Li Yuxuan adjusted his tie awkwardly.
Under his trench coat, a neat formal outfit loomed.
As the official swordsmanship coach of the Chen family's daughters, he is required to wear at least formal attire at international fencing conventions.
But since he didn't have a suit or any formal attire, Chen Xuewei prepared a custom-made luxury suit for him.
This suit is particularly prominent due to Li Yuxuan's toned muscles, and it looks quite good overall.
"It looks good on you." Chen Xuewei said.
Song Jialin commented: "Wow, it really doesn't look good on you."
Li Yuxuan was speechless and closed his mouth.
Song Jialin smiled and patted his shoulder, "Haha, but it's still worth watching."
Li Yuxuan asked blankly: "Why are you here?"
At this time, Li Yuxuan and the two were walking towards Jiangshi Stadium.
How much has the stadium changed since it was announced that this year's Sword Contest would be held in Jiang City.
Song Jialin, who seemed out of place here, couldn't help but feel stunned.
"Why, can't I be here? My mission is completed, so I'll take a rest." Song Jialin glared at Li Yuxuan and said, "Besides, you look a bit young."
"What?"
"What skin care products do you use? Why not share it with your friends."
"If I had money to put something on my face, I'd rather buy another magic bullet."
"You crazy person..."
Song Jialin muttered, and then Chen Xuewei spoke.
"It's almost time."
Today, master swordsmen from all over the world will gather here.
Therefore, crowds of ordinary people, photographers, street vendors, police, officials and famous hunters can all be seen here.
Chen Xuewei and Song Jialin are quite eye-catching. Whenever they pass by, many people will come up to say hello.
"Miss Chen Xuewei, this sword discussion conference..."
"Sorry, I don't want to answer."
"Hunter Song Jialin! Why did you come to participate in today's sword discussion..."
"Go away."
Although the two women handle things differently, they are both efficient at fighting off anyone who comes close.
Unlike Song Jialin and Chen Xuewei, no one approaches Li Yuxuan because his face is almost unknown.
Until someone said: "Ah, aren't you hunter Li Yuxuan?"
"...?"
Li Yuxuan turned his head when he heard someone calling his name.
While this is a familiar face, this is the first time they've met in person.
This is S-class hunter Li Junxi, a member of the Silver Wing Alliance, one of the five major guilds in Jiang City, and one of the most famous hunters in Jiang City.
"I didn't expect to see you here. Haha, nice to see you."
"Yes, it's nice to meet you...but, is there anything I can do for you?"
Feeling this nervous greeting, Li Junxi waved his hand with a "Don't get me wrong" expression on his face.
"Nothing. It's just that I heard that you and another person cleaned up a deformed copy, and it was also an S-level copy. You are really amazing."
Li Junxi also greeted Song Jialin and Chen Xuewei.
But he paid more attention to Li Yuxuan.
So it was quite an awkward situation when he wasn't paying attention to the two hunters that everyone else was paying attention to.
Li Junxi naturally walked to Jiangshi Stadium with Li Yuxuan.
Contrary to Song Jialin's angry expression, Li Yuxuan briefly talked with Li Junxi and thought it would be good to become an acquaintance.
"Actually, my ability has nothing to do with swordsmanship. But I want to see the skills of a master swordsman."
"I see."
Along the way, Li Junxi was mainly talking and Li Yuxuan was responding.
"It's going to be an interesting sparring, right? It used to be that way, but it's different now. Something like... traditional swordsmanship has been eclipsed in modern times."
"I think that's why people look forward to this event. It's not a boring show."
Lee Joon Suk doesn't even use a sword, but it's fair to say he loves swordsmanship more than some masters.
As he passed the crowd, Lee Jun-seok quietly pointed and muttered as he passed several "master" swordsmen.
"These people shouldn't be out here."
The word "master" seems to mean a master swordsman, but Li Yuxuan prefers to call it a ranking.
Master swordsman.
Unfortunately, this is a meaningless term, as even someone who can't defeat a Class E superhuman can be considered a "master swordsman."
Although they have kept the swordsmanship tradition alive in modern times, resulting in the creation of super-powered beings who use swords, it is inevitable that ordinary swordsmen are weaker than those with super-powers.
Because they can't do anything when faced with adverse circumstances.
For ordinary people, shooting with a magic gun is better than wielding a magic sword.
...This is common sense, and not long ago, Li Yuxuan also thought so.
But that is no longer the case.
Unfortunately, the problem is simply Blue Star's lack of swordsmanship, not a weak swordsmanship.
Regarding Blue Star's swordsmanship, there are limits to what magic energy can do.
Li Yuxuan didn't feel too good about this sword discussion conference.
Because this sword debate conference is full of ordinary martial artists who still regret not having superpowers.
"That's why I don't like 'Yellen', the master swordsman, so much."
"Yelen?"
Li Yuxuan tilted his head in confusion, not expecting to hear that name.
At the same time, Song Jialin frowned, but Li Junxi didn't see it because Li Yuxuan blocked her.
"Yes. Have you heard of him?"
"Of course. But why?"
"Ye Lun has a high status in the Kendo Alliance."
"Ah...really?"
"Yes. Ah, speaking of it, I heard that he brought a "kendo master" this time. You know that can only be Suzuki Hanako, right? When she awakened as a C-class superpower at the age of 20, she news."
"I know."
That was none other than Chen Xuewei's opponent.
"Also, I heard that Ye Lun has been teaching the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family. Okay, I get it. It's more effective to be mentored by a martial artist of similar strength."
In addition, he is also a powerful S-class superpower.
"It looks like the Suzuki family was prepared. They've been in the shadow of the Chen family for almost ten years, and now they finally have a chance to build their own reputation."
