After carefully reading the evaluations of the two men, he shook his head and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A martial genius born once every five hundred years, worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Zu of old. Given time, he will surely reach the pinnacle of martial arts… Hah! Someone’s stirring up trouble—this is clearly meant to pit Old Wang against me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since ancient times, scholars have no first, warriors have no second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simpler terms, no martial artist is willing to let someone stronger tower over him, flaunting his superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is such a person, you must grow stronger, find a way to knock him off your head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the martial cultivator—crude yet direct, valuing strength and reputation above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Wang Xianzhi: as the supreme martial artist of the world, though he never cared for fame, his pursuit of power was purer than anyone else’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it that even when he was unknown, he challenged Li Chungang, the then-world’s greatest, the Sword God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He challenged him seven times over seven years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first six challenges ended in crushing defeats, becoming jokes among martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Wang Xianzhi did not lose heart; instead, he summarized his failures, refined his martial path, and grew stronger with each passing day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the seventh challenge, Li Chungang could no longer defeat him—and out of respect for his talent, refused to use his killing technique, “Sword Splits Tianmen.” Thus, Wang Xianzhi snapped Li Chungang’s divine sword, Muma Niu, with just two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that battle, Wang Xianzhi became famous throughout the martial world and emerged as the new pillar of martial arts. Yet later, upon realizing Li Chungang’s true intentions, Wang Xianzhi always called himself “Second Under Heaven” while guarding Wudicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, out of gratitude for Li Chungang’s mercy—he believed Li was truly the First Under Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he hoped a stronger warrior would rise to challenge him, granting him a glorious, unrestrained battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome? Either the challenger would step over him—the “Second Under Heaven”—to become the true First, or die beneath his fists, becoming a stepping stone for his further ascent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wu Xian could easily imagine how wildly excited Wang Xianzhi would feel upon seeing this martial ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he wouldn’t even need to go to the Eastern Sea’s Wudicheng—the old monster would come knocking himself, issuing a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that happened, it would play right into the hands of those scheming behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One mountain cannot hold two tigers, unless one is male and one female—but on the path to the martial pinnacle, even male and female cannot coexist; only fists and strength decide who stands atop the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such duels between masters almost always decide not only superiority, but also life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the victor risks grave injury—and if ambushes are laid in wait, even the First Under Heaven could perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crude, blatant scheme—but devastatingly effective, especially against proud martial artists. It works every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Xian thought this, a flicker of mockery passed through his eyes—but more than that, fierce battle-lust burned within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Under Heaven? Tied for second? Come on—I’ve had my divine gift for six years now. Am I supposed to take this insult?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect. I’ve rested for half a month—it’s time to stretch my limbs. I’ll start with those hoping to reap the benefits of others’ strife, then go find Old Wang and take the title of First Under Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Wu Xian turned to Xuan Yuan Jingcheng, who stood respectfully beside him, and asked casually: “I asked you to investigate the front-line war—what’s the latest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, according to gathered intelligence, Xu Xiao has broken through the Chu defenses, seized Feizi Fen, and now stands opposed to the Military Saint Ye Baikui at Xileibi, with battle imminent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Xuan Yuan Jingcheng paused slightly, a complex expression crossing his usually calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the world knew that once Chu fell, the Liyang Dynasty could restore the glory of the ancient Qin Empire and unify the land—and the man who planted the Liyang banner atop Chu’s capital would be etched in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since the Liyang Emperor had issued a proclamation: whoever destroyed Chu would be granted the title of non-imperial prince—further stoking the hidden currents of this war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? It’s already come to this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian was surprised, but not by the war’s details—he already knew the plot. He knew that unless something unexpected occurred, Xu Xiao would win this battle and soon become the mighty Beiliang Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly concerned him was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, the “White Robe Incident” targeting Wu Su in the original story occurred just as Chu was on the verge of collapse—so it should be very near now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting. I’ve arrived just in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s eyes smiled as he rose and said to Xuan Yuan Jingcheng: “I’m going out. During this time, focus on your studies and strive to break through to the top rank before I return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If your fortune is insufficient, go to the Youjian Teahouse in Jincheng and find an old man surnamed Zhao—he will help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Jingcheng froze, then bowed deeply. After a moment’s thought, he ventured cautiously: “May I ask, Young Master, where are you going? Do you need preparations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for formality. I’m just visiting a distant relative I don’t know well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian spoke with a radiant smile—but Xuan Yuan Jingcheng felt a sudden chill in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew: this man was about to stir up something enormous again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyang capital, Tai’an City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the night, a secret report from the Jingwei Office was delivered to Emperor Zhao Li’s chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Su has a son. True Martial Incarnate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Li finished reading the eight characters in silence, then bolted upright from his bed, cold sweat drenching his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiao had already shattered the Western Chu defenses. With his ability, even with the Military Saint opposing him, victory was merely a matter of time. When he returned to Liyang, he would receive the title of non-imperial prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Li did not care. He had always admired Xu Xiao, regarded him as a nephew or younger cousin, and knew Xu Xiao would never rebel—so he could tolerate a world-famous non-imperial prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this all hinged on one crucial condition: Xu Xiao had no heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, according to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s divination, the child was likely the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend held that the True Martial Emperor was none other than the First Emperor who once unified the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had founded the Qin Dynasty under the Water Virtue—while Liyang had unified the world under the Fire Virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water overcomes Fire. Was this not an omen of great upheaval?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhao Li looked down at the secret report, and in his mind rose the image of Xu Xiao leading his thirty-thousand iron cavalry to breach the Liyang capital…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring me ink and paper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Emperor’s call, the eunuch entered the chamber, swiftly took a blank edict from the table, and picked up his brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single night, four edicts were issued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four edicts bore only seven characters:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summon Xu Xiao to the capital immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-20T19:56:28.727Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","971ed6770e970ef4b1a452274132d1d153b01596f802ee5d68c8f2e2c2c43f56","simultaneous-transmigration-starting-from-the-re-chapter-182","simultaneous-transmigration-starting-from-the-re-chapter-180",339,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneous-transmigration-starting-from-the-re-cover.jpg"]
