Urban Martial Saint

”Okay, next one!” Shijia turned his head and beckoned Li Qianqiu to come over.

Li Qianqiu came forward under everyone’s gaze and also reached out to touch the turtle shell. His situation was not much different from Ye Qing’s, as he slowly closed his eyes, as if entering a meditative trance.

At this moment, the crowd became even more uproarious. If it were just Ye Qing, it would have been fine, but even Li Qianqiu was like this, making everyone suspicious that the Heavenly Mechanism Chart seemed to be real.

Nalan Tianyu was full of frustration. The fact that these two could feel something while he couldn’t, clearly showed that his aptitude was extremely mediocre.

Li Qianqiu also touched for about a minute before he opened his eyes and stepped aside.

”Get paper! Get paper! Quickly get paper!” Shijia shouted loudly, as if he was even more anxious than Ye Qing and Li Qianqiu, eager for them to quickly draw what they felt.

Two sheets of paper and two pens were placed in front of Ye Qing and Li Qianqiu, and they both simultaneously lowered their heads and began to write on the paper.

Everyone at the scene craned their necks, eager to see what exactly was being drawn on the paper because they were extremely curious about the Heavenly Mechanism Chart.

The two of them moved quickly, stopping their pens in less than half a minute.

”Bring it here! Bring it here!” Shijia ran over and took both of their papers.

Everyone also looked over, some even holding their breath to see what was drawn on the paper.

Shijia held up the two sheets of paper and took a careful look, even he was somewhat moved. At this moment, everyone around could see clearly. On the two sheets of paper, each had only two words; one wrote ”Wangdao” and the other ”Po Jun”.

”Po Jun! Po Jun! Hahaha...” Shijia immediately laughed and said, ”Indeed, I’ve found you, Po Jun Star, Po Jun Star!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. These people all knew about the Era of the Turmoil of the Three Stars of Sirius, and previously there were rumors that Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue’s disciple Lu Zian was the one responding to the Seven Kills Star. And now, the Po Jun Star has surfaced. Two out of the three stars of Sirius have appeared. If the third Greedy Wolf Star also emerges, what would become of this world?

It’s known by all: when the three stars converge, the world falls into chaos, a truth no one dares to doubt!

”Po Jun?” Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun also stood up, frowning as he looked at Li Qianqiu standing aside. The paper with ”Po Jun” written on it was indeed Li Qianqiu’s, indicating that Li Qianqiu truly corresponded to the Po Jun Star.

Prince Nalan looked at Li Qianqiu in amazement. The Po Jun Star holds the destiny of a natural great general. Historically, someone with this life grid could always be of great use.

Helian Tiehua had already stood up and quickly positioned himself in front of Li Qianqiu. He also wore a look of astonishment and doubt but maintained a determined attitude.

”You needn’t worry. How could we elders bully a junior?” Shijia waved his hand and said, ”The Seven Kills Star found by Lin Xuan Yue caused such a big commotion here, have you seen any elder step forward to kill him? The TriStar of Killer Breaker Wolf is an established fact, beyond human intervention. Even if we wanted to kill him, we absolutely couldn’t for various reasons—it’s against the will of heaven, understand?”

Helian Tiehua remained calm and said, ”I do not believe in heaven or earth, I only believe in myself. He is my disciple, and no matter what destiny he defies, no one can touch him.”

”General Helian, you worry too much,” Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun said. ”If the master truly intended to take action, there’s no need to say so much nonsense. Besides, the master is compassionate and would never kill.”

”Let’s hope that’s true!” Helian Tiehua looked at Shijia and said, ”Since that’s the case, let’s cut the chatter. Master, who won this round?”

”This…” Shijia looked at the two sheets of paper in his hand, revealing a rare embarrassed smile, and said, ”I do not know.”

”What?” There was an outcry, and Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun widened his eyes in surprise, ”Master, didn’t you say that if they drew what they felt, you could tell who won or lost?”

”That was just to fool you,” Shijia said. ”Did you really think that this Heavenly Mechanism Chart could test a person’s aptitude? The true function of this Heavenly Mechanism Chart is for fortune-telling. Everyone in the Iron Calculation Sect does fortune-telling. Have you seen anyone from the Iron Calculation Sect who practices martial arts? Aptitude doesn’t matter to them.”

”Ah?” Shen Tianjun was also taken aback and said, ”This... this... aren’t you deceiving us?”

”Yeah, I’m deceiving you.” Shijia said while putting the turtle shell on himself, ”I came this time to determine which one has the Broken Army’s Life Pattern. You know, that old guy messed up the Heavenly Mechanism by himself to stop me from finding the Killing Wolf TriStar, and even he couldn’t find it. Unless I use this method, I really can’t find this Broken Army’s Command. Now there’s only the Greedy Wolf’s Fate left. As long as we find him, we can take effective precautions. Alright, I won’t waste words, Buddha Master has important matters to attend to, I’ll leave first. You guys continue with the matchmaking.”

