Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

After leaving the Divine Sword Hall, Meng Zhao did not rush back to Yanzhou City, but began to relax and travel around.

The long-term mental stress and the continuous occurrence of major events made him a little tired.

Therefore, he took advantage of this short time to take a wanton trip.

Watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, dance with the giant ferocious beast at the bottom of the lake, transform into a righteous knight, punish evil and promote good, pretend to be a martial arts wizard, throw away a piece of chance and good fortune, and bring a fate-changing destiny to the destined person. Opportunity...

This experience lasted for more than half a month, and Meng Zhao just learned from a stranger in the world that the barbarian from the Arctic Ice Plains, the Tong Lie who defeated the Grand Master Xie Wanzhi, actually issued a challenge to him.

While this was baffling to him, he immediately made the decision to return to the Tan family immediately.

Because if this matter really happened, then Lingwu City would definitely send someone to inform him. Even if Liang Muchiu gained his trust in this matter, he would not dare to make a rash decision.

Of course, because of this, Meng Zhao discovered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity that truly allowed him to lay down his roots in the northern land, and even in the human race, to consolidate his influence and reputation.

Not long after, Meng Zhao returned to the Tan family in Yanzhou City and met Lu Le, whose round face had become much thinner after waiting for a long time.

Although the time apart was not too long, Meng Zhao still felt as if he was a world away, but the short few months since he came to Yanzhou felt like many years had passed.

Of course, all changes are positive and tend to develop in the direction that is beneficial to Meng Zhao. Therefore, Meng Zhao also seemed very happy to see Lu Le. He patted Lu Le hard on the shoulder and said,

"How's it going? Is everything okay at home? Are there any special circumstances?"

When Lu Le saw Meng Zhao, he was also excited, his eyes were red, and he quickly told the information he had learned.

In fact, there is nothing special about it. Meng Zhao already understood part of it through monk Huikong's dictation. At this time, it is just more detailed.

Immediately, the two changed the topic to Tong Lie's challenge to him.

Moreover, Lu Le also explained what he saw and heard in Lingwu City, Liangzhou, Jizhou, and even Yanzhou along the way, as well as various situation changes.

In his telling, Tong Lie caused an uproar in the public opinion after defeating Xie Wanzhi. The entire Chinese martial arts world will know that a barbarian from the polar ice sheet defeated their human race's great master. This is a shame. Of course, it is also a form of oppression.

And when Tong Lie issued a challenge to Meng Zhao, not to mention other places far away, at least in the martial arts world of the northern land, the upper and lower levels of martial arts all shared the same hatred and were extremely eager for Meng Zhao to accept the challenge and act as a man and a brave man. , respond positively to the other party.

Of course, Meng Zhao could also choose to turn a blind eye, pretend to be an ostrich, pay no attention to anything, and ignore it. This was okay, and no one could force him.

But correspondingly, as much as the adulation, adulation, and public momentum Meng Zhao has received in the past, the backlash he will face will be greater.

Meng Zhao could just treat everything as normal and devote himself to practice. With his talent, understanding, strength, and martial arts, he could still become a top powerhouse.

But it has become almost impossible to complete the plan in his heart, to separatize the north and conquer China.

The simple reason is that he has lost the hearts of the people and the military. Without his political foundation, everything is empty talk.

Also, most of the various powerful forces he has established now are actually derived from his reputation as the Dragon King of Northern Meng.

Once this prestige is backfired, the disintegration of various forces will be a matter of course.

Therefore, although everyone in the Meng family in Lingwu City was very worried about Meng Zhao's safety, there was a vague consensus.

As long as Meng Zhao still wants to walk the world as a leader of power, this battle will be inevitable.

Moreover, there are multiple factors at play that push Meng Zhao to the forefront.

First of all, Meng Zhao is one of the top geniuses in China today, alongside Shen Tianci.

When something happens, he should be the first to respond. That is to say, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

In the same situation, you can refer to Shen Tianci, he is the same.

Secondly, the unlucky Tong Lie took the initiative to pick Meng Zhao as his opponent, which pushed the matter to a climax.

Without Tong Lie's initiative, Meng Zhao could of course maintain everything he had now with a cold attitude. However, after Tong Lie tore through Meng Zhao's skin, he was left with only two choices: yes or no.

Third, it is also a very critical point.

Tuntian Daozi killed Li Xiaotian. In fact, there has long been an argument in the folk martial arts that the South is sinking and the Beimeng should take action to maintain the stability of the martial arts.

But neither Meng Zhao nor Shen Tianci took it seriously, so they naturally ignored it.

However, in the eyes of ordinary warriors, their attitude is indifferent, cold-blooded, and even cowardly.

Naturally, this also increased the accumulation of dissatisfaction.

Tong Lie's urging again could be said to add fuel to the fire.

Meng Zhao nodded and asked again,

"In other words, if I don't fight now, I will be a coward. I will be accused by thousands of people and will never be as powerful as I am now?"

Lu Le's round face turned gloomy and he said,

"That's right, young master, and besides, you and Xie Wanzhi are different.

If the young master loses this fight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he will still be the target of public criticism. "On this point, Meng Zhao also saw it quite thoroughly.

Xie Wanzhi, a figure of the older generation who has been submerged in history, can be said to be nameless in today's martial arts world, so naturally he does not have much reputation.

The weight of Grand Master is indeed very heavy, but when you say it, it is just three words: light and airy.

If he loses, the warriors of the human race will not think it is a big deal. This is a kind of psychological contempt that has no reason but exists.

Furthermore, no matter how miserable Xie Wanzhi is, he is still worthy of praise.

He was once a hero in the martial arts world. He assisted the sacred monk of Landa Temple to eliminate the vicious monk Huikong. He contributed to the righteousness of the martial arts world and saved countless innocent people.

It even caused the foundation of his martial arts to be damaged, so he had to travel far away to find treatment methods and magic medicine.

This is a contribution that no one can take away. He is the hero.

It can already be regarded as a saving throw from defeat.

What's more, at that time, Xie Wanzhi took the initiative to invite Tonglie to fight, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, and fought for the entire Chinese martial arts world.

There was no need for him to do this, and it was impossible for Tong Lie to find him in the corner.

Therefore, even if he loses, people cannot blame him.

There is no reason to treat a former human hero who has tried his best.

However, the situation Meng Zhao faced and the public opinion environment he was in were completely different. (End of chapter)
