Chapter 1: The Three Princesses of the Dynasty

"It is too cheap for him to die; I want to torment him alive for three days and three nights before he dies." Luo Qingchen's gritted voice echoed, sending a chill down the spines of all the Tang family members. Soon, with the sound of slaps ringing out, Tang Chun became a living bloodied figure.

With a glance ahead, Tang Chun was startled. He discovered a massive carved bed positioned in front of him, approximately three meters wide. It resembled the kind of dragon and phoenix bed used by the concubines of the Qing Dynasty.

Only by biting through the bones and sucking them dry can one meet their demise. Moreover, it is essential for this dog-like creature to witness its own stark white bones. This was stated by Tian Juhua, the wet nurse accompanying the Third Princess.

The sword-bearing guards are the elite among the Purple Robe Guards. These individuals are quite similar to the formidable, cold-blooded bodyguards in black suits found in the Huaxia nation. The Purple Robe Guards can be likened to the modern Huaxia Dragon Team, a special forces unit.

According to astronomers, it was a tailing comet that collided with the Earth. However, I suddenly felt a darkness before my eyes, as that fiery line in the sky bizarrely traced a brilliant arc directly towards me

The sound of clapping or applause

Indeed, I found the bed sheets in complete disarray, as if they had just been through a war. Sitting on the bed sheets is none other than my future beautiful and ethereal wife, Princess Luo Qingchen, who is gritting her teeth in anger.

Tang Chun, I see that your mind is muddled. A fifth-rank general possesses immense prestige, and without skills at around the eighth level, one cannot even hope to attain such a position. Moreover, one must have remarkable military achievements. As for you, if you were to go to the battlefield, you would be finished in no time, and that would bring shame to our Great Yu Dynasty

As long as the flesh is not completely torn away in a day, we will use some special methods to protect his heart until the flesh is entirely devoured by the vicious dogs

Above the Qi Gang realm is the Qi Tong realm, which illustrates the terrifying nature of the Qi Tong realm

Certainly, the Dayu Dynasty was also vast and terrifying in its expanse. Its territory was nearly as large as that of about twenty American states.

Works such as the "Three Character Classic," "Historical Studies," and "The Art of War" were strictly monitored by the hard-nosed individuals for twenty-four hours as Tang Chun repeatedly recited them. Unfortunately, Tang Chun was simply not cut out for studying. After several days of effort that nearly drove his father to the brink of death, he managed to memorize a few nonsensical articles.

This is a matter that concerns one's happiness for a lifetime, so Princess Luo Qingchen, accompanied by the palace entourage, came down to assess Tang Chun's abilities in person

Any horse groom from the Tang family possesses at least a second-tier skill level. Thus, the title of 'Tiger Father, Dog Son' has honorably been bestowed upon the Tang father and son. The minimum standard for military recruitment by the imperial court is the early stage of the second tier. Consequently, this 'terrible' news reached the ears of Luo Qingchen, the fiancée of the future husband who would share the same bed. Naturally, upon hearing about her future husband's character, Luo Qingchen felt quite disheartened.

Moreover, the entire body was left in a disheveled state, a sight too horrific to bear. It was covered with tiny beads of blood, resembling a multitude of minuscule red lanterns hanging all over the body

If the princess does not dare to gamble, then please act immediately. I know the princess does not want to marry me. Therefore, she seeks to eliminate me in advance. If she lacks even this bit of courage, she is unworthy of being the third princess of our Great Yu Dynasty.

Using this method is no better than throwing the offender into a pack of starving dogs for them to tear apart.

At this moment, the woman sitting on the bed with a frosty expression is indeed a genuine princess, the third princess of the Dayu Dynasty, named Luo Qingchen

At this moment, two strong middle-aged men dressed in purple entered. One of them was holding a silver tray, on which lay a gleaming and sharp dagger.

Tang Chunxiao understood that these two individuals were the so-called royal bodyguards of the Purple-clad Guards in the palace. These individuals are all experts, as one must at least reach around level 10 to qualify for selection.

The Qi Gang realm transforms Qi into Gang, allowing the internal Qi to materialize. It can support over 100,000 pounds of force and can strike several hundred meters with a mere wave of the hand. It can kill from a distance. Because the internal Qi has materialized, the Qi in the Dantian has completely liquefied.

Lacking high-level martial arts skills means that following him will result in becoming a laughingstock of the Great Yu Dynasty, subsequently facing ridicule from brothers and sisters, and ultimately losing the esteemed status and position one should possess

These individuals provide close protection to the most central members of the royal family, and within the palace, there is a specialized organization dedicated to handling significant matters of the martial world known as the Purple Robe Guard

Hahaha ... ...

