Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 112 The World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament

Please give Five Swords a good review, thank you~

"Uh, okay."

Lu Li was still in a daze when he received the food from the delivery guy.

Thank you, goodbye.

The man released his grip on the windowsill, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then did a backflip and jumped down.

Lu Li quickly peeked out and saw the delivery guy jumping around on the window and air conditioner sill before disappearing from sight.

No wonder it only took ten minutes to cover a distance of four or five kilometers.

If it's a small electric scooter, it would conservatively take forty minutes to deliver.

Lu Li's first reaction wasn't to sigh, but to pull out her phone and instantly open a dating app.

I've been through this several times already. Even a fool would know that this means my worldview has been altered.

Unfortunately, there were no new potential partners on the dating app.

Is it Achan?

Lu Li frowned.

Since no new blind date has come along, the only other being in the world with extraordinary powers besides himself is Li Tingchan.

And she's still missing and hasn't come back.

Lu Li had heard her say that her true form was not human but a demon.

But her power shouldn't be enough to pollute the world.

So she broke through to the "Void Breaking Realm" while she was unconscious?

Why does it speed up?

Isn't it going to take another year?

Moreover, even if she ascends to immortality a year later, she shouldn't have reached the Void Breaking Realm.

"What's wrong?"

Pan Shuai walked over.

Seeing Lu Li looking out the window with a furrowed brow, he suddenly realized, "Don't worry, the Juexiang Sect and the Punishment Division have already issued regulations that require delivery drivers registered on these food delivery platforms to undergo real-name authentication, including reporting their martial arts origins, martial arts level, and lineage."

"Then, apart from special professions such as food delivery drivers and outdoor cleaners, as well as official martial artists such as firefighters, other ordinary martial artists are not allowed to jump around on the exterior walls like this."

Lu Li: "...It's quite professional."

He didn't ask what the Juexiangmen and the Punishment Division were.

You can then search it online yourself.

"Alright, now that the food and drinks have arrived, when does the competition start?"

"Eight o'clock." Pan Shuai glanced at the time. "Holy crap! It's about to start! Quick, turn on the TV! We absolutely can't miss the opening sequence!"

It was obvious that he frequented Lu Li's house; he immediately found the remote, turned on the TV, and switched to CCTV-5.

The sports channel's martial arts program is also a way to train the body, so the sports channel is perfectly fine.

Lu Li didn't say anything, but sat down next to them to drink and watch TV.

The TV screen showed 7:55, and the last five minutes were, as is customary, the end of the week.

On the TV screen, a fair-skinned young man was kneeling on one knee, holding roses, pursuing a beautiful woman.

"Xiaoli! I'll do anything for you! Why don't you like me?"

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes. "I hate sissies the most."

Then, turning around, she took the arm of a muscular, square-faced man, her face full of sweetness, and said, "Only this kind of man is real."

The guy's chest muscles even twitched.

Then the two left, leaving only the pretty boy kneeling on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

"How can I become like that?"

At that moment, an even more muscular old man appeared in front of him, with a halo above his head.

Then he reached out his hand to the pretty boy.

The young man looked as if he had seen a deity, and then grasped that hand with a hopeful expression.

When he stood up, he realized that behind the old man were muscular men striking various poses.

At this moment, the narration begins.

"Do you also want to be a sunny, popular guy who's loved by girls? Don't hesitate! Don't be confused! Join our Iron Fist Gang now!"

Then the same couple reappeared, and the four of them stood side by side, addressing the audience:

"Join the Iron Fist Faction! Say goodbye to sissies! Don't just think about it, take action! What are you waiting for?"

Lu Li: "."

What on earth is all this?!

Could it be that this world admires muscular, ugly men with the art style of "Baki" and "Kengan Ashura"?

Wouldn't I, Lu, become an ugly monster in this world?

Although he has muscles due to his cultivation, they are the streamlined type, clearly the result of exercise, and not that exaggerated.

If they wear clothes, you can't tell at all.

But the next moment he changed his mind.

Because the next one will be even more ridiculous.

It was the same group of people as before, and even the plot of GG hadn't changed.

