The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
The Lotus Seed Ridge Martial Arts Sect held a martial arts conference today. Numerous sects, renowned figures from the martial world, Jianghu heroes, and wandering practitioners gathered at the venue. Yi Junsheng and others who enjoyed lively events also arrived. However, the first two guest seats set by the Martial Arts Sect remained vacant, as if some important figures had yet to arrive. Suddenly, an Overbearing Poem echoed: "The earth does not exist; only I am supreme." A proud figure with a cold gaze and a fierce expression slowly stepped forward; this person was none other than the Martial Arts Sect's leader, Martial Saint Duanmu Chonghao. Everyone bowed respectfully to Duanmu Chong, who returned the gesture. Noticing that the first and second guest seats were empty, Duanmu Chong remarked, "It seems these two will not be coming."
Zhuge Kongming asked, "May I ask, Master Duanmu, who are these two seats reserved for? Their status seems even more significant than that of Sword God Huangfu Mingmo?"
Ben Aoxiang replied, "The first guest seat is reserved for Taoist Sect's outstanding figure Ming Lang Qian Kun Yi Zhangzhi, and the second guest seat is for Smoke and Rain, Flower of the Eighteen Floors, Master Original and Unique Dreamy Beauty."
Sima Qian inquired, "Dreamy Beauty? Is she not the Peerless Beauty who captivated many heroes and chivalrous figures years ago?"
Ben Aoxiang confirmed, "Indeed."
Du Fu spoke up, "Why is her status so important?"
Ben Aoxiang explained, "Currently, Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors has a vast influence capable of affecting the martial world's landscape; it is incomparable to the past."
Yi Junsheng stepped forward: "I am Yi Zhangzhi's elder brother; Yi Zhangzhi will not come. Why not let me represent my brother and take that seat?"
Duanmu Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are Yi Zhangzhi's brother, please take your seat."
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Yi Junsheng stepped forward to sit down. Sanwei Daoist sighed and said, "Truly, when one achieves success, even their chickens and dogs rise in status."
At this moment, a luxurious flower palanquin descended outside the door, followed by a verse:
"Standing alone in admiration is not for beauty; a touch of rouge is stunningly exquisite."
A beautiful woman stepped out from the flower bridge, her presence transforming her into a heroic figure.
Her heart blossomed with joy as she was accompanied by many, seeking pleasure and revelry like a celestial being.
Dressed in garments that revealed her skin, she looked down upon the crowd with a smile, confident in her beauty.
This stunning woman was none other than Smoke and Rain, Flower of the Eighteen Floors, Master Original and Unique·Dreamy Beauty, her beauty rivaling that of Murong Yaoxian. The many martial artists present could not help but swallow hard, their desires ignited. As Dreamy Beauty entered the grand hall and took her seat, the ecstatic Yi Junsheng remarked, “My lady, your entrance poem has awakened the primal beast within me; this could lead to quite serious consequences.”
Dreamy Beauty laughed heartily and replied, “White Face, I would love to duel with you for three hundred rounds, but I fear you might exhaust yourself and perish!”
Yi Junsheng retorted, “Nonsense! I once battled for three nights at Drunken Red Mansion without losing my composure. You think you alone can wear me down? That’s simply a fool’s dream.”
Dreamy Beauty covered her mouth with her sleeve and said, “Hahaha, White Face, I’m liking you more and more!”
Duanmu Chong then spoke up: “Now that everyone is here, let’s begin. Everyone knows that recently Japan invaded the martial world, causing many common people to become displaced and homeless due to the lack of leadership among us. Therefore, today’s martial assembly has only one topic: to elect a leader for the martial world who can guide us. This leader will defend against external threats and maintain order within our ranks.”
Many in the Martial Arts Community agreed this was a good idea, but discussions arose about how to select this leader and who would be most suitable. Hua Mulan suggested, “Historically, martial leaders have always been those with great martial prowess; I propose we determine the leader through combat.”
Zhuge Kongming shook his head: “This is not appropriate. With so many people present, how long would it take to select a leader through combat?”