After Shijia finished speaking, he had already stuffed the turtle shell into his clothes, then turned around, ran to Joyous Monk’s side, pulled him along, and ran straight away, giving no one a chance to stop them.

Ye Qing’s eyes widened, he almost spat blood. This old bald donkey Shijia, earlier, he looked so upright that even Ye Qing believed him. Unexpectedly, this old fellow was still deceiving. The most crucial thing is, everyone on the scene was fooled by him, thinking that the Heavenly Mechanism Chart could really test a person’s aptitude, all craning their necks to watch, probably quite a few people on the scene feel like spitting blood now.

”How is this old guy still alive?” Watching Shijia and the monk run far, Huang Yidao suddenly said, ”With his antics, it’s amazing he hasn’t been beaten to death yet!”

Before anyone could answer, Shijia’s voice was heard from afar: ”Hey, I can still hear you. You with the surname Huang, badmouthing behind my back, next time Buddha Master won’t hesitate to slap you!”

Huang Yidao nearly spat blood, Shijia, that old bald donkey, was already halfway up the mountain and could still hear the voices from here, his ears were too sharp!

The two on the scene who also wanted to curse hesitated after hearing this and gave up the idea. Everyone watched as the two monks ran away until they were out of sight, then turned to look at Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, and Prince Nalan, who were equally astonished.

After a long while, Prince Nalan finally looked at Shen Tianjun and said, ”Shen, what do we do now?”

”This...” Shen Tianjun looked at Ye Qing and Li Qianqiu on the scene, frowned slightly, and said, ”The third round, only Ye Qing and Li Qianqiu are left now, this...”

”Shen, the master’s Heavenly Mechanism Chart is fake, so Tianyu’s earlier assessment shouldn’t count.” Prince Nalan said, ”So there should still be three people. But how to conduct this third round, we need to discuss, right?”

Shen Tianjun looked at Helian Tiehua, originally thinking Shijia came to help Ye Qing, so he wasn’t worried. But now Shijia ran away without helping Ye Qing a bit, what to do now? How should this third round be conducted to let Ye Qing win?

”Senior Shen.” At this moment, Li Qianqiu suddenly stepped forward and said, ”I want to withdraw from this third round.”

”What?” Everyone on the scene looked at Li Qianqiu, even Helian Tiehua gave him an astonished look.

”Master, I’m sorry.” Li Qianqiu bowed to Helian Tiehua and said, ”I’ve let you down, but I think Ye and Miss Shen make a better match. As the saying goes, better to break ten bridges than one marriage. A gentleman aids in other people’s success; even though I’m no gentleman, I also don’t wish to steal someone’s love!”

Helian Tiehua stared at Li Qianqiu for a moment, then slowly nodded and said loudly, ”Well, worthy to be my student. Since you’ve decided, that’s settled!”

Helian Tiehua finished speaking, turned to Shen Tianjun, and said, ”Shen, I apologize.”

Li Qianqiu’s words made Shen Tianjun change his view of him considerably. Apart from him having the Broken Army’s Life Pattern, the mere fact that he could withdraw at this moment was certainly the act of a gentleman, which Shen Tianjun greatly appreciated.

”General Helian, why say this?” Shen Tianjun said sincerely, ”A student’s momentum truly follows the general’s grandiosity. If not busy, I hope Worthy Nephew Li can stay at Shen Family Manor for a few days. Although I’m not as learned as General Helian, I have some unique martial arts, which Worthy Nephew Li could learn.”

Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun personally offered to teach Li Qianqiu martial arts, which is a rare opportunity. Helian Tiehua was also overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, ”With such an opportunity, of course, it’s much desired. Qianqiu, quickly thank Senior Shen!”

”Thank you, Senior Shen!” Li Qianqiu bowed to Shen Tianjun.

”No need for such courtesy!” Shen Tianjun laughed heartily, turned to Prince Nalan, and said, ”Nalan, only your grandson and Ye Qing are left now. How should this third round be competed?”

Prince Nalan frowned slightly, fully aware of the gap between Nalan Tianyu and Ye Qing. In this third round, no matter what the competition, Nalan Tianyu would certainly lose, and continuing would only be embarrassing. He originally intended to help Li Qianqiu win, thus solidifying relations with Helian Tiehua. Unexpectedly, after Li Qianqiu announced withdrawal, it only brought Helian Tiehua and Shen Tianjun closer. Now he’s left empty-handed.

”For this third round, I think it’s better not to compete!” Prince Nalan said, ”Just as Worthy Nephew Li said, a gentleman aids in others’ success. Since Worthy Nephew Ye and Miss Shen match so well, it’s inappropriate for Tianyu to interfere. Shen, my Nalan Family also withdraws from the matchmaking!”

With Helian Tiehua and Prince Nalan’s withdrawal, there is only Ye Qing left in this third round. Therefore, competing or not competing has no meaning anymore; Ye Qing has become the winner of this matchmaking.
