The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
The Eastern Proud Dragon, who had been repelled by the students of Confucius Academy, quietly waited for Yi Junsheng at the entrance of Confucius Academy. Unexpectedly, Living Dead Yamata Koji came chasing after him frantically. Yamada Koji was completely unaware, relying solely on his instinct to sense his surroundings. Upon catching the scent of Eastern Proud Dragon, he lunged forward aggressively. With no other choice, Eastern Proud Dragon could only wield his axe and fiercely strike at Yamada Koji, initiating a fierce battle. Despite Eastern Proud Dragon's immense strength and the terrifying force of his axe, he could not inflict any harm on Yamada Koji. The blade and sword could not penetrate, and the energy from his palms could not injure Yamada Koji, who gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Eastern Proud Dragon had no choice but to flee the scene, with Yamada Koji hot on his heels. As he ran, Eastern Proud Dragon muttered, "This Zombie is really troublesome. It seems I have to escape to Tongfu Inn. I'll have Sun Simiao deal with him then; it's settled." With that, Eastern Proud Dragon dashed towards Tongfu Inn.
After a frantic run, Eastern Proud Dragon finally arrived outside Tongfu Inn and shouted loudly into the inn, "Sun Simiao! Your Yamada Koji is here; come out quickly to greet me." Just as he finished speaking, Yamada Koji was already closing in on him again for another fierce clash. Eastern Proud Dragon struggled to hold his ground and shouted several more times. At that moment, Medicine King Sun Simiao leaped out from inside the inn and shouted for Yamada Koji to stop, halting his murderous actions. Eastern Proud Dragon said, "Sun Simiao, your prized creation is truly harmful. If it weren't for him, that despicable White Face would have long since died at my hands."
Sun Simiao replied, "Yi Junsheng is cunning; without my Zombie, he would use other means to escape. How can you blame my Yamada Koji for this?"
Eastern Proud Dragon retorted, "You should keep a close watch on your Zombie and prevent him from being stolen again. I must continue pursuing Yi Junsheng now; farewell." With that, he left Tongfu Inn. Sun Simiao observed that Yamada Koji could still detect the scent of living beings and autonomously attack; he remarked, "It seems this creation still has flaws. I need to return to my cottage to improve it." He then took Yamada Koji back to his cottage.
Shu Heng, who had barely escaped with his life, was now on the brink of collapse and finally fainted in the wilderness. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances soon arrived and carried the unconscious Shu Heng to a nearby cave for healing. After a moment, Shu Heng regained consciousness and said, "You saved me again! Didn't you part ways with me? How did you end up on the way to Tongfu Inn?"
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances replied, "I saw something was off with you; you were injured. So I turned back to see where you were going. Who knew you were going to seek someone to kill? Isn't that just asking for death?"
Shu Heng responded angrily, "I am avenging my clan! I will not rest until I kill that old thief Duanmu!"
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances said, "You can seek revenge only after your injuries are healed; otherwise, it won't be you killing others but rather them killing you. Moreover, that monk's martial arts are profound; even if you weren't injured, you might not be his match. But I'm curious—how did that monk become your enemy?"
Shu Heng explained, "That false monk in robes is none other than the wicked Duanmu Chong."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances remarked, "So it's Duanmu Chong who has been making waves in the martial world recently. He was previously besieged by Yi Zhangzhi and others; it seems he's making a comeback now. The Martial World Chronicles report that Yi Zhangzhi has become public enemy number one in the martial world; I suspect this is also orchestrated by Duanmu Chong. You are injured and should refrain from fighting for now; wait until you recover before seeking revenge."
Shu Heng conceded, "Alright."
Within the Confucius Academy, Yi Junsheng encountered Mengzi, who had once made him feel quite miserable. Mengzi spoke first: "Oh, it's you, the uneducated and illiterate Yi Junsheng. This time you've been hunted down, and I, despite our past grievances, am taking you in. You should be grateful!"
Yi Junsheng replied, "I didn't expect you, Mengzi, to be so good with words. Last time I lost to you without a fight; this time I will outsmart you. Listen carefully, the first line is 'People pass by the Great Buddha Temple, where the Buddha is greater than the people.' Please provide a matching second line."
Mengzi responded, "Oh, this first line is a palindrome. My second line is 'Guests reside above, unexpectedly above guests.' How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng said, "You are lucky this time. Let's continue. Listen carefully; the first line is 'Two boats race on the river, oars are not as fast as sails.' As an old scholar from the Confucius Academy, please provide a matching second line."
Mengzi replied, "Hmm, not bad. The first line implies historical figures Lu Su and Fan Kuai; my second line is 'A hundred pipes compete in harmony; the flute cannot compare to the xiao.' What do you think?"
Yi Junsheng remarked, "A hundred pipes compete in harmony; the flute cannot compare to the xiao. This includes Di Qing and Xiao He. Well, I must admit you matched it."
Mengzi said, "No need to continue; your limited knowledge doesn't deserve to be displayed before me. Isn't that like showing off a sword in front of Guan Gong? Hahaha! Someone, please take this uninteresting Yi Junsheng away to rest. Also, remember to post a notice at the Broadcast Tower that in three days our academy will hold a Husband Resting Ceremony and invite all members of the Martial Arts Community to attend."
Several students responded affirmatively: "Yes." Then two students escorted Yi Junsheng out. As he walked away in confusion, he thought: A Husband Resting Ceremony? I've only heard of divorcing wives; where is there such a thing as resting husbands? Is this Confucius Academy really going against tradition with women in charge? It's unimaginable!
After Duanmu Chong returned from his battle with Shu Heng at the Martial Arts Auction, Auctioneer Left Eye personally welcomed him. Surveillance Motive said: "Welcome back, Master. Your strategy has already taken effect; now Yi Zhangzhi has become a rat everyone wants to hit. His reputation in the Martial Arts Alliance is in tatters and he can no longer pose a threat to you."
Duanmu Chong replied: "Not so fast. As long as Yi Zhangzhi exists in this world, he will always be a threat. We cannot underestimate his strength. Pass my orders: immediately investigate Yi Zhangzhi's whereabouts within the Martial Arts Alliance and report back as soon as there is any news."
Surveillance Motive answered: "Understood. I will take care of it right away."
The defeated Hate Blade Swordsman arrived at Drunken Red Mansion, intending to vent his pent-up hatred through women. He said to the madam: "Quickly bring your top performer like Ruhua here; I want to vent my frustrations!"
The madam replied, "This hero, I am truly sorry, but Ruhua is currently entertaining other guests. Let me call Ruxin Girl to accompany you."
Hate Blade Swordsman said, "Nonsense, I want Ruhua. Who dares to occupy my Ruhua? I will tear him to pieces." After saying this, he rushed upstairs, kicking open door after door in search of Ruhua. When he reached the eighth room, he opened the door to find a man enjoying himself with Ruhua. Furious, Hate Blade Swordsman drew his sword and charged at the man. At that moment, the madam shouted, "Jia Gongzi, be careful! Someone wants to kill you." It turned out that the man with Ruhua was Romantic Talent, Jia Baoyu. Faced with the sudden threat, Jia Baoyu remained unfazed and continued to enjoy himself with Ruhua.
Tension filled the air. Would Hate Blade Swordsman kill Jia Baoyu? Was Jia Baoyu in danger? The Confucius Academy was about to hold an unprecedented Husband Resting Ceremony. Which woman would perform such a shocking act?
To know more details, please continue reading Chapter 38 of The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World: Husband Resting Ceremony.
