Chapter 315: 0314 Research Scholar (First Update)

"Mount Hua Summit?" Guan Mingyue asked blankly.

"Yes, indeed, it’s a martial arts competition spontaneously initiated by the people of Wulin, it’s a grand event in the martial arts world," Shangguan Dao explained.

Guan Mingyue’s eyes, cool and clear as the moon, sparkled with full interest as she could not help but ask, "Are there factions like the Mount Hua Sect, the Wudang Sect, or the Kongtong Sect there?"

Holding his temples between his fingers, Shangguan Dao, feeling a headache, said, "Aunt, the sects you mentioned are those from TV dramas, there aren’t so many martial arts schools in reality, they are all made up by some people."

"Oh," Guan Mingyue nodded, then looked up again and asked, "What about Yue Buqun, Dongfang Bubai, Linghu Chong?"

"They are also fake," Shangguan Dao directly said.

"What about Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng?" Guan Mingyue then asked.

"All fake, fictional characters." Facing such questions from Guan Mingyue, Shangguan Dao felt a headache even more severe than being punched by a True Qi Martial Artist.

Guan Mingyue felt somewhat disappointed, having hoped she could meet the legendary martial arts masters.

"My aunt, there really aren’t that many impressive characters, everything in TV dramas is deceptive," Shangguan Dao said. Ever since Guan Mingyue developed an interest in studying True Qi, she had also become fascinated by martial arts dramas, which led to her recent inquiries.

Seeing Guan Mingyue, Shangguan Dao thought she was disheartened by reality, but in a moment, her eyes emitted an even more intense glow. Grabbing Shangguan Dao’s sleeve, she said, "Xiao Dao, since those are all fake, quickly tell me what real martial arts masters are like? Are there any who are even more powerful than you?"

Excited, Guan Mingyue listened as Shangguan Dao sighed and said, "Of course, there are. I am only at the Vigor State, naturally stronger ones are in the True Qi State, or even higher realms of Martial Artists. The power of a Martial Artist, although not as bizarre as depicted in films, is still extraordinary and not to be underestimated."

Shangguan Dao’s words won Guan Mingyue’s approval. Though she was not familiar with Wulin, her deep research into the history of China made her well-versed with historical figures.

"In that case, those ancient seekers of longevity were not all fictitious; perhaps there’s some truth to it," Guan Mingyue said with a serious look, her interest in the unique community of Wulin growing even more.

"Let’s go, let’s set off," Guan Mingyue said after pondering for a while.

"But..." Shangguan Dao hesitated, only to be interrupted immediately by Guan Mingyue, who said, "There’s no buts. If you dawdle any longer, the martial arts tournament will be over!"

...

The strength displayed by Li Futu was still silently disturbing many people’s minds.

The reason Jian Wushuang was defeated wasn’t that his strength wasn’t great enough, but because he faced an opponent even stronger than him.

Jian Wushuang’s loss was justified. If one must lament his loss, it would be better to say he chose the wrong target to challenge.

As the first among the Ten Owls to succeed in his challenge, Zuo Nan not only regained his strength but also observed the battle, immediately harboring wariness towards Li Futu.

Sitting there, not knowing what he was thinking.

After this challenge, the remaining challenging martial artists hesitated to initiate another challenge for a while.

Both Zuo Nan and Li Futu had demonstrated formidable capabilities. The challengers were eager to compete, but it seemed that the strength of these two was somewhat daunting; and to think of challenging any of the more prominent Ten Owls, they were even less confident.

Several martial artists harbored this thought, yet there were a few who didn’t share this sentiment, as they had supreme confidence in their own capabilities.

What of the Ten Owls, they are merely people who gained fame earlier than them.

Perhaps due to various considerations, no one initiated a challenge for a while, allowing more time for Zuonan and Li Futu to recover.

"This Li Futu’s strength has more than doubled since the last time we fought!" said Fang Yizhou, the seventh of the top ten warriors, his voice ringing out clearly as they were all not far from each other.

"Very strong," Fang Lianping, the sixth warrior, uttered two words.

"Compared to the guy who defeated you, who is stronger?" Fang Yizhou’s words immediately drew a murderous intent from Fang Lianping; the seventh warrior dared to mock him so blatantly. Fang Lianping said indifferently, "What, you want to challenge me?"

"I want to try. Over these three years, not only has Li Futu improved a lot, I have also been busy. Aside from those few guys, who doesn’t covet the position of the sixth warrior?" Fang Yizhou said calmly, ending with a laugh.

"Heh, I await your challenge," Fang Lianping sneered. This Fang Yizhou, having been defeated by him years ago, probably had long harbored thoughts of a rematch. Although he had lost to Ye Qiu, it was only due to carelessness. As for a serious fight, the outcome was still debatable.

At this moment, Duan Zhen, the eighth warrior, seemingly ignored the dispute between the two, his main concern now was retaining his position among the top ten warriors, "It seems a tough battle awaits."

This top ten warriors challenge, even if the current challenger didn’t pick him, Li Futu would probably challenge him.

Duan Zhen had a premonition that his situation was about to become dire.

However, this worry only flickered through his mind before dissipating. Having trained in martial arts for many years, he knew the importance of mindset and naturally would not lose his fighting spirit due to this worry. As for his current position as the eighth warrior, he wouldn’t relinquish it easily.

Members of the Dragon Group observed that each of the top ten warriors held the aura of a martial arts master. Until now, only one Zuonan had succeeded in a challenge, and he was also the one they resented the most.

"I wonder if Mu Chujian can defeat any of them. I don’t know whom he will challenge. Ah, why do all these guys feel like monsters? They’re not much older than us, yet their strength is terrifyingly formidable," a member of the Dragon Group sighed.

"Mu Chujian probably doesn’t stand much chance, especially since even Si Ma’ao fell here," someone said.

Si Ma’ao had already woken up, and these words made his teeth itch with frustration, as he indeed had been beaten severely and was still in extreme pain. Even if people mentioned this topic, he still kept a dark expression on his face.

The Dragon Group member who brought up the topic, seeing the looks from others, immediately shut his mouth, giving an embarrassed smile.

As for Mu Zhige, Lin Wurou, Li Xiaohu, and others, they were more expectant of Ye Qiu’s move. The Dragon Group’s strength couldn’t match up in the martial world; without Ye Qiu, the Dragon Group present might not even have had any hope.

All members of the Dragon Group felt this acutely. The term "martial world" might seem simple, but after experiencing today’s North–South Martial Arts Convention, all members of the Dragon Group realized that the martial world was indeed a gigantic entity, filled with numerous unparalleled experts.

Only at the Martial Arts Convention did they understand the saying, "There’s always someone better."

This also served as a wake-up call for some arrogant members of the Dragon Group. In front of ordinary people, they were powerful members of the Dragon Group, but in front of true martial arts masters, they were insignificant.

...

After speeding in a luxury car for four hours, they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.

A man and a woman got out of the car, attracting much attention, especially Shangguan Mingyue, who wore sunglasses and casual clothes exuding a natural beauty that caused many men to stop and gaze. Shangguan Mingyue gently took off her glasses and said, "So this is Mount Hua, are we heading to the summit?"

Shangguan Dao nodded.

There wasn’t much Shangguan Dao could do about his aunt who suddenly claimed to be a scholar. Although the North–South Martial Arts Convention wasn’t particularly dangerous, Shangguan Dao had initially preferred not to have Shangguan Mingyue accompany him, but given his junior status, he had no choice but to obey.

"Let’s go," Shangguan Mingyue said enthusiastically, pulling Shangguan Dao toward the path up Mount Hua. Only the men who were left fantasizing about her silhouette remained.
