[You have accomplished an incredible feat.]
[You conquered an entire state, becoming the nominal ruler of Xuanqi State.]
[The people who follow you cheer.]
[The girl is happy for you.]
[But you simply smile and don’t let it go to your head.]
[For you, the biggest change is the shift in your office location—from Pingshui County to the capital of Xuanqi Prefecture.]
[Your feat of seizing an entire state has turned Daqian’s thirteen states into twelve.]
[The civil and military officials in the imperial capital are both shocked and outraged, while rebels in other states are dumbfounded. Your na spreads throughout Daqian and beyond.]
[Whether they are high-ranking officials or people as lowly as mud, everyone knows your na now.]
[You understand that the survival army alone cannot defeat Daqian, so you spread the ‘Martial Arts That Even a Fool Can Practice’ across the land, ensuring it reaches every corner of Daqian.]
…
[In the eleventh year of simulation, you are 26 years old, and Wu Yingxue is 20 years old.]
[Your plan works. The widespread spread of the fool’s skill causes unprecedented resistance across Daqian.]
[Faced with internal rebellions in multiple regions, the Daqian emperor prioritizes suppressing internal turmoil over attacking Xuanqi State at the border.]
[This gives you and the survival army precious ti to grow stronger.]
“Sir, what’s our next move?”
“Keep fighting. The spark has been lit, and now it’s ti for a prairie fire.”
“A prairie fire? I like that!”
No hesitation is needed.
No further thought is required.
The survival army had no path of retreat. Even soone as reckless as Wu Yingxue understood this truth. Resting for even a mont could spell disaster for everyone.
The people who follow you have made their choice: either die in silence or roar in defiance.
…
[After the autumn harvest, you lead your growing survival army into Jiangdao Prefecture, a region rich in waterways.]
[The advantages of the ‘Martial Arts That Even a Fool Can Practice’ continue to shine.]
[No need for intensive practice. No need for exceptional talent.]
[Though the Qihuosheng Army is still dismissed as “unrefined” by Daqian’s officials, these so-called hungry refugees have beco warriors in their own right. The fire in their eyes burns fiercely.]
[They no longer pray for salvation but fight to survive—not just for themselves but for others.]
[As the survival army advances deeper into Jiangdao Prefecture, your na spreads further.]
[The emperor and officials of Daqian fail to understand your audacity. Conquering one state wasn’t enough; now you target the wealthier Jiangdao Prefecture.]
“It must be for power!”
“It must be for riches!”
“His ambition knows no bounds—he seeks the throne!”
In the imperial court, the civil and military officials curse and bicker.
Despite their outrage, none advocate for an imdiate counterattack.
The survival army was too far away, deep in Xuanqi Prefecture. anwhile, rebellions were breaking out closer to the imperial capital.
Daqian’s twelve states remain in chaos.
“Let’s crush the closer rebels first. There’s still ti to deal with Xu Xi later.”
This is the prevailing thought among the officials.
…
[In the twelfth year of simulation, you are 27 years old, and Wu Yingxue is 21 years old.]
[The survival army progresses steadily, breaking through the defenses of Jiangdao Prefecture one pass at a ti until you capture the prefectural capital.]
[After the decisive battle, a heavy rain falls.]
[The torrential rain pours relentlessly, as though heaven itself is raging.]
Raindrops batter the earth, bursting into small explosions of water on contact, while a fierce wind howls in accompanint.
Wu Yingxue collapses onto the soaked ground, rainwater dripping from her drenched clothes.
Xu Xi pulled her to her feet, shielding her from the rain with his Qi.
“Sir, it’s raining so hard.”
The girl clinged to Xu Xi’s back, arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes fixed on the relentless rain beyond the shield.
“Sir, I’m so tired…”
The pounding rain proves too soothing, lulling her into a deep sleep before Xu Xi can reply.
Her head rests gently on his shoulder, her soft snores mingling with the sound of the storm.
“Thank you for your hard work,” Xu Xi murmured in the downpour, his voice barely audible.
The survival army lacked many innate realm warriors.
Wu Yingxue’s constant efforts—fighting tirelessly in every battle—never go unnoticed by Xu Xi. He had often seen her grit her teeth and endure exhaustion to press on.
…
[In the 13th year of simulation, you are 28 years old, and Wu Yingxue is 22 years old.]
[The survival army has expanded its reach from Xuanqi Prefecture to Jiangdao Prefecture.]
[The interconnected waterways of Jiangdao accelerate the spread of ‘Martial Arts That Even a Fool Can Practice’ across Daqian.]
[The technique, now widespread, transforms into a roaring wave of resistance that even you find daunting.]
[In the sa year, Wu Yingxue made a breakthrough into the 2nd stage innate realm.]
[The technique you created for her proves to be exceptionally effective, and under your guidance, she quickly masters her inner world of Qi and blood.]
[It is a world of flas—violent yet full of life.]
[Good news continues. Two months after Wu Yingxue’s breakthrough, A Niu also advances to the innate realm.]
“Congratulations, A Niu,” you say with a laugh.
The honest man grins, scratching his head shyly. “I just want to help you, Brother Xu.”
…
[In the 14th year of simulation, you are 29 years old, and Wu Yingxue is 23 years old.]
[You make a breakthrough into the 3rd stage innate realm, ascending to beco a divine warrior.]
[The order of Daqian seems to be crumbling completely.]
[You lead the survival army to capture two more states, vastly expanding your territory.]
[Despite your growing power, the immortal said to have killed King Dingyuan has yet to appear. The emperor of Daqian remains strangely passive, taking no direct action against you.]
[You sense sothing strange—a feeling that the emperor is deliberately allowing you to expand, as though your conquest of Daqian doesn’t concern him.]
