Chapter 160: Heroine

"So... all of this was an accident?"

Wu Wu Pifu said solemnly, "Yes, exactly! As a martial artist, a fighter, I pursue the end of power and sublimation, while also appreciating those who pursue the martial path their whole lives. They are strong in their own right. That's right, I'm talking about my idol, Binoski! Fighting repeatedly despite defeats, the goal is actually to overcome oneself!"

The beautiful host in front of him showed a standard professional smile and said, "But you even got his name wrong at the time. His name is Binoski, not 'Driver', it has nothing to do with vehicles."

Wu Wu Pifu shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, as a Chinese person, I can't distinguish the pronunciation of Binoski's 'ski' and 'driver'. You can't blame me for that."

The beautiful host smiled and asked, "Then, that brawl in Chinatown the night before last was also..."

Wu Wu Pifu immediately said, "I must correct you. That wasn't a brawl. In our Chinese tradition, that's called 'making friends through martial arts'. It's the etiquette of martial artists toward martial artists. If this caused trouble for non-Chinese people, I would like to apologize to everyone here."

The beautiful host used an exaggerated expression and said, "Trouble? No, no, no, this is simply too curious. Mr. Wu, you don't know, regarding the videos of you rushing onto the stage or fighting in Chinatown, I've watched them dozens of times. Every second, every frame, I've watched them back and forth. Really... it's too fascinating, too astonishing. Is this Kung Fu? Jumping ten-plus meters, one collision and even vehicles are shattered. This, this..."

The beautiful host actually had the look of a fan girl.

Wu Wu Pifu immediately said seriously, "How is that possible? There were wires hanging on the scene, otherwise why would we 'make friends through martial arts' at night? And that smashed car was actually modified; it would fall apart as soon as it was driven. So everyone, don't learn from this. These were all prepared for the movie in advance. Really, don't even talk about driving that car; you could push it over with one finger."

At this moment, someone in front of the TV froze, took out the insurance policy they had just received, and was stunned, unable to say a word.

The beautiful host smiled again and asked tentatively, "Mr. Wu is truly humorous."

Wu Wu Pifu shook his head seriously and said, "No, this isn't humor. A fighter is a fighter, but science is science. We must talk about science, right? How could it be possible for someone to smash a car with one collision? How could it be possible for someone to walk on walls? It doesn't exist."

At the same time, in the most luxurious seven-star hotel in the capital of the Human Freedom Federation, in a deluxe presidential suite, Zhou Zhou Qingqing sat cross-legged, watching the live interview of Wu Wu Pifu on the giant wall projection with bright, spirited eyes. When she heard the "talk about science" part, even with her cultivation, she couldn't help but have her eyebrows and mouth corners twitch.

Everyone present, a Daoist priest sitting in the lower seat, and further down, Xing Daoren kneeling with a straight body, and on the other end, seven or eight other people, men or women, old or young, were also watching the TV. After hearing Wu Wu Pifu's rhetoric, these people's expressions couldn't be held back at all. One handsome youth even cursed loudly, "What nonsense! Let alone a god-like figure like him who has reached the Bao Dan Zuo Kua realm, is it difficult for a martial artist like me who has just entered An Jin to smash a car? What's there to talk about for a dead object parked on the spot?"

Sitting in the upper seat was a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man's expression turned stern, and he snorted. Although the handsome youth was full of dissatisfaction, he still lowered his head respectfully.

However, his words had expressed the inner thoughts of everyone present.

They were martial artists, genuine fighters, not those performance-type athletes.

The saying 'the poor study, the rich practice martial arts' is on one hand because one needs money to practice martial arts, and on the other hand, because once one has this martial art, one will have money. Even a Ming Jin martial artist who has just entered this path will have considerable capital after fighting a few underground matches. At the same time, after entering An Jin, one can become a guest of honor for the powerful. Even if one manages their own sphere of influence, there will be quite a bit of help. Naturally, it's impossible to go on stage to perform anything.

That was that. As for those dead objects, like bricks or tiles, if one really smashed them on the spot, was that street performing?

