Martial Hero Rebirth

“Great Teacher! Mount Hua sent us an invitation to the “Discussion of Swords,” a meeting of large and renowned sects. Should we accept it?”

“«“Must,” what an appropriate word,” sighed the Master of Wudang Mountain. “Shaolin has been destroyed, now the Five Mountain Swords rule over the entire fist world. For thousands of years we were satisfied with the position of the latter; no one forced our school to leave the shadow. Alas, a new era has fallen on the shoulders of our generation. The Discussion of Swords is supposedly convened to elect the leader of the fist world, but what is there to choose? Who won't support the Sword God now??”

“Are you saying they have some kind of hidden agenda??”

“Yes. I think, in order not to become an enemy to the whole world, they plan to somehow divide the territories between all the worthy ones. I just don’t understand how exactly. But what the Sword God has already done is already amazing. Clans that sought power by hook or by crook are now forced to participate in competitions to maintain their position. And if they are not ready to accept defeat, then they are expelled from the country.”

The Great Teacher shook his head and sighed again:

“Terrible system. No tribute to ancestors and traditions. But at the same time, no one else dies in the struggle for power. The righteous path became stronger in three years than it had been hundreds of years before. Previously, it was possible to poison the offender, or attack on the sly. Now they have to train hard in martial arts to win the competition in four years.”

“It’s somehow strange,” said the student, scratching the back of his head..

“Ha ha ha, yes. Yes. This system seems completely out of our world. Fight for your home, but be afraid to shed blood? Kill a rival who has encroached on yours, and be expelled from your native lands for this? Essentially, everything remains the same. As people fought for power, so they will fight. Everything is just... more beautiful now. They perverted the old rules, turned them inside out, and called them a new order. And whoever wants to butt heads - so always welcome.”

He stood up and continued:

“And we will butt heads, otherwise we will follow Shaolin. And we will obey. And compete by someone else's rules. And rejoice that thanks to the Five Mountain Swords, the fist arts will also enter a new era. In just these ten years they have found more geniuses than in the last century. Isn’t it good that our path goes to those who have talent for it, and not pedigree? How many supreme experts will be born in the world in fifty years? Maybe the perfect ones will appear?”

“Then... who do we send?”

“So we’ll send me, who else? I will personally go and defend the interests of my sect! Udan lasted so long because our Great Teachers always understood where this world was heading. And now we must understand that whatever sect becomes the leader, it will not interfere with those who support it. The roof does not break its supports.”

The student bowed low and said:

“I understand, Teacher. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.!”

Wudang Mountain openly stated that it accepts the invitation of the Five Mountain Swords, and Great Teacher will go to the Sword Discussion in person.

The news spread quickly. The other two major factions, Emei and Qingcheng, also immediately announced that they would send their masters.

Not only Mount Wudang understood what was happening. The other two major factions were also not led by fools. The Five Mountain Swords are now the first sect in the world, they have no competitors. The future is theirs.

The open topic of the meeting was the election of a leader of the righteous path, but almost everyone understood that a redistribution of the resources of the fist world was beginning.

In this clash of interests, the strongest will become even stronger, and the weakest will again have to put up with their will. Therefore, each of the sects sent its best people - masters, as a rule.

Soon after, one rumor spread, backed by many throats, that only experts at the peak of first class and above were allowed to take part in the meeting. But even the semi-supreme were mere spectators, the real discussion was conducted exclusively between the supreme experts!

The discussion of this meeting soon completely eclipsed the fall of Shaolin, and no one remembered the burned monastery. Everyone was only thinking about how the world would change after the Discussion.

And the closer the appointed day was, the more people understood why it was actually convened.

Too many sects have disappeared since the beginning of the war, too many territories have been occupied by those who are unable to protect them. Especially with the fall of Shaolin. Therefore, the righteous path urgently needed to divide the spoils among everyone before anyone did so by force.

However, this did not concern ordinary people, as well as people from small sects. For them, the most important thing was to counterattack the evil cults. Some were thinking about safety for themselves and their children, others were thinking about how much loot they could take from enemy treasuries..

Although among them there were plenty of people discussing who would now be in charge, to whom it was time to offer slippers and give gifts. Competitions for cities promised to begin at any moment and those who react first would receive the most benefits.

.˙.

Time passed quickly amid the conversations and excitement, the Discussion of Swords began right on time.

At the Huashan Gate, first the leaders of the major sects, then the renowned ones, were greeted one after another. But the arrival of only the supreme ones was announced - the Great Teacher of Mount Wudang, Masters Emei and Qingcheng, Tang Xiao, Yang Xifeng, Ye Dong. The rest were admitted by invitation and taken to their seats in silence..

This time, unlike last time, three years ago, only a thousand people gathered at Hua Peak. But this thousand was the very juice of talent and genius of the righteous path.

You could say they controlled all of the Central Plains. Their words and actions dictated the decisions of everyone else in the world.

Everyone was excited, only Great Teacher Wudang had complete control over their emotions. He was and remained one of the four strongest, so he had no doubt that he could maintain the interests of his sect. In the end, all he wanted was to remain in second place.

After everyone was invited, the man in purple, step by step, began to walk towards them through the air..

Many fell to their knees, others simply hugged their fists with their palms and shouted in one voice.:

“Long live Master Lin!”

“Long live Master Lin!”

“Long live Master Lin!”

He landed softly on the podium, the nine people standing there immediately knelt down and repeated the same words in one voice:

“Long live the Master of the Five Mountain Swords!”

These were the four masters and five chief disciples of the Alliance.

Lin Yi nodded, feeling pleasure and pride from the hope and faith with which everyone looked at him.

Every disciple of the Five Mountain Swords deservedly felt pride in their sect. They endured many battles and stood on the brink of death more than once to achieve what they had today.

And it was not for nothing that they were proud of Lin Yi - the one who put in more effort and blood than anyone else.

From this day forward, the Five Mountain Swords are the first sect of the righteous path.!

Looking over the more than a thousand people at the podium, Lin Yi said:

“Welcome to all heroes and heroines of the righteous path, and congratulations on your participation in the Swords Discussion. Why? Well, each of the sects gathered at the top of Mount Hua today are widely known in the righteous path and have earned the right to participate through centuries of perseverance! From now on, our meeting, as the name says, will become a martial arts tournament!”

The crowd applauded, he raised his hand and continued:

“The purpose of the Discussion of Swords is twofold. First: as I said earlier, this is the unification of the righteous path under a common goal and the election of a leader who will lead everyone. Second: it seems to me that even before the attack of demons, the righteous path was in chaos and conflicts of interest prevented true unification. It was because of them that the demons were able to invade our lands and bring us such heavy losses. Even the centuries-old sects - what’s up, Shaolin itself could not withstand their onslaught! And all because there were no rules to deal with such situations! Their creation is the main goal of today's meeting! I propose to hold a big competition and use it to determine the strength and rank of each sect! Let's bring righteousness back to our path together!”

As soon as he finished and lowered his hand, the top of the mountain was deafened by applause, loud screams were heard here and there:

“Master Lin must become the leader of the Alliance!”

“Master Lin in the lead!”

“We will follow Master Lin to the ends of the earth!”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, raised his hand again and said:

“The strongest will become the leader. I will also take part in the competition and let our swords choose the leader of the righteous path!”

People cheered joyfully - although everyone understood who would emerge victorious, hope nourished the young blood. Countless people at the top of the mountain became excited, everyone wanted to know how strong they were. Little-known sects finally have a chance to come to light!

Without delaying anyone else, Lin Yi announced the start of the competition.
