The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye!

Jia Huan, along with the gang leader Xie Feng and several elders, finally concluded the nearly year-long "Fist Test Under Heaven" event and returned to the Beggars' Gang's stronghold, Junshan Island.

"It's really not easy!"

Jie Feng sat upright in the chair, exuding an air of languor.

There's no other reason, I just feel extremely tired.

It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.

Following Jia Huan across most of the Ming Dynasty's territory, and frequently exchanging sparring techniques with renowned righteous masters, took a heavy toll on his mental and physical well-being.

Even when I was young, I never worked this hard to accumulate merits.

Fortunately, this matter is finally over.

If there were a next time, he definitely wouldn't want to get involved again; he'd just give the opportunity to the vice-gang leader, Zhang Jinbie.

"Boss, take a good rest. You'll be fine once you recover!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I'll head back to the branch first. I've been away for so long, I wonder if anything's happened!"

He was in excellent spirits, his eyes shining brightly.

He gained a great deal from this "Fist Test," and needs to find a quiet place as soon as possible to digest and absorb it properly.

"Go on, go on, stay here in Yuezhou for now, and don't go out unless it's important!"

Jie Feng waved his hand and said, "You've been too high-profile lately, you need to lie low for a while!"

Jia Huan nodded to indicate that he understood, then cupped his hands in farewell and left.

The environment on Junshan Island is as unpleasant as ever; it's best to leave as soon as possible.

After he left, Xie Feng and several other elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, being with Jia Huan now is putting a lot of pressure on me.

It wasn't that Jia Huan was intentionally targeting them, but rather that it was their own inner turmoil.

There was no other way, so he followed Jia Huan for most of the Ming Dynasty, challenging well-known righteous masters along the way.

Jia Huan's strength grew stronger with each fight, and in the end, even masters at the level of the Five Mountains Sword Sect leaders had difficulty lasting more than fifty moves against him.

What is this concept?

He's definitely a top-tier martial arts master, and one who's practically at the very pinnacle.

To put it simply, if Jia Huan were to challenge Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, at this point, he would definitely not be defeated.

At worst, the game will end in a draw, with the team at a disadvantage.

As for the outcome of facing the mysterious master from the Huashan Sect, it's impossible to guess.

But presumably, it can last longer.

By this time, Jia Huan, the chivalrous beggar, was already considered a top-tier master in the martial arts world.

This wasn't something they promoted internally; rather, it was a reputation they built through Jia Huan's "Fist Test Under Heaven," earned through numerous martial arts exchanges, and was recognized by all in the martial arts world.

The most obvious change is that the Beggars' Sect has become increasingly powerful!

The Beggars' Sect's influence and strongholds also spread throughout much of the Ming Dynasty, accompanying Jia Huan's "test of the world with his fists".

Although some places may only have a few outposts, having an outpost and not having an outpost are two completely different things.

To put it simply, at this point, the Beggars' Sect had become the largest sect in the entire country!

According to Jia Huan's private account, it already resembled some of the most prosperous period in its history.

The next step is to solidify the foundation and ensure that the newly established strongholds and branches are firmly established.

This will take time, and quite a while!

Fortunately, Jia Huan has a good reputation, so there's no need to worry too much about any unexpected changes.

This is the advantage of having top experts overseeing things; it gives you a lot of confidence!

At the same time, as the Beggars' Sect strongholds in various places have established relationships with local martial arts forces, anyone who wants to target the Beggars' Sect in the future will face extraordinary pressure and difficulties.

The reason why Shaolin and Wudang are so powerful is because of their huge influence and appeal, right?

If the Demonic Cult dares to invade, all the martial arts practitioners will send their main forces to support them without hesitation.

The story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer perfectly illustrates this point!

They encountered several large-scale attacks from the demonic cult, and each time a large number of fellow martial artists came to their aid.

Even the usually low-profile Emei Sect sent its leader and elders to provide support.

It would have been virtually impossible for the Beggars' Sect to have developed to this point without decades of sound management.

But as long as the Beggars' Sect encounters trouble, it's enough if fellow martial artists are willing to speak up for them.

It can be said that the Beggars' Sect at this time already had some of the grandeur of its peak!

Not only did Jia Huan's reputation soar, but Xie Feng and several elders also benefited greatly.