This was actually a chain of contempt.

If it were in the past, it would naturally be left to the juniors to curse loudly. But what kind of place was this?

An immortal was present, and even the immortal had nothing to say, so how dare they talk nonsense.

And on TV, it continued, talking about how Wu Wu Pifu would next star in a super-large investment movie, which would fully display genuine Kung Fu, let the world know the true meaning of Kung Fu, etc. The expressions of everyone present finally couldn't be managed.

Only Zhou Zhou Qingqing was still in a daze. When this interview ended and everyone present was full of strange words, Zhou Zhou Qingqing said softly, "I only saw my grandmaster twice when I was very young. At that time, my grandmaster already didn't like to move. Although he had the appearance of a young man, his aura was as deep as twilight. But when I was young, I still heard my grandmaster talk about his various heroic deeds when he was young."

Everyone present immediately cleared away all distracting thoughts and listened to this secret talk with full concentration.

To this day, they only knew that Zhou Zhou Qingqing's grandmaster was actually that Earth Immortal from two hundred years ago.

However, this was a matter of course. The saying 'a famous teacher produces a great disciple'—Zhou Zhou Qingqing didn't pop out of a rock either. As early as when she swept through Linjing, many martial arts masters had guessed her lineage.

At that time, Zhou Zhou Qingqing was actually only at the peak of Hua Jin and was far from reaching Bao Dan Zuo Kua. It was only until she swept through Linjing and established an invincible martial arts momentum that she broke through the shackles in the final battle, fighting five people alone, and reached Dan Jin directly. This matter was quite legendary and is still praised by people today.

But if there wasn't an incomparably deep background, how could there be no strong people in such a large country? Not to mention anything else, sneak attacks, poisoning, assassination, and even sniper rifles—if they really wanted to kill Zhou Zhou Qingqing, she wouldn't be able to avoid it.

But just because the high-level officials guessed the origin of her sect, many things weren't done to the extreme. This point is actually the same reason why Xing Daoren is still alive—it's nothing more than a deep sect background. The martial arts world isn't just about killing; there are also human relationships.

And the Zhou Zhou Qingqing of the past, and the Xing Daoren of later, were both fighting head-on. Although the latter's methods were ruthless and violated the legal trends of the current era, in terms of martial arts, it was truly something that others couldn't find fault with.

In the field of combat, being weak is the original sin. It's that simple.

Zhou Zhou Qingqing continued, "My grandmaster was a heavenly man who emerged into the world, sweeping away all opposition. According to what he said, he entered Dan Jin at eighteen, Gang Jin at twenty-two, and when he was invincible under heaven, he was only twenty-six. Afterward, he traveled across the country, went to the South Pole, went to the North Pole, and even crossed the waves to reach the other two continents. By the time he returned to his hometown, he was fifty years old. At that time, he had already entered 'Seeing the Divine Indestructible' for a full ten years. Then he sat on the peak of the highest mountain for three days, realized the 'Divine Monkey Awakening', reached the state where the cicada knows of the autumn wind before it moves, and pushed both his body and spirit to the limit of life."

"'But... difficult, difficult, difficult. The Dao is the most mysterious; do not treat the Jin Dan as something ordinary. Without meeting a supreme person to pass on the secret formula, the mouth is exhausted and the tongue is dry...' My grandmaster reached the limit of life at fifty. In the following one hundred and twenty or thirty years, he made no progress at all. Even if he created more mysterious and invincible divine arts, what was the use... The path is at an end." Speaking of this, Zhou Zhou Qingqing's voice turned desolate. It was truly enough to make listeners shed tears, and everyone present felt dejected. Even Xing Daoren, whose martial arts heart was the most fervent, had red eyes and clenched his hands tightly.

"But!"

Zhou Zhou Qingqing's voice changed suddenly, her expression spirited. Her eyes seemed to be shining. Her appearance was already extremely beautiful, and at this moment, it attracted everyone present to stare in a daze, each shifting their gaze, their heartbeats accelerating.

