The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Northern Martial Arts In the depths of the dense forest, Verse resounded:
The Dragon and Human unite to shake the universe,
Right and wrong are determined by our Lord.
With a wave of the hand and a snap of the fingers,
Stepping forth, one is seen as extraordinary.
Half-Dragon Leader of the Half-Beasts appeared coldly. Seeing his kin, Half-Bear Man, in a state of severe suffering, he unleashed the signature move, Flying Dragon in Anger. Instantly, the surrounding air currents surged rapidly, forming a swirling air dragon in the sky, which then struck towards Nightmare Demon with the force of thunder. Faced with this attack, Nightmare Demon did not dare to be careless; he activated Magic Technique · Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left with his left hand, while using the demonic technique · Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels with his right. The two techniques combined unleashed an overwhelming force that shook the forest and silenced the animals. As their moves collided, the ground sank several feet, and all surrounding trees were destroyed. Surprisingly, Nightmare Demon's dual techniques fell short; Half-Dragon's strike pushed Nightmare Demon back several dozen feet, causing him to spit out Crimson, severely injured.
At this moment, Half-Dragon pressed the advantage and executed his renowned move · Divine Dragon's Tail. The air instantly formed a massive dragon tail that swept towards Nightmare Demon. Nightmare Demon flipped his hand to activate his technique, Demonic Arts · Slay Soul Without Harming Spirit, unleashing a force that shook mountains and swallowed the earth. As their techniques clashed again, Nightmare Demon suffered once more, being blasted away over a mile, spitting out half a liter of fresh blood and sustaining serious injuries. To avenge his kin, Half-Dragon swiftly flew to where Nightmare Demon was sent flying and continued his fierce assault. Half-Dragon declared: "Wretched Demon, I have come to end your suffering." Each strike was ruthless and merciless. With previous injuries weighing him down, Nightmare Demon found himself overwhelmed and unable to defend against further attacks, accumulating more wounds as his situation became increasingly precarious. Just then, a surge of palm energy struck from behind Half-Dragon, who turned to block it. In that instant, Nightmare Demon seized the opportunity to retreat. Seeing this, Half-Dragon exclaimed: "Damn it! Who unleashed that palm?" He then left the dense forest.
Today, Liu Ling Tavern was bustling with voices as many from the Martial Arts Community gathered. Figures such as Zhuge Kongming, Sima Qian, Fan Buzhao, Hua Mulan, Reverse Head, Du Fu, Eastern Proud Dragon, Sun Simiao, Tang Xuan Zhuang, and Zhan Zhao, among others, were all present. Just as everyone was engaged in lively discussions, Sanwei Daoist arrived carrying the barely conscious Yi Junsheng. Upon seeing this, Reverse Head asked: "Yi Junsheng, how did you end up like this?"
Yi Junsheng responded astonishingly: "For this drinking competition, I have been starving for five days and nights; this time I must win the championship."
Reverse Head questioned in confusion: "Isn't this a Drunken Wine Competition? It's not about who has a bigger appetite; do you really think starving for so long will prevent you from getting drunk?"
Yi Junsheng replied: "I am so hungry that I'm dizzy and my stomach hurts; this time I will use wine as food; I absolutely will not get drunk."
Seeing Yi Junsheng, Eastern Proud Dragon felt hatred rising within him and swung an axe at him. At this moment, Zhuge Kongming, Sima Qian and others quickly intervened to stop him. Zhuge Kongming said: "This is the Liu Ling Tavern. Your personal grudges cannot be resolved here; please respect everyone present." Outnumbered and outmatched, Eastern Proud Dragon had no choice but to abandon his revenge. Just then, singing began: find a lovely dear beloved deeply loved person to bid farewell to loneliness.
A handsome young man entered slowly, accompanied by singing. This person was Jia Baoyu, the Romantic Talent. Dazed from hunger, Yi Junsheng said, "So it's you, the charming talent. This is the Drunken Wine Competition, not the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage. What are you doing here?"
Jia Baoyu replied, "A youth who is not charming is a waste of youth. I came here precisely because charm requires spending money. I am here for that Golden Pig, hahaha!"
