The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

This guy is called Tie Niu, and he's famous in the training ground for his rock-solid defense. Even if others beat him until they're exhausted, he might not fall down.

After the organizers of the martial arts arena felt that not attacking for a long time was against the rules, he developed a technique that could reflect damage while defending.

Therefore, the opponent Yang Xiying encountered this time was the type she couldn't attack rashly. But as the saying goes, when facing a defensive block, you have to fuck it!

"Excuse me! Holy Knights' Secret Technique!"

Therefore, in the second battle, viewers could always see the scene of Tie Niu, who was defending, being knocked to the ground by Yang Xiying while she was saying inexplicable things.

Although Iron Bull's defense is indeed strong, his grappling technique is a move that grabs the opponent, disrupts their balance, and then slams them to the ground in an instant!

The damage is not caused by the user's strength, but by the hardness of the ground and the weight of the person being thrown.

However, most people cannot match the strength of the ground, so if they collide with it, they will only get hurt, even though Iron Bull's defensive methods are extraordinary.

He learned a kung fu called Iron Block, which infused his well-trained body with power, giving it the hardness of iron, making it impenetrable even to bullets and swords.

But after being hit by the ground a few times, it will eventually become docile.

"Lu Da falls down the willow tree—!!!"

After being dizzy from the repeated impacts with the ground, Tie Niu was hoisted onto Yang Xiying's shoulder and spun around before being thrown into the air!

But Yang Xiying wasn't going to unleash an Ultra Hurricane. Instead, she suddenly leaped up, grabbed the opposite side headfirst, and spun them at high speed like a spinning top as they plummeted downwards!

Bang--!!!!!!

Finally, Yang Xiying smashed a huge crater into the arena with Tie Niu's head, producing an incredibly dull and loud thud!

For a moment, the onlookers were frightened by Yang Xiying's expression, feeling as if their own necks were broken.

—So, he's still alive, right...?

"This guy is still hanging on by a thread, let's take him to see a doctor now," Yang Xiying said, calling on the referee to lead the player off the field.

Even though Lu Da had never used the "Piercing Willow" move on anyone, he still felt it was very dangerous, so Yang Xiying held back somewhat this time.

In addition to the healing skills he learned and the internal energy he infused into him, he could survive even without emergency treatment. However, the organizers would not leave the contestant untreated.

Only in this way can they ask the athletes for medical expenses. If they can't get medical expenses, they should just work for them honestly.

Farming, doing business, and working as a maid—only after experiencing these things did they realize that competing in tournaments was not a very down-to-earth way to make money.

"Okay, the winner of the second match is Yang Xiying," the referees announced the result before taking Tie Niu to the emergency room.

After that, Yang Xiying began preparing for his third match. After all, he came here to make money, and it would be a pity not to play more matches.

However, the remaining contestants hesitated after Yin Hu Tie Niu turned into that grotesque state, even though Yang Xi Ying's performance was initially clumsy.

But that doesn’t mean it’s getting harder and harder. It’s obvious that this guy became more and more skilled later on. He completely used them as whetstones!

Moreover, Silver Tiger and Iron Bull's strength is comparable to theirs, and after a period of time, both of them were being suppressed. So, what about themselves...?

In short, the atmosphere became awkward while Yang Xiying waited for the third player, and his winning streak is likely to end at two games.

"Since no one else is going to step up, how about we have a match next?"

However, just when everyone thought the arena was over, a spirited voice suddenly rang out from below the stage!

——!

This drew many people's attention to the source of the sound, and they were all incredibly surprised, because it was a purple-haired female warrior!

"Captain Ming... Captain Mingluo?!" They were all very familiar with this figure—wasn't this Mingluo, the expert who protected the Human Village?!

She actually showed up here too?!

"Captain Ming... Captain Mingluo, are you going to participate in the competition?"

The host then asked, "How long has it been since we've seen someone who didn't register beforehand suddenly jump out to challenge us?!"

Yes, this is not the first time this has happened, and the organizers of the tournament are very welcoming of it.

