High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Just as Chen Shi was happily looking forward to the future on the lawn.

Upstairs, however, there was complete silence.

Chen Wan'er sat in the main seat with her legs crossed, holding a teacup and twirling a spoon in the boiling, dark tea. She was completely at ease. Di Yun sat to her left, and Zhang Xuexin stood behind her.

Across from her, Li Qianzhi clenched her fingers tightly, while Di Feng sat beside her with his head down, his expression complex.

Suddenly, Li Qianzhi mustered her courage, stood up, and said, "Sister-in-law..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wan'er frowned, and a faint air of authority rose up.

Looking at her displeased face, Li Qianzhi panicked and asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"

Chen Wan'er said indifferently, "I can't hear you when you're standing."

Li Qianzhi glanced at the seat next to her in a daze, but Di Feng whispered, "Kneel down."

She was struck dumb, her cheeks flushed red, and her hands trembled.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairwell.

Chen Wan'er turned to look at Xue Xin and smiled, "Go open the door."

Xuexin nodded quickly, and her body trembled as she walked out of the conference room.

I thought it would be Chen Shi and Grandpa Di who came, but it turned out to be Luo Xian and another unfamiliar man.

He wore a dark black uniform and a black hat, with a gun shaped like a sharp sword hanging at his waist. The patterns on his epaulets were imposing, and his eyes were extremely cold. Just one glance from him made Xue Xin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Luo Xian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Zhang, is Miss Chen here?"

Zhang Xuexin stammered, "She...she..."

"Come in," came Chen Wan'er's voice from inside the conference room.

The man in black walked into the conference room expressionlessly, followed by Zhang Xuexin and Luo Xian.

Then, the man in black deftly took out his identification from his trench coat: "Yang Yi, Minister of the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters."

"Ms. Chen, your accusations lack some evidence."

Li Qianzhi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

But then, Di Yun took out a stack of documents from his storage ring and was about to hand them to the man in black.

Sudden.

Di Feng kicked Li Qianzhi in the leg, and she immediately knelt down!

Li Qianzhi finally realized what was happening and screamed, "Sister-in-law, spare me! Spare me!"

At the same time, Yang Yi glanced at Di Yun, only to see Di Yun reluctantly put away the documents.

He said bluntly, "You'd better not make me come all this way for nothing."

After saying that, he walked out of the meeting room and ran to the backyard to see his grandfather telling a story to the child.

"Greetings, Lord of the Northern Continent!" Yang Yi saluted with utmost respect.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yang?" Di Tianzheng turned his head to look at him.

Yang Yi looked up and said, "Brother Shi said that you've been coming here quite frequently lately, which could easily lead those three families to misunderstand that we're in an alliance between our two states."

"That coward," Di Tianzheng snorted, "I know, I know, just don't come here again!"

Chen Shi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Di Tianzheng patiently explained, "I am the lord of Beizhou, and Shi Xincheng is the lord of Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is a region that is neither here nor there, and now I am also one of them. If the two of us get too close, those three families will keep an eye on us and then bother us like flies!"

After saying that, Di Tianzheng turned to Yang Yi and said, "Go and tell Shi Xincheng to stop thinking about that woman all the time. He should focus on improving his cultivation so that he won't be unable to handle things if something really happens."

Yang Yi gave an awkward smile and said, "I will definitely pass on the message to Brother Shi."

Chen Shi couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "Grandpa, why does the human race have to be divided into three families? Why do they have to fight amongst themselves?"

Di Tianzheng's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Because people's hearts can turn black!"

"To give you an example, my Northern Continent is now governed beautifully, but if one day I, your grandfather, become wicked and want to plunder and exploit the people, who can stop me?"

"The old man, the Human Emperor." Chen Shi raised an eyebrow.

Di Tianzheng shook his head and said, "The human race has nine provinces, with more than 300 billion people."

"A hundred million square kilometers of mountains and seas cannot be covered by a single pair of eyes."

"At this point, if I had an enemy, wouldn't the old man be able to relax a bit?"

