I'm the strongest 1

A lone figure stood at the edge of a vast canyon, the wind whipping through his silver hair. His name was Xypher, a 16-year-old boy from the hidden Veyron Clan, known for producing legendary warriors. But unlike his ancestors, he was weak—his power level barely measured 10. In a world where warriors could shatter mountains with a punch, he was nothing.

"Xypher! Get back here!" A loud voice echoed through the canyon. It was Master Gorun, his short-tempered but wise martial arts instructor. The old man had a thick mustache, a massive belly, and a habit of hitting Xypher on the head with his staff whenever he messed up.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Xypher groaned, rubbing his head.

He jogged back to the training grounds, a rugged plateau filled with broken stone pillars and deep craters—evidence of previous training sessions. The other disciples were already practicing, their fists glowing with energy as they smashed through boulders like they were paper.

Master Gorun narrowed his eyes at Xypher. "You're late again, lazy brat! If you want to be a warrior, you need discipline!"

Xypher sighed. "Master, no matter how much I train, my power level won't go up. Maybe I'm just not meant to be strong."

Gorun's mustache twitched in irritation. "Hmph! Strength isn't just about numbers. It's about willpower! Now, enough whining—today, we begin real training!"

The Trial of Endurance

Master Gorun led Xypher deep into the Terror Forest, a dangerous place filled with wild beasts and hidden traps.

"Your task is simple," Gorun said. "Survive in this forest for one month without my help. If you run away, you're out of the clan!"

Xypher's eyes widened. "One month?! Alone?! What if I get eaten?!"

"Then you'll make a tasty meal!" Gorun laughed and vanished in a flash, leaving Xypher alone.

A rustling sound made Xypher turn around. A massive Steel Fang Boar emerged from the bushes, its blood-red eyes locking onto him. It was ten feet tall, with sharp tusks that could crush boulders. Xypher gulped.

"Okay… No big deal. Just a giant, angry pig. I got this!"

The boar roared and charged.

"AAAAHHH!" Xypher screamed and ran for his life.

The First Step to Power

For the first few days, Xypher barely survived. He ran from monsters, ate whatever berries he could find, and hid in caves. But something inside him refused to give up.

"I can't stay weak forever," he muttered. "If I want to get stronger, I need to fight!"

He started training day and night. He punched trees until his fists bled, lifted boulders twice his size, and dodged wild beasts to improve his reflexes. Slowly, something changed. His body grew tougher, his senses sharper, and his energy—his Aura Force—started to awaken.

By the end of the month, Xypher faced the Steel Fang Boar again. But this time, he didn't run. He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him.

"Let's do this!"

The boar charged. Xypher dodged at the last second, jumped into the air, and slammed his fist into its skull with all his strength.

BOOM!

The ground cracked as the boar collapsed, unconscious. Xypher stood over it, panting. A small, blue light flickered around his body—his Aura Force had finally awakened.

A message appeared on his power level scanner: Power Level: 10 → 100

He grinned. "This is just the beginning."
