Chapter 3

Standing at one eighty-three centimeters tall, with a face that exuded three parts rebelliousness, seven parts masculinity, and ninety parts charm.

This was Li Xing's appearance after he had crossed over.

His good looks immediately caught the attention of the five mentors, and Mo Shan praised him directly:

"Great physical appearance."

Although martial stars were different from other celebrities and didn't have such high standards for looks, in cases where martial arts skills were similar, a martial star with outstanding looks would have higher popularity, and the dreams they entered would attract more viewers.

There was no way around it; in a world that valued looks, reality was just that harsh.

"Yun Qing, he's still your junior!"

Jiang Meiqi suddenly pointed at the large screen below and said.

When each contestant stepped on stage, the large screen would display some basic personal information. For Li Xing, it showed:

Li Xing.

19 years old.

Student in the Boxing Department, first year, at Kyoto Martial Star University.

Liu Yunqing looked at the screen and nodded, "Yes."

She was also a student at Kyoto Martial Star University, in the Martial Arts Creation Department, and was currently a senior, not yet graduated.

Actually, the first season of the Creation Camp only had four mentors, each responsible for light skills, hidden weapons, boxing, and weapons, with no mentor for martial arts creation. This season, because of Liu Yunqing's addition, the production team specially added the position of Martial Arts Creation Mentor.

The reason for this was that Liu Yunqing was a well-known talented woman in the industry. She had already released over a dozen martial arts techniques before graduating from college, including an internal skill called 'Morning Light Decision' which had over ten million downloads, ranking third in this year's internal skill download list. This made her famous and earned her the nickname 'Morning Light,' symbolizing that her talent could bring light and hope to the entire martial world!

Among the five mentors present, the status of the King Yan Hailong was naturally the highest. After him, it was Liu Yunqing. Although she and the other three were all top-tier martial stars, a martial star who could create martial arts was naturally a level higher than ordinary martial stars. Therefore, when Liu Yunqing spoke, the other four mentors all turned to look at her.

Liu Yunqing was slightly nervous. Although she was already at the level of a top-tier martial star, her main achievements were from releasing martial arts techniques, and she spent most of her time studying at school, rarely appearing in public. This was her first time participating in a variety show, so she was inevitably a bit uncomfortable.

"Do you know him?"

Jiang Meiqi took the initiative to start a conversation.

Liu Yunqing shook her head, "No."

Jiang Meiqi smiled, "But he definitely knows you."

As a recognized beauty and talented woman at Kyoto Martial Star University, it was unlikely that any student there wouldn't know Liu Yunqing.

Liu Yunqing smiled a bit awkwardly.

"Hey, he's choosing an old contestant!"

Mo Shan suddenly shouted.

His words made the mentors turn their attention back to the stage, and they indeed saw Li Xing holding his nameplate in front of a group of old contestants' nameplates, apparently about to choose one.

"Wow, this is getting interesting!"

Mo Shan rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Who do you think he'll choose?"

"It definitely won't be Wang Xin, Jiang Yunpeng, or Su Yu."

Mo Shan's side, the 'White Asura' He Qiming, who had dyed his hair white, suddenly spoke, very confidently.

The people he mentioned were all from the top 16 of the previous season, and they had all narrowly lost to their opponents. Their strength could be considered the strongest among all the old contestants. Even if the new contestants were very confident in their own abilities, there was no need to choose to face these strong opponents in the first round.

"Wow—"

As soon as He Qiming finished speaking, the audience erupted in exclamations.

Because Li Xing had placed his nameplate under Wang Xin's!

Wang Xin, ranked 12th in the previous season, lost to the champion Liang Feiyu in the 16 to 8 round.

Many people thought Wang Xin was just unlucky, and if not, he might have had a chance to debut in the previous season. Therefore, if you were to list the contestants that the new contestants least wanted to face this season, Wang Xin would definitely be at the top of the list!

"Haha, got it wrong, didn't you!"

Mo Shan looked at He Qiming and mocked him.

