High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Late at night, in the prefecture of Nanzhou.

Grandpa Sun Denglou and his grandson Sun Yunling sat facing each other.

A huge chart was laid out in front of the two of them.

The chart is covered with names.

Almost all human beings with names and surnames are included on this huge chart, which is divided into three parts.

The three names in the very center are Long Yichuan, Piaomiao, and Yu Kuan.

The three are the driving force behind the current three pillars of the human race.

One side represents the monopoly of power, the other represents the will of the Emperor, and Piaomiao and the name behind him represent a neutral third party.

Sun Denglou's name is after Long Yichuan's, with the title of "Lord of Nanzhou" written above it. Sun Yunling's name is below it, with the title of "Future Lord of Nanzhou" written below it.

At this time.

Sun Denglou stroked his white beard and said leisurely, "Yunling, can you understand this picture?"

Sun Yunling shook her head and said, "I couldn't see it very clearly!"

At this moment, Sun Denglou suddenly took out a pen, and with the tip of the pen, he ran it over Chen Shi behind Di Tianzheng and lightly made an "X". Then he wrote the name Long Xiangnian on the back.

"Do you see it clearly now?"

Sun Yunling said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, I saw it clearly!"

"I just don't understand, does taking down Chen Shi really have any impact on the overall situation?"

"The bloodline immortality is gone," Sun Denglou said calmly. "The legacy resides in Chen Shi."

"If Chen Shishang doesn't come, his internal skills representing the Di family will be forgotten, and the Di family will suffer as a result."

"That's one point."

"The second point is Di Tianzheng himself."

"He is now at the height of his power in the North Continent."

"But if war breaks out twenty years from now, who can guarantee they'll survive to the end?"

"That was a major reshuffle."

"There's no need for him to die; as long as Di Tianzheng is seriously wounded on the battlefield, he's finished."

"Of my two sons, one, Di Feng, lacks talent, and the other, Di Yun, has almost given up on his martial arts path."

"Who will succeed as the ruler of the Northern State?"

Sun Denglou stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely in his office, "The emperor's weakness is the people."

"Why is it that our Sun family, so unconventional, has yet to be targeted?"

"Because the southern state is prosperous and strong, the people are united, and the surname Sun has been used for more than 300 years."

"Among the thousands of households in this southern region, who is not related to our Sun family?"

"The old folks often say that a single spark can start a prairie fire. Once I fall, these thousands of households will become a prairie fire, because they rose to power thanks to my Sun family."

"So he can't touch me! Unless he finds another person who is more popular and more suitable, but as long as I am still the God of War and haven't aged, that person doesn't exist."

"Even if I fall, I still have your father and your second uncle."

"Every powerful relative in our family is a wall; you tear one down and another one appears."

"The Kedi family doesn't have it."

"I don't know how that little brat Di Tianzheng manages his family. A hundred years have passed, and he hasn't even raised a decent descendant."

Sun Denglou chuckled and said, "In this magnificent world of martial arts, for people to live and work in peace and contentment, it is not enough to just have money and land; they also need a sense of security."

"This sense of security comes from their governor."

"If the ruler of a state is weak, the people will be uneasy."

"then."

"People from this state will begin to migrate in search of a safer home, to more prosperous and safer places like Jiangzhou and Nanzhou."

"But the Northern Continent is a strategically vital area that military strategists must contend for, so it must be developed."

"Only if we have the financial resources to support another North Continent."

"They have to give us this position, both morally and logically."

"Once we take down the ruler of the Northern Continent, we won't be far from controlling the entire human race."

"So two days from now, you not only have to win, but you have to win beautifully and decisively!"

"You must use your victory to tell everyone that the power of divine-level internal energy can only be fully developed by people of a specific bloodline."

"With no descendants, the Di family will no longer be able to help the human race. The future of the Northern Continent is uncertain and hopeless."

"In this process, we could even find a way to force Chen Shijiao to bleed for eternal life!"

Sun Yunling smiled and lowered her head, saying, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Someone like Chen Shi, who got to where he is today by sheer luck, can't possibly be my match."

Sun Denglou hummed in agreement and then said, "Then I'll continue to build momentum for you."

"The more famous you are, the better, so that when you take my place in the future, people will be truly convinced."

But to their utter surprise, things took a terrible turn the next day.

The Sun family sat in front of the television, watching a press conference from Jiangzhou.

Chen Shi stood in front of the microphone and calmly spoke.

The first sentence changed the expression of the Sun family.

"I will accept the challenge from my grandson from the South."

"After all, they're eager to be beaten up, so there's no reason for them to refuse."

"I just don't quite understand why he can speak so righteously."

"I clearly remember how that dog named Song Yi insulted me, Zhang Xuexin, and the entire Beizhou and Jiangzhou before the logging challenge."

"You said we were stray dogs from another state."

"You say the reason you're targeting us is simple: you just can't stand the so-called rural accents from other states."

"Unsurprisingly, your people are finished, paying a heavy price for your ridiculous sense of superiority."

"But I never expected that you would dare to come to my territory to challenge me."

"Very well, then you'll be the next one to be crippled, Sun Yunling."

After he finished speaking, all the journalists from Jiangzhou at the press conference applauded, their faces beaming with excitement.

After Chen Shijing waited for their applause and laughter to subside, he said, "In the challenge you sent me, you wrote very clearly that it would determine both the winner and the loser, and even decide their fate!"

"Personally, I don't think this kind of verbal mockery is very meaningful."

As he spoke, Chen Shi suddenly took out a rolled-up piece of yellow paper, and pulled it open in full view of everyone, revealing a huge scroll as large as a banner.

Three large, scarlet characters on the scroll caught everyone's eye—"A Contract for Life and Death!"

The journalists present were startled and momentarily forgot to press the flash button.

Sun Yunling's father, Sun Fengxian, stood up angrily and shouted, "What does this bastard want to do?!"

The patriarch, Sun Denglou, said indifferently, "So rash and unruly! What kind of behavior is this? Let's see what else he has to say!"

Chen Shi handed the death warrant to two staff members beside him and asked them to unfold it.

His gaze darkened slightly as he said, "My name is already signed!"

"If you're really as brave as you say, then sign it!"

"Don't bring shame upon your family and your Southern Continent!"

The audience erupted in applause, and everyone's face was filled with excitement, especially the supporters from Jiangzhou and Linshan City, who cheered and applauded enthusiastically.

They really didn't expect Chen Shi to make such a resolute response the very next day, showing no sign of weakness!

It's too hard!
