Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 107 Holy crap, who is Li Sushang?

To resolve his doubts, Lin Qiong approached the two people.

"Brothers, may I ask what the Jingfeng Ship and Xingtian Martial Arts are?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiong's question, the two men exchanged glances, both seeing a look of confusion on each other's faces.

Seeing that neither of them answered him.

Lin Qiong felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask again, "Um...would it be convenient for you to tell me about the Competition Ship and the Starry Sky Martial Arts Competition?"

The fox-man frowned, his gaze lingering on Lin Qiong for a moment, as if scrutinizing him carefully.

After a while.

The fox-man slowly spoke: "Brother, judging from your appearance, you're probably not a local of Luofu, are you?"

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, clearly surprised that Lin Qiong didn't know what the Jingfeng Ship and the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony were.

Lin Qiong nodded.

The fox-man cleared his throat and continued, "Well, that all starts with that arrow from the Emperor's Bow and Fate-Bearing Master. It was once said..."

"Stop, stop, hold on, just give a brief explanation."

Seeing the fox-man adopt a storyteller's tone, Lin Qiong quickly made a pause gesture to interrupt him.

Lin Qiong had a premonition that if he let the fox-man continue speaking at his own pace, he probably wouldn't hear the main point until the Starry Sky Train departed.

"this......"

After being interrupted by Lin Qiong, the fox-man man appeared somewhat dejected.

He originally thought this was a good opportunity to share the history of the Xianzhou with outsiders.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed uninterested in this lengthy history.

"Let me explain."

The merchant next to the fox-man patted him on the shoulder and began to explain to Lin Qiong in a more direct way.

"Brother, look, that's the Jingfeng warship." The merchant pointed to a huge, streamlined warship in the air and said, "It was once a giant fighting ship that participated in the Third Bountiful People's War."

During that time, it slew countless bountiful creatures, achieving astonishing results.

Lin Qiong looked in the direction the merchant pointed.

A warship, resembling a steel behemoth, was silently hovering in the air.

Judging from its size alone, it might be hundreds of times larger than the Star Train, like a moving sky city.

at the same time.

The merchant's gentle voice continued to ring in Lin Qiong's ears.

"After the Jingfeng ship was decommissioned, it was converted by the Engineering and Construction Department into a venue for the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony."

Listening to the merchant's story, Lin Qiong nodded, his interest in the Competition Ship growing stronger.

This might be the next new area to be launched, following Pinocchio.

If that's the case, then "Starry Sky Martial Arts" should be the theme of the subsequent plot.

To figure out what's inside.

Lin Qiong asked the merchant again, "Could you elaborate on this 'Starry Sky Martial Arts' ceremony for me?"

The merchant nodded and continued his explanation: "The Starry Sky Martial Arts Competition is a regular martial arts event held in Luofu, aimed at making friends through martial arts. Its scale covers almost the entire universe."

"At that time, top experts from various star systems will be invited to gather together, while Luo Fu will wait for the challenge from heroes from all walks of life as the defending champion."

"A martial arts tournament open to the entire universe? And it's Luofu defending its title?"

After listening to the merchant's explanation, Lin Qiong couldn't help but picture this scene in his mind.

On the arena.

Huang Quan stood tall and straight on it, while opposite her was Jing Yuan, who was equally formidable.

The two stared at each other for a while, and finally, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Jingyuan clasped his hands in surrender.

What? You're asking why they didn't take action?

That's because the envoy's strength is too great. If a real fight were to break out, the entire arena would probably be destroyed.

Just as Lin Qiong was thinking this, the merchant waved his hand in front of him, pulling him back to reality.

"Hey bro, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Lin Qiong snapped out of his reverie, scratched his head sheepishly, and laughed, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what would happen if a Commander-level expert appeared in the competition."

Upon hearing this, the merchant was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Haha, don't worry, a powerful envoy wouldn't even look at our petty squabbles."