Zhou Zhou Qingqing didn't know, just spiritedly said, "But, in the battle with this Wu Wu Pifu, I saw the path ahead. On him, there is the path ahead for us martial artists!"

Many martial artists were blank. Zhou Zhou Qingqing clapped her hands, and an old butler walked in from outside. His movements had a rhythm, which made many martial artists feel awe in their hearts. This butler was actually also an expert.

"Uncle Yang, have you found it?" Zhou Zhou Qingqing asked.

The old man lowered his head respectfully and handed over a stack of documents, saying, "Eldest Miss, it's all here."

Zhou Zhou Qingqing hurriedly took it, opened the document, and looked at it. After a long while, she said, "Just this?"

The old man nodded. Zhou Zhou Qingqing looked at it carefully many times, then handed the document to the person in the lower seat.

While the others were looking at the document, Zhou Zhou Qingqing asked again, "Uncle Yang, have you told Master about my encounter?"

!

The old man nodded again and said, "I have followed Eldest Miss's instructions and contacted the Old Master. The Old Master should already be on the plane by now."

Zhou Zhou Qingqing asked again, "What did Master say on that side?"

The old man replied, "The Old Master inquired about one hundred and sixty-eight sects, martial arts schools, forces, and wandering individuals across the country. Everyone denied it flatly. Afterward, he contacted various martial arts circles abroad, and none of them admitted it either."

"That's right."

Zhou Zhou Qingqing revealed a smile and said, "Such a heaven-sent genius, how could an ordinary person teach him? If there really were such a junior, they would have beaten drums and gongs to let the whole world know long ago."

Seeing everyone reveal strange expressions, Zhou Zhou Qingqing smiled and said, "I won't hide it from everyone, my grandmaster also searched for a remnant of the martial arts path from somewhere, then practiced it for fun. His family was rich, a large landlord. His elders saw he liked martial arts, so they hired a martial arts master to teach him. As a result, in just a few months, he surpassed the master. Rather than saying the master taught him, it's better to say that after he knew how to enter the path, he realized these martial arts routines himself."

Everyone's face was shocked.

They were all big shots in the martial arts world, genuine fighters, so they knew that having a master and not having a master were simply two different things.

Was there really someone in this world who practiced blindly, didn't practice themselves to death, but instead achieved divine success?

Zhou Zhou Qingqing said, "Looking at his resume, his parents died early, and he is an overseas Chinese who has immigrated for many generations. I guess, like my grandmaster, he learned martial arts from somewhere by himself. As a result, he was a heaven-sent genius, but he didn't know it himself, so he had always been unknown until the martial artist he liked was humiliated on stage. In a fit of anger, he went onto the stage, and as a result, he beat people like cutting grass. Only then did he know that he was actually a heavenly man descending into the world."

"That's right, that's right. This can also explain why his Dan Jin is not pure. It turns out that's the reason. Without a master to guide him to enter the path, he could reach Dan Jin. It's only natural that it's not pure... But he is not just Dan Jin, he actually has another path. This is the greatest heaven-sent talent. Maybe even better than my grandmaster..."

Everyone looked at the resume and nodded in agreement. A martial artist hesitated and said, "But he actually wants to use this divine art to perform. This, this is really disgraceful..."

"Disgraceful to what!?"

Zhou Zhou Qingqing's reaction was intense. She whispered, and seeing the martial artist's face turn pale immediately, she slowed her tone and said, "My grandmaster swept away all opposition in the world and crossed the ocean, also having the ambition to spread martial arts to the world, all to find an equal opponent, to open the path ahead in the most intense life-and-death battle!"

"Wu Wu Pifu is paving the way for the people of the world!"

Zhou Zhou Qingqing looked at the old man and said, "How much are my assets now?"

The old man replied, "A total of six conglomerate shares, three chain supermarket shares, and three... about one hundred and twenty billion or so."

Zhou Zhou Qingqing immediately said, "Cash it out as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if there's a loss. Then take nine-tenths of it, find Mr. Wu Wu Pifu's agent. I want to invest in this movie, with only one requirement!"

"I want to be his opponent, I want to be the heroine!"
