Strongest Offline Cultivation

While the fight was getting intense, Fu Chen’s eyes were glued to them. But, suddenly the images froze once again. He turned his head and looked at the dragon with a confused gaze.

“A battle between brothers! Do you really want to see that?” The blue dragon asked.

Fu Chen suddenly realized something. He shook his head and asked, “So, what did you do?”

“I freed my brother from my mother’s control.”

At this moment, the scene was already at the point where Long Chen had a sword moving toward Long Tu’s neck. Suddenly, his father shouted.

“Chen, stop! Don’t kill your brother.”

Long Chen paused and looked at his father with confusion. His father looked at his wife/queen and said “She was the one who made him who he is. Your brother was just a pawn to her.”

“He never did anything by his Will. It was her order. If you want to kill, then kill her.”

Hearing his words, Long Chen turned his head at his mother who seemed to be retreating in fear. He instantly flapped his wings and rushed toward her. He appeared before her and punched her to the ground.

“Wait, wait, Chen’er, do you really want to kill your mother? I am your mother. How can you do something so cruel to me?”

His mother started shedding tears and shouting at him with a pathetic look on her face. Although she was just acting, she managed to stop him.

Long Chen looked at her and the memories of him playing with his mother returned. Except, there weren’t any.

He never played or even properly talked with his mother. She never even bothered to take care of him. His lack of talent was known from a small age. He was the only one who learned it later.

“Chen’er, how can you even attack your own mother? I was the one who gave birth to you. You are my son. The person you should be attacking isn’t me. It’s him. Attack him!”

His mother started crying even louder and pointed her finger at his father. Suddenly, Long Chen opened his claw and smashed her body. Powerful lightning burst out of his hand and spread inside her body.

“Argh… Ahhhh! What did you do?”

When the lightning started moving inside her, his mother screamed in pain until she realized that her cultivating was gone. With tears in her eyes, she shouted at him and tried to slash him with her claw.

But, Long Chen held her hand and stopped her.

“I shouldn’t be the one killing you or father or brother. I realized something. All of us are family. There is no need to kill you. So, I destroyed your cultivation and your dantian.”

“From now on, you can’t cultivate nor would you have cultivation realm. From now on, you will be living in the prison.”

…

Fu Chen looked at the dragon with confusion and asked “Didn’t you know that she was the one who send your brother to kill you? Why didn’t you kill her and spare her life?”

The dragon shook his head and said “I had no feelings for her, no love, no hate. I was only angry at her. But, I also realized something. It was a short moment but it made me realize that killing wasn’t true revenge.”

Hearing his words, Fu Chen looked at him with confusion.

“I didn’t kill her because I wanted her to suffer even more. She planned to dethrone her father for fifty years and now, she became nothing because of a child she tried to kill.”

“You have no idea how mad she became in the prison. I truly got my revenge. But, there was something more that I desired. It was to protect my kingdom.”

“And, after that battle, our forces were weakened. The Phoenix tried to take advantage of us but I was strong enough to protect my kingdom though I never stepped a foot inside the kingdom.”

“But why are you showing this to me? And, why are you conscious?” Fu Chen asked.

“Alright now that you know about my life, you should know that I was cursed, right?” The dragon asked.

Fu Chen suddenly remembered that he was in the land of curses but he didn’t get weaker or lost his life expectancy. In fact, it was like he got stronger.

“Actually, I was cursed. But my curse was something different. I only find out after my death.”

At this moment, the images once again began to appear. It was nearly thousands of years after that battle. Long Chen’s body was old and on the verge of dying.

After his death, his soul moved out of his body and moved around the world. Suddenly, he realized he couldn’t become a Martial Soul. He couldn’t enter a human body.

…..

“Wait, if you can’t enter a human body, how did you become a martial soul?” Fu Chen asked with confusion.

“After I remained as a soul and couldn’t enter the human body, I began to lose a lot of my powers, and slowly, I also began to realize the truth about my curse. It wasn’t that I couldn’t enter the human body, I couldn’t enter a human body with any affinity, bloodline, physique, or any other kinds of talent.”

“Yes, my curse was to find a person who had no talent, like literally no talent but the Willpower just like mine. Haha! Like how is that even possible, right?”

“A person without any talent. How can such a person exist? At least, there wasn’t anyone like that in my world. So, I decided to descend into this world. Here, I was hoping that I could one.”

“I find several but none of them had Willpower like me. It felt like I was receiving the punishment of devouring the heavenly powers. When I was alive, I became the strongest being in the world.”

“There was no one….. except for one, there was no one who could even scratch me. And, I achieved all that through my hard work and determination. That much Willpower, it was impossible to appear in human.”

“Especially when humans need affinity or talent to make control with martial soul. Of course, I was an exception to that because what I need was completely opposite to that.”

“But, then I found you. You had nothing but now you can have everything.” The dragon slowly moved in front of Fu Chen and pointed his enormous claw at him.

Fu Chen was frozen like a rock. He didn’t know how to respond. He just kept listening as the dragon explained.

“You were the one who had no talent at all. You had no affinity, no bloodline, no physique. That’s why your perception and talent for comprehension were low. But, you also had a strong Willpower, so strong that it was able to attract me.”

“So, I entered your body. I tried to turn into a martial soul but I realized that I had lost all of my powers. I only had lingering thoughts. That’s why my rank was at the bottom.”

“That’s why when you tried to awaken me, I couldn’t come out. I wasn’t a martial soul. I was just a soul. But, one day you suddenly realized blood energy. It was so enormous that it flew inside me and gave me enough power to awaken.”

“It was when you tried to use a martial art without spiritual energy. That was quite reckless but thanks to that, I managed to awaken. Do you understand what this means?”

Hearing his words, Fu Chen lowered his head and said “A young man with no talent at all.”

“Yes, that’s exactly who you are. And, that’s what makes you so special. A young man with no talent can achieve what you have achieved. You are the special one. You will bring my message to the world.”

“Not to the people but the world.”  The dragon excitedly pointed his finger at Fu Chen and spoke.

“What do you mean?” Fu Chen looked at him with confusion. Yes, it was true that he managed to achieve a lot through hard work but most of it was still due to the system.

“As I said, you can bring my message to the world. Hard work still matters. No matter how many talented people there are if you work hard if you train like a manic, you can get stronger. Prove the world that God’s grace is a false hope.”

“Fu Chen! I was a dragon bound by my words. But, you are not. Your dream is to bring peace into the world, right? But, just having all races together won’t bring peace.”

“There will always be inequality and battle between geniuses and ordinary people. You can prove to the world that while talent might give them head start, only hard work can take them further.”

“Just imagine the world where geniuses and hard-working people compete against each other. Just imagine how motivated those geniuses would be. You can make the world stronger by showing them the importance of hard work.”

“You can make a world where common people wouldn’t get suppressed by the geniuses.”
