The gentle moonlight filtered through the dense gaps, illuminating Xiao Tian's astonished face inside the room.

"This..." It wasn't that Xiao Tian was unsettled; the changes in himself were simply too terrifying.

The tea he casually spat out had turned the wall into a beehive.

This strength was a bit excessive.

Xiao Tian hurriedly calmed his mind, standing still as he gently moved.

Without making any big movements, he merely flexed his joints, controlled his muscles, adjusted his breathing, and sensed his internal organs.

As the only master of both internal and external cultivation on Earth, achieving this wasn't difficult.

"This feeling is indeed quite marvelous." Xiao Tian grew increasingly astonished, able to feel his body changing at every moment.

His body, as if starved, was voraciously devouring some mysterious power.

Muscles, bones, and internal organs were all continuously strengthening and improving, seemingly without end.

"Wang Cai, can you detect my current state?" Xiao Tian thought to himself.

[Respected Master, you are an ultra-high dimensional being, and my ability to detect you is limited.]

 

[Please see...]

 

[Respected Master: Xiao Tian.]

 

[Realm: None]

 

[Traits: Unknown]

[Bloodline: Earthling, Descendant of Yan and Huang, Descendant of the Dragon.]

 

[Earthling: The master hails from the ultra-high dimensional plane Earth, with an unknown upper limit once the shackles are removed, difficult to observe.]

 

[Descendant of Yan and Huang: The master can ignore any rules and laws, possessing a suppressive ability over any bloodline physique.]

 

[Descendant of the Dragon: The master has absolute dominance over any beast-like creatures.]

"Limited reference value indeed." Xiao Tian glanced at the system panel.

But it was clear that, as an Earthling arriving in this world, it was like an ordinary person entering a land of Lilliputians.

A true dimensional suppression!

Feeling his body still rapidly growing stronger, Xiao Tian found himself increasingly interesting.

The Prince's Palace had been temporarily modified, mostly used by Empress Zi Ruoyan.

Among its features was a martial training ground where she honed her martial skills.

The training ground was fully equipped with various weapons.

As for the notion that placing weapons in the palace was unfavorable?

Although Xiao Tian didn't know much about this Empress, he knew she was the strongest in the Great Yan Dynasty.

The palace's attendants and maids couldn't even lift the weapons she used for training.

Yet, Xiao Tian effortlessly picked up a heavy battle knife from the steel weapon rack.

Then...

Crack!

Looking at the shattered handle on the ground, Xiao Tian frowned, "This Empress isn't strict with her subordinates; cutting corners is too much."

[Respected Master, spiritual artifacts are divided into nine tiers, each tier into lower, middle, upper, and extreme grades.]

 

[This is a sixth-tier extreme-grade spiritual artifact battle knife, considered top-quality in the Great Yan Dynasty.]

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Xiao Tian's expression froze; was it that he had used too much strength?

He turned his gaze to a long sword beside him, carefully pinching it with two fingers.

Fortunately, there was no one around; if palace attendants saw this, their eyes would surely pop out.

A spiritual artifact long sword that required twenty people to lift, and Xiao Tian was pinching it?

And he was handling the sword so cautiously, worried about damaging it.

After familiarizing himself with his strength again, Xiao Tian slowly attempted to grip the sword handle and gently swung it.

"What a fine sword!" Xiao Tian observed carefully, exclaiming in admiration.

Compared to Earth's alloy weapons, this sword was a divine weapon.

Xiao Tian felt puzzled and asked, "Wang Cai, why is this sword better than Earth's weapons?"

[Respected Master, if Earth's weapons came to this world, they would be as powerful as you.]

Xiao Tian understood; to compare, they must be in the same environment.

Swish!

In the next moment, Xiao Tian suddenly reversed the sword and slashed at his own palm.

The sharp blade barely dented Xiao Tian's skin, unable to penetrate further, not even breaking the skin.

He picked up the sword, and his palm didn't even have a mark.

"Impenetrable by sword or spear." Xiao Tian marveled while widening his eyes, suddenly thrusting the sword at his own eyeball.

Clang!

A crisp collision sounded, and the sword tip bounced off Xiao Tian's eyeball.

Swish, swish, swish!

Xiao Tian swung the long sword again, stabbing at his ears, nose, throat, and even down his mouth.

From start to finish, he didn't blink, testing himself thoroughly.

"To think that as an Earthling, I am this terrifying!" Xiao Tian sheathed the sword and held it horizontally before his eyes.

Just now, he had controlled his strength, using only a thousandth of it.

Yet the long sword was full of cracks, likely to shatter if he exerted more force.

Xiao Tian casually tossed the sword, and it landed precisely on the weapon rack.

He had roughly understood that there might not be a weapon in this world capable of withstanding his strength.

Unless those from the ultra-high dimensional Earth, the equipment he was summoned with.

However...

Xiao Tian shook his head; he wouldn't use weapons anymore.

He wouldn't engage in killing again.

Living a leisurely life as a carefree prince, enjoying the benefits of being a gigolo—wasn't that appealing?

Returning to the modified Prince's Palace, Xiao Tian collapsed onto the soft bed, faintly smelling a delicate fragrance.

Comfortable!

"Finally, I can attempt what I've always dreamed of." Xiao Tian lay lazily, speaking with self-mockery.

Since understanding things on Earth, in that assassin organization.

Xiao Tian had never had a peaceful sleep!

As Earth's strongest individual in single combat, getting a good night's sleep was a luxury, an irony.

Now, he could finally sleep soundly.

"Speaking of this Slave Ring..." Xiao Tian suddenly raised his hand, looking at the faintly glowing band, and impulsively tugged at it.

Snap!

The Slave Ring, which even Empress Zi Ruoyan, the strongest in the Great Yan Dynasty, had no solution for, was easily broken by Xiao Tian.

[The master possesses the bloodline of the Descendants of Yan and Huang and is not bound by such rules.]

"Is that so?" Xiao Tian looked at the broken Slave Ring in his hand and experimentally reattached it.

The ring reconnected, restored to its original state.

Xiao Tian pulled it off again and reattached it.

Eh~

Just playing!

After fiddling for a while, feeling bored, Xiao Tian fell asleep with a faint smile on his lips, seemingly looking forward to beautiful days ahead.

***

Imperial Study.

The Empress set down the memorial in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Was it an illusion?" She had just noticed that the connection between her and Xiao Tian appeared and disappeared frequently.

Upon careful sensing, she found the connection with Xiao Tian still there, so Zi Ruoyan ignored it and continued handling state affairs.

Late at night.

Zi Ruoyan gently rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

"The current situation is too chaotic." Zi Ruoyan stretched, her robe accentuating her astonishingly perfect figure.

She left the Imperial Study, ready to rest.

***

The next morning.

Xiao Tian turned over, groggy, seemingly bumping into something.

When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw an exquisite face, just inches away.

The morning light shone on her, creating a dreamy allure.

But Xiao Tian's face turned pale.

"I... I'm not clean anymore..."
