Chapter 80

"Never thought there would be another work!" Lu Dashan had a very refined feeling.

"The 'Eternal Life Sword' is definitely a classic work. I hope this 'Peacock Feather' won't disappoint me..."

While pleasantly surprised, Lu Dashan was also a bit worried, fearing that the 'Eternal Life Sword' might be a one-time success.

Such things have happened before. Some writers, inspired, wrote an extremely excellent work, but for a long time afterward, their works could not surpass their previous inspired creation.

Therefore, Lu Dashan was worried that the 'Peacock Feather' might also be like this.

"Still, let's read it first." Lu Dashan couldn't wait to click and start reading 'Peacock Feather.'

...

There are over 360 types of hidden weapons in the world, but the most successful and terrifying hidden weapon is the Peacock Feather.

From the outside, the Peacock Feather is a shiny, golden cylinder with two hinges. The hidden weapon inside is shot out, and it is said that when these hidden weapons are released, they are as beautiful as a peacock spreading its feathers, brilliant and dazzling. However, just as you are mesmerized by this astonishing beauty, it will take your life.

The Peacock Feather was created by the owner of Peacock Manor, who spent his entire life's effort on it.

At that time, 36 invincible black path experts formed a blood alliance to destroy Peacock Manor and launched a joint attack. In the end, they all died under the Peacock Feather. Since then, the Peacock Feather has become famous throughout the world. In the following 300 years, nearly 300 people have died from the Peacock Feather. They were either top masters or supreme experts, all killed for invading Peacock Manor.

...

The 'Eternal Life Sword' seems to be about a sword, but it is actually about the power of a smile.

And 'Peacock Feather,' this work seems to be about a hidden weapon, but it is actually about the power of confidence.

In the book, Gao Li borrowed the Peacock Feather from his friend Qiu Fengwu, and with full confidence, he killed a powerful enemy, only to find that the Peacock Feather was already lost.

Qiu Fengwu then told him that the Peacock Feather had long been gone, and what he lent to Gao Li was "confidence." The confidence brought by the so-called "Peacock Feather" was what allowed Gao Li to defeat the powerful enemy.

"The true victory is not achieved by weapons, but by your confidence. No matter how terrifying the weapon, it cannot compare to human confidence."

This is the message 'Peacock Feather' conveys to the readers.

Lu Dashan almost read the entire story of 'Peacock Feather' in one breath. After finishing, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his chest. The ingeniously designed plot and endless twists made him deeply immersed in it, just like an ordinary reader.

A classic work that is not inferior to 'Eternal Life Sword'!

The author's skill in designing dialogues and creating atmosphere is simply breathtaking!

Even, Lu Dashan was thinking...

If these two works were published in 'Hero Magazine,' they might even save the magazine's extremely low circulation!

"Contact the author! Quickly contact the author, we must publish these two novels. This could be the last hope for 'Hero Magazine'!" Thinking of this, Lu Dashan immediately flipped to the signature on the email, his eyes shining.

But when he saw the author's name at the end of the work, his gaze suddenly froze, and a sense of absurdity appeared in his heart—

Luoyang!

The author of these two extremely classic works is actually called Luoyang?

Is it a coincidence? Could this author have the same name as his precious nephew? Or was his eyesight playing tricks on him?

Lu Dashan rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. The author's name still clearly read "Luoyang."

This extremely dramatic moment made Lu Dashan start to doubt whether he was dreaming. Could it be... these two extremely classic short martial arts stories were actually written by his nephew who is still in college?

After all, the probability of such a coincidental name is extremely low!

"Actually, I came today for another reason..."

"What is it?"

"To submit a manuscript."

The conversation from that day echoed in Lu Dashan's ears. Looking at the signature in front of him, both aspects were perfectly confirmed. Lu Dashan was almost certain that this Luoyang was his nephew!

He immediately took out his phone and called Luoyang.

The call was quickly connected, and on the other end, Luoyang's voice, tinged with a smile, immediately came through: "Uncle, did you call me because you saw the two novels I sent you?"

Lu Dashan was stunned and then shocked: "Luoyang, these... these two novels... could they really be written by you?"

"Did Uncle think someone else had the same name as me?" Luoyang said calmly, as if he had already predicted that Uncle would call him as soon as he saw the signature.

Lu Dashan was speechless. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, hearing his nephew's direct admission still left him feeling dazed. He had never known that his nephew, who was still in college, possessed such astonishing talent!

At this moment, Lu Dashan's face was complex, and many thoughts ran through his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Dashan's voice suddenly became low, and he said, "Luoyang, I am rejecting your two works."

"What!" Luoyang's voice on the other end suddenly rose, with a hint of suspicion: "Uncle, are these two novels not good enough?"

"Not that they're not good enough..."

Lu Dashan smiled bitterly, his voice tinged with relief: "They are too good. How can such classic novels be considered not good enough? To be honest, Uncle is very moved. But..."

Lu Dashan shook his head: "Your two novels shouldn't be buried in a small magazine like 'Hero Magazine.' Our small publishing house will be closing down in a month at most..."

"Uncle can't hold you back. You should publish these two novels on a larger platform, where they can better realize their value!"

The circulation of 'Hero Magazine' is extremely low. No matter how good the novels, they are destined to be buried in 'Hero Magazine.' It would be a great pity if such classic works were buried.

Not to mention, these two works are by his precious nephew.

No matter how selfish he was, Lu Dashan couldn't hold back his nephew's future. So even though he knew these two works might save the circulation of 'Hero Magazine,' he didn't dare to use his nephew's works to take a risk!

If it failed... his nephew's two classic works might also be buried with 'Hero Magazine.'

So Lu Dashan didn't dare to take the risk. If it failed, he would be the one who held back his nephew, and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

On the other end of the phone, Luoyang fell silent for a moment and then suddenly laughed.

"Uncle, I know you're doing this for me, but I can clearly tell you that I can write many more novels at the level of 'Eternal Life Sword' and 'Peacock Feather.' Even if they fail, it won't be any loss to me! As long as I'm willing to write, creating even more classic works is not difficult for me!"
