Chapter 804: Vatican Expert

"Awesome, there's such a thing."

"I feel like the style of everyone's chatting will change in the future."

"Hehe, you mere Dong-Ming Realm martial artist, how dare you compete with me, a Kai-Yang Realm martial artist? Hand over your martial arts manual quickly!"

"Hehe, daring to speak to our young master like this, you've already found your own path to death."

"Our Zhang family in the capital has a True Martial Realm ancestor; do you dare to act presumptuously?"

………………

Netizens who like to stir things up directly turned the comment section into an online web novel exchange site.

But interestingly, such conversations might really happen in reality in the future.

Even for those who are slow, seeing the large amount of news about martial artists that started appearing in the second half of last year, they should know that martial arts have become a popular skill.

Now, martial arts halls for various boxing styles are blooming everywhere in China, and the number of applicants is like crucian carp crossing the river.

Within three years, China will have at least tens of thousands of ninth-grade, or Yin-Yuan Realm, martial artists.

And experts like those who participated in the Wu Gong Alliance Leader Conference and won provincial championships probably won't even need to take exams level by level; they could directly enter the top three grades.

Although high grades cannot be directly converted into social status and money for the time being.

But this industry has just started, and there are still many opportunities waiting for people to develop.

Capital will definitely make a big profit, and those smart experts who want to earn another fortune will definitely not find it difficult.

Looking at the current situation, the next ten years are expected to be an era of vigorous development for the martial arts industry, containing countless business opportunities; as long as one grasps them, crossing social classes will not be a problem.

Overnight, Miss Luo Quan's videos teaching ordinary people martial arts received thousands of reports, basically all from level two or three robot accounts; they were professional internet trolls.

If an ordinary person encountered such large-scale reporting, regardless of whether there was a problem with the video content, it would definitely be taken down first.

However, the reviewers saw that it was a video posted by Miss Luo Quan and didn't blindly ban it, but seriously watched the content and found there were no problems at all.

So despite encountering so many reports, the video was still there.

Then, the reviewer also told Miss Luo Quan about this.

At that time, her mood was very complicated.

Martial artists have now become a hot commodity. If ordinary people want to learn martial arts, besides meeting those hidden experts willing to pass on their skills, they can only go to martial arts halls to seek learning.

And now, for any boxing style, the monthly tuition fee is several thousand, and those with a little fame are directly over ten thousand.

And if it is a top expert in the True Martial Realm, it cannot be measured by money; the price to be paid is extremely terrifying.

In such a huge commercial chain, Miss Luo Quan actually explained the introductory secrets of martial arts so straightforwardly, including many unique skills of various boxing styles; the detail of the analysis made a group of old boxing masters exclaim that it was outrageous.

And the reward she asked for was actually a "triple-click" (like, subscribe, favorite); isn't this clearly destroying the market!

Peers are enemies, not to mention an enemy like Miss Luo Quan who asks for no return at all.

So some people wanted to take down this video through reporting, not giving others a chance to learn.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Miss Luo Quan's status on Bilibili, thinking that reporting could solve all problems, not knowing that when the Bilibili reviewers saw it was Miss Luo Quan, they had no intention of banning her video at all.

Plus, the videos Miss Luo Quan posted basically paid great attention to content norms, not even having any edge-ball content, so even if these people continued to report later, it would be impossible to succeed.

And Miss Luo Quan, who had been disgusted, certainly wouldn't be a mute, directly posting a status:

"Very interesting, my previous videos teaching ordinary people martial arts were actually reported, fortunately they weren't taken down.

Although I don't know who did it, if I want to check, I can definitely find out.

I think that people who practice martial arts should at least talk about martial ethics. If you think what I teach is wrong and is misleading, you can make a video to correct it.

But if it's just because I blocked your path to wealth that you did such a despicable act, that is truly insulting the name of a martial artist.

If there is a next time, I will definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes and then visit them personally!"

Below the text, she also put a photo, which was her national-level martial artist certificate.

This was to show her strength, and also to warn them that she had a backer, and an extremely hard one at that.

After the status was posted, it immediately hit the trending list.

No one expected that Miss Luo Quan would become the first celebrity to suffer after martial artists became popular.

