The sensation caused by the Lion's Roar Technique, the emperor of Yan's reflections / The powerful response to "To the Moon," Chen Qi being approached

Inside the screening room, a deep breath broke the silence, and Exusiai, after realizing what was happening, stood up almost immediately and told everyone about her "grand plan" at that moment!

"I think Exusiai, you'd better rest. Madam Wen Yue was already a master before she practiced Lion's Roar Technique. She didn't become powerful because of Lion 'Lion's Roar Technique; she only appeared powerful because she used Lion's Roar Technique."

Just as the Emperor finished his performance, he promptly poured cold water on Exusiai. In the blink of an eye, the Emperor's torn fur was visibly recovering. Although it looked uneven, at least he wasn't completely naked anymore.

"... That being said, how did Madam Wen Yue manage to master such a profound internal skill in just a few months? Could it be that there's some kind of affinity involved in cultivation techniques?"

"Perhaps this is talent." Faced with the Emperor's mutterings, Huai Tianpei, who had witnessed the power of Tai Chi and Lion's Roar Technique, suppressed his excitement. However, judging from his restless rubbing of his hands, he was eager to spar with the two masters.

Meanwhile, Waai Fu stared at the departing luxury car on the screen for a long time before snapping out of his daze and turning to Chongyue and Huai Tianpei to ask:

"But... is it really okay to just let them go? Aren't they bad people? Why not eliminate them completely now?"

" --Waai Fu, do you still remember Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Defect Tai He Shang Zhong had already lost the ability to resist, still tried to kill him completely?"

At this moment, it was not Chongyue who was instructing Waai Fu, but Huai Tianpei, who had always been very lenient in the matter of "education". Perhaps because this time it was related to "martial virtue", Huai Tianpei began to spare no effort in shaping his daughter's concept of martial virtue.

"Although some say that using martial arts is against the law, martial arts duels have always been about stopping short of killing the opponent. Even in a life-or-death duel where no one holds back, if it's possible to leave the opponent a way out, there's no need to use martial arts to kill them outright."

"Initially, when Madam Wen Yue took action, it was because she couldn't stand Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Defect killing. Now, their decision to spare the heinous Axe Gang leader reflects their martial virtue of repaying evil with kindness."

"When will this cycle of revenge end... Letting some people go might save many more. Even if we face retaliation, it's unlikely to be a vicious and cruel one."

"Martial virtue..."

However, Huai Tianpei's words kept echoing in Waai Fu's mind. Waai Fu kept repeating the word, and although he didn't quite understand it, a very bright light still appeared in his eyes.

As for the scene in the luxury car where Lee and A were "smoking, drinking, and getting their hair permed," that happened after Waai Fu had grasped the essence of the art. It didn't hinder Waai Fu's current improvement in martial arts skills, which is truly commendable.

Chapter 223: The Sensation Caused by the Lion's Roar Technique, and the Reflections of the Yan Emperor

"What?! It's so powerful?!"

"Yes, Zuo Le and Tai He both signed this report and sent us the relevant videos. I believe this matter is credible."

A few days later, in the Yan's palace, the Yan's emperor heard about Chen Qi's progress in filming at Lungmen. After learning that Wei Yenwu and his wife had already made their move and displayed the power of Tai Chi and Lion's Roar Technique, the Yan's emperor was slightly startled by the feedback he received from Zuo Le and Tai He.

The lightness of Tai Chi, as well as its techniques of deflecting and neutralizing force, surprised the Emperor of Yan, but its expressive power wasn't particularly impressive. However, the Lion's Roar Technique move truly allowed the Emperor of Yan to directly experience the power of the profound internal energy Chen Qi had given them!

The Great Yan Dynasty is not lacking in beings with immense destructive power. For example, some of the old Celestial Masters can achieve destructive power comparable to humanoid natural Catastrophe. They can easily part the clouds and change the celestial phenomena with a wave of their hand.

