Chapter 331: Daily Life with the Golden Canary

The announcement over the loudspeaker left the martial artists gathered for the National Martial Arts Tournament in a state of surprise and bewilderment.

In previous years, the tournament had garnered low viewership.

Finally, the organizers added a pre-match taunting segment to boost interest.

During this segment, competitors on the arena had three minutes to exchange verbal jabs.

This segment became the most popular and highly-rated part of the tournament.

Many of the intense verbal battles were even edited and shared online, especially those with dramatic confrontations and devastating outcomes, providing great entertainment.

However, the recent "Promote Civilization and Set Good Examples" initiative had banned such taunting.

Was this a move to deliberately lower viewership?

Which leader had come up with such an absurd idea?

"Wow, this world is getting more and more surreal," Xing Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

Indeed, the Qin Yuan Kingdom had been experiencing all sorts of strange occurrences lately.

From rumors of spiritual energy resurgence to a sword immortal destroying a military camp with a single strike, and now the voting incident, things were becoming increasingly chaotic.

In this context, the "Promote Civilization and Set Good Examples" initiative didn't seem as far-fetched.

"Since this is the rule, we have no choice but to obey. Who are we to break the rules without the strength to do so?" Wang Shi Qiao, who had been silent until now, spoke up while stealing a glance at Qi Yuan, who was not far away.

Qi Yuan also chimed in, "I actually think this rule is quite humanistic.

If everyone practiced civility, imagine how much conflict would be reduced, and the world would welcome love and peace."

Qi Yuan spoke from the heart.

If everyone were civil, where would he find the need to intervene and annihilate entire families for the sake of world peace?

"We can't fathom the intentions of those above, so we just follow the rules.

Anyway... aren't we here to broaden our horizons?"

Xu Tie Hua spoke earnestly this time.

He was confident in achieving good results in the city-level competitions.

As for the national-level tournament, it was needless to say that only Martial Arts Limit Breakers could achieve outstanding battle records.

His strength was still far from reaching the Martial Arts Limit.

"Indeed, we should all follow the rules. I, too, am a law-abiding citizen," Qi Yuan echoed in agreement.

Wang Shi Qiao, not far away, heard this and fell silent.

Was beheading people and presenting their heads as gifts also considered law-abiding?

Who among the good people would do such a thing?

"However, I have aspirations. I came here with the goal of winning the championship!" Qi Yuan exclaimed enthusiastically.

Having already reached the Jade Blood Realm, participating in the Martial Arts Tournament was like a walk in the park for him.

Just then, Northern Crane Han Xian Kan Xian Yun approached, his face filled with reverence. "Mr. Qi will undoubtedly win the championship!"

Recently, the capital city had undergone a change, and the Mu Family, one of the Seven Stars Clans, had been annihilated.

His older brother had been promoted to the Provincial Council, and he himself had been bestowed the title of Honorary Earl.

One could say that he was riding high on success.

He knew that all of this was thanks to the blessings of Qi Yuan and Ning Tuo.

Towards Mr. Qi and Ning Tuo, he felt both respect and awe.

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

"The past is the past, and now is now," Han Xian Kan Xian Yun replied seriously.

"You have good taste. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely introduce you to a fantastic wife," Qi Yuan said softly.

Unfortunately, Han Xian Kan Xian Yun couldn't enter the Netherworld or the Underworld.

Otherwise, he could have introduced the previous Huang Deyi and Hai Shi to Han Xian Kan Xian Yun.

Han Xian Kan Xian Yun's heart raced upon hearing this.

Before he could respond, a slightly mocking voice interrupted.

"Han Xian Kan Xian Yun, the Martial Arts Tournament championship isn't something that just anyone can win." The speaker was a burly man with a tattoo on his face, clearly not someone to be trifled with. "To win the championship, you need a strong contender like Southern Lion Zhang Yang!"

Mentioning Zhang Yang, the tattooed man's eyes filled with reverence.

Seeing this, Han Xian Kan Xian Yun couldn't help but smile. "If you say the champion is you, I might even look up to you a bit.

But to pin your hopes on someone who has been defeated by you before, that's quite interesting."

The tattooed man had fought against Southern Lion Zhang Yang before the tournament and lost in just three moves.

From then on, his fighting spirit had waned.

"Hmph, you don't know your place. You have no idea that even among Martial Arts Limit Breakers, there are differences.

If Zhang Yang were given more time, he would surely break the Martial Arts Limit..."

The tattooed man's expression turned somewhat dejected as he spoke.

He had also received news that after Zhang Yang won the championship, he would retire from the Martial Arts world.

This would be Zhang Yang's final battle.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't have the chance to witness someone breaking the Martial Arts Limit.

The tattooed man finished speaking and left with a wave of his sleeve.