"Suck, suck, suck..." the woman shouted

Because the Dayu Dynasty also had civil officials, however, Tang Chunwu surprisingly did not perform well in the literary field. To this day, he has not even passed the examination to become a student.

What is meant by 'Qi Communication Realm'? It refers to the ability to connect the spirit through Qi. With the flow of Qi, one can glide over a distance of seven to eight thousand meters in a single breath. A single strike can destroy giant trees with a trunk as thick as a dozen people can embrace, and one can use controlled Qi to wield a sword to kill from several hundred meters away

However, there is no evidence to present, and now I am being subjected to the punishment of the third princess on the spot. The fate that awaits me is something I dare not even imagine. After Tang Chun reviewed the memories of this Tang Chun from the Great Yu Kingdom, his gaze swept over the large bed.

A flash of the whip appeared before him, and another deep lash mark, reaching to the bone, appeared on Tang Chun's body. Naturally, there was also a terrifying, deep gash of blood. Tang Chun glanced at himself and realized that he was completely naked at that moment

Tang Chun was frail since childhood. In a country where martial prowess is highly esteemed, lacking martial skills is indeed a tragedy. Now at the age of sixteen, Tang Chun has only reached the initial stage of the second rank.

Father Tang Xin was also a prominent figure in the Dayu Dynasty. At the age of three, King Luo Teng of the Yu Dynasty betrothed his daughter Luo Qingchen to Tang Chun, thus establishing a childhood engagement.

The martial arts realms in this world are ranked from low to high, beginning with an introductory stage. The innate realm is divided into twelve tiers. The innate stage represents a significant threshold. Among the thousands of martial artists who diligently practice, only one can break through to the innate realm.

"Princess, I will gradually implement castration, severing this young man's inherent flaws, ensuring that even in the next life he cannot pass on his lineage." A strong middle-aged man bent slightly, and with a flash of cold light, a dagger was drawn through the air, spinning towards Tang Chun's groin.

Because the Dayu Dynasty prioritized martial prowess. If the Duke of the Attaché cannot possess exceptional skills, it would mean he cannot contribute to the nation in battles across the four corners. If your martial arts are lacking but your literary talent is outstanding, that would still be acceptable

Damn it, how could you come up with such a terrible idea? Tang Chun cursed inwardly, gritting his teeth.

This individual can lift tens of thousands of pounds and can kill a person or shatter stones from a hundred meters away with their energy. This is a manifestation of the internal energy reaching a semi-liquid state in the dantian. The innate energy is also divided into four stages: early, middle, late, and even great perfection. After that, one can seek ways to break through to the qi gang stage

The words of the tribute scholar are essentially equivalent to stepping onto the threshold of the government office. Above that are the provincial scholars, a rare selection among thousands. Only after that comes the official scholars. Once one passes the examination for official scholars, they can enter the court to serve as officials. Of course, there are many intricacies involved, which I will not delve into for now

The vile one has offended the sacred body of the princess; I beseech the princess to behead this vile one with this sword at this very place. Tang Xin will request my king to strip him of his position and reduce his salary. However, I hope the princess will consider Tang Xin's unwavering loyalty to our dynasty and spare the other members of the Tang family. The vile one deserves to die a thousand deaths..." Tang Xin cried out, his heart bleeding.

However, at this moment, the master of this attire was as cold as ice. Moreover, her eyes were unexpectedly filled with extreme anger, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth.

A robust man beside him swung the whip, which had been soaked in brine and mixed with chili water, and struck it down fiercely onto Tang Chun.

However, although Tang Chun is not particularly remarkable in either literature or martial arts, this fellow actually had the audacity to secretly slip an aphrodisiac into the bowl of the Third Princess during the grand banquet hosted by Tang Xin. Subsequently, in a fit of passion, he nearly 'executed' Luo Qingchen on the grand bed.

I am clearly in a siheyuan in Yanjing City, Huaxia Country, admiring the strange red line that streaks across the sky

The Tang family members outside the door all heard it, and each felt a chill in their hearts. Some of the more timid individuals had even soiled their pants, the stench unbearable, yet they remained oblivious to it

With your current weak physique at the second rank, you think you can attain the position of a fifth-grade general? That's just nonsense

The minimum requirement for the civil examination is to be a "tongsheng" (a student who has passed the preliminary examination), which is a selection of one out of a hundred. Only by becoming a "tongsheng" can one proceed to the next step of becoming a "gongsheng" (a student who has passed the provincial examination), which is a selection of one out of a thousand. A "gongsheng" holds a certain status, while a "tongsheng" can only be said to have obtained a ticket to become a civil official.

