The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Wutong City, a city of ancient yet vibrant energy, stood tall and proud during the Dawu Dynasty. Its walls, built of solid bluestone, stood tall and unshaken despite the ravages of time. At the gates, guards in gleaming armor, spears in hand, majestically guarded the entrance.

The streets of Wutong City were spacious and tidy, their bluestone-paved pavement bustling with pedestrians. The shops along the streets were overflowing with goods, stocking a wide variety of goods. The taverns hummed with the sounds of merchants and travelers exchanging the latest news. And in the heart of the city, the magnificent Xu family mansion stood out.

The Xu family is a prominent and wealthy clan in Wutong City, with businesses spanning the city, encompassing commerce, agriculture, and other sectors. The gates of their mansion are made of heavy mahogany, intricately carved with patterns, highlighting the family's honor and status. Entering the mansion, the courtyard is shaded by lush trees, flowers, and plants, and a gurgling fountain, like a beautiful painting.

In a spacious room of this mansion, a young man sat quietly by the window. He was Xu Tiancai. Fifteen years old, Xu Tiancai was handsome, his eyes revealing intelligence and determination. His hair was jet-black, neatly tied in a simple bun. He gazed out the window at the world outside, his heart filled with longing for the future.

Xu Tiancai grew up in a wealthy family, but he didn't become arrogant or overbearing. Instead, he was diligent and studious, filled with curiosity about everything around him. Growing up, he heard countless legends and stories about otherworldly continents. Those mysterious magicians, powerful warriors, wondrous alchemists, and awe-inspiring animal tamers captivated him.

However, in a world where martial arts are respected, Xu Tiancai ultimately chose to embark on the path of becoming a powerful warrior. This was not a momentary impulse, but a carefully considered decision. He knew that in this world full of dangers and challenges, only by possessing great strength could he protect himself and his family and realize his dreams.

To achieve his goal, Xu Tiancai began arduous training. Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone across the earth, he would rise and head to the family's training ground. The training ground was spacious and open, paved with hard stone slabs and surrounded by various training equipment.

Xu Tiancai, dressed in a light training suit and a black belt, appeared energetic. He began with a physical training session, including running, push-ups, and sit-ups. His movements were precise and powerful, each imbued with strength. Sweat streamed down his cheeks, but he remained unfazed, focusing on his training.

Running is one of Xu Tiancai's daily training routines. He sprints around the training ground, his strides steady and powerful. As time passes, his pace increases, and his breathing becomes more rapid. But he doesn't stop; he perseveres. He knows that only by constantly challenging himself can he improve his physical fitness.

Push-ups and sit-ups are also key exercises in Xu Tiancai's training. He places his hands on the ground, keeping his body straight, then slowly bends his arms, lowering his body to the ground before pushing himself up. Each movement is imbued with power, his muscles constantly contracting and relaxing. For sit-ups, he lies on the ground with his legs bent, his hands clasped over his head, and then lifts his upper body with force, fully exercising his abdominal muscles.

After completing his physical training, Xu Tiancai began his weapons training. His weapon of choice was the longsword, a common and practical weapon. He stood in the center of the training ground, sword in hand, his gaze focused and determined. He began by practicing basic sword techniques, including thrusts, slashes, cuts, and thrusts. His movements were smooth and natural, each imbued with power and speed.

The thrust is one of the most fundamental swordsmanship moves. Xu Tiancai, holding his longsword, leaned slightly forward and thrust forward with force. His movements were swift and precise, the tip of his sword piercing its target like lightning. For the chop, he raised his sword high and slashed downward with force, as if to cleave everything in front of him. Both the chop and the thrust were equally spectacular, each movement imbued with power and skill.

While practicing swordsmanship, Xu Tiancai also focused on integrating it with actual combat. He would set up mannequins as targets and practice attack and defense. His movements were agile and flexible, allowing him to react quickly, dodge enemy attacks, and deliver fatal blows.

In addition to physical training and weapons training, Xu Tiancai also focused on cultivating his inner strength. In this alien world, inner strength is a powerful source of strength for warriors. Xu Tiancai uses meditation and breathing exercises to improve his inner strength. He sits in a corner of the training ground, closes his eyes, regulates his breathing, and allows his body and mind to enter a state of calm. Then, he begins to guide the inner strength to flow through his body, feeling its powerful force.

The cultivation of internal strength is a long and arduous process that requires sufficient patience and perseverance. Xu Tiancai spends a lot of time every day practicing internal strength. He knows that only with strong internal strength can he exert greater strength in battle.

During his training, Xu Tiancai encountered many difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, he would be injured from overtraining, but he did not give up. He would seek treatment from his family's doctor and continue training. Sometimes, he would encounter sword techniques that were difficult to master, but he did not give up. Instead, he practiced repeatedly until he mastered them.

Xu Tiancai's hard work and perseverance did not go unnoticed by his family. His father, Xu Feng, the head of the Xu family and a formidable warrior, was filled with joy and pride at his son's efforts and progress. He decided to hire a better teacher to guide his son's training.

After a long search, Xu Feng finally found a swordsman named Li Jian. Li Jian was an experienced warrior with superb swordsmanship and profound inner strength. He had made great achievements on the battlefield and was a highly respected figure.

After arriving at the Xu family, Li Jian rigorously assessed Xu Tiancai. Recognizing his potential and dedication, he decided to accept him as his apprentice. From then on, Xu Tiancai's training became even more arduous and rigorous. Li Jian not only taught him advanced sword techniques, but also taught him how to remain calm and rational in combat, and how to unleash his full potential.

Under Li Jian's guidance, Xu Tiancai's progress accelerated. His swordsmanship became increasingly refined, and his internal strength deepened. He began participating in family competitions, sparring and exchanging ideas with other family members. In these competitions, he demonstrated his formidable strength and fighting skills, earning widespread acclaim.

However, Xu Tiancai wasn't satisfied with his progress. He knew he still had a long way to go and many challenges awaited him. He decided to leave his family and explore the wider world, seeking more opportunities to improve his abilities.

Before leaving the family, Xu Tiancai visited his father's study. He looked at his father, his eyes filled with determination and confidence. "Father, I have decided to leave the family and venture into the outside world. I believe that only by constantly challenging myself can I become a truly powerful warrior," Xu Tiancai said.

Xu Feng looked at his son, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that his son had grown up and had his own dreams and aspirations. He nodded and said, "Okay, son. I believe you can achieve your dreams. In the outside world, be careful and cautious, and don't give up easily when you encounter difficulties. Remember, your family will always have your back."

Xu Tiancai nodded, then turned and left the study. He embarked on a new journey, carrying his dreams and beliefs with him. In this world full of unknowns, he would continue to write his own legend.
