In any era, even a true genius cannot alone possess the light that can illuminate the entire dark world.
From a student to a marshal, for Li Tianlan, it was a step up to the sky after hard work. The final exercise of the two institutes of Zhongzhou made Li Tianlan successful. However, this was the most boring but also the highest quality exercise in recent years. The losers also have their own light. .
The grievances between the Li family and the Wang family in Beihai lie ahead. Faced with opponents who are already ahead of him, Wang Shengxiao, who dares to take the initiative to fall into trouble, is undoubtedly the most dazzling young man besides Li Tianlan.
After the final exercise, Wang Shengxiao fell directly from the peak of the Thunder Realm to the Burning Fire Realm. With the realm retreating thousands of miles, the entire Central Continent paid more attention to the heir of the Wang family in Beihai. Judging from Wang Shengxiao's current performance, everyone agreed. It is believed that his current strength has surpassed that of Wang Tianzong when he was young. In terms of potential, Wang Shengxiao, who has both wind and thunder veins, is even better than his father.
As for courage, retreating from the peak of Thunder Realm to the peak of Burning Fire Realm can already explain everything.
Talk about hard work
Wang Shengxiao has reached such a state at the age of twenty-five this year. If he didn't work hard, even if he was given ten wind and thunder veins, he still wouldn't be able to reach this stage.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, in the next few decades, even if Li Tianlan can sweep through the dark world and become a contemporary genius, Wang Shengxiao's final achievements may not be much worse than Li Tianlan. Now many people even agree that Wang Shengxiao's final achievements will surpass his father.
This is not blind conjecture.
Instead, it follows the development rules of the Beihai Wang family.
Throughout the entire dark world, the leader of the Beihai Wang clan can be said to be in the most dazzling position.
This is a great family that has been at the top for hundreds of years.
How tough of a shoulder is needed to bear such glorious glory
Everyone has something they need to bear, and an Imperial Army Mountain and a Beihai Province are the weight that always weighs on the shoulders of the leader of the Beihai Wang clan.
Such a huge weight will make every heir of the Beihai Wang family go crazy to become stronger.
How brilliant they are, how fearful they are in their hearts.
Therefore, for hundreds of years, the patriarchs of the Beihai Wang clan in the past generations may not necessarily be talented and wise masters, but they are definitely strong men at the pinnacle, without exception.
Now as the years go by, Wang Tianzong, who already knows his destiny, will soon enter his sixtieth year. The Sword Emperor is approaching the end of his peak state, and behind him is the Wang family in Beihai. Outside Beihai, the Li family has been calm. After making a comeback, the 22-year-old Li Tianlan is making great strides and is unparalleled in his talent and brilliance.
Under such circumstances, Wang Shengxiao felt pressure that was enough to suffocate him.
Under such tremendous pressure, it is not surprising that Wang Shengxiao finally reached any height.
Now everyone recognizes Li Tianlan's strength and potential, and most people believe that the future of Central Continent and the Dark World will be dominated by Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao.
In addition to the two of them, the young master of Kunlun City, Gu Hanshan, who was the new king of heaven, was equally dazzling at first, but after the final exercise, the light of the young genius in him was constantly disappearing, while the other person was in everyone's eyes. Becoming more and more important, shining brightly like a rising star.
Not Lin Youxian, the almost unknown young master of the Lin clan.
Rather, it is a name that although once stood in a high position, it is always a little bit behind the young talent.
It rains on the river.
Everyone knows that Jiang Shangyu is very strong.
But no one knows where he is strong.
In the past few years, he has been silently walking behind several young geniuses. His combat power is slightly inferior, his entry level is slightly inferior, and he rarely has any impressive results.
Until the final battle of the exercise.
A Jiang Shangyu who has determined his future path!
A Jiang Shangyu who will steadily enter the invincible realm from now on.
A blockbuster.
