Xin Xiaoyue was chosen by the Hanchi Sect at the age of twelve and was accepted as a disciple. However, martial arts was only one of her hobbies. At that time, she was bent on becoming a screenwriter. The next best thing would be to become a car racer. Therefore, she followed the usual routine of middle school and high school and entered the Capital Film and Television Academy. Before she graduated, she was favored and became the assistant of a famous screenwriter, helping him to complete a clichéd drama.
This allowed her to make great strides in her career as a screenwriter. However, the subsequent developments were not satisfactory. A few independent TV series flopped and she had a falling out with her "mentor". She was almost forced to live in the basement of the Capital. Only then did she remember that she was a Professional Ninth Pin martial artist. She had to change her job and change her mood.
Perhaps because she had seen and experienced it, she focused on martial arts and was ten times more passionate than before. At the age of twenty-four, she barely entered the Dan stage. She quit her job and returned to the Hanchi Sect to train hard. At the age of twenty-eight, she surprised her teachers and fellow disciples by transforming her root pulp and becoming an Inhuman.
Until now, no one believed that she could make the great leap. She only reached Fourth Pin at the age of thirty and was close to Physical Invulnerability. This further proved everyone's point of view. In this environment where there was no pressure and no attention, she pasted posters of Liang Yifan all over her room. She did not give up and did not turn to enjoy life.
More than a year later, in the title competition, she met her idol in the first round. Under the terrifying pressure and the threat of defeat, she shone with unprecedented brilliance and connected the heavens and earth.
She lost the competition, but on the path of martial arts, Xin Xiaoyue took a crucial step forward, breaking the expectations of the Hanchi Sect and even the Wuyue Society.
This late-bloomer Mighty One had an interesting personality. Her favorite thing to do was to ridicule herself. For example, because of her flat chest, her Weibo nickname was "Xin Family's Washboard". For example, she stood on the shoulders of her predecessors and successfully integrated some of the martial arts of the Death Sect into the Ice Sect, allowing some of the slower secret arts of the latter to explode with power quickly. When she was called "Deadly Cold", she self-deprecated "Frozen Dumplings" …
It had always been difficult to practice two supreme arts at the same time. The further one progressed, the more difficult it became. For example, certain moves of the Plague Sect required a corresponding force to drive them in order to unleash their full power. However, under the premise that one mainly practiced the Wind Sect or other arts, one would not be able to cultivate another force unless one did not want to transform one's root pulp and become an inhuman.
Of course, there was a new method at the moment, and that was Lou Cheng's Dao of the Universe and Stars, the path of Dan formation through balance.
Under such circumstances, cultivators who had two or three Absolute Arts but could only cultivate one of them would inevitably feel unsatisfied. Thus, they began to explore other methods.
They searched for similarities and connections between the Cultivation methods, extracted the corresponding parts, and blended them into their own martial arts. In this regard, the Kongtong School had made remarkable achievements. After generations of exploration, they had finally integrated some of the unique skills of the Plague Sect into the Wind Sect, deriving many moves that were similar to biochemical weapons.
In other words, Ren Li could use the Wind Empress Force to unleash the Hidden Scent while only changing her visualization.
There were many similar attempts. Techniques that were similar in nature did not necessarily need to be mixed. For example, the force of the "Dark Sect" could allow the corresponding moves of the "Death Sect" and the "Plague Sect" to unleash about eighty percent of their power, and vice versa.
The Wuyue Society had a nearly complete set of the Ice Divine Arts (Ice Sect) and a part of the Secrets of Killing (Death Sect). Since its establishment, they had been exploring ways to use the former as a base and blend the latter. After several generations of Mighty Ones laying the groundwork, they had begun to see results in recent years.
First, it was the Clown Gu Jianxi who specialized in the Death Sect. With his extraordinary intuition, he blended a small portion of the Ice Sect's content in reverse. Subsequently, the Spear King Huang Ke and other Physical Invulnerability experts created their own moves.
When Xin Xiaoyue was at the Inhuman stage, she had come into contact with the relevant content and had many ideas. When she had made the great leap and possessed the strength, she finally mastered and perfected the blending. She lived up to her predecessors' hard work and the Lethal Chill lived up to its name.
