Chapter 2043, page 2.41: Have you heard of future warriors?

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoqing also followed Jane Jones, the defeated lead actress of "Bloodstained Lady," to her destination.

A small campsite assembled from multiple container trailers.

Just as Wu Chen had imagined, female fighters from the same time and space gathered together, stubbornly continuing their respective storylines.

"Jane, don't be discouraged. There's always a way." Before Chen Xiaoqing could get close, the Vortex Armor overheard the female fighters' conversation.

“That’s right, Jane. Finding a way out of here won’t be something that can be done overnight.”

The ones who comforted Jane Jones, the female fighter who had just been defeated, were Master Wei from the Shaolin School and Master Shu from the Wudang School, both from the same original storyline.

Five years ago in Hong Kong, Wei from the Shaolin school and Shu from the Wudang school fought fiercely for a day in the 434th Kumite Fighting Championship, with neither side gaining a clear victory. The judges decided to allow each of them to train a fighter to represent them in a rematch. Five years later in Pittsburgh, American teenager Jane Jones, unemployed, decides to travel to Hong Kong to participate in a Kumite Fighting Championship to win prize money and investigate her missing father. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, she is robbed by a group of thugs but is rescued by Shu. Shu takes Jane back to her Wudang temple and teaches her the true essence of Chinese Kung Fu and martial arts, helping her participate in the 435th Kumite Fighting Championship. Meanwhile, Wei, who runs a Shaolin martial arts school, discovers the martial arts talent of a homeless girl named Zhou Ling and decides to train her to represent him. The competition gathers female martial arts masters from all over the world. After fierce competition, Jane Jones and Zhou Ling fight their way through the rounds to reach the finals. On the day of the final battle, Jane, severely injured, pulls off a comeback victory and exposes the true murderer of her father…

To be fair, the plot of *Bloodstained Lady* is actually quite simple. The ending is a happy one. However, the players bundled them up and sent them to the Fulong Temple Tower, eventually arriving at a survivor camp at the bottom of a Mayan pyramid. They make a living by participating in octagonal cage battles. As the adventure deepens, the female fighters gain a clearer understanding of their situation and their goals. That's right, to escape this ruthless, man-eating abyss alive.

"Excuse me, everyone." Chen Xiaoqing used dialogue to advance the plot.

"Who are you?" Pulling up the side shutter door, the female fighters cautiously stepped out of the small camp.

"I am a traveler just like you." With that, Chen Xiaoqing assumed a martial arts starting stance.

"The 'Subduing Dragon and Elephant Skill' of the Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts." Master Wei, who came from the Shaolin School, could not have made a mistake. The 'Subduing Dragon and Elephant Skill' has powerful internal energy and can unleash the Buddhist Lion's Roar. The Arhat Hall specializes in studying this skill.

"Exactly." In the world of mural painting, it's common for courtesans to practice martial arts. Even if one can't experience it firsthand, with Wu Chen's oral instruction, it's perfectly fine to put on a show.

"So we're kindred spirits." Master Wei's heart stirred, and he immediately devised a plan: "Please come a step further to talk."

"Thank you," Chen Xiaoqing said gladly.

Stepping into the small camp, one sees a central courtyard for training, formed by a "回"-shaped open space surrounded by container trailers and supported by a high waterproof tarpaulin. Even in such a treacherous environment, the female fighters have not interrupted their training.

After everyone took their seats in the courtyard, before Master Wei could speak, Chen Xiaoqing took out a mysterious scroll from under his cloak.

As you slowly unfold half of the scroll, the "Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts" come into view.

"The Shaolin martial arts have been lost for a long time..." Master Wei's expression said it all.

Without rushing to answer, Chen Xiaoqing took out a mysterious scroll from under his cloak.

As you slowly unfold half of it, the "Thirty-Six Ultimate Skills of Wudang" come into view.

Master Shu of the Wudang School immediately adopted the same expression as Master Wei of the Shaolin School.

These are all unique, unparalleled copies of unparalleled martial arts techniques that were just 3D printed!

"The saying goes, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew'..." Before Master Shu of the Wudang Sect could finish his polite words, his eyes widened in astonishment. Indeed, Chen Xiaoqing had presented a vibrant, radiant Seven Treasures Lotus Flower.

In fact, for these characters in the story who haven't been tainted by evil energy and haven't degenerated into "neither human nor demon," the cultivation method of "Minor Rejuvenation Pill (Gathering Qi) → Marrow Cleansing Pill (Expanding Capacity) → Major Rejuvenation Pill (Replenishing) → Returning to Origin Pill (Unblocking)" is the most suitable path for ordinary human martial artists to advance. However, these elixirs must be obtained from the Painted Wall Realm. At this moment, all they carry is this Seven Treasures Lotus Flower.

"Everyone, what do you say now?" Chen Xiaoqing smiled charmingly. The Seven Treasures Lotus, brimming with spiritual energy, was clearly convincing enough.

"Tell me first, what do you want?" the two masters asked in unison. As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason. And there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Please join us, everyone." Chen Xiaoqing said without any politeness.

"What do we do after joining?" Master Shu of Wudang asked first.

"Let's take down the big boss first." Chen Xiaoqing didn't hide anything.

"Then, who is the big boss?" Master Wei of Shaolin asked first.

“‘Death’s mistress,’ the ancient vampire queen Santanico Pandemoni,” Chen Xiaoqing said, making a startling statement.

"To be honest, we knew it was her all along." The two masters said this without any change in expression: "But only strong men can reach the top and be lucky enough to be chosen by her in the nightclub. Women and the weak have no chance at all."

"Agreed." Chen Xiaoqing nodded readily: "So we need to master unparalleled martial arts first."

"..." For female fighters, this reason is 100% convincing.

"To kill the Vampire Queen, we must first eliminate her 14 ancient vampire maidens. According to rumors circulating in the camp, they are all pure-blooded vampires born that way." Master Shu of Wudang revealed all the information he had gathered: "They disguise themselves as strippers and waitresses in nightclubs..."

Strippers: Michelle Berube, Neena Bidasha, Veena Bidasha, Ungela Brockman, Madison Clark, María Díaz, Rosalia Hayakawa, Janine Jordae, Jacque Lawson, Houston Leigh, Janie Liszewski, Tia Texada, Annette Harper.

Bar hostess: Spice Williams-Crosby.

Fourteen ancient vampire maidens, besides hunting men, are also responsible for running the nightclub. They are the most capable assistants of the ancient vampire queen Santanico Pandemoni, and can be considered her right-hand women.

As for the male vampires in the nightclub, including the entire rock band, they were all puppets created later. They could be easily killed by common anti-vampire weapons without even needing silver bullets. This was indeed the original storyline. Tables, chairs, sunlight, and holy water were all enough to slaughter this group of vampires.

"Wait... 14 purebred ancient vampires." After hearing the female fighters' backstory, Wu Chen seemed to realize something: "It seems the plot is not simple."

“It’s too late to practice now.” Jane Jones, the female lead in Bloodstained Lady, brought everyone back to reality with these words.

Chen Xiaoqing nodded slightly, which was the answer she expected: "That's right, but there's a compromise."

"What can we do?" the female fighters present responded in unison. They wouldn't give up easily, prepared to fight like cornered beasts, as long as there was even the slightest possibility.

"No." Chen Xiaoqing unfastened his cloak, revealing the Vortex Fox transforming armor that surpassed the technological limits of the entire timeline: "Have you ever heard of future warriors?"

"..." Even the female fighters who were sent into this melting pot early on were so shocked by the unexpected plot that their brains went blank for a moment.