This kind of road and this kind of behavior are too familiar. Maybe no one said anything clearly, but this kind of Jiang Shangyu really impacted the hearts of every senior executive in Zhongzhou.
Because many years ago, there was also a young man like Jiang Shangyu today, silent, gentle, low-key, neither fighting nor grabbing, silently walking behind several top geniuses, with slightly less combat power and slightly less entry. Difference.
But his steps were extremely steady, so steady that he has never stopped until today.
Several top geniuses of his generation have left the peak of their era due to various reasons, but he is still moving forward step by step, faltering, but with a power that makes the whole world awe.
His name is Wang Tianzong, now the Sword Emperor of Central Continent.
Wang Shengxiao is Wang Tianzong's son.
But Jiang Shangyu's path was so similar to Wang Tianzong's.
His performance in the final exercise completely suppressed Guhanshan. At least in the minds of many people now, Jiang Shangyu's future is more valued and worth looking forward to than Guhanshan.
Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao, Jiang Shangyu.
Nowadays, the three most popular young people in Central Continent have finally chosen two completely different paths as the exercises between the two houses of Central Continent come to an end.
Chaos broke out in Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan led the army northward and set off a huge change in the Ulan Kingdom. Within a day of his death, he killed two invincibles in a row and captured the Ulan Kingdom in Central Continent that he had been thinking about winning all the time for twenty years.
Li Tianlan's name resounds throughout the dark world, like the sun.
However, Wang Shengxiao and Jiang Shangyu fell completely silent.
There was no news about Wang Shengxiao at all.
Jiang Shangyu is said to have been recuperating in Northern Xinjiang, but no one has seen him except his biological father Jiang Shan.
But the night of August 17th in Eastern Europe.
In the morning light of August 18th in Zhongzhou, Jiang Shangyu's figure indeed appeared in a small manor owned by the Jiang family in Jiangcheng.
The sunshine in Jiangcheng is bright.
The warm sunshine shone on Jiang Shangyu's body, and his whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.
Jiang Shangyu held his mobile phone and looked at the flowers in the manor.
The flowers are blooming in brilliant colors, and the night has just passed. In the early morning, the petals of every flower are filled with hazy moisture and are full of vitality.
Jiang Shangyu, who was still a little pale, looked at the flowers in front of him with joy and joy in his eyes.
Jiang Shan, the top leader of the Northern Xinjiang Province, came over from behind, looked at his son who was playing with the flowers, and asked, "Whose phone number is it?"
"Li Tianlan."
Jiang Shangyu turned around and said.
Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.
Jiang Shangyu thought about the phone call he had just had with Li Tianlan, and shook his head with a smile.
The call between the two didn't last long.
Li Tianlan simply asked the Demon Legion.
Jiang Shangyu said that his knowledge was limited and that he had already said what needed to be said, so naturally he could not give any clues now.
Li Tianlan didn't say much and simply hung up the phone.
No politeness, no temptation, just straight forward.
It seems that the life-and-death struggle in the final exercise not long ago has turned into a grudge that gradually fades away and leaves no trace.
Jiang Shangyu thought quietly and suddenly said: "Leki City... it may be very lively tonight."
"Do you have news?"
Jiang Shan asked.
Jiang Shangyu shook his head: "It's Li Tianlan. He asked me about the demon army."
The demon army has always been a legend in the outside world.
The so-called legend is something that may not necessarily exist.
If he hadn't really seen or encountered something, Li Tianlan would not have called him out of boredom to ask about the demon army in detail.
Because they are not familiar with each other.
And Li Tianlan doesn't like listening to stories either.
Jiang Shan's eyes narrowed, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
The Jiang family can confirm the existence of the demon army. The Jiang family's once invincible state fell into the hands of the demon army. Otherwise, the Jiang family today would be even more powerful and terrifying.
Jiang Shan thought in silence for a while, and then asked: "How is your injury?"
"fine."
