My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 469 Breakthrough to First Rank, Tribulation Arrives!
Thunder roared, and dark clouds gathered.

The entire continent of Kyushu was gripped by a nameless panic.

It's raining.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it was continuous and never stopped.

Zeng Anmin stared at the west.

His eyes gleamed, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Shh."

A familiar figure appeared beside him, standing in the air alongside him.

"Are you out of seclusion?"

Zeng Shilin's gaze lingered on his eldest son in front of him.

"Hmm." Zeng Anmin nodded, looking at his father:
"I have lived up to your expectations; my martial arts have reached the second rank."

Zeng Shilin paused for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, and looked up towards the direction of the western wilderness:
"The Taotie has awakened."

"This rain has been falling for three months now."

Zeng Anmin looked up.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and not a ray of sunshine could be seen.

The light drizzle felt strangely biting on people.

"Your advisor didn't lie to us." Zeng Shilin's words were filled with sighs.
"He... risked his life to stop the Taotie."

"As your father, I can sense that although Taotie has revived, it is far from reaching its peak. Although its consciousness has awakened, it is still refining the Savage Mystic Realm."

"The Nine Provinces Continent still has a year to prepare."

Zeng Anmin nodded absentmindedly.

Although he is now a first-grade combatant.

But from a distance...

He felt that he was still far inferior to that figure from the far west.

"Ten months have passed since you went into seclusion."

"Over the past ten months, your father has finally prepared enough power of the seven emotions for you to break through to the first rank."

A smile played in Zeng Shilin's eyes as he slowly pulled a seal from his robes.

The moment the seal was revealed, it radiated an aura of majesty.

It was Xin Yuyin.

"father."

Zeng Anmin stared at Zeng Shilin for a while.

He felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't say exactly where it was.

I just felt that my father's eyes... seemed a little more cloudy than before.

"Father is getting old." Zeng Shilin smiled nonchalantly and slowly handed the seal to Zeng Anmin:
"Take this and aim for the top rank."

"The safety of the entire world rests on your shoulders."

"All I can do as your father is to do the work behind the scenes for you."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

He took the heavy seal and slowly placed it in his bosom.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But I don't know what to say.

"Go on, continue your seclusion." Zeng Shilin waved his hand with a smile, then, as if remembering something, he looked at Zeng Anmin and said:
"By the way, I've already come up with names for all four babies."

"Wanyue's child is named Zeng Zhili, and his nickname is Ya Ya, because all he can do now is babble."

When the younger generation was mentioned, Zeng Shilin's smile deepened, and he continued:

"The boy from Xiangnan is called Zeng Zhijie, and his nickname is Zhinu. That boy has big eyes that are always darting around; you can tell he's smart."

"As for Princess Wang Li'er's daughter, I named her Zeng Ayan."

"The girl who is the first to bloom is named Zeng Aying."

"So, are you satisfied with these names?"

Zeng Anmin listened, somewhat stunned, and he murmured slowly:

"Knowing etiquette, knowing propriety, Ayan, Aying..."

"Good name."

Zeng Anmin grinned and looked at his father: "You're so cultured, Dad. If it were me, I would definitely name him something like Zeng Aniu."

"Haha!" Zeng Shilin laughed loudly, then jokingly cursed:

"Now that you've reached the highest level of Confucianism and Taoism, how come you still don't have a proper way of doing things?"

“In your presence, I will always be a child.” Zeng Anmin didn’t seem to care much about this.

He looked at his father, his expression slowly turning serious:
"Then I will continue my seclusion to try and break through to the first rank."

"Go ahead." Zeng Shilin waved his hand with a smile: "Go into seclusion directly below the Human Emperor Hall of the Hedao Palace."

“Okay.” Zeng Anmin nodded.

The original secluded cultivation room was shattered by the aura generated when he broke through to the second rank, and was obviously no longer usable.

Zeng Anmin transformed into a beam of white light and departed.

Zeng Shilin stood in the air for a long time.

Gradually, his body began to hunch over.

"Shh."

A flash of light, and he could no longer maintain his balance, staggering in mid-air.

Fortunately, another flash of light appeared, and Dongfang Cang appeared beside Zeng Shilin, helping him up.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Dongfang Cang's gaze toward Zeng Shilin was complex.

"It's alright." Zeng Shilin waved his hand with a smile.

His facial skin began to age slowly, and his hair gradually turned white and then yellow.

Before long, he was already showing signs of approaching death.

"Forcibly transforming the nation's destiny into the power of the seven emotions is a risky strategy, yet you still don't take care of your health."