Chen Xuewei's father, Chen Hongshan, is a powerful SS-level swordsman, while Hanako's father, Suzuki Daisei, is still only S-level.
Although he had the title of "Master Swordsman", his pride was hurt by a simple letter.
As their time ends, now is the time of their children.
It seems that Suzuki Daisei is trying to restore his self-esteem by letting his daughter beat Chen Hongshan's daughter.
"Um……"
Ji Ziyuan had no idea what kind of political struggle was going on behind the scenes.
However, in all of this, Chen Xuewei was determined to make him, an F-level, her coach, and Chen Hongshan allowed it all.
Somehow, Ji Ziyuan felt that he was great.
So when Ji Ziyuan entered this new stadium that looked like an event hall, he thought in his mind.
There were many people in uniforms at the Sword Discussion Conference.
"Senior, where have you been?"
Li Junxi kept talking to Li Yuxuan and didn't stop even when they entered, until he heard someone talking next to him.
It was a woman in her twenties.
"Ah, An Xin, haven't you already gone to your seat?"
"You are really, really...how can I go alone without you? Who is the person next to you?"
An Xin's eyes lit up when she saw the man walking with Li Junxi.
As a member of the Silver Alliance guild to which Li Junxi belongs, she is also an A-level superpower user. She once made headlines for gaining C+ level fire abilities immediately after awakening.
She saw Lee Joon-seok's eyes lighting up as he excitedly talked to the man, thinking he might be a celebrity.
"Ah, by the way! This is Li Yuxuan. He is an F-class hunter who has been active for 15 years. Have you heard of him?"
"...What? Class F?"
Unlike Li Junxi who introduced Li Yuxuan with enthusiasm, An Xin's eyes immediately dimmed.
However, she has been a hunter for three years.
So even though she didn't show it because of some rules, anyone could tell that she had lost interest in Li Yuxuan.
"Ah... yes! I think I've heard of you. Nice to meet you."
Li Junxi noticed the cold reaction and felt a little embarrassed, while Li Yuxuan remained calm.
"Ahaha, she is still a newbie and not sensible."
"...Hmm. Okay, that's okay. Can we go now?"
After speaking, Li Yuxuan covered Song Jialin's mouth with both hands, while Li Junxi was sweating profusely.
The seal of this Pandora's box is quite difficult and is about to burst.
In a place where celebrities gather, being the center of attention can still be a headache.
"Ah, haha... I'm sorry. Then, let's go. I want to take my seat on behalf of my guild."
"OK."
After saying goodbye, Li Junxi turned around and left, but when he suddenly thought of something, he looked back at Li Yuxuan.
"Ah, one more thing. I hope you can participate in this year's "Jiang City Hunter Conference". I have something to ask you, about the Gate of Hell..."
After saying these words, Li Junxi and An Xin hurried to their seats.
After walking for a while and away from the sight of Song Jialin and Li Yuxuan, Li Junxi looked at An Xin and spoke.
"...An Xin, what did you mean by your terrible way of greeting just now?"
"What? What's the big deal? He's just an F-class hunter, isn't he just an ordinary person?"
Although Li Yuxuan is not a celebrity, people still know that he was kicked out of the Pegasus Guild.
When Li Junxi heard her say "What's the big deal", his tone immediately became cold.
"...Yes. An ordinary hunter who has lived on the battlefield for 15 years and even survived the gate of hell. Do you understand?"
"Oh, well...that's really awesome, but..."
"An Xin."
Li Junxi looked at An Xin with pity and said.
"I know you have been following me because you want to make connections. Since you are a studious junior, I don't mind. I also think there is nothing wrong with juniors making connections through me."
After being exposed, An Xin shut her mouth.
Thinking that Li Junxi had always known these things, she began to sweat.
"So I tried my best to arrange a good connection for you this time. Although it didn't last long, I tried my best to please him and wanted to give you everything I worked hard for. But you threw it away."
"Ah...I'm sorry..."
"I'm very disappointed in you, An Xin."
After saying this, Li Junxi turned around and left first.
An Xin stayed where she was, holding the hem of her skirt tightly, lost in thought.
She still couldn't understand.
This is not because she is a proud A-level hunter, or she belongs to the Silver Wing Alliance, one of the five major guilds in Jiang City, or she is a girl in her twenties who only pursues celebrities.
No, instead, she saw his true colors.
"After all...he's just an F-class hunter, right?"
She had heard enough about Li Yuxuan.
He was involved in two quite large events.
However, none of the A- and S-class senior hunters she knew with more than five years of experience were willing to reveal anything about these incidents.
"Yeah, okay. Awesome, but...that's all?"
"Didn't Song Jialin clean up the deformed copy last time? The energy output showed that it was an SS-level copy."
"F-level. Although sometimes he seems smarter...but there is a limit."
"15 years. It's amazing to be active without superpowers...but still, I would rather choose a third-year genius C-level hunter."
"Yes, even a C-level porter would be more useful, right?"
"I really don't understand..."
While she was thinking hard, Li Junxi quickly walked down the corridor.
Li Junxi.
An S-class hunter who has been active for 10 years and experienced all kinds of hardships.
He's been around the industry long enough to have seen and heard more than the average hunter, and because of that, he knows.
Door of hell.
What does it mean for a person to survive hell?
Li Yuxuan is so talented that it is really inappropriate to be treated like this.
Perhaps if it weren't for the manipulation of the Pegasus Guild, he would already be famous all over the world.
"Missed opportunity."
Thinking that if he hadn't been interrupted, he could have gotten closer to Li Yuxuan.
Li Junxi clicked his tongue quietly.
