Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

Everyone present, except for Fei Xiao and Su Chang, was stunned.

"what's the situation?"

"I only took one sip of the Fairy Happiness Tea, and the fight was over?"

Amidst the silence punctuated by scattered skepticism, the host's voice rang out:

Congratulations to Lin Yuan on your victory!

In this match, Lin Yuan only needed five seconds!!!

My goodness, this scene reminds me of my classmate Su Chang two days ago, both of them ended the game in an instant!

Moreover, Lin Yuan took even less time than Su Chang!

Only after hearing the host declare him the winner did Lin Yuan remove the knife from A-Jie's neck and put it back in its sheath.

He said politely, "I'm sorry, I offended you earlier..."

Ah Jie sheathed his sword and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing. I did lose. I was simply outmatched. There's nothing more to say."

If I were on the battlefield, my head would probably have been chopped off already.

Your combat experience and speed are faster than I expected.

No wonder he is that person's student.

"At first I didn't believe that my fellow Cloud Cavalry comrades in the army had been defeated by you, but now I am completely convinced."

Lin Yuan nodded, showing him the respect he deserved: "You still have one more revival round. I hope you'll try your best again."

After saying that, he jumped off the field and high-fived Su Chang below.

"That was a beautiful win!" Su Chang exclaimed excitedly. "Next time, I'm going to use 'You've already lost' as my victory line."

"You truly live up to your reputation as my junior brother." Fei Xiao helped him take the Cloud Cavalry Sword with satisfaction. "You're already showing some of the demeanor of your senior sister and teacher."

When the audience saw Su Chang, there was another uproar.

"So these two people know each other."

What happened to your kidneys?

"So, this is a group of elementary school students coming to the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony to break the speedrun record?"

"It's so scary."

Are elementary school students these days really this scary?

The three of them ignored the noise and rushed off to eat.

"Senior sister, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Since the teacher isn't coming back for dinner, let's go out to eat, the three of us."

"Then let's go to another store. The owner needs to be mentally strong enough."

Su Chang asked, puzzled, "Why is eating related to the boss's psychological endurance?"

"Last time, my senior sister ate fifty steamed buns and almost scared the boss to death. I was even planning to sign her up for the 1,120th Eating Contest at Yaoqing."

Upon hearing this, Su Chang asked eagerly, "Really? Sister Fei Xiao, how do you maintain your figure?"

"Exercise more, eat more, eat fewer snacks and sleep more."

"Um, is there an easier way?"

"Yes, in my dreams too."

-----------------

"Congratulations to Lin Yuan for winning and advancing to the top 64!"

……

"Lin Yuan still won, which is really not surprising!"

……

"Lin Yuan actually encountered a formidable opponent, but he still managed to win. Let's congratulate him!"

……

"Round of 16! He did it again!"

……

Congratulations to Lin Yuan on successfully advancing to the quarterfinals!

……

With each victory, Lin Yuan's triumphs were no longer as easy as they had been at the beginning.

Many young men and women from all over the world also have extremely high talents and have come to participate in this Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony.

It took a lot of effort to beat them.

Of course, during this process, he encountered Bei Bai, who was eliminated in the first match.

A year ago, he blocked his path with Su Chang; a year later, he and Su Chang blocked his path to advancement.

Lin Yuan laughed, "What a small world!" He said, "Bei Bai, congratulations on winning the revival match."

However, your championship dream ends here.

Then, with a single slash, he sent Bei Bai flying before he could even speak.

At that moment, Lin Yuan seemed to hear the sound of something shattering a second time.

The famous Agent Zero, Corettier, once said: Who cares?

Lin Yuan doesn't care anyway.

In the end, he won all the points matches without any major incidents, and successfully advanced to the final.

But at the same time, news about Lin Yuan began to be gradually unearthed.

"You're neither a fox-person nor a Vidyadhara, but a short-lived species, Lin Yuan! You're actually a short-lived human!"