In less than a year, he frequently sparred with renowned martial arts masters.

Such a high frequency of shots is extremely beneficial for their training.

Jie Feng was confident that after resting enough and training diligently for a while, his strength would definitely improve, and he estimated that he could reach the level of an ordinary sect leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Don't underestimate this level of strength!

In the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, among the so-called top ten masters of the righteous path, Xie Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan, could only rank ninth.

Above him was Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect!

Yu Canghai's strength was clearly a level below that of the Five Mountains Sect Leaders.

Not to mention comparing him to powerhouses like Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun, even the leaders of Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Heng, and Mount Heng, such as Tianmen, Mo Da, and Dingxian, are far stronger than him.

As I said before, the mainstream of the martial arts world for the past hundred years has been the great war between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect.

Although the Five Mountains Sword Sects suffered heavy losses, they were also blessed with good fortune, as each generation produced elite disciples with considerable strength.

Conversely, the influence of other established underworld forces is much weaker.

Even a powerful leader like the Beggars' Sect couldn't match the strength of Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect.

If word got out, it would be a laughing stock among the martial arts community!

It wasn't just the gang leader Jie Feng; several elders who had followed him to many places, all under fifty years old, had a great chance of reaching the top tier of the martial arts world.

As for those who are over fifty years old, unless they are exceptionally lucky, they can only reach the peak of the second-rate level in the martial arts world, and it is unlikely that they can become a first-rate master.

In this way, the Beggars' Sect will soon have two or three more top-notch masters!

Although the number of top-tier masters in the Beggars' Sect does not quite match the sect's reputation, it is still quite impressive.

Jie Feng and the elders didn't say much more and quickly dispersed to go home.

At the Beggars' Sect headquarters, nothing immediately changed after Jia Huan and his group returned.

Because of the Beggars' Sect's rapid expansion, everyone in the sect was extremely busy.

The leaders of the various branch headquarters were so busy they barely had time to breathe!

Deploying reliable brothers, allocating funds and supplies, training younger talents, and dealing with trivial matters within the branch—in short, I was practically working myself to the bone.

The return of these bigwigs might just mean a few more bosses over them, but it won't really have much impact on them.

As for the Yuezhou branch, which Jia Huan personally oversaw, it remained the most peaceful and tranquil branch within the entire Beggars' Sect system, and also the one that operated most smoothly.

Previously, Jia Huan had put in a lot of effort, and now it has finally borne fruit.

Everything has rules, and everything has regulations; just follow the rules.

This place remains one of the main sources of Beggars' Sect's outlying disciples.

Similarly, even with a constant stream of personnel being drawn from the Yuezhou branch, it still operated quite normally, with all tasks running smoothly.

After making his rounds, Jia Huan was satisfied and went into seclusion to improve himself.

The Beggars' Sect was peaceful inside, but the martial arts world outside was in turmoil.

There was no other reason than Jia Huan's incredible feat of "testing the world with his fists" was simply too astonishing.

They fought almost from south to north, and then from west to east.

They attacked all five of the most prestigious sword sects of the last century, and their record was quite astonishing, earning them the title of "sweeping across the Five Mountains".

It was only through the combined efforts of Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, and a mysterious senior master from the Huashan Sect that the arrogant and domineering Jia Huan was barely suppressed. The other leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and even the senior masters, were no match for him. Such a record is quite extraordinary.

Not only the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but also Shaolin and Wudang were not excluded.

Looking across the entire martial arts world, in the past century, apart from the Demonic Sect, the beggar Jia Huan is the first person to have the courage to go to the strongholds of Shaolin and Wudang to challenge them!

In addition, righteous forces in the martial arts world, such as the Luoyang Golden Saber Sect, the Zhengzhou Six Harmony Fist Sect, the Yandang Sword Sect, and the Southern Shaolin Temple, were all included.

Not only that, but also the long-established orthodox sects Kongtong, Emei, Diancang, and Qingcheng were not spared.

He has challenged dozens of righteous masters along the way and has almost never been defeated!

It's a pity that, for some reason, the beggar-knight didn't actively go to the Beizhili region, nor did he have any intention of causing trouble in the capital. Otherwise, it would probably have been even more lively.
