The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
On top of Rock Peak, a verse echoed: "Thousands of rivers and streams converge into a bridge, blood spills and flesh flies, leaving only bones in the air. Countless heroes remain silent; today we still look at the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh." A Red Skeleton appeared coldly, then gathered all its true energy to unleash a powerful palm strike towards the Test Stone, hitting the center of the Test Stone precisely. However, the Test Stone remained unmoved and unharmed. The palm energy of the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh was absorbed by the Test Stone as if it were a mud cow entering the sea. Then the Test Stone emitted a sound: "Four inches into the stone, cultivation level equal."
The Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh was furious: "What is this? How infuriating, to be equal!" It prepared to strike the Test Stone again, but due to overexertion from its own power, it triggered the residual force from Shatter Bones, Leave No Corpse within its skeleton, causing its ribs to gradually begin to shatter. At this moment, the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh was in excruciating pain and immediately focused its energy to suppress it. The Test Stone then spoke: "Incompetent fool, how dare you show off your skills before me?" It released a wave of energy that struck the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh with the same move it had just executed. The Red Skeleton was instantly shattered, and the broken bones slowly disappeared; the Skeleton could no longer reassemble. The Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh was killed by its own move—this was truly self-inflicted retribution. After a lifetime spent striving to restore its human form, the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh could finally cease this endless pursuit today; ultimately, the Red Skeleton was drowned in this cruel history of martial arts.
Qiu Yuxia visited Ming Kong Residence today for a first-time duel between two of the Five Great Swordsmen of the Martial World: Sword God and Sword Immortal. Huangfu Mingmo struck first with his renowned move, One Sword to Level the Field, releasing an aura that shook mountains and rivers. Although Qiu Yuxia was a woman, she did not fall behind men and elegantly countered with Sword Rising to the Wind and Clouds; in an instant, winds surged and clouds gathered, coloring the sky. The two sword energies collided, creating Radiance that caused mountains to crumble; neither side gained an advantage. Qiu Yuxia quickly leaped closer to Huangfu Mingmo for a close-range attack; seeing this, Huangfu Mingmo spun his sword hilt and unleashed several waves of sword energy to fend her off. Qiu Yuxia unleashed a powerful palm strike that dispersed his sword energy, bringing them into close combat; in an instant, sparks flew brilliantly.
After hundreds of exchanges in their fierce battle, neither side could claim victory. At this moment, Qiu Yuxia soared into the air, executing her peak sword move, One Sword Returns to One; suddenly, surrounding air currents swirled around her to form a massive energy sword that dove down towards Huangfu Mingmo. Without hesitation, Huangfu Mingmo simultaneously unleashed his peak sword move, One Sword Transforms into Nine Thousand; nine thousand streams of sword energy surged towards One Sword Returns to One's edge. In that instant, brilliance dazzled as energies burst forth, devastating everything around them; both were sent flying dozens of feet away by their energies. Still, they remained evenly matched. After their ultimate moves, only devastation remained.
At this time, Huangfu Mingmo said: "Stop! My friend, look at what my Ming Kong Residence has become—this is your gift for our meeting?"
Qiu Yuxia replied: "I truly apologize; I got too carried away. I will take responsibility for cleaning this place up."
Huangfu Mingmo responded: "I’m just laughing; my friend need not take it seriously."
Qiu Yuxia said: "In this battle, your foundation has strengthened considerably; it’s likely you will surpass Sword Saint soon."
Huangfu Mingmo replied: "You are not far behind either. However, I truly look forward to battling Murong Mulong."
At Murong Manor during the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage, the focus match of Round Three featured Blade One against A Brush of Ink Zhang Qian. Blade One knew well that Zhang Qian's illusionary paintings were formidable; he launched an aggressive attack without giving Zhang Qian any chance to breathe. Zhang Qian spun his brush rapidly in response. As both exchanged moves back and forth, Zhang Qian's brush had been trimmed down by Blade One's knife strike until only the brush handle remained. Unable to use his illusions anymore, defeat loomed for Zhang Qian. At this moment, Blade One executed his knife technique—One Slash Breaks Thousands—and Zhang Qian braced himself to take it head-on but found himself helpless against such overwhelming knife energy that sent him off the Arena. Blade One continued on as a dark horse into the next round.
Yi Junsheng remarked: "This Blade One is truly clever; he attacked from the start without giving the painter any chance to catch his breath."
Sanwei Daoist said: "Yi Junsheng, you are about to face Hua Mulan; what trick will you use this time?"
Yi Junsheng: "Of course, it relies on my good friend's head being turned upside down."
Reverse Head replied: "Are you plotting against me again?"
Yi Junsheng said: "With your head turned upside down, let's discuss this. Don't you want that Famous Sword? If you help me win the beauty, the Famous Sword will belong to you, and I only want the beauty."
Reverse Head hesitated: "This... this."
Yi Junsheng continued: "You need to think it through; that's the Famous Sword we're talking about."
Reverse Head made a decisive choice and said: "Alright, when the time comes for you to take the stage, I'll use Soul Transfer to help you fight Hua Mulan."
Yi Junsheng said: "You've made the right choice."