However, the Emperor of Yan knew very well that these old Celestial Masters were already very old. Back then, the True Lung fought against the gods to establish the world that now belonged to the "people" of Great Yan. The price they paid was the death of a large number of Celestial Masters. Even the old Celestial Masters who survived were now all nearing the end of their lives and did not have much time left.

The old Celestial Masters are either dead or wounded, and although "Sui" and the other Feranmut are also in a bad situation, so many years have passed, the number of the old Celestial Masters is decreasing, but the Feranmut will eventually make a comeback... However, the successors of the Great Yan still need time to be cultivated.

However, without exception, all the old masters were extremely skilled in Originium Arts; martial arts were merely supplementary, allowing them to achieve such results. But Originium Arts truly depend heavily on talent...

In comparison, while martial arts also have a high barrier to entry, the requirements for talent are not as fixed as those for Originium Arts, which are essentially unchangeable from birth. The Emperor of Yan did try to use martial arts to threaten the Feranmut, but ultimately gave up—because there is no limit to martial arts, but to master any martial art to its fullest potential, even with talent, one still needs a long lifespan to support it.

Learning martial arts takes far longer than cultivating Originium Arts... and martial artists aren't necessarily more powerful with age. As they get older, their internal strength may increase, but their bodies can't keep up, turning them into disposable explosives... especially when facing Feranmut.

Moreover, Feranmut are incredibly powerful beings, each with thick hides and tough flesh. Even if you risk your life for a single strike, how many years of cultivation do you have, and how many years do the Feranmut have accumulated? Could you truly possibly shake Feranmut?

Having grasped this point, the Yan Emperor ultimately abandoned the training strategy of "primarily focusing on martial arts, supplemented by Originium Arts." But now, the power of the Lion's Roar Technique has truly given the Yan Emperor a huge surprise!

"Madam Wen Yue was able to master this martial art in just a few months, achieving such power..."

"So, even if Madam Wen Yue is a rare individual with excellent compatibility and strong skills, compared to other profound internal arts, the Lion's Roar Technique is still so remarkably effective."

"If it possesses such power, and if our Great Yan could cultivate a group of martial artists specializing in the Lion's Roar Technique... even if they have certain limitations, it would be enough to solve the immediate crisis when facing some Feranmut whose racial advantages are not strong!"

What is the strongest martial art? It's something that even a slow learner can master! Diligence can compensate for lack of talent, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts, unlike Originium Arts which are innate and cannot be changed from birth.

If the Lion's Roar Technique could be popularized, even if the selection of people would be somewhat strict, the Great Yan Lion's Roar Technique could still find suitable candidates to practice it.

When it comes to dealing with a single Feranmut, one person with the Lion's Roar Technique might not be enough. What about a hundred? A thousand? They'd have to be covered in blood, wouldn't they?

"Hahaha! Excellent! I am very pleased!"

Finally realizing just how profound a martial art Chen Qi had imparted to the Great Yan, the Great Yan Emperor was unusually overjoyed. At that moment, the Grand Tutor cautiously stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that this matter should not be carried out immediately."

"The Lion's Roar Technique is a profound internal skill. Such a powerful skill, if not used carefully, will spread throughout the martial world and become a weapon of abuse. This will be exploited by some with ulterior motives, plunging the Great Yan Dynasty into bloodshed once again."

"If it circulates within the Great Yan, that's fine. But if foreigners learn of the martial arts manual... I fear countless spies will infiltrate our court, and many ministers might even be bribed by the enemy..."

The Grand Tutor did not continue, and the Emperor of Great Yan quickly calmed down upon hearing this, immediately realizing that this martial art should not be spread too widely... He then regained his composure and said:

"In your opinion, my esteemed minister, we should carefully select and regard this as the supreme martial art in our arsenal, so as to attract more sons of military families to set an example and serve the country?"

"Indeed, I believe that after 'Kung Fu Hustle' airs, such martial arts will surely arouse the envy of many sons of military families. In order to learn this martial art, they will definitely work harder to cultivate themselves, and their loyalty to the Great Yan Dynasty will go without saying."

