In this chaotic world of martial arts, I'll become a god by adding skill points!

Following the main road, from the inner city to the outer city, Wang Anping entered the martial arts school.

With more people in the yard now, it's inconvenient for me to practice martial arts.

From now on, you can practice standing meditation in the morning, and spend the rest of the time at the martial arts school practicing boxing.

As I was pondering this, just as I stepped into the martial arts hall, a fist carrying a strong wind came hurtling towards me!

The punch was heavy and powerful, carrying a strong force. It was clearly not a malicious sneak attack, but rather a test between martial arts practitioners.

Wang Anping remained still, but with a slight flick of his wrist, he firmly gripped the opponent's fist.

The fingertips touched the rough calluses, marks left by years of boxing practice.

He subtly withdrew his finger force, intending to use the momentum to counterattack, but as he glanced at his opponent's figure and saw his face clearly, his strength suddenly loosened.

"Ninth Senior Brother, why are you back!" Wang Anping couldn't hide his surprise. He quickly let go of her hand and looked at the person in front of him.

Wang Hucheng was even more robust than when he left last year. His short-sleeved outfit was covered in dust, and beads of sweat clung to his forehead, clearly indicating that he had just finished practicing boxing. Yet, his aura was more composed and substantial than before.

Wang Hucheng withdrew his fist, laughed, and patted Wang Anping's shoulder with such force that Wang Anping swayed slightly.

"You brat, long time no see, you've actually broken through to the Inner Strength realm!"

His gaze swept over Wang Anping, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"When they told me this, I was a little incredulous. I never imagined you were so talented."

Looking at Wang Hucheng, Wang Anping was very happy. If he had to name his only friend in this world, it would clearly be the person standing before him.

The other person's help to him was entirely from the bottom of their heart.

"How was it in the prefectural city? Why did you suddenly come back this time?" Wang Anping asked.

Wang Hucheng laughed and said, "Have you forgotten where I'm from? You've been away from home for so long, you definitely have to come back and visit."

"Things are alright in the prefectural city; thanks to your ginseng, my foundation was preserved."

"That's good, that's good. I was just saying I'd come to the prefectural city to see you next spring." Wang Anping was very happy. He had originally planned to visit Wang Hucheng to catch up when he went to the prefectural city to participate in the martial arts examination, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually come back.

"Stop talking, let's go! You broke through to the Dark Force realm and got first place—that's a huge achievement, we have to celebrate!" Wang Hucheng patted his shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Wang Anping did not refuse. How could anyone else waste his time practicing martial arts? But who was Wang Hucheng?

Drink it!

"Alright! We'll eat the ferocious beast meat at Songhelou!" Wang Anping waved his hand, not forgetting their original agreement.

Wang Hucheng laughed and shook his head: "Hahaha, you probably don't know, Songhelou has long since stopped selling ferocious beast meat. The world is not peaceful these days, war is raging everywhere, and bandits roam the official roads in various places, so ferocious beast meat simply cannot be transported in."

He paused, his tone still magnanimous: "Just the two of us brothers, a couple of drinks are enough. Whether or not there's any beast meat is irrelevant. Come on, it's on me!"

As he spoke, he pulled Wang Anping outside, and soon they arrived at Songhelou on the street corner.

I found a private seat by the window and called over the waiter to bring me two jugs of strong liquor and a few side dishes.

After several rounds of drinks, as glasses clinked together, the smile on Wang Hucheng's face gradually faded.

Holding his wine glass, he gazed out the window at the bustling yet chaotic streets, his tone growing heavier: "Junior brother, the world today is somewhat like the scene before the fall of the previous dynasty."

Wang Anping paused in his grip on the wine glass, his brow furrowing slightly: "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother? I've only heard of bandits in the outer city, but I had no idea the world was already this dangerous."

Although he could tell from his past life experience that the country was on the verge of collapse, he was not clear about things further ahead.

"You're so focused on your boxing skills, you naturally wouldn't know."

Wang Hucheng downed a mouthful of strong liquor, his Adam's apple bobbing, his eyes filled with solemnity: "During this time in the prefectural city, I have learned quite a bit. The emperor in the capital is indulging in pleasure, the court is controlled by a few powerful ministers, and the corruption of the bureaucracy has reached its root."

Just like the Heavenly Kingdom I told you about last time, do you know how it is now? They're almost taking over the entire Jiangnan region! And the northern tribes have also raised their own banners.

Right now, it's fair to say that war is raging across the land. I feel that our southwestern border region will soon be next. Now that you've secured a spot, Junior Brother, you should quickly find a sect to take refuge in and escape the disaster.

Wang Anping was startled. Could it be that Wang Hucheng came to see him specifically to talk about this?

"Senior brother, do you... know something?"

"Sigh, let me be frank. I work for the Fei family in the prefectural city, specifically Fei Tianyang's Fei family."

"It's because my junior sister went with me that I heard them say you broke through to the Dark Force realm and got first place, so I thought I'd go home and come tell you."

Wang Hucheng was deep in thought, tapping his fingertips on the table: "Didn't I say last time that Master and the others might be plotting something? I've figured it out now, and I'm pretty sure they're preparing to rebel."

If you, junior brother, are not interested, you should take this document and see if you can find a sect to hide in to avoid the disaster.

These words struck Wang Anping like a boulder. He clenched his fists. Although he had suspected something, knowing the truth was still quite impactful. Rebellion? He never expected his master to have such thoughts. He didn't oppose such a thing happening, and he wasn't particularly loyal to this so-called Da Shun.

Whether his master rebelled or not was not of much concern to him. He didn't care if things really got chaotic, but his family was a different story.

"Given the current situation, I can understand if Master wants to rebel; that's not a big deal. In this world, the capable should rule. It's just that I'm worried about my family when things get chaotic."

Hearing him say this, Wang Hucheng looked at him incredulously. Rebellion? In the eyes of these native people, it was utterly treasonous!

He tilted his head and looked at Wang Anping: "Junior brother, are you serious? Rebellion is a capital offense, and you actually think it's nothing?"

Wang Anping smiled and said, "You said it yourself: war is raging all over the land. Even if Master doesn't rebel, someone else will. The court is corrupt now, so it's normal to overthrow him. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

He picked up his glass, took a sip, and a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for concerns about his family's safety, and if he didn't possess a martial arts cheat code that allowed him to forge a different path, he might have already taken matters into his own hands.

Wang Hucheng was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "Never mind, you little rascal, I never expected you to be so insightful."

But you must think carefully: once you get caught up in the vortex of rebellion, you will have no choice in the matter.

"Either follow your master down this path to the bitter end, or take your family and leave as soon as possible to find a secluded sect to live in seclusion."

Wang Anping nodded silently. He knew Wang Hucheng genuinely cared for him, so if he was only at the Inner Strength level, he would definitely be dragged into it. But if he were to break through to the Transformation Strength level, he believed everyone would have to think twice before offending him!

"Do you know roughly when the rebellion will take place?" he pressed, wanting to know if there was enough time, and if time was of the essence...

Wang Hucheng traced the rim of the cup with his fingertips and answered solemnly:

"It should be on the day of Junior Brother Fei's wedding. I've been following Master for many years, so that's how I learned about these things."

"Alright, thanks for letting me know, senior brother. Let's have a drink!" There's still more than a month until the wedding, enough time for him to break through to the Transformation Realm!

Wang Anping's worries lessened considerably, and the two began drinking.

In the afternoon, Wang Hucheng was busy going home to see his parents. He also needed to bring his family to the prefectural city to avoid them being affected. So after lunch, he didn't linger.