Before Yi Junsheng could respond, two heavyweight figures entered. One was Jia Dao, known in the martial world as the Drunkard, and the other was Azure Lotus Cold Scholar Li Taibai, an old acquaintance of Poet Sect Leader Du Fu. Upon seeing Du Fu, Li Taibai's anger flared up like a raging fire. Li Taibai launched an attack, and Du Fu had no choice but to respond. Li Taibai's fury was intense, and his moves were exceptionally vicious. To maintain his composure, Du Fu endured and dodged, creating a situation fraught with danger. At this moment, Li Taibai unleashed his famous move: "Three Shadows with One Reflection." In an instant, Li Taibai transformed into two shadows and attacked Du Fu from different directions. Du Fu could only counter with his own famous move: "Three Gorges Star River Shadow," gathering strength as he prepared for Li Taibai's approach. When their signature moves clashed, both retreated a few steps. Just as they were about to unleash their ultimate techniques to finish each other off, a verse rang out:
"Buddha and Demon Cultivation Together is the Way,
Half Literary, Half Martial, Truly Extraordinary.
Countless Strategies Within,
Supreme Leader of the Martial World, Ren Xiaoyao."
The number one person in the martial world, Ming Lang Qian Kun Yi Zhangzhi stepped in and dispersed the battle with a single palm strike. Yi Zhangzhi said, "This is not a place to settle personal grudges. If you wish to continue fighting, please take it outside." Both Li Taibai and Du Fu realized that fighting here was indeed very disrespectful and decided to cease hostilities. Yi Junsheng curiously asked, "Li Bai, what exactly is your grudge with Du Fu that requires such animosity?"
Li Taibai replied, "This man Du Fu is hypocritical. Back in the day, he engaged in underhanded tactics to win the position of leader of the Poetry Sect and then eliminated rivals to expel me from the Poetry Sect. Don't you think we have deep-seated enmity?"
Du Fu immediately defended himself: "What qualifications does a traitor of the Poetry Sect have to speak here? I won the position of leader through legitimate means; it was you who couldn't accept it and wrote a poem against me. That’s why I expelled you from the Poetry Sect."
Yi Junsheng was astonished and said, "What? Li Bai was expelled from his sect just for writing a poem? Du Fu, that's where you're wrong! It was just a poem! Was it necessary to expel him? Isn't that personal revenge?"
Du Fu replied, "You don't understand; our first rule in the Poetry Sect is that disciples are not allowed to write poems. Li Taibai knowingly broke this rule. I merely followed the sect's regulations to expel him; what's wrong with that?"
Li Taibai countered, "So it's okay for you to engage in underhanded tactics but not for me to write poetry?"
Du Fu said, "Traitor, you have violated the rules and show no remorse, and you maliciously slander me. You are truly heinous!"
Just as the two were engaged in a war of words, the owner of Liu Ling Tavern, Liu Yi, stepped out and said, "All Liu Ling disciples, the Drunken Wine Competition is about to begin. I will now announce the rules. The competition consists of four rounds, and each participant must drink different types of wine. Anyone who cannot stand or vomits will be eliminated. The last person standing after four rounds will be the winner of this Drunken Wine Competition, and the Golden Pig will naturally belong to them."
Zhuge Kongming asked, "If there are multiple sober individuals after the fourth round, who will be crowned champion?"
Liu Yi replied, "Rest assured about that. I can guarantee that by the end of the third round, there will be fewer than five people who remain sober, hahaha. Now let’s start the first round; bring out the wine." Immediately, several jars of wine were brought out. Liu Yi continued, "In the first round, this wine is called Half-Day Drunk. This wine is rich and fragrant, comparable to fine wines. Each participant must finish a jar; those who remain sober will advance to the next round."