"We are here to make friends through martial arts, not to fight to the death. Even if a powerful expert at the Envoy level participates, they can only make a point and must not harm the contestants."

"Moreover, with General Jingyuan here, it's impossible for any accidents to happen."

When Jingyuan was mentioned, the merchant's tone became more confident.

It was as if, in the Immortal Boat, Jing Yuan's name was like a golden signboard, their strongest support and guarantee.

at the same time.

The fox-man beside the merchant nodded in agreement, loudly proclaiming, "Yes, General Jingyuan is the most powerful person on Luofu!"

however.

What the fox-man said was overheard by an old man with a full beard standing nearby.

He raised an eyebrow, expressing his doubt about what the fox-man had said.

"That's not quite right! The general's prowess stems from his achievements in multiple fields. But when it comes to martial arts alone, the former 'Sword Master' of Luofu is undoubtedly the best!"

"I was fortunate enough to survive the Second War of the Bountiful People. I witnessed firsthand how the Sword Master annihilated countless bountiful creatures with a single swing of his sword."

"His heroic figure is still unforgettable!"

The old man stroked his beard, as if the sword strike was replaying before his eyes, and his tone was full of emotion.

These words immediately attracted the attention of many young people.

They all turned their heads, seemingly filled with curiosity about the legendary story the old man was telling.

Sudden.

A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Oh dear, sir, you can't say that."

As the voice faded, a fox-woman dressed in gorgeous attire slowly pushed through the crowd and gracefully walked in.

"As far as I know, the former 'Sword Master' has been missing for over a hundred years, so she can no longer be considered the strongest person in Luofu today."

Lin Qiong was stunned when he saw the fox-woman join the argument.

He never expected that the martial arts competition would be so popular on the immortal ship.

The people here, regardless of age or gender, all seem to have a strong interest and enthusiasm for martial arts.

Lin Qiong looked around and found that everyone in the crowd seemed to be immersed in this heated discussion.

"Oh? Young lady, in your opinion, who can bear the title of the strongest in Luofu?"

The old man squinted, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

But the words had barely left his mouth.

The fox-woman's face lit up with a lovesick expression.

She gently bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling, and her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was trying her best to control her excitement.

"Of course, it's Yanqing, the most handsome and strongest man in Luofu today."

The fox-woman's voice was tinged with sweetness and pride, as if Yanqing were her idol.

"Yanqing is not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts and unparalleled in swordsmanship, but most importantly, he has already demonstrated talent and potential beyond that of ordinary people at a very young age."

"I believe that with Yanqing's talent and hard work, he will definitely become the new Sword Master of Luofu in the future."

At this point, a bright smile bloomed on the fox-woman's face, like a bee seeing nectar.

Her undisguised infatuation made everyone present feel ashamed.

However, many people felt that the fox-woman made a lot of sense and agreed with her point of view.

In a short time.

A murmur of discussion arose around them as everyone began to hotly debate who was most likely to become the new Sword Master of Luofu.

Just then.

A series of urgent shouts came from outside the crowded area.

"Make way, make way, the latest rankings for Luofu are out!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to surge, with everyone moving to the outside to make way for him.

at the same time.

People unconsciously focused their gaze on the man holding the long scroll, or more precisely, on the ranking list in his hand.

After the man unfolded the leaderboard and steadily pasted it onto the blank list.

His figure was immediately engulfed by the surging crowd, who rushed forward, eager to see every name listed on the leaderboard.

"Look, I told you Yanqing was number one!"

A clear female voice rang out from the crowd; it belonged to the fox-woman.

She pointed excitedly to the top spot on the list, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong also turned his gaze to the top of the list.

There, Yanqing's name was written in large, bold letters at the top, making it particularly eye-catching.

however.

Next to Yanqing's name, there seems to be another name right next to it.

Before Lin Qiong could even turn his gaze over, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Holy crap, who is Li Sushang?"