After Lin Yuan was scratched, the contestant noticed that his wound did not heal immediately like many other Xianzhou people, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Lin Yuan remained unmoved, letting the blood slowly stain his sleeves: "So what? You still lost!"

What's even more talked about is that people have also learned that Lin Yuan is General Yue Yu's student.

"It's quite surprising that General Yueyu actually took in a short-lived species."

Many people immediately said they were unfollowing him.

"I was quite envious at first, but now I feel like it's just so-so. A short-lived species like humans lives for less than a hundred years. What kind of waves can they make?"

"I heard that they were foreigners adopted by the general during the war."

"Ha, he'll die in a few years, oh well."

"I really can't understand why General Yueyu would choose such a short-lived species."

"It doesn't matter. I can surpass him in five hundred years, and by then he will have been dead for four hundred years."

"Your voice seems a bit too shrill; be careful that the general's beloved disciple doesn't hear it."

-----------------

The night before the final

Lin Yuan looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and fell silent.

"Yuan'er, what are you thinking about?" Yue Yu sat down next to him.

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Teacher, they say I'm a short-lived species, destined to be unable to do anything."

Yue Yu gently embraced him and asked lovingly, "Yuan'er, what do you think is the difference between short-lived and long-lived species?"

Lin Yuan was stumped by the question; it was still too heavy a question for him after eight years of life.

"Time? Lifespan? I don't know, teacher, I don't know how to answer..."

Yue Yu said quietly, "The difference? There's no difference."

Fox-people only last three hundred years, while the Celestial Race will develop a demonic form after seven hundred years, and the Vidyadhara Race will also be reborn through egg transformation.

As for your senior sister... she has a lunar mania. It's hard to say whether she'll even survive for a hundred years, let alone three hundred.

Do you really think that having a long lifespan is a good thing?

Why would the Celestial Race, who are theoretically able to live indefinitely, possess a demonic body?

You've already seen those afflicted by demonic possession, haven't you? They are indeed still alive, but they are already dead.

Lin Yuan nodded. Even when walking through the streets and alleys of Yaoqing, one would occasionally encounter people with demonic bodies, their bodies covered in countless golden ginkgo leaves. After going mad, they would be sent to the Ten Kings Division by the Cloud Cavalry.

He replied by quoting the "Declaration of the Immortal Boat Alliance" that Yue Yu had once taught him:

"He was afflicted by demonic possession and lost all sense of morality and ethics."

"To establish ten royal courts, so that the dignity and sacred rights of all people may be equally respected."

"Do you know what General Yaoqing's average lifespan is?"

Lin Yuan: "No more than seventy years."

Yue Yu patted his head and said earnestly, "Well, almost all of General Yao Qing have sacrificed themselves on the battlefield against Feng Rao."

For the past seventy years, they haven't discussed whether a general is a long-lived or short-lived species; they've focused more on what he did, what achievements he led the alliance to, and how many bountiful creatures he killed.

If you achieve enough victories, you can suppress all dissent.

What I want to tell you is that longevity is a blessing, but also a curse—a curse from the ancestral plague of longevity. You don't need to envy it.

My Yuan'er, you don't need to worry about the demonic body. This is the greatest happiness for the people of the Immortal Ship, and something they long for but can never obtain.

Life is not measured by its length, but by its quality.

Living a long life does not guarantee great achievements.

Lin Yuan nodded solemnly: "I understand. Teacher, I will prove myself with my own abilities."

Yueyu hugged Lin Yuan even tighter, as if afraid something had happened to him:

"Yuan'er, remember, no matter what the future holds, you and Xiao'er will always be my most beloved children."

I love you all."

Lin Yuan whispered, "I will definitely defeat the company's heir in tomorrow's match."

Afterwards...

"Teacher Yueyu, I want to become the arrowhead of the Imperial Bow Master to fight against the Plague Ancestor, severing all abundance!"
