The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ye Xiao was shaken by Wu Canglan's words.

It took him a while to come to his senses.

Then he nodded: "Martial arts school, I will try my best to do it."

Wu Canglan seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted.

Then he nodded.

The oppressive aura emanating from him dissipated like a receding tide.

Ye Xiao immediately felt the pressure on him dissipate.

He felt much more relaxed.

This was also Ye Xiao's first close encounter with an extraordinary person.

After this conversation...

Ye Xiao suddenly realized.

His 100,000-level cultivation realm, which he was so proud of, was utterly insignificant in front of Wu Canglan.

At this moment, he...

It's just a frog that has just jumped out of the well.

And in front of him stood Wu Canglan.

Yet it is as vast as the boundless blue sky.

"Mu Yun, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to him alone."

After Wu Canglan spoke.

Su Muyun obediently left the room.

Inside the room.

Only Ye Xiao and Wu Canglan remained.

At this moment, Ye Xiao struggled to sit up.

A hand pressed down on his shoulder, not with much force, but he couldn't move.

"You don't need to get up, just lie down."

Wu Canglan sat down on the chair next to the bed.

He took something out of his pocket and handed it to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took it and found it was an old iron plaque with the inscription: "Ye Zhenghe, Martial Artist. As long as the fist is there, the man is there."

He paused slightly after reading it, his fingers gently tracing the words as if caressing a person's face.

"This is...my father's keepsake?"

"Thirty years ago, on the day he enrolled, I interviewed him personally." Wu Canglan's voice was soft. "Back then, he was young and as stubborn as you. I asked him what he wanted to learn. He said he wanted to learn boxing. I said, 'Boxing doesn't need to be learned; what you learn by yourself is yours.' He listened and practiced boxing on the dormitory rooftop for three years."

Ye Xiao's throat tightened, his eyes fixed on Wu Canglan.

"You... are his master?"

Wu Canglan turned his head, his weathered eyes looking out the window, as if he were recalling something.

The night was as dark as ink, with only the moonlight hanging in the sky.

"He wouldn't call me master; he said he wasn't qualified." He paused, "But before he died, he called me that once."

The room remained quiet for a long time.

The moonlight shone in through the window, falling on the floor between the two of them like a silver river.

Ye Xiao felt a lump in his throat.

"Were you there the day he died...?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Canglan took a deep breath, and then nodded as if he had aged considerably.

"I am here."

At this moment, Ye Xiao's emotions suddenly surged.

"Martial arts school, you are so powerful, why couldn't you save him that day when you were there?"

Wu Canglan was at a loss for words when Ye Xiao questioned him.

It took him quite a while.

I only gave one answer.

"I can only save one person."

Upon hearing this...

Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly became extremely desolate.

His voice trembled slightly.

"The person you saved... wasn't me...?"

Wu Canglan gave a reassuring smile.

He said, "Ye Xiao, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I think your father wouldn't want you to regret what happened because of him."

Wu Canglan did not give a direct answer.

But Ye Xiao had already discerned the answer behind those words.

That lost fragment of his memory.

Finally, Wu Canglan's words filled in the gaps.

-------------------------------------

"Xiao'er, live on! No matter what others say, live on, live a life worthy of being called a human being!"

"Don't even think about avenging me! You just need to be okay! Live well!!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Ye Zhenghe was besieged by countless demons!

These monsters tore out of the rift at the end of the abyss; they are not monsters born from the Crimson Abyss world!

Instead, it comes from a more mysterious and terrifying location!

They are higher-level monster enemies!

"You demons, if you want to harm my son, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Beyond the Crimson Abyss.

A terrifying sword light of the thirteenth realm, carrying an endless sword domain, flew over!

Above the sky, ten thousand sword lights cleared the way!

After the Sword Path.

An old man's figure flew through the air and directly suppressed the entire Crimson Abyss World.

Even the King of Flames was so frightened that he buried his head deep under the crater, not daring to peek out for even a second.

They were terrified of becoming the next target to be eliminated.

"Jeongha! Your master has come to save you!"

Ye Zhenghe looked up, and the man who had never shed a tear before shed his last tear at this moment.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old man who was rapidly approaching from the horizon.

Then she said in a voice trembling with tears.

"Master! Master! Your unfilial disciple! I intended to take care of you in your old age, but I never imagined that I would leave you first!"

A deep, majestic voice descended from the sky.

"Jeongha! Hang in there a little longer! Your master will be there soon!"

Ye Zhenghe wiped away the tears from his eyes.

At that moment, his heart suddenly became more resolute than ever before.

"Master! I'm not going back!"

"After we go back, only one of us will survive, him or me."

"Therefore, only if I die can he live!"

"I only beg you to take Xiao'er back!"

"..."

-------------------------------------

Ye Xiao watched Wu Canglan's silent back.

He stood by the window, the soft moonlight bathing him.

Ye Xiao had no idea what he was thinking.

I stood by the window, gazing at the endless night outside.

Wu Canglan believed that he had lived a whole life.

He should have long ago cultivated himself into a heartless and ruthless old demon.

But in this world...

There are so many things, so many feelings, so many responsibilities that he can't let go of.

Wu Canglan smiled bitterly to himself.

"I've spent my whole life cultivating my heart, but in the end, I still can't overcome the heart of an ordinary mortal."

He concealed all his emotions, adopted the principal's authority, exuded the aura of a superhuman, and donned the mask of a thirteenth-realm being.

Then he sat down again by Ye Xiao's bedside.

"Do you know what's on the other side of the crack?" Wu Canglan suddenly asked.

Ye Xiao pondered for a while, recalling what he had seen and heard in the Crimson Abyss World.

So I gave a concise answer using a few words.

"Fire Demon. Magma. Fire."

"That's just the surface." Wu Canglan stood up, walked to the window, and pointed to the dark red scar in the distant sky.

"Normally, people can't see that red line."

When Wu Canglan finished speaking.

Ye Xiao was shocked to discover that he could now clearly see the dark red "line" in the sky with the naked eye!

Wu Canglan spoke calmly.

"The world beyond the rift is called the Abyss."

"It's not one world, but a collection of fragments from countless worlds pieced together."

"Fragments of countless worlds?" Ye Xiao's face showed a hint of surprise.

Wu Canglan nodded: "To be precise, it was pieced together from the corpses of countless worlds."

"Many years ago, a great war tore through space and time, shattering countless worlds. The debris floated in the void and, under the influence of an unknown force, eventually formed the abyss."
