But Ruojin's tricks don't stop there. He'll also do everything he can to package himself, such as presenting himself as an upright master in front of the media, or exploiting public dissatisfaction with the company to portray himself as a pioneering anti-corporate fighter.
With this combination of punches, even if he used cunning tactics, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent, but at least he could maximize his own profits. Even in a competition like the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony, which had a popularity resurrection match mechanism, he could easily get a piece of "Resurrection Armor" with this method.
It could be said that anyone encountering this Ruojin during this martial arts ceremony would be like stepping into dog shit. Losing would drain them of all their value, and even if they won, they would be accorded a garbled reputation for no apparent reason.
However, this time, Ruojin was unlucky. The Kaslana sisters he met were not locals, so if he wanted to fabricate rumors and slander them, he would need the most basic material to make up a lie.
The Kaslana sisters are really the best people to deal with him.
Wang Xuanqiao told Kiana and Bianca about Ruojin. The sisters knew exactly how much effort they should put into this battle to deal with this villain.
The competition was moving at a brisk pace, given the large number of participants and the constant arrival of new contestants. All the arenas on the Jingfeng ship were operating non-stop, with little to no downtime.
The Kaslana sisters' matches were scheduled in the blink of an eye. Although they didn't need a coach to assist them, they still brought Wang Xuanqiao to the competition as their coach.
Ruojin, who arrived at the arena earlier, was enjoying the cheers from the audience. While responding to the audience, he glanced at the Kaslana sisters who were competing.
Ruojin was a little nervous at first, because when confirming the schedule, he tried to collect intelligence on the opponent, but he could not find any information about the Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao combination at all. It was as if they appeared out of thin air.
However, when he saw that the two girls who came were actually quite frail, he immediately concluded that they were from some family and had come out to join in the fun. Because they usually stayed at home, he couldn't find any information about them.
Even if such a person had some skills, he couldn't possibly be his opponent! Thinking of this, Shuo Jin felt relieved and felt that he had secured victory in this first round of the knockout match.
"My two little sisters, I'll try to hold back when the fight begins. But I still want to warn you: even in a peaceful duel, injuries are inevitable. So, for your sake, I'll give up after just two moves."
Ruojin acted like an elder and spoke earnestly to the Kaslana sisters.
Kiana couldn't help but glance at Bianca, and asked her with her eyes: Do you want to increase the intensity?
Bianca returned the look, saying: One for each.
Ruojin didn't know that his fate had been arranged by the two sisters. He thought that they were moved by what they said to him, and he immediately felt like acting. He was ready to perform in front of his fans and audiences to enrich the image of the great and righteous master he had fabricated.
"You're lucky to have met me. If it weren't for the promotion of the ancient Xianzhou martial arts, I wouldn't have wanted to participate in such a life-and-death competition. Alas, it's a pity that too many warriors nowadays only care about bravery and brutality, but are unwilling to cultivate their character. If you met such a competitor, I'm afraid you would suffer."
Ruojin became more and more excited as he spoke, and intentionally or unintentionally tried to show more of his face to the audience.
"Never mind. I'll stop here. I hope you can see the difference in time and learn to give up sooner."
"Are you done yet?" Kiana couldn't help but complain, "It's about to start, get yourself ready."
The host for this competition, while not the company's big-name host, Ji Mi, was nonetheless a well-known figure in Luofu Xianzhou. He introduced the two opponents to the audience and immediately announced the start of the match.
The moment the order was issued, Ruojin had just put his hands behind his back to pose as a master when he saw the two people in front of him suddenly disappear.
Before he could even think of anything, he was hit hard in the face by a stick. Not only did the sunglasses he used to pretend to be serious fly off, but several of his teeth were also broken out.
But that wasn't the end. After taking a severe blow to the face, Ruojin felt a powerful impact on his buttocks. Ruojin howled and flew off the field, slamming headfirst into the outer wall with a muffled thud.
The game took less than five seconds from start to finish!
Instantly, the audience erupted in a collective uproar. Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, the Guibao Support Group, led by Su Chang, officially began their duel with Iron Arm Luca of the Star Guardian.

Volume 295: : Across the Starry Sea, Fish and Cat vs. the Peach Blossom Swordswoman
Although Luca's debut at the martial arts ceremony was bumpy, he ultimately won.
On the ring, Su Shang taught Xing how to play the role of a coach. Xing then turned around and directed Luca to sweep her cheap master's team out of the competition. Fortunately, the Guibao Fan Club was convinced of their defeat by Luca, but Su Shang herself had to pay a small price to treat her comrades.
