182 - The Contest Begins
It's time to enter the exam halls and start the test.

Abbot Wuyin, Master Zuo and every one here have worked hard! This year's contest has reached a new height. Look at these newcomers, and think of the flourishing martial arts world. My efforts as well as the two Masters are not in vain, I feel so delighted.
U8dumKN.jpg
As usual, there will be two stages to this Contest. The first is the stage of knowledge. It shall test all of you in the knowledge of martial arts, its anecdotes, facts and history. Knowledge that is necessary if you wish to travel far in this martial arts community.
U8dumKN.jpg
Your literature test will affect your rank in the Martial test. The higher your score, the less challenge you need to win in the Martial Test.
U8dumKN.jpg
Do not despair if your martial knowledge is lacking, you can still compensate it with excellence in Martial Test. But we strongly condemn any attempts to cheat. Do not bring great shame to your clans or sects. I hope all of you do not stoop to such lowly behavior! Understood?!

Good. You may begin the Literature Test!

You've done well. Your deeds will be recorded. The next generation will know of your accomplishment. I hope you will create a chivalrous chronicle and protect the weak to serve a role model for the young ones.

Thank you, Master Cao!

Mr. Xu! Why are you here?
22U1dL0.jpg
Of course I'm here. I need to record this into my book and congratulate you personally.
iOhYS0K.jpg
So I'm going to be in your Wulinpedia?
22U1dL0.jpg
Of course.
iOhYS0K.jpg
Thanks Mr Xu! I'm so excited!
22U1dL0.jpg
I have great expectations of you. Keep up the good work.
5Ed8eZG.jpg
The Wulinpedia! Are you the author, Xu Ziyi?
22U1dL0.jpg
That is correct, Master Cao.
5Ed8eZG.jpg
I am your biggest fan! Please, I would love to have one of your signatures.
22U1dL0.jpg
Uh, I'll gladly give you one. It's my honor to sign for the third best swordsman in the world, Master Cao. (As long it's not too much.)

Man, what a perfect day.

The final boss for me is the number of images in my screenshot folder.

I'd probably take a long break from LP-ing once this one is over.
I did not expect it'd take 200+ updates to conclude.
The nights with 1000+ raw images in the screenshot folder are so bad for sleep that I was even editing LP in my dreams.
And then I wake up and realize I did not do any of those updates.

:despair:

I made it a rule from then on to just stop playing completely at 10 PM to empty my brain before going to sleep on weeknights.
And if I ever accumulate 2000+ raws I'd just nuke them all and restore to a save point and rerun it all over again in 200 shots chunks.

Remember folks:

VgzUNto.jpg
Master, Brothers, I'm back!
g5sv2tu.jpg
Tell us what happened in the Contest. Did you win?
VgzUNto.jpg
Yes, I was lucky to win this year's Contest!
DM0D6HU.jpg
Hahaha, you are really my good disciple!
OP0NcA5.png
Tch, nothing to be proud about!

I ignore his butthurt and visit the shop. It's New Year! Time to buy goodies. All the teas, drinks and stuff. I have money to spend now.

Wah! You came here especially to wish me happy new year? I'm so over the moon!
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Ha! Don't be so smug! I've come to pay my respects to Master Wuxia Zi under my father's order.
mCfOkt8.jpg
Ah, so you're not here to see me.
v2VENWz.jpg
Um, actually it's part of the reason I came here.
DKmklpz.jpg
I feel better now after hearing you say that. Come, let me show you around the Valley.

The two walk around and chatted...

VgzUNto.jpg
And then Ji splashed a bucket of water on Wang Rong! Man, she was all wet and angry.
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
...
mCfOkt8.jpg
Ah, sorry, you must feel bored listening to me talk.
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Not at all. I envy that you get along well with your fellow disciples.
mCfOkt8.jpg
Nah, I'm just their punching bag during practice. Especially Bully Ji.
VgzUNto.jpg
Let me tell you some embarrassing things about him. It's rare I get the chance to badmouth that jerk.
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Hehe. Eh, what's this?
TEuPMjh.png
A red satchel? Why does it look so familiar?
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Isn't this an amulet?
TEuPMjh.png
Why don't we open it? *opens it*
oqKZ335.png
Hm.. is there a name on it?
TEuPMjh.png
No, but there's a date of birth and the eight characters of the horoscope. Born November 7th of Gui Hai year with words 'Long Life' written on it.
oqKZ335.png
Really?!
nbLIajd.jpg