It's just that the muscular man and the pretty boy have switched roles.

Then the sect's name changed from Iron Fist Sect to Wave Sect.

Just as Lu Li was about to complain, he heard Pan Shuai sneer from the side.

"The Thousand Illusions Sect is getting more and more sloppy; they're even so perfunctory when making a game. If this happens a few more times, they'll ruin the reputation they've built up over the past few decades in the game industry."

Lu Li swallowed back what he was about to say.

This worldview is outrageous, but not that outrageous.

That's outrageous.

Several more problematic guys passed by, and finally it was eight o'clock.

The World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament has officially begun.

First, the opening sequence.

It uses a nostalgic visual style, and features battle scenes of various famous figures and legends.

In short, do whatever looks cool.

Some classic moments from the matches, paired with the commentary and background music from that time, are surprisingly exciting!

Lu Li even saw Li Guoping inside!

So this guy's already a legend.

"Young Master Pan, is your master involved too?"

"Yes, my master was named one of the 100 greatest martial arts stars in history last year!"

Pan Shuai was quite proud, "Unfortunately, all the contestants from Hanmen are experts at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm. I, who have only reached the Eight Apertures Realm, simply cannot enter."

Yes, he was quite proud of it.

A master who has achieved the state of "Heqiao Jing" (合窍境), where all eight orifices have been combined, is already a rare find in society.

It's like playing football.

The Harmonious Realm is equivalent to leagues like the Dutch Eredivisie and the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

It can't compare to the top five leagues, but it's a completely different world from casual players playing amateur football.

Lu Li ignored him.

I, Lu, am a genuine Acquired Great Perfection cultivator. Why would I envy your mere Qi Integration Realm?

He continued watching the game.

Everything in this worldview was new and exciting to him.

The match is played in a best-of-three (BO3) format.

First, there's the strategy of using a series of attacks.

Five people on each side, just like the KOF tournament with its gauntlets.

If all five players on one side lose, then that team loses that point.

The second match is a team battle, which is a five-on-five game.

The five players from the previous game went back on to continue the fight.

If someone is injured, there can be a substitute to play.

A maximum of five substitutes may be registered for the same match.

In other words, a team can register a maximum of ten players for a single match.

If the first two matches end in a 1-1 tie, then a third, sudden-death match will be played.

That is, each side sends one person to fight one-on-one, and the side that wins gets the point.

Therefore, it is common for one person to play three games in a row.

This is where a coaching team comes in.

The order in which characters are deployed, the counterplay of combat styles, the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, the positioning and coordination in team battles, and even how to conserve the stamina of team members.

These are all questions that coaches need to consider.

Another point is that although there is no age limit for athletes, they must be at least 18 years old, and there is no upper limit.

However, those at the Innate Realm are not allowed to participate.

In other words, the strongest contestant can only reach the state of oneness with nature.

The referees were all at the Innate Realm.

Besides acting as referees, their greatest use is to use their eyesight and skills to prevent danger.

After all, once anger is ignited, it's hard for players to stop at the last minute.

If you stop short of winning, it's either because you're too strong, or you weren't fighting seriously.

It's difficult to achieve a level of equal skill.

That's where the referee comes in.

They have contracts with both the Juexiang Sect and the Punishment Division. If a death occurs due to their mistakes or inaction during a competition they are in charge of, then they will also bear the relevant responsibility.

Of course, the benefits are also very good.

Therefore, many contestants who break through to the Innate Realm will become referees in the league after retiring.

Many people also choose to upgrade to the "individual competition".

The "individual competition" is purely one-on-one.

There are no restrictions on strength over there, but the lowest level in the national tournament of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is the Innate Realm.

However, it is only at the Innate Realm.

According to Pan Shuai, there are only two people in the legendary Daoist Natural Realm, and they are only suspected to be there.

One is the sect leader of the Juexiang Sect, and the other is the director of the Punishment Department.

The Juexiang Sect is a sacred place in the martial arts world, while the Punishment Division is an official organization.

No one in the martial arts world dared to cause trouble.

Because the Punishment Division really does kill people.
