Seeing the buzz online, Fenric opened the Samsara Forum.
At the top of the forum, a post titled "Is the Shura God Really Washed Up?" had exploded in popularity.
It had apparently been posted that morning, and by now had garnered over a thousand replies.
Fenric tapped on it.
The original poster had written:
"I woke up today and saw people saying the Shura God is washed up? To that, I only have one response: Heh.
Just because Shura God earned an SS-rating last night? You think that's all there is to it? You fools don't get it at all.
The dungeon 'Kung Fu Hustle'—you think his main goal was to complete some system mission?
No.
That SS evaluation? He got it without even trying.
Think I'm bluffing? Let me break it down. I was there last night when Shura God ran 'Kung Fu Hustle'. A few of my friends were too.
According to official strategy guides, the strongest enemies in that dungeon are supposed to be the landlady and landlord couple from Pig Sty Alley, right?
Well, guess what?
Trash.
At best, they're skilled. But they're not top-tier.
The real bosses? Fire CloudEvil God and Sing, especially Sing. That guy's terrifying—his overall power definitely hits A-rank!
And guess what? Shura didn't target them because of the mission—he sought them out just for their kung fu!
Yeah, you heard right. Right after entering the dungeon, Shura killed Brother Ric from the Axe Gang and took over as their leader like it was nothing. No one dared to oppose him.
Then he spent the rest of the time focusing solely on those two!
Let me describe them a bit.
Fire Cloud is a bald old man, looks about fifty. Sing looks older than he really is—years of hardship in his eyes.
But hear me now: don't try to copy Shura God's method.
First off, Sing wasn't some prodigy from the start. Just a nobody. The only way he leveled up was by getting beaten—badly.
Each time he got thrashed, his power spiked.
Eventually, he had to be beaten so hard that his meridians broke. Only then could he rise again, reborn through Nirvana, awakening both Ren and Du meridians.
But to do that, he needed someone powerful to break him.
Right now, the only one who can do that is Fire Cloud.
But don't think Fire Cloud's some gentle old man. The guy's nickname is 'The Ultimate Killer King!'.
The only reason he was even civil to Shura was because Shura earned his respect. Try approaching him without that kind of strength? He'll end you.
In the original plot, Brother Ric just yelled at Fire Cloud—and got his neck snapped for it.
(Note: The previous Samsara run.)
Fire Cloud doesn't care about weaklings. Only true martial artists matter to him.
So even if you do find Sing somehow, it's meaningless if Fire Cloud refuses to cooperate.
Honestly, it's thanks to Fire Cloud that Sing became what he did.
Without getting his bones shattered and his body broken by Fire Cloud's fists, Sing never would've gone through Nirvana, never awakened both Ren and Du, never become a top-tier master.
The landlord and landlady? They couldn't have done that for him.
And even if you somehow replicate everything Shura did, without a Temporary Comprehension Card, you're wasting your time.
Like I said—Shura's path is his alone!
You? You'll fail."
"One more thing.
You think Shura was after mission rewards? Nah.
If that were the case, he would've taken on the 'Midnight Ring' difficulty instead.
And that 'Buddha Palm Technique' he unleashed at the end? I saw him use it. With one strike, he reduced a three-story building to rubble!
I've got nothing but respect for the Shura God!
People used to say his strength was A-rank. But now? I'm telling you—he's way beyond that.
If you ever run into him in a dungeon, here's my advice: run."
The post was long, describing Shura's actions in vivid detail.
After reading it, most netizens had only one word to say: Respect.
"Fk! If this post is true, Shura God is insane!"
"SS evaluations like it's nothing? I kneel!"
"Shura God—forever divine!"
"Now I wanna see those jealous haters calling him 'washed up' again. Bet their faces hurt from all the slaps!"
Fenric smiled faintly and closed the post.
He didn't care what people were saying about his performance in the Kung Fu world.
Because no one could imitate him.
First of all, Fire Cloud was hidden in a mental hospital.
Unless someone knew the plot, there was no way they'd find him on the first day like he did till he came on his own.
Even if they did locate him, without overwhelming strength, Fire Cloud wouldn't spare them a glance.
In the original plot, Brother Sum had simply shouted at him—and got his neck broken for it.
To Fire Cloud, those without power were insects.
Without Fire Cloud's cooperation, finding Sing was pointless.
In truth, it was Fire Cloud who made Sing into a true martial god.
Without his devastating fists breaking every bone in Sing's body, there could be no rebirth. No awakening of Ren and Du. No ascension.
Even the landlady and landlord wouldn't be able to do that.
And let's say someone managed to follow every step of Fenric's plan.
Without a Temporary Comprehension Card, it would all be for nothing.
The poster was right.
Fenric's strategy was tailor-made—for him alone.
Anyone else trying to copy it?
Impossible.
Fenric exited the forum and entered the strategy section.
Time to check the walkthrough for the eighth floor.
At that moment…
A loud explosion boomed from outside the school.
BOOM—!
Even from inside the classroom, the ground shook violently.
There'd been an explosion outside!
Everyone turned toward the windows in shock.
Fenric, too, was startled. He locked his phone, stood up, and looked out the window.