pG6C4re.jpg
Hey, Shi Di Fen! What's that in your hands?
TEuPMjh.png
Damn! Jing Ji, I just found it on the ground...
pG6C4re.jpg
It's mine! Give it back!
TEuPMjh.png
(Ah! It's the thing he wears on his neck every day!)
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! Finally! Did you open it?
mCfOkt8.jpg
No, no! (If I tell him the truth, he'd hit me.)
Fs316Xy.jpg
Hmph! You're getting cocky. You dare to hang around the Valley with a woman. It's no wonder you can't make any progress on your martial arts skills!
ugIVmDE.jpg
What! I wasn't! Damn you, Ji!
GRzbJKL.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
You talking to me?
oqKZ335.png
Is there anyone else?
OP0NcA5.png
You're as rude as my junior disciple. No wonder you two hang out together.
oqKZ335.png
Where did you get this satchel?
OP0NcA5.png
None of your business. Why should I answer you?
mCfOkt8.jpg
Eh! (Shit, two of them together...)
oqKZ335.png
Watch your mouth!
ugIVmDE.jpg
No! Hongshan! Calm down!
pG6C4re.jpg
You stubborn girl! So you wanna fight? Go ahead, I'm not afraid!

OP0NcA5.png
Stop acting like you're the smart one, Di Fen. Staying with a crazy woman like that, you'll end up stupider!
mCfOkt8.jpg
Hongshang, I'm sorry to ruin new year's day like this.
oqKZ335.png
Di Fen, who are his parents?
mCfOkt8.jpg
Huh? I heard he is an orphan. Yuexuan found him near thorn bushes, so he got the name Jing Ji. We are all orphans here.
rkkXEgu.jpg
Di Fen, this is my hair clip. Can you read what is carved on it?
TEuPMjh.png
Ah.. OK born on November 7th. Next to it 'Hundred year's old' What the- you and Ji?
rkkXEgu.jpg
This hair clip, my dad said it belongs to my mother.
mCfOkt8.jpg
What does it mean? Could it be that you're both betrothed at birth?
rkkXEgu.jpg
My dad never told me about this. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
TEuPMjh.png
Could it be Jing Ji is somehow related to your father or the Thunder Hall?
rkkXEgu.jpg
I'll ask him when I return. Di Fen, please don't tell Ji about this, OK?
TEuPMjh.png
Ok. (Why should I? Even if it's true, he wouldn't care and piss off everyone even more.)
rkkXEgu.jpg
Di Fen, sorry for today. I'll go back now.

Opens with a slash, and then parry, and then a full strength swing to blast the enemy away. An irresistible strike. Ah, I've got it! What an amazing style!

Learned Thunder Blade Art.

Nice. Damaged based on Blade skill.
Only one way to know how it is. To the arena!

It's normal to see Fu in the tavern, just like a fish in the water. But Jiannan? I'm surprised to see you here as well.
vDcQMO7.jpg
Ha-ha, we're just talking about you.
VgzUNto.jpg
Oh, what about?
3PQvhiU.jpg
Come on, let's cheer for the new champion of Young Heroes contest!
VgzUNto.jpg
Ah, I see! After the match that day, I couldn't find you anywhere!
vDcQMO7.jpg
If I have to hazard a guess, Jianhan probably went straight to the tavern.
VgzUNto.jpg
Haha, that's him alright.
vDcQMO7.jpg
So, the champion and runner-up are both here. Such a rare occasion! I toast to you both!
3PQvhiU.jpg
Ooh! This is an honor.
VgzUNto.jpg
Incredible! Jiannan is drinking! I must join in as well!
vDcQMO7.jpg
Hehe, good good! Drink up! Glug glug. Hooo~ah!
3PQvhiU.jpg
Wow, Jiannan! Now you can drink a lot!
VgzUNto.jpg
Yeah. (What a surprise. Have we ruined this guy?)
vDcQMO7.jpg
Such a joyful occasion! Come, let me toast you both again!
hSP6pYY.jpg


*Thonk*

VgzUNto.jpg
Looks like he has improved. That's two cups before he gets knocked out.
3PQvhiU.jpg
Not bad. It's our turn now. Don't go home before you're drunk! Cheers!