The second match of the third round featured All-Round Talent · Zhuge Kongming against Thief · Sai Shichien. Zhuge Kongming was considered the favorite to win the championship, and Sai Shichien did not dare to be careless. Sai Shichien took the initiative and began attacking, using Thief techniques to maneuver around Zhuge Kongming. Moments later, all of Zhuge Kongming's weapons had been stolen by Sai Shichien, leaving him to fight with bare hands. With the advantage on his side, Sai Shichien started firing multiple arrows using the crossbow he had stolen from Zhuge Kongming. However, Zhuge Kongming was not an easy opponent; he dodged continuously and then countered with a move called Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse, striking at Sai Shichien. Hit by the energy from the palm strike, Sai Shichien spat out blood on the spot and was severely injured, unable to continue fighting. Zhuge Kongming successfully advanced to the next round.
Leaving Rock Peak, Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si arrived once again at the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, where he encountered Time Master. The two met with intense hostility. However, despite being century-old enemies with deep hatred for each other, neither could take the other's life at that moment. Seeing Time Master's injuries, Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si laughed heartily and said: "I never expected that we would both die under the same Demonic Arts."
Time Master replied: "Are you implying that you were also injured by a Demon resembling Dao Rulai?"
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si said: "Indeed, this kind of Demon appeared after Dao Rulai's death."
Surprised, Time Master asked: "Dao Rulai is already dead? Then what connection does this Demon have with Dao Rulai?"
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si said, "Perhaps he is Dao Rulai, the corrupted Dao Rulai. Did he not take revenge on those who surrounded and attacked him?"
Time Master replied, "Regardless, I will let Divine Doctor examine the injuries first before making any plans."
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si responded, "There is no need for that; the method of healing is the stone on Test Stone at Rock Peak."
Time Master said, "Doesn't that mean there is no hope?"
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si replied, "You could say that."
Time Master stated, "The only plan now is to find the Sword Saint and ask for his help."
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si asked, "What can we do once we find him? Will he be willing to help?"
Time Master suggested, "We can offer a trade."
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si said, "I will instruct my subordinates to search. If we survive this, it is time to settle our grievances as well."
Time Master responded, "That sounds good; I look forward to it."
The third round of the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage, the most anticipated battle, featured Yi Junsheng against the cross-dressing Hua Mulan. Before the match, Reverse Head used Soul Transfer, placing his soul in Yi Junsheng. As Hua Mulan wielded her spear to attack, Yi Junsheng surprisingly used a strange weapon—a giant pair of scissors—to defend himself. After several exchanges, Yi Junsheng began to show signs of defeat due to the overwhelming burden on his body. The soul of Reverse Head, while in Yi Junsheng, was not able to execute moves smoothly since it was not his original body. After a few more exchanges, Hua Mulan knocked Yi Junsheng off the Arena. This marked Yi Junsheng's first appearance in a match ending in failure.
Frustrated by his defeat, Yi Junsheng exclaimed, "You reversed-head! Did you really use all your strength?"
Reverse Head said: "I'm not used to using your body, but I've tried my best. You can't blame me." Yi Junsheng cried loudly: "Is it destined to miss beauty in this life?"

Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light has extraordinary strength and infinite power; while Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword has a strong foundation and fast speed. The two men were equally matched and inseparable. This battle was the same as the first round battle between Tao Yuanliang and Du Fu. After several hours, there was still no winner. At this time, both of them were helpless. At this time, the referee Murong Sui called a stop and suggested that the Martial Arts Community at the scene vote to decide who will advance to the next round, and both of them agreed. Then Murong Sui said: "If you think Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword should advance to the next round, please raise your hands." More than 60% of Martial Arts Community raised their hands, and Murong Sui immediately Announced: "Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword advances to the next round." Yi Junsheng said: "How can this stupid Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light agree to the voting decision? This is not to kick yourself out. ?" Sanwei Daoist said; "If you don't vote, what will you do?" Yi Junsheng said: "Of course it is decided by drawing lots, so there is at least half a chance of advancement, and he will definitely lose by voting." Sanwei Daoist said: "How do you know that by voting he will definitely lose?" Yi Junsheng said: "Sanmei Daoist, such a stupid question comes from you, I am ashamed of you. Just let the student know. , do you think there are more people practicing swords or mallets in the Martial Arts Community?" Sanwei Daoist said: "Of course there are more people practicing swords, and those practicing hammers include Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light Two people." Yi Junsheng Yun: "That's right. Who else practices sword fighting in today's martial arts community? Sixty percent of the people present in the Martial Arts Community are sword practitioners, so they all voted for it. Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword, and knife practitioners account for 30%. It is impossible for these 30% to vote for Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword, but this does not mean that they will vote for Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light , they are likely to abstain. There is a mallet practitioner at the scene, and this person will definitely vote for Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light, so this Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light is very likely to get the vote. There is only one vote, which is less than the number of Tao Yuanming in the first round.”
Sanwei Daoist said, "It seems all of this is just your wild speculation, right?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "Although I lack the talent for strategic planning, I do have some analytical ability."
Yi Junsheng continued, "I have decided to leave this sorrowful place to find my brother One Piece of Paper." Both Sanwei Daoist and Reverse Head expressed their curiosity about what kind of person A Piece of Paper is and left Murong Manor with Yi Junsheng.