"--Your Majesty, I heard from Zuo Le that Director Chen Qi has a unique martial art called 'Buddha's Palm'."

At this moment, the people from the Imperial Calendar Bureau bowed to the Emperor of Yan and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Director Chen Qi's strongest martial arts skill. We should be able to catch a glimpse of it in 'Kung Fu Hustle'."

"The Buddha's Palm... it sounds very powerful, but Chen Qi certainly won't pass on this signature skill to the Great Yan."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Yan nodded. Although he was somewhat curious about what "Tathagata" was, he was no longer surprised by such news after learning that Chen Qi was a Great Yan Feranmut.

Perhaps it's the name of some "god"? And then he uses that name as the basis for his unique palm technique? Or is it that Chen Qi himself is "Tathagata"?

The Emperor of Yan was not interested in these things. Seeing things that were within reach but unattainable would only make one's heart itch. It was better to ignore them and focus on making good use of what he already had.

"Pass down the order: the two martial arts manuals, 'Lion's Roar Technique' and 'Tai Chi,' shall be designated as the highest treasures of the Great Yan Martial Arsenal. Only the top-ranking student in the five-yearly examination at the Great Yan Arts Academy shall have the opportunity to learn these martial arts."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as the Emperor of Great Yan finished speaking, the Grand Tutor and the Imperial Calendar Bureau immediately bowed and clasped their hands in greeting. The Emperor of Great Yan's lips twitched slightly at the familiar words, but he pretended not to hear them.

Well, he's used to it. Now, whether his decisions are good or bad, these ministers like to use this phrase to express their emotions, to the point that even the emperor himself can't tell whether his decisions are right or wrong.

All I can say is that these old guys have become even more cunning since watching Director Chen Qi's work... Hopefully, this isn't a bad thing. If they become too shrewd, he might have to teach these old monsters a lesson.

"Your Majesty, here is a video recording that Duke Wei specially had Zuo Le send from Lungmen."

At that moment, the general of the Imperial Calendar Bureau handed a videotape to the Emperor of Yan through the Yan Grand Tutor, and then said, "Zuo Le said that this contains footage and also what Duke Wei wanted to say to Your Majesty... He hopes Your Majesty will read it."

"... Granted."

The Emperor of Yan looked at the videotape in his hand, and upon hearing that it was sent by his elder brother, he immediately ordered the Grand Tutor to play it.

The Emperor of Yan was also somewhat sentimental. It had been a long time since he had seen his older brother. He wondered if his brother had changed in all these years.

Just as the emperor was thinking this, as the videotape played, what came into his view was a scene of weeping. In a place that looked very dilapidated, many simply dressed people were throwing paper money into a stove and crying bitterly.

The sudden scene of death was somewhat unsettling for the Yan Emperor. Just as he was pondering what his older brother meant, the camera zoomed out to reveal a Forte (Shang Zhong), who appeared to be seriously injured, speaking to Wenyue and Wei Yenwu beside him.

"... Why are he Madam Wen Yue dressed like this?" Upon seeing the attire of Wei Yenwu and his wife in the play, the Emperor frowned and said, "What kind of decorum is this? So improperly dressed, do I have to send him and my sister-in-law some clothes?"

"... Your Majesty, these are the costumes worn during filming; it must have been requested by Director Chen Qi." The Grand Tutor also offered a reminder to His Majesty, whose first reaction upon seeing his elder brother's unflattering attire was to offer him new clothes.

The emperor immediately realized his lapse in composure, but could only pretend nothing had happened. On the screen, the heavily injured Shang Zhong also spoke:

"It's no use... I won't live much longer. To have met you true masters like me, my life has not been in vain."

"Don't say that, Donut." At this moment, Wei Yenwu, who was immersed in grief, also expressed his helplessness but sincerity to Shang Zhong:

"We're just ordinary citizens who want to enjoy our retirement peacefully... ordinariness is a blessing. We really don't want to bear the title of 'expert' anymore."

