Chapter 1047: Chapter 723: Showing Off Love [26] Your Ancestor Is Your Ancestor [Second Update]
"Do you know who the female demon who overturned all the martial arts halls in Meishanel Town a few years ago is?"
"..."
Mr. Bay was startled.
He nearly couldn’t believe it as he spoke, "Her?"
"Yes, it’s her." Sir Bay nodded, "She didn’t ride on anyone’s coattails; everything she earned, she earned herself."
Mr. Bay’s face turned slightly pale.
When Nora Scott "swept through Meishanel Town," Mr. Bay happened to be away, taking a batch of students with him, so he missed it.
When Nora came to challenge the hall, only Sir Bay and a few of his direct disciples were there.
At first, Sir Bay didn’t take Nora seriously at all, just letting his direct disciples deal with her casually. Unexpectedly, Nora quickly and cleanly defeated them one by one.
Sir Bay, unwilling to see the reputation of the martial arts hall he had managed for years destroyed, personally sparred with Nora. As a result, Nora used the set of punches taught by his master and defeated him with absolute superiority.
Only after exchanging blows did Sir Bay learn of Nora’s identity—his master’s junior sister.
At first, he didn’t take Nora to heart too much.
Who would have thought that, a few days later, he would suddenly learn that Nora had challenged one hall after another, overthrowing all the martial arts halls in Meishanel—
He finally saw Nora in a different light.
"How old was she back then?" Mr. Bay’s expression was complex.
Sir Bay paused for a moment and said, "About 20, I guess." He then sighed, "A hero indeed emerges from the youth; her skill at that time was one of the best in the martial arts world."
Mr. Bay: "..."
Though he had won multiple martial arts championships and had some reputation, Sir Bay often said he lacked talent in martial arts, and once he had reached his peak, that was it, with no great achievements ahead.
However, in this era, the matter of whether or not one had martial arts talent was something few people cared about.
So Mr. Bay later switched careers to focus on managing the martial arts hall, becoming a thorough businessman.
But—
Even if "martial arts talent" really meant nothing, having once had a martial arts dream, he could not help but be envious when he truly encountered a martial arts genius.
"By the way." Sir Bay then added, "Do you know Biel Hall?"
Mr. Bay looked up in surprise, "I know."
The Villains Valley and Villains Street of Meishanel Town were all taken over by people sent from Biel Hall.
Anyone in this circle knew of Biel Hall’s existence.
—After all, Biel Hall’s predecessor was a martial world organization.
Mr. Bay continued, "I know you know the Hall Master of Biel Hall. Last year, for her birthday, you put quite a lot of thought into gathering birthday gifts for her."
Mr. Bay was quite proud of this point.
The Hall Master of Biel Hall held absolute authority in the martial world.
His old man knew such a person—
How could he not be proud?
Then, he heard his old man say seriously, "She is the Hall Master of Biel Hall."
"..."
Mr. Bay was not only speechless but his eyes were wide with surprise.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said tremulously, "How old is she?"
He was not really asking about her age.
Rather, he was marveling at Nora’s achievements.
How could she be the Hall Master of Biel Hall at such a young age?
"I could tell you were not very pleased earlier, but the world is full of those who hide their strength and bide their time, and it’s never wise to judge by appearances, or you’ll fall into a trap without knowing it."
Finally, Sir Bay gave a word of advice and then stood up and went to the backyard.
Mr. Bay sat in his chair, shocked for a long time.
After a while, he suddenly pulled out his phone and sent a message to his second disciple—
[For the next round of selection, choose Nora Scott!]
*
The three groups of guests and the three martial arts halls arrived at the designated location.
This segment involved guests and martial arts halls selecting each other. They first made mutual selections, but even if both the martial arts halls and guests wanted each other, nothing was finalized.
Because the martial arts halls would then hold one-on-one matches to determine priority in selection.
At that time, they could "snatch" participants.
The show announced the rules, and the three groups of guests and the three martial arts halls sent out slips of paper, allowing them to make their choices.
The live broadcast room was full of speculation:
[Nora Scott and the Walk-the-World Martial Arts Academy are so familiar with each other; they will definitely choose each other. No doubt about it.]
[Nora Scott and Walk-the-World are a perfect match. Emily Bay and Tengfe are like family. These two groups are solid bets.]
[Lennon Turner and Margaret Stone know nothing about martial arts; they performed poorly at Meishanel Martial Arts Hall. If I were from Meishanel, I would definitely choose Emily Bay’s group.]
[Congratulations to Emily Bay and Anthony Santos for being picked by two martial arts halls. Finally, they have a moment in the spotlight and won’t be overshadowed by Nora Scott and Pedro Langley!]
[Emily Bay’s fans are shedding tears of joy and setting off fireworks.]
[Looking forward to Emily Bay’s moment of glory.]
...
Just as netizens believed the results were certain and had matched the guests and martial arts halls, the show also tallied up their results and began to announce—
"Nora Scott and Pedro Langley chose Walk-the-World Martial Arts Academy."
[No surprise.]
[No surprise. +1]
[No surprise. +2]
...
"Emily Bay and Anthony Santos chose Tengfe Martial Arts School."
[No surprise.]
[No surprise. +1]
[No surprise. +2]
...
"Lennon Turner and Margaret Stone chose Meishanel Martial Arts Hall."
[No surprise.]
[No surprise. +1]
[No surprise. +2]
...
"Walk-the-World Martial Arts Academy chose Nora Scott and Pedro Langley!"
[As predicted one by one.]
[Netizens are amazing.]
[The remaining two are for Emily Bay, nothing’s changed.]
[Tsk tsk, this should be the netizens’ moment of glory. Stand up! Applause!]
...
"Tengfe Martial Arts School chose Nora Scott and Pedro Langley!"
[Hmm???]
[Abandoning their junior sister and choosing the master uncle and ancestor?? What’s the deal?]
[...Though it’s a bit of a surprise, it makes sense.]
[Well, after all, it’s an ancestor! We can’t let the ancestor lose face, so they were chosen.]
[It’s okay, there’s still Meishanel Martial Arts Hall.]
...
Netizens are actively coming up with reasons for Tengfe Martial Arts School’s choice but are also looking forward to Meishanel Martial Arts Hall’s selection.
Then—
"Meishanel Martial Arts Hall chose Nora Scott and Pedro Langley!"
[...]
[...]
[...] I’ll smack your ancestor!