How can one just laugh without daring to gamble?" Tang Chun snorted coldly, realizing that at this moment, one must exert great effort to provoke the Third Princess in order to preserve one's own life.

"Princess, it is too lenient to simply kill this rebel. It would be better to subject him to castration and hang him in the palace, allowing the vile birds to peck at him. Moreover, it should not be done all at once; rather, let them slowly peck away at his flesh, tendons, and blood vessels, ultimately reaching the essence of his brain." This was the grand suggestion made by the eunuch Liangman, who accompanied the Third Princess.

The paper cannot contain the fire; after the evil deed occurred, Tang Xin came to apologize with a head bowed in shame, currently kneeling outside the door with all the core members of the Tang family. Yet, Tang Xin holds high above his head the earth-grade supreme sword bestowed by Emperor Yu.

"Protecting the heart, this method is quite good," Luo Qingchen said, biting her lip and nodding.

Father Tang Xin is unexpectedly the Marquis of Nandu, having fought for many years at the border. Moreover, this country seems to be called the Dayu Dynasty, and the vast Langzhou Prefecture is the fiefdom of my father, Tang Xin. Although it is merely a prefecture, in the Dayu Dynasty, a prefecture is equivalent to the scope of a large prefecture-level city

What kind of realm is this, meaning the ability to kick apart two large blue bricks stacked on top of each other. This level is considered the lowest among the warriors of the Dayu Dynasty

Tang Chun's words naturally elicited laughter from the entire hall, while Tang Xin, kneeling by the door, furrowed his brows.

The Kaoshan Sect can undoubtedly rank among the top 10 among the hundreds of sects in the Dayu Dynasty. It is said that there are several thousand disciples under its banner, and the Grand Elder Tie Fei is rumored to have reached the 'Qi Tong Realm' in strength

What else do you have to say?" The Third Princess, Luo Qingchen, coldly glanced at Tang Chun and asked

However, m.hetushu.com, Tang Chun also understood. How could he dare to poison someone? It must be that someone was secretly plotting behind his back; he was the victim—wronged to death.

It is said that the Third Princess is inclined to refuse this marriage proposal. However, since King Yu, Luo Teng, did not immediately agree, the Third Princess intends to gather some evidence to persuade her father to annul this disgraceful union. Upon hearing that the princess was coming, her father, Tang Xin, repeatedly instructed Tang Chun to be ready at all times.

Wait!" Tang Chun suddenly waved his hand and shouted. Of course, with a loud slap, he naturally received a blow from the stern-faced, chubby, sword-bearing guard, causing his face to swell immediately.

At this moment, sitting on the bed is a stunning young woman dressed entirely in white, with her hair styled in a princess bun. Her eyebrows resemble the bright crescent moon in the sky, making her extraordinarily beautiful. This attire is strikingly similar to that of a proud and imperious princess from the royal palace

Of course, Tang Chun understood that this was merely a means for the royal family to consolidate their father's influence. Such phenomena are quite common in the Dayu Dynasty, especially since there are many princesses in the Dayu Dynasty.

Bang ... ...

As the Third Rank Lord of the Great Yu Dynasty in the Tang Xintang Hall, having a son who has only reached the initial stage of the second level is truly a disgrace

"Give me three years, and I, Tang Chun, will go to the battlefield to achieve merit for the country. If I cannot return within three years with the title of a fifth-rank general, then you may dispose of me as you wish." Tang Chun exclaimed, naturally employing the tactic of provocation.

As waves of intense pain surged once more, Tang Chun quickly reviewed the situation in his mind and finally began to see some clarity. It turned out that he seemed to have struck a stroke of luck, having been resurrected in the body of a wealthy nobleman also named Tang Chun.

The speed was beyond description; it felt as if everything went dark before I woke up to find myself being whipped.

A piercing pain shot through, and Tang Chun awoke

The laughter of Luo Qingchen echoed through the beams of the house, soaring straight into the heavens. This is because Luo Qingchen is said to hail from the 'Kao Shan Sect' of the Great Yu Dynasty

The body of a congenital realm martial artist, after undergoing a thorough cleansing and integration, is entirely different from that of an ordinary person, akin to that of a newborn baby
