Chapter 10

"Murder Sword?"

When Jiang Meiqi announced the next round's test, the contestants were all taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Meiqi, nicknamed 'Peacock Sword,' it was not surprising that her test was related to sword techniques. However, the fact that a beautiful and delicate woman like her was testing them on a 'Murder Sword' still left everyone somewhat surprised.

Regardless, the test had been announced, and the next step was to practice in groups. This process would not be live-streamed but would be recorded and edited into videos to be posted online.

"Alright, then I declare the first episode of the second season of 'Wu Xing Creation Camp' is over!"

The host said the closing remarks, and the cameraman gave the okay sign.

Everyone relaxed, and the five mentors stood up and left, while the contestants had to stay and wait for further arrangements.

Although the next live broadcast was in seven days, all contestants had to undergo closed recording during this period, staying and training in the building.

A few minutes later, staff members led Li Xing and others to their respective dormitories.

The production team had prepared six sets of dormitories for the six teams. The conditions were not luxurious, but they were not bad either. Notably, each team's captain had a private room in the dormitory, which was a benefit of being the captain.

"I suggest we introduce ourselves again. It can help us get to know each other quickly, after all, we are teammates from now on."

This was not said by Li Xing, but by another person in his team.

Li Xing looked at the person with a half-smile, while Chen Youxing frowned slightly and turned to Li Xing: "You're the captain, what do you think?"

"Haha, what's the point of asking? It's just an introduction, Li Xing, do you have any objections?"

The person laughed and asked.

"Li Xing."

Before Li Xing could speak, a voice came from the door. A staff member had suddenly appeared.

"Please come with me, Director Liu wants to see you."

Li Xing was taken aback, then stood up and walked to the door.

"......"

The other nine team members watched as Li Xing left, and the person who had suggested the introductions looked awkward.

Director Liu, of course, was the show's chief director, Liu Na. Although no one knew why she wanted to see Li Xing alone, it was clearly a sign of importance, otherwise, why would she not see someone else?

"I think we should wait for Li Xing to come back before we introduce ourselves, after all, he is the captain."

Chen Youxing said, looking at someone.

"......"

No one objected.

......

"Director Liu."

In a room, Li Xing met the chief director, Liu Na.

"Sit down."

Liu Na, with her legs crossed, pointed to the sofa.

After Li Xing sat down, she continued: "I called you here to ask about the release of your Divine Agility Technique."

"Can it be released now?"

Li Xing was initially stunned, then stood up from the sofa.

Liu Na was somewhat surprised by Li Xing's excitement, as he had been so calm during the team selection. She smiled and waved her hand: "Don't be so excited. The martial art is your creation, so you can release it if you want."

It had to be said that the chief director was a very charming woman, her every smile and frown exuding the allure of a mature woman. Li Xing, of course, was not so easily flustered by a beautiful woman, but his heart was still racing, mainly due to the matter of releasing the martial art.

In Huaguo, all new martial arts could only be released on one platform, the officially controlled Wu Hun Platform, and the prices were strictly controlled.

The reason for this strict control was that, although this circle resembled the entertainment industry, it was not truly an entertainment industry. It involved life and death and the safety of countless people.

The entertainment industry model was adopted to better popularize and increase public enthusiasm, as nightmares continuously appeared, and no one knew when they would end.

If it were just once or twice, the entire nation would be willing to support and observe in the dream world. However, with new dreams appearing daily and the danger not immediately affecting everyone, more support was needed through subtle means, hence the creation of Wu Xing and the current entertainment-like industry.

However, in some key areas, the government would not allow capital to act recklessly, such as the release and pricing of martial arts.

All martial arts could only be released on the Wu Hun Platform, and everyone could only learn new martial arts from the Wu Hun Platform.

As for the prices, even the most extraordinary martial arts would have very low prices for the first three levels.

The government did this to encourage more people to try different martial arts.

No martial art suited everyone; some might only be suitable for specific groups. A person with average talent might become an expert if they found a martial art that suited them perfectly!

However, no one could predict these things, so more attempts were needed. Many aspiring Wu Xing were willing to try more, hoping to find a suitable martial art and achieve sudden fame. Such examples always existed.

Huaguo needed more martial arts experts, and the public needed a dream to aspire to, a win-win situation.

Even the creators of martial arts did not lose out, as with a large base of users, even with low prices, if many people bought, they could still make a fortune.

"Your Divine Agility Technique has received high praise from several mentors, especially Yan Hailong, who is very optimistic about your Divine Agility Technique."

Liu Na said, "So I think we should take advantage of this current popularity and release this lightness skill now. What do you think?"

Li Xing: "I agree, of course."

He had no more practice tokens and was in dire need of money, eager to release the Divine Agility Technique immediately.

Liu Na nodded: "Then there's one issue. Before you joined the camp, you signed an agreement. Any new martial arts demonstrated on the show, the production team would take a portion of the revenue after release."

Li Xing understood what Liu Na was talking about. He remembered the agreement, which stated that the production team would take half of the revenue from new martial arts demonstrated on the show.

He did not find this unfair, as he was using their platform to promote his martial art. If he did not join the show, how many people would know about his new martial art?

Of course, the agreement was valid for only two years, after which all revenue would belong to him.

Li Xing thought it was fair, but since the agreement clearly stated that the production team would take half of the revenue, Liu Na's visit to discuss it clearly indicated that she had thoughts on the revenue distribution.

"Director Liu, what percentage do you think is appropriate?"

Li Xing asked straightforwardly.

"Heh, you're quite direct."

Liu Na smiled at him.
