Chapter 100: Love, Hate, and Resentment Between Grandmasters
Shannan City is the city of Shannan Road and the core of the entire Shannan Road.
The Wubusi even has a station here, specifically to supervise the entire Shannan Road, and most of the elite troops that suppress Shannan Road are also stationed here.
Two masters from Shannan Road will compete here. As soon as this news came out, the martial arts world of Shannan Road was in an uproar. For many years, there has never been a master-level fight in Shannan Road.
As a result, many martial artists began to flock to Shannan City, as well as many people who wanted to catch a glimpse of the Grandmaster and watch the fun.
Although the Grandmasters' Martial Arts Competition is held outside the city on the shores of Lancang Lake, can't we watch it from the city walls?
Not only are there many soldiers guarding you, but the viewing experience is also great. Why not do it?
February 2nd is coming soon, and Wang Yao and others are still on their way here.
On February 2nd, the Yang energy rises, the earth thaws, and spring plowing is about to begin. It is the time to transport manure and prepare for farming.
"On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head. The two great masters gather at the shore of Lancang Lake to compete with each other. This is to pray for blessings from the Dragon King in the lake!" An old squire set up chairs on the city wall and chatted and laughed while drinking tea.
"Yes, it's a good day, a good omen!"
"It has been a long time since a master stopped by our Shannan. I didn't expect that two great masters would meet here to compete today." Someone echoed the old squire.
"Hey, does anyone know the origins of these two masters? I've been out of the martial arts world for a long time, so I don't know much about them." A man dressed like a scholar came up to the crowd and asked.
"No, I'm asking you, bro, what are you thinking? You're actually imitating the scholars." Some people couldn't stand it and complained a few times.
But some people couldn't help showing off their knowledge and began to talk big.
"You don't know, these two masters are from very important backgrounds. They are both geniuses, and they are not even forty-five yet."
A scoundrel immediately laughed and said, "I'm also 45, but I only know a few basic martial arts skills. I'm ashamed."
As soon as he said this, someone who knew the ruffian immediately exposed him, saying, "San Gou'er, don't be ashamed. If you were ashamed, you wouldn't be unable to endure the hardship and be killed by the gang."
"Ahem, listen to me, one of these Grandmasters is ranked 127th on the Earth Ranking, his name is Hua Hongji.
He is an old master, but he is a peaceful person and doesn't like to fight with others, so his ranking has not changed much.
He has always been at the bottom of the Earth Ranking, but don't underestimate him. There were once two geniuses who had just broken through to the Grandmaster level.
He looked down on Master Hua and ended up being taught a lesson. This shows that Master Hua is not without strength, but is just too lazy to rush to the top of the list. "
"Then why did Grandmaster Hua agree to the challenge this time? Is there something hidden, or is there some unresolved grudge?" someone couldn't help but ask.
The boastful man looked as if he was trying to keep the secret secret, and only continued after he was almost beaten.
“Next, I will talk about the second Grandmaster. This Grandmaster is no more than forty years old, even younger than Grandmaster Hua.
But he had just broken through and was ranked 132nd on the Grandmaster List, right at the very end.
This master was called Wang Wenshu. He was originally a scholar and his family had been scholars for generations, so he had a bright future.
Some people will ask, why did Grandmaster Wang abandon literature and martial arts, and even come into conflict with Grandmaster Hua?
"Are you going to tell me or not? Damn it, you're ruining my appetite, aren't you?" There was an irritable man who, seeing that the man was still keeping it in suspense and hesitating, slapped him in the face.
This hot-tempered man was a second-level warrior. The people around him were trembling with fear, but the old man could still admit defeat and continue speaking tremblingly.
"Ahem, of course it's love and hate. Grandmaster Wang's well-matched fiancée was easily snatched away by Grandmaster Hua, who was a Second Realm boss at the time.
The key is that his fiancée is willing, because Master Hua is not only handsome, but also the founder of a school and controls an entire prefecture.
If you were Master Wang's fiancée, would you be unwilling? So facing this love-stealing incident, Master Wang realized a truth: a scholar is useless.
And in our Great Wu Dynasty, this is the truth among truths! What follows is of course the beginning of his legendary journey, abandoning literature to pursue martial arts..."
"Look, the two masters are here!" Someone interrupted the storyteller and pointed to the shore of Lancang Lake.
Hua Hongji, dressed in a graceful blue robe and with a sword slung at his waist, demonstrated the legendary skill of crossing the river on a reed.
He rode a reed and rushed out from the thick fog in the center of the lake in the distance, looking extremely cool and elegant.
At the same time, Wang Wenshu also demonstrated extremely powerful lightness skills, walking on the leaves from the top of the nearby forest.
Just by lightly tapping the tips of his toes on the outstretched leaves, he could fly more than a hundred meters. From a distance, it looked like a real person was flying.
However, in this world, only the Grandmasters of the Heavenly Ranking, the legendary Saint Realm, can move freely in the sky.
"Wow! Oh, here they come!" There was a cheer on the city wall, and even the 'masters' by the lake were very happy.
Of course, it wasn't just people hiding on the city walls to watch for safety. Many martial artists who considered themselves masters would find a spot by the lake to learn nearby.
There are so few Grandmaster battles that there is no place to learn, so the news came out this time.
Even many warriors from the Central Plains traveled thousands of miles through the Shannan Pass to come to this miasma-ridden place to watch the battle.
These people are not only brave, but more importantly, they are strong and confident that they will not be affected by the aftermath of the Grandmasters' battles. The minimum requirement is to reach the second level of martial arts.
So looking around, there are quite a few masters on the Xuan List, and there are also many old warriors who are at the peak of the second realm and have not made any progress. They hope to learn some skills.
On the current Earth Ranking, there are also people who break through to the realm of refining and differentiating after the age of 45, but they are very rare, less than 20%.
But there is still hope, so they will not miss any opportunity to touch the bottleneck, and the Grandmaster War is naturally the most suitable one.
The reason why the standard for the Xuanbang is set at under 45 years old is because warriors under this age group have the most vigorous energy and blood, and are in the best condition both physically and mentally.
When the body is alienated, it is easier to maintain sanity and not turn into a monster that has lost its mind.
If the probability of a normal warrior under the age of 45 and in peak condition breaking through to the realm of refining is one in a thousand, then after the age of 45, it becomes one in ten thousand.
There are large open spaces on the shores of Lancang Lake, with dense mudflats and complex terrain. Using it as a battlefield tests the adaptability of both sides.
"Hua Hongji, are you ready? Today, I will make you pay for all the humiliation you have suffered over the years!" Wang Wenshu's originally gentle face turned a little ferocious when he saw Hua Hongji.
"I say, why are you so stupid? Xiao Ning and I love each other, and we have three children. Why are you still pestering me?" Hua Hongji curled his lips, feeling helpless about Wang Wenshu's persistence.
This Wang Wenshu has been harassing her since he was a weak scholar. He even learned martial arts for revenge. Unexpectedly, he actually became famous for it.
Looking at the imposing Wang Wenshu opposite him, Hua Hongji couldn't help but sigh, what a talent he has, he caught up with him in just ten years.
Just when the battle was about to break out, Wang Yao, Yan Wu and other talents arrived late and rushed to the lake to watch the battle.
