My cells devour all worlds.

That was his only son, Shen Qingshu, who inherited his wife's looks and was quite handsome.

However, his martial arts talent was quite mediocre. Even at the age of twenty, he had only just entered the ranks of ordinary martial artists, not even as good as some of the young bodyguards in the escort agency.

The rumor that "a tiger father and a dog son" started circulating from somewhere.

Shen Qingshu was at an age where he was very competitive and felt ashamed of his father's name, so he often locked himself in his room to practice martial arts alone.

However, the effect was mediocre.

Over time, people become increasingly gloomy.

Later on, he stopped leaving the house altogether.

No matter how much the couple tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.

Fearing that Shen Qingshu might run into trouble, Madam Lu came up with an idea.

The letter arrived overnight from the Lu family, who summoned a companion of similar age to Shen Qingshu, namely Lu Sheng.

Moreover, neither of them had any talent for martial arts, and the two had a very good relationship when they were children.

This was intended to alleviate Shen Qingshu's situation.

There were other young people in the escort agency, but they couldn't play a significant role due to their status.

Otherwise, Madam Lu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find Lu Sheng from the Lu family.

Fortunately, the results were indeed quite good.

Lu Sheng had only been there a few days, and after talking to Shen Qingshu about something, the changes were immediately apparent.

Shen Qingshu was also willing to go out.

The smiles on his face became more frequent each day.

However, the situation developed in a way that was somewhat beyond Shen Tianxiong's expectations.

When Lu Shenggang first arrived, Shen Tianxiong was quite fond of his nephew.

She was just as beautiful as Qing'er, with bright eyes, a sweet tongue, and quite a bit of courage.

Knowing that he was the chief镖头 (chief镖师, head镖师, of the Changfeng镖局, a type of镖局, in Chinese) did not cause him the usual restraint and fear.

He is also very enthusiastic about practicing martial arts.

After Lu Sheng successfully persuaded Shen Qingshu to come out, he even specially invited Zhao, a skilled镖头 (bodyguard) from the镖局 (escort agency), to teach him.

As a result, after only one day, Lu Sheng became lazy and unwilling to practice martial arts.

Shen Tianxiong sent someone to ask, and was surprised to receive the reply, "Too easy, I learned it."

When this got out, it infuriated Zhao Ming, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), so much that he stormed off on the spot and even declared that he would no longer teach Lu Sheng.

Shen Tianxiong had to offer sincere apologies to persuade Zhao Biaotou to let the matter drop.

Only then did he realize that his nephew was extremely pampered and unwilling to endure the hardships of martial arts training.

If it weren't to relieve Shen Qingshu's boredom, he would have definitely sent it back to Lu Sheng.

That's really embarrassing for him.

That's not all; the two of them also frequently caused trouble outside.

Today they beat up the Li family's son, and in a couple of days they'll be at odds with the Wang family...

He has apologized countless times these days, but fortunately, Shen Tianxiong of Changfeng Escort Agency has enough influence to cover it up.

It's unclear whether Shen Qingshu's change is good or bad; the only option is to send someone to keep a close eye on him to prevent any mishaps.

Shen Tianxiong rubbed his temples and sighed softly. He had never had such a headache when he was young and adventuring in the martial arts world.

……

At this moment, Lu Sheng, who was giving Shen Tianxiong a headache, was having tea with Shen Qingshu in a teahouse.

Dressed in a blue robe, resembling the attire of a scholar, Lu Sheng leaned against the armchair that had been specially arranged for him, his eyes half-closed as if he were dozing.

But his hands never stopped moving; he picked up the broad beans and peanuts from the plate on the table and put them into his mouth.

The old storyteller's voice, with its intonation and rhythm, filled my ears.

"In his fury, Lin Pingzhi unleashed a flurry of palms, his entire body surging with power, producing a roar like a dragon and a tiger, unleashing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms..."

Shen Qingshu listened with great interest right across from Lu Sheng, forgetting even to drink the tea in his hand.

After a long while, today's storytelling session comes to an end.

He slowly came to his senses and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This Lin Pingzhi does resemble me somewhat. Could it be that my family's swordsmanship has some secret that my father didn't tell me?"