Various rumors about his opponent flashed across his mind. Lou Cheng tilted his head and looked towards the seats of the Wuyue Society. First, he saw his senior sister, Shi Yuejian, who was smiling at him. Then, he saw the Clown Gu Jianxi whose reputation was about to overshadow that of the Spear King.
He had a hippie-like ponytail and various green tattoos on his neck and arms, including the famous Clown tattoo. What left the deepest impression on Lou Cheng was his pair of eyes that were filled with arrogance, stubbornness, and unwillingness to admit defeat.
According to statistics, in the past ten years, the Clown was the Martial Artist who had defeated the stronger martial artist the most times.
On this list, Lou Cheng was also listed. However, compared to Gu Jianxi, he was still lacking. He approved and liked the media's description of his opponent.
"Born in the darkness, my heart is strong!"
Looking away, Lou Cheng finally saw the Lethal Chill, Xin Xiaoyue. She looked to be in her twenties, with a well-proportioned body and wheat-colored skin. When she saw her opponent looking at her, she smiled and sent him a message.
"Aiyo, not bad!"
To this, Lou Cheng could only smile and nod. He had nothing to say.
…
At this moment, a small number of media outlets had already released the news.
"Battle between fellow disciples!"
"Lethal Chill VS Icefire Sky-shaking Roar!"
"Who is the coldest? Who is the coldest Martial Artist of this generation? "
"First battle after the Heavenly Son of China made the great leap!"
…
In Lou Cheng's fan forum, "A Lot of Cats" sent an emoji of a confused dog's head.
"Comparing their nicknames, if I were Lou Cheng, I would definitely choose Dog Leash …"
"Is it that bad? It has a wild sense of beauty! "replied" Bull Demon King "with a smirk.
"Unparalleled Dragon King" replied, "[Covering face and sighing expression] Why don't we pool our efforts and help him come up with a better nickname?"
"Let's not talk about this first. Both of them have just advanced and are Physical Invulnerability experts of the Ice Sect. Whatever Xin Xiaoyue knows, my idol knows too. What Xin Xiaoyue doesn't know, my idol knows too. Is this an opponent that will give him free points?" asked "Brahman" happily.
Unparalleled Dragon King answered seriously, "Not really. I heard that Xin Xiaoyue's' Fatal Chill 'is very powerful, and she hasn't used it many times yet. It hasn't been analyzed and deciphered by the outside world yet.
"Besides, it hasn't been three months since Lou Cheng broke through. If he only trains in the Ice Sect or the Fire Sect, it won't be a problem for him to get started. If he trains in both, I suspect he still has moves he hasn't mastered."
"Let's not talk about these useless things. Anyway, he'll definitely win! Brahman, Brahman, you've become more mature after high school. You're not so childish anymore! "teased" Eternal Nightfall "Yan Xiaoling after seeing that the result of the draw was good.
"Yeah, unlike a certain someone, who's still doing things the same way!" "Brahman" began to expose Yan Xiaoling's dark history. "Yesterday, when I dyed my hair, I actually dyed it green!"
"That's not true! I wanted to dye it brown, but … "Yan Xiaoling recalled yesterday. She was at a loss as to who she was, where she was, and what she had done.
"Unparalleled Dragon King" was shocked. "This is the first time I've seen someone voluntarily dye their hair green."
"No problem. Forgiveness is popular this year!" Said "Okamoto's Fan". "Oh no, I thought Lou Cheng would definitely win, but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, I'll definitely forgive him when the time comes!"
"Wah, you guys, cry out loud. I really only wanted to dye it brown …" replied Yan Xiaoling, feeling wronged.
I just didn't look carefully when I was choosing …
And the guy who dyed my hair was very handsome and gentle. I was busy peeking at him …
"Yeah, yeah. How can you call Cao's embarrassing actions stupid?" said "A Lot of Cats", imitating Kong Yiji's tone.
For a moment, everyone was laughing loudly. The forum was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. They almost forgot that Lou Cheng's "first" physical invulnerability battle was coming up.
…
At the end of the banquet, some were happy and some were sad about the results of the draw. Peng Leyun and Ren Li were lucky enough to be matched against third-pin opponents.
At the end of the banquet, Lou Cheng stood up and walked towards the Wuyue Club. His Senior Sister had arrived late and didn't even greet him.