The two were good friends, so He Qiming didn't mind. He looked at Li Xing below and smiled, shaking his head, "Are young people these days all so bold?"

"Wow, just as expected of someone from Kyoto Martial Star University."

Jiang Meiqi turned to Liu Yunqing and smiled, subtly flattering her.

Liu Yunqing's beautiful eyes sparkled, but she was a bit worried about this junior: "I hope he's not just acting on impulse."

At this moment, the host specially kept Li Xing on stage and asked, "Li Xing, can you tell us why you chose Wang Xin?"

Li Xing looked up at the camera and smiled, a smile that could make 99% of women swoon: "Because I think this opponent is just right."

"Wow—"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience erupted in cheers, and the camera quickly cut to Wang Xin, who was sitting in the left half of the audience.

Wang Xin had a stern face and sneered.

"Do you have confidence that you can defeat Wang Xin?"

The host continued to stir things up, asking Li Xing beside him.

Li Xing said calmly, "Of course."

"Wow—"

The audience erupted in exclamations again.

"Go find his information and show it to me again."

At this moment, in the director's booth opposite the host, the chief director of the Creation Camp, Liu Na, said to the staff beside her.

Liu Na was dressed in a black business suit, her long, slender legs wrapped in sexy black stockings, her hair tied up high, looking like a ripe red apple, extremely alluring.

She had reviewed the information of all 100 contestants this season. The reason she chose to give Li Xing a spot instead of some other students from Kyoto Martial Star University with higher martial arts cultivation was because Li Xing's appearance had moved her.

A talent show always needed a few good-looking 'ornaments' to please the eye, and in Liu Na's view, Li Xing was there to be an ornament. However, she didn't expect him to choose Wang Xin as his opponent.

"Did I misjudge him?"

Liu Na became interested. Li Xing's confident attitude had somewhat moved her.

She liked confident men.

"I hope you're not just all talk."

Liu Na looked at Li Xing's handsome face and pursed her red lips, thinking.

...

After Li Xing left the stage, the draw continued.

He had just returned to his seat, and his butt hadn't even settled when his phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message:

"Are you crazy, choosing Wang Xin?!"

Li Xing saw the sender—it was his girlfriend, Ning Xiaonin.

Yes, the original body not only left Li Xing a good-looking appearance but also a girlfriend who was a campus beauty.

It was... quite exciting.

Ning Xiaonin was Li Xing's high school classmate. From the first day of high school, she had been madly pursuing him. It wasn't until their senior year that Li Xing finally gave in to this little rich girl.

— "The Love Story of a Rich Girl and Me"

The two of them both got into Kyoto Martial Star University and became classmates again.

Perhaps due to her family's influence, Ning Xiaonin had been very independent since childhood and had a very clear plan for her future. She had already planned out her four years of college in her freshman year and had also helped Li Xing with his plans.

The "Martial Star Creation Camp" was something Ning Xiaonin had recommended Li Xing to join, and she had even used her family's connections to get the personal information of all the contestants in this season in advance, as well as the rules for the first few rounds.

Before entering the camp, Ning Xiaonin had helped Li Xing select seven or eight suitable opponents from the 100 contestants. According to the 'strategy' they had discussed, Li Xing should have chosen one of these seven or eight as his first-round opponent. However, Li Xing didn't follow the 'script,' so Ning Xiaonin, who was watching the live broadcast, sent a WeChat message.

Li Xing looked at the couple's profile picture on the WeChat interface, feeling a bit uncomfortable. After all, before crossing over, he had been single for 28 years and was a speed-typing master with over 20,000 characters per day.

"How about it, surprised?"

He, who had almost become a social butterfly, quickly adapted and replied.

"I'm not surprised at all, Li Xing, are you trying to kill me?!!!"

Ning Xiaonin was furious. She had put a lot of effort into her boyfriend's debut, as it was a crucial step in her plan that would directly affect their development over the next few years. Now, Li Xing had disrupted all her plans.

Seeing this, Li Xing stopped teasing her and quickly typed, "Don't worry, I'm not acting recklessly. I really have the confidence."