Loser Scholar·Fan Buzhao said: “I think we should avoid combat and instead engage in a literary contest; whoever excels in talent should be the leader of the martial world.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng replied: “Fan Buzhao, have you lost your mind because you can’t pass the imperial examination? Historically, no one has ever become a martial leader through mere eloquence. If you keep spouting nonsense, Dreamy Beauty might just swallow you whole in the middle of the night.”
Dreamy Beauty laughed and said, “White Face, you are becoming more and more to my taste.”
Du Fu said, “If the martial decision selects a leader of the martial world, but that leader lacks talent and wisdom, it is in vain. If the literary contest selects a leader, but that leader lacks martial prowess, it is also futile; therefore, I propose that we have both a martial decision and a literary examination.”
Duanmu Chong replied, “The Poetry Sect leader is right; only someone who excels in both literature and martial arts can be worthy of the title of leader of the martial world.”
Tao Yuanliang asked, “I wonder how Master Duanmu thinks we should conduct the martial decision and what the literary examination should entail?”
Dreamy Beauty said, “I think we can skip the literary examination; in this martial world that values strength, the refined literary approach is no longer suitable. Whoever has superior martial skills should be considered; even if you are exceptionally talented, it cannot compare to someone else's powerful strike. The leader of the martial world needs wisdom and the ability to get things done; once everyone has chosen a leader, we can let him handle the recent issues arising in the martial world and see how he performs. If he does well, we can then acknowledge him as our leader.”
Most of the Martial Arts Community agreed with Dreamy Beauty. Duanmu Chong said, “If that’s the case, let’s first select a candidate through martial decision. What suggestions do people have for this martial decision?”
Sword God Huangfu Mingmo said, “To avoid wasting time, I propose a single strike to determine the victor.”
Dreamy Beauty: “Good suggestion, I agree. Now let those interested in competing for the position of leader sign up.”
Zhuge Kongming said, “Is there really a need to sign up? There are only four people present qualified to become the leader of the martial world; wouldn’t it be foolish for others to sign up in front of Guan Gong?”
Yi Junsheng asked, “Zhuge Kongming, who are those four qualified individuals?”
Zhuge Kongming replied, “Of course it’s the host Master Duanmu, Dreamy Beauty, Huangfu Mingmo, and Qiu Yuxia.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuxia said, “I am not here to become the leader of the martial world; I am here for the exploration of martial arts.”
Dreamy Beauty laughed and said, "Isn't this just a reason that reveals more than it hides? Why do people always conceal their desires with malicious intent?"
Qiu Yuxia responded angrily, "Please do not view things through the lens of human nature, Dreamy Beauty."
Huangfu Mingmo said, "My friend, since we are here, let's make the most of it. Such an opportunity to meet a master should not be missed."
Qiu Yuxia replied, "Well... fine."
Dreamy Beauty said, "Since that's settled, we now have four candidates. Let's begin the first round."
Duanmu Chong announced, "The opponents for the first round will be generated randomly. The winners will advance to the second round, and the winner of the second round will become the candidate for the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader."
Ben Aoxiang announced the results of the first round matchups: Huangfu Mingmo versus Duanmu Chong, and Qiu Yuxia versus Dreamy Beauty. Duanmu Chong said, "Please step onto the competition stage." Many from the Martial Arts Community went to watch the matches.
In a decisive move, Huangfu Mingmo faced off against Duanmu Chong. Huangfu Mingmo fought for the pinnacle of martial arts, while Duanmu Chong fought for his inflated ambitions. Huangfu Mingmo declared, "Martial Saint, let me witness your abilities." He then drew his sword and executed his famous move, One Sword Breaking the Sky. Instantly, the surrounding air swirled into a massive sword shape that emitted a dazzling yellow light piercing through the sky, coloring the entire area in yellow—a truly spectacular sight.
Duanmu Chong replied, "Sword God, your legend ends today." He then revealed his ultimate technique, Galactic Destruction, which conjured thousands of swirling air currents forming an enormous glowing sphere. The sound of the rapidly rotating air was deafening, its might capable of swallowing the sun and moon, instilling fear in all who beheld it.
