The Day My Engagement Was Called Off, My Parents Revealed Our Hidden Clan's Origins

Lu Chen transmigrated to a high-martial world eighteen years ago. His parents were ordinary workers, and his family was so poor they had to scrape together money just to afford a bride price. Determined to change his fate, he trained relentlessly, finally getting into a top martial arts university and becoming engaged to the campus belle. Just as everyone thought he had a bright future ahead, his fiancée took the city lord's son by the arm in front of everyone and said coldly, “Lu Chen, let's call off the engagement. You're impressive, but you'll always be ordinary.” “I want a man who can stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.” Lu Chen didn't argue. He turned and walked away. Back home, he planned to train even harder and prove that the bitch had made the wrong choice! But then his parents suddenly told him a shocking secret! “Son, there's something we've kept from you for eighteen years.” “Actually... our Lu family is an ancient clan that has lived in seclusion.” “For eight hundred years, the Lu family has guarded the underground caverns, protecting humanity from countless beast tides.” “Your grandfather is a Martial Emperor. Your father is a Martial Saint. Your mother is a Martial Sovereign. Your great-grandfather... is a Martial God!” Lu Chen: ??? At first, he didn't believe a word of it. Until his mother made a phone call, and tens of thousands of battle-hardened troops guarding the caverns came soaring through the sky, shouting in unison: “Welcome home, young master!” The whole city was shaken! The city lord knelt. The powerful families knelt. The Martial Arts Association knelt. Even his ex-fiancée was dumbfounded! The Lu family, who couldn't even scrape together a bride price, was actually a reclusive clan guarding the caverns and protecting humanity?! When the Martial God ancestor, asleep for decades, personally emerged from seclusion just to meet Lu Chen, the whole world fell silent. His ex-fiancée knelt before Lu Chen, crying. “Lu Chen, I was wrong. Can we start over?” Lu Chen simply uttered one word: “Get lost.”