Hehehe, welcome.
W5HuXDW.jpg

VgzUNto.jpg
Ah, Xiahou Fei! You're here!
yjEcKCt.jpg
Hello, Di Fen!
JnxtLst.jpg
You came at the right time, Di Fen. I wanted to tell you something.
JnxtLst.jpg
Wang Rong's father is holding a Broadsword Conference for all skilled blade disciples to attend.
JnxtLst.jpg
Xiahou Fei is famous in the Clan of Matchless Broadsword, so he received the invitation. Why don't you accompany him as well and represent Xiaoyao Valley?
DKmklpz.jpg
I'd be delighted.
TEuPMjh.png
Oh, since this is a Conference for Broadsword disciples, isn't Jing Ji coming?
iABq2np.png
Bah! Even the mention of his name makes me angry! I don't know where he went off to and I don't care enough to find him!
rpehdjN.png
Alas, I'm already too old to control my disciple...
mCfOkt8.jpg
Ah, Master...
DM0D6HU.jpg
Hmph! Let him be! At least I have you and Yuexuan, my obedient disciples, hehehe.
mCfOkt8.jpg
(This old man's mood swings easily.)
IPZskd3.jpg

amUOu4V.jpg

DKmklpz.jpg
Wang Rong! I miss you so much!
yAVt2pD.png
I miss you too! Where's Jing Ji? I remember that he uses a blade too.
mCfOkt8.jpg
Ah, Master couldn't find him. Ah, let's not talk about him.
Y3pWQzM.png
Ah, what a shame, I haven't seen him for a long time.
mCfOkt8.jpg
?? (Is Bully Ji really worth missing?)
yAVt2pD.png
Anyway, come in, have a seat. Xiahou, long time no see!
yjEcKCt.jpg
Nice to meet you, Miss Wang.
yAVt2pD.png
Aw, Di Fen's friends are my friends, you can call me Rong. Don't be so formal.
yjEcKCt.jpg
Ah. Rong.. that's so similar to Furong.. Hehehe...
Y3pWQzM.png
?? What are you saying?
VgzUNto.jpg
Oh, remember Chengdu? Xiahou really likes Grampa Nian's daughter. Her name is Furong, and she's good at cooking, just like you.
yjEcKCt.jpg
Eh! Shi, you talk too much!
yAVt2pD.png
Aiyah, don't tease Xiahou lah. What about you, brother? Is the girl you love good at cooking too? And does she have the word 'Rong' in her name?
u9GWAqe.jpg

VgzUNto.jpg
Wow, you got me there. The girl I admire also has the word "Rong" in her name. Not only she's skilled at cooking, but she's also mischevious and hates training martial arts so much that she made up excuses to skip them.
VgzUNto.jpg
But that's what makes her cute lah!
Y3pWQzM.png
Eeeeh. Are you serious?
VgzUNto.jpg
What do you think?
Y3pWQzM.png
A liar should eat 1000 needles. Heeee! I'm not gonna waste any more time talking to you, I need to prepare lunches for the attendees, suit yourself. Bye-bye, you two.
VgzUNto.jpg
Haha, she's still the same.
yjEcKCt.jpg
Shi, you're so good at dealing with girls, I should learn from you.
VgzUNto.jpg
Haha, don't say that, man. Others may misunderstand it.
rfYkFCE.jpg


:lol:

EztuUXU.jpg
Uh... H-Hongshang, you're here too?!
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
You must've forgotten that all skilled Broadsword sects are invited, and that includes Thunder Hall as well. Ah, but how can you remember so many things, especially a tomboy like me? A girl who's good at cooking and with a Rong in her name is more worthwhile to remember.
EztuUXU.jpg
Ai-ya-ya~
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Well, Shi. I shall test your Xiaoyao Broadsword Techniques at the conference. See you later! Hmph!
EztuUXU.jpg
Looks like she's mad.
yjEcKCt.jpg
Shi, although you may have a knack when it comes to the ladies, I think it's better to be more faithful as a man, hehe.

I wonder if she likes umbrellas?

Jianhan, where are you headed?
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
I was looking for you bro!
TEuPMjh.png
Why?
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
I just bought two bottles of fresh Dukang spirit from the village to drink with you!
VgzUNto.jpg
Wonderful! Let's go!
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Why bother drinking elsewhere? This is as good a place as any!
NIjhgCS.jpg

G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Yeah, I'm totally refreshed now! Now I'm ready to practice my swordsmanship!
Ovy4wWV.jpg
An excellent idea! I can be your opponent!

