I am truly the Monkey King

"This Violence Value really doesn't last. It's gone again," Su Hang muttered as he got on the bus and headed back to the Tian Ce Martial Arts Academy.

Suddenly, rain began to pour outside the bus, splattering down incessantly.

Su Hang's thoughts drifted to cultivation. The first major realm in martial arts cultivation was the Breath Refining Realm, divided into four levels: Houtian, Innate, Grandmaster, and Mysterious Scholar, each with four stages: early, middle, late, and perfection.

The Houtian Realm requires one to refine essence into qi, producing Inner Strength. Once the Inner Strength becomes strong enough and transforms into True Qi, one can then strive to break into the Innate Realm.

Currently, Su Hang was at the middle stage of Houtian Cultivation Level with a very common cultivation technique. Fortunately, within that 1% of True Spirit from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, there were two top-tier Immortal Mantras—"Nine Dan Golden Elixir Immortal Scripture" and "Primordial Chaos One Qi Scripture"—but only the first layer of each.

The "Nine Dan Golden Elixir Immortal Scripture" is esteemed as the number one Foundation Building Divine Skill of Taoism and requires immortal power to cultivate.

The "Primordial Chaos One Qi Scripture" has a few slight defects but can be cultivated with some effort, though it pales in comparison to the "Nine Dan Golden Elixir Immortal Scripture."

Su Hang was frustrated, secretly thinking, "If only I had immortal power, then I could cultivate the 'Nine Dan Golden Elixir Immortal Scripture' and establish an indestructible, eternal foundation for martial arts.

However, included within the 'Nine Dan Golden Elixir Immortal Scripture' is a supreme Immortal Technique called 'Eight Desolations Scatter Hand,' which I can practice for now."

After returning to the dormitory at the Martial Arts Institute, Su Hang rested for a while and then leisurely walked towards the small grove behind the dorms.

The rain had already stopped. The environment was serene, the air fresh, and the area was seldom frequented by others.

The trees stood as straight as bamboo, swaying gently in the wind. Ten steps ahead, a flat grassy area appeared with withered yellow plants that had yet to revive.

He came here every day to practice his punches. The Eight Desolations Scatter Hand consisted of eight forms—Sky-Splitting Axe, Pushing Against the Wind, Heaven-Piercing Cannon, Heavenly Dragon Chant, Yama's Hand, Sky-Crushing Hammer, Kunpeng Claw, and Overlord's Lean.

Each form was profound and unfathomable, embodying a power that could turn heaven and earth upside down, pick stars and capture the moon, and overturn rivers and seas when perfected.

The methods for channeling energy and secrets of the techniques all surfaced in Su Hang's mind, his inheritance of the fighting experience from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

"Mountain-Splitting Axe!"

Su Hang took his stance, chopping down with a single palm, moving in rhythm with the strike. As he continued, he found himself increasingly absorbed by the forms, with an opening and closing motion, powerful and forceful, each movement exuding a majestic aura.

"Heaven-Piercing Cannon!"

His fists pounded like war drums, his strength radiating in all directions, eyes in every inch of his body, hands in every move, creating booming sounds in the air, each gesture was fierce and unmatched, emanating the force of a wild tiger.

"To think that the Eight Desolations Scatter Hand has skipped past the entry level and reached minor accomplishment so quickly." Su Hang felt as if he was dreaming; the speed of his cultivation was too fast, almost like taking a rocket.

The force on his fists, from the inside out, grew stronger and stronger, the momentum larger and larger, before finally becoming simple and lacking in flair.

"I'm only one step away from the Great Achievement Realm now!" Panting heavily, Su Hang stopped. "This Martial Skill is way too powerful. With my current Cultivation Level, I can't even unleash 0.01% of its power.

Even so, compared to 'Eight Extremes Twelve Forms' taught by the academy, it's simply trash among trash."

Exhausted, Su Hang returned to his room feeling extremely pleased with himself. He showered and had just lain down when he heard a "ding dong" inside his head.

"Congratulations, you have achieved a Spiritual Critical Hit on Li Gang, Violence Value +1!"

"Congratulations, you have achieved a Spiritual Critical Hit on Ji Ya, Violence Value +1!"

"Congratulations, you have achieved a Spiritual Critical Hit on Zhao Wenshan, Violence Value +1!"

Su Hang was stunned. What was this all about? Why was the Violence Value suddenly appearing? Could it be... those three guys from the hotel?