After the first round of games, the two scattered teams came together again.
Xing, ever willing to help, officially becomes Luca's coach, ready to help him gain a firm foothold in this martial arts competition, his first foray outside his home planet. This is the moral principle of pioneering: if someone stops in their tracks due to difficulties, she becomes the force that pushes them forward.
Although this undoubtedly made them competitors, Kiana and Bianca didn't care about it at all. On the contrary, after hearing about Luca's participation in the competition, they became curious about the planet Yalilo VI.
Stories written against the backdrop of disaster always contain common emotions.
Whether it was the Honkai disaster that struck Earth, or the invasion of the Legion of Destruction and the endless ice and snow at the core that Yalilo 6 experienced, each was a natural disaster capable of annihilating an entire planet's civilization. Those born in such an environment would undoubtedly share a common ground.
Fortunately, those natural disasters ended in their generation. They witnessed with their own eyes the complete dissipation of the haze that had long shrouded the sky, and the sunlight that had only remained in long-ago stories finally shone upon the world after a long time.
Luca was tasked with promoting Beloberg to the universe and helping him establish greater ties with the galaxy. He was happy that Kiana and Bianca were curious about Yarilo VI, but since he wasn't very good at talking about history, he could only talk about his actual experiences.
Beloberg was the last remaining city on Yalilo 6. When Luca grew up, the then Grand Guardian, Cocolia, even ordered the lower city to be abandoned, leaving the people there.
Luca, however, had never paid much attention to the complex politics of the Upper and Lower Districts. His upbringing was simple and pure. He worked as a blacksmith alongside his father from a young age. As an adult, he was spotted by his talent and recruited into the Lower District's self-defense organization, the Earthfire.
Because protecting others brings Luca a sense of satisfaction, he decides to devote the rest of his life to the ideal of fighting to protect others.
Also, because the children in the lower town admire the strong, they will spontaneously imitate the behavior of the strong; in order to prevent his children from learning from those capable but immoral scum, Luca pursued the throne of the strong.
He never fought for the sake of fighting, even when he was the unchallenged champion in the Downtown Arena. Every time Luca threw a punch, it was to protect, to protect the lives of his compatriots, to protect the future of his children...
Although Luca himself cannot express these truths, the audience can naturally get a glimpse of his inner thoughts from his experiences and his choices.
With the atmosphere at this point, Xing also opened up and recounted the train's journey aboard Beloberg. It was much easier for her to tell the story, like the story of the current Grand Guardian, Bronya, bravely entering the Lower District, and her love-hate relationship with Seele, the [Earth Fire], which immediately piqued Kiana's interest.
Those things about homophones, so cool!
It’s a pity that Yarilo No. 6 is not accessible at the moment, otherwise Kiana really wants to go there and take a look at Bronya who has grown into a delicate girl.
By the way, has Bronya started growing taller recently? Kiana suddenly recalled the last time she saw her. She hadn't noticed much at the time, but now that she thought about it, she seemed to have grown a bit taller.
After a casual chat about Yalilo Six, Luca, who had been a bit nervous, relaxed considerably. Meanwhile, the new match schedule was set. Both teams checked their opponents and went back to prepare for the next match.
The knockout rounds were indeed quite rare, with both sides quickly dispatching their opponents. Xing even found time to message Sanyueqi during the match, asking when she could finally see her fight.
The equally free March Seven Seconds replied to the message, saying that she was waiting for the knockout round to be over, and that she would be matched with an opponent only after the players who advanced with points were determined.
In other words, she is waiting at the end of the level.
The points for the first promotion were not difficult to earn, and soon both teams earned enough points to enter the promotion match.
Luca's match was, as expected, with Topa. Her presence was like a company too big to afford more executives, or perhaps the only one among the company's prominent executives who was completely bored.
And the opponent of Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao...is March 7th.
When Kiana and Bianca met March Seven in the ring, the latter's expression visibly fell.
"Well, be gentler next time?" March 7 said to the two of them.
"Don't worry, March, our most important thing is participation." Kiana smiled and swung the bat.
Yunli herself was going to compete, so Li Suchang, her nominal master, became the "person behind the scenes" on March 7th. Seeing such a fortuitous draw, she couldn't help but smile, raising her lips and greeting her fellow opponents with a fist pump.
Then she encouraged San Yue Qi, saying, "Don't give up so quickly, Ah Qi. As long as you can use all the skills you've learned these days, you can..."