Jiang Shangyu smiled: "I took one step forward just to cope with the final exercise. As for taking two steps back, it was a trivial matter. To be honest, in the final exercise, I originally planned to imitate Wang Shengxiao. If I could retreat from the Thunder Realm to In the Burning Fire Realm, the current foundation may become even more terrifying.”
"How can it be?"
Jiang Shan shook his head.
Jiang Shangyu is four years older than Li Tianlan and one year older than Wang Shengxiao. He is already twenty-six years old this year.
His progress in martial arts was indeed not rapid, but he had already reached the peak of the Burning Fire Realm at the age of twenty-two.
From the peak of the Burning Fire Realm to the Thunderous Realm, Jiang Shangyu spent four years polishing his skills in this small realm!
This is true accumulation.
His foundation in the Burning Fire Realm was so solid that it was unimaginable that even if he really wanted to fall to the Burning Fire Realm, he would not be able to return to the Burning Fire Realm. In the final exercise, he also chose to fall to the Burning Fire Realm, but compared to Wang Shengxiao, he could only Reluctantly taking a step back is a solid foundation.
"You know, nothing is impossible in martial arts, it's just that we didn't find the right way, or we didn't have enough luck."
Jiang Shangyu put away his mobile phone and quietly stared at the not dazzling sunshine on the horizon.
Under the bright light, he stood there, his outline extremely profound.
"Actually... there is no need to pursue perfection."
Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Shangyu, the son who made him so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied.
He knew his character, he knew his abilities, but he also knew his ambitions.
It is ridiculous to have ambition but no ability.
It is a sad thing to have the ability to be ambitious.
What does it mean to have the ability and ambition but not enough resources
Jiang Shan had mixed feelings in his heart.
He reached out and patted his son's shoulder hard, and said in a heavy voice: "You are fine now, really fine."
Jiang Shangyu stretched out his hand and held Jiang Shan's hand firmly.
He laughed softly, softly and warmly: "Dad, what I want is not very good. I have seen through the word good a long time ago that it is meaningless. The higher you go, the less people think they are very good. I pursue It’s not very good, what I pursue is just to be no worse than others.”
He paused and continued to smile: "No worse than anyone else."
"Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan."
"Why can't I not do what they can do? Why? They can step up step by step with resources. Our Jiang family doesn't have so many resources, but when they only look at the road ahead, I I can bend down or even kneel down. I will dig out the resources I need little by little. In this way, I may walk slower, but I will not miss anything. I will reach the end one day. I am no better than anyone else. No matter what, the Jiang family is no worse than any other family!"
"you are my son!"
Jiang Shan said in a low voice: "Of course you are no worse than anyone else. It's me. It's me who is incompetent as a father. If I..."
"enough."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and patted his father's hand on his shoulder, and said softly: "That's enough, dad. Do you know who the person I admire most in this life is?"
Jiang Shan didn't speak, but several names that could turn everything upside down in the dark world flashed through his mind.
Those are real strong men.
"The one I admire most is you."
Jiang Shangyu said softly: "You are not invincible, and your position in the decision-making bureau is average, but you are my father. Our Jiang family does not have so many resources, but our Jiang family has been moving up and getting stronger. You bow your head Stooping down and being cautious, even though he is a high-level person, he lives a humble life, but no one in the entire Jiang family has ever felt inferior, and neither have I. Dad, to be honest, you don’t have to give me too much, because you I have been given a lot, and I have been very stable since I was a child. Stability is the best."
"Maybe with your status, you can't give me more things, but those are not what I need. You have done enough. The Jiang family is what it is today, and I am what I am today, all because of you. So Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong I don’t envy the invincibility, the domineering God of War, and the selflessness of Li Honghe. In my heart, only my father is the greatest and the most worthy of my admiration.”
Jiang Shan felt the warmth on his son's palm and closed his eyes slightly.
The sunlight illuminated his pale temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled slightly.
