Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 331 Domestic Public Opinion Explodes
Yanjing.

After a busy day, Liu Yufei returned to her small home...a big villa.

Studies, movies, and Lin Yuan's company, these three major jobs almost took up all of her time.

Exhausted, she wanted to take a quick shower and fall asleep.

But her mother called her downstairs: "Xixi, have you seen the headlines today?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Liu Yufei responded.

"It's related to Lin Yuan! He's really capable of making trouble!"

"Okay, I'll watch it now."

When Lin Yuan was mentioned, Liu Yufei immediately became excited.

She opened the portal website and saw a huge headline occupying nearly one-third of the page:
Lin Yuan and his second-best swordsmanship tournament in the world!

Kendo tournament?

During the call, Liu Yufei knew that Lin Yuan was in Japan, dealing with matters related to investing in Sony Corporation, but how did this involve the Kendo competition?
How could it be given such a strange name as The Second Under Heaven?

So she clicked on the news out of curiosity and read it carefully.

After reading the news, Liu Yufei and her mother had exactly the same feeling: Lin Yuan is really hardworking!
In just a few days, they organized a kendo competition, offered a sky-high prize of $100 million as a gimmick, and also developed a complete set of practical kendo moves.

This is really amazing.

Even as Lin Yuan's bedmate, Liu Yufei felt the need to re-examine this person whom she thought she was so familiar with.

With such a shocking move, public opinion in the country should have exploded, right?
Liu Yufei clicked on the comment section out of curiosity.

There are hundreds of thousands of comments, which is totally overwhelming.

But she was still very interested and read from top to bottom:
"Awesome! Lin Yuan is truly amazing. The last time he went to Japan, he completely captivated the Japanese kendo community and earned him the title of 'Sword God'. This time, why not just hold a martial arts tournament?"

"The funniest thing is, the champion of this martial arts tournament is only second in the world. Hahahaha, everyone still takes it for granted that Lin Yuan should be first. That's amazing!"

"The prize money for this competition is so huge! It's $1 million! If I could earn that much, I'd be able to make it onto the list of the richest people in the country."

"That huge sum of $1 million can only be obtained after you win the championship and then defeat Lin Yuan. Do you think you can beat Lin Yuan? Who do you think you are? Liu Yufei?"

Seeing that this comment had 9999+ likes, Liu Yufei knocked on the table in anger.

What do you mean, do you think you are Liu Yufei?
Even I can't beat Lin Yuan!

In every battle, the defeated were left with nothing but armor and weapons, and were so exhausted that they begged for mercy and called for a halt.

Thinking of this, her face turned a little red and her legs couldn't help but twist together.

I can't think about this right now! Liu Yufei shook off the distracting thoughts and continued to scroll down to read the comments:
"Even if I can't get the hidden $1 million prize, a $500 million prize is pretty tempting, right? I can buy a big house in Yanjing with that, right?"

"Hahaha, I can tell you're not rich, you're the typical emperor with a golden hoe! Murdoch just bought a courtyard house for Wendi Deng in Beijing, covering over 700 square meters, and cost 1000 million RMB. If you really could get a $500 million bonus, it would be enough to buy four courtyard houses."

"Wow! This is so exciting! Can only Japanese people sign up? Can we Chinese also participate?"

"Of course! The registration fee of over 200 RMB is a bit steep, but it's not a big deal. The key is whether you can afford a plane ticket to Japan."

"Ah~ forget it. I can't even afford a green train when I go far away, let alone a plane ticket to Japan." "I can afford a plane ticket. I'm going to Japan to win glory for my country! What do you think, if I win the championship, will my goddess fall in love with me?"

"You know kendo? You can't even make it past the preliminaries, right?"

"Don't look down on me! I used to be the national champion in sword fighting!"

"Ah~ I know, it's just a routine performance!"

"I learned the practical kendo techniques that Lin Yuan published for free. After training like this for a few months, I believe I can get a good ranking!"

"Then do your best, we'll wait and see! Hahaha, I'm still looking forward to seeing Chinese people at the Kendo Tournament."

Seeing this, Liu Yufei nodded.

Lin Yuan's kendo competition has completely penetrated the country's influence.

It seems that people are not only paying attention, many people even want to go to Japan to participate in the competition.

The practical sword moves created by Lin Yuan have also been accepted and practiced by everyone, truly exerting an all-round influence!

Liu Yufei continued to scan the comments and found that everyone was very enthusiastic about the discussion.

During the time she spent reading the comments, tens of thousands of comments were added, and the popularity continued to rise.

However, some people have questioned Lin Yuan:
"Why would Lin Yuan, a Chinese, go to Japan to host a kendo competition? With so much prize money, wouldn't it be better to bring it back home and host a swordplay competition, a knifeplay competition, or even a spearplay competition?"

Liu Yufei was furious. Lin Yuan had clearly explained it to her. Just as she was about to take out her keyboard to type, she saw that someone had already answered:
"Didn't Lin Yuan make it clear at the press conference? This Japan Kendo Tournament is just a pilot. If the model proves successful, he'll expand it to hold the tournaments you mentioned!"

Seeing this comment, Liu Yufei nodded.

Someone followed up on this reply: "Our traditional Chinese martial arts are also very powerful. It would be awesome if they could completely crush Japanese kendo in a head-on confrontation! I really look forward to Lin Yuan expanding his martial arts tournament as soon as possible, so that Japanese kendo and Chinese swordsmanship can compete on the same stage!"

"hehe!"

"What are you saying? Am I wrong?"

"Which traditional Chinese martial arts master has ever been in actual combat? Aren't they afraid of being discovered as a silver-plated spearhead when they go on stage? Not only will they fail to bring glory to the country, but they'll actually bring disgrace upon themselves."

"How is that possible? With thousands of years of martial arts heritage, would we be afraid of that rubbish Japanese kendo?"

The year was 2003, and Master Ma had not yet been knocked out three times in thirty seconds by an ordinary boxing enthusiast, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.

Everyone hadn't seen yet that a Tai Chi master named Lei was beaten to a pulp and nearly died by a second-rate UFC fighter.

Today's netizens still have confidence in traditional martial arts, and it is not as fragile as it will be 20 years later.

However, Lin Yuan was well aware of the corruption in the traditional martial arts community in China at that time, and that all the good things passed down by our ancestors had been thrown away by them.

Fortunately, there is a heritage in my mind, so many skills will not be lost.

However, reorganizing traditional martial arts is not something that can be done overnight.

Lin Yuan would face greater resistance in the country, so he chose to start from Japan, where the resistance was the least, and save the country in a roundabout way.

After he successfully organizes the kendo competition, he will return to the traditional martial arts field with his successful case and huge reputation.