Is this a good idea? :lol:

G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Alright, show me your Xiaoyao Swordsmanship!
Ovy4wWV.jpg
No problem, watch out, Jianhan!
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Hahah, Xiaoyao Swordsmanship really lives up to its name!
TEuPMjh.png
I'm flattered. Your swordsmanship is so flexible. Do you really learn that on your own?
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Well, that's not entirely true. I usually practice with my drinking buddies, they are both my friends and my teachers!
TEuPMjh.png
Ooh! (Now I'm curious who he hangs out with.)
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Oh yeah, Di Fen, I think you can improve the third movement of your sword style into a thrust. What do you think?
TEuPMjh.png
Hmm, you're right!
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
And on the fifth, you should slash upwards.
TEuPMjh.png
You're right! It is better! That's strange! Fu, how'd you know? Are you sure this is the first time you see this sword art?
G2Eb4pQ.jpg
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's my first time. It's just a gut feeling that it'll be smoother, so I just did it.
TEuPMjh.png
(Just one look and he's already improving it? Amazing!)

All this talk about Buddha sword and Devil blade is weird. I seem to recall Xu Ziyi saying it's a title for two persons? Now they're actual sword and blade?

More walking around did not reveal any chest to loot. Instead I found conflict.

Yan Yu, are you alright?
pNSrN3m.jpg
I'm fine, I need to let my master know about this as soon as possible.
FigKEmh.png
What is going on here?
pNSrN3m.jpg
Ziyang Zi has joined up with the followers of Tianlong to seize leadership of the sect! Don't waste any time! We must hurry back and tell my master!
mZ0CMaI.jpg

nraa1iV.jpg

FigKEmh.png
Yan Yu was ambushed by a member of the Cult!
GkIUE7l.jpg
What?!
pNSrN3m.jpg
Yes, Master. Ziyang Zi is plotting to take over the sect.
FigKEmh.png
I fear the cultists may already have infiltrated the sect. We have to stop this competition immediately and find out where they're hiding.
GkIUE7l.jpg
I thank you for saving Yan Yu, however...
GkIUE7l.jpg
Many skilled martial artists from many sects are present today to witness the competition. If I were to cancel the fight, they would think I am a coward.
FigKEmh.png
But this concerns the future of your sect and your life!
GkIUE7l.jpg
Worry not, young man. There are plenty of watchful eyes here, it would not be easy for them to try and ambush me.
GkIUE7l.jpg
Moreover, my swordsmanship is still as sharp as ever.
FigKEmh.png
But-
GkIUE7l.jpg
My decision is final. I will not run from this fight!
pNSrN3m.jpg
I understand. We will capture the infiltrators, so Master could fight without worrying about your back.
GkIUE7l.jpg
Very well. But you are injured, do not push yourself too hard.
FigKEmh.png
Let's look for them at the proving grounds!

pNSrN3m.jpg
Yes... I think you're right.

Without the Cult's interference, the competition concluded with no foul play.

GkIUE7l.jpg
Thank you for your help today, young man. You are Qingcheng's Sect's honored guest from now on. I'll be sure to tell your master of your great deed today. I must say Xiaoyao Valley has produced a phenomenal disciple.

I'm flattered, I was simply doing what's right.

I will always be grateful for your actions today.
FigKEmh.png
Don't mention it, that's what friends are for, to help each other.

(Heh, is he really smiling? Haha, I must be seeing things.)

Let me think about it some more.
Tf1z39e.jpg
Hey, time waits for no man. The Cult of Tianlong is expanding rapidly, they need talents like you.
Tf1z39e.jpg
With my recommendation, you'll achieve greater things than others. Why stay in this tiny place like Xiaoyao Valley, taking orders from your Master and Gu Yuexuan. Do you really enjoy living in others' shadows?
Fs316Xy.jpg
...
tGiuEHL.jpg

Fs316Xy.jpg
Tch!
Tf1z39e.jpg
Oh? It's you! Did you hear what I said?
TEuPMjh.png
Why are you inciting Ji to betray the sect?
Dm3vuZE.jpg
Come now, don't be so harsh, I'm just taking care of the young generation, making sure it doesn't wither away. You too seem to be young and promising. Why don't you come with me and do something great?
Necv1P4.jpg

