People are devouring everything; I have a bucket list.

"What's going on?"

Startled awake by the notification sound, Xiao Yang subconsciously got up from the ground and looked around.

Upon realizing he was still in the basement, he paused for a moment before snapping out of it and immediately checking the smartwatch on his wrist.

As the fingerprint is pressed, a projected image pops up on the smartwatch.

Xiao Yang immediately noticed the time displayed on the watch's projection.

『2056年7月9日，00点31分。』

Missed calls: 13

Missed text messages: 7

Xiao Yang glanced at the time and immediately realized something was wrong:

"broken!"

Upon checking his missed calls and text messages, Xiao Yang discovered that most of them were from Luo Feng, followed by Zhuge Tao and Wu Tong, with a few from Luo Hua and Luo Hongguo.

The messages mostly inquired about his situation. Apart from that, the Luo family's housewarming banquet was postponed, and they said they would inform him after he came out of seclusion.

"How could this happen?" Xiao Yang slapped his forehead, somewhat bewildered. "Isn't strengthening the dragon blood supposed to only take one day? This is clearly not something that can be done in a day!"

Xiao Yang was somewhat dumbfounded, mainly because he had never encountered this situation before, and therefore had no idea what was going on.

"Could it be because of the bucket list?"

Xiao Yang muttered to himself as he opened his bucket list and glanced at the time.

[Countdown to the search for the last wish: 0.]

The new bucket list has been released, but Xiao Yang is not in a hurry.

He quickly picked up the black gloves that were placed to the side and put them on. Instantly, the black gloves seemed to be like a solution, covering Xiao Yang's entire body and turning him into a complete outfit of a black t-shirt and shorts.

This is the Black God Set, with its special function of automatically changing appearance.

After donning the Black God suit, Xiao Yang sent a message to all his correspondents via his smartwatch to let them know he had safely exited the pass, and then went straight to the training room in the villa.

Then, Xiao Yang went directly to the punching power tester that occupied an entire wall, and like opening a blind box, he threw a punch without exerting any force or amplitude.

With a loud bang!

The numbers on the punching power tester flashed rapidly before freezing.

302013kg

"302 tons?" Xiao Yang was stunned when he saw the number. "That exceeds the limit of 256 tons for a high-level War God, right?"

Normally speaking, when an Earthling cultivates to the peak of the High-Level War God realm, which is the ninth level of the Apprentice realm, their punching power will be within the range of 256 tons, with a maximum fluctuation of one ton.

But now, Xiao Yang has clearly exceeded the upper limit of 256 tons and will move into the range of 302 tons.

This situation made Xiao Yang think of a possibility.

He quickly opened the bucket list interface and tapped on his own panel.

Name: Xiao Yang

[Level: Apprentice 9]

[Innate Secret Technique: Flame-Flame Fruit, Pirate Physique.]

[Original amplitude: 1.]

Xiao Yang focused his mind on his panel, and finally, some more content appeared on the level interface.

[Genetic Multiplier: 2x (Pirate Physique Bonus)]

"As expected... the gene count has increased."

Xiao Yang thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

In the world of Swallowed Star, if someone unleashes a basic power several times stronger than others at the same level, it undoubtedly proves that this person's genetic multiplier is higher than that of ordinary people.

In other words, they are different in terms of their innate racial foundation.

On Earth, whether human or monster, everyone is born with a genetic multiple of 1.

It seems that Xiao Yang's genetic makeup doubled under the stimulation of dragon blood because he integrated with the Xiao Yang origin of the One Piece world.

"In other words, if I were to activate my Origin Amplification now, my punching power would be four times that of an ordinary person. If I were to further unleash Force Amplification, fully transform into a beast, and imbue it with Haki..."

'hiss---!!!"

This innate advantage left Xiao Yang speechless.

His current actual level is only at the level of a beginner in the High-level War God realm, which is the strength of a 9th-level Apprentice, and he is considered a novice among High-level War Gods.

At this stage, an ordinary person's punching power should just exceed the 128 tons of a mid-level war god, and be moving towards the limit of a high-level war god.

However, because Xiao Yang's gene multiplier was 2, his punching power directly reached 302 tons, exceeding the limit of a high-level war god by a full 46 tons.

Xiao Yang's original base was 32 tons, but this time, due to the activation of the dragon blood, his potential was fully unleashed, and it increased by 4.7 times, almost reaching the theoretical upper limit of the dragon blood's amplitude.

"A single dose of dragon blood actually increased my strength this much?"

If it weren't for the fact that there were still powerful councilors on the Swallowed Star side who surpassed even the God of War, Xiao Yang could have simply said, "I don't eat beef."

Of course, even if there are councilors, with Xiao Yang's current foundation, plus the Flame-Flame Fruit, full beast transformation, and Armament Haki, he is truly qualified to fight a planetary-level opponent on equal terms.

Xiao Yang's only weakness is that he can't fly, but if he learns the Moonwalk of the Navy's Six Styles, this gap will be quickly reduced.

If he were to unleash his full potential, Xiao Yang estimated that he might be able to compete for a place among the top five on Earth.

"Seeking investment from Extreme Martial Arts Academy was definitely the right decision!!"

Not counting the domain manuals given by Hong, the complete Nine-fold Thunder Blade manual and Dragon Blood were all obtained by "free" from the Ultimate Martial Arts School.

The Limitless Martial Arts Academy has only one requirement for Xiao Yang: to maintain order within the academy and to kill monsters to protect humanity.

Other requirements are practically zero, and they also provide 100 million in pocket money every month.

With such treatment, it's no wonder Luo Feng never considered leaving the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

With his strength skyrocketing and the assumption that he was among the top five in the world, Xiao Yang's previously suppressed impulse began to stir.

He really wanted to find something to beat up to help him adapt to his rapidly improving physique.

to be honest.

He wants to eat beef!

And coincidentally, the days he was unconscious were the time to update his bucket list.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang immediately clicked on the new last wish.

The first thing that caught his eye was the 'last words' filled with such intense resentment that even Xiao Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

What a lousy village! A lousy village! A truly lousy village!!

I've had enough!! The Blood Mist Village, the Kaguya Clan, the Dark Side's pursuit... who has ever cared about me? I'm a cripple! I'm not even as good as a human being!!

I just wanted to live a peaceful life, but just because they have power and influence, they set the rules and have the final say? They're forcing me to do kamikaze attacks?

The Mizukage is truly amazing! Kaguya Clan Chief is awesome! Everyone loves listening to your nonsense!

I'm determined to climb to the top, step by step, one step at a time! I want to become the Water Shadow!

I don't want anyone to bully me anymore... I can't take it anymore...

I want to crush all those bastards who formulated the Blood Mist policy, those high-ranking officials who treat people as expendable resources, and those high and mighty nobles...

I want to sit in that chair! I want to be the Mizukage!! I want to be the highest Mizukage! The Mizukage who calls the shots in Kirigakure!!!

— Naruto World · Xiao Yang, Last Words

As Xiao Yang looked at the suicide note, although he felt the style was somewhat unsettling, the corners of his mouth gradually turned into a grin, and his face became increasingly ferocious.

It seems Xiao Yang won't be able to find the sandbag.

But his Imperial Escape Technique: Nine Clans Separation Technique was already desperately needed!
