The corner gives the wooden martial arts master, whose martial arts are equivalent to a harem.

Hearing the back-and-forth between the two generations of leaders of the Human King Eight Extremes Sect, two rather random words popped into Liu Xuanhuang's mind at an inopportune moment.

【妇唱夫随】 and 【夫唱妇随】

These two words are fine on their own, but they don't seem right when placed in the context of the master and disciple's relationship.

But then again, they are only master and disciple, not related by blood, so how could that be considered indiscriminate violence?

After shaking out the inappropriate words from his mind, Liu Xuanhuang cupped his hands and smiled.

"In that case, Xuanhuang will not disturb you two any longer. Farewell."

As he said this, his two sworn brothers behind him also politely bowed and took their leave.

Fengxian and Gu Chuanhen also cupped their hands and said in unison, "Farewell."

After nodding slightly, the three high-ranking members from the Xuanhuang De Alliance went down the mountain together.

On the mountain road, Zhang Yitu felt resentful.

"Brother, do you think these two are behaving properly? We are on the right path, and these two must be able to see that. You treat them with courtesy, but they refuse to come down from the mountain to help you. Instead, they want to compete with you for the world. Is that right?" The handsome, dark-skinned man with a crescent moon on his forehead spoke in a deep voice, not caring whether the people on the mountain could hear him or not.

He was indeed on his older brother's side.

Guan Yunqing, sparing with words and composed in demeanor, said: "Third Brother Yitu, please do not be rude. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you cannot force them."

However, it seems that Guan Yunqing is also somewhat dissatisfied.

Listening to their words, Liu Xuanhuang could tell that they were speaking out for him.

But he didn't care at all that the two people on the mountain didn't offer any help; instead, he laughed heartily.

"Second and third brothers, why are you so gloomy? In my opinion, this is a wonderful thing!"

"Hmph! Good news? Good my ass! The sect leaders of the Human King Eight Extremes Sect can both unlock martial arts supernatural powers that ordinary martial artists cannot unlock. Those are two formidable rivals!" Zhang Yitu roared again.

Guan Yunqing advised, "Third Brother Yitu, please stop making a fuss."

Liu Xuanhuang waved his hand, signaling Zhang Yitu to listen quietly. Only then did Zhang Yitu calm down.

"Although those two did not explicitly say that they would come out of the mountains to help us, their coming out of the mountains is actually helping the people and the common people. We all heard the story of the first and second generation sect leaders when we were young, didn't we?"

You must know that the world has entered a period of chaos. Our Wu Kingdom is fighting against the Ba Kingdom from the outside, and is also being attacked from both sides by the Man Dynasty, which wants to pacify the inside. In this situation of being attacked from both sides, although we can protect the people of Wu Kingdom, who will protect the people outside Wu Kingdom?

The sooner those two men come out of seclusion, the sooner the people can escape their suffering.

Even if those two also take over our Wu Kingdom, so what?

Those two have no intention of becoming enlightened rulers, because they only want to rebuild the country with their fists. Who becomes the enlightened ruler is not important to them.

Not to mention, those two have already mastered great martial arts supernatural powers, and are already like immortals on land. With those two clearing the way, what does it matter if they don't help us?

Since it doesn't matter who the wise ruler is, in other words, we still have the opportunity to become a wise ruler and promote our ideals throughout the world.

Guan Yunqing nodded slightly and became a little more talkative.

"Everyone can eat their fill, dress warmly, be spiritually fulfilled, and be free from external and internal humiliation. Everyone is self-reliant, everyone can do what is right for them, and they can do what is right for everyone. All power is shared by all, and everyone is selfless in their public service. How wonderful such a harmonious society would be!"

His smile broadened.

"Hey! Isn't that right? The Hongwu Dynasty, founded by the second-generation sect leader Zhu Riyue, only lasted for nine hundred years before it became so corrupt and was usurped by the barbarian dynasty. In the past, even ordinary people could enjoy reading a vernacular novel in their spare time, but what about now?!"

Almost everyone I met was illiterate! This barbarian dynasty is strangling our future!

well!!!"

Zhang Yitu's words were like roars, yet also like words of weeping blood.

As the three talked, they gradually moved away from the mountain.

Then, in an open space, all three spoke up.

"Martial Arts Super Divine Machine: Weapon Growth".

Suddenly, an excessive amount of light and heat burst forth from the two of them. The rising heat and the mechanical structures that grew like trees filled the open space, and then, with a series of mechanical movements and meshing sounds, they were in action.

The three martial arts super-divine machines, each about 25 meters tall, had different appearances, but they all had in common that they combined cyberpunk style with traditional Chinese style. With a resonant roar, the flames from the six rocket boosters propelled the three super-divine machines into the sky.

Soaring through the sky, it then erased all the massive sound waves with the grace of a master of lightness skill, and then vanished from sight in flight.

And on the mountain.

Gu Chuanhen stared wide-eyed as the three super-machines departed.

"What the hell? What's this 'Dynasty Warriors'? If you're so capable, why don't you just conquer the barbarian dynasties?" He stared in disbelief.