At that moment, Xu Tie Hua's eyes widened in surprise. "You're Northern Crane Han Xian Kan Xian Yun? A Martial Arts Limit Breaker?"

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

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

Qi Yuan...

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

His gaze towards Qi Yuan was different once more.

The martial artists behind Xu Tiehua also noticed the change in Qi Yuan's expression.

Qi Yuan had only been at the Ming Wu Martial Arts Hall for a few months.

According to Han Xianyun's description, Qi Yuan was at least a Martial Arts Limit.

Could it be that he was truly an unparalleled genius?

Han Xianyun smiled and said, "That's right, it's me."

At this moment, Qi Yuan scanned the participating martial artists and couldn't help but say, "They're too weak. How lonely it is to be invincible."

Xing Yu couldn't help but give Qi Yuan a sidelong glance. "Qi Yuan, even if you're an unparalleled genius, you shouldn't underestimate others."

In her heart, she knew that Qi Yuan was undoubtedly a genius who had broken through the limits of martial arts.

Nowadays, strange occurrences were frequent, and this wasn't anything unusual.

"I'm not underestimating them. I just wish they would put in more effort.

It's a pity they're too weak. If I weren't aiming for the championship, I wouldn't even consider participating." Qi Yuan said.

Jin Sican, with her arms around Qi Yuan's arm, spoke cheerfully, "Do you want me to beat them all up and force them to withdraw, so... you can win the championship directly?"

"Like this... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?" Qi Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

At the same time, inside a skyscraper.

A woman's face showed a worried expression, "Sir, just now, the participant Wang Fusheng provoked the target character."

"What?" The man in military uniform listened, his face turning grim. "How dare he!"

The target character was someone they had to treat with caution, yet someone had provoked him.

Was this person courting death?

"Wang Fusheng, quickly find someone to capture him. Before the tournament, he dared to provoke and threaten his opponent.

Revoke his competition qualifications, and at the same time... arrest him for endangering national security!"

The man in military uniform was truly enraged.

When facing Qi Yuan, they were cautious, afraid of provoking him.

As a result, there were still those who dared to offend him, seeking death.

If they offended Qi Yuan, who knows how many Sky Eyes might fall from the sky.

Who would take responsibility for this? Who would bear the consequences?

"Go arrange for staff to provide pre-competition training for every participant, prohibiting them from using any form of... profanity, provoking opponents. Do you understand?" The man in military uniform spoke sternly.

This matter must be handled well.

Otherwise, not to mention a promotion and raise, even their lives might be at stake.

...

The next day, the Martial Arts Tournament officially began.

This tournament had ten arenas, where simultaneous matches took place.

After several rounds, the strongest twenty-plus contestants were selected, and the competition proceeded.

The tournament typically lasted two days.

The first day was essentially a chaotic battle, lacking any highlights.

In the spectator stands, there were only a few spectators.

"Sigh, why isn't there a pre-match taunting segment? It's so boring."

"Without insults and anger, this combat is less exciting than street brawls."

"Boring, I should've known better than to come."

The spectators watched the martial combat with waning interest.

Qi Yuan wasn't particularly interested either, observing the matches, "The Human Martial Path Master... can be achieved within a hundred years.

In a 6-9-1-9 book, there's not a single mistake!"

"As for the Spiritual Martial Path Master, I have no clue."

Jin Sican, on the other hand, found it quite interesting, "Even small fights are quite entertaining, just like watching cartoons."

"Hey, you're the small one, aren't you?" Qi Yuan looked at Jin Sican.

Jin Sican had a petite and graceful figure, her entire body covered in a black dress, looking tiny.

She could even hang from Qi Yuan's body without adding any weight.

"Where am I small? I, Miss Jin, am not small at all!" Jin Sican proudly puffed out her chest.

Although she had secretly bought a push-up bra.

But she was originally between A and B, leaning towards B, and even with this, she didn't appear prominent, like an inverted jade bowl.

"Indeed, you're not small. If you want to make it bigger, with a single spell... you can directly become as big as... a mountain."

"Get lost!" Jin Sican rarely cursed.

"Hey, no swearing, profanity is prohibited here."

"Tsk." Jin Sican turned away, not looking at Qi Yuan. If the Blood Drop didn't apologize, she wouldn't initiate a conversation with him today.

"Do you see that person? Southern Lion Zhang Yang, he's my greatest enemy in this tournament...

Alas... he's only slightly stronger than an ant."

At this moment, on the arena, Zhang Yang's powerful punch was thrown, and the mighty wind and boiling blood could be seen.

This scene elicited cheers and applause from many spectators.

...Because it was an instant kill.

Jin Sican, who had been angry, didn't want to pay attention to Qi Yuan.

But upon thinking about it, Qi Yuan was talking to her.

She replied, not taking the initiative to talk to Qi Yuan.

