Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 136 I offer my life as a token of my respect, welcoming the young master into the martial world. (Please subscribe)
Wang Lin.

This is the protagonist of "Xian Ni".

Many people said in the past that the novel "Xian Ni" was inspired by mortals.

In a sense, the early versions of "Xian Ni" did indeed have some references.

However, later on, Xian Ni developed its own style and became a classic.

It is different from ordinary people.

The protagonist in "Xian Ni" is not as low-key or reserved as Han Li.

He is one who repays both hatred and kindness.

Some grudges are even settling on the spot.

Just like his name suggests.

Wang Lin's nickname was Wang Mazi, not because he had pockmarks on his face.

It was because he killed countless people that he was called Wang Mazi (King Mazi).

Chen Yang's Three Thousand Provinces Genius Battle brings together geniuses from various worlds.

Ye Chen is.

Han Li is.

Wang Lin was the same.

Each of these geniuses would be a protagonist in their respective world.

Therefore, Chen Yang wrote with ease, and the character design was very well done.

While many readers were still marveling at the classic character of Han Li.

Another classic genius makes his official debut.

……

The debate competition hosted by Shanghai TV had been warming up for several days.

Because of Chen Yang's involvement.

Although this debate may seem like a niche event, it has attracted the attention of many people.

"Wow, Shanghai TV is pretty good, they've come up with such an interesting program."

"The key point is that we brought in a genius writer."

"The combination of writing and debating is a perfect match, but I wonder if he will be a match for some of the other big names in debating."

"expect."

Chen Yang, on the other hand, went to Shanghai TV station to record a program.

"Chen Yang, classmate."

"Senior Xu Wan, please take good care of me later."

Chen Yang had obtained some information before he came.

The materials contain information on each debater.

Chen Yang's groupmate was Xu Wan, a senior from Aurora University.

There are also two senior students, namely "Sun Yi" and "Zhao Fei".

Li Hanxiao and class monitor Luo Lu.

Several students from the dormitory, including Wang Mingming, Li Xue, and Liu Hongsheng, all became Chen Yang's cheerleaders.

Xu Wan said with a smile, "You have so many cheerleaders!"

Chen Yang said, "They were worried I'd be nervous since it was my first time on stage."

"that's humble."

Xu Wan said, "I wonder how many people are looking forward to seeing your performance in this debate competition."

"Senior, I've only participated in a few debate competitions. Please don't blame me if I don't do well."

As he spoke, Chen Yang exchanged a few words with the two people in his group.

The topic of this debate is: Is Wuxia (martial arts chivalry) just a dream?

Chen Yang's group was on the affirmative side, which meant they believed that martial arts was just a dream, an illusion.

The opposing side argues that martial arts is not a dream, but a reality.

Whether it's the affirmative or the negative side.

Both are excellent topics for debate.

What's even more interesting is...

This topic is about martial arts, which is a topic that everyone is very interested in.

So today's recording.

Whether it was the debaters, the guests in the audience, or the other cheerleaders, they were all chatting from time to time.

Obviously.

They also have their own insights on this debate topic.

Actually, Xu Wan had previously added Chen Yang to a four-person group chat.

The discussion mainly revolves around our own perspective, as well as the arguments and challenges our opponents will present.

of course.

The opposing side will also consider their own situation.

After all, the topic of the debate has already been presented.

Both sides can figure out how to debate.

It all depends on whether your speech can move the judges and the audience.

……

Half an hour later.

The debate on "Is Wuxia Just a Dream?" has officially begun.

The host introduced the two teams.

Chen Yang wasn't particularly clear about the other team.

Chen Yang listened for a moment and realized that it must be a strong team that frequently participates in debate competitions.

The first speaker from the affirmative side will speak first.

The first speaker for the affirmative side is Sun Yi.

The second speaker was Chen Yang.

The third speaker was Xu Wan.

The fourth speaker was Zhao Fei.

The first speaker is usually responsible for expressing their own argument.

What does it mean to establish an argument?
It means expressing your own opinion and explaining your reasons.

Chen Yang's side is the affirmative side.

The affirmative side argues that martial arts is a dream.

The viewpoint is that martial arts is a dream.

The reason is also very simple.

The reason why martial arts novels are novels is that they are not based on reality; they are fictional, and they are a dream in everyone's mind.

Once the dream ends, one must accept reality. Next came the second speaker from the opposing side's rebuttal to the first speaker from the affirmative side.

This rule is slightly different from the one Chen Yang used at Aurora University.

However, this makes it even more interesting.

Because after each person speaks, there will be a debater from the opposing side to refute your statement.

The second speaker for the opposing side argued that...

Wuxia is not just a dream.

Even though martial arts fiction is fictional, the most important core element within that fiction is still reality, still concrete.

Because only these things can truly touch people's hearts.

Next came the opening statement from the first speaker for the opposing side.

He made two points.

First, the spirit of chivalry is not a dream.

Secondly, the world of martial arts is not just a dream.

have to say.

The first speaker for the opposing side was very emotional.

He is also a very experienced martial arts enthusiast.

When he said that martial arts is not a dream, he cited Guo Jing, Jin Yong, Gu Long and a series of other examples.

These examples were unanimously recognized by the judges and other guests present.

Applause also broke out from time to time.

for this.

Chen Yang also knew this.

This is disadvantageous to the affirmative side.

Because of innate factors.

People just love martial arts.

By nature, no one would think that martial arts is just a dream.

Even if it's just a dream, no one wants it to be just a dream.

However, those on the affirmative side are not without a chance to fight back.

