Water is the softest—and the strongest!
The destructive power of just a compressed water sphere was astonishing—what if it were a river, or an entire lake?
What if a whole lake were compressed into a single droplet and launched? The destructive force would be unimaginable.
Jiang Fang couldn't even fathom it.
It was too powerful—too overwhelming.
Among all the planetary-level beings on Earth, she'd never heard of anyone with such an overwhelming ability.
This once again reminded Jiang Fang of that dual cultivation technique.
That technique definitely harbored great secrets. Compared to so-called high-grade neutralizers, that cultivation method was the true treasure.
Moreover, she could feel that after breaking through using that technique, her body had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Her body, mind, and soul had been cleansed. The world and nature around her seemed much clearer now.
This wasn't the usual transformation one would expect upon reaching planetary level.
Her comprehension had improved as well.
The sword and movement techniques she had once mastered now seemed full of flaws.
Things she couldn't understand before were now crystal clear.
She then tried out a few other water manipulation techniques—such as condensing water into ice or mist.
The three forms of water—liquid, solid, and gas—were all basic physics.
And for each form, she could already think of several applications.
Meanwhile, in the Kyoto Base City—
Tang Qin was equally shocked.
Just like Jiang Fang, she had broken through—to the peak of Planetary Level Stage 1.
Her gene energy and physical strength had reached six million kilograms—far surpassing previous limits.
She felt that with just a bit more training, breaking through to Stage 2 would be effortless.
Her ability belonged to the Earth category—more specifically, earth manipulation.
Outside Kyoto Base City, a figure tore through the sky and landed—Tang Qin.
Upon reaching planetary level, she naturally wanted to enjoy the thrill of flying freely.
Her speed surpassed expectations, hitting seven times the speed of sound, leaving a long white streak across the sky.
As is well known:
Planetary Stage 1 = Mach 3 to 5.4
Planetary Stage 2 = Mach 5.4 to 9.9
And so on...
Her current speed already rivaled Stage 2.
Not only her speed, but her strength and durability were far above other Stage 1 peaks.
Landing, Tang Qin laughed joyfully, her emotions surging.
Once she calmed down, she activated her powers.
"Rumble—!"
The earth shook as massive spikes of rock erupted toward the sky, some dozens of meters tall.
Then—"Roar!"
A massive, hundred-meter-long earth dragon burst from the ground, soaring into the sky.
It looked vivid and lifelike, its scales gleaming like a real five-clawed golden dragon.
Tang Qin stared at her hands in disbelief, her elegant demeanor completely shattered.
She blinked in awe—this was her doing?
She felt like she'd shifted from a martial artist into a full-blown mage.
But as she played, her source energy rapidly depleted.
In just half a moment, she was drained and dizzy.
Reluctantly, she ceased and returned to the base city.
Flying back, Tang Qin couldn't calm herself—her power was clearly overpowered.
She soon remembered the cultivation method Ye Yu had given them.
That single breakthrough using that method had boosted strength, speed, body resilience, earth control, and even awakened spiritual telekinesis.
It was a total upgrade—like using a GUG (Game Ultimate Gear).
If she continued using this technique, who knew how strong she could become?
And that was without dual cultivation.
What if she did dual cultivate?
"I wonder if Second Sister has broken through too? Did she awaken the same kind of mental power?"
She quickly pulled out her phone and called.
Soon, the call connected. They compared notes—and fell into silence.
Sure enough, both had surpassed expectations, and the technique was clearly responsible.
Or rather—their good little brother Ye Yu was to blame.
But since their source energy wasn't yet enough, using ultimate moves was still a bit taxing.
Once they advanced a few more minor realms, cross-tier battles would be as easy as eating and drinking.
Elsewhere—
Ye Yu also received news of their breakthroughs.
After listening to their reports, he too went silent.
Then he smiled—the stronger they became, the better.
Their strength, speed, resilience, and spiritual power didn't surprise him.
What surprised him was just how powerful their abilities had become post-breakthrough.
Thinking it through...
Ye Yu began to understand why.
Planetary abilities are the result of both soul origin and source energy,
closely linked to domains and laws that one will later comprehend.
The abilities the two had now developed already had the embryonic form of domains and laws—hence the overwhelming power.
With this foundation, understanding full domains and laws would become much easier.
This was all granted by the technique.
Also, their increased strength and speed were due to gene enhancement during breakthrough.
Even if just a one- or two-level boost, it was terrifying.
If Ye Yu could see their stat panels, it would look like this:
Bloodline: Grade 8 (10%)
Soul: x1.0 (40%)
Gene: x1.0 (40%)
"Well then, I'm already cheating—if I'm not just a bit ridiculously OP, what's the point?" Ye Yu thought to himself.
A few days later, at dusk—
"Awooo~~"
A chilling wolf's howl echoed through the steel jungle, followed by a chorus of howls.
On a massive rooftop, a giant silver-white wolf king—dozens of meters long—howled to the sky.
It seemed to be declaring its territory and asserting its dominance.
"Kill!"
Tang Xiang shouted and stepped out with her long legs, crossing hundreds of meters in a single stride.
She leaped dozens of meters into the air, moving nimbly between buildings.
In just a few seconds, she reached the opposing rooftop.
Seeing the Silver Moon Wolf King howling, she didn't hesitate—
She leapt into the sky, her whole body turning into a fiery red blaze, lunging straight for its jaw.
Meanwhile, Fu Junyu, clad in white armor now stained red, launched her attack at the same time.
Her speed even surpassed Tang Xiang's.
Before Tang Xiang's sword reached the wolf's chin, a gleam of her blade had already sliced through its neck.
