blink of an eye, Su Tan threw more than twenty punches.

His hands were numb from the recoil. This was all thanks to his Overlord Physique, which made his body exceptionally tough. If it were an ordinary cultivator, their hand bones would have shattered from punching the stone pillar even once.

But no matter how strong Su Tan’s Physique was, it still couldn’t compare to the hardness of the stone pillar. He could feel the pain throbbing from his fists.

But it didn’t matter. This was like picking up free money—finders keepers. Who would ever complain about getting exhausted from picking up free money? It hurt, sure, but the pain coexisted with joy. Compared to obtaining Cultivation Techniques, that bit of pain was negligible.

RUMBLE!

Like a madman, Su Tan vented all his pent-up frustrations on the stone pillar. A series of muffled thuds echoed out, sounding like a heavy hammer striking a bronze bell—deep and solemn.

"DING! Cultivation Technique x10..."

"DING! Exploded with rare Dominator Body Cultivation Technique x1..."

A rare Cultivation Technique? Su Tan didn’t pay it much mind and tossed it directly into the Warehouse! No matter what Cultivation Technique it was, they all shared one fate: fusion!

"DING! Cultivation Technique x3..."

Su Tan was getting the hang of how to strike to yield the most Cultivation Techniques.

"DING! Equip Cultivation Technique x29...?"

"No, store them in the Warehouse!" The Cultivation Techniques were piling up. Su Tan didn’t have time to equip them, so he simply stored them all in the Warehouse to deal with after returning to reality.

Su Tan felt his body heating up. Before long, he was dripping with sweat. His body was completely drenched, looking as if he had just been fished out of a river.

"Hahaha... How exhilarating! It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a good workout. So comfortable!"

BOOM!

He threw his final punch.

PANT PANT PANT.

Su Tan’s body suddenly felt light; he had completely exhausted his strength. Taking a step back, his body went limp, unable to muster an ounce of energy.

"Urgh..."

Fighting through the sheer exhaustion, Su Tan forced his body to obey and sat down cross-legged to rest!

"I’m completely drained! But... the harvest is pretty good!" Su Tan smiled in satisfaction as he looked at the system interface, which prominently displayed "Cultivation Technique x241."

"This trip to the Void God Realm wasn’t in vain!"

He planned to rest for a bit and recover some strength before logging out of the Void God Realm, since he had no energy left, and there was no point in staying any longer.

Meanwhile, what he didn’t know was that his actions had already caused an uproar among the cultivators outside the Sea of Stones...

"Tanzi... It’s Tanzi again!!!"

"Look, Tanzi got another Cultivation Technique!"

"Adding them all up, that makes 241 Cultivation Techniques."

"What kind of monster is this?"

When they first saw the name [Tanzi] obtain the first Cultivation Technique, they assumed some cultivator had just struck dumb luck. But as Tanzi obtained more and more Cultivation Techniques, their eyes practically bugged out of their heads in shock!

Who could have imagined that this person named [Tanzi] would perform like this?

The shock came in wave after wave!

"That’s even more Secret Manuals than what [One] harvested during their first login to the Void God Realm. Who on earth is this Divine being, Tanzi?!"

"Second place! Ranked second on the Era Leaderboard, pushing down even the Sacred Body, Chen Huangbei!"

"When did such a genius appear? Why haven’t we heard anything about this?"

"This [One] and Tanzi... are way too mysterious!"

RUMBLE!

While they were discussing, a phenomenon appeared on the stone stele once again... practically identical to the one triggered by Chen Huangbei earlier. They were phenomena of the exact same caliber.

"Wh-what... Tanzi... obtained the strongest Cultivation Technique of the Dominator Body inheritance?"

The so-called strongest Cultivation Technique of the Dominator Body inheritance was the highest-quality Body Refining Technique recorded by the stone pillars.

"Good heavens... This person got this kind of Cultivation Technique on their first time entering the Void God Realm? This is just... too fierce!"

"I feel like I’m witnessing a rising star."

"That person definitely possesses a Dominator Body; otherwise, they wouldn’t have obtained exclusively Dominator Body inheritances!"

"Not only a Dominator Body, but I think... she must be a woman!" someone added.

"Huh??? On what grounds do you say that, brother?"

"Heh... Just think about it. Tanzi... What man would give himself such a feminine name? It has to be a woman!" someone said, looking as if they had seen through the truth.

"So that’s it!"

"You’re absolutely right! Tanzi, Tanzi... It really sounds like a girl’s name!" someone’s eyes lit up.

Tanzi... Tanzi... Wasn’t that exactly a girl’s name?

"It’s hard to imagine... a woman actually possessing such talent... The world... has gained another True Immortal Fairy... How enchanting. Sigh... I wonder how many people’s youthful crush she will become..."

"Indeed..."

"A woman like that must be extraordinary..."

"I really wish I could gaze upon the Fairy’s beautiful face... even if it’s just a glimpse from afar..." someone murmured, a look of infatuation in their eyes.

If Su Tan were here, he would definitely retort in exasperation, "Who the f*ck is a woman?

"Are you guys kidding me?

"Laozi, Sunzi, Mozi, Kongzi... You think they’re all absolute badasses, so why do you assume I, Tanzi, am a girl? It makes no sense!

"For crying out loud, I’m a ’Zi’ too!"
