High Martial Arts Start with Ant Talent Fusion

"Father, wasn't that a false rumor you deliberately spread?"

"You are now a Grandmaster-level expert; your lifespan cannot be coming to an end so soon."

Jing Mingde was shocked. The two brothers could not believe what their father had said. How could false news have become true? The only Grandmaster in Nirvana was now their father.

If Father were to fall, Nirvana would also face a great calamity.

"Is it possible that the information that gets leaked isn't true?"

The old man in black's question silenced the two brothers.

"Although I am a Grandmaster, I was seriously injured decades ago, leaving indelible scars. At first, I was able to suppress them, but as I get older and my cultivation level keeps declining, those scars are slowly recurring."

"I have a feeling that day is coming soon."

"Therefore, I want to use the remaining time to suppress the rebellion for Nirvana one last time, leaving you room to grow."

The black-haired old man spoke slowly, his voice seemingly tinged with sadness.

"Father..."

"You've worked hard..."

"It is my fault for being unfilial, causing you to continue to worry about us until your very end..."

Jing Mingde and Jing Mingzhi knelt before their father, tears streaming down their faces. Hearing their father's words, they felt a pang of pain in their hearts. Their father had risen from humble beginnings to dominate the world, working hard for most of his life to build the empire he had built.

Now, at the brink of his death, he must use himself as bait to clear away the calamities for Nirvana.

They knew that the day their father fought the final battle would be the day he met his end.

I only regret that I am not strong enough to share the burden with my father.

"Alright, stop crying. Your father isn't dead yet."

"What kind of talk will it make if word gets out that the second and third leaders of Nirvana are from a powerful organization!"

The old man in black feigned anger, but looking at his child, his heart softened, and he spoke slowly.

"This is the only option we have. Of the three major powers in Chaotic City, Nirvana is the weakest. As long as I am here, those below will not dare to move. If I die, they will swarm in."

"Only in this way can I lure out those who are restless and prevent future troubles."

"There's something I should tell you, or I'm afraid I might never have the chance again..."

"Father, what is it?"

The two brothers looked up.

"Do you remember the person with the surname Fang that I asked you to find?"

"Remember."

Do you know why?

"We don't know, we'll just do whatever our father says."

Upon hearing what his father said, Jing Mingde couldn't help but think of the person his father had been searching for decades ago.

My father suddenly returned from outside decades ago. Upon his return, he displayed immense power and established himself in the chaotic capital. By then, my brother and I had already come of age and possessed considerable strength.

The two were completely unfamiliar with their suddenly appearing father. Their mother was still alive at the time and personally admitted that this man was their father. They had also undergone medical examinations, which showed that they were indeed father and son.

Once their power had stabilized somewhat, their father personally told the two of them to find a child surnamed Fang in Jianghai City. There was no address, no target, nothing at all.

He wasn't even sure if the child was in Jianghai City.

The father said that this matter could only be handled by close relatives, but even so, the three of them searched for nearly forty years, from childhood to adulthood, but without any results.

The person my father mentioned has yet to be found.

They had complained to their father about why they were wasting their time looking for someone who was nowhere to be found, or even whose fate was unknown.

But what she received in return was fury and rebukes.

They asked why, but their father wouldn't say anything, to the point that they even thought the child was their father's illegitimate son.

"I know you have complained about me before, and I know it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it's something I have to do."

"Today, I will tell you about this."

"The person I'm looking for is none other than a descendant of my master."

"What?"

"Father, are you alright?"

The old man in black's words stunned the two of them once again. Neither of them knew anything about their father's past, and hearing such unfamiliar words from their father's mouth made them doubt their ears.

At the same time, the two were also deeply terrified. What level of strength did the adult their father had mentioned have?

"Yes, this story begins when I first met the adults."

"Back then, my strength was about the same as yours when you were young. I went to hunt monsters with high spirits, but I was seriously injured and met you, sir, when I was on the verge of death."

"He saved me. When I woke up, I realized that it was no longer Jianghai City. It was impossible for me to go back on my own, and I couldn't survive."

"He kindly took me in, and I followed him as a servant. It was then that I realized how terrifying he was."

"Having followed my master in battles for over a decade, my strength has begun to advance from Martial Master to Grandmaster and even Great Grandmaster."

"However, then something happened: the master died a horrible death, and some of his subordinates were even exterminated..."

"I was away on a mission at the time and managed to evade capture once, but I was seriously injured and escaped with my life during the subsequent pursuit. After that, I returned here under an assumed name."

"I have thought about revenge, but I am just a servant of the master, and my strength is not worth mentioning at all."

"It was then that I learned that the adults' children were not dead, and that not all of the adults' subordinates had died in battle; some had survived."

"After returning to Jianghai City, I will conquer this place. My life was given to me by the master. All I can do is find his child for him."

"But decades have passed, and it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. I hate it."

"I hate my own incompetence, and I also hate the surviving subordinates of the adults."

"If I, a mere servant, can achieve this level of skill, what about the others?"

"The lord has treated them very well, so why have those powerful subordinates remained silent for so many years? They have done nothing, they don't think about avenging the lord, and they just live on in this world."

The old man in black became more and more excited as he spoke, even forgetting that he was now a father and the head of a powerful family.

Right now, he's like someone who needs to confide in someone.

Emotions suppressed for decades began to erupt.

"Father..."

The two brothers had no idea that their father had such a past, and they didn't know what to say to comfort him, since decades had passed and many things had been forgotten in the long river of history.

"I've lived a whole life, and I've experienced everything I should have, big and small, and I've also encountered quite a few things I shouldn't have."

"My only wish as I lay dying was to find the adult's descendant and see him..."

"That way, I can face my parents with my own face after I go down."

"Say to him, 'Sir, I've found your child!'"

The old man in black was already in tears. Finding that child had become his obsession, but in reality, that child might already be gone.

"Alright, you can all leave now. Prepare for the upcoming battle."

"I originally just wanted to tell you the reason simply, but I didn't expect that I'd gotten so old and lost my ability to keep my mouth shut."

"Just keep this to yourself. The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. Just pretend it never happened."

"As for that child, forty years have passed, perhaps God never intended for anyone to find him."

After hearing the old man in black's words, the two brothers remained silent for a moment.

"Yes, Father."

They slowly rose, bowed respectfully, and then left the room.

The room fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, the old man in black, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly spoke.

"You've been listening for so long, it's time to come out."

"Otherwise, don't force me to do it myself!"
