Chen Xi looked at the soldier who effortlessly threw away a huge stone weighing hundreds of kilograms, speechless as she gazed at the sky. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Lu Bu, armed with only a spear, broke through an army of thousands of men. It just doesn't seem scientifically possible. Zhao Zilong seemed to have the spirit of a dragon within him as he sliced through mountains with a single sword. Is he really human?

Chen Xi absentmindedly touched her feather fan and waved it casually. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and she sighed. "Is this mythology? I don't even feel normal myself."
