Martial God Physique

Life Blind Box Choice began.

Choice one: Kneel and apologize to Xiao Zhentian, humbly accept all his rebukes, and gain the chance to continue eking out a wretched existence in Zhenbei King Manor. With the Zhenbei King's protection, the host would at least have a place to settle down and survive in this chaotic age.

"Fuck, this counts as a choice?"

Xiao Chen's mouth twitched.

What was the difference between choosing this and being a dog?

Choice two: Immediately sever blood ties with Xiao Zhentian's family, who did not treat the host as a human being. Reclaim a man's dignity, leave Zhenbei King Manor, and begin a journey of survival in this chaotic age where human lives were cheaper than grass. Only such a choice would live up to a man's true colors and unyielding iron bones. However, there was a chance of being slaughtered by the Demon Race and dying without a burial place.

Life was filled with surprises at every turn. Host, please choose carefully. Different choices would yield rewards as far apart as heaven and earth.

This choice's prize pool: one Dog Whip, ten Primary Qi Blood Pills, one Martial God Physique, and one Dog Tail Grass.

Reward descriptions.

Prize one, Dog Whip: An item that strengthened the body and improved health. If a man ate it, then once night fell, he would be as fierce as a tiger.

Prize two, Primary Qi Blood Pill: Consuming one could increase Qi and blood by ten points. It was an indispensable miraculous pill for martial artists' cultivation. One pill cost ten taels of silver, and ten pills were worth one hundred taels.

Prize three: A supreme martial God Physique that shook the ages and stood unmatched throughout antiquity. So long as its owner did not forcibly court death, shattering the void and defying the heavens to become a god would be as easy as turning one's hand over. With the Martial God Physique, even the stars, rivers, sun, and moon could be crushed in one's grasp.

Prize four, Dog Tail Grass: An utterly ordinary decorative item.

Looking at the golden virtual panel before him,

Xiao Chen was completely dumbfounded.

Dog Whip?

Dog Tail Grass?

The fucking system was actually using this kind of thing as rewards?

Fuck its Old Master!

This system's heart was truly filthy!

What difference was there between this and the card-drawing games he had played in his previous life, stuffing trash into the card pool?

As for the Qi Blood Pills,

they already counted as fairly decent rewards.

After all, they offered martial artists a genuine increase in strength.

But while a total value of one hundred taels was an enormous fortune to ordinary people, to Zhenbei King Manor, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

The only truly good thing was the Martial God Physique.

That was a genuine top-tier reward.

He just did not know whether the Martial God Physique could restore his shattered dantian.

Host need not worry. The Martial God Physique could remake one from the marrow onward. If the host obtained the Martial God Physique, the host's dantian would naturally be restored.

As if it had heard Xiao Chen's thoughts, the system's voice rang out automatically.

Hearing this,

Xiao Chen immediately became excited.

The Martial God Physique could restore his dantian?

Did that not mean he could recover the peerless, invincible talent he had possessed in the past?

If so,

with the world so vast, where could he not go?

In truth, Xiao Chen's understanding was inaccurate.

Though the Explosive King Physique was awesome, before the Martial God Physique, it was as light as dust and not worth mentioning.

"System, can't you give me a hint? If I take off, it'll reflect well on you too!"

Xiao Chen said to the system.

There are no hints. Everything depends on your heart. A friendly reminder to the host: Choose wrongly, and you may die.

Hearing the system's words,

Xiao Chen looked at the golden virtual panel before him and fell into hesitation.

The first choice was nothing more than kneeling on the ground, becoming Xiao Zhentian's dog, and living without any dignity in exchange for safety.

If he did not have the system, then although this choice would be humiliating, he would still have no choice but to make it.

After all, with the Demon Race running rampant now, without Zhenbei King Manor's protection, he would probably be torn apart by the Demon Race only days after stepping outside.

But now he had the system.

He no longer wanted to live his entire life so stifled and miserable.

A true man

should ride amid clashing steel and charging horses, his might shaking the four seas.

The second choice

truly suited his heart.

But if he failed to obtain the Martial God Physique,

he could easily die an untimely death.

Thinking of this,

he began considering the connection between these rewards and the choices.

Suddenly, he recalled a television drama he had watched in his previous life.

When a great general avoided battle against invaders,

his subordinates had all given him Dog Treasure.

It was meant to mock him for being too limp and needing a little strengthening.

Could the system's rewards also conceal such hidden mysteries?

If his guess was correct, then if he chose to kneel and admit fault,

the corresponding rewards should be the Dog Whip and Dog Tail Grass.

The Dog Whip meant he was too cowardly.

The Dog Tail Grass meant he wagged his tail and begged for pity, utterly without backbone.

He pondered for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. He directly answered in his heart, "I choose two!"

Ding...

Congratulations, host! Choice successful. The host chose to sever blood ties with Xiao Zhentian's family, who did not treat him as a human being. This showed that the host possessed unyielding iron bones. The Dog Whip and Dog Tail Grass were not fated to be with the host.