After all, this is very interesting and full of surprises, especially since He can make a lot of money when He is an expert!

"Yes, I want to participate. I'll follow the rules and bet on myself to win. Also, Lady Yang Xiying, will you accept my challenge?"

Mingluo nodded and prepared to participate in the arena according to the rules here. At the same time, he jumped onto the field and set his gaze on Yang Xiying on the other side.

“If I refuse at a time like this, it would probably spoil everyone’s fun,” Yang Xiying said, though Mingluo wanted to challenge her.

"But why would Miss Mingluo challenge me at this time?" Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision or just a way to warm up the atmosphere?

"Because I've been thinking about you, Mr. Yang Xiying, lately."

"???"

Upon hearing Mingluo's words, Yang Xiying's mind immediately filled with three question marks. Seriously? Do you know what you're saying?!

"Oh my, no wonder Yang Xiying has such an outstanding performance on the stage. It turns out he has always been favored by our Captain Mingluo!"

"So this sparring is a way for both sides to express their feelings?!"

At this moment, the host and the audience suddenly got excited because Mingluo's words were a bit too explosive!

I've been thinking about you a lot lately, isn't this just how things are going to unfold?!

"Well, I feel like we've only met twice, including this time. Is there anything about me that's memorable?"

Yang Xiying was somewhat unable to contain herself, and even started looking at his stats. His favorability rating was 18, a very safe value. How could he say such a thing?!

“I see you borrowing books under the statue of the God of War every day, and you get stronger every time you borrow a book.”

"I was wondering about this back then, but I eventually learned from my subordinates that you were a martial arts genius. I'm really looking forward to seeing how strong you will become in the future."

"Now that I see you showing off your skills in the ring, I can't wait to spar with you."

"..."

"Why is everyone so quiet?" Mingluo suddenly felt that the surroundings had become quieter, which puzzled her.

“…Miss Mingluo, you could have said the last part beforehand.”

Yang Xiying suddenly realized that Mingluo's being misunderstood by Reimu Hakurei as a declaration of love wasn't because the latter was too naive...

PS: The first opponent with a name (although it's from an older work) is when the martial artist's substitute fighter unleashes his power.

NO.20 If it's you, then I'll give it my all!

"Is...is that so?" Mingluo was stunned for a moment after hearing Yang Xiying's words, and then responded.

"I'm not very good at speaking, please forgive me. Also, I've already stated my reasons."

"May I spar with you? Of course, I will fight you with a wooden sword, but you can also choose a weapon to use."

"—Rules can be implemented using spell card rules."

Mingluo shifted the topic back to martial arts, consulting Yang Xiying and setting some restrictions as if afraid she might refuse.

"I haven't been in Gensokyo for long, and I don't know what moves to use to make spell cards, so I'll just follow the rules I used when I fought against other players before."

Yang Xiying spoke up at this moment, saying that although the spell card rules were created to balance combat power, they were basically something that the strong in Gensokyo played with.

Because only strong individuals can create spell cards that can be considered ultimate techniques, although Yang Xiying can currently create a few.

However, if he wants to win against Mingluo now, he needs a martial artist to fight in his place, which would give him a few more ultimate moves comparable to spell cards.

—Then, if they violate the rules, they will be penalized with a loss.

“Besides, we are both martial artists, so we can stop when we’re sparring,” Yang Xiying said, and Ming Luo nodded subconsciously.

"I see. I'll stop here. I'm glad you accepted the challenge. Now, please choose a weapon."

Mingluo's favorability towards you has increased by 2 points.

As she spoke, Mingluo asked the host to help preserve the props and replace them with wooden swords, and Yang Xiying also made a request to the host at this moment.

"—If you're looking for a weapon, just give me a soccer ball."

Everyone: "?"

What does he need a football for?

Seeing Mingluo holding a wooden sword and Yang Xiying with a soccer ball at her feet, the audience immediately looked puzzled.

Is this person trying to use a soccer ball as a projectile launcher?

The audience can only understand it this way, because Gensokyo has a martial art that uses soccer balls as projectiles, but it is basically used for shooting.