"That's because the Xuanhuang Demeng's super divine martial arts rely on the characteristic of 'weapon growth' and what they have researched is the secret manual for constructing super divine martial arts."

Only those with profound skill can drive the growth of weapons into complete humanoid super machines. Only those with even higher skill can make the humanoid super machines larger. And only such super machines can fight their way in and out of the overwhelming technological monsters on the battlefield of Ba Kingdom without any worries.

Therefore, the Xuanhuang De Alliance was the main fighting force against the Ba Kingdom. Precisely because they were the main fighting force, stabilizing the internal situation and annexing the barbarian dynasty became the responsibility of the Bofu Bird Alliance and the Mendel Alliance.

Within the entire Xuanhuang De Alliance, there are only six super-machine warriors who possess such a large physique. The three you see are those three; the others are Changshan Zhao Ziyun, veteran Huang Hanzhong, and Shanggui Jiang Bailin.

Fengxian answers the questions of the ancient legend, which can also be considered as explaining the background.

However, what Gu Chuanhen cared about even more was the so-called "technological demons." He needed these super-mechanical warriors to be the main force, which meant that those demons were not easy to deal with.

Immediately, Fengxian looked at Gu Chuanhen and spoke in the tone of a strongman.

"Heh, you little devil, I really didn't expect you to be on my side like this. You're about to have some private words with me? Do you want to ride roughshod over your master's wife?"

"What the hell are you riding on? Do you think I'm a pony? What kind of nonsense are you spouting, you muscle-bound brat?" Gu Chuanhen was so angry that he laughed. After calming down, he looked in the direction where his three sworn brothers had left and spoke his true feelings.

"In reality, all I can do is pave the way."

He knew his own limitations, and then added.

"As for ruling a country? It would be easy for a tyrannical and incompetent person, but I don't want that kind of person in that position."

But to be a wise and powerful ruler who brings peace and prosperity to all the people? That would be too exhausting and physically demanding. I honestly admit that I can't achieve that level of a great and powerful ruler. I'd be more like a ruler who maintains the status quo, but then again, even maintaining the status quo is tiring, let alone restoring a dynasty. A ruler who brings about the downfall of his country would have an even more tragic fate. After thinking it over, being an emperor? Forget about it. I'd rather be an ordinary person in a peaceful and prosperous era.

But I am destined to be extraordinary. Since I am destined to be extraordinary, I should do something beneficial.

For example, in this world, it is something we can do to let a truly great ruler sit on that throne.

At this point, he smiled. He used the wisdom gained from the ultimate experience card to express his understanding of the "Eight Extremes of the Human King".

"The goal of the Eight Extremes of Human Kingship is to become the Human King, but the Human King does not need to sit in that position, because the most important and basic achievement of the Human King will only be to end the chaos."

Let the king conquer the entire land, and then let a capable and virtuous person take the throne to develop it.

Let professionals do what they're good at; laymen shouldn't interfere or offer unsolicited advice.

However, if as times change and the powerful ruler grows old and senile, the human king will naturally seek out another capable and virtuous person to continue the peace.

If any old, stubborn forces obstruct the king, he will surely destroy them. Even if the king dies of old age, he will surely cultivate the next king before his death, and someone will surely succeed him.

This is the king of men, who allows people to live the life of ordinary men; this is the true king of men.

Success doesn't necessarily require my participation, but success will definitely include me.

Gu Chuanhen tested Fengxian with his true feelings, and then he stopped pretending.

"You agree, right, Bajiquan?" He stared intently at Fengxian, as if trying to find a different kind of spirit in her eyes.

Feng Xian looked at Gu Chuanhen's head with concern: "Chuanhen, you brat, I am Wu Feng Xian, not the Bajiquan you're talking about. What kind of hysteria have you developed now?"

"Darling babe~ What are you saying? Why are you saying my name to Fengxian? You're such a weirdo—hehe, but you're kind of cute when you're being silly, I don't hate you."

Bajiquan looked puzzled, then became incredibly affectionate. She didn't press for details about the reason for your probing.

"Tsk?" Gu Chuanhen clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Did I guess wrong? That doesn't make sense. These two lunatics are so synchronized they could pilot an EVA to fight the Seventh Angel. That doesn't make sense!"

Seeing Gu Chuanhen's puzzled expression, Fengxian didn't tease him further, but instead offered some pointers based on Gu Chuanhen's understanding.

"Let's put aside your hysteria for now, and talk about your understanding of the 'King of Men' just now. You said it's the 'King of Men' in the external sense."

In reality, the concept of "King of Man" in "Eight Extremes of Kingship" is internal and self-centered; one must be one's own king to be considered a "King of Man."

However, it is interesting that you did not develop the great martial arts technique based on the concept of "Eight Extremes of Human King", right?

Hehe, although it wasn't based on the idea of ​​"Eight Extremes of Human King", it does subtly align with the meaning of "Eight Extremes of Human King".

The so-called "Eight Extremes of Human Kingship" means to reach a certain "extreme state," break through the limit after reaching it, and then go to another extreme.

All four generations of our martial arts masters possessed such extraordinary abilities.

