Chapter 680: Chapter 308 Fortuneteller

"Don’t underestimate the Martial Arts Tournament,"

It’s true that the gold content of the Martial Arts Tournament champion isn’t what it used to be,

but out of the top hundred this time, there are still about thirty Martial Artists who’ve reached the Martial Arts Limit."

Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, Yang Shan couldn’t help but retort.

"Thirty... Are they as strong as you?" Qi Yuan pondered. "The champion of the last tournament, were they a match for you?"

Qi Yuan was conflicted.

What if the opponents in this Martial Arts Tournament were too strong?

If he couldn’t win with martial arts alone, what then?

Should he... cheat?

After all, playing games, a little cheating doesn’t count as cheating.

Moreover, no one would be able to tell if he cheated.

Then Qi Yuan hadn’t cheated.

Bold and upright, with integrity.

"The one from the last tournament..." Yang Shan’s eyes revealed a smug smile, "was a fifty-fifty split with me."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He really hadn’t cheated, and there was no need to.

"If this session is just as weak as the last, winning the championship will be a breeze for me.

Looks like I don’t need to cheat after all!"

"Are you underestimating me, kid?

What do you mean by my level being weak?" Yang Shan couldn’t help but speak out, thinking Qi Yuan’s mouth truly deserved a beating.

What was he saying?

Even if one is proud, one shouldn’t boast with such low emotional intelligence.

"Ah, now I finally understand the loneliness of being ’unbeatable’ or ’unparalleled’.

The loneliness of being invincible in the world is indeed profound."

Qi Yuan’s voice was moved, with the air of a disenchanted noble son, a proud lone swordsman.

This sort of temperament, which he couldn’t help but radiate, momentarily stupefied Yang Shan, inexplicably convincing him of Qi Yuan’s words.

But he still stubbornly said, "Lonely brother, let’s see how lonely you get at this Martial Arts Tournament!"

...

Above there’s Star Sea, below there’s Lantai.

Longtai City belongs to Qin Yuan Nation’s rising first-tier cities.

This city, famous for its Instagram-worthy travel destinations, receives swarms of tourists annually.

Actually, it is a powerhouse in industry.

This year’s Martial Arts Tournament is held in Lantai City.

Lantai City, located in the northern part of Qin Yuan Nation, was once one of the two capitaIs during the dynasty era above Qin Yuan Nation.

This capital was known as Martial Capital, the city of Martial Capital.

Legend has it that during the Tianna Dynasty, three thousand Martial Artists gathered in Lantai to hold a Martial Arts Conference in search of ways to break through the Martial Arts Limit.

Three thousand Martial Artists discussed and debated on Martial Arts, together exploring the essence of Martial Arts.

There’s a rumor that Luo Bufan, the leader of Martial Arts, had an epiphany during the conference and broke through the Martial Arts Limit.

Suddenly, a lotus flower appeared above his head, and he ascended into the void.

This is also the most recent recorded instance of breaking through the Martial Arts Limit documented in text.

In the land of Qin Yuan Nation, transcending the Martial Arts Limit has been a millennia-old challenge.

Walking on the streets of Lantai, longing flashed in Yang Shan’s eyes: "For a Martial Artist, Martial Cloud Pavilion is the most famous.

On Martial Cloud Pavilion, the traces left by thousands of Martial Artists from ancient to modern times with their own strength can be seen.

If one is immensely talented, by observing the marks on Martial Cloud Pavilion, they might be able to glimpse the true meaning of these Martial Artists’ ways.

The last person from our Qin People to ascend through Martial Arts, Luo Bufan, also left his mark on Martial Cloud Pavilion.

After our tests are over, should we go take a look?"

This time, their destination is the Martial Arts Alliance branch in Longtai City.

Longtai City is also the venue for the Martial Arts Tournament.

Therefore, if Qi Yuan wants to attend the national competition of the Martial Arts Tournament as an exception, he needs to go through a special channel."

"Hmm... No problem, I’d like to see those ancient traces myself.

And that Luo Bufan, quite interesting," Qi Yuan responded.

"Alright, let’s go; that building ahead is the branch of the Martial Arts Alliance.

However, we’ll have to wait in line for a bit as there are quite a few people here today.

These people will one day be the leading figures in the world of Martial Arts. If you’re thinking of making your way in the Martial Arts world, you might want to get to know them."

"Looks like they’ll all be old rivals then? I, Qi Bubai, can’t be bothered to get acquainted," Qi Yuan said, self-proclaimed as unbeatable.

The Martial Arts Tournament isn’t just one he needs to attend.

Thus, those who don’t win the championship will continuously be his opponents as it goes on.

"This young fellow is interesting, coming here at such a young age, it seems you’re just like me, one of the rare few in this world," as the voice came, a young man dressed in garish clothes with hair styled like a rooster’s comb approached.

He appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six, and his strength was already at the Martial Arts Limit.

Seeing the newcomer, a serious look flickered in Yang Shan’s eyes: "Northern Crane, Han Xianyun!"

"I didn’t expect my reputation to precede me this much," the rooster-comb haired young man said with a smile.

Northern Crane Han Xianyun’s name was also familiar to Qi Yuan.

In the Martial Arts world, there are two unrivaled talents hailed as the most likely to break the Martial Arts Limit.

They are known as Southern Lion and Northern Crane.

Both in their twenties, they’ve already reached the Martial Arts Limit.

Southern Lion not only has a lofty realm but also possesses formidable fighting power.

Just last year, he challenged the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament and lost by only one move.

This time, the hottest contender for the Martial Arts Tournament championship is Southern Lion.

As for Northern Crane... he’s the second choice.

Qi Yuan gave Northern Crane Han Xianyun an odd look: "You should change your hairstyle."

Han Xianyun was taken aback and then with a smile in his eyes, he asked, "Are you saying my hairstyle isn’t glamorous enough?

Kid, if we meet in the Martial Arts Tournament, you can kick me where it hurts, but don’t mess up my hair."

Han Xianyun was incredibly flamboyant, speaking with a shocking frankness.

"Your hairstyle is glamorous, but it doesn’t suit you," Qi Yuan said flatly.