Shi Yuejian was waiting in her seat. Seeing him approaching, she smiled gently and said to him,
"I've heard from my dad that you and Ren Li joined hands and killed two physical invulnerability experts. This isn't your first physical invulnerability battle, so don't worry about you."
She had a peaceful temperament. Although she loved martial arts, she didn't like to compete with others, let alone sharpen herself in life-or-death battles. So far, she hadn't killed anyone. This might be the reason why she was stuck at third-pin.
As for the "martial arts fanatic" Guo Jie, she wasn't very talented. She only managed to make the great leap by relying on the word "fanatic". After four years, she finally touched the edge of second-pin.
"That's because the right time, place and people were there," Lou Cheng replied humbly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Shi Yuejian reminded him seriously,
"You must be careful of Xiaoyue's Fatal Chill."
Senior Sister's tone sounds like the Fatal Chill is more powerful than I expected? Lou Cheng nodded seriously and said,
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister."
After parting ways, he returned to the hotel with the rest of the Longhu Club. He entered the room and chatted with Yan Zheke, who occasionally took time out during class, about the opening battle tomorrow afternoon.
"How was it? Are you confident? "Yan Zheke knew that Lou Cheng must have been watching Xin Xiaoyue's battle videos from the past year.
"Uh, in short, I'll give it my all!" Lou Cheng expressed his thoughts.
He even looked up Xin Xiaoyue's battle videos from the past few years, trying to determine the situation of the Fatal Chill from the fusion of the Ice Sect and Death Sect techniques.
"Yeah, yeah. [Nodding like a chick pecking at rice]" Yan Zheke added, "Aiya, I'm so angry! Why is the battle in the afternoon? I can't even watch it! "
It's the middle of the night!
"It's fine. It's not like you'll be eliminated if you lose. Besides, she has surprises, so do I." Lou Cheng comforted his wife.
"Alright … [Pointing at her fingers expression]" Yan Zheke replied.
…
The next afternoon, 2: 55 pm, Connecticut time, 1: 55 am.
A sharp sound rang and Yan Zheke was jolted awake from her dream. She was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what time it was.
She turned off the alarm on her phone, rubbed her face, and ran to the bathroom with unsteady steps. She splashed her face with cold water and was completely awake.
Taking out her tablet, she leaned against the pillow, found the live streaming website and started buffering.
After a while, she saw the "battlefield" on Jiangxin Island, the spectators on the surrounding ships, and Lou Cheng in his navy blue martial arts suit, standing opposite Xin Xiaoyue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the opening match of this year's Master Competition is about to begin. Lou Cheng from Longhu Club will be facing Xin Xiaoyue from Wuyue Club. They are both third-pin Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones!"
As the commentator's voice drilled into her ears, Yan Zheke's lips curled into a smile.
…
On the River Heart Island, shouts of "Lou Cheng" and "Lou Cheng" faintly reverberated around.
"Pretty popular," Xin Xiaoyue complimented with a smile.
She was more than 30 meters away from Lou Cheng, but with each other's hearing, they could hear each other clearly if they spoke a little louder. Of course, it would also be recorded clearly by the broadcast.
Lou Cheng was about to reply when the referee raised his right hand and waved it down.
"Conversation time starts now!"
He was a little further away and planned to walk to the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment, Xin Xiaoyue spoke with great interest.
"I heard you can withstand negative 130 degrees for quite a long time?"
"Let's talk about it later." Lou Cheng smiled and started to prepare for visualization.
Xin Xiaoyue watched in bewilderment until a faint purple fireball formed around her opponent and spun in an oval shape.
Is this "Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun"? Xin Xiaoyue made an accurate judgment, but the doubts in her heart grew.
Didn't they say that maintaining the "Five Flames" was very mentally taxing and was a huge burden on the body?
Didn't they say that Longhu Club's Physical Invulnerability experts would only use this move in a fight where they couldn't separate from each other, so that they wouldn't waste their energy if they couldn't hit the enemy after accumulating it?
Why did Lou Cheng use it during conversation time?
Xin Xiaoyue and the audience stared blankly until five fireballs of light purple, golden yellow, blazing white, light blue, and crimson circled around Lou Cheng like satellites. They rotated in a stable and balanced manner, like gods descending upon the earth. Only then did Xin Xiaoyue open her mouth in shock and confusion.
"You can do this?"
