The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

By the time Ye Xiao had entered the fourth realm, he had reached a completely new level.

His achievements related to "Path of the Strong" have also been updated.

And new objectives and tasks have emerged.

This time.

It's still the path of a martial god's growth.

However, the difficulty has increased significantly.

[Do you choose to embark on the path of becoming a Martial God?]

【whether?】

Ye Xiao made the choice without exception.

"yes!"

After he made his selection, a system message box popped up in front of him.

The Path to Becoming a Martial God

[First Path: Reach 1000 million realm advancements in your current realm and defeat a ninth-realm enemy! Receive a 100% base reward bonus!]

[Second Path: If your current realm reaches 1 million realm advancements, defeat a tenth-realm enemy! Receive a 500% bonus to your base rewards!]

[Third Path: If your current realm meets the requirement of advancing 10 billion realms, defeat an enemy at the eleventh realm! Receive a 1000% bonus to your base rewards!]

Now it's Ye Xiao's turn to choose one of the three paths to growth.

After reading it, Ye Xiao's face showed a look of surprise.

"These three paths are all complex!"

"The starting point already requires killing enemies at the ninth level."

"The third path requires killing an enemy at the eleventh realm."

"The eleventh realm? Isn't that the transcendent realm?"

Based on Ye Xiao's current situation, his cultivation level is the fourth realm, and his physical strength is equal to that of the ninth realm.

Could these two factors combined give him the strength to compete with those in the Ninth Realm?

Ye Xiao expressed his confusion about this.

However, his consistent choice is to choose the most challenging path!

then.

Ye Xiao directly chose the "third path"!

【Ding! 】

[Host has made their selection! The third path to becoming a Martial God! Once the conditions are met, the host can immediately advance to the next major realm!]

After Ye Xiao chose his growth task in the third realm.

It has undergone a series of improvements and evolutions.

Ye Xiao couldn't wait to open his attribute panel and check his current attribute status.

.......

Ye Xiao noticed.

His requirement for [advancement strength] has already reached 60%.

In other words, he needs to use 60% of his body's strength to punch in order to advance to a higher level.

This is clearly a significant improvement over the initial requirement of only 30%.

Afterwards, Ye Xiao briefly glanced at his current strength.

Then they packed up all their luggage and spoils.

He prepared to depart from the Frost Giants' Throne.

Heading to the next place.

"So far, the root cause of the Frostthroat riot has not been found."

Ye Xiao muttered to himself as he walked toward the passage behind the Frost Giant's Throne.

With the fall of the Frost Giant King, the door to this passage was opened.

Ye Xiao followed this passage to the deeper parts of the Frostthroat world.

Deep within the ice core!

As usual, he unfolded the map that the old man had given him.

Then they studied the conditions deep within the ice core.

"Deep within the Ice Core lies the heart of Frostthroat, a vast underground cavern..."

Ye Xiao examined every area and corner deep within the ice core.

Here, stalactite-like ice pillars hang from the cave ceiling, and the ground is a flat layer of ice, like a giant mirror.

The temperature here reached a terrifying minus 130 degrees Celsius.

Ordinary high-level experts cannot even breathe, because the air in their lungs will freeze instantly.

A faint dragon's might permeated the air, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Ye Xiao was already wearing a specially made breathing mask, a piece of equipment that Old Man Hei had given him when he came.

There are also four sub-regions here.

[The Hall of Dragon's Rest: On the south side of the cave, an ancient frost dragon lies frozen. The dragon is hundreds of feet long, its scales a deep blue, and even in its slumber, it exudes a suffocating aura. Cracks cover the ice, from which black demonic energy seeps.]

[The Frozen Throne: On the north side of the cave, there is a throne built of dragon bones, said to be the throne of Frostthroat's former master—an ancient frost dragon king. Behind the throne is a secret passage leading to the Dragons' Rest Abyss.]

[Ancient Altar: On the east side of the cave, there is a dilapidated altar with sealing runes engraved on it, and golden fist-shaped imprints on it.]

[Ice Marrow Vein: Located on the west side of the cave, this vein contains the extremely rare mineral "Ice Marrow." Ice Marrow is colorless and transparent, containing life energy; a single drop can revive the dead and heal bones.]

Ye Xiao quickly scanned the descriptions of the four sub-areas.

"With the deep ice core as the center, the four directions of east, south, west, and north correspond to four regions respectively."

"The Hall of Dragon's Rest, which seals away the ancient frost dragon, could this be related to Frostthroat's rampage?"

"The Frozen Throne, a throne built of dragon bones, represents power and status. Will Frostthroat's rebellion arise from a struggle for power and status?"

"An ancient altar with a golden fist mark on it? Could it be left by the nameless ancestor again? If so, this place is worth a visit."

"The Ice Marrow vein—this is undoubtedly a high-value mining area. We should go see if we can mine some to take out. A single drop can revive the dead and heal bones; the effect is simply too incredible!"

after awhile.

Ye Xiao arrived at the depths of the ice core and stood in the center of a huge underground cavern.

It's completely empty here.

But Ye Xiao can see in all four directions: east, south, west, and north.

It clearly possesses passages leading to four sub-regions.

Ye Xiao stood in the empty space, talking to himself curiously.

"This space is so empty, and there's absolutely nothing there?"

Just then.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt a slight tremor under his feet.

He subconsciously looked down at his feet.

There was a thick layer of ice separating them.

Beneath the solid ice, a pair of objects shimmered with the color of frost crystals...

Dragon Eyes!
