"But he encountered a bottleneck when he was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and Wu Ming was stuck in this bottleneck for about ten years."
"After failing to break through for a long time, Wu Ming gave up on his attempt to reach the Martial King realm."
"Because he felt that if even he couldn't break through, it was absolutely impossible for others."
"So he stopped pursuing the ultimate in martial arts and turned to playing the game of power and intrigue."
"Logically speaking, political maneuvering is also a good choice, but he felt that entering the imperial court was too boring."
"So he had an idea: he wanted to be an underground emperor."
"Then, in order to realize his idea, he created the Invisible Men organization, which was specifically for assassinations."
"He amassed a vast fortune through the Invisible Man organization."
After speaking, Young Master Huang stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
However, the wandering swordsmen in the inn were completely baffled, because they thought Wu Ming was very successful.
"Mr. Li, I think this little old man, Wu Ming, is really amazing!"
"Why would you say he has a lot of wisdom and talent but nothing else?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was about to explain when Young Master Huang suddenly spoke up.
"Because he was ambitious but lacked perseverance."
"With his talent and wisdom, he could achieve great things whether he chose the martial arts world or the imperial court."
"With his talent, he should be a master of the Martial King realm by now, having focused on pursuing the ultimate in martial arts."
"With his intelligence, he should be a powerful minister now if he focuses on the court."
"Whichever path he chooses, he will become a remarkable person."
"But he chose such an unconventional path and created the Invisible Man, which is a laughing stock."
"That's why Mr. Li said that he has a lot of talent and wisdom but nothing else."
After saying that, Young Master Huang looked at Li Chengqian and smiled, "Mr. Li, am I right?"
"That's right, that's exactly it. Wu Ming really wasted the opportunities God gave him!"
"What a pity." (Factory)
Chapter 357 What should a master's goal be? Can you be called a master if you don't rebel?
Even after hearing Young Master Huang's explanation, some martial arts practitioners were still unconvinced.
Because they felt that Wu Ming's situation wasn't as bad as Young Master Huang described.
However, given Huang Gongzi's status, the martial arts enthusiasts at Ping An Inn didn't have the courage to question him.
Therefore, these people decided to question Li Chengqian.
"Mr. Li, Wu Ming isn't as weak as you say, is he?"
"His martial arts skills have reached their peak, and he has an invisible organization under his command that strikes fear into the hearts of all."
"He is now ranked third on the Grandmaster list, and there are not many things in the Ming Dynasty that can stump him anymore."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "That's true, but with higher conditions, the goals will naturally rise as well."
"Wu Ming's strength and influence are indeed a threat to most sects and wandering knights in the martial arts world."
"To reach such a level of strength and attainment as '157' and still only think about dominating the overt martial arts sects is somewhat unambitious."
"Mr. Li, what kind of goals do you think someone like Wu Ming should have?"
"Is that even a question?"
"Of course, it's to assassinate the emperor!"
"What kind of expert can't even pose a threat to the emperor of their own country?"
Everyone:! ! !
Mr. Li, please stop messing around. If you keep doing this, we might not be able to leave this inn.
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea.
Originally, Young Master Huang, like Li Chengqian, was sitting in the Tianzi Building, looking down on all living beings while holding a cup of tea.
Because he found that this feeling was great.
No matter what you do or say, you always respond with a smile, as if you have everything under your control.
But Huang Gongzi really couldn't hold back after hearing Li Chengqian's words.
"Cough cough!"
He wiped the tea from his chest and handed the teacup to the Sunflower Ancestor beside him.
"Mr. Li, you can't just say things like that."
"I'm not making this up. Assassinating the emperor is a very difficult thing to do in any country."
"To assassinate the emperor, one must not only break through the army's blockade, but also defeat the experts in the palace."
"This is the kind of goal that people in the martial arts world pursue."
"If you can't even do something like this, do you deserve to be called a master?"
Young Master Huang: ""
You just can't stand to see me having a peaceful time, can you?
"Cough cough!"
"Mr. Li, besides assassinating the emperor, do you have no other goals?"
"Yes!"
“Rebellion is also a rather challenging thing.”
Young Master Huang's lips twitched.
"What else can we do besides rebelling?"
"Aside from rebellion and assassination of the emperor, other objectives depend on the specific circumstances."
"Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, the goal of these masters on the Grandmaster Ranking should be to beat Wudang, kick Shaolin, and incidentally take on Xia Ke Island."
“Wu Ming can’t do any of these things. Not only can he not do them, he doesn’t even want to think about them.”
"How dare they stand there so smug? It's utterly shameful."
Upon hearing Mr. Li's words, everyone began to question the meaning of life.
""
Since I started listening to storytelling at Ping An Inn, I've found that my standards have become increasingly high.
Two mountains of gold are nothing compared to assassinating an emperor and starting a rebellion.
Or they could punch Wudang and kick Shaolin, and then incidentally attack Xia Ke Island.
What's even more outrageous is that I actually think Mr. Li makes sense. What's wrong with this world?
After a while, everyone recovered from their shock.
At this moment, some onlookers, in a moment of impulsiveness, actually asked Young Master Huang, "Young Master Huang, what if Wu Ming keeps pursuing the ultimate in martial arts?"
"Then, as a Martial King, is it possible for him to succeed in assassinating the Ming Emperor?"
"brush!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a murderous gaze glared at him.
Faced with Young Master Huang's "gaze," the wandering swordsman's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
However, under the impact of a strong will to survive, the martial arts practitioner's intelligence instantly took over.
You mustn't kneel!
If he kneels, then it will confirm that he is indeed Young Master Huang.
Saying such things to the Emperor Ming would definitely mean certain death, but saying them to "Young Master Huang" might offer a chance for things to turn around.
The wandering swordsman shrank back, looking aggrieved, and said, "Young Master Huang, I was just asking casually."
"If you don't want to talk, then forget it. Don't glare at me like that, okay?"
"Moreover, this question of mine would be helpful to Emperor Ming..."
"Within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are always some ignorant and unruly people who want to harm the Ming Emperor."
"Although Emperor Ming can easily solve these minor problems, being disturbed every day must be quite bothersome for him."
"If the situation can be explained clearly, Emperor Ming can avoid a lot of trouble."
Faced with the wanderer's sophistry, Young Master Huang remained silent, staring at him for a few more breaths before his expression returned to normal.
"I shouldn't speculate too much about Emperor Ming's affairs."
"However, I can still analyze it. If a Martial King realm expert comes to assassinate us, it will indeed be a rather troublesome matter."
"Although a Martial King realm expert is powerful, it's not impossible to kill him."
"Am I right, Mr. Li?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.
"That's right. Not to mention Martial Kings, there are ways to kill even cultivators."
"Throughout the Nine Provinces, among the six great dynasties, no matter who it is, they would have a headache facing an assassination attempt by a Martial King realm expert."
"However, those who can reach the Martial King realm must be devoted to martial arts."
"How could someone like that get involved in court infighting?"
Having received Li Chengqian's reply, Young Master Huang nodded in satisfaction.
"Assassination by a Martial King realm expert is almost impossible, so why should we worry about those below the Martial King realm?"
"Wu Ming is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level. The Ming Dynasty has a million armored soldiers and a hundred thousand iron cavalry."