"There's such a trick too, haha... Keep it coming, keep it coming!" Su Hang was over the moon, and as if to match his excitement, more Violence Value arrived.

"Congratulations, you have achieved another Spiritual Critical Hit on Zhao Wenshan, Violence Value +1!"

"Why did it stop? Bring it on!" Su Hang rolled over and got up to draw prizes. He discovered that the items on offer in the lottery had changed quite a bit.

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

...

Su Hang's face darkened. He had drawn three times, and they were all the disappointing "Thank you for participating," leaving him quite disheartened for a moment.

"This is the last time. Don't give me another 'Thank you for participating', then I'll really thank you."

"Congratulations, you have drawn a sanitary pad!" Su Hang instantly felt terrible, hastily tossing it into the trash bin.

If someone saw this, they would surely think he had some peculiar fetish.

He laid back down and fell asleep almost immediately.

A quiet night passed. In the morning, Su Hang opened his sleepy eyes, blinked several times, then closed them again to check the Revival System.

"This..." Su Hang nearly jumped out of bed in shock. Overnight, the total Violence Value had actually changed from 0 to 12.

This made him feel like he had been hit with tens of thousands of RMB. Ever since he acquired the Revival System, he had never had so many Violence Values in hand.

He checked and found out that all 12 Points of Violence Value came from Zhao Wenshan.

"Why aren't there any from the other two guys?" Su Hang shook his head and began to draw prizes.

"Thank you for participating!"

"Congratulations, you've drawn a portion of supreme stinky tofu!"

"Thank you for participating!"

"Congratulations, you've drawn a serving of Isatis root instant noodles!"

...

Su Hang drew twelve times. Six were the infuriating "Thank you for participating," three were the dismaying Isatis root instant noodles, and two were supreme stinky tofu.

On his last draw, he landed a Revival Talisman.

However, this infuriating system informed him that the Revival Talisman would only work with a Divine-Searching Talisman; otherwise, it was just a worthless piece of paper.

Su Hang shook his head in frustration, got out of bed to wash up, and left for class alone as his roommates were out. Along the way, many people looked at him.

His live broadcast from the night before had made it to the hot searches. Many websites had reported on it, and a few recognized him. He wasn't surprised in the least.

"Bro, you're a real man, not disgracing our Tian Ce Martial Arts Academy!" Someone came over to greet him, full of admiration.

"Ah, what a great opportunity, why didn't you grab it." Some people shook their heads regretfully looking at Su Hang.

"Su Hang is not like you, with absolutely no principles!" A girl, poised as a slender jade, ran over and stuffed a pink envelope into Su Hang's hand, a shy rosy blush blossoming on her exquisite face as if carved by heaven and earth.

She was like a girl in the Jiangnan misty rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella, possessing a unique artistic temperament that outshone all the female cultivators in the academy.

"Big news, the school beauty Li Xiaowei actually sent a love letter to Su Hang."

Li Xiaowei, from a scholarly family, was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, a renowned talent in Qinyuan Province, and also the liberal arts top scorer in the college entrance examination.

After entering the Martial Arts Institute, she had long occupied the position of school beauty, unchallenged by anyone.

Her suitors were numerous, but she rejected them one by one, resolute and without hesitation, breaking many a young man's heart, earning her the nickname "Heart-Breaker Extraordinaire."

Still, many persistently pursued her, including top scholars from major universities in Weiyang City and young talents from big companies, all trying to get close by giving gifts and sending love letters whenever they found the chance.

Her beauty and demeanor outshone many top-tier stars, and even national-level directors personally invited her to star in movies.

This was the person who had refused so many top students and elites, and now she was chasing after Su Hang.

This scene instantly shocked everyone to the core.

"I have a girlfriend." Su Hang refused the love letter.

"What?" All the guys were dumbfounded; they had never imagined that someone in this world could so calmly reject Li Xiaowei's love letter.

Some guys who had sent dozens of love letters thought maliciously: "Karma, karma! Now it's your turn to taste the bitterness of rejection, haha..."

"Su Hang, you really are not like those ordinary people," Li Xiaowei said with a smile that was not only enchanting but also heart-stirring, "Out of millions of people, I recognized you at just one glance, you are the one I've been looking for, so... from this moment on, I will pursue you, and I will make you fall for me."

