"A year? How could I possibly stay on this Heavenly Extremity Peak for a year! Just you wait, all of you wait. Once I descend from this Heavenly Extremity Peak, all of you will regret this!" Xing Peng clenched his fists tightly.
Heavenly Extremity Peak is a place specifically used by the Xing family to punish family disciples. It is a solitary peak, treacherous in terrain, and the mountain is filled with a large number of ferocious beasts. Warriors who have not reached the Heaven Level are simply unable to ascend this Heavenly Extremity Peak, let alone descend from it.
However, although there are many ferocious beasts on Heavenly Extremity Peak, the summit, due to being restricted by the Xing family, does not have other ferocious beasts approaching it. Aside from humans who can leave, beasts cannot come up.
Xing Peng put all his circumstances behind him, frowned, and walked to the edge of the peak, looking down. With that look, Xing Peng felt dizzy, unable to see the bottom at all, and the peak was enveloped in a large amount of cloud mist, making it appear like those mythical immortal mountains.
"Heaven Level, I must quickly advance to the Heaven Level so I can leave this place!" Xing Peng clenched his fists again, then touched his stomach, thinking about finding something to eat. 'Xing Peng' has been on this Heavenly Extremity Peak for three days now, without eating anything, and was very hungry.
The summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak has an area of about five hundred meters wide, with no food at the top except for an artificially made cave; the rest of the place is bare. To find food, one must go down the mountain, where some fruit trees grow.
However, although Xing Peng has not eaten for three days, because he just broke through to the Mid-Yellow Level and absorbed some Vital Energy of heaven and earth, he is still quite energetic at the moment. After looking around carefully and confirming that there really was nothing to eat nearby, Xing Peng focused his attention on the mountain below, his brows tightly knitted.
Xing Peng surveyed the mountain below. Knowing that descending was very dangerous, he had to think of a way to go down. He couldn't always stay here. Even if his strength could rapidly improve here, he would eventually starve to death.
Thinking of the dangers of descending, Xing Peng's hatred for the Xing family grew a bit more. Knowing that he was an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts, yet they placed him on a mountaintop without a bit of food. If it weren't for his transmigration here, he wouldn't need a year's time; in another day or two, Xing Peng would surely die. This was clearly intending for him to die.
Heavenly Extremity Peak is a very strangely shaped peak. From a distance, its summit looks like a millstone forcibly embedded at the top of the mountain. Below it, the summit and the rest of the mountain are almost completely different, with the 'millstone' being over a hundred meters tall.
If Xing Peng wants to descend, he must first find a way from the top of the millstone to the bottom, and then fall onto the mountain below. But the peak of the mountain is much smaller than the millstone, and the surroundings of the millstone are bare, without any path or even a slight protrusion to leverage.
If the 'millstone' were smaller than the mountain tip it rests on, with Xing Peng's current strength, descending from a hundred meters would not be impossible. However, now the summit is much wider than the mountain tip it rests on, which relatively increases the danger. With his current strength, he is very likely to fall from the summit. Heavenly Extremity Peak is rarely visited by humans, being thirty-eight thousand meters tall; a careless fall from the summit would certainly be fatal.
"It seems that to descend, I must practice more to further improve my strength. Additionally, this technique of light body movement must also be practiced more!"
After carefully examining the summit, Xing Peng dismissed the idea of immediately descending and decided to practice martial arts first. With his current strength, he wouldn't starve in a short period.
Due to the inability to leverage anywhere on the peak, the first martial art Xing Peng thought of was 'Nine Yin God Claw'. Now, he could only rely on the strong claw force to slowly climb down to the mountain top below.
'Nine Yin God Claw' does not have a big reputation in the martial arts world, but mentioning its other name, 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw', is enough to send chills down the spines of countless martial artists on Earth from the previous life.

Everyone knows that the 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw' is very vicious, requiring human heads to practice this skill, but they don't know that the 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw' is actually a result of the wrong practice of 'Nine Yin God Claw'. 'Nine Yin God Claw' does not require human heads for practice; rocks, plants, and trees can all be used for training, especially when paired with a unique medicinal wine, making the practice even more effective.
Because Xing Peng practiced the 'Nine Yin God Claw' in his previous life, this time's practice was quite proficient. Although there were no unique herbs to complement the claw technique, he could only make do with practice on the summit for now, secretly thinking that after leaving this place, he would find herbs to make medicinal wine to soak his hands, so as not to cause hidden injuries due to forced practice.