Netizens commented like this:

"Actually, Miss Luo Quan is suffering from an unprovoked disaster. Those who really want to learn martial arts definitely won't just watch videos; in the end, they still have to find professional martial arts halls.

If they don't want to learn martial arts, even if they watch these videos, they probably won't be able to practice them."

"Cutting off someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents; these people just don't want most people to have a free martial arts tutorial."

"Really disgusting, now Miss Luo Quan is the only one on the whole internet teaching real kung fu, and yet they still report it; don't let me know who it is."

"Everyone, hurry up and cache the video; who knows if it will be banned later."

"Not necessarily, Luo Bao still has a lot of face on Bilibili; not to mention the video has no violations, even if she really drove an edge-ball, the reviewers would probably watch it with relish."

"Is it that real?"

"If you ban her, who will give us benefits in the future? Do you want to do it yourself!"

"Correct, direct, pertinent, elegant, objective."

………………

Under the banter of netizens, what was originally a quite serious matter became very funny.

And after Miss Luo Quan posted this status online, the reports on her videos stopped!

It is estimated that these people also knew her personality and were afraid of really being challenged.

Then it wouldn't be as simple as losing a few students; it was feared that the entire martial arts hall wouldn't be able to continue.

After domestic matters were resolved, Miss Luo Quan turned her attention back to the Europa Warrior Tournament.

The preliminary rounds lasted for three days, and finally sixty-one contestants successfully advanced and would fight in pairs in the upcoming matches.

And the extra one would adopt the method of a bye.

Miss Luo Quan drew lots, but unfortunately, her luck wasn't very good, and she didn't draw the bye.

And her match was still the first match of the second round, and her opponent was the Vatican's Monk Lu Ente.

This opponent had not been well-known before, and information was pitifully scarce; currently, Miss Luo Quan only knew his appearance and that his identity was a bitter monk.

The so-called bitter monk is a term for some religious figures.

These people believe that the torture of the body will make their faith more pious and closer to the truth.

Most religions have such practitioners, but the ways of tempering the will and body are different.

In China, bitter monks, or ascetics, have a way of tempering like walking pilgrimages, moving forward along the road in one direction, or bowing every seven steps, or bowing every five steps.

Previously, there was a report in the news about an ascetic who spent ten years walking across the length and breadth of China, bowing every three steps, and the kind of bowing where one prostrates completely.

When interviewed, his forehead had a large lump due to frequent kowtowing, but his eyes were as bright as a flashlight!

This is the harvest of asceticism.

And in neighboring India, there is also a well-known ascetic whose way of asceticism is to hold his right arm high for decades.

By now, his arm has withered to just a layer of skin and bone, and his nails have grown out and curled around in circles.

But he still insists on holding his arm up, and from his expression, one cannot feel any pain or fatigue at all, only tranquility and peace.

For these ascetics, physical pain is short-lived, and if it can be exchanged for spiritual satisfaction, pain is absolutely bearable.

To others, it might be hard to understand, but the value in it is something only these persistent ascetics can know.

And the one Miss Luo Quan had to face this time was such a firm believer, a bitter monk.

Although she didn't know how he practiced asceticism, both his will and body must be very strong, and he was likely to be a very strong opponent.

So Miss Luo Quan went to bed early the day before the match, wanting to conserve energy for the next day's duel.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the domestic Spring Festival film season was in full swing, but unfortunately, the films released were more than a grade worse than last year.

I don't know if "Farewell My Concubine" gave domestic directors the confidence to remake art films, but since the second half of last year, many tragic art films had appeared in China.

But most of these were tragic for the sake of tragedy, and the plot was too far behind "Farewell My Concubine," being evaluated by netizens as "Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi" (a clumsy imitation).

And those art films released during the Spring Festival season were scolded even more severely by netizens:

"Who wants to watch your tragedy during the New Year? Is it that hard for me to watch a movie happily? Do you think you are Miss Luo Quan, who can make the eldest sister willingly cry in the cinema during the New Year?"

I don't know what mood those directors were in, but Miss Luo Quan was a bit overwhelmed.

People in China were watching movies, while people abroad were watching matches.

