People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 353 Will we be number one in the world next year?

"Mr. Li Qi, it's finally time for us to meet formally."

"I watched the entire match. Your sword strikes brought forth a storm, and your raised hand subdued Buzhou Mountain. There are legends about that circulating online now..."

In a bright, casually styled studio, a short-haired, capable-looking woman smiled and spoke to Li Qi.

This person is named Gu Xing'er, the reporter who interviewed Li Qi this time, and also the ace of Mingcheng TV. She is very young, only twenty-five years old, but her abilities are outstanding. Of course, her family background is also quite good, otherwise it would be impossible for her to be sitting opposite Li Qi at this time.

After all, Li Qi is the number one young person among 300 million people, and his status in Mingyu is extremely high.

Even if we look at the entire Kyushu, there are only a little over two hundred people like him, based on the total population.

This number is certainly not small, but it should be noted that it is comparable to 60 billion.

One in three hundred million people is exceptional; this shows what's involved.

In fact, Gu Xing'er, who was interviewing Li Qi at this moment, was also somewhat dazed. She was born into a good family with a strong academic background and was a talented woman herself. After starting work, she went through many competitions and gradually made her way to where she is today.

In the end, however, he only received the opportunity to interview Li Qi once.

It has to be said that this is the true value of a championship.

She even felt that this was probably the closest she had ever been to him in her life. Right now, Li Qi had only broken through the three major limits. When he entered the Dao and even attained the True Dao, the difference between them would be like heaven and earth.

However, although her emotions were complex, she naturally possessed skill, though it was not apparent on her face. For Li Qi, though he could not read minds due to the wall of his heart, he could see all the emotional changes of those around him as clearly as the lines on his palm.

Sensing the other person's emotions, Li Qi also felt somewhat moved. He had watched her program before, when he was about twelve years old. At that time, she was not a host, but appeared as a talented woman at entertainment events on Mingcheng TV.

Her cheongsam and long hair were stunning, captivating many.

How can the moon in the sky and the people on earth possibly get close?

Li Qi was very fond of ancient Chinese style at the time and was greatly amazed by it, but he did not have any delusions, though he did know what reality was.

As for now, if he hadn't practiced his swordsmanship, he would never have been able to sit across from his opponent. But now that he has cultivated his skills and his swordsmanship is extraordinary, everything has been reversed. His opponent has given his all, but all he has gained is a chance to appear in front of him.

However, he had lost the sense of wonder he once had, and he had also lost worldly desires. His heart was filled only with the pursuit of true knowledge and the eternal Dao. He only wanted to become stronger, until he stood high in the sky, or even connected with the heavens.

"If I hadn't been online, I almost would have believed it. The most common thing circulating online is that I, Li Qi, was created out of thin air, specifically targeting Zhuang Buzhou, this NPC who wants to transform himself into a male protagonist in an urban novel."

"Judging from my current online reputation, I'm at least at the level of a mini-boss, and I've already moved beyond the category of a minor monster."

Li Qi responded with a faint smile, without any airs, just like a casual chat between friends.

Li Qi's attitude surprised Gu Xing'er. After all, she had always seen Li Qi as a serious and unsmiling person. During the competition, he simply sat quietly with his sword drawn, calm and indifferent. She thought he was a proud and aloof genius who wouldn't take others seriously.

Furthermore, Li Qi's final battle yesterday was truly earth-shattering, with his sword flashing like a storm and striking like lightning. It was so spectacular that no one dared to regard him as an ordinary person.

In fact, Gu Xing'er felt a lot of pressure when interviewing Li Qi. After all, none of the previous Fish and Dragon Cup champions had ever broken through three major limits at the age of sixteen, and were even considered invincible figures in this field.

Many people now believe that Li Qi has a high chance of passing the imperial examination with top honors in all three levels. Indeed, in the entire Southern Continent, after the Fish and Dragon Cup ended, a total of five people broke through the three major limits. Apart from Zhuang Buzhou, there are two other people with Heavenly Star in their destiny. However, those two people may not be a match for Li Qi.

As for next year's Mountain and River Grand Examination, with the Three Saints and Seven Immortals now suppressing the universe, everyone can only look up to them. Li Qijun is definitely out of the running, and perhaps he can make it into the top fifty...

Gu Xing'er believed that if she had achieved what Li Qi had when she was sixteen, she would have been arrogant, thinking that she was the only one who mattered in the world and that she would not care about anyone else.

Undoubtedly, she was using the perspective of an ordinary person to speculate about an extraordinary cultivator.

However, in reality, some geniuses, because they are born into high positions, have a rather arrogant mindset when they are young. Only after encountering setbacks do they realize their mistakes.

Li Qi, having risen from humble beginnings, did not have this problem.

"Um……"

"The voices online are indeed somewhat sharp, but some do not represent the whole."

"In our fan group, it's a completely different story; it's just a legend!"

"However, we fans are all very curious now, Li Qi, what are your plans for the future?"

"I wouldn't call it a plan, but rather going with the flow. If I can achieve the highest honors in the imperial examinations this year and be the best in the country next year, that would be wonderful."

Li Qi smiled and said it very casually.

Because this interview was not a screen recording but a live broadcast, when Li Qi talked about online topics, the live broadcast room was full of laughter and joking. But as Li Qi continued to speak, after a brief silence, there was an overwhelming "Wow!"

The barrage of comments filled the screen.

However, at this point, naturally no one thought that Li Qi's second half of the sentence was sincere; they only thought he was joking. On the contrary, the possibility of achieving the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations was indeed possible.

As for being the best in the world, the Three Saints and Seven Immortals are still very prestigious, and the top ten have already been decided.

If you're facing a triple challenge and then a five-fold one, what can you use to fight it? It can't be passion.

And so, the forty-minute interview ended in casual conversation. The whole process went very smoothly, and Li Qi's remarks on the show undoubtedly made a more three-dimensional impression of him in other people's minds.

After watching the show, some people started using the "Number One in the World" meme, commenting things like "Master Li, when will you become the number one in the world?" under some of Li Qi's videos, which made Li Qi even more popular.

In the evening, Li Qi's interview video once again caused a sensation in Mingyu, because as is customary, in order to inspire the younger generation, students in the third grade and above are required to watch it and write some reflections.

Under these circumstances, the name Li Qi was undoubtedly remembered more deeply by many people.

As for Li Qi, he and Sun Guang boarded a plane home at noon.
