The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

The situation in Japan, overseas, has also been unsettled in the past two years.

Shortly after Zhao Wushi was executed, Japan was enraged by the sea. Folklore says that someone angered the sea god, but there are also rumors in the martial arts world that the Shinkage-ryu is insane and uses human sacrifices to attract giant sea beasts in an attempt to kill the dragon vein!

Whether it's true or not is unknown, but judging from the fact that Japan didn't make any big moves and the leader of the Shinkage-ryu was changed, it must have failed at least.

Only a few members of the Righteous Alliance, when drunk, let slip that the Righteous Alliance had upheld justice for Japan...

The island was in chaos, with battles raging between Izumo and Fusang. In the end, Fusang, supported by the Shinkage-ryu, won a great victory. However... afterwards, they miraculously reached an agreement with the Righteous Alliance on the "Martial Arts Market Agreement," and the leader of the Shinkage-ryu, Yagyu Hyousuke, had also joined the Righteous Alliance.

There are also rumors that the dragon vein beast was indeed killed, but it was intercepted and the Sun Moon Cult succeeded.

……

Although the world is not yet settled, it is generally approaching the end of the great chaos, and with the gradual expansion of the "Martial Arts Market," the situation among the people has become much more stable.

The only regret for many is that the Righteous Alliance has never agreed to include local gentry and wealthy people in its protection scope...

Speaking of nouveau riche, Wan Sanqian, who was the richest man in the world two years ago, suddenly became Wan Dashanren, calling himself "manager". However, no one knows who the boss behind the scenes is. All that is known is that Wanqian Trading Company has become particularly "kind". It even makes people wonder if they have really started to only do good deeds and not make money.

While nominally the private property of Wanqian Merchant Guild, Tianxia Diyi Zhuang is actually a subordinate department remotely controlled by Hulong Mountain Villa, with Shangguan Haitang still serving as its head.

That year, the newly issued "Heroic List" of the Number One Manor under Heaven broke with tradition and replaced the 30-year-old number one, Zhang Zhenren, with Chu Luren, the leader of the Righteous Alliance!

I wonder what Master Zhang will think when he sees this. But... no matter how you look at it, Chu Luren is already in the Northern Desert, and considering what Chu Luren is doing now and what he has done in the past few years, Master Zhang... probably won't have any objections to this list...
