Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Useless, all of you are useless!"

Crown Prince Li Yuanqian was not unaware that his words at this time were born of embarrassment and anger.

For someone of his status, this was extremely undignified.

Facing Li Changsheng, a strange guy who has already comprehended the essence of swordsmanship.

Even if he brought together the top grandmasters in the world, they would still be no match for Li Changsheng.

This person is only at the Grandmaster level, not at the Grandmaster level in terms of combat strength.

Comprehending the essence of swordsmanship is something that even many powerful beings in the Free and Unfettered Realm cannot achieve.

That was the trump card of a powerful being in the Great Freedom Realm.

The fourth Grandmaster sent out was not even one originally selected by the Crown Prince's Palace.

He was just a master of light-footed skills, used specifically to stall for time.

Compared to the previous three, this person did a much better job.

Surrounded by eighteen throwing knives, he managed to hold out for more than twenty breaths before being completely surrounded.

If it weren't for the limitations of the space, with his lightness skill, he would have been the only one of the four who had a chance to escape from Li Changsheng.

"Four wins out of four!"

"Deadly Flying Knife, Li Changsheng!"

"Once he advances to the Great Freedom Realm, he will be the Deadly Blade Immortal!"

……

In just a short while, everyone had already come up with a nickname for Li Changsheng.

He will surely occupy a place in the martial arts world.

Li Changqing knew his elder brother best; he understood that his brother was a martial arts prodigy, one in a million.

The reason why Li Changsheng's advancement was slow at the beginning was due to many objective reasons.

On one hand, there's the issue of foundation and elixirs; on the other hand, it's because Li Changsheng is deliberately strengthening his foundation.

Accumulated knowledge and experience will eventually lead to a breakthrough...

All the supreme masters we know of have done this.

As it turned out, Li Changsheng successfully broke through the Innate Realm and entered the Profound Realm. It was as if he had been reborn, like emerging from a cocoon, and ushered in a new life.

In just one year, he successfully broke through to the Grandmaster level and comprehended his own sword intent.

It can take anywhere from two years to one year.

Li Changsheng was able to successfully break through to the Great Freedom Realm.

Having won four matches in a row, Li Changsheng's true energy could still last for thirty breaths.

"That's enough!"

From the moment Li Changsheng stepped onto the field, he never considered letting anyone else take his place.

He had absolute confidence in his flying knife formation.

The only thing that could limit him was his Grandmaster-level true energy, which couldn't compare to the Free and Unfettered Realm that connected heaven and earth.

In other words, he cannot fight a protracted war.

Now it seems he doesn't need to fight a protracted war anymore.

The Crown Prince's residence has probably already dispatched all the experts it can.

The strongest is Mad Dog Taoist, followed by Du Boren, and the remaining two are not worth mentioning.

By that logic, there shouldn't be many Grandmasters left in the Crown Prince's Palace.

Even if he did, his strength probably wouldn't surpass that of Mad Dog Taoist.

Just as Li Changsheng was thinking this, Li Changqing's gaze fell on the Crown Prince.

It was clear that his uncle was very angry, and even a little jealous.

Putting himself in his opponent's shoes, Li Changqing felt a sense of empathy. He wondered what it would be like if he saw his rival had such a promising sworn brother.

Li Changqing would probably be insanely jealous.

However, the crown prince showed no intention of leaving, nor did he seem to be about to lose.

"Do you have another trump card up your sleeve?"

Li Changsheng's true energy could last for about 30 breaths, and just trying to withstand those 30 breaths from him was no easy task.

Not to mention, they still have four Grandmasters who haven't even played yet.

Even if the Crown Prince's Palace sent a cultivator at the Free and Unfettered Realm, they probably wouldn't be entirely confident they could turn the tide.

But the crown prince still seemed confident.

Despite his anger and jealousy, he probably never imagined he would actually lose.

"Please welcome the last one."

Li Changqing narrowed his eyes and spoke to Crown Prince Li Yuanqian.

The morale of the Crown Prince's faction was clearly at its lowest point.

There's Mad Dog Taoist, there's Du Boren...

The Crown Prince's faction probably never imagined they would lose.

After all, if they weren't 80% or 90% sure, why would they propose such a duel?

Li Changqing agreed because he was aware of Li Changsheng's strength.

It's just that the Crown Prince's residence miscalculated; it was actually Li Changqing's side that made the mistake.

Li Changsheng's performance was much better than Li Changqing had expected.

He's almost done the feat of taking on five opponents at once.

This was of great benefit to Li Changsheng when he later took control of the Grand Canal Gang.

The Grand Canal Gang was not won by Li Changqing's subordinates, but preserved by Li Changsheng, the future leader of the gang.

"Nephew, don't be in a hurry. Come and meet your elder brother."

big brother?

His older brother is...

Just as Li Changqing was beginning to have a guess, a tall and upright figure walked out from the Crown Prince's procession.

"It's him?"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Longjing."

Although Li Changqing had never met the other person before, that did not prevent him from quickly identifying him.

The renowned eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Longjing, a legendary martial arts prodigy, is only 22 years old this year.

His strength has long since broken through to the Grandmaster level, and he could enter the Free and Unfettered realm at any time.

He was not satisfied with the existing path; he didn't even look at any of the three top-grade divine skills in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Arsenal.

It is said that he has been searching for a martial art that suits him...

This choice will directly affect his future achievements.

Not long after Li Changqing returned to the Qin Prince's mansion, he heard of his elder brother's reputation. He was known as the strongest martial arts genius of the royal family in this generation.

Even if he doesn't inherit the throne in the future, he will still enter the Royal Elders' Council.

To become an elder, or even a ranked elder.

Because of this, the elders of the royal family attached great importance to Li Longjing.

They even used resources from the Elders' Council to support him.

This is Li Yuanqian's trump card.

To maintain secrecy, he didn't even allow his eldest son to confront Li Changqing.

Instead, he personally took to the field.

This gave Li Changqing a preconceived notion.

The eldest grandson was not in the group.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Crown Prince to personally intervene.

It's somewhat dishonorable for an uncle to deal with his nephew, Li Changqing.

"My uncle is such a shrewd strategist!"

Although Li Changqing didn't like playing with these things, it didn't mean he didn't understand them.

He quickly figured out the cause and effect and couldn't help but give Li Yuanqian a thumbs up.

"But are you really that sure my cousin can beat my older brother?"

Li Changsheng comprehended the essence of swordsmanship.

No matter how strong Li Longjing is, he can't possibly be a match for Li Changsheng.

"If he were at his peak, I'd probably only have a 60% chance of winning. But now, I have a 100% chance."

Li Longjing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

His voice was hoarse, somewhat like the sound of heavy metal rubbing together, and sounded rather harsh.