Dm3vuZE.jpg
Ah, Wuxia Zi, long time no see!
iABq2np.png
How dare you return!
Dm3vuZE.jpg
Oh, just a lingering sense of attachment after my 20 years spent here. So I thought why not come and pay the valley a visit?
iABq2np.png
Attachment? You betrayed the Master's orders and joined the Cult of Tianlong! Your act of betrayal made Master ill out of frustration, how dare you even say you feel any attachment to this place!
A4P9EkG.jpg
HA! Master is too pedantic. He only favors you, giving you the ancestral and best internal style and even let you marry my beloved one!
A4P9EkG.jpg
What did he ever give me? NOTHING! I did not lose to you, but Master never cared about me!
A4P9EkG.jpg
Her happiness... you're the reason why I betrayed the sect, all because of you and that old, blind geezer.
iABq2np.png
Silence! Master had passed away and still you insult him! Today I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf!
A4P9EkG.jpg
Hmph! Again you wish to ride the high horse! Always the flawless one!
Tf1z39e.jpg
Well! I did not come here for you today. You, think over my words! We shall meet again!
iABq2np.png
This traitor! How dare you hook up with him?!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Well...
iABq2np.png
Jing Ji, I've told you many times. He's evil, getting involved with him will lead you the wrong way, why won't you listen to me?
iABq2np.png
Now you want to lead Di Fen the wrong way?
Fs316Xy.jpg
He is not totally wrong...
iABq2np.png
What did you just say?!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Nothing.
iABq2np.png
You're grounded this month, no leaving the valley! Think of your mistakes and build up your discipline!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Tch!
iABq2np.png
Am I clear?!
Fs316Xy.jpg
Yes!
iABq2np.png
Where are you going?
Fs316Xy.jpg
Back to my room to think!
iABq2np.png
You! Grr.. I'm so angry!
4lYRHMR.jpg

rpehdjN.png
What is it?
TEuPMjh.png
You said Senior disobeyed former Master's order and joined the cult. What was that order?
rpehdjN.png
Sigh. It's a long story. Twenty years ago, the Cult expanded rapidly in the Western region. Rumor said it's because they had a great source of power within their Sanctuary. In order to learn more about it, all sects sent their elites to search of their hideout.
rpehdjN.png
He ignored Master's opposition, insisting on carrying out an espionage mission inside the Cult of Tianlong, but in the end he was turned over to their side by the Nagaraja.
rpehdjN.png
Upon learning the news, Master was greatly upset and fell ill, eventually dying in depression.
TEuPMjh.png
So that's what happened...
rpehdjN.png
He is an opportunist. He'll betray anyone to achieve his goals, even his own parents! Do not fall for his lies and stray from the right path.
TEuPMjh.png
I understand.
rpehdjN.png
If only Ji could understand... *Sigh*

Needing a bit of cheering up, I went to visit Qi's stand at the market. But found it closed for the day.

FiQHlul.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
Master Qi, what happened?
M382Qn4.jpg
Hey, kid. *cough* You're here, I see. Sorry, I'm in bad shape. *cough* It seems that I can't work today.
goybAr3.jpg
Dad...
TEuPMjh.png
Master Qi, you should rest first. I have some medical training from Dr. Miracle, maybe I can help treat you.
M382Qn4.jpg
*Sigh* It's no use, my condition is internal injury, no medicine can cure me.
TEuPMjh.png
How did this happen? Was it an accident during your training?
M382Qn4.jpg
No.. ten years ago, I had a disagreement with a Bagua Disciple. Not wanting to kill me in public, they hit me on one of my acupoints. I thought I'd recover over time...
M382Qn4.jpg
But it seems they have permanently damaged my body. Every time I practice, it gets worse. I think I don't have much time left.
TEuPMjh.png
What a terrible person! Is there no cure?
M382Qn4.jpg
Only the South Emperor can help me.
TEuPMjh.png
Who's that?
M382Qn4.jpg
Well, in the past, apart from the Nameless One, there were still a lot of other heroes. Nameless One is the best, but there's also the next top four of each regions.
M382Qn4.jpg
They are Chongyang Wang, the Central Emperor, Feng Ouyang in the West, Zhixing Duan in the South, Qigong Hong in the north.
M382Qn4.jpg
The South Emperor's One Finger Death Touch can not only cause great damage but can also cure internal injuries.
M382Qn4.jpg
But its knowledge has been lost for decades, no one can practice it now. So I'm afraid my injury is incurable.
9xFk1ov.jpg
Dad, don't say that.
EztuUXU.jpg
Master Qi... don't give up. I'll try to find and learn that technique. (But where can I find it?)

