The broadcast announcement left the martial artists attending the Martial Arts Tournament astonished and at a loss.
In previous years, the Martial Arts Tournament's ratings had been very low.
In the end, the organizers added a pre-match trash-talking segment.
The competitors had three minutes on the ring to trade insults.
The insult-trading segment was the most popular and had the highest ratings.
Moreover, many of the more spectacular verbal battles were edited and uploaded online.
Especially those who cursed fiercely, only to get beaten miserably in the end—cut together, it made for highly dramatic entertainment.
And now... "Speak civilly, foster new values." Fighting and cursing were forbidden.
Did they no longer want ratings?
Which leader had gotten their head caught in a door, coming up with one ridiculous idea after another?
"Huh? This world has gotten way too surreal lately." Xing Yu could not help complaining.
Recently, all sorts of strange things had been happening in Qin Yuan Country.
There were rumors of Spiritual Qi revival, sword immortals wiping out military camps with a single strike, and then the voting incident. In any case, things were becoming increasingly chaotic.
Compared to all that, this "speak civilly, foster new values" rule did not seem so outrageous.
"Since those are the rules, we can only abide by them. Who told us we lack the strength to break the rules?" Wang Shi Qiao, who had remained silent, finally spoke, secretly glancing at Qi Yuan in the distance.
Qi Yuan also said at that moment, "I actually think the authorities' request is quite humane.
If everyone spoke civilly, how many disputes would this world avoid? The world would welcome love and peace as well."
Qi Yuan was speaking from the heart.
If everyone spoke civilly, why would he need to wipe out entire households