"So I have a chance to win, Master Su Shang!" San Yueqi became excited instantly.
"Well, then...how does that sentence go? Yes, leave no regrets!" Li Suchang almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and when March 7 heard it, his face immediately drooped again.
"That's right. Let's not have any regrets." Bianca nodded with a smile. "Besides, March, you have great potential too. You won't necessarily lose to us."
"Is this true? I haven't read many secret books, so don't lie to me." March Seven raised his two swords, and his body took a beautiful posture with the muscle memory formed by many days of training.
"Well, this is a good performance! I've decided to give half of my emotional support to you to win." Wang Xuanqiao almost took out the terminal to take pictures and videos of them, but it was a pity that the coach was not convenient to do such a thing.
"Why is it only half? I'm fighting one against two. Manager, shouldn't you fully support me emotionally?" March Seven complained with a heroic and dashing sword-holding posture.
"That won't do. If the manager gives you all his emotional support, I'll have none left!" Kiana protested. "Looks like I'll have to fight to keep the manager's emotional support!"
"Oh no, Master Su Shang, I seem to have triggered Kiana's second stage." March Seven turned around hurriedly.
"Well... Ah Qi, this kind of thing can only be solved by hands-on." Li Suchang said that she could do nothing to help.
As he was speaking, the on-site commentator gave the order to start the promotion match.
Coincidentally, the commentator for this qualifying match was none other than Luofu Xianzhou's renowned star, Gui Naifen. Due to the large number of matches taking place simultaneously, Luofu Xianzhou, the organizer, had invited a number of special guests to provide commentary.
"Hello everyone in and out of the venue! I'm Xiao Guizi, the special guest commentator for this match. Next, I'll be bringing you commentary on the match between the sister duo [Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao] and the specially-invited swordsman [Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman]!"
"As you can see, our contestants are actually friends who know each other. A competition between friends has so much to say. They've already been encouraging each other before the competition even began, but ultimately, there can only be one winner. Which of these friends will emerge victorious?"
"As the match began, the Peach Blossom Swordswoman immediately took up her stance. Her aura was so powerful it felt like a sword being unsheathed, its razor-sharp edge revealed! What was she going to do? Oh my god, it looked like she was going to decide the outcome with a single move!"
"The Fish-Cat duo from Zongheng Xinghai seemed to have never seen this move from the Peach Blossom Swordswoman. They exchanged glances, likely discussing a tacit response. Alright, the two began to shift formations, putting some distance between them, hoping to counter the Peach Blossom Swordswoman's hidden killer move."
"The Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman is only one person, after all. Two fists can't beat four hands, and she's now in a very passive position! But she has two swords in her hands. I wonder if she can bring us a wonderful comeback? Wow! Look everyone! The Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman suddenly swung her swords at the two opponents who were pulling away from each other!"
"This is—a flying sword! The Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman actually caught up with my swung sword at lightning speed. Could it be that she's actually the master among the three, and the pre-match encouragement was just mutual humility? Then how will Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao fight back?"
"It's a baseball bat! The flying sword of the Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman was knocked away by Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao with a baseball bat! But what about the other sword? Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao's other sister doesn't have any weapon in her hand!"
"Oh my god! The Peach Blossom Swordswoman actually twisted her body to catch up with the other sword, using incredible speed to get herself out of the disadvantageous situation. Could this actually be just a feint? Her real goal is to be the first to eliminate the unarmed members of the Zongheng Xinghai Fish-Cat combination!"
"Oh no! This sister seems to have absolutely no idea how to deal with this! The Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman orchestrated the course of the match with her shrewd tactics, and now she's about to eliminate one of the opposing players as she wished. It seems that Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao has definitely fallen for her trick!"
"Wait a minute! The Peach Blossom Swordswoman has been grabbed!!! This killing move was completely ineffective. Could it be that Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao has everything under control?! The Peach Blossom Swordswoman has been captured, and both of her swords have been thrown out of the arena, and there's no way to retrieve them!"
"At this point, we can only announce—wait a minute! Audience members, look! The Peach Blossom Twin Swords Heroine's coach—she's warming up!"
——The author has something to say——
Different from the original plot, here March 7 also followed Huai Yan's arrangement to participate in the martial arts ceremony, and Yun Li was also in the competition pool.
