People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 310 A flurry of activity (Seventeenth update! 5000 monthly votes added! Please vote!)

February 26th, the celestial body is in its proper position, all things are auspicious!
Li Qi continued to practice his sword as usual, then went into the dungeon to get beaten up. The dungeon was still in a frenzy. The berserk Mother of Wisdom was too fierce and had no practical value in combat. Although the Martial Dao Celestial had opened a new form, he could still exchange a few blows with her and gain some experience for Li Qi.

As for the claim that he wasn't at his peak during the Hundred Boats Competition because he practiced swordsmanship this morning, what peak condition is needed to fight Wang Taixu?!

Given his current condition, even if he only uses 30% of his strength, after one strike, he would probably be begging Wang Taixu not to die.

It was a crushing defeat due to superior realm, talent, and attributes, plus various buffs stacked on top of each other. If Li Qi still managed to lose, he would accept it.

Therefore, after eating and drinking his fill and washing up, Li Qi went out and joined the large, bustling crowd.

"What a beautiful sun!"

Looking up at the red sun on the horizon, its color is like the passion in people's hearts, full of vigor and vitality.

At the same time, it also coincided with Li Qi's current state of mind.

When people are young, it's natural to show off their brilliance and feel good!
The rising sun shines brightly; only in this way can we live up to our youthful days!

This is exactly what he is about to do. Even if Wang Taixu alone cannot truly demonstrate his strength, it will be enough in the Tiancang Land.

A new generation replaces the old; it's time for him to end the last myth and begin a new story.

……

As time passed, more and more people gathered on both banks of the Tiancang River. By around 8 a.m., it looked like an endless ocean. Many people even wore binoculars around their necks, afraid of missing any exciting moments.

Meanwhile, numerous drones hovered in the air, filming the scene from various angles and broadcasting the situation live.

In fact, many people spent the night by the river in order to get a good spot.

After all, the popularity of this world's military combat is already high, with many star players having a large number of enthusiastic fans. This battle of the Great Witches, however, adds a layer of mythology to the essence of military combat, making it even more captivating.

However, the true heart of the riverside area had long been sealed off and reserved for important figures from all corners of the country.

"The sheer number of people who can unite their hearts is truly terrifying. With so many people combined, they really can move mountains and fill seas!"

"Sacrifices are used to unite people's hearts; this is indeed the way of heaven and humanity!"

Among the crowd, Xia Hongyan and Bai Zhixin, two girls who had met Li Qi briefly yesterday, couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they watched the grand spectacle.

Indeed, in places like Zhongzhou, where cultural exchange is frequent and open-minded, ancient rituals have long been swept into the dustbin of history. Whether young or middle-aged, people consider foreign cultural elements fashionable and think that their own old things are too ignorant and have no fun.

Many people only celebrate foreign holidays and have no interest in their own domestic ones, even the Spring Festival, which they find uninteresting.

"A hundred boats race against each other to compete for the title of Great Witch; this place is actually quite interesting."

“That shaman, a man of great stature, is a title that not just anyone can bear.”

At this moment, Bai Zhixin looked at the surging river and pushed up her glasses.

"It is precisely because it is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people that we have this fierce competition. Under the watchful eyes of the public, the strongest will be chosen, which naturally reflects the will of the people. If the position of the shaman were to be directly appointed by people, it would mean that the will of the people has turned against us, and the ritual would lose its authority!"

"The reason why we are so united here today is because this matter has been handled justly."

Xia Hongyan said.

"That single character '正' (zhèng) is truly profound..."

"If an event, an organization, or a country is given an improper name, then it is not far from its demise."

"That's a bit of a tangent. Last night I was online, and all the local websites in Tiancang were buzzing with activity, all because of the Great Witch War." "Look at this Li Qi, doesn't he look a bit like the guy we met yesterday?!"

Xia Hongyan opened her phone, performed a few operations, and then waved it at Bai Zhixin.

"I haven't really been paying attention to this."

Bai Zhixin took the phone, read the post, and immediately learned the whole story of the Great Witch's War.

"However, the guy we met yesterday was much thinner than this Li Qi, and his features were more defined. He was more handsome, and his demeanor wasn't as fierce. The difference in their auras was huge. I checked local information before, and Li is a common surname in Tiannan. I suppose the guy from yesterday also has the surname Li and they are related by blood, so they look alike. There are too many cases like this."

Bai Zhixin gave a fair answer, stating that it was indeed impossible to connect the person she met yesterday with the vicious tiger in the video.

“You and I thought the same thing. The guy we met yesterday didn’t really have the aura of a strong person. Besides, look at the martial arts schools near the academy. Every one of them who practices martial arts becomes arrogant after achieving a little success and doesn’t take ordinary people seriously at all. The experts in this small place are probably even more arrogant, with their eyes looking up to the sky. How could they possibly pay attention to ordinary people’s words or give a response?”

Xia Hongyan nodded and rattled off a lot of things.

"Actually, there are exceptions. Didn't the Great Master say that those who have truly entered the path of cultivation place themselves below all living beings in order to understand the true nature of the world? Arrogance is only for martial artists, not for cultivators."

Bai Zhixin suddenly said.

“My dear, what you’re saying is exactly what the Great Master said: ‘There are many martial artists in the world, but very few true cultivators.’ Li Qi is only sixteen years old. If he were to truly enter the highest level of cultivation, what kind of monster would he be?!”

Xia Hongyan poked the other person's head.

"Too……"

Bai Zhixin nodded, admitting that she had been letting her imagination run wild.

……

On the other side, Xu Wei leaned against the railing, gazing at the surging river, her heart filled with a strange feeling. Beside her, her two roommates, who had come from out of town to watch the spectacle, were watching everything around them with great interest, clearly having never seen anything like it before.

"Weiwei, what's wrong?!"

"Still thinking about your younger brother Li Qi?!"

"In my opinion, Li Qi is only sixteen, which is the prime of his life. If he gets injured at this time, it will only delay his cultivation. It is normal for him to temporarily avoid the limelight."

Next to Xu Wei, a girl with a bun hairstyle who was half a head shorter than her said that the girl's name was Han Shiyan.

"Exactly, that's right. Taking a step back opens up a whole new world. That's the way of the wise, much better than those who only know how to fight and be aggressive."

"After all, the strongest things are easily broken!"

Another girl with waist-length black hair and an oval face also said that her name was Yang Qiqi.

"Sigh! I..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wei hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

At this moment, she herself didn't know what she was thinking. She had come back specifically to clear her head, but in reality, she was drawn by the Great Witch's battle. To be precise, she wanted to see for herself what Li Qi's sword was really like...

Unfortunately, Li Qi did not appear yesterday, seemingly just as Han Shiyan said, he was temporarily avoiding the limelight.

But in truth, she also knew that whether or not this match was played was not important; what troubled her was something else entirely—the past, like a dream.