"Suit yourself!" Su Hang shoved the love letter back into Li Xiaowei's hand and entered the classroom. Soon after, Li Xiaowei followed and sat down beside him.

"You're a junior, why are you attending a sophomore class? Is that appropriate?" Su Hang frowned.

"I just wanted to spend some time with you, but since you don't like it, I'll leave." Li Xiaowei decisively left.

Su Hang paused for a moment, finding Li Xiaowei quite amusing.

"Campus heartthrob, even rejecting Li Xiaowei, impressive, I admire you for that," the class beauty took a seat beside him, smiling and giving him a thumbs-up.

"You've admired me since before." Su Hang said nonchalantly.

The class beauty's lips curled up into a smile, "Now, I admire you even more!"

The instructor arrived, and with the experience of cultivation from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, what the instructor taught was too simple and shallow, boring him to no end.

"I need to find a way to earn Violence Value, only with a large amount of Violence Value can I draw more prizes and rise quickly." Su Hang thought about this all day, and during that time, Zhao Wenshan sent him 3 points of Violence Value, but he didn't draw anything.

After class at five in the afternoon and having his meal, the good boy Zhao Wenshan sent him another point of Violence Value.

Su Hang casually clicked on the prize wheel, hoping to draw a Divine-Searching Talisman, wanting to see what the Revival Talisman was all about.

```

"Congratulations, you've drawn the Heavenly Turtle Shell, which will allow you to experience everything that will happen in the next three months within a minute. Would you like to use it now?" a slightly flirtatious voice echoed in his mind.

Su Hang was stunned for a moment, then sat down on a nearby bench and whispered, "Use it!"

Instantly, there was a sensation of the world spinning, as his consciousness entered the future timeline.

A minute later, Su Hang opened his eyes, breathing rapidly, his eyes filled with immense sadness and pain.

What he had just experienced was too real, so real that he was completely immersed in it, so real that the mere thought of those scenes made it hard for him to breathe.

A demon cultivator from the Devouring Moon Ancient Clan, an Earthly True Man, had laid down a Life-Devouring Moon Formation in his hometown, Mei County, afflicting over eight hundred thousand people with the Life-Devouring Talisman.

Once the Life-Devouring Talisman entered the body, the person would become a resource for the cultivators of the Devouring Moon Ancient Clan, their life essence gradually consumed, leaving them with at most three months to live.

Grandpa and parents were weakening day by day, aging, and finally left him with reluctance.

More than eight hundred thousand people from Mei County died day by day, turning the beautiful and prosperous Mei County into a land of resentment soaring to the heavens, a Nine Nether Ghost Domain...

Su Hang brushed away the dreadful scenes from his mind, just as the conversation of two female students passing by reached his ears.

"Tang Lifen arrived in our Weiyang City today; they say the fans blocked the airport just to receive her."

"I know, Tang Lifen is going to Mei County to film. Mei County is my hometown."

...

Tang Lifen is a popular leading actress in Huaxia, with stunning beauty and graceful charm. Any television drama she stars in guarantees sky-high ratings, making her the current queen of TV ratings, on par with Liu Qing in popularity.

In that recent experience, Tang Lifen, having drawn the Life-Devouring Talisman, committed suicide by jumping off a building in Mei County.

"May 30th, 2018!" Su Hang glanced at the time on his phone and nearly jumped in shock.

The Earthly True Man was to activate the Devouring Moon Ancient Formation on May 31st, 2018—tomorrow.

"I must stop him," Su Hang clenched his fist.

The Earthly True Man is a powerhouse in the True Core Realm, the second great realm of martial arts, while he has only managed to harness a tiny bit of Inner Strength, easily killable by a casual move from the adversary.

But what of it.

He has the experience of cultivation and battle from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven; he doesn't believe he can't kill a mere Earthly True Man.

"Earthly True Man, wait for me to take your life!" Su Hang looked up information about train stations and bus stations. It was a bit late, and there were no more transports to Mei County today.

He contemplated hitchhiking near the highway, but as soon as he reached the school gate, he saw a large group of entertainment reporters.

As soon as those reporters saw him, they rushed towards him like starving wolves scenting meat, their eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light.

There were seven or eight pedestrians behind him, and they all rushed toward him as well, ready to encircle him. These entertainment reporters were indeed brave and battle-hardened.

"Su Hang, get in the car!" Li Xiaowei's car pulled up beside him.

Su Hang quickly got in, and they managed to break out of the encirclement.
