High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The smiling old man laughed heartily and landed beside Chen Shi.

This was perhaps the most intense emotional moment Chen Shi had ever experienced in his life.

No one can remain calm after teetering on the brink of death. Chen Shi took several deep breaths before he regained his composure.

The old man smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Chen Shi stared blankly at the sky and said, "I feel like I... have been reborn."

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for saving my life. I, Chen Shi, will never forget your great kindness!"

The old man laughed and said, "I've always believed that children should solve their own problems, and adults should solve their own problems."

"If their adults want to interfere in our children's affairs, we adults have a responsibility and an obligation to protect our children."

"Therefore, there is no debt of gratitude; this is my obligation!"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back under the sky, smiling as he looked at the brilliant distant sky. He exuded a strong sense of righteousness. Chen Shi stood to the side, influenced by this righteousness, and couldn't help but feel proud and excited.

"But you remember one thing."

"Please say so!" Chen Shi nodded quickly.

The old man said earnestly, "Whatever you do, don't let the news that Jin Jia is alive get out."

"I swear!" Chen Shi nodded emphatically.

"What vows are you making? Just remember them." The old man patted Chen Shi's shoulder and laughed, "When I held you as a child, you were only the size of my palm. Now I can't even hold your shoulder with my hand."

Chen Shidu blushed upon hearing this.

The old man said slowly, "You, grow up slowly, there's no need to rush. The human race is vast and powerful. Even if the sky were to fall, it would be your turn to carry it."

"Cultivation requires diligence, but life can't be neglected. Remember to rest on weekdays. If you encounter difficulties, take a nap. When you wake up, you'll be a hero again!"

Looking at the old man's smiling face, Chen Shi was overwhelmed with emotion and inexplicably wanted to cry. It was as if all the bitterness and sorrow of the past were being dispelled by the old man's smile, and even tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the distant future became something to look forward to.

It seems that as long as he's still standing there, everything will be alright.

"Okay, let's go!"

The old man held Chen Shi's shoulder and led him away from the Sky Mirror.

In the small guest room of the mud-covered Taoist gate.

Wu Su, his assistant, his master and mistress, Xue Xin, Shang Yuan, and everyone looked at the hospital bed. The anxiety in their eyes eased a lot, and the crying stopped, but they were still a little nervous.

Now, the black aura on Chen Shi's body has been completely dispelled.

His blood was no longer scalding hot, but warm, as if it were being bathed in sunlight. His expression became peaceful, like a person sleeping soundly, or even a little baby lying in a cradle, his body curled up towards the old man.

All indicators on the testing instrument were normal.

The person hasn't woken up yet.

at last.

Chen Shi's fingers twitched slightly.

Xuexin immediately straightened up.

then.

Chen Shi opened his eyes groggily, and the old man sitting next to him also opened his eyes at the same time.

Everyone nervously crowded around to check on Chen Shi's condition.

Chen Shi also saw everyone: Xue Xin with tears streaming down her face, his master's wife with slightly red eyes, and his master standing at the door with a complicated expression.

And an old man draped in a robe beside him gently patted Chen Shi's hand with his soft palm and said, "Alright, go and reunite with your family."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, and Di Yun quickly offered the old man a cigarette, then bent down to light it for him.

After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, the old man patted Di Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You've taken good care of Chen Shi."

"You're no worse than your father."

Di Yun immediately blushed and quickly said, "No, no, no."

"Haha," the old man laughed, "I'm afraid you'll tell your father about it as soon as you get back."

Di Yun couldn't help but laugh. Of course, when he got back, he would definitely tell his father that the old man said he was better than him, and that he said it himself. That's awesome.

The old man, with a cigarette between his fingers, nodded and said, "In dealing with women, you are indeed much better than your father."

Are you really willing to grow old like this?

Di Yun smiled and said, "I have no regrets in this life."

The old man frowned slightly, glanced at Wan'er, and hesitated, thinking to himself that Xiao Tian's actions back then were truly terrible, and that the young couple was such a pity.

This regret was not beyond redress, but for the sake of strategy, he didn't say it aloud, letting everything unfold naturally.

The old man said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Chen Wan'er quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me see you off."

"Very good." The old man nodded with a smile.

This was his first time meeting Chen Wan'er, and he had always wanted to meet her and hear her views on the current situation.

But at this moment...

Chen Shi suddenly spoke nervously, "Your Majesty the Human Emperor."

"Hmm?" The old man paused, turned around, and asked, "What does Comrade Chen have to say?"

Chen Shi took a deep breath and said, "The dream my parents left inside my body... why didn't it appear just now?"

"That thing," the old man's smile faded slightly, and he said seriously, "is because everything is just beginning."

"You have only just begun to grasp the blood of the Primordial God, but the cells of Qiongji still flow in this blood. He can no longer directly enter your Heavenly Court as before, but when you encounter the Primordial God again, he still has a way to forcibly invade your body through other gods."

"You are the most perfect vessel in his eyes, so you must find a way to turn the blood of the Supreme God into the blood of Chen Shi that belongs only to you, so as to completely sever ties with him."

"It's during that process that your parents will intervene!"

Chen Shi's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "So, all of this was planned?"

"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "Back then, we had already roughly guessed the source of the Extreme God Blood. This time, our actions were part of your parents' plan. I also took this opportunity to meet the second-best person in the world from the Primordial Era."

"Next comes what your biological parents asked for."

"What they left you can help you evolve the blood of the Supreme God into your own blood, thereby completely breaking the shackles of fate that bind you."

Chen Shi nodded silently.

"But there's no need to worry," the old man chuckled. "You have an entire human race behind you!"

"There will be times when the wind and waves will be overcome!"

"I refuse to believe that this insignificant so-called supreme god can render my glorious human race helpless!"

It was that same hopeful smile and tone of voice again.

Chen Shi's worries were dispelled.

He asked, "Your Majesty, that guy's true form was the only opponent the Golden Armor was back then."

"If he truly resurrects and returns with a vengeance, will you... win?"

Upon hearing this, the old man paused for a moment, then laughed heartily and went out.