"He can send enemies to patrol my territory and check if I'm corrupt."

"On the contrary, I also sent people to investigate the other party."

Chen Shi suddenly realized.

Di Tian leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, "From your current perspective, the existence of these three families has undermined the unity of the human race."

"But if you were a person from two hundred years ago, your perspective would be different."

"Back then, there were no academic cliques or armies, only powerful families."

"In those years, several powerful families, together with their subordinate smaller families, began to do some unscrupulous things. The stories are so horrifying they'll keep you up at night."

"Because of what happened, our power was divided up."

Chen Shih-hu's body trembled, and he said, "You mean, more than two hundred years ago, the aristocratic families were the villains, while the scholar-warlords and the army were the embodiment of divine justice?"

"Yes." Di Tianzheng nodded emphatically.

"So now they don't seem like good people anymore."

Di Tianzheng chuckled and said, "200 years is too long; it's enough to corrupt people's hearts."

Chen Shi's eyes widened: "Then what do we do?!"

Di Tianzheng said calmly, "That's something only the Emperor needs to worry about. We only need to remember one thing!"

He pointed to his chest and said, "We can't decide whether others do evil, but we can control ourselves!"

Chen Shi nodded emphatically.

Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound came from upstairs. Chen Shih-hu's body stiffened, and he looked up, asking, "What happened?"

After Yang Yi threw his cigarette butt into Di Yun's ashtray, he raised his hand and used elements to create a barrier, and the courtyard instantly became quiet.

Seeing this move, Di Tianzheng immediately asked, "Almost at the Martial God level?"

Yang Yi lowered his head and chuckled softly, "My martial arts skills are still lacking; it should be within three years."

Di Tianzheng laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. Remember to treat us to a feast later."

"Definitely!" Yang Yi nodded with a smile.

Chen Shi's eyes widened in surprise, thinking to himself, "Is this person a martial god?"

Di Tianzheng said calmly, "He is, after all, the head of the state's garrison, and should be a martial god. What's so surprising about that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi was even more surprised. This person's aura was indeed very strong, but it wasn't the domineering kind; rather, it was cold and ruthless, like the kind of thugs who follow their boss in TV dramas.

The thought that a henchman could be a martial god struck him as odd.

Now when I hear it...

Good heavens, he is indeed a thug, but he is the number one thug under the governor!

"Is the Minister of the Guardian Department of the Northern Continent a Martial God?" Chen Shi asked curiously.

Di Tianzheng said calmly, "Of course, otherwise I alone wouldn't have been able to crush the Jade Sky Demon God in such a short time."

His name is Liu Jiawang.

"It's the person who came with me."

Chen Shi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said, "Then doesn't that mean there are no Martial Gods in the Northern Continent now?!"

"Not bad." Di Tianzheng said in surprise, "You even thought of that."

"Aren't you worried?" Chen Shi couldn't help but show concern.

Di Tianzheng smiled and shook his head, offering no reply.

Yang Yi smiled easily to the side, while Chen Shi looked completely bewildered.

"Do you remember how I got here?" Di Tianzheng suddenly asked.

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems like you just suddenly appeared."

"Yes, so I can also suddenly disappear and return to the Northern Continent," Di Tianzheng said calmly.

"Space-based?"

Di Tianzheng looked up at the window of the second-floor living room and said, "Old Liu."

"I drove here last time because I'd never been here before, so I needed to scout it out and leave the coordinates."

Chen Shi immediately thought, "Then wasn't he the one who played a major role in killing the Jade Heaven Demon Emperor?"

"That's right." Di Tianzheng nodded.

"Then isn't he a general?"

Di Tianzheng patted Chen Shi on the shoulder and said, "A tall tree catches the wind."

"You are still young and can freely display your power. But once you reach our level, it's best not to let your enemies know the extent of your cultivation."

"For example, the Human Emperor hasn't made a move in nearly 300 years. How much vitality do you think he has left?"

"have no idea."

"The demon race, the monster race, I don't know either."

"That's why they dare not move!"
