My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Outside the Xu Mansion.

Xu Jinjiang slowly lowered his finger. "A Martial Academy Disciple is trying to arrest the Patriarch of my Xu Family. Am I not allowed to intervene?"

"Intervene?"

Lü Bingchen smiled, then snorted coldly. "Xu Jinjiang, has your secluded cultivation muddled your mind? Or perhaps it’s been so long since the Martial Academy made a move that you’ve all forgotten a few things?"

He swept his gaze around, his eyes brushing past Wu Zhenshan’s shifting expression before finally landing back on Xu Jinjiang’s face. His voice suddenly turned sharp.

"Liang Cheng is a True Disciple of our Martial Academy!"

"Your Xu Family is suspected of colluding with a Cult and plundering a mine. You even dared to frame an innocent party. Liang Cheng is the Town Guardian of the Dongshan Mine, and he is making an arrest according to the law. What has he done wrong?!"

"You, an old fossil at True Qi Realm Perfection, have the audacity to personally step in and attack a True Disciple of our Academy who has been with us for barely two years? And you have the gall to do it yourself?!"

Lü Bingchen took a step forward. The gentle, scholarly air of a Martial Academy Master vanished in an instant, replaced by a sharp, domineering aura that made faces pale!

"Has Lin Wu City forgotten? The Martial Academy was founded over three hundred years ago. We follow the rules and abide by the law, but we have never been afraid of trouble, and we are certainly not afraid of death!"

"When Disciples compete within the Academy and are killed or crippled, that is due to their own lack of skill!"

"But if an outsider tries to break the rules, to use their power to bully the weak," Lü Bingchen stared at Xu Jinjiang, his gaze icy as he spoke each word with chilling deliberation, "then everyone in our Martial Academy, from the Dean down to the Servants, would be more than happy to remind certain people—"

"The reason the Martial Academy has stood strong for three hundred years is not because we are good at reasoning, but because we are the best at making unreasonable people shut their mouths forever."

His voice turned frigid.

"Thirty years ago, there was the Li Family. Their True Essence Realm Elder died, their direct bloodline was crippled, and they lost more than half of their family fortune. The grass on their graves is now ten feet tall."

"Xu Jinjiang, do you want the Xu Family to be the second example?"

"No, that’s not right. You’re not a True Essence Realm expert. I’m giving you too much credit."

MURMURS—!

His words threw the entire crowd into an uproar!

Many of the younger generation looked bewildered, but some of the older Martial Artists and the Stewards sent by various families to gather information instantly turned pale, a look of heart-stopping fear in their eyes.

’The madmen of the Martial Academy!’

Thirty years ago, a True Inheritor from the previous generation of the Martial Academy was ambushed and killed while training out in the world. He was gravely injured and died a miserable death, the victim of a plot by the scion of a major family.

The acting Dean of the Martial Academy at the time personally led three True Inheritors and four Masters to block the gates of the Li Family’s estate for three days and three nights.

In the end, the family’s True Essence Realm Supreme Elder was killed in battle. They were forced to hand over all the disciples involved in the incident, whose Martial Arts were then crippled on the spot by the Academy. Their Patriarch also severed one of his own arms and surrendered half of the family’s assets before the matter was put to rest.

At the time, someone had even requested the City Lord’s Mansion to mediate. But when the reigning City Lord came personally to intervene, the Academy’s Dean offered only a single sentence in reply.

"The Martial Academy is merely seeking justice and avenging our Disciple. For the City Lord’s Mansion to interfere like this... are you trying to alienate the Academy and force us to part ways?"

In the end, the City Lord’s Mansion backed down completely.

From that day forward, the reputation of the "Martial Academy’s madmen" spread like wildfire. No one ever dared to touch the Academy’s ’reverse scale’—its fierce protectiveness of its own.

Normal competition and sparring were acceptable, but if anyone tried to use their strength to bully the weak, the Martial Academy would never stand for it.

Now, as Lü Bingchen brought up this old affair, his meaning was self-evident. Xu Jinjiang’s expression turned utterly grim.

’If this were merely a private grudge between the Xu Family and Liang Cheng, the Martial Academy might have been open to reason if I had acted to discipline a junior. But now, with the Xu Family suspected of colluding with a Cult to steal from a mine, and with Liang Cheng acting officially and in accordance with the law, if I were to forcibly move against Liang Cheng, it would no longer be a matter of teaching a junior a lesson. It would be a blatant trampling of the Martial Academy’s authority and a challenge to its bottom line.’

’Those madmen from the Martial Academy are absolutely capable of massacring the entire Xu Family, especially when they hold the moral high ground!’

Silence.

Tension.

The oppressive pressure that had previously filled the air before the Xu Mansion was completely swept away.

Xu Jinjiang’s withered frame stood rooted to the spot. Lü Bingchen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, but the cold glint in his eyes was so intense that no one dared to meet his gaze.

Standing behind Lü Bingchen, Liang Cheng’s heart was a turbulent sea of emotions.

’He knew the Martial Academy usually didn’t interfere in competitions between Disciples, but he never imagined that they would be so fiercely protective against outsiders who tried to bully them. Only now did he truly feel the weight of those four words: Martial Academy True Inheritor. The Martial Academy showed great care and warmth, but the essence of it all was that you had to be acknowledged as a successor. The True Inheritors were the foundation of the Academy; their safety was paramount.’

While Liang Cheng stood aside with a storm of emotions in his heart, Xu Jinjiang slowly closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he opened them again. He said nothing, merely turning and waving a dismissive hand at Xu Feng, who was supporting him. Then, step by faltering step, he shuffled back into the deep shadows of the Xu Mansion’s Inner Courtyard.

His stooped figure seemed to age another ten years in that instant.

Xu Feng’s lips moved, but in the end, no words came out.

’This meant the Xu Family was admitting defeat. The Martial Dao World was simply survival of the fittest. Today, Liang Cheng had been taught another lesson, and he buried all of today’s realizations deep in his heart.’

Liang Cheng wanted to thank Lü Bingchen, but the Master gave him a look, signaling him not to do anything. Then, ignoring everyone present, Lü Bingchen drifted away.

Liang Cheng then turned to his Personal Guards and issued an order.

"Surround the Xu Family estate. Until this case is fully investigated, no one is to enter or leave."

"Yes, sir!"

...

As Liang Cheng led the heavily injured Xu Tianxing away from the Xu Mansion, the entire street fell silent. All eyes followed the young, black-clad figure with a saber on his back, their expressions complex and unreadable.

Wu Zhenshan departed in a hurry.

’This turn of events was unexpected. I must report it as soon as possible.’
