Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"That's because you can tell at a glance if an apple is rotten!" Yun Li argued logically.

"Why would you eat a bad apple when you can already tell it's rotten?"

"But how can you prove it's a bad apple if you don't eat it?" The old man spread his hands.

"If you can't prove it's a bad apple, what right do you have to come and complain that my apple is bad?"

"It's like I made a plate of braised pork intestines, and you didn't even eat it, but you said it didn't taste good and that I should be eliminated."

Do you think this is reasonable?

March 7th looked at Yun Li and hesitated before saying:

"It does seem a bit unreasonable... We have no evidence to prove that weapons forged from this stone are unusable."

"..."

For a moment, the group fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Li narrowed her eyes.

"Fine, you're going to try and deny it, huh? Then we'll use these stones to make weapons, and we'll come back to you with the evidence!"

"Okay."

Having made up their minds, Yun Li and San Yueqi picked up the stone and rushed to the Bureau of Works with Yan Huan and Dan Heng.

……

Engineering Division.

Flames rose, and everyone stared intently at the raging fire in the furnace, filled with anticipation.

Master Shu, the owner of the stove, laughed:

"Don't worry, my stove works really well, there won't be any problems."

"Hey Yan Huan, can't you sit still? What are you thinking about getting into that big furnace for?"

Besides the medium-sized furnace that Gongshuliang is operating, there is also a large furnace the size of a truck at the very top of this workshop.

At this moment, the furnace was blazing hot, and the heat inside the workshop was so intense that everyone was drenched in sweat.

"I want to develop piercing eyes," Yan Huan thought to herself, sitting atop the large furnace.

"What do you use this big furnace for?"

"Sigh, that's used to melt down large materials," Gongshu Liang said helplessly.

"When the Cloud Cavalry is on official business, it cannot do without the assistance of our Jin people's ingenious mechanisms."

"But every machine, no matter how ingenious, will eventually break down."

“It’s a shame to just throw away those scrapped parts, so we collect them and remelt them in the furnace, which saves us a lot of money.”

Gongshu Liang chatted while glancing at the two girls beside him.

"Both of you little girls are going to participate in the martial arts ceremony?"

"Young people are really energetic. I heard that this event is very big, and all the travelers from Galaxy World will come here after hearing about it."

Gongshu Liang smiled smugly.

"If I were still young, I would definitely bring our best sword and go to the arena to have a good fight."

"It's a pity things aren't like they used to be."

"What's wrong with age?" Yun Li said seriously.

"If you want to participate, then participate. I even saw an elderly lady with gray hair sign up."

"Huh?" Master Gongshu found it incredible.

"Gray hair? If you're from the Immortal Ship, you're already halfway into the Demonic Yin realm, aren't you?"

"With this kind of physical condition, how can someone register? Aren't there any requirements for the participants?"

"It seems there really isn't an age requirement." March 7th thought back carefully.

"As long as someone is willing to fight, even a Di Ting can sign up."

"Master Gongshu, are you aware that several Di Ting and Ji Qiao birds have signed up?"

"???" Gongshu Liang's eyes widened:

"You can even register for this?"

"Can the star rafts anchored at sea also register?!"

"I guess I'm really getting old, and I can't quite understand the thoughts of young people anymore."

"However... if this is a place where you can sign up, maybe I can actually give it a try."

Gongshu Liang silently searched for the registration website and pondered:

"Can we bring the golden statue with us then?"

"I see that some of the companies participating are planning to bring their own mechanics to the competition. The Golden Man from the Industrial Design Bureau should be able to do that too, right?"

"What's the difference between that and the real-life Etherfront?" Yan Huan jumped down from the furnace, very curious.

"A military drill ceremony can involve piloting mechs? What about piloting a star destroyer?"

Master Gongshu looked through the competition rules again.

"Hey, the higher-ups didn't actually say we couldn't fly Star Destroyers."

"?"

Chapter 899 How will you prove it?

"What the hell?"

Yun Li stood next to Master Gongshu and muttered:

"Practicing martial arts is for building physical strength, mental fortitude, and power; it's not a game that can be played overnight."

"Although there are no specific requirements in the competition rules, most normal people would have martial ethics, right?"

"Maybe there's someone who's not normal among them?"

Gongshu Liang glanced at the furnace behind him.

"Ah, it should be ready by now. I need to get busy."

"You should discuss what kind of weapon you want first."

After he left, March 7th began to feel conflicted.

"emmmm..."

Yan Huan urged:

"Hurry up, didn't you decide what weapon you wanted to make before you bought the stone?"

"I originally intended to make a bow." March 7th gave an awkward smile.

"Now that I think about it, I already have a bow, so why not make some other weapon?"

"Anyway, this material is no good. We're just using it as evidence to question the stall owner."

"So, let's make a sword?"

"I think it's a good idea," Yun Li said, crossing her arms in approval.

"Then I'll use my sword to strike this sword. If it nicks and cracks, let's see what excuse he has left."

After some time, March 7th was overjoyed to find two slightly heavy longswords in his hands.

"Wow, Master Gongshu made them so beautifully! I even want to use them to enter the competition."

"Don't judge a book by its cover," Yun Li advised.

"It looks good, that's thanks to the blacksmith, but if the materials are bad, it's all for nothing."

So Yan Huan and Dan Heng followed the two to the market again.

Danheng remained silent throughout the journey.

Yan Huan couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Do you want to go back to your parents' home?"

"No." Dan Heng looked at Yan Huan and explained:

"I just feel that there are undercurrents at this martial arts ceremony, and we should take precautions in advance."

“During this period of time, we have encountered several groups of Buli people lurking in Luofu.”

"Previously, the Cloud Cavalry had never encountered even a single Bu Li person."

"It was as if they had suddenly appeared."

"But the gates to the Jade Realm of Luofu are heavily fortified, so how could they possibly sneak in at a time like this..."

"Luofu is just a formidable obstacle for us," Yan Huan said helplessly.

"For other people, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in."

"However, the rules for participating in this martial arts ceremony are not rigorous in many places."

"This is not like Luofu's usual strict style, after all, Tianbo Company is not even willing to give the company naming rights."

"What do you mean?" Dan Heng's gaze turned serious.

"Is there really an unknown force's spy within Luofu?"

"Isn't that for sure?"

Yan Huan spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"With so many people from Bu Li, it's unlikely they could have suddenly infiltrated the Immortal Ship during this period."

"It could only have been there for a long time, and only recently chose to emerge."
