While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

[The older generation includes Gan Baobao, Qin Hongmian, Li Qingluo, Ruan Xingzhu, Dao Baifeng, and Kang Min.]

There are also the Tianshan Child Granny Wu Xingyun and the Li Qiushui and Li Canghai sisters, who are nearly 100 years old but still look young.

[Tsk, without realizing it, we've already counted to twenty-one, and more than half of them are related to Duan Zhengchun—either wives, mistresses, or illegitimate daughters.]

In a sense, the three brothers of Tianlong are just the main characters on the surface; Duan Zha is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

As for "The Four Great Constables," I don't know which version it is, or whether the character Wuqing is male or female.

When will you ask someone about it, or will you go and take a look yourself?

[Speaking of other stunning beauties in martial arts works, there are probably other characters like Yaoyue and Lianxing in this world, right? And there's also Shi Feixuan, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Ren Yingying, Fu Tianxiang, Mingyue, Bai Axiu...]

[I've gone off on a tangent. We don't even know if these people still exist in this world, so it's too early to talk about this now.]

However, when discussing the most beautiful women in martial arts novels, three women are usually indispensable.

They may not be the most outstanding, but they are probably the most well-known.

[Any Chinese person who has watched martial arts dramas in their past life might not know about other beauties, but they would definitely know these three.]

The first one is Wang Yuyan.

After all, she's the "fairy sister" mentioned by Duan Yu, the main protagonist of Tian Long Ba Bu, and also the number one female lead in Tian Long Ba Bu; she always has a certain level of prestige.

In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Wang Yuyan is deeply in love with her cousin Murong Fu. She studies the martial arts manuals of various schools and sects for him and can see through almost all martial arts moves. She is a profound martial arts theorist.

[It's a pity that in a world where martial arts are revered, this woman doesn't practice martial arts!]

What a waste of such great talent!

The reason given was simply that she disliked martial arts and didn't enjoy swordplay and fighting.

This is outrageous!

It's important to understand that "having a sword but not using it" and "having no sword to use" are two completely different things.

Moreover, despite Wang Yuyan's willful behavior, Li Qingluo didn't try to dissuade her, letting her waste her potential.

[Wang Yuyan, a young girl who has never left home, is unaware of the dangers of the world and is acting recklessly. You, a man in your thirties, surely understand such a simple truth?]

Putting aside other issues, if Yun Zhonghe, one of the "Four Evils," were to enter Mantuo Manor, how would Mantuo Manor possibly repel him?

[Relying on Murong Fu, who spends all his time running around dreaming of restoring his kingdom?]

While Yun Zhonghe is no match for Murong Fu, Murong Fu cannot always be stationed at your Mantuo Manor.

In this world of martial arts, the situation is even more dangerous. I wonder if Wang Yuyan will still be as confused as she was in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

[I'm not going to guess anymore. Anyway, Mantuo Manor is in Suzhou. I'll go there later and see if Wang Yuyan is as beautiful as described in the original novel.]

[Next up, the Little Dragon Girl of Zhongnan Mountain]

The female protagonist of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is a truly otherworldly fairy, untouched by worldly affairs, a goddess in the hearts of countless people in China in her past life, and a fairy for whom men would be willing to go through fire and water.

[It's unknown whether it even exists in this world.]

If she is there, I must find her as soon as possible, lest she be defiled by Zhen Zhibing like in the original story, and thus begin her tragic life.

Although the world of martial arts has changed, Xiaolongnü may not encounter Yang Guo's adoptive father Ouyang Feng, and Zhen Zhibing may not have an opportunity to take advantage of her, but one should never rely on luck, or one will regret it.

"Dragon Knights"—everyone hates them, yet everyone wants to be one.

[The last stunning beauty that cannot be ignored in martial arts novels...]

002. Cicada Awakening, Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique

Suzhou.

Inside an ordinary house, Jiang Sishui put down her pen and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Three thousand words for the first day is enough. I can submit it now."

[Congratulations on officially unlocking the "Diary System"! You are rewarded with the special talent "Cicada Awakening"!]

