Chapter 1
Only Lin Yi felt the world go black before his eyes.
Damn it! He hadn't read much Wuxia!
2 The Era of Great Wuxia! Begins!
"What do I do, what do I do? What do I do?"
Cold sweat was already beading on Lin Yi's forehead!
As a two-dimensional fan in his past life, his exposure to this genre was truly minimal!
"I've read a bit of Jin Yong! But I've forgotten almost all of it!"
"Aside from Little Dragon Maiden and Yang Guo or whatever, I can barely recall any other plots!"
Lin Yi’s face darkened; if it were just a few fragments, he might have been able to write them down!
But the competition required a long-form story, and he was truly...
No one noticed his distress; everyone seemed quite satisfied with the theme.
At this moment, an old man sitting in the center of the judges' panel saw the topic and immediately revealed a knowing smile.
"It seems Qin Lao is very satisfied!"
A judge beside him flattered.
Although everyone present was a master of creation, this old man was no ordinary person.
The old man was named Qin Yong, and it was he who had single-handedly pioneered the peak era of Dragon Kingdom Wuxia.
Although Wuxia had declined somewhat in recent years, this old man's status in the circle was unquestionable!
"Good! I didn't expect these young people to finally remember Wuxia again!"
Qin Lao looked very gratified; after all, Wuxia had indeed been in decline for years.
"Qin Lao is joking! Look at how happy the audience and the contestants are! This shows that Wuxia has never declined!!"
The judge beside him, Wang Feng, spoke softly to comfort him, while also gesturing toward the big screen.
Sure enough, whether it was the audience's anticipation or the confident smiles on the contestants' faces, it all undoubtedly showed that everyone was very satisfied with the topic.
"Exactly, exactly! Old man, this topic is just!"
Another judge nearby also wanted to offer a few words of flattery, but the next moment, the words on his lips stalled!
Because just then, as the big screen in the square rotated, he saw an extremely miserable face!
[Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! How is it that it hasn't even started yet, and someone is already wearing a mask of pain?]
[No way! Buddy! It's Wuxia! Is it that painful? Are you even from the Dragon Kingdom!]
[Exactly! How could a Dragon Kingdom citizen be stumped by Wuxia?]
[Who is this guy!]
[Seems his name is Lin Yi, a fresh college graduate!]
[What? How did someone like this get into the top 128?]
[It seems he specializes in sci-fi!]
[That still doesn't make sense! Suggest a strict investigation of his ancestors for three generations!]
The barrage expressed dissatisfaction one after another; as a Dragon Kingdom citizen, how could one be stuck on Wuxia?
But the facts proved that Lin Yi was indeed stuck!
The other contestants had already started writing their outlines, while Lin Yi had no intention of picking up his pen at all!
"Sigh! This batch of contestants is really something!"
"Each generation is worse than the last!"
The judge who had been interrupted earlier was named Sun Tao; he glanced at Lin Yi with apparent dissatisfaction.
After all, it was a slap in his face, indirectly!
"Sigh~ young people each have different strengths! It's normal!"
"We shouldn't be too harsh!"
Qin Lao was very understanding of the contestants; this was an inevitable result of the times!
Lin Yi's distress was like an interlude, and the audience turned their attention to the other seeded contestants.
Each contestant's interface had a small screen, and at this moment, images were already appearing on many of them!
That's right! This was a product of the AI development in this world.
It automatically generated images based on the contestant's plot, and although it was much simpler than adapted anime.
Being able to achieve this level of live production was already a very advanced existence.
Contestants could even sculpt the faces of the characters they wrote; of course, they only needed to use the device to scan their own brains.
In other words, the plot in the contestant's mind could truly be seen by the audience!
This was also one of the most attractive parts of the competition!
But right now, the contestants were all in the process of writing their outlines, though some with solid basic skills had already started sculpting their protagonists' faces.
Flashing blades and shadows were already leaping onto the screens, dazzling the audience!
And at this moment, Lin Yi still hadn't moved his pen!
At this time, his livestream had about a thousand viewers.
That someone who hadn't moved a pen could have a thousand viewers showed just how popular this program was.
"Wuxia! I haven't read it!"
"Damn it! Why didn't they test for two-dimensional!"
Lin Yi frowned, thinking maybe he should just forfeit!
But the next moment, a flash of inspiration struck, and he had a bold idea!
He suddenly realized that one of the audience's comments was very right!
How could a Dragon Kingdom citizen not know how to write Wuxia!
"It seems... this is everyone's talent!"
Lin Yi finally smiled and picked up his pen.
He began to write:
In the late Tianlong Dynasty, treacherous officials held power, and the martial arts world was in turmoil!
And just during this turmoil, the former Martial Arts Alliance Leader Wang Roger went to the imperial court to surrender.
And just as the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Wang Roger was about to be beheaded at the execution ground.
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted:
"Martial Arts Alliance Leader!! Does your secret manual for dominating the martial arts world, the 'One Piece Divine Art', really exist?"
The Martial Arts Alliance Leader laughed three times toward the sky, roaring wildly:
"Want my secret divine art manual?"
"Go find it! I've put all of the 'One Piece Divine Art' there!"
Once this news broke, the martial arts world was shaken!
From then on, the Era of Great Wuxia began!
3 The Four Absolutes of the Jianghu! Niu Niu Gaite! (New book seeking flowers!)
[Damn! This kid started writing!]
[No way! Is there actually someone watching?]
[Don't misunderstand, I'm just here to watch the fun!]
[Me too! But this kid actually started writing?]
[What kind of trash is he writing? Martial Arts Alliance Leader Wang Roger? What a strange name!]
[It's hilarious! He's the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and he's going to surrender?]
[Maybe it's some kind of foreshadowing?]
[Just playing tricks! Let's keep watching!]
Seeing that Lin Yi had finally moved! The viewers in the livestream also began to discuss.
However, the audience didn't seem to think much of Lin Yi's plot!
Facts proved that Lin Yi was also very nervous at this moment, or rather, apprehensive.
After all, this kind of innovation was just too...