Everyone began drinking. Yi Junsheng felt weak all over and had to let Sanwei Daoist lift the jar and pour wine into his mouth. Hong Bagong and many beggars had already collapsed halfway through their drinks and were unconscious. Zhuge Kongming, Sima Qian, Hua Mulan, Reverse Head, Du Fu, Jia Baoyu, Zhan Zhao, Fan Buzhao, Tang Xuan Zhuang, and others managed to finish a jar with their slight martial arts foundation but were already feeling dizzy. Eastern Proud Dragon was determined to avenge his brother; finishing a jar of Half-Day Drunk was no problem for him, and he remained sober afterward. As for the drunkard Jia Dao and the wine lover Li Taibai, finishing a jar of Half-Day Drunk was as easy as eating a dish; both had incredible drinking capacity and breezed through the first round. Medicine King Sun Simiao had taken his newly developed medicine Never Drunk before drinking a jar of Half-Day Drunk as if it were plain water; he treated it as a cleanse for his stomach and also advanced smoothly. Hungry Yi Junsheng finally finished a jar of Half-Day Drunk; using wine as food helped him regain some strength while still feeling energetic enough to advance. Finally, the number one martial artist Yi Zhangzhi downed a jar of Half-Day Drunk in one go without changing color and also advanced smoothly.
Tavern owner Liu Yi announced, "After the first round, Zhuge Kongming, Sima Qian, Hua Mulan, Reverse Head, Du Fu, Jia Baoyu, Zhan Zhao, Fan Buzhao, Tang Xuan Zhuang, Eastern Proud Dragon, Jia Dao, Li Taibai, Sun Simiao, Yi Junsheng, and Yi Zhangzhi have advanced to the second round. In this second round, this wine is called Three Steps Down. This wine is extremely spicy; excessive consumption undoubtedly harms the body invisibly. Each person only needs to drink one cup and then take three steps; those who do not fall down will advance smoothly. Bring out the wine." Two servers brought out wine and distributed one cup to each person.
After everyone drank their cups, they took three steps. After three steps, Zhuge Kongming, Sima Qian, Hua Mulan, Du Fu, Jia Baoyu, Zhan Zhao, Fan Buzhao, Tang Xuan Zhuang fell instantly and lost consciousness. Eastern Proud Dragon was solely focused on revenge; he could not fall until he killed his enemy. This deep resolve supported his massive body; he refused to fall down because falling meant losing hope for revenge and an unending grudge. Eastern Proud Dragon barely made it through. The moment drunkard Jia Dao displayed his drunken prowess arrived; although his face was quite flushed from drinking too much wine, he was still not fully drunk. Li Taibai shouted loudly: "Let’s drink! Let’s drink! Don’t stop pouring!" as he entered the next round. The effects of Never Drunk were potent; Sun Simiao felt no intoxication at all and advanced without any doubt. Slightly recovered from hunger's impact on him during this challenge, Yi Junsheng also advanced smoothly. Yi Zhangzhi showed some signs of drunkenness on his face but still managed to enter the next round without issue.
Tavern owner Liu Yi continued: "After the second round, Eastern Proud Dragon, Jia Dao, Li Taibai, Sun Simiao, Yi Junsheng, and Yi Zhangzhi have advanced to the third round. In this third round, this wine is called Instant Collapse. This wine has a fragrant taste but lacks the richness of fine wines; it has effects similar to that of knockout drops. Each person only needs to drink one sip; those who do not fall down after drinking will advance. Bring out the wine." Following that instruction, six cups were brought out with only one sip in each.
After each of them took a cup and drank it down, Eastern Proud Dragon could no longer hold on; no matter how deep his resolve was or how determined he was for revenge—Instant Collapse was incredibly potent beyond compare—Eastern Proud Dragon succumbed and was eliminated from the competition. Drunkard Jia Dao could not escape elimination either; although his drinking capacity was immeasurable—Instant Collapse lived up to its name—drinking it all caused him to fall down too. Li Taibai did not fare any better; at the moment he fell down he exclaimed: "Wealth spent can be regained!" The effects of Medicine King Sun Simiao's Never Drunk reached their limit; although he felt slightly intoxicated—he still advanced smoothly. Yi Junsheng's face was swollen red; his body swayed as if spinning around but showed no signs of falling or vomiting—he barely made it through as well. Yi Zhangzhi used his inner energy to maintain clarity of mind; his solid foundation allowed him to advance despite showing some signs of drunkenness.