"Dad, let me leave the Jiang family to me. Our Jiang family is in the process of starting from scratch. We can live without everything, but the men of the Jiang family deserve their family and their children in this life. If you can't do it, I will do it. , even if I can’t do it, I will have a son, and I hope that I will become the person my son admires most, take over what I can’t do, and continue to do it.”
Jiang Shangyu held his father's hand tightly and whispered, "Everything will be fine."
"Safety is best."
Jiang Shan said softly.
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a moment, then smiled: "How can we be stable until we reach the peak?"
The pinnacle is supreme.
Only by being supreme can there be true tranquility and tranquility.
Peace is stability.
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Shangyu in front of him, and said gently: "Don't be too hasty."
"I understand."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and nodded. His eyes were dazed for a moment, he retracted his palm, put it behind his back, and said with a smile: "I just want to grab something I can grab."
The sunlight gradually became dazzling.
The blazing light covered up all the brilliance in his eyes.
Jiang Shangyu suddenly shouted softly: "Dad."
"Um?"
Jiang Shan responded.
"Have you ever heard of heart cancer?"
Jiang Shangyu asked.
Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment: "Heart cancer?"
"An extremely rare heart tumor. There have been few cases in Central Continent in the past hundred years. The occasional few cases are all caused by special reasons. This is a disease that cannot happen without special circumstances."
Jiang Shangyu said.
Jiang Shan shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
"I haven't seen it either."
Jiang Shangyu smiled: "I just remembered a story I heard a long time ago."
"It is said that in a certain country, a powerful man found that his position became more and more embarrassing and his influence became weaker and weaker after the country's situation changed. In order to save himself and his family's fate, he had to ask another person However, unfortunately, this old man had offended the young man a long time ago, but in order to reverse the fate of himself and his family, he decided to humbly pray to the young man. Apologize."
"The two met at a high-level banquet. The old man occasionally felt cold and coughed a few times. Out of concern, the young magnate called a doctor to diagnose the old man. Zhongzhou's medicine is profound and profound, and the doctor just took a pulse for the old man. The old man has been diagnosed with heart cancer and needs immediate treatment."
"The old man knew that he did not have heart cancer, but he still thanked the young giant for his kindness and apologized to him seriously."
"The other party generously stated that the previous grudge was just a misunderstanding. After the banquet, everything in the past would be wiped out. However, he made a request, or rather a request, to the old man."
Jiang Shangyu's tone suddenly paused.
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"And what? What request did he make?"
Jiang Shan asked.
"Then"
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "The young giant said that heart cancer is rare in the world, and that a tumor growing in the heart is simply a fantasy. He really hopes to see with his own eyes what the so-called heart cancer looks like, and hopes that the old man can make it happen. he."
The corners of Jiang Shan's mouth moved.
"dad."
Jiang Shangyu laughed in a strange tone: "Do you know what happened in the end?"
The corners of Jiang Shan's mouth moved and he was speechless for a moment.
"The old man agreed to the other party's request at that banquet. He called home, then asked the young giant for a dagger, stabbed him with the knife, and dug out his own heart!"
Jiang Shan suddenly felt that this midsummer morning was so cold, like the depth of winter.
Jiangshan has never heard of this story.
It doesn't matter whether the story is true or false.
The important thing is that the content of this story is so brutal.
There are ups and downs in life, and they all die together in the end.
But in the eyes of the superior, life and death can also be manipulated and played with. The only difference is whether the other party wants you to die.
When the other party wants you to die, he can kill you directly if he is justified.
When the other party wants you to die, if he has the power, he can kill you directly.
When the other party wants you to die, he can force you to death directly if he is unreasonable and has no power.
In the eyes of the superior, if he wants you to live, a cold is just a cold; if he wants you to die, a cold is heart cancer.
extreme.
Cold-blooded.
overbearing.
cruel.
This story directly shows the difference between high and low status, leaving no room for it.
“A story is a story.”