Stumbled upon Thunder Hall operation while strolling by the lake.

Di Fen...
TEuPMjh.png
Where are you going with so many people? Is it the Tangmen again?
oqKZ335.png
No, we're going to wipe out the pirates that have been harassing shipments.
TEuPMjh.png
That's dangerous, Hongshang.
oqKZ335.png
I know you care about me but it has to be done. Right now the weak Emperor left the eunuchs in charge while the competent officials are suffering.
oqKZ335.png
This country's internal problems never cease and external problems keep increasing, its people are suffering. If we don't step in during these desperate times, who will?

She is a true Xia.

TEuPMjh.png
Hongshang, I'm coming with you.
oqKZ335.png
I knew you'd say that. No, let me handle it myself.
TEuPMjh.png
No way! Either you let me come along or I'll force you to stay!
rkkXEgu.jpg
...
TEuPMjh.png
You're precious to me. If anything happens to you, how can I deal with the pain and regret? Let me come with you.
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
Okay.

Later...

fQEvU2M.jpg

oqKZ335.png
Cut the crap! You're no match for our firearms in naval battle! Today I'll enforce justice on behalf of heaven and avenge all the innocents you've killed!

:lol:

VgzUNto.jpg
I did all this for you. No need to thank me.
oqKZ335.png
Do you still remember that promised favor you owe me? Does this count?
TEuPMjh.png
Eh, I'm a man of my word, what I did was on my own volition. So, what favor do you need of me?
oqKZ335.png
Actually, the Grandmaster of Thunder Hall, Qin Silong is my father.
VgzUNto.jpg
Ah, I'm so surprised by that! M'lady! My apologies for my ungentlemanly behavior.
vwJeWta.jpg

oqKZ335.png
My husband must be both brave and resourceful, responsible and loyal to me.
oqKZ335.png
Father is old, as his daughter how can I let him worry about so many things, so...
TEuPMjh.png
..so?
oqKZ335.png
Will you help me?
TEuPMjh.png
Huh? What do you mean?
Q0o6Ctl.jpg
You've promised! You can't break it, OKAY?

And she left, just like that.

TEuPMjh.png

What the fuck? :lol: That was awkward as hell.

Oh man, this is awesome! Wonderful! Sugoi! Hao! HAO! HEN HAO!!!

:lol: I dunno, this romance seems so awkward.

193 - Sad!
ZyWoBze.jpg

odWBumV.jpg

5RPynqa.jpg
lEs7hR4.jpg
Could it be that you are also...

Gay?

5RPynqa.jpg
Consumed by love?
lEs7hR4.jpg
Yes, exactly! Why does love hurt so much? I cannot eat, nor can I sleep, I just want her to smile at me, but even that is unachievable! Painful, so very painful!
5RPynqa.jpg
Ah, such sadness, so much sadness! Those who suffer the same misfortune sympathize with each other. I am Li Weizhi, may I ask your name?
lEs7hR4.jpg
Ren Jiannan.
5RPynqa.jpg
We suffer from the same pain, I want to toast you, but I do not drink, there is no good wine to be found around here either. So I shall instead recite a poem as a toast to you.
lEs7hR4.jpg
Then I shall reciprocate with the music of my Qin. Let my song be a toast to you!

Ren begins to play alongside his poet friend.

5RPynqa.jpg
Ah, good song, intoxicating.
lEs7hR4.jpg
Your poetry intoxicates my heart. It allows me to escape sorrow!
5RPynqa.jpg
But such sorrow from love is hard to quell, even drinking only prolong the sadness!
lEs7hR4.jpg
Li, you are the one who understands me!
5RPynqa.jpg
Ren, I consider you my close friend!
Y7c7klY.jpg

5RPynqa.jpg
Ah, I really drank a lot today.
EztuUXU.jpg
What? Where's the wine?
lEs7hR4.jpg
Huh, it's just here, can't you see? Let me play some more!
5RPynqa.jpg
Ah, the tune is so overpowering!
EztuUXU.jpg
???? (Are they insane?)

