Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 139 Turbulent Times: My Dad is Li Gang
The news that the martial arts tournament was equivalent to the martial arts examination was like a pebble thrown into water, creating visible ripples throughout the entire land of Kyushu.

Under the vast sky, whether it was the Great Xia Dynasty located in the Central Plains, the Great Liao Empire occupying the misty clouds, or the Jin Dynasty that rose from Liaodong.

Everyone was swept up by this news.

After all... the official position of the Great Xia Dynasty might be useless to them, but that scroll of third-grade Qi cultivation method and the so-called Bitter Sea Secret Method attracted the attention of countless people!

Especially the Liao Empire, which occupied Yanyun and Mobei!

When the Great Xia Empire was newly established, they dispatched troops to defend their homeland in an attempt to take over the land that once bordered the Liao and Song dynasties at a faster pace!
Unfortunately... a group of elite knights clad in armor rolled in.

Before the Liao cavalry could charge in and engage them in close combat, a dazzling divine mark emerged from below their navels.

Like a sudden storm, it poured down in an instant.

In an instant, the Liao Kingdom's elite cavalry were broken and their bones snapped under the divine light and rain, their blood soaking the entire land!

It wasn't until later, when the Liao people used their methods, that they learned that this was a new secret technique passed down by the current Emperor of the Great Xia!
The sea of ​​suffering, the spring of life, the bridge of divinity to the other side!
The news quickly spread throughout the Liao Kingdom's high-ranking officials!

Especially when they learned that if they could dig out a life spring from the sea of ​​suffering, they could walk on air like a first-rank martial saint and gain a hundred years of lifespan, they became even more frenzied.

To mobilize a large army and conquer many cities of the Great Xia in one fell swoop, they needed to extract the method from the Great Xia garrison that possessed it.

Until... an old scholar in a tall hat and wide belt arrived on the battlefield.

With a single palm strike, a hundred-foot-long azure dragon was unleashed, directly collapsing the high walls of the important border town built by the Liao Kingdom, forcing them to give up!

From then on, the fame of the Great Xia Secret Realm Technique spread far and wide throughout the Three Kingdoms.

Not to mention, if one could rank among the top 100 on the martial arts list.

You can also obtain the First-Grade Martial Saint True Technique and the Divine Bridge Secret Technique!

It should be noted that even in the martial arts world today, there are sects with a long history and whose ancestors once produced martial saints.

After hundreds of thousands of years of displacement and turmoil, I dare not say that I can produce the complete Martial Saint True Method!

This method is so rare it's almost frightening!

And... there's also a secret method that leads directly to the Divine Bridge!

You must know that beyond the Divine Bridge lies the Other Shore Realm!
The other shore is equivalent to the realm of a martial saint!

However, as a new method passed down by the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, countless veterans of the martial arts world speculate that the Divine Bridge Method may only be slightly inferior to the True Method of the Martial Saint.

Countless martial artists from humble backgrounds eagerly awaited this martial arts tournament, seeing it as their chance to defy fate and transcend social class!

It is said that Wanyan Aguda, who was born in the land of Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang River, has already reached the realm of a first-grade martial saint.

After hearing about the series of events that had transpired in the Great Xia Dynasty, he couldn't help but lament deep within the palace:
Heaven is blind; I was born at the wrong time!

Subsequently, the Jin dynasty consolidated the power of the Jurchen tribes, and the Jin dynasty, which had been constantly plundering and expanding outwards and even annexing much of the essence of the Liao Empire, fell into silence.

Even the powerful figures within the Jin Kingdom rarely showed themselves in public anymore.

Even the Jin emperor, Wanyan Aguda, completely disappeared in the end!
……

A month later, the official road dozens of miles outside Bianjing was bustling with traffic and crowds.

They were all martial arts practitioners with strong bones and long muscles, carrying swords and riding horses, and possessing extraordinary demeanor.

On the main road, two young men dressed simply, holding round wooden sticks in their hands and carrying wood-splitting knives on their backs, seemed somewhat out of place.

However, the two of them didn't care at all, ignoring the occasional disdainful glances from those around them.

One of the thinner young men glared at the martial artist who had deliberately ridden his horse close to them before galloping away, and whispered,
“Pengju, your mother actually allowed you to participate in the martial arts examination? Doesn’t she… hate the Great Xia emperor who seized power through treason the most?”

"Last month, a storyteller came to the village. You must have heard of him, right?"

Yue Fei raised a slight brow. The young man frowned.

"They're said to have come from Bianjing, but I don't know why they'd stop in a small place like ours. What does it have to do with that?"

"Of course, it has a significant connection!"

Yue Fei shrugged his broad shoulders, his eyes lowered beneath his thick eyebrows.

"The storyteller said that the empire of the previous dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, was nothing more than something that was seized from an orphan and a widow."

"The previous Emperor Huizong was tyrannical and, for his own selfish desires, he created various pretexts to impose heavy taxes on the people of the Song Dynasty. The current emperor is acting on behalf of Heaven!"

“Oh…Auntie is a reasonable person, she naturally knows that the current emperor has greatly liberated the world and abolished a series of taxes and levies, no wonder…”

The young man nodded slowly and continued talking to himself.

"However, it's fortunate that your aunt is reasonable. The new dynasty has just been established and urgently needs a large number of talented people, which is why she promised such a great reward. If it were ten or twenty years later, when the world is stable, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such an opportunity!"

"You silly boy, you actually know all this?"

Yue Fei was somewhat surprised.

When he's reading, this kid is the one who sleeps the most soundly.

I never expected him to be able to utter such profound truths!

The young man chuckled and scratched his head involuntarily.

"This is what the storyteller told me. I happened to pass the prefectural examination by chance, so my parents didn't hesitate to pawn all the valuables in the house to send me to the capital!"

During their conversation, a somewhat arrogant and flippant voice rang out.
"Pshaw! Which beggar from some backwater village dares to think he can participate in the martial arts tournament!"

Rumble

Before the two could react, the ground began to tremble slightly.

However, the owner of the voice arrived on a large horse, intending to use the galloping steed to tease the two of them.

"Humph!"

Yue Fei snorted coldly, and the friction and collision of his muscles and bones produced a sound like a tiger's roar and thunder.

boom!
With each step, the ground trembled and a surging air current rose up instantly.

The next instant, the tall horse was already charging straight at him, its four hooves thundering.
"My dad is Li Gang! You got what you deserved for crashing into me!"

boom!
Before he could even gloat, the violent air currents rolled and scattered, and the young man hadn't even finished speaking his sentence.

Yue Fei had already pinned the head of his tall, magnificent horse.

Herod!
Amidst the mournful neighing of the horses, the ground suddenly collapsed an inch downwards.

The horse, which resembled a giant beast and possessed at least ten thousand jin of strength, along with the arrogant young man on its back, was thrown to the ground.

Amidst the howling of men and the neighing of horses, the surrounding area instantly descended into chaos. The crowd of pedestrians who had originally ridden over to watch the spectacle all rode away.

"Pengju! My goodness! Your innate strength must be over ten thousand jin!"

The young man, somewhat astonished, squeezed Yue Fei's muscular arm and couldn't help but marvel.

It should be known that if one's arms can weigh two thousand jin, one has already entered the ranks of martial artists.

Yue Fei's family was poor, and everyone ate the same rice and practiced the same boxing from childhood, but Yue Fei was born with an extraordinary physique.

It's unbelievable that someone who is only sixteen years old already has the strength of over 10,000 jin!
