He was The Greatest Talent in the Nine Hells Realm.

Shen Zhenyi began to practice his sword when he was four years and two months old.

At the age of seven, he studied the Ten Thousand Sword Sutra. By the age of eleven, he fought against the Yudao in Shangqing Palace. In an instant, he unleashed one hundred and eighty-five sword strikes, making it impossible for anyone to retaliate. The Yudao admitted defeat and deemed him as “The Peerless Genius.”

At the age of 14, Shen Zhenyi, with his Six Forms of the Ancient Sword, surpassed the swordsman Zuo Tianxing who was ranked among the top ten masters in the world, and won the title of “The First Swordsman of the Abyss.”

He now lies crippled. A fraction of the state he was in before. Or so they thought.

Mu Qi, the owner of dual abilities, was killed in the final battle between humans and the Zombie King.

Good news, Mu Qi passed through after his death.
Bad news, dressed as a non-human.

Mu Qi, who was seriously injured just after passing through, was rescued by Lu Zhao who was in the middle of the exercise.
Mu Qi, who was just recovering from a serious injury, was forced to accept that he was expelled from his membership and became a male worm.

However, before he could adapt to the Zerg, his life-saving benefactor squatted into the orange with a black pot on his back.
Mu Qi was preparing to save his life-saving benefactor non-stop, and then found that he was off the list.

Imperial Major General Lu Zhao was convicted of attacking a male worm and caused serious injury, and faced compensation for star coins, which led to his bankruptcy and even his life.
Except for his boss and the female in the same army, no one believed that he was wronged. He was already ready to die, until that night, a male with black hair and black eyes stood in front of the cell and asked he.

“Are you willing to be my second metamorphosis guide female?”

The male worm brought him hope, cleared him of his suspicions, and let him return to the military, giving him all the freedom and tolerance he could not imagine.
Lu Zhao thought that he was willing to do anything for Mu Qi.
**
The marriage of Imperial Blade was not optimistic at first. The bugs on the star network were ready to watch jokes, but they did not want to start with a live broadcast trial, and things developed out of control.

“Shocking my female father for a hundred years, it turns out that the Zerg really has such male insects?”
“House bugs, beat me up on the public screen!”
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made a conclusion without authorization from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn’t have been slapped in the face to the point of being swollen…”

Comments similar to the above have appeared frequently on the star network since then.
