In the ancient martial arts Chen family.
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong had gathered all the members of the Chen family together.
In front of them was a massive table laden with braised pork knuckles, large chunks of red-braised pork, and various other delicacies.
At the table, a thin, hunched-over old man was devouring the food with gusto, a pig's trotter in his left hand and a pork knuckle in his right.
The plates on the table were stacked over a meter high.
The rest of the Chen family could only watch from the sidelines.
"Grand... Grandmaster, you've already eaten 27 pork knuckles and 42 pig's trotters... The pigs in our Chen Family Village are almost wiped out," Chen Daoguan said, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
This old man had arrived the previous night, and they had treated him with the utmost hospitality.
But what happened?
The old man had been eating non-stop, specifically demanding pig's trotters and braised pork knuckles.
All 12 pigs raised in the Chen Family Village had been slaughtered, including a two-month-old piglet, which had been turned into roast suckling pig.
Jiang Shoulu raised his head, wiping the grease from his lips. "It seems you're not very welcoming, are you?"
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong: "..."
"Cough, cough, how could that be? Our Chen Family Village is known for its hospitality. As our esteemed guest, we absolutely welcome you with open arms!"
"Then stop wasting time! Bring me two more roast suckling pigs!"
"..."
What could they do? He was a grandmaster, after all.
If this man wanted to annihilate the Chen Family Village, it would take him no more than a snap of his fingers.
And just then!
From somewhere in the Chen family ancestral hall, a wild, unrestrained laugh erupted.
"Hahahaha! I've finally stepped into the grandmaster realm!"
Immediately after, there was a loud explosion!
"Boom!"
The door was kicked open, and a figure strode out.
"Huh? Where is everyone? Daoguan? Shouchong? Where are you?"
Chen Tiansheng was puzzled. Where had everyone gone?
"Clan... Clan Leader! The elders are all in the main hall... An uninvited guest has arrived in the Chen Family Village!" A butcher holding a cleaver, upon seeing the clan leader, seemed to have found a savior.
After some exaggerated storytelling, Chen Tiansheng was successfully enraged.
"Hmph... Do they really think the ancient martial arts Chen family has no one left? How dare they bully us like this!"
Chen Tiansheng clenched his fists. He certainly didn't believe the other party was a grandmaster. After all, what grandmaster would have the time to come to their Chen Family Village to cause trouble?
"But now that I've stepped into the grandmaster realm, the Chen Family Village will undoubtedly rise to become a first-rate ancient martial arts family."
Chen Tiansheng's heart was already filled with anticipation. With a grandmaster like himself, the Chen Family Village's status in the ancient martial arts world would surely soar to new heights.
......
"Let me see who dares to bully our Chen family!"
Chen Tiansheng stood with his hands behind his back and kicked the door open.
At the same time, all eyes in the Chen family turned to him.
Especially Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong, who, as Transform Force experts, could sense that Chen Tiansheng had successfully broken through!
He had become a grandmaster of the Gang Force, which filled them with ecstasy. The presence of a grandmaster was enough to elevate an ancient martial arts family to the first-rate level.
But soon, panic set in!
The clan leader had just broken through to the grandmaster realm, while the old man in front of them clearly had a higher cultivation level—likely at least late-stage grandmaster or even grandmaster perfection!
No! Clan Leader, don't provoke him!
The two of them frantically made faces at Chen Tiansheng.
But it was clear that Chen Tiansheng, newly ascended to the grandmaster realm, was brimming with confidence and arrogance, looking down on everyone.
His gaze fell directly on Jiang Shoulu, who was gnawing on a pork knuckle.
"Hmph... You have quite the nerve, coming alone to our Chen Family Village! Who gave you the courage?"
As he spoke, the Gang Force aura around Chen Tiansheng erupted, and a violent surge of internal energy flowed around him, forming a solid protective Gang Force shield.
This was the power of a grandmaster—able to condense Gang Force for protection, capable of withstanding close-range gunfire from pistols or even submachine guns. Only armor-piercing rounds could pose a threat.
Jiang Shoulu ignored him, continuing to eat the pork knuckle, taking a bite that removed nearly a fifth of the meat and swallowing it voraciously.
"Gurgle—"
For some reason, Chen Tiansheng's stomach growled, and he felt an inexplicable hunger.
The atmosphere remained tense for about a minute.
Finally, Jiang Shoulu slowly raised his head, his cloudy old eyes calmly staring at Chen Tiansheng.
The moment Chen Tiansheng saw Jiang Shoulu's face, his expression turned to one of shock.
"Grand... Grandmaster Jiang!"
Clearly, Chen Tiansheng knew him, and from the look on his face... it was fear.
"Hmph... Little Chen, it's been a while, hasn't it?"
Chen Tiansheng broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes darting to Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong beside him.
His gaze seemed to say: Why didn't you two tell me?
This is a grandmaster perfection-level expert! Now I'm stuck in a no-win situation!
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong's eyes were filled with helplessness. We're doomed, folks!
"Thud!"
Chen Tiansheng knelt down without hesitation. All that talk about grandmasters not being humiliated was nonsense. He had just broken through to the grandmaster realm and didn't want to die yet!
"Grandmaster Jiang, what brings you to our Chen Family Village?"
Jiang Shoulu ignored him, continuing to eat and drink.
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong quietly explained the whole situation to Chen Tiansheng, who was stunned.
His precious daughter... had actually beaten up the grandson of Jiang Yunhuang?
A chill ran up his spine, shooting straight to the top of his head.
He had never met Jiang Yunhuang in person, but the name of the martial arts sovereign was renowned throughout the ancient martial arts world of Dragon Country! A supreme grandmaster—a level he could never hope to reach in his lifetime.
"Ningshuang... You've really made a huge mistake this time!"
Chen Tiansheng's heart was bleeding. If Young Master Jiang was unharmed, things might be manageable. But if something happened to him... the entire Chen Family Village would be doomed!
"Grandmaster Jiang, Ningshuang definitely didn't mean to harm Young Master Jiang. There must be some misunderstanding!"
"Oh? Are you saying my young master was the one who started it?"
"No, no! I wouldn't dare!" Chen Tiansheng lowered his head even further.
He had never imagined that, just after breaking through to the grandmaster realm, he would be forced to kneel and submit to someone else.
But kneeling before Grandmaster Jiang... wasn't shameful!
After all, he was a grandmaster perfection-level expert.
Jiang Shoulu let out a satisfied burp and patted his stomach.
"My young master is fine, but the fact remains that your Chen family has insulted our Jiang family!"
"And the culprit, Chen Ningshuang, has voluntarily agreed to serve as a personal maid to my young master."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
