I Got This Strong by Eating

A Bao is a kitchen laborer at Qingyun Sect. The only technique he knows is the basic Yellow-Tier Low-Grade cultivation art, the Solid Essence Method. Everyone in the sect knows it, and it cultivates as slowly as a snail crawling.

Everyone laughs at him for being useless. Even outer sect disciples can kick him around.

But no one knows that this technique circulates on its own inside him.

It circulates when he eats, when he sleeps, when he walks, and even when he gets beaten up. What takes others ten years of arduous cultivation takes him just three meals.

At the sect tournament, he sends a genius at the peak of the Yellow Tier flying with one punch, despite being only at the Yellow-Tier Intermediate level. When heavenly tribulation descends and others barely survive, he yawns. "That's it?"

Years later, A Bao stands atop the continent, rubs his belly, and wonders: What should I eat next?