'Elemental Storm' is profound and vast, containing the 'I Ching Bone Strengthening Chap-ter' which can enhance physique, a healing chap-ter, an acupoint chap-ter, and various unique martial arts skills such as 'Heart Piercing Palm' and 'Soul Transferring Technique'.
Xing Peng practiced martial arts for two days. Although he focused on practicing 'Nine Yin God Claw' and 'Wind Shadow Steps', his realm also improved again during these two days of practice. Although it wasn't as rapid as when he first arrived here, breaking through two small ranks in a short one or two minutes, his strength had now broken through from the Mid-Yellow Level to the early stage of the Human Level.
With his strength reaching the early stage of the Human Level, and both claw force and light body technique nearly perfected, Xing Peng now had enough confidence to descend from the summit. As the two days just passed, he briefly regulated his breath and walked towards the edge of the summit. Then, taking a deep breath and circulating the internal technique to let Profound Qi roam through his body, he flashed towards the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
Suddenly, a fierce wind howled, blowing painfully against Xing Peng's face. His heart thumped wildly due to the extreme action. As he rapidly fell, just about to pass below the millstone, he fiercely executed the 'Nine Yin God Claw' towards the mountain wall.
"Rip!"
His hand, unsurprisingly, penetrated into the mountain wall, immediately causing severe pain in his arm, making Xing Peng's face turn pale. Then, gritting his teeth, his left hand slapped the bottom of the millstone, and his right hand was immediately pulled out from the mountain wall. Moreover, as his right hand was pulled out, his body, leveraging the force of the left hand slap, performed a 360-degree spin completely detaching from the mountain wall. Leveraging the pull and slap, he executed the 'Wind Shadow Steps', and then, with a shake of both arms, soared up like a large bird, gliding towards the mountain below. His breathing through the nose and mouth had already stopped, instantly switching to internal breathing. Profound Qi flowed unceasingly in his meridians. His body, light as a feather, leveraged the howling fierce wind and the mountain's air currents to support his weightless body, truly as if riding the wind.
Carefully grasping the air currents around him, he continuously adjusted his direction like a hawk or bird flying towards the mountain top below. In the blink of an eye, he flew out more than ten meters, not needing to leverage to breathe, still floating in the air, truly like a bird.
Although the 'Wind Shadow Steps' executed by Xing Peng now could not reach the level of riding the air to fly, now descending from the high mountain top, influenced by the fierce wind and air currents plus Xing Peng's previous control over the 'Wind Shadow Steps', this moment was almost as if he was flying.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Xing Peng completely landed on the mountain top below. The moment he landed, without waiting to observe his surroundings, a huge dark shadow suddenly pounced towards him, bringing a strong stench of blood with it as it approached.
Smelling the strong blood stench, Xing Peng's face suddenly changed, nearly vomited by the smell. The blood stench was indeed a bit too unpleasant. While his expression changed, Xing Peng's movements did not stagnate; as the dark shadow pounced, the 'Wind Shadow Steps' were executed again, narrowly dodging beside the shadow. As he dodged, his hands instinctively executed the 'Nine Yin God Claw' towards the shadow.
"Thud!" Blood splattered, and the fierce beast let out a mournful howl, followed by a fierce wind flying towards Xing Peng's head. Xing Peng dodged again, then the 'Nine Yin God Claw' was continuously executed.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Three muffled groans followed, and the dark shadow suddenly collapsed on the ground. After it collapsed, Xing Peng finally had the chance to see clearly that the dark shadow was a black bear over one person tall.
This black bear, now lying on the ground, looked at Xing Peng with bloodthirsty eyes, as if ready to attack again at any moment. Its body was covered in blood, with a large amount of blood continuously flowing out.
Looking at the black bear, Xing Peng took a deep breath. Although he had thought before descending from the mountain top that he would be attacked once he landed, he did not expect the attacker to be a black bear, and this black bear completely exceeded the existence of an ordinary black bear.
"Truly a fierce beast, my 'Nine Yin God Claw' is unstoppable, hitting its vital points four times in a row, causing such heavy damage, yet it still hasn't died!" Xing Peng looked at the bloody wounds on the black bear's neck and head, extremely surprised. An ordinary black bear, if inflicted with such heavy damage by him, would have already been dead.