194 - Beyond Infinity
Another week of strolling and another encounter with The Untranslated Poet
oYeEHMZ.jpg

5RPynqa.jpg
Sigh. We shouldn't meet each other in the first place...
TEuPMjh.png
Mr. Li you sound so lovesick nowadays.
5RPynqa.jpg
Sigh. It's true. I cannot help it. Don't laugh at me, please.
TEuPMjh.png
Who is the lady that got you so smitten?
5RPynqa.jpg
She is the daughter of a wealthy clan. I am only a poor scholar without influence and money, so I cannot marry her. Destiny makes a fool of people, we met each other but we cannot be together, just constant yearning and falling further into sorrow.
5RPynqa.jpg
I thought after coming to Hangzhou, we will never see each other again. But my love cuts so deep, I cannot help but remember.
k8juZAy.jpg

5RPynqa.jpg
Ah! You kids are the ones who visit Lingzhi's home often and ask for sweets. Have you seen her lately? Is she alright?
XnxOgYK.jpg
Miss Jin lost so much weight, she doesn't look well!
XnxOgYK.jpg
She always sighs and shakes her head, saying she misses someone. Sometimes she cries while giving us sweets.
5RPynqa.jpg
Oh, Lingzhi, why am I making you miserable?
XnxOgYK.jpg
She wanted us to pass a letter to you. That's why we're here today.
5RPynqa.jpg
What! Oh, thank you! Thank you very much. Here take this, go buy yourselves some sweets.
TEuPMjh.png
What's in the letter?
5RPynqa.jpg
It's untranslated chinese, Steve. You wouldn't understand. Suffice to say, Lingzhi feels the same as I do. She's in despair. Alas, her father wants her to marry someone else.
TEuPMjh.png
If you love each other why not elope?
5RPynqa.jpg
Shi, you can't be serious!
TEuPMjh.png
There are ancient antecedents, so why not emulate them? Legendary couples are born that way.
5RPynqa.jpg
Well...
TEuPMjh.png
Why do you hesitate, is there something you fear?
5RPynqa.jpg
Shi, you don't understand! Her father, Mr. Jin is very powerful in Luoyang. He has bodyguards patrolling his estates. I'm just a weak scholar, even ten of me cannot take on even one of them. I fear I might die before even seeing Lingzhi.

Shit, I got nothing better to do. Let's use martial arts to help this guy.

TEuPMjh.png
Let me help you.
5RPynqa.jpg
You'd risk your life for me?
TEuPMjh.png
I've made up my mind, just say the word and I'll do the rest.
5RPynqa.jpg
Thank you, Shi. But how will you get Lingzhi out of their estates?
Bf3dV8b.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
I'll sneak in at night. Climb over the walls and bring her out safely. We'll meet back here once I get your lady friend out safely.
5RPynqa.jpg
Shi, you must let me help you somehow.
TEuPMjh.png
No, it's better if I go alone. I'm afraid I cannot take care of you when the fighting starts.
5RPynqa.jpg
Alright, I understand. Here, take this handkerchief. It is a token of our love. Show it to her and she will trust you.

Later that night...

B6yNICj.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
First, I'll climb over the west fence and then leap upwards with the Art of the Golden Goose. No time to lose. Let's do it!
Id6nLeY.jpg

SACNPGP.jpg
I would rather die than not be with Mr. Li. I've made up my mind, I shall kill myself...
TEuPMjh.png
Miss Jin! Calm down!
SACNPGP.jpg
Who are you?
TEuPMjh.png
Li sent me. He told me to show you this handkerchief.
SACNPGP.jpg
Oh, this is - where is he now? Please take me to him!
xC14CXo.jpg


:lol: I didn't expect her dad to be this guy.

SACNPGP.jpg
Dad, I won't marry Mr. Ximen, let me pursue my own happiness.
rf8na9C.jpg
Bullshit! Ungrateful child! I brought you up, you are mine! You don't get to decide anything!
TEuPMjh.png
I won't let that happen!
rf8na9C.jpg
Who the hell are you?
73bqIN1.jpg

TEuPMjh.png
Oh? You're here too!
rf8na9C.jpg
Another one?! Who?!
yKBjqO3.png
Just someone who treasures a friend's happiness.
rf8na9C.jpg
Get them!
klUhKqJ.jpg


Man, I didn't need the help. But Ren is fantastic for trash groups.

Wow. This meta is getting interesting. +500 ATK is probably the MAX you can get from buffs. I think the buff is supposed to go up in stages per turn.

OK let's do the math.
The first screen upon activating twice says Damage Bonus 120
We know that Sky Breaker blade gives +75 so it's 120-75 = 45 from casting Ultimate Wuji twice with Dual Strike trigger.

What I don't quite get is how it jumped from +45 into +500 in just one turn.
There must be some glitched math somewhere.
