Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

When Li Lianjie saw He Xi throw the sword into the air and turn to kick, he frowned and instinctively tried to back away.

As a martial arts expert and action star, he has learned kicking sword techniques to injure people and has filmed similar scenes.

He Xi's move was clearly intended to kick the sword out.

Who is he going to hurt?

He had been filming for almost half a year, just waiting for this opportunity to assassinate someone.

Who at the scene was someone who deserved to be assassinated?

Commercial activity or political motive?

Who exactly does he work for? Is he a Chinese-American agent who has been brainwashed by foreigners?

He was still a hitman bribed by the gang...

In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li Lianjie's mind, each one terrifying.

This is not his fault. Just over a year ago, his agent, a wealthy and powerful figure with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, was brazenly shot and killed on his way to work.

The murderer has not been caught yet.

(Still can't catch him after thirty years...)

Li Lianjie was so frightened that he ran back to Beidu to hide.

More than a year has passed since the storm passed, but some people are still overly suspicious.

The others didn't have these thoughts; they all looked at He Xi in surprise, wondering how he would catch the kick.

Some of the martial arts practitioners even began to mentally rehearse the possible follow-up moves they might make.

Then, He Xi delivered a roundhouse kick, striking the spinning sword hilt with pinpoint accuracy.

Instead of being kicked away, the longsword spun even faster in the air.

After kicking and turning around, He Xi reached out and grabbed the hilt of the longsword with both hands, one in front and one behind, and then slashed down to freeze it in place.

Swish!

He Xi stopped performing on stage, but the audience below seemed to be frozen in their seats as if a pause button had been pressed.

After a long while, someone started to speak, and everyone suddenly realized what was happening and began to applaud and cheer.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! That kick was something I could learn in ten years!"

"Was I seeing things? I felt like I was watching a movie. Could this be special effects?"

"I just thought of a dozen or so moves I could follow up with after turning around, but compared to this, all those ideas are garbage!"

"That kick I just delivered—among all the swordsmen in Hong Kong, I would call myself the strongest!"

"That move is so cool! It would be incredibly stylish in a movie. How come I never thought of such a cool move before!"

The veteran stuntmen below, who had filmed action scenes and done action design, were all amazed.

Yuan Heping, who was on stage, spoke up directly.

"Ah Xi, how did you come up with that move just now?!"

"I've been a motion director for so many years, and I never imagined such a sharp move!"

That's obviously an exaggeration. There are plenty of scenes in the movie that are much cooler than He Xi's sword kicking move.

But that's a movie; it can be faked using special effects, wire work, and editing.

And He Xi, right under everyone's noses, personally performed this incredible action.

This level of impact is comparable to the original timeline of Avatar's first appearance in a movie theater.

Both the moviegoers and the filmmakers were utterly shocked, exclaiming in unison, "Holy crap! I never knew it could be like this!"

He Xi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Eighth Master, you flatter me. This is just a trivial trick, nothing to brag about. Compared to the spectacular fight choreography you designed for the film, it's really nothing!"

Yuan Heping, however, got excited and wanted to exchange ideas on action design with He Xi on the spot.

Li Lianjie also overcame his fear and stepped out from behind the crowd, looking at He Xi with a mixture of shock and admiration, unable to resist praising him a few times.

The host, however, took charge of the situation.

"As expected, you have excellent skills. No wonder you were chosen by Brother Jie to play the second male lead. Your real kung fu is indeed quite impressive."

"I heard this is your first film, Xi-zai?"

He Xi shook her head.

"To be precise, this is my second movie, but the first one hasn't been released yet, so this is my first time on the big screen."

The host asked curiously.

"So what was your first movie, and which star did you work with?"

He Xi glanced at Li Lianjie.

"This is the premiere of 'Tai Chi Master,' so we won't talk about anything else."

Li Lianjie waved his hand and smiled.

"It's okay, just tell us if people are curious."

Perhaps feeling guilty for misunderstanding He Xi earlier, Li Lianjie looked at him with kindness and tolerance in his eyes.

After receiving approval, He Xi finally spoke.

"It was 'King of Destruction' that I filmed with Stephen Chow. I played the role of Master Broken Water Flow."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped in surprise.

"Was that terrifyingly muscular guy in the 'King of Destruction' promotional materials you played?"

The promotion for "King of Destruction" has already begun, but He Xi doesn't have many scenes in the promotional materials, and her hairstyle is different from her current one, with some exaggerated expressions, so people didn't recognize her at first glance.

The host, however, raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked a new question.

"We heard that Stephen Chow also knows kung fu."

"Since you've worked with both Brother Xing and Brother Jie, who do you think has the better kung fu skills?"

He Xi frowned involuntarily.

Stephen Chow and Jet Li are both considered top figures in the Hong Kong film industry.

He's just a nobody in the entertainment industry, what right does he have to judge the strength of big shots?

Is the host trying to set a trap and provoke conflict, using this newcomer as a scapegoat?

After a moment's thought, He Xi shrugged, seemingly helpless.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, in the movies, I'm always the one who gets defeated."

"If the host really wants to know the answer to this question, he'll probably have to fight each of them himself, or call them into the ring for a head-on showdown."

The host was taken aback and wanted to ask another question, but Yuan Jieying, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up.

"If you really want to know the answer to this question, why don't you ask Brother Jie? He's worked with Brother Xing before."

Jet Li and Stephen Chow collaborated on a film called "Dragon in the End of the World" in 89.

At that time, Jet Li was already famous and the absolute protagonist, while Stephen Chow was just a nobody.

It was also during that film that Jet Li met Li Zhi, which led to the story of him abandoning his wife and children.

The host was speechless. He wanted to ask Li Lianjie but couldn't bring himself to do it, and he couldn't lash out at Yuan Jieying either, so he had no choice but to quickly end the topic and continue with the rest of the program.

He Xi was not called on again, but everyone in the audience remembered this young man who wielded the sword so skillfully.

Soon, the entire process was completed, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and the movie officially began.

The movie opens quickly, with two children, Junbao and Tianbao, meeting at a temple and becoming fellow disciples. They then practice martial arts together, fight together, and get punished together.

Liu Xun, who plays their master Jueyuan, has a mustache that makes him look like a dignified and enlightened monk.

The Thousand-Faced Buddha truly lives up to his name!

The scene then shifts to the two adults, and He Xi makes her first official appearance on the big screen in a movie theater.

Watching the movie she acted in for the first time, He Xi had a very subtle feeling, a kind of inexplicable...sense of shame.

Beside her, Yuan Jieying quietly crept over.

"Xi-zai, you're so handsome! You even outshine Brother Jie!"