She glanced at Zhang Yang, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

"Blood Drop, don't you feel that the people in this world... all look somewhat familiar?"

"Wait, you know them?" Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, he didn't recognize anyone familiar.

"Their bloodline... seems to share a certain degree of origin with the demons of the Demon World."

Golden Canary spoke earnestly.

As a Yin Shen Realm cultivator, she could perceive much more than Qi Yuan.

Golden Canary was most familiar with the Demon World.

In the Gale World, one of their greatest enemies was the demons from the Demon World.

The Supreme of the Demon World, led by Shang Yanran, invaded the Gale World through the Ten Thousand Differences Gate.

As the Great Supreme, Ning Tuo had dealt with the Supreme of the Demon World numerous times and was familiar with their aura.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, had not interacted much with the Demon World's Supreme.

After entering the Ten Thousand Differences Gate, he had pushed through without much opposition.

He had rarely encountered the Supreme of the Demon World.

Mentioning the Gale World, Qi Yuan held Golden Canary's hand, "Is this related to the Demon World?

Doesn't this mean that in the future, we might have a chance... to return to Jiupanshan?"

If possible, let's have our wedding in your hometown."

"This young lady doesn't have a hometown. If I do... it's on your Golden Core." Golden Canary spoke with a mix of arrogance and joy.

Indeed, she had no family in her life.

The Blood Droplet that suddenly appeared in her world was almost her entire life.

She had spent most of her life in a long wait.

Now, she could finally taste the sweetness after the bitterness.

"If I mistreat you in the future, won't there be no one to stand up for you?" Qi Yuan pondered.

"How dare you!" Golden Canary glared at Qi Yuan, "When the time comes, I'll directly turn into Ning Tuo and stomp you!"

"Ah, I regret it. When you were trapped in the Celestial Heart Palace, I should have stomped on you a few times!"

Initially, Qi Yuan couldn't enter the game.

Ning Tuo used the Soul Lock Jade to summon Qi Yuan.

At that time, Qi Yuan was Ning Tuo's captive.

Ning Tuo had planned to control Qi Yuan completely, imprisoning him in the Celestial Heart Palace's dungeon, preventing him from leaving her sight, and making everything about him revolve around her.

"No, this young lady can stomp you now. Haha, Blood Droplet, you're no match for me now." Golden Canary beamed with pride.

In the private room, Golden Canary raised her slender legs, seemingly hesitant to stomp with her shoes. Her shoes had slipped off at some point, revealing her feet wrapped in black stockings, delicate and white like tender lotus roots.

Her five toes were either straight or curled, resembling the most perfect artwork in the world, a masterpiece that could be held in one's hand.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan suddenly thought of many things, "The stockings in the Gale World and the Arch Star, which one has better quality?

If we can go to the Gale World, won't we be able to conduct inter-world trade and sell stockings?"

"Get lost!" This time, Golden Canary didn't hold back, stomping Qi Yuan's foot.

But perhaps she was too fond of Qi Yuan, as this stomp lacked force and was slow, allowing Qi Yuan to catch it easily.

"Sigh, I was just talking. I'm so broke." Qi Yuan wanted to buy Arch Star, but he was too poor.

"Hmph." A strand of red blush crept up Golden Canary's ear, and she looked at Qi Yuan with dissatisfaction, "Is money more important than me?"

Back at Jiupanshan, she had also said, "Blood Droplet, is the Ten Thousand Differences Gate more beautiful than me?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes, "For many people, money is important.

But I... am Lawful Good and an Idealist.

You... are important."

"What if I'm not Lawful Good or an Idealist?"

"Then it's still you." Qi Yuan answered seriously.

"Hmph!" Golden Canary coldly snorted again, but this time, there was more joy in her voice.

"I suddenly thought of a serious issue." At this moment, Qi Yuan's expression turned serious.

"What issue?" Golden Canary's long legs stiffened, and she didn't retract her jade-like feet, as if she was enjoying the intimacy with Qi Yuan.

Or perhaps, after too much waiting, her heart was filled with insecurity and the fear of being abandoned.

Only by staying close to Qi Yuan could she feel a sense of security.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, she had been sticking to Qi Yuan almost constantly.

Her gaze had never left Qi Yuan's body.

Whenever she could be close to Qi Yuan, she never refused.

"We haven't discussed how much bridal gifts to give." Qi Yuan spoke earnestly.

"This young lady doesn't want bridal gifts." Golden Canary blurted out.

"You're too love-struck." Qi Yuan smiled, "If we put our conversation online, many people will surely scold you."

"If they scold me, won't you help me scold them back, Blood Droplet?" Golden Canary smiled charmingly.

"Hmm... not scolding back, but killing them." Qi Yuan answered seriously.

He couldn't bear to let Golden Canary suffer even a little more.

He had already let her suffer too much.