Wandering outside alone, the host urgently needed to increase his strength. Therefore, the host's reward would be selected between the Qi Blood Pills and the Martial God Physique.

The host's final reward is... the Martial God Physique.

The system's voice was like heavenly music

as it rang beside Xiao Chen's ears.

On the virtual panel before him,

an image suddenly emerged.

In a boundless, resplendent starry sky, the phantom of a god whose appearance could not be seen strolled through the void.

With every step he took,

the void cracked apart.

Stars were annihilated.

Even the great Dao of heaven and earth could not withstand a wisp of aura leaking from his body and began to crumble and collapse.

Though separated by endless time and space,

Xiao Chen could still easily feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that god.

Yet dense black deathly aura, thick as water, coiled around his body. Clearly, he was about to die.

Suddenly, the god turned back and glanced at Xiao Chen. Golden light blazed in his eyes, and the endless void shattered inch by inch. Then he slightly opened his mouth and released the divine voice of the great Dao. "Little brother, you have finally come. I have waited for you ten thousand years! Today, I bestow upon you the Martial God Heart. I hope you can suppress the next eternal age and not let the Martial God Physique's illustrious name fall!"

In one era, there could only be one Martial God Physique.

Only after the previous one died could the next inherit it.

There was no helping it. This physique was too heaven-defying; a second one was not permitted to exist in the same era.

The next moment,

a purple heart shot from the god's chest, crossed endless void, and entered Xiao Chen's chest.

An incomparably terrifying power instantly swept through Xiao Chen's body.

Then,

the vision vanished.

Just as Xiao Chen felt that his body was about to explode, a mysterious force swiftly suppressed the Martial God Heart within him.

Martial God Physique transfer complete. It has been detected that the host is currently unsuitable for activation. The system will temporarily freeze it for the host. The host may choose a time to activate it later.

The system's voice rang out.

And everything that had just happened, apart from Xiao Chen,

was completely invisible to everyone else.

Seeing Xiao Chen standing there foolishly, Xiao Zhentian immediately flew into a rage. "You bastard, you still refuse to kneel? Are you trying to defy your father? I sentence you to kneel here for three days and three nights! No one is allowed to bring him food!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately drew back his thoughts. Forcefully suppressing his joy at obtaining the Martial God Physique, he raised his head and looked toward Xiao Zhentian, seated high in the center.

There was now a little more edge and sharpness in his eyes.

He had merely arrived a little late.

Yet Xiao Zhentian actually treated him like this?

From the look of it, Xiao Zhentian could not wait for him to die, could he?

And Wen Wanrong and Xiao Lingtian.

If he had not blocked that palm strike for Xiao Lingtian back then, Xiao Lingtian would have died long ago.

He would not have been reduced to a cripple either.

Yet this family not only felt no gratitude toward him, but after he became crippled, they had instead kicked him while he was down and treated him like a pig or dog?

Were these fucking relatives?

Had they not considered

who he had shattered his dantian for?

"Heh, Xiao Zhentian, I was only late for a moment, and that counts as defying my father? You really know how to pin a label on someone!"

With a cold laugh, Xiao Chen met Xiao Zhentian's eyes and said frostily, "You simply despise me for having a shattered dantian and disgracing you, the Zhenbei King. Why bother being so hypocritical?"

"But do not forget: I was once the peerless Born King Physique. If I had not saved Xiao Lingtian's life, would it be your turn, you two, to swagger arrogantly before me?"

"You two merely have Heaven Tier aptitudes. You are not even worthy to carry my shoes!"

The moment those words came out,

everyone was horrified beyond measure.

The surrounding servants trembled all over and looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief.

This Young Master Xiao, who had always been self-abasing and cowardly and revered his father like a god, was actually revealing such sharp brilliance today?

He dared speak such treasonous words to the Zhenbei King?

One had to know,

the person seated before him was the Zhenbei King, whose might shook the world!

How many people dared speak to the Zhenbei King in such a manner?

Wen Wanrong and Xiao Lingtian were dumbfounded as well.

Their eyes were wider than bronze bells.

And Xiao Zhentian's face was filled with astonishment!

Xiao Zhentian had not expected this useless son of his to dare talk back to him.

Did this useless wretch not know who had protected him all these years?

Without him, Xiao Zhentian, this rebellious son would have long died at the hands of the Demon Race.

As for the Born King Physique!

That was ancient history from who knew how many years ago!

Who would care about it now?

"You rebellious son, you have quite the nerve! You actually dare speak to your father like that? Today, I will break both your legs!"

Xiao Zhentian roared furiously.

A terrifying aura swept out from his body.

The surrounding servants felt chills rise from the bottoms of their hearts. Cold sweat streamed down their backs, and they could not help but kneel.

The Zhenbei King was simply too terrifying.

Once his fury erupted,

who could stop him?

This time, Xiao Chen, that useless cripple, was dead for sure!
