Chapter 1: The Fallen Genius

Oriental Mangyuan, right flag city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is one of the few large cities in the entire Eastern Mangyuan, with a city wall as high as 20 meters, which firmly protects the inhabitants inside from the flood of desolate beasts on the Mangyuan.
The city, which was originally built by less than 20,000 migrant refugees, now has a population of more than 870,000 and is growing.
Where there are people, there is naturally a struggle for rights.
The strongest person seized the most advantageous position and formed a family.
One hundred and thirty years ago, the power struggle between the families was once white-hot, and even because of the internal struggle, it almost endangered the safety of the entire Right Banner City.
Since then, people have learned from the pain and temporarily suspended the infighting.
The elite took the lead in setting up the Right Banner Protector Army, and every ten years elected the person with the highest prestige and strength to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Protectorate, called Batur.
This army, self-contained, is independent of any family power.
There is only one goal, to eliminate the desolate beasts and defend the right banner city.
West of the city, Lishen Mansion.
The main force Tianming is one of the few great masters of the god realm in the entire Right Banner City, and the commander of the city guard battalion.
Defending the city for five years, the battle is impressive.
Li Tianming is upright, and he doesn't give face to the major families who control the resources of the entire Right Banner City at all.
For this reason, he has offended many people from major families, and is regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, but there is no way for the city protector to support the family forces against him.
But just two and a half years ago, Li Tianming and his predecessor Batur Tang Yan died in battle during the attack on the ancient battlefield of the Forbidden Land, leaving behind a pair of children.
Without the power of Tianming's power god mansion, it exists in name only.
According to the military decree, if no one in the Lishen Mansion can regain their position as commander within three years, their protection will be revoked, and there is still one month left.
The sky has just turned white.
In the martial arts arena in the Lishen Mansion, a teenager was practicing in the field, punching the wooden stake one by one, making a dull sound.
Beads of sweat slowly oozed from his head, falling drop by drop, wetting his collar.
This young man is the young master of the Lishen Mansion.
Most people are sleeping at this time, but they don't have the strength.
For him, rest is a luxury, and he must try his best to improve his strength quickly.
"I've been a waste wood for three years, and I still don't admit defeat, and I don't see any use in practicing all day long, and there is still a month before the power of the Divine Mansion is about to come to a catastrophe, and then it will be dead. ”
"Three years ago, the little young master was almost beaten to death by the Dou family, and the master rushed into the Dou family in a fit of anger and swept away the face of the Dou family. This beam can't be unraveled, and as soon as the protection period arrives, the Dou family will definitely be the first to make trouble. ”
"I heard that among the children of the Dou family, some people have already made up the idea of Miss Lisi. ”
"With the strength of the young master now, how can I fight with the Dou family? I already plan to leave, I can't wait for death here. ”
"Then you still want to leave at this time, where is the righteousness?"
"Cut...... Is it important to have a life of righteousness? If you want to die, you can stay here and die, we will not accompany you. ”
......
In the distance, a group of servants in the mansion who got up early to trim the garden and clean the courtyard gathered together to watch and discuss.
These people didn't even deliberately lower their voices, and they passed into Lizhi's ears.
However, Li Zhi did not stop cultivating because of this, he was already accustomed to it.
The body of the force is bowed into a semicircle, which is completely different from the posture of ordinary people when fighting, which is a basic cultivation technique in the army [Gangdouquan] passed down to him by his father.
Through continuous exertion, the bones, muscles, fascia of the whole body are moved, and the true qi is generated, and then the blood and qi in the body are impacted, and the energy can be unimpeded.
This exercise has been practiced by Li Zhi since he was ten years old.
When he was thirteen years old, he had already reached the peak of the refining realm, and he was ranked alongside a girl named Da Ling, known as the Double Absolute of the Right Banner City.
But it's a pity that he was almost killed by the Dou family that year, and after that, he didn't move forward an inch and completely fell from the altar.
It's been three whole years, and [Gangdou Fist] can't make him have a trace of true qi anymore.
Tens of thousands of punches, sweat erupted uncontrollably from his body, bringing out a large amount of impurities, completely wetting his clothes, exuding a fishy smell.
Lizhi's body was extremely tired, especially his arms, which were almost sore.
Every painful place on his body reminded him that he had reached the limit, his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"I haven't seen Da Ling for a long time, and the gap between me and her is getting bigger and bigger. Lizhi lay on the ground, inhaling heavily, not even having the strength to move.
The little girl who was tied with her back then is said to have successfully broken through and become the youngest master of the Qi Xuan Realm in Right Banner City.
He was exceptionally promoted to the commander of the Right Banner Protector Army.
And he is still hovering in the realm of refining strength, and he is two big realms behind.
Genius turns into waste.
Lizhi once became the laughing stock of the entire Right Banner City after tea and dinner.
In the past three years, he has lived in seclusion, trying to avoid hearing some gossip.
"In another month, it will be the time when the Lishen Mansion will lose its protection. I have to become stronger, otherwise those families will make the Lishen Mansion disappear, it doesn't matter if I am alone, but Lisi is still young, she can't be humiliated, and his......sed "It's really not good to be tired, the whole body will fall apart, and the head is groggy, as if a thousand horses are trampling, and the head is starting to hurt again."
After that, as soon as I exercised to the limit, my head began to sting.
Lizhi is used to it.
The east was already white, the sky was gradually brightening, the slightly cool wind was blowing, and the sweat shivered all over the body.
