The genius who counterattacked the mainland

In that remote valley, Xu Tiancai practiced diligently every day, oblivious to the sweat soaking his clothes. Like a strict teacher, the gloomy man constantly corrected his moves and taught him the more profound essence of martial arts.

One day, as Xu Tiancai was sweating profusely while practicing his swordsmanship, a strange vibration suddenly emanated from the valley. He paused and looked around in confusion. A brilliant light flashed, and a magician in magnificent robes appeared before them.

The magician held a staff inlaid with dazzling gemstones, his eyes revealing mystery and arrogance. He raised his chin slightly and looked at Xu Tiancai and the gloomy man. "This is a quiet place for cultivation."

The gloomy man frowned slightly and looked at the magician warily, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?" The magician smiled slightly, "I am a well-traveled magician. I sensed the powerful aura of this place and came here to investigate."

Xu Tiancai looked at the magician curiously, a desire for unknown power welling up in his heart. The magician seemed to sense his thoughts and said, "Young man, are you interested in magic?" Xu Tiancai hesitated for a moment and nodded.

A hint of admiration flashed in the magician's eyes. "Magic is a powerful force that can control the elements and cast magical spells. But to master magic, you need strong mental strength and understanding."

At this moment, the gloomy man spoke: "Although magic is powerful, it also has its drawbacks. Xu Tiancai, you must not be confused by the power of magic and forget your own martial arts path." Xu Tiancai fell into deep thought. He knew that what the gloomy man said made sense, but the charm of magic also made it difficult for him to resist.

The magician ignored the gloomy man's warning. He gently waved his staff, and a flame shot out from the tip, instantly illuminating the entire valley. "See? This is the power of magic."

Xu Tiancai's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock. The magician continued, "If you're willing, I can teach you some basic magic knowledge." Xu Tiancai looked at the gloomy man, seeking his advice. The gloomy man was silent for a moment, then said, "You can learn magic, but don't neglect martial arts."

With the gloomy man's consent, Xu Tiancai excitedly asked the magician for advice. The magician began to patiently explain the principles and spells of magic to him. Xu Tiancai listened carefully, trying to remember every detail.

As time went on, Xu Tiancai gradually mastered some simple magic. He could summon a small fireball or create a breeze. Although these spells were still very weak, they made him feel the magic of magic.

However, just as Xu Tiancai was immersed in the world of magic, a loud noise came from outside the valley. The gloomy man's face changed, "Oh no, someone is coming."

They quickly walked out of the valley and saw a group of men in black walking towards them. Leading them was a man in elegant attire from the Black Soul Hall. Seeing Xu Tiancai and the magician, the man in elegant attire sneered, "I didn't expect you to find a helper. But, don't even think about escaping today."

The magician looked at the man in fancy clothes without fear, "The Black Soul Palace has committed many evil things. Today I will rid the world of this evil." As he spoke, he waved his staff, ready to cast a spell.

The man in the elegant suit waved his hand, and the men in black immediately rushed forward. The gloomy man also drew his sword and rushed forward. Xu Tiancai stood in the middle, his heart filled with tension. He knew that this would be a difficult battle.

The magician attacked first, chanting a spell and sending fireballs hurtling towards the men in black. They dodged, but some were struck and fell to the ground. The gloomy man, like a ghost, weaved among them, his sword wielding a stream of cold light, beheading them one by one.

Xu Tiancai was not to be outdone, and he used all his martial arts and magic to engage in a fierce battle with the man in black. Sometimes he used his sword skills, and sometimes he summoned small fireballs, making it difficult for the man in black to defend himself.

The battle lasted a long time, with casualties on both sides. Seeing the situation was dire, the man in elegant attire suddenly roared, emitting a powerful aura. He waved his hands, and a black light shot towards Xu Tiancai and the others.

The magician quickly waved his staff, creating a magical barrier in front of them. Black light struck the barrier with a loud bang. The barrier trembled violently, but ultimately blocked the attack.