[Congratulations on completing your first diary entry! You are rewarded with the Heavenly Skill "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique"]

Congratulations on completing today's diary entry! Reward: Martial Arts Experience +500

As a series of ethereal celestial sounds echoed in her mind, three orbs of light appeared on the diary, then merged with the pen, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into Jiang Sishui's body.

"Cicada Awakening? Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique? Martial Arts Experience?"

Jiang Sishui stared intently at the three orbs of light in front of her. Was this the system's reward?

He reached out and grabbed the first ball of light, which then transformed into specks of rosy light that merged into his heart.

At the same time, Jiang Sishui also understood what this "cicada's sense of awareness" was.

Simply put, this is a kind of telepathic ability.

Targeting dangerous psychological perceptions!

As the saying goes, "The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it arrives": the cicadas have already sensed the coming of autumn.

With the "cicada's sense of awareness," Jiang Sishui can know the moment someone harbors ill intentions towards him or when danger is imminent.

The range of perception was within a radius of thirty feet around where Jiang Sishui stood.

That is, within a hundred-meter range.

"Amazing!" Jiang Sishui exclaimed in surprise, overjoyed.

When navigating the martial world, the most dangerous thing is encountering an opponent whose strength far surpasses one's own and facing numerous conspiracies and schemes.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to draw the skin of a tiger, but hard to draw its bones; it's easy to know a person's face, but hard to know their heart."

Human hearts are unpredictable and difficult to guard against.

One wrong move and you could fall into someone else's trap.

With her special talent "Cicada Sense," Jiang Sishui, while not being able to eliminate all conspiracies and schemes, can at least distinguish between friend and foe.

This kind of good stuff is practically a guarantee of a safe and secure life!

After calming his excitement, he reached for the second ball of light.

The next moment, a sharp and bright white sword light flashed out like lightning and pierced into Jiang Sishui's brow.

Jiang Sishui subconsciously closed her eyes.

In an instant, a powerful sword intent emanated from every pore of Jiang Sishui's body, and he seemed to transform into a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, ready to cleave the heavens!

Fortunately, this strange phenomenon was contained within three feet of Jiang Sishui's body and did not escape, otherwise he would have had no chance of saving his wooden house.

Two breaths later, the sword intent dissipated, and Jiang Sishui's "sharp sword" seemed to return to its sheath.

The sharp edges have faded, and we have returned to simplicity.

Jiang Sishui remained motionless, carefully sensing for a while before slowly opening her eyes.

The sword intent from before had disappeared, but a "sword intent seed" had appeared in his mind.

The "Sword Intent Seed" is entirely silver-white, radiating light like a small star, and is currently spinning around as if waiting for the day it grows and matures.

Jiang Sishui, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, reached out and grabbed the last ball of light.

As the ball of light entered her body, Jiang Sishui felt that the "Sword Intent Seed" seemed to have grown slightly larger.

At the same time, a heavenly voice rang in my mind.

[Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique (Heavenly Skill): Beginner (500/**)]

Jiang Sishui was stunned for a moment.

Wait a minute, how many zeros?

He counted them carefully: six!

Six zeros! Nine million!

In other words, the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique" requires nine million martial arts experience points to reach its full potential.

If writing a diary for a day only yields 500 martial arts experience points, then it means he would have to write for 18,000 days.

That is, the last fifty years.

That's been way too long!

Jiang Sishui was just a scholar and didn't know about the martial arts realms and levels, but since it was called "Heavenly Skill," this swordsmanship must be quite good.

Perhaps perfection is invincible!

But Jiang Sishui still felt it was too slow.

This doesn't fit the image of a time-traveling protagonist at all!

Besides, if the system rewards other martial arts skills during this period, wouldn't that still require martial arts experience?

Five hundred experience points a day is simply not enough to go around.

"No! The system can produce such good things as 'Cicada Awakening' and 'Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique', it's impossible for it to be so useless."

Jiang Sishui calmed down and thought to herself, "I just got this diary, and I'm still figuring out how to use it. I can't draw any conclusions yet."

It was only the first day, and Jiang Sishui couldn't figure out the pattern yet. She could only wait a few days and write more diary entries to see.

"But what I lack most right now is internal energy cultivation techniques! Without internal energy cultivation, I have no internal strength. What use is a sword technique alone?"
