Chapter 739: Chapter 331: Daily Life with the Goldfinch

The broadcast announcement surprised the martial artists gathered for the Martial Arts Tournament, leaving them bewildered and unsure of how to respond.

In the past, the viewing ratings for the Martial Arts Tournament were very low.

Eventually, the organizers introduced a segment before the matches where competitors could trash-talk each other.

The participants had a three-minute verbal sparring session on the stage.

This banter segment became the most popular and achieved the highest viewing ratings.

Moreover, many of the spectacular verbal battles were edited and uploaded to the internet.

Especially those who talked tough but ended up being beaten badly, when edited together, the drama was heightened, creating quite the amusement.

But now... "Promote civility, foster a new ethos," prohibits any trash-talking.

Are they no longer interested in the viewing ratings?

Which leader got their head caught in a door and comes up with one ridiculous idea after another?

"Ah? The world has been way too fantastical lately," Xing Yu couldn’t help but complain.

Recently in Qin Yuan Nation, all sorts of strange incidents have been happening.

Rumors of the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, accounts of a Sword Immortal decimating a military camp single-handedly, coupled with the voting incident, things have become increasingly chaotic.

In this context, "Promote civility, foster a new ethos" does not seem so absurd.

"Since the rule is set, we can only comply. Who are we to break the rules without the power to do so?" Wang Shiqiao, who had been silent, spoke up and stealthily glanced at Qi Yuan not far away.

Qi Yuan then said, "I actually think this official requirement is quite humane.

If everyone spoke politely, how many conflicts would be reduced, and the world would surely welcome love and peace."

Qi Yuan was speaking his heart out.

If everyone behaved civilly, where would be the need for him to exterminate entire families to foster world peace?

"We can’t speculate on the authorities’ intentions; we just follow the rules.

After all... we are only here to broaden our horizons, aren’t we?" Xu Tiehua said quite seriously this time.

At the city-level competition, he managed to achieve decent results.

In a national-level tournament, however, there was no point in thinking about it, for those who achieve significant victories are those at the Martial Arts Limit.

His abilities were still a good distance away from the Martial Arts Limit.

"Right, let’s follow the rules; I too am a law-abiding good citizen," Qi Yuan echoed in agreement.

Wang Shiqiao, who was not far away, heard this and remained silent.

Beheading people and offering their heads as gifts, is that what you call law-abiding?

Which good person beheads others?

"However, I have greater ambitions. I’m here to win the championship!" Qi Yuan said excitedly.

Now at the Jade Blood Realm, participating in the Martial Arts Tournament was like a grandfather fighting a grandson for him.

"Mr. Qi will definitely win the championship!" At that moment, Han Xianyun of Northern Crane approached, his face full of respect.

A while ago, a crisis struck Capital City, leading to the downfall of the Seven Martial Stars Clan’s Mu Family.

His elder brother was transferred to the Province Cabinet, and he himself was conferred an honorary Earl.

It could be said that he was riding on the crest of success.

He knew that all he had achieved was thanks to Qi Yuan’s grace.

He felt both respect and awe for Mr. Qi and that Ningtuo.

"Didn’t you previously think I couldn’t win the championship?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.

"The past is the past, and now is now," Han Xianyun said earnestly.

"You have vision. If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely introduce you to an awesome wife," Qi Yuan whispered.

Unfortunately, Han Xianyun couldn’t enter the World of Dead Qi, or rather, the Underworld.

Otherwise, Grandpa Huang from last time, as well as the Sea God, could have been introduced to Han Xianyun.

Hearing this, Han Xianyun had mixed emotions.

Before he could speak, a voice tinged with sarcasm came through.

"Han Xianyun, the championship of the Martial Arts Tournament is not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can win." The man who spoke was burly, and he had a tattoo on his face, clearly not someone to mess with, "To take the championship, it has to be a strong person like Southern Lion Zhang Yang!"

When Zhang Yang was mentioned, the tattooed man’s eyes showed awe.

On seeing this, Han Xianyun couldn’t help but laugh, "If you had said the champion would be you, I might have thought more highly of you.

Instead, you place your hopes on someone who has beaten you before. How interesting."

The tattooed man had fought with Southern Lion Zhang Yang before the Martial Arts Tournament and lost within three moves.

Since then, his will to fight had waned.

"Hmph, totally ignorant. You have no idea... even among those at the Martial Arts Limit, there are disparities.

If Zhang Yang had time, he would surely break the Martial Arts Limit, but it’s a pity..."

The tattooed man went on, his expression somewhat forlorn.

He, too, had heard the news that after winning the championship at this Martial Arts Tournament, Zhang Yang intended to leave the world of martial arts.

This event would be Zhang Yang’s farewell battle.

It was a pity that he would never see someone break through the Martial Arts Limit again.

After speaking, the tattooed man left with a wave of his sleeve.

At this, Xu Tiehua’s eyes grew wide, "Are you Northern Crane Han Xianyun? A Martial Arts Limit?"

As a martial artist, he had naturally heard of Southern Lion and Northern Crane.

This young man, who addressed Qi Yuan as Mr. Qi, was actually Northern Crane Han Xianyun?

And Qi Yuan...

A multitude of thoughts raced through his mind.

His gaze towards Qi Yuan changed once again.

The people from the Martial Arts Academy behind Xu Tiehua also started looking at Qi Yuan differently.

Qi Yuan had only been at Mingwu Martial Academy for several months.

According to Han Xianyun’s description, he was at least at the Martial Arts Limit.

Could it be that he truly was a peerless genius?

Han Xianyun chuckled, "Indeed, I am."

At this moment, Qi Yuan surveyed all the competing martial artists and couldn’t help but say, "So weak, it’s lonely being unbeatable."

Xing Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Qi Yuan, "Qi Yuan, even if you’re a peerless genius, you shouldn’t underestimate the people of this world."

In her heart, she also knew Qi Yuan was definitely a genius who had surpassed the Martial Arts Limit.

Nowadays, with all the strange occurrences, nothing seemed too far-fetched.

"I’m not underestimating them; I just hope they will push themselves harder.