However, according to the invited contestants, they didn't have to compete in the knockout rounds, but could directly challenge Yan Qing, the ringmaster of the martial arts ceremony. This meant they would face Yan Qing directly on the first day while the other contestants were competing in the knockout rounds. However, to be honest, this didn't quite fit in with his storyline.
If Yan Qing could challenge him on the first day, what Yan Qing said when they ran into Luca on Xuanye Avenue wouldn't make sense. So, I think it would be better to have the invited players enter the promotion tournament directly. They wouldn't have to play the points tournament like regular players. As long as they made it through the promotion tournament, they could continue to the next round, all the way to the ring master, Yan Qing.
So, March 7th met the Kaslana sisters in the promotion match, and then—
The head coach is warming up!
Volume 296: : Believe in your potential, Ah Qi!
Just as the commentator Gui Naifen said, when Bianca locked his shoulders on March 7, Li Suchang began to move his wrists, as if he was ready to attack.
"Dear audience members, while the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony doesn't have a rule allowing coaches to temporarily enter the game, it also doesn't have a rule for terminating the match. This means you can lose the game, but you have to win back the loss! But the players on both sides are friends. Is this the proverbial father-son game?"
What a mess! Is that even legal? Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but glance over at the commentary booth. Gui Naifen was clutching the microphone, beaming with excitement, completely ecstatic herself.
When Gui Naifen let loose, Li Sushang also moved in an instant. However, she did not enter the arena. Instead, she quickly ran towards the two swords that San Yueqi had accidentally thrown out of the arena, and retrieved them all as quickly as possible.
"So the Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman's coach was trying to help the contestant retrieve their weapons. The referee didn't signal a violation, which means it's allowed! According to the rules of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, as long as the coach doesn't enter the competition area to interfere, they have a high degree of freedom."
While Gui Naifen was explaining like a machine gun, Li Suchang had already placed March 7's double swords at the edge of the field.
"Aqi, do you still remember the sword-wielding skills I taught you?" She shouted to Sanyueqi, who was almost being lifted up by Bianca.
"Master Su Shang, but I haven't learned it!" San Yue Qi kicked his legs in the air twice, and spread his hands, which were locked by Bianca and could not move, to Li Su Shang without any hindrance, expressing his helplessness.
"Believe in your potential, Ah Qi!" Li Suchang gave San Yueqi an encouraging smile.
"That's right, you have to believe in your potential, March." Bianca, who was locking March 7, also agreed.
"Then why don't you put me down!" March Seven kicked his legs twice again.
At this time, Kiana trotted over and stood next to March 7. She licked her lips, held the bat with both hands, and faced the outside of the field as if she was going to hit the ball, obviously preparing to intercept.
"Ah! Facing the numerous blockades from Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao, can our Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman break through the obstacles and show us the deep friendship between her and her coach, forged over time? Although Xiao Guizi, as a commentator, cannot favor either player, Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao also encourages Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman! So, please allow me to say—"
"Come on! Peach Blossom Swordswoman! Respond to your coach and show everyone your potential! You can do it, right?"
No, isn't that pure partiality? Wang Xuanqiao glanced at the commentary booth again and saw Gui Naifen standing up, holding the microphone and commentating.
It can only be said that while the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony is primarily a show of martial prowess, it's also entertaining. Especially with a company like this, a capital giant, also investing in the event, stirring audience emotions and attracting traffic has become a new function.
Well, everyone needs to develop the economy after all. The company needs economic benefits, and the immortal ship needs sufficient revenue to cover the military expenses of conquering the rich evil creatures.
Led by Gui Naifen, the audience began to cheer for March 7. They may not necessarily support March 7, but they definitely hope that the competition can have a turnaround and be more exciting.
Listening to the cheers around her, Sanyueqi's heart gradually began to fill with excitement. She felt her blood boiling, but her thoughts calmed down. Sanyueqi recalled the days when she learned sword-wielding from Li Sushang, and a formula gradually emerged.
The heart is the way...
The meaning is to use it as a tool...
The soul is the furnace...
God, you think...why?
San Yue Qi was too busy to speak, feeling the urge to retrieve her sword. She stretched out her hands towards the outside of the arena, and the two swords that Li Sushang had placed on the edge of the arena actually began to tremble slightly!
"Oh my god, she's going to do it! The Peach Blossom Twin Swordswoman has answered the coach's expectations and the audience's calls! Fish and cats of the Starry Sea, be careful! Our friends' counterattack is about to begin, are you ready?"
"Hey, she hasn't got the weapon yet!" Kiana couldn't help but complain to the commentary booth.
