"...Naughty."
Meng Chuan shook his head, stood up and left, reminding as he turned his back:
"I’m going to practice upstairs. Call me the morning after tomorrow."
With the semifinals approaching, even though he is facing a group of Three Limits, he still needs to adjust his state to the best to avoid any mishaps.
"Okay."
Yang Yuelian also got up, took her gun, and went to practice in another Martial Arts Chamber.
Although she doesn’t have a competition the day after tomorrow, practicing martial arts daily remains her instinctual habit.
Who can be entered into the national talent pool if not a hardworking genius?
Just now, she heard Meng Chuan say that he plans to break four next year.
Yang Yuelian felt an increasing urgency, fearing the gap between them would only widen...

The next night, at the Waterdrop Martial Arts Competition Center.
After expansion, the competition venue, which can accommodate 200,000 spectators, had all its lighting equipment fully turned on.
Under the dazzling lights, the blue and white tones intertwined, blending with the water’s reflection, resembling a cascading galaxy.
Since yesterday, photographers carrying ’long guns and short cannons’ flocked in, taking ferry boats into the river.
Nearly a thousand media outlets from various countries set up within the venue, waiting for the competition to begin the day after tomorrow.
To allow every citizen of Great Chu to have time to watch the competition and understand the development of modern youth martial arts,
from December 6th onwards, all workers nationwide, except those in public services, will have a seven-day holiday!
Upon hearing this news, millions cheered for the wisdom and might of the nation.
Early the next morning, tens of millions of households tuned into TV channels in advance, and a massive influx of audience flooded into the competition live streams on various major platforms.
The official live stream easily surpassed nine-digit concurrent online viewers.
The internet bandwidth was under pressure, and related topics continuously trended on social media.
The discussion on "Who Can Fight for Great Chu" continued to ferment.
People of all ages gathered, waiting quietly for the contestants to take the stage.
All Martial Arts University students nationwide watched this grand event together at their schools.
They were all anticipating who would represent them in Shangjing, to participate in this contest concerning national honor.
The outstanding individuals selected from millions of new-generation martial artists, this ultimate showdown,
is about to begin!
...
Outside the Waterdrop Martial Arts Competition Center, there was a bustling crowd.
Due to the overwhelming number of spectators, they were divided into batches entering from several entrances in advance.
The densely packed crowd flowed into the Waterdrop. Female livestream hosts with heavy makeup held up their phone stands, showcasing the scene to their viewers while exclaiming:
"This semifinal is much larger in scale compared to the previous provincial competition!
The sheer number of people on site has broken the record for martial arts event attendance, truly worthy of being the first global-level youth competition!"
At this moment, even a minor live-streamer with 300,000 followers had an unbelievable 500,000 views in her room!
She was one of the few who managed to snag a ticket for on-site viewing.
The curious netizens were eager to see the grand spectacle before the competition kicks off.
Outside the ’Waterdrop’, the crowd entered in an orderly manner.
Some participants arrived early, others...
...
Wow—
Meng Chuan pulled open the curtains, his flawless physique reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, causing Yang Yuelian behind him to stare intently...
He turned his head back:
"Let’s go to the venue. I got a message from the competition committee. We need to wait in advance. It’s already a bit late."
"Okay, give me a moment to change into a prettier dress."
With slender fingers, she pinned up her dark hair, tucking a few loose strands behind her ear and putting on dangling goldfish earrings.
Then she took out a creamy white gown with golden threads, enhancing her swan-like neck’s fairness and her perfect figure without appearing vulgar.
On the competitive stage, Meng Chuan was set to showcase his prowess, and she couldn’t let him lose face offstage!
"Do I look good?"
"You look great. Let’s head out."
Meng Chuan nodded in response, slightly reducing his stance, extended his hand to support his lady, and they left.
Yang Yuelian looked up at him slightly, her eyes full of hope.
Missing out on this competition, she wasn’t disheartened.
There’s a long future ahead.
She’s not just a vase, she’s also a talented national individual.
Although young, her talent rivals that of Emei’s Senior Sister Mu Nianxin.
With the assistance of the War Heart Clarity trait, she can surely close the gap, or even surpass him.
Of course, Meng Chuan’s help is also crucial.
By absorbing his martial arts essences through actual combat, her progress has been swift...
While walking, Meng Chuan looked at a message from United University.
A reminder for all participants to remember to wear their school uniforms for the competition...
Uh...
Meng Chuan looked at the magic mirror, feeling lucky.
Fortunately, he brought the Crimson Dragonfly outfit with him; otherwise, he would have received quite a lecture from Yang...
Replying ’received’, he scrolled down to look at the list of contestants in the group.
The one who qualified as the top from the provincial competition, the first on Northern United University’s Tiangang List, [Yuantao Hand · Xie Canglan].
This person is 28 this year, just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.
Everyone in United University believes that with his strength, he is sure to enter the finals.
The only pity is that if the competition were delayed by a year, Xie Canglan would surely reach Grandmaster status.
By then, the awkward situation of Four-sided Alliance University not being able to secure an overlord seat would be alleviated significantly.
At this, Meng Chuan remembered one thing.
He is still the third on Northern United University’s Tiangang List.
He wonders if, when facing this Yuantao Hand during the competition, he can seize the opponent’s top position.
Rising one position on the Tiangang List would increase the monthly credit allocation.
Meng Chuan is keen on being frugal and cherishing every martial arts resource.
Scrolling down the list, Meng Chuan saw a name that surprised even him.
Motohiko!
[Tiger King · Motohiko].
He had just recently broken three, and then he went on to defeat several seasoned masters in the provincial competition, making a strong advance into the Beijing competition.