Dongfang Cang sighed, offering a somewhat feeble piece of advice:
"Furthermore, you used all the remaining national fortune to help the Holy Son break through to the first rank... If the Holy Son fails to break through, I'm afraid..."

Zeng Shilin waved his hand with a smile, stopping Dongfang Cang from speaking.

He then looked down in the direction where Zeng Anmin had disappeared, staring at it for a long time.

He slowly raised his head and said with a smile:
"With a son like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Dongfang Cang opened his mouth, but only let out a soft sigh.

They helped Zeng Shilin descend slowly and entered the Emperor's Palace.

…………

"He's gone into seclusion again."

"I just came out of seclusion."

"Sitting still for so long, my bones have become rusty."

Zeng Anmin crossed his legs while cursing.

He swore to God that he was truly tired of this seclusion.

"Damn gluttonous beast."

"What are you doing out wandering around if you have nothing better to do?"

"The Heavenly Dao simply cannot tolerate you, yet you still insist on coming out."

"You wait until I get out of here."

"I'll tear you apart and feed you to the dogs... to the Kunpeng!"

Zeng Anmin felt somewhat agitated.

He has now reached the first-grade combat power level thanks to the effect of [High-end Martial Arts].

It can be said that he is currently the strongest human on Earth.

No one can fight him.

The problem is, just as he became the strongest, an even stronger one appeared.

And those who are much stronger than him are not just a little bit stronger.

"My advisor said that a first-rank martial artist can use spatial laws to exile Taotie."

"I am currently at the first-grade combat level. I just sensed it and it seems that it might not be enough to exile the Taotie into the spatial turbulence."

"We definitely need the power from the Dragon Balls."

Zeng Anmin sighed: "Fortunately, there's still a year left."

"If I can break through to the first rank and reach the level of a Martial God, then I should be absolutely safe."

"Luckily, I have a cheat code."

Zeng Anmin put aside his distracting thoughts.

Close your eyes slowly.

He took the Xinyu Seal out of his pocket.

"The power of the seven emotions is the key to breaking through from the second rank to the first rank."

"But breaking through to the first rank will bring a tribulation of lightning. Fortunately, I, Xin Yu, also have a dragon vein, which can be used to conceal my aura."

Zeng Anmin's eyes gleamed with a sharp light:

"let's start."

"I want to see if I can break through to the first rank."

Then he stared at the seal in his hand.

He could feel the intimacy conveyed to him by the seal.

Then he watched as a burst of golden light burst forth from Xin Yu Yin and shot directly into his body.

"This……"

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned extremely ugly.

How could he not know what that golden light was?
That's the fate of the nation!!
That is the fate of the nation, Xinyu!!

The fate of all nations!!

“Father…” Zeng An pursed his lips, his teeth clenched tightly.

He naturally knew what was going on.

Without my father's permission, how could the nation's destiny have entered my body?

He instantly felt immense pressure.

This means Dad has staked everything on himself!

If successful, Taotie will be exiled, and the world will be at peace.

If it fails... I'm afraid the entire Kyushu will vanish.

"Now, it has to work out, even if it doesn't work out..."

A bitter smile appeared on Zeng Anmin's lips.

He must break through to the first rank and reach the Martial God realm in terms of combat power!
"Whoo~"

He took a deep breath, and then his gaze became firm.

"Then... let's begin!!" "I can do it!"

As his words fell.

Seven-colored rays of light emanated from the Xinyu Seal, swirling around his body.

His aura was gradually increasing.

The path between the second rank and the first rank is being traversed little by little.

He is not slow.

Just three months.

The power of the seven emotions had already been completely absorbed by his body.

The next step is to transform it into your own martial arts aura.

Another three months passed.

There was no longer any power of the seven emotions within his body, only a martial aura that was more surging than heaven and earth.

"Shh!"

Zeng Anmin suddenly opened his eyes.

Shining with golden light!!
He... is still a second-rank official!
Peak of Rank Two!
He's just a hair's breadth away from reaching the first rank!

"The power of the seven emotions... is not enough."

Zeng Anmin's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "My foundation in martial arts is simply too solid."

"Moreover, there are as many as six kinds of laws!"

"How to do?"

At this point, half a year had passed since he went into seclusion!

Outside, the oppressive aura of the Taotie grew increasingly solid.

Even in the secluded training room, he could feel the oppressive aura that weighed on his mind.

"time does not wait!"

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes, a hardening thought forming in his heart!
The next moment, he began to mobilize the power of the nation's destiny within his body.

That's the combined power of the entire nation's destiny!

That was the combined national fortune of the two dynasties of Shengjiang, the demon race, and the Taoist sect!

