A new work from the author of 'Astral Pet Store', welcome to enjoy it! ———— In chaotic times, one seeks survival; in prosperous times, one seeks fame. Despite being weathered by the vicissitudes of life, the Great Yu Dynasty still found itself in an era of prosperity. In the northwest, a youth trekked nine thousand miles on foot, slaying the Great Demon alone to compete for a lifetime of glory. In Long Lake, an unmatched Grandmaster hurried to the mortal realm to establish a sect, leaving his name to be revered for a hundred generations. In the imperial capital, a saintly figure spread his teachings far and wide, with followers throughout Qingzhou, his legacy lasting forever. Yet within Qingzhou City, in the compound of a family with a long military heritage, there was a child who never engaged in serious pursuits, instead spending his days playing chess, painting, fishing, and playing the zither. Years later— …… When the sword rose, dragon smoke stretched for three thousand miles, and a single strike wiped out the cities of nine provinces! Among all the laws of the world, only I, have entered the path. …… 【Light-Hearted Humor】【Martial Path Panel】【Art Master】【Scheming】

When he heard the sound of the carriage, Li Hao knew that the old senior had arrived.
As soon as Xu Zhouyuan entered the courtyard, Li Hao immediately stood up to welcome him, saying, "Senior, you must be tired."
"The young general mustn't overexert this old man," Xu Zhouyuan hurriedly replied. Although he was known as the Little Chess Sage and had some reputation, the Dayu Divine Dynasty's foundation was ultimately grounded in martial arts.
In this world, martial artists were still the most revered.
