Chapter 328 Stars No. 05. Yagami Rin

[Real world, 13 stations]

'The Five-Directional Pagoda? This Martial Arts Capital seems to have some deeper layers.'

'Parents divorce, sisters go their separate ways—what a classic family drama plot! I bet Yu Qianxia's sister has a story to tell.'

'I remember in season two, the eldest sister, Yu Chinatsu, unintentionally mentioned that her father was dead. Could her father's death be related to the guys in Suzaku Ward?'

"If that's the case, shouldn't the eldest sister's surname be 'Mao'? How come her surname is 'Yu'?"

'Something's wrong. There seems to be something fishy about the boss's identity. There's definitely more to this than meets the eye.'

Although in the current third season, only some dialogues have taken place.

However, the amount of information contained within it sparked heated discussions among viewers on all 13 platforms.

Because it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Liu Ma's eldest sister, Yu Qianxia, ​​and the Qianxia Group behind her will definitely play a crucial role in the third season.

Meanwhile, throughout the second season, Yu Chinatsu only acknowledged that she was a member of the 'Feather Clan'.

This led the viewers to easily deduce that she didn't seem to approve of the father who brought her to the White Tiger District.

Thinking about it this way, many viewers in the anime and manga community discovered the potentially very complex family relationships behind Yu Qianxia.

My fascination with watching the drama unfold reached its peak at this moment.

Just as the viewers in the virtual world were getting ready to enjoy the drama unfolding outside their screens, Chen Kong and the others on screen also joined the crowd, eating their own "melon" from the events that were happening in Martial Capital.

The crowd eventually gathered in front of a martial arts tower in the White Tiger District.

As luck would have it, this tower was the very same 'Tower of Shattered Rock' that Vivian had shown Chen Kong not long ago.

Chen Kong and the others stood outside the tower, looking up at a huge screen not far away with the crowd.

The screen displays a 'Martial Arts Badge' challenge currently taking place inside the tower.

While 'badge challenges' are not uncommon in Martial Arts City, the fact that so many people have gathered here shows that this challenger definitely has a reason to attract attention.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong couldn't help but ask the man next to him, "Brother, why did you all come here? Who is the challenger?"

Upon hearing Chen Kong's words, the bald man didn't take his eyes off the screen and replied, "That's a genius who has emerged from the Moonshadow Clan in recent years, I think his name is something like Night, Night something?"

"Rin Yagami."

Before his older brother could finish speaking, Chen Kong subconsciously replied.

"Yes, yes, that's the name."

The older brother wasn't surprised that Chen Kong knew the name, after all, Yagami Rin's popularity in the recent Martial Arts World was by no means low.

At the same time, the man revealed the reason for the crowd gathering.

"This Yagami Rin, he has only been in Martial Arts City for less than three months, yet he has already successfully challenged 90 Martial Arts Towers without a single defeat."

"Do you know what this means? For an ordinary person, let alone getting 90 badges in three months, getting even one badge in three months is considered impressive. But she's like picking up badges as easily as picking them up."

At this point, the bald man couldn't help but sigh.

"So we are all very curious about when she will fail and when she will be able to surpass the people ahead of her."

"You should know that since the martial arts badges were introduced, there have been quite a few people who have been able to get more than 90 badges, but those who have been able to get more than 95 badges are very few and far between."

"Especially the Grandmaster who has obtained one hundred badges, only three people in the history of Martial Arts Capital have ever done so."

Chen Kong was taken aback and subconsciously said, "Is it difficult to get 100 martial arts badges? How come only three people have ever done it?"

The older brother gave Chen Kong a strange look.

"Young man, you're not a local from Wudao Tiandu, are you?"

Chen Kong nodded. "That's not surprising. You see, the so-called Martial Arts Badges are theoretically limited to 99, because there are no Martial Arts Badges in the central Heavenly Martial Qilin Tower."

"Therefore, to obtain this last martial arts badge, one not only needs to create a completely new martial arts style, but also needs to gain the recognition of the Central Heavenly Martial Qilin Tower."

"In other words, the one you need to defeat for this last martial arts badge is not someone else, but yourself. Otherwise, do you really think the title of Grandmaster is so easy to obtain?"

The bald man paused for a moment, then pointed to the large screen on the Shattered Rock Tower not far away.

“In previous years’ martial arts tournaments, very few participants could get 90 points. This year, however, the top few are all monsters.”

"Look at the leaderboard, Chenxing is 96, Jing Liuli is 95, Yeshen Lin is 90, and there's a hidden name who's 99. If you ask me, this isn't a ranking competition, it's a battle of gods."

After the bald guy finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help but chime in.

"Exactly, exactly. Not to mention Rin Yagami, I've seen Dust Star from NO2 before. When she challenged the Tower of Thunder, her whole body was covered in smoke from being electrocuted, but she recovered in the blink of an eye and turned the so-called 'Thunder Force' into 'Blood Flame Force.' Her martial arts talent is beyond human comprehension."

"Jing Liuli is even more bizarre. It is said that she used her dream ability to make the tower guardian recognize her school of thought in his dream, and almost easily obtained the badge."

"The tower guard said that wouldn't work, but she wouldn't admit it."

"After hearing this, Jing Liuli closed her eyes and slept for a while. When she woke up, she used that martial arts style to defeat the tower guardian, which stunned me. It was as if she could learn other people's martial arts styles in her dreams."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong finally understood what these people were looking at.

They were curious about how monsters like Dust Star, Mirror Glass, and Night God Rin would defeat the tower defenders.

After all, the daily lives of monsters are rare 'legends' in the eyes of mortals.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong immediately looked at the screen, at 'Yagami Rin' whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Following Chen Kong's gaze, the anime's camera shifted to the interior of the 'Shattered Rock Tower' at this moment.

The walls surrounding the challenge arena were dark gray, with diagrams of the Rock Smash technique engraved on them.

The center of the site is paved with bluestone slabs, and several simple stone blocks are placed along the edges for the tower keepers to rest.

The audience seating was located around the stone wall. Some people brought their own cushions, while others held hot soy milk, drinking and discussing in hushed tones.

"I'm coming!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the entire place fell silent instantly.

Shortly after, a flat-chested girl wearing dark training clothes walked into the venue through the side door.

Her footsteps were very light, almost silent. Despite being the challenger who was the center of attention, her expressionless and calm demeanor gave the impression that she wasn't there to challenge at all, but rather to complete some routine 'task'.

The tower guard opposite her was a middle-aged man with a thick beard.

The man, dressed in a heavy martial arts uniform with a rock pattern and holding a stone martial arts badge, said, "Yagami Rin, the challenge rules of our Rock Smashing Style are to withstand three of my 'Rock Smashing Fists' and, in the final move, use the Rock Smashing Style's 'Stillness Against Movement' technique to block my full-force attack. Is there a problem with that?"

Yagami Rin nodded calmly and said succinctly, "Okay."