Suddenly, he rolled over and sat up.
Just now, he felt a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.
It's really angry.
Although it was faint and fleeting, he was sure that his feelings could not be wrong.
It's just that this true qi didn't flow in his body, and it disappeared immediately when it appeared, rushing into his forehead and eyebrows, and it was because of that trace of true qi that it gave him a headache.
"What's going on?"
Li Zhi was full of puzzlement, and he fought hard and sank down to observe the position of the eyebrows.
"I ...... Why is there something in the center of my eyebrows......" A spirit was so frightened that he almost opened his eyes, and just where the true qi disappeared, he saw a hexagonal gem the size of a fingernail, fiery red that was constantly rotating around the vertical axis.
When you close your eyes and look inward, it's like you've got a third eye.
It wasn't like he hadn't observed it before, but he had never noticed it, as if it had appeared out of thin air today.
On the outside of the gem, there were streams of true qi entwined, forming a whirlpool.
Li Zhi felt the true qi with his spirit and was startled.
It's like the sea, endless.
This is all the true qi he has accumulated in the past three years of cultivation, and it is so terrifying.
Just when he was shocked, the gem suddenly began to rotate in the opposite direction, and in the whirlpool, a trace of true qi burst out, rushing into his body.
This trace of true qi surged through his body, slowly weakened, and finally disappeared.
The corners of Lizhi's mouth drew an arc, and slowly the arc became larger and larger, and a chuckle came out of his throat, and finally the chuckle turned into a wild laugh.
"Hahaha...... I didn't become a waste, the original true qi was absorbed by this gem, and now it is finally full and begins to return to me. Lizhi laughed and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears.
In the past three years, he has been under tremendous pressure and has been cultivating day and night.
Never give up.
It's like carrying an invisible mountain on your shoulders.
It's not that he's afraid that people will laugh at him for being a waste.
It's not that I'm afraid that others will look down on him.
Instead, he was afraid that his sister Lisi and Da Ling's expectations of him would be shattered.
I am afraid that the prestige of my father and the power of the god will be ruined in his hands.
I am even more afraid that if I lose the protection of the army, my sister will be insulted by others.
"Brother, you've been working too hard lately. A girl gently walked up to Lizhi's side, squatted on the ground and gently wiped the tears from his face, her eyes full of distress.
Li Zhi dried his tears with his sleeves, revealing a row of white teeth: "Sisi, I have re-cultivated my true qi, these three years...... I'm sorry for you. ”
"Is it true?" said Lith.
"Silly girl, will my brother lie to you. Lizhi lovingly stroked Lisi's hair, and his throat rolled.
"Great, with my brother's talent, if you resume your cultivation, you will definitely be able to become a genius again soon. At that time, no one will dare to look down on his brother, and he can also confess to Sister Da Ling. Lisi almost jumped up with joy.
"Don't make a noise for the time being, it's better to let everyone treat me as a waste, especially now that many families are staring at us, the more low-key the better. Lizhi sighed and grinned.
"Young Master. ”
At this moment, a voice was heard in the distance.
It's the housekeeper of the Lishen Mansion, and he carries a burden on his back.
"Are you going out, butler?" asked Lizhi in surprise.
"Young master, I'm ...... Something happened to my hometown, and I wanted to quit my job and go back to the countryside. The butler's face twitched a little, and he lowered his head, not daring to look straight.
"Uncle Butler, you've been in our house for five years, why are you leaving at this time?" asked Lisi.
"I ...... I'm sorry young master, miss...... Take care. The butler shook his head and left.
Li Zhi looked at his distant back and sighed slightly.
"Young master, our mother is sick, and we have a son, so our family must go home to take care of our mother, please let the young master go. Not long after, another rough voice sounded, it was the Fuzhong Nursing Hospital, and it seemed that it was ready to leave.
Lizhi nodded, not saying anything more.
He can understand the thoughts of these people, and he does not have any reproach, after all, no one wants to follow a master who has no future.
Strength is king.
Without strength, no matter how much you say, it's empty words.
"Sisi, I'm going to pay my respects at my father's grave in a while, and if anyone wants to leave, you can ask them to pay their wages in full. When the nursing home walked out of the gate, Li Zhi said to Lisi.
After living in the house for three years, and now that he can cultivate again, Li Zhi only wants to tell his father the good news as soon as possible.
I went back to the room and took a hot bath, changed into new clothes, and strode out of the Force's Mansion.
Li Tianming used to be the commander of the city protection army, and after his death, he was buried in the cemetery specially opened for the soldiers of the city protection army in the west area outside the city.
In order to avoid trouble, Lizhi will only go to worship on October 15 every year.
This time, a month ahead of schedule.
There are more than ten miles from the Chengxi Lishenfu to the cemetery in the west area outside the city, and in the past, people were allowed to prepare fruits and eat in advance to worship Lizhi.
This time it was suddenly advanced, and these things had to be procured by themselves.
Walking to the bustling market, Lizhi stopped in front of a fruit stall, selected some beautiful fruits, and was about to weigh and pay.
"Huh...... Isn't this the waste young master of the Lishen Mansion?I was seriously injured by my brother three years ago, and I have been closed since then, how dare I go out and be embarrassed today?" At this moment, a sharp voice full of ridicule sounded behind him.
The owner of this voice, Li Zhi is too familiar.
Even if it turns to ashes, it can be recognized, and the main reason why he has been treated as waste in the past three years is because of him.
Dou Xian!