After all, you have to retrieve the ball once it's kicked out, so it's not very convenient to use it to hit people; it's basically a disposable prop.

So Yang Xiying wanted to decide the outcome with one kick?

"So, Lady Yang Xiying is also skilled in archery martial arts?" Mingluo also thought that Yang Xiying wanted to use the football as a bullet screen.

After all, this can indeed make up for the lack of ranged attacks, and Yang Xiying's moves before all seemed to be close-combat.

"Since it is Lord Mingluo who is my opponent, I will hold nothing back!"

Yang Xiying slightly spread her feet apart, bent her elbows and placed them on her waist, and her aura immediately erupted from her body and spread outwards!

——! ! !

Everyone felt this aura, and at this moment they were even more convinced that Yang Xiying was here to fry fish!

"I feel different kinds of energy emanating from your body... Lord Yang Xiying, are you simultaneously circulating four internal energy techniques?!"

This was especially true when Captain Mingluo uttered those words, because a person can generally only circulate one internal energy at a time!

"No, buddy?!"

"How can someone circulate multiple internal energy techniques simultaneously?!"

"I've heard that Captain Mingluo and his skilled fighters like the Shrine Maiden Hakure can do it, but it's only two of them! What the hell is four?!"

"Huh? So a person can't circulate four internal energy techniques at the same time?" Yang Xiying was puzzled when she heard the commotion around her.

—He read in "The Legend of the Sword and the Clouds" that even Tie Dan could simultaneously circulate four internal energy techniques.

Are you even speaking human language?!

The audience was even more stunned, because this guy was going to drive them crazy. How wonderful it would be to circulate multiple internal energy at the same time!

If one were to simultaneously circulate the Mountain-Crushing Force and the Northern Darkness Divine Art, one could simultaneously enjoy the bonuses brought by these two internal arts, and Yang Xiying…

"Mountain-Crushing Force, Emerald Peak Technique, Northern Darkness Divine Art... Hiss, and there's also the Four Symbols Limitless Art, which even the Scarlet Devil Mansion's gatekeeper has mastered!"

"This guy is definitely lying if he says he's only been practicing for two weeks! This aura doesn't seem like someone who's only learned four internal techniques!"

"Yeah, I remember the Mountain-Crushing Force is a Yang-attribute internal skill, so why is this guy's burst of energy still silvery-white?!"

"So that guy's internal energy is of the Yin-Yang attribute?! Holy crap! He even learned Yin-attribute internal energy...?!"

Internal skills are divided into attributes, which is something that everyone in Gensokyo who has received the inheritance of the Martial God knows. They are generally divided into three types: Yin, Yang, and Harmony!

The aura emitted by Yin-attribute internal energy is azure blue, while that of Yang-attribute internal energy is golden yellow, and that of a mixture is silvery white!

The Yin-Yang Harmony is a type of internal energy that remains silver-white even after learning either the Yang or Yin attributes; it is an upgraded version of harmony!

It is also a very difficult attribute to achieve and progress is slow, after all, yin and yang are mutually exclusive, and if they are not properly balanced, they will basically ruin themselves.

But Yang Xiying was able to do it... Damn it, why is there such a big difference between people?

It seems I really have become the Sword God of Shili Slope...

The astonishment of the onlookers made Yang Xiying sigh, no wonder Yakumo Yukari said she was already very good back then.

During the two weeks of training, Yukari Yakumo came to see him once, saying that he had made some impressive progress and offering some pointers.

Because she hadn't practiced the Mountain-Crushing Force and the Boundless Heart Technique, two internal skills with different attributes, Yang Xiying was still hesitant.

After all, mentioning Yin and Yang immediately brings to mind the Yin-Yang system in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, where martial arts and internal skills both possess Yin-Yang attributes.

Yang internal energy enhances Yang martial arts, and Yin internal energy enhances Yin martial arts. In addition, there are various styles of martial arts, such as fighting, swordsmanship, knife techniques, spear techniques, and staff techniques.
