Yun Shou silently appeared above the arena.

I remember it was about eight days ago. (Chapter 16)

He experienced this scenario for the first time in a simulation.

Excluding details omitted in the simulation, his family members had participated in this "martial arts contest for marriage" activity only twice.

One of them was the "Martial God's Fate Blind Date Event".

And there was another one, which was the one shown below.

In the end, neither the young prodigy Yun San, nor anyone else who won the simulation in Yun Qi's case (Chapter 74, excluding the Red Cliff Guest), wanted the final prize of the event, Lin Youbai, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Well, she did take a liking to Yun Liu, who had become the leader of the Qinghe Gang, but Yun Liu didn't reciprocate her feelings.

"We need to teach this arrogant young lady a lesson!"

Yun Shou pinched his chin, and after a long while, an idea came to him.

He decided to use the genres most popular in both male and female-oriented online novels to deal with Lin Youbai!

Regretful flow!

That's right, it's the famous "regret flow"!

Today you ignore me, tomorrow I'll make you regret it so much you won't be able to reach me.

"It would be too strange for me to be added at the last minute. Let the real champion, who should have won but was betrayed, have the chance to triumph."

Therefore, he waited and waited, watching each battle one by one.

There were seven matches in total: the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the final.

Although the battle was intense, there were no special effects flying around because they were all second-rate martial artists who could not release their internal energy. Even though their internal energy was surging inside their bodies when fighting the enemy, the only effect they produced was that patch of skin changing color.

Yun Shou ate melon seeds while watching the show.

After every few rounds of matches, there is a halftime break where someone toasts the winner or loser, and someone serves tea.

The final battle did not begin until more than two hours later.

The victor was a middle-aged man around 30 years old with a rather long and narrow face.

His expression revealed determination and joy, the joy of soon winning the heart of his beloved.

Yun Shou's gaze settled on this person, whose martial arts aptitude was not bad. Although he was a self-taught martial artist who practiced Iron Body Skill, he estimated that he could reach the first-class level within ten years and release his internal energy.

If he had a renowned teacher from a young age, he could probably reach the first-class level before the age of 30, and the second-class level around the age of 20, and then participate in the "Young Talents Competition".

Although he may not achieve great results, he can still be considered a young hero.

In the final battle of the middle-aged and young, he stepped out with the Wandering Mountain Step and unleashed the Vajra Palm. Within his body's meridians, gray-black energy surged, slightly altering the color of his entire palm. His sharpness was fully revealed, making people wonder if he could unleash his energy and advance to the first-class level at any moment!

His opponent was no pushover either; he practiced the Heavenly Arm technique and had reached its peak!

The Heavenly Arm, although its name sounds like a martial arts technique, is actually a skill that can train the entire body.

However, once you reach the level of minor or major mastery, the additional physical transformation effect is that your arms become longer and stronger.

"Back when the second brother joined the Chu family (Chapter 2), I wanted him to choose this Heavenly Arm." Yun Shou said with a touch of nostalgia.

"The basic martial arts Iron Body Skill and Heaven-Piercing Arm, when practiced to the later stages, both modify the body structure, making the body stronger or the arms more powerful. The first is defensive, and the second is offensive."

The final blow that determined the outcome between the two martial artists was the Vajra Palm against the Explosive Fist.

Because cloth was larger than stone, the middle-aged and young people won.

He was overjoyed and, led by the Lin family steward, went to see the young lady.

Yun Shou stood high in the sky, his figure disappearing, and keenly noticed that when the eldest daughter of the Lin family looked down from the wooden building next to him, her brows furrowed noticeably.

As expected, the young man and woman went there full of joy, only to be rejected by Lin Youbai with the words, "Too old, I don't want an old man."

He was devastated by the terrible news.

I feel terrible.

He didn't even accept the compensation promised by the Lin family steward. When he walked out, looking lost and dejected, he seemed to have turned into black and white.

Some of the martial artists who had fought him on the arena came forward to congratulate the young man on his victory, until a more observant person noticed that his expression was off and called out.

"Brother Yi, why do you look so long-suffering?"

"That's right, all the brothers are envious of you, and they're looking forward to having a good drink with you on your wedding day!"

"Could it be that this young lady of the Lin family is a 'rich girl'?"

"That's impossible. I've seen her. Although she can't compare to the famous beauties of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, she's not weak either. She's quite... pretty."

"Yi Ping, give me a straight answer, what exactly happened?!" The top four martial artists stepped forward: "You're not looking down on that young lady, are you? You may not like her, but I do!"

Young and middle-aged Yi Ping didn't want to answer any of the questions, covered his face, and was about to leave.

At this moment, a dazzling array of colors shone down, forming a ring of light that enveloped Yi Ping.

Yun Shou descended from the sky before Yi Ping like a god, radiating light pollution!

The people who were stunned were not only him and the many martial artists who had fought on the stage before, but even Lin Youbai in the wooden building next to him looked over, dumbfounded.

"What a tragic man! You have clearly achieved victory, and it took you more than ten arduous battles to get to this point, but your efforts and struggles have been easily negated with a single word."

Yun Shou rose to prominence with each step he took, and a white cloud rose up and supported him at his feet: "You have fallen into the abyss. Your promising future is now shrouded in darkness. Dark clouds are hanging over your head, child."

"And I am that ray of dawn that pierces through the dark clouds, dispels the darkness, and comes to redeem you!"

Yun Shou hovered in the air, leaning forward, mimicking God as he extended his palm to Yi Ping: "Child, are you willing to accept a new life and overcome your difficulties with your father's help?"

Yi Ping's lips trembled. He realized that he was about to face a crucial moment. Facing Yun Shou's outstretched hand, which was still gleaming, he took a deep breath and offered his own hand as well: "I...am willing!"

"Good!" The moment their fingers touched, Yi Ping's martial arts cultivation surged dramatically!

Second-rate martial artists have two stages: the unity of qi and strength and the transformation of blood and flesh.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Ping broke through from the profound second-rate level of Blood Exchange and Flesh Condensation to the Martial Master level, breaking through several levels in succession!

He felt the internal energy within his body with disbelief... No, when this internal energy grows to such a level that it can be released externally, it should be renamed—internal energy!

This is internal energy, ten times or even nine times stronger than the internal energy he possessed just a second ago!

(Fourth update. This time I still have to clear the entire Qingyu region in reality. Just thinking about all the characters that are going to appear makes me... (o﹃o))