"rush!!"

Regardless of anything else, Zeng Anmin's mind was filled with nothing but ruthlessness.

Who cares about the consequences!

"boom!!!"

He began to slowly absorb the power of the nation's destiny.

He closed his eyes again.

Feel the martial arts aura that is slowly growing stronger again.

it works! !
He was delighted.

"Break for me!!!"

When Zeng Anmin woke up again.

His eyes turned pure gold.

Xin Yu's national destiny power was also completely absorbed by him!
At this moment, his cultivation level was... peak of the second rank!
It's just a matter of a thought away from reaching the highest level!

"Transcending the Tribulation of Lightning!"

He knew what he had to do next.

"boom!!!"

It seemed to be responding to his voice.

A thunderous sound suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Zeng Anmin looked up at the sky.

Those eyes pierced through countless obstacles and saw the sky.

The sky darkened even further at this moment!

Countless purple lines densely gathered in the sky.

"Lightning tribulation".

Zeng Anmin stared intently at the sky.

That's right, it's the tribulation of lightning that you need to go through to break through from the second rank to the first rank!

"Whoo~"

"You finally came."

Zeng Anmin's mind stirred slightly.

It had already appeared in the sky.

The light, drizzling rain was still falling.

"This rain hasn't stopped at all?"

Zeng Anmin's expression was extremely solemn.

He looked up.

At this time, less than one-tenth of the human race in the world survived!

Because of this rain, the crops failed completely, and countless innocent people perished!
"Damn it."

Zeng Anmin suddenly looked up and headed west.

There, the figure of the Taotie had already materialized!

It could start devouring the entire continent of Kyushu at any moment!
"Master Confucian Scholar, please hang in there a little longer, I'll be done soon!"

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the sky.

Just as he was preparing to communicate with the Dragon Vein of the Universe to avoid the tribulation of lightning.

"boom!!!"

The first purple lightning bolt gave him no time to react and struck him directly!
"Snapped!!!"

Zeng Anmin felt like he was going to die.

Really.

I'm not kidding!!
"This is...!"

"Pfft!!" Zeng Anmin spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This is a lightning tribulation?? Isn't it aimed at killing me??"

Zeng Anmin was dumbfounded.

You should know that he is currently only at the peak of the second rank.

However, his combat strength is truly at the peak of the first rank!

Step over that and you'll become a Martial God!!

The tribulation lightning is merely a test for a second-rank martial artist to advance to the next rank.

How can it be so powerful?
No wonder I've never heard of anyone ever achieving the rank of a first-grade martial artist through sheer willpower!
This lightning tribulation is simply beyond human resistance!

but……

"Ok?"

"I'm okay??"

Zeng Anmin blinked.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body returned to normal in the next moment!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his own cheat code panel.

The term "[Undying]" is shining brightly!!

it is good!
My dear dad!

Zeng Anmin wished he could hug the Golden Finger panel and kiss it.

"boom!!!"

Another thunder tribulation.

Zeng Anmin coughed up another mouthful of blood.

This time he fared even worse than before; half of his body was struck by lightning.

Fortunately, his body recovered completely in the next moment!
"boom!!"

This time, he only had his head left.

After the recovery, "Boom!!" Another bolt of lightning struck.

This time, he simply disappeared.

Only a single drop of blood remained in the air.

"Shh!"

It was restored directly again.

His recovery speed is simply unbeatable.

"Damn it!!"

Zeng Anmin stared intently at the lightning tribulation in the sky.

"boom!!!"

The dark clouds were slowly dissipating, for all their power had coalesced into a final bolt of lightning!
This thunderclap sent alarm bells ringing in Zeng Anmin's mind!
"I really might die!!!"

"Transform into a dragon!!!"

Without any hesitation, Zeng Anmin immediately mobilized his martial arts aura.

The next moment, a giant dragon, thousands of feet long, suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

at the same time.

The tribulation lightning has struck!
"boom!!"

The dragon disappeared again.

It appeared for less than a second before disappearing again.

The thunderclouds slowly dissipated.

On the ground, everyone watching all of this turned pale!
"Pap~"

The spear in Gu Xiangnan's hand fell to the ground.

Her face was pale, and she stared intently at the sky.

Behind her, Zeng Shilin, whose body was extremely old, also staggered a step.

"Power...assistant..."

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Wanyue bit her lip tightly, and blood oozed from it.

Sai Chuxue knelt helplessly on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

The princess was stiff all over, her fists clenched tightly under her sleeves.

All of them.

They all stared at the empty sky where no one was left.

like a statue.

silence.

The entire continent of Kyushu became eerily silent.