Seeing his first strike fail, the man in the finery prepared to launch a more powerful attack. Just then, a melodious flute sound suddenly emanated from the distance. The sound contained such powerful force that it stopped everyone in their tracks.

A figure slowly approached from a distance. It was a young archer. He held an exquisite longbow, his eyes revealing calmness and confidence. He walked up to Xu Tiancai and the others and looked at the man in the elegant attire. "Men of the Black Soul Palace, your evil deeds end here."

The man in the finery narrowed his eyes. "Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Black Soul Temple?" The archer smiled faintly. "I am an archer, fighting for justice. Today, I will not let you succeed."

With that, the archer drew his longbow, and a sharp arrow shot out instantly. Like lightning, the arrow flew towards the man in the ornate clothes, who quickly dodged. But the archer's skill was so great that the arrow kept chasing him.

The man in fancy clothes was enraged and attacked again, engaging in a fierce duel with the archer. Xu Tiancai, the magician, and the gloomy man also took the opportunity to join the battle and engaged in a melee with the man in black.

In battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that his multi-professional skills began to play a huge role. He could flexibly use martial arts, magic, and archery skills according to different situations, making it difficult for the enemy to predict.

After a fierce battle, the Black Soul Hall's men were finally driven back. The man in elegant attire fled in disarray, leading the remaining black-clad men. Xu Tiancai and the others breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest.

The archer walked up to Xu Tiancai and said with a smile, "You're quite good, able to flexibly utilize a variety of skills in combat." Xu Tiancai looked at him gratefully, "Thank you for your help. May I ask why you are here?" The archer said, "I've been tracking the people from the Black Soul Palace. I heard they were here, so I rushed over."

The magician also came over. "Thanks to your help this time, we might not be able to withstand the attack of the Dark Soul Temple otherwise." The archer said modestly, "We are all fighting for justice. No need to be polite."

The gloomy man looked at them and said, "The Black Soul Hall won't give up. We must improve our strength as soon as possible." Xu Tiancai nodded. "That's right. I will continue to work hard and master more skills."

From that day on, Xu Tiancai began to practice harder with the help of the magician and the archer. He not only learned magic and archery skills, but also tried to learn knowledge of other professions.

During his training, Xu Tiancai met an alchemist. Alchemists are a mysterious profession that can enhance their strength by refining various potions and magic items.

Seeing Xu Tiancai's potential, the alchemist decided to help him. He taught Xu Tiancai the basics of alchemy and taught him how to make some simple potions. These potions could restore his strength and boost his power, greatly aiding Xu Tiancai's cultivation.

As time went on, Xu Tiancai grew stronger. His name gradually spread throughout the martial arts world, becoming the focus of many people's attention. However, he knew that he still had a long way to go and the threat of the Black Soul Palace still existed.

On a quiet night, Xu Tiancai sat alone in the valley, thinking about his future. He knew that he had to work hard to bring true peace to the world.

At this moment, a mysterious light suddenly appeared before him. The light seemed to contain some powerful force, which shocked Xu Tiancai. He stood up and looked at the light curiously.

The light gradually faded, and a mysterious figure appeared before him. It was a white-haired old man, his eyes revealing profound wisdom. The old man looked at Xu Tiancai and said with a smile, "Young man, you have extraordinary potential. But to truly become a strong man, you still need to go through more trials."

Xu Tiancai looked at the old man respectfully. "Excuse me, who are you, senior? What advice do you have for me?" The old man replied, "I am a sage who has traveled the world. Seeing your efforts in pursuing justice, I have come to give you some guidance. The Black Soul Hall is a powerful force. You need to unite more forces to contend with it."

Xu Tiancai fell into deep thought. He knew the old man was right. He decided to leave the valley and find more companions to fight against the Black Soul Hall together.

Thus, Xu Tiancai embarked on a new journey. His figure appeared particularly determined in the moonlight, as he knew that his adventure had just begun...