Today was the first match of the second round of the Europa Warrior Tournament, a focus battle, Miss Luo Quan versus Monk Lu Ente.

The two appeared almost at the same time; this time Miss Luo Quan didn't wear a bulletproof vest, but put on the Fleur-de-lis Armor she had gotten for free from Adrien earlier.

Miss Luo Quan, wearing silver armor and holding a long sword, looked full of heroic spirit, and her appearance caused the audience to shout.

And Monk Lu Ente only had a white linen robe on his body.

Actually, it couldn't be called white, because most parts of the robe were covered in dust and stains, as if he had crawled out of a coal mine.

And Monk Lu Ente himself was also bearded, his face so dirty that three pounds of mud could be rubbed off.

"Praise the Lord, you are truly the most beautiful girl I have ever seen; in a trance, I feel as if I have seen a saint."

Lu Ente nodded to Miss Luo Quan and gave a compliment.

"Thank you, I wonder how you practiced asceticism, Master?" Miss Luo Quan asked after responding politely.

"Living together with all things in the world." Lu Ente spread his hands and said something quite abstract.

Miss Luo Quan guessed, was it like Bear Grylls's wilderness survival?

It was probably like that; I don't know what kind of skills such asceticism can train.

"The duel begins!"

The referee didn't give the two much chance to chat, directly ringing the bell.

Lu Ente's weapon was a stick as thick as an arm, pitch black and impossible to tell what material it was, but the whistling wind when he swung it showed it was quite heavy.

As before, Miss Luo Quan took the initiative to attack him.

The long sword in her hand flashed a silver trail in the air and slashed toward Lu Ente.

However, this sword was dodged by him leaning to the side, and then he raised his hand and knocked a stick on Miss Luo Quan's waist.

But Miss Luo Quan, whose attack was dodged, didn't panic; her body spun in the air diagonally like a spinning top several times, dodging Lu Ente's heavy stick.

"Damn, that waist strength is amazing!"

"Actually relying on waist and abdominal strength to spin in the air, simply outrageous."

"What a crocodile roll."

"Luo Bao is still fierce."

………………

The fans watching the live broadcast were all cheering for Miss Luo Quan's beautiful dodging move, but they didn't realize that Lu Ente had dodged Miss Luo Quan's attack.

Before this, almost every one of her attacks had not been dodged; the enemies had all taken them head-on.

Were these people trying to look cool and deliberately not dodging?

Obviously not; it was because Miss Luo Quan's speed was too fast to dodge.

But this time, Lu Ente actually dodged it, and with ease.

Miss Luo Quan felt this was not a coincidence; he must be extremely good at movement techniques, just like Daoist Cheng.

If that was the case, she had to stick close and deal with him with short, frequent, and fast attacks, never giving him a chance to catch his breath.

Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan stuck her long sword into the ground, then flashed and pounced again, her fists hitting Lu Ente like raindrops.

Wing Chun's fast punches, even at a normal speed, looked like they had special effects to outsiders, not to mention the fast punches performed by Miss Luo Quan, which looked like a Gatling gun.

However, what was jaw-dropping was that Lu Ente seemed to have maxed out his dodging skills, his body dodging between the punches Miss Luo Quan threw, and not a single one could touch him.

Just like that black boxer facing an opponent, no matter how the opponent threw punches, he could make dodging moves in advance as if he had foreknowledge.

Miss Luo Quan threw nearly a hundred punches in a short time, but all of them were in vain.

Sensing something was wrong, she immediately jumped back a few steps, reaching a safe distance.

"Your movement technique is quite good." Miss Luo Quan took a breath and praised.

"This is the result of asceticism."

Lu Ente replied softly: "I spent ten years merging with nature, and I can perceive every change around me with extreme sensitivity, so it is impossible for your attacks to hit me."

"That may not be so; it's just that my speed is not fast enough. After all, no matter how fast a person's nerve response is, you cannot make moves in an instant."

Miss Luo Quan smiled slightly and opened the second gate, the Gate of Rest.

Lu Ente's pupils shrank, sensing an extremely dangerous aura.

This was a feeling he only had when encountering natural disasters during his ascetic practice in the wild. ===== CHAPTER 805 =====
