As the Global Martial Arts Tournament approached, the Shenwang Forum buzzed with activity, filled with posts discussing the event, particularly its combat sparring segment.
"Newbie here, just asking out of ignorance, why is there a combat sparring agenda in the Global Martial Arts Tournament, which is supposed to be a conference?"
Among these, a particular post became the most popular on the forum.
Many newbies and uninformed martial artists wanted answers, while some rushed to reply, driven by vanity. Daifeng Novel Network.
One particular reply was the reason this post became a hot topic.
"The War God Hall is a global martial arts organization established to resist extraterrestrial enemies.
The Global Martial Arts Tournament, held after the establishment of the War God Hall, is a grand event aimed at formulating the latest plans to resist extraterrestrial enemies based on actual circumstances.
However—
Extraterrestrial enemies have not appeared for twelve years.
This has caused the original intention of holding the Global Martial Arts Tournament to gradually change, with the focus shifting from resisting extraterrestrial enemies to power struggles!
At the last Global Martial Arts Tournament, the War God Hall, led by the Roman family, proposed the inclusion of martial arts combat sparring in the agenda, citing the promotion of global martial arts development through combat exchanges.
However, many believed the motive was not as stated. The War God Hall, led by the Roman family, intended to suppress the Dragon Country martial arts world through this method.
This was because, in the combat sparring of the previous Global Martial Arts Tournament, martial artists from various countries targeted martial artists from the Dragon Country martial arts world!
The Dragon Country martial arts world suffered defeats in the Genius group, Two-star War God group, and Three-star War God group. Three martial arts prodigies were even crippled. Only the Four-star War God group and Five-star War God group, representing high-end combat power, emerged victorious.
Upon reading this, some might ask why global countries and major martial arts factions targeted the Dragon Country martial arts world.
The superficial answer to this question is Jiang Zhan.
Back then, Jiang Zhan single-handedly massacred the War God Hall's hunting team and crippled Anthony Roman, the son of the War God Hall's leader.
At that time, the War God Hall, led by the Roman family, demanded severe punishment for Jiang Zhan. Master Zhuge Lingjun and Marshal Qi, representing the Dragon Country martial arts world's strong practitioners, stepped forward and voiced their support, ultimately protecting Jiang Zhan. However, this also led to a rift with the global martial arts factions led by the Roman family.
They believed the Dragon Country martial arts world, relying on its strength, disregarded the bigger picture, unity, and trampled upon the rules of the War God Hall!
The real, hidden reason is that the War God Hall, led by the Roman family, feared that the combat power of the Dragon Country martial arts world was too strong, affecting the authority of the War God Hall. Therefore, after the divine battle twelve years ago, they had been trying to suppress the Dragon Country martial arts world, attempting to weaken its combat power and influence!
The martial arts combat sparring at the Global Martial Arts Tournament was just one of the methods!"
...
This reply, laced with a touch of conspiracy theory, propelled the post to hot topic status, but it was soon deleted.
It became the shortest-lived hot topic on the Shenwang Forum.
The account that provided the aforementioned answer was also permanently banned by the Shenwang Forum administrators.
However—
Even so, this so-called truth stirred up a massive wave on the Shenwang Forum, until two posts appeared.
"Ouren Country's martial arts prodigy Zoro has emerged. Like Jiang Wuming, he is at the tenth stage of One-star War God and will soon participate in the genius group combat sparring of this Global Martial Arts Tournament!"
"Besides Zoro from Ouren Country, Miyamoto Shin from Nin国, Pogba from Faou Country, Ike from Northern Europe Country, Rice from North American Alliance, Lovsky from Xiong Country, Baruyut from Thailand, Shihan from Tianzhu Country, Tevez from South American Alliance, Muye from Ao Yang Country, and Princess Anna from the Roman Papal State have all emerged. They have all broken through to the One-star War God realm!"
These two messages, originating from an intelligence organization's account, were quickly pinned and highlighted, soon becoming hot topics, replacing previous discussions and conspiracy theories.
"My God, so many martial arts prodigies have emerged this year, and they are already One-star War Gods?"
"I have to say, the research and development of gene drugs have driven the development of the global martial arts world."
"Indeed. Back then, Jiang Zhan broke through to One-star War God at the age of twenty-eight, creating a myth in the global martial arts world. Now, many martial arts prodigies have become One-star War Gods before the age of thirty!"
...
Although the two messages indicated that major countries around the world had produced young One-star War God martial arts prodigies, it did not cause much of a stir. People merely marveled at the changes brought about by gene drugs in the martial arts world.
All of this was due to Jiang Wuming!
Jiang Wuming, only twenty years old, was at the tenth stage of One-star War God.
Such martial arts achievements made these so-called martial arts prodigies pale in comparison!
"If the conspiracy theory mentioned by the person named Jianghu Baixiaosheng is true, then will the emergence of these martial arts prodigies be aimed at Jiang Wuming and the prodigies of the Dragon Country martial arts world?"
Besides this, someone raised such a question.
This post sparked considerable heated discussion, with many expressing their views. However, throughout it all, they never received any response from the prodigies mentioned in the information posting on the Shenwang Forum.
"Regardless of whether the conspiracy theory is true or not, the families of most of these prodigies have grudges against Jiang Zhan. As long as Jiang Wuming participates in the Global Martial Arts Tournament, they will definitely cause trouble for Jiang Wuming!"
Someone made this deduction, which received unanimous approval.
Just as everyone believed that Jiang Wuming was considered a thorn in the side and a source of irritation for martial arts prodigies from various countries around the world, another post once again made the Shenwang Forum explode.
"Jiang Wuming, I'll be waiting for you at the Global Martial Arts Tournament!"
"Jiang Wuming, I am from the City of Sin and a student of Master Dawson. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to have a combat sparring match with you at the Global Martial Arts Tournament!
—Gade."
Gade personally applied for and logged into his Shenwang account to post, issuing a martial arts challenge to Jiang Wuming.
"My God, Dawson's student, ranked third on the Five-star War God list and known as the third strongest force on Earth, is challenging Jiang Wuming!"
"The world knows Jiang Wuming is at the tenth stage of One-star War God and possesses powerful mental strength. This Gade is still challenging him; how strong is he?"
Gade's personal appearance on the Shenwang Forum to challenge Jiang Wuming, while making the forum explode, also piqued everyone's curiosity about Gade's strength. Some inquired in the posts, while others @-mentioned the intelligence organization's account.
However—
Before they could get an answer, another post appeared, completely igniting the Shenwang Forum!
"Jiang Wuming, I will teach you how to behave in the combat sparring of the Global Martial Arts Tournament genius group!"
—Qi Tian of Ming Hall.
Ten days remained until the Global Martial Arts Tournament.
Prodigies from various countries and major martial arts factions around the world had emerged. Among them, Gade, the strongest martial arts prodigy from the City of Sin, had issued a martial arts challenge to Jiang Wuming, while Qi Tian, the Holy Son of Ming Hall, had directly confronted Jiang Wuming!
"Will Jiang Wuming participate and accept the challenge?"
On this day.
Martial artists from all over the world waited in anticipation on the Shenwang Forum, wanting to know the answer.
