Chapter 300: 0299 Pass Easily

Breezing Through

Chen Taiji advanced directly without anyone challenging him, a first in this edition of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament.

Afterward, younger warriors from both northern and southern martial arts communities took the stage, though it was an unknown newcomer; such unfamiliar faces naturally didn’t intimidate many.

Many young successors enthusiastically leaped onto the battlefield to issue challenges.

Once again, the battle stage became the center of attention, with ambitious young martial artists giving their all to showcase their skills, much to the delight of many spectators.

"This session seems to have fewer promising newcomers compared to the past," Qian Zhen remarked.

"Indeed, the last North-South Martial Arts Tournament was teeming with talent. The struggle among the top ten was intense - without the True Qi Realm, there was no chance of competing. But looking at today, there are few noteworthy young talents," said martial arts grandmaster Li Tiezheng.

"What rises to its height must ebb" noted Wang Hutang lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ren Hesheng smiled slightly and said, "Excellence lies in mastery, not diversity; the same principles apply to martial artists. Having a hundred mediocre warriors is no match for having one elite. I think quantity doesn’t matter as much; quality does."

Ren Hesheng even openly admitted his admiration for Ye Qiu, whom he had seen before at a martial arts gathering hosted by Fujikawa Ueno and considered to be a young man with limitless potential.

Qian Zhen, Li Tiezheng, and Wang Hutang all looked at Ren Hesheng and said, "You praise this lad so highly; don’t tell me you’re eyeing his talent and thinking of taking him as your disciple."

Facing the trio’s question, Ren Hesheng responded frankly, "I’d like to take him as a disciple, but this kid has a mysterious master who probably wouldn’t think much of me."

Qian Zhen, Li Tiezheng, and Wang Hutang all smiled wryly; Ren Hesheng wasn’t wrong. Ye Qiu was indeed mysterious, and even now, his identity and the mystical figure behind him were unclear. Were they truly of legendary status? No one could provide an answer; only Ye Qiu himself might know.

As they were talking, Qian Zhen suddenly beamed and exclaimed, "Master, I am back."

Li Tiezheng, Wang Hutang, and Ren Hesheng all turned towards the newcomer, laughing and saying, "So it’s this young lad who has returned."

The youth in their eyes was none other than Tang Yao.

Tang Yao looked largely unchanged, except for two new scars on his face which made him appear more ferocious than before.

However, Qian Zhen, Tang Yao’s master, didn’t think so; his disciple had chosen that path, ventured there alone, and the scars proved he had almost lost his life there.

"It’s good that you’re back, it’s good," Qian Zhen said.

Ren Hesheng, Wang Hutang, and Li Tiezheng eyed Tang Yao, who had just returned. After careful scrutiny, they finally noticed the real change in him.

"Did you break through?" Ren Hesheng asked in surprise. His mention of a breakthrough wasn’t about a minor progression but a bottleneck that could hold someone back for years, or even a lifetime.

Tang Yao was already at the peak of his energy, unable to advance further, but upon his return and a thorough examination of his aura, it seemed far beyond what it was.

Tang Yao nodded lightly; Ren Hesheng and the others roared in approval, turning to Qian Zhen to congratulate, "You old fellow, congratulations."

Hearing their congratulations, Qian Zhen showed a relieved expression. Tang Yao had not disgraced him, finally reaching the True Qi Realm. It seemed this edition of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament was one Tang Yao could indeed vie for.

Even the typically unruffled Qian Zhen couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement at that moment.

...

This edition of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament went on for a month.

No matter whether they could make it to the final rivalry of the Top Ten, all participants would receive a ranking.

By the third day, more than 150 martial artists had been selected through the elimination process.

Quite a few new martial artists emerged in the martial arts community, and anyone with some strength made an appearance on the battle platform to show off their skills.

However, aside from Chen Taiji, Wang Shuisheng, Tang Yao, and a few others who were significantly stronger, the others rarely stood out.

When the martial arts tournament reached the seventh day, members of the Dragon group took the stage.

This time, those who attended the North-South martial arts tournament were people who hadn’t participated before, even Si Ma’ao and others were eager to try.

Li Xiaohu stepped onto the battle platform.

His opponent was a martial artist from the northern martial arts community who introduced his background briefly before they began the match.

A moment later, Li Xiaohu returned in defeat, having been beaten by his opponent right at the first matchup.

Mei Huiling didn’t blame Li Xiaohu and consoled him, "It’s not your fault you lost to this person. His movements are comparable to a monkey’s, and his attacks are tricky; he has a certain reputation in the martial arts community.

The other members of the Dragon group didn’t blame Li Xiaohu either. If it had been them, they might not have lasted either.

Soon, Mu Zhige stepped up, and members of the Dragon group encouraged him fervently.

"Our Dragon group members must let the martial arts community know our strength. Whoever achieves the best ranking is our Dragon group’s noble one," several Dragon group members discussed.

Before they realized it, seven days had passed since the Dragon group arrived at the North-South martial arts tournament. During this time, although members of the Dragon group had participated in the initial battles, their performance wasn’t outstanding, and they didn’t catch much attention.

They were far less impressive than Chen Taiji.

However, the members of the Dragon group weren’t worried. They always had their moments to shine, especially since they had Ye Qiu, who hadn’t yet stepped on the battle platform and had already defeated the Sixth Raven with ease. Besides, Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and Yuan Zongguang, three up-and-coming stars, had yet to make their moves. There were still many more highlights to come.

The Dragon group waited with bated breath, and sure enough, Si Ma’ao climbed onto the battle platform.

After ten consecutive battles and complete victories, Si Ma’ao’s performance garnered approval from many martial arts veterans who praised him highly.

After stepping off the battle platform, Si Ma’ao received applause from the Dragon group members who lauded him, "He truly is a master among the young generation of our Dragon group."

Si Ma’ao flashed a smug look, his eyes turned towards Ye Qiu as if provocatively saying, "You could try challenging too!"

Ye Qiu just smiled slightly, not minding Si Ma’ao’s arrogance. It was only the selection’s initial battle stage; the road was still long. Besides, Ye Qiu had no interest in comparing himself with this guy.

On the battle platform, fighters changed continuously, and various techniques were displayed. Ye Qiu wasn’t in a rush to enter the fray. He was constantly observing the actions of all the competing martial artists. This wasn’t a futile effort. While some might think that observing those weaker than him was a waste of time, only Ye Qiu knew that he aimed to discard their waste and extract their essence for his own use.

On the last day of the selection battle, Ye Qiu stepped onto the battle platform.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s face, the discussions around him heated up again.

This man who had defeated the Sixth Raven—who dared to challenge him?

Facing Ye Qiu, who had defeated Fang Lianping a few days earlier, the battle platform once again fell silent, and once more, no one stepped up to challenge him.

Seeing this scene, Si Ma’ao fell silent, his face immediately losing the smile it had borne just moments before.