Chen Yang, the second debater, stood up at this moment.

As the second speaker, he must now begin to refute the arguments presented by the first speaker of the opposing side.

"Excuse me, if you say martial arts isn't a dream, then what is a dream?"

Chen Yang asked directly.

The opposing team's first speaker said, "Meaningless fabrication is just a dream; valuable literary works are all based on reality."

Chen Yang asked again, "But how do you distinguish what is real? You think it's real, but others think it's not. Others think it's not real, but you think it's real."

The opposing team's first speaker retorted, "Therefore, this requires writers."

Chen Yang laughed: "Does what writers say always mean? OK, you don't need to answer."

at this time.

Chen Yang continued, "Have you all noticed? Actually, the other person doesn't have a precise definition of whether martial arts is a dream. He just thinks it's not a dream, and then he wants everyone to accept his point of view. Of course, I can understand his feelings. Just like I like reading martial arts novels, I don't want everyone to think that martial arts is a dream. Even if it really is a dream, I will say that it isn't."

"Let me give you another example. Where does our martial arts come from? It basically comes from martial arts novels. When we discuss whether martial arts is a dream, have we ever asked the authors who created martial arts novels? Do you think martial arts is not a dream? Do the authors think so? A few years ago, an author wrote an article, and then this article was put as an exam question. As a result, a group of people who set the questions kept studying one sentence he wrote. In the end, embarrassingly, when the original author was interviewed, he said, 'I didn't mean anything else by writing this sentence. I just wrote a sentence.'"

There was applause.

have to say.

Chen Yang's rebuttal was very powerful.

You think it's not a dream, but that's just your opinion.

Even the original creator didn't say that, yet you insist on adding so much of your subjective imagination to it.

……

However, the debate did not end so quickly.

Even when Chen Yang was the second speaker, he seized on a loophole in the opponent's argument and delivered a powerful rebuttal.

However, the opposing debaters later adjusted their tactics.

They focused their main argument on the spirit of chivalry.

Even if all the stories and plots in martial arts novels are fake, their spirit is real.

Not only is it true, but it has also influenced many people.

As it is now.

Even if there is no longer a martial arts world, people will still shout out when they see injustice.

Even though there are no martial arts skills now, people still talk about the Mount Hua Sword Tournament from time to time.

This emotionally charged debate once again brought back a flood of memories for all the guests.

My mind is filled with images of characters and stories from the martial arts world.

Chen Yang knew.

They have found the right way to play.

They empathized with the guests.

but.

Just then, Chen Yang stood up and said, "Everyone, I want to tell you a story. The protagonist of this story is Huang Zhentu. I will tell you his story from Huang Zhentu's perspective."

Clearing his throat, Chen Yang said, "My name is Huang Zhentu. I am a blacksmith from Western Shu. I have been forging swords for thirty years. I comprehended the way of the sword when the hammer sparked. My master said I was crazy. People in the martial arts world call me Sword Nine Huang. My master loves swords, so I traveled the world to collect six famous swords, hoping that he would say a good word about me when he drinks."

"When I was young, I went to Wudi City with my sword, hoping to make a name for my master. That old scoundrel Wang Xianzhi of Wudi City caught eight of my swords with one hand. One of them, the Yellow Lu Sword, was stuck in the city wall and remained there ever since. I was no match for him and had to flee. I felt ashamed, so I hid in the Northern Liang King's Palace and became a groom, talking to the horses and keeping company with wine. Everyone laughed at me for my Nine Yellow Swords, saying that I would run away as soon as I drew my sword. But who knew that what I feared was not death, but a humiliating defeat?"

"Later, I became the bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Beiliang. The Crown Prince never learned martial arts, and I never showed off my skills in front of him. But I really liked this seemingly spoiled but kind-hearted boy. I always wanted to persuade the young master to learn martial arts, but the young master always thought he was a good-for-nothing and didn't want to learn martial arts. So, I accompanied the young master for three years and traveled six thousand miles outside."

That's right.

Chen Yang was talking about Jian Jiu Huang, a character from the novel "The Sword and the Snow".

Although Jian Jiuhuang is not the main character in it.

Although Chen Yang only gave a general overview of Jian Jiuhuang's life.

But it was only the beginning, and everyone was already immersed in Jian Jiuhuang's world.

Chen Yang continued, "I want to stay with you, young master, but I know that if you don't practice martial arts, you will never be able to survive in this chaotic world. I want to do something for you. I thought of Wudi City and decided to go and retrieve the Yellow Robe Sword that I left there."

"That day, the young master saw me off from Beiliang. I came to Wudi City again. I used eight sword moves in total, but none of them could defeat Wang Xianzhi. Finally, I used the ninth move, which was called Six Thousand Miles. This was the name given by the young master, saying that we had traveled six thousand miles in three years. Wang Xianzhi, who had been blocking my sword moves with one hand, finally used both hands. In the end, I lost the duel, but I also won."

“I know that I am exhausted and will soon lose my life. But I look towards Beiliang and I know that the young master is watching me. But I am sad that I can no longer accompany the young master. However, I am also gratified. I can imagine that soon the young master will reign supreme in Wudi City as the number one in the world.”

"I offer my life as a token of my respect to welcome the young master into the world of martial arts."

"My name is Jian Jiuhuang. I am waiting for you to come, young master, so I can serve you wine."

The story is over.

A burst of applause erupted.

Many guests rubbed their eyes.

Chen Yang then asked, "My fellow debaters, is Jian Jiuhuang's story a dream, or... not a dream?"