Your martial arts skills are quite impressive.

What's its name?

"Both life and health are preserved." Gu Chuanhen replied to Fengxian with pride, "Both life and health—this will surely be the 'path' that paves the way for martial arts."

Fengxian gazed at the ancient legend with resentment, then smiled after a moment.

This is a normal and psychologically healthy smile.

After a bright and radiant smile, Fengxian spoke.

"Since we are both going to conquer the world, then I will start my counterattack from the territory that the Ba Kingdom has seized and advance to the Ba Kingdom's homeland."

You must know that the world of the Nine Provinces is too limited. The world was once a single tectonic plate, but it drifted away due to geological movements.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Ba, and the territories beyond it, also need to be conquered. The first and second generations did not consider this, which has conveniently allowed me to create an unprecedented and unparalleled achievement.

She spoke with boundless enthusiasm.

"Then I'll start by overthrowing the barbarian dynasty. Once I've overthrown the barbarian dynasty, I'll conquer the Wu Kingdom. Then we can work together from within and without."

"Alright," Fengxian said, taking one step forward. "Then I'll take my leave. Fourth-generation disciple, don't keep your master waiting."

Before she finished speaking, the muscular woman had already left the mountain gate.

"I really envy her for being able to stand on the ground with her own body. When will I be able to do the same, to stand on the soil of my homeland with my own body?"

Rarely, Bajiquan practitioners do not speak the words of a strong person while appearing eccentric.

She was just inexplicably homesick.

"If I had a real body, I could probably teach you Bajiquan like Ling Feixing did."

She envied Ling Feixing.

"If we could have a real body, we could go see the prosperous and peaceful times together. You know what? The donkey meat rolls in Cangzhou are delicious, and the stewed lamb bones are also fresh and warming. Although I can't eat them, I can tell from watching those who have learned from me eat them that they are very delicious."

It's strange, I didn't feel anything while I was there, but after I left, I missed it more and more.

···

Did you know that General Qi originally named me "Baziquan" (巴子拳), and Abbot Chongcang named me "Yueshan" (月山)? The moon rising above the mountain peak—isn't that a beautiful image?

The leper traveled far and wide, and then taught me to Wu Zhong. Wu Zhong taught me to "open the gate" of Bajiquan, which has continued to this day. Later, Fei Xing integrated all the existing Bajiquan schools.

But she didn't give me a name. Now, having lost my name, I have long forgotten what I originally looked like, but what I can't forget is every scene from the past.

My life has truly been one of constant upheaval and displacement.

However, I don't dislike this kind of life, because I have used my fists to protect those who deserve protection.

General Qi used my fists to train his soldiers and kill Japanese pirates along the coast; Li Shuwen used my fists to uphold justice and chivalry...

It's a pity about Huo Diange; he followed the wrong person. However—he didn't embarrass us.

Louis Koo, do you think that if we had real bodies back then, we could have created a peaceful and prosperous world much sooner?

In this way, everyone can enjoy everything you enjoy much sooner.

The subject of her words is "a prosperous and peaceful era," "us," and "the real body."

Bajiquan only wants so much. But the two most important elements are out of reach for her.

Even in a time of peace and prosperity, she wouldn't find such a place here.

Looking at the text being broadcast from a corner.

Gu Chuanhen no longer regarded Bajiquan as a madwoman.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Bajiquan." ["Louis Koo, what are you calling me then?"]

Gu Chuanhen extended his hand, as if to take hers. He was waiting.

"Come on, take my hand." ["What are you laughing at? Do you see me with hands? Don't you know that, like that blue headphoneless cat living in the two-dimensional world, I'm handless to you?"]

But Gu Chuan remained unmoved. He only spoke softly and gently.

"Bajiquan, have you forgotten? You are right here in my body, you are in my very bones."

【"..."

Even if you don't have a body, you can still hold my hand. We will never be apart, and you will go with me wherever I go.

Whether it's snow-capped mountains and vast deserts, or lush green hills and clear waters, you can see them with me. We are of one mind and one body.

Because you are inside my body, you are in my bones.

"Okay, I understand." "I'll hold your hand."

The Bajiquan practitioner smiled and extended his hand, grasping the hand he couldn't hold for the moment.

Gu Chuanhen grasped the only hand that remained in his body.

"Now, it's time for us to conquer the world. This is—our one-of-a-kind super date."

He held the illusory hand, yet sensed a strange change.

That was the spontaneous gathering of internal energy, which traced the shape of slender, not-too-big, not-too-small fingers in my hand. That was the tactile sensation created by internal energy.

The touch was soft and boneless, like the hand of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Soft and gentle.

His awkward hand-holding gesture became more rounded, and his body seemed to be truly leaning on the person beside him.

【"laugh!"

Bajiquan has reverted to its madwoman-like state, revealing a supremely wise and extraordinary smile!

Gu Chuanhen chuckled softly, took Bajiquan's hand, and walked out of the mountain gate with her, leaning against her.

He emerged from seclusion to conquer the world, but this was also a romantic rendezvous with enemies from all corners of the land.