The Lin family once produced a figure as renowned as Lin Yuantu, whose martial arts skills were just as mediocre as his descendant, Lin Pingzhi.

Although their circumstances differed, they were largely similar.

This made Shen Qingshu wonder if his family was in the same situation.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu became even more distressed, "But I don't want to castrate myself..."

He thought about how his father and mother often argued, and he felt it was very likely, which made him shudder with fear.

His face was filled with conflicting emotions.

Lu Sheng's lips twitched as he listened from the side.

I really want to tell Shen Qingshu that you simply lack talent, and it has nothing to do with your family's martial arts.

As for the storyteller's script, it was something he casually tossed out to make money.

Although he had no shortage of food and drink at Changfeng Escort Agency, Madam Lu, as his aunt, also gave him a lot of money.

However, this was only a drop in the ocean compared to the medicinal materials he needed.

Practicing martial arts costs much more money than eating.

He couldn't possibly ask Shen Tianxiong and the other man for everything.

They had no choice but to rely on their own efforts.

Fortunately, some preparations were made, so making money was a minor issue.

Lu Sheng ultimately didn't say it.

It would be a waste not to see such great entertainment.

He also wanted to see what Shen Tianxiong's expression would be when he heard Shen Qingshu's remarks.

Lu Sheng never expected that his wish would come true this time, and he actually entered a martial arts world.

However, it had no resemblance to the works he had read.

I've never heard of the Da Yin Dynasty.

Even martial arts masters had no recollection of it.

This was clearly a world he had never heard of before.

Upon learning that martial arts existed in this world, Lu Sheng was excited for quite some time.

Before coming to Changfeng Escort Agency, he had inquired about a lot of information.

In this world, martial artists are divided into those who are not considered "classic," meaning men who only know basic martial arts, similar to porters in a security escort agency.

Then there are the third-rate martial artists who cultivate internal energy and open one to four meridians, comparable to ordinary bodyguards in escort agencies.

A second-rate martial artist with five to eight meridians is comparable to a senior bodyguard or a team leader.

Top-tier martial artists with nine to twelve meridians are all elders of major sects or powerful figures in their own right, and are always honored guests wherever they go.

And the innate master who has all twelve regular meridians and the Ren and Du meridians open, and whose breath is released outward.

Such figures are few and far between in the entire Great Yin Dynasty. It is said that the founders of sects and the legends of the martial arts world were at this level.

Based on the previous rating.

Lu Sheng adjusted his plan this time, deciding not to reveal his talent at the outset.

He decided to try a different approach.

You need a B grade to get something.

So what about A? Is it diverse or all-encompassing?

Or perhaps it's possible to acquire items from this world?

Lu Sheng decided to give it a try.

Therefore, Lu Sheng did not expose himself, but instead observed the life trajectory of Shen Qingshu, his target, as an ordinary person.

Be prepared to act depending on the situation.

Perhaps last time he only focused on himself and ignored the changes in the target, or perhaps something happened after he left that resulted in a rating of only B.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary world, and with his brute force, he probably won't be able to sweep through like before.

Let's develop it first.

Lu Sheng usually spent his days idly with Shen Qingshu, indulging in hunting, drinking, and merrymaking, drinking tea, listening to music, and boating...

It wasn't that he hadn't tried it before and wanted to have some fun; it was simply to change his cousin Shen Qingshu's dull personality.

He had secretly mastered the spear technique taught by Zhao Biaotou, and had also thoroughly mastered the Canglan sword technique he had learned from Shen Qingshu.

As expected of someone who has had their limiter removed, their body is getting stronger all the time.

Lu Sheng could sense that at the beginning his martial arts training was very slow, but with day after day of practice...

His body seemed to 'sense' Lu Sheng's thoughts and, as if evolving on its own, made his body more and more suited to martial arts.

With the energy provided by the powerful medicine, he progressed rapidly in a short period of time.

He has already opened up eight meridians and entered the ranks of second-rate martial artists, just like Zhao the镖头 (镖头 is a term used to describe someone who is a镖头 ... 镖头 is a