Jiang Shan was silent for a long time before speaking softly.
"yes."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "I just suddenly remembered it and couldn't help but share it with you."
The sun continued to rise, illuminating the entire city.
Jiang Shangyu smiled calmly, as if he had never mentioned the coldness and cruelty of the dark world just now.
One of his hands was still behind his back, clenched into a fist.
The nails pierced the flesh and blood, and the blood flowed down the palms of the hands drop by drop, dyeing the ground red, so bright that it was almost dazzling.
Jiang Shan seemed to want to say something else.
But a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Jiang Shan lowered his head and glanced at the number, his expression slightly condensed.
"who?"
Jiang Shangyu asked, calmly.
Jiang Shan glanced at him and said calmly: "Gu Xingyun."
Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
The exercise between the two houses held in Huating is coming to an end.
It's close, which means it's not officially over yet.
However, as the content of the exercise on the first day was too shocking, the young invincible-level combat power and the peak of the Thunder Realm almost overshadowed all the subsequent exercises, and the first place was booked by Donghuang Palace early. The entire exercise It was all going on without any taste.
There are fewer and fewer heavyweight guests going to Sky Academy to watch the ceremony.
But as the God of War in Central Continent, Gu Xingyun had to attend any event such as the special warfare system.
Even though his injuries are extremely serious now, he will have to spend most of his life there before the exercise is over.
What did he mean when he called suddenly
Jiang Shan slowly connected the phone.
He had no reason not to answer.
The Jiang family was originally a member of the Prince Group, but in recent years, the Prince Group's intention to get Jiangshan to leave its base in Northern Xinjiang has been very obvious. As the two parties drifted apart, Jiangshan was gradually attracted by the Special Exhibition Group. From this perspective , Gu Xingyun is now the boss behind the Jiang family.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
Jiang Shan answered the phone, and in the blink of an eye, he had a gentle but not flattering smile on his face.
"Brother Jiang, have you heard about what happened in Leji City?"
Gu Xingyun asked.
There are not so many rules within the Special Exhibition Group, and Gu Xingyun's name for Jiangshan seems casual and intimate.
"Leki City?"
Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment. He was not pretending to be stupid, but he really didn't receive any news.
"It just happened not long ago."
Gu Xingyun's voice was solemn and complex.
What happened in Leki City has just passed.
This period of time is short.
But it was enough for the top figures in Central Continent to know the exact news: "Chen Qingluan was killed by Li Tianlan."
"What?!"
Jiang Shan was suddenly startled and said subconsciously: "The Sword Emperor..."
"snort!"
Gu Xingyun snorted coldly: "Wang Tianzong miscalculated for a moment and was manipulated by Li Tianlan. Now that Chen Qingluan has been killed, even Wang Tianzong has been imprisoned by Li Tianlan."
Jiang Shan didn't speak for a long time.
The impact of this news is indeed too powerful.
"I just had a phone call with Wang Qinglei."
Gu Xingyun softened his tone and said.
Jiang Shan agreed haphazardly, his mind suddenly becoming a little confused.
"Beihai Wang Family, it seems that it is difficult for them to make any moves for the time being. Even if they do, they will not act rashly until they contact Wang Tianzong. But the Xuewu Legion cannot be given to Li Tianlan in vain. I think, Chen Qingluan's Position, how about we come out this time?"
Gu Xingyun said: "I have communicated with Wang Qinglei about this matter, and he agrees in principle."
Someone from the Special Exhibition Group
The second-in-command of the Snow Dance Corps
Jiang Shan suddenly felt something was wrong.
"This is good, but..."
"What's the but?"
Gu Xingyun smiled and interrupted Jiang Shan's words: "It is a rare opportunity to control part of the power of the Xuewu Legion. I just weighed it up and found the most suitable candidate."
Jiangshan's heart gradually sank.
Sure enough, Gu Xingyun asked calmly: "I think the rain on the river is good."