However, upon hearing Wei Yenwu's words, the actress playing "Jane," who was not far away, was also deeply saddened and immediately stood up, pointing at the two of them and saying:

"You two are so capable, if you had acted sooner, they wouldn't have died so tragically!"

However, Jane's words were somewhat of an afterthought, but before the emperor could even frown, the sorrowful Wenyue also appeared deeply grieved, her voice unusually trembling with tears as she spoke:

"... Just like Donut said, every family has its own problems."

"Back then, for the sake of a martial arts competition... I watched my child get beaten to death with my own eyes."

As they spoke, Wenyue, seemingly revealing her true feelings, took the initiative to touch noses with Wei Yenwu. After a long while, Madam Wen Yue said with deep emotion, even a hint of pleading:

"When will this cycle of revenge end...? I hope everyone can understand."

However, as soon as Wenyue said this, everyone present knew that these words were not just from the script, but also spoken by Wei Yenwu and his wife to the Emperor of Yan.

Seeing this scene, the emperor fell into a long silence. Neither the Grand Tutor nor the officials of the Imperial Calendar Bureau dared to disturb him, allowing him to make his own choice from this scene.

"This is all said for my benefit... Every family has its own troubles, and the cycle of revenge never ends... Is this an attempt to persuade me to be more magnanimous and let them go?"

"... Your Majesty, Duke Wei said that there is another video recording coming up, which will be sent within a month. It will also contain his stance." The official from the Imperial Calendar Bureau spoke up at this moment, but the emperor simply nodded and did not say anything more.

The emperor recalled some past events. Back at Lungmen, he made many decisions that a younger brother should not have made for his elder brother, but that an emperor should have made for his subjects... And now, seeing his elder brother pleading with him in such a fragment, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

When did they reach this point? The emperor no longer knew the answer to that question, but he wondered what he should do if this relationship could be mended.

Could it be that we still have to rely on him? The Emperor of Yan inadvertently recalled Chen Qi's image, along with Talulah who was currently by Chen Qi's side, and the fact that the group was still living peacefully together in Lungmen. He pondered how to change this relationship in the future.

Meanwhile, Chen Qi in Lungmen was unaware of what the current Emperor of Great Yan was pondering regarding the video sent from Lungmen. He was in a good mood today because the feedback he received from the system indicated that " To the To the Moon" had been showing for some time and could be considered a great success!

Just as Chen Qi predicted, " To the To the Moon" opened a door to a world that the people of Terra, who had little knowledge of the starry sky, had never experienced before. Although the film is essentially a romance movie disguised as science fiction, the final scene still satisfied a large number of people's longing and curiosity about the starry sky.

Of course, what Chen Qi was more concerned about was the new area unlocked by the system. After the filming of " To the To the Moon" ended, Chen Qi's system unlocked a new territory, "Leithania".

[Congratulations, host, on gaining favor with a new important character. The Twin Empresses of Leithania seem to have some need of you. Their diplomatic relationship with you has been changed to "Friendly," and a map of the Leithania region has been displayed.]

[An important figure in Leithania has taken notice of the host. After the host travels to Leithania, they can attempt to invite this important figure to film a new project, thereby expanding and increasing their influence!]

Chapter 224: The Strong Reactions to "To the Moon" and the Approaching Chen Qi

"I have to say, this time 'To the To the Moon' was even more successful than we expected. I thought people on this land would be allergic to 'being moved'..."

"That's a rather stereotypical impression, Director Chen Qi. People always need tears and hope."

Some time has passed since the release of " To the To the Moon," and Chen Qi has finally received the settlement from the system. Seeing that he had spent a lot of reputation points to improve his strength by having Huai Tianpei play the role of "Fire Cloud Evil God," and that these points had finally been replenished, Chen Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, he has enough reputation points again. Although Chen Qi's crew doesn't have many uses for reputation points these days, having reputation points gives him confidence and allows him to prepare for the worst at any time. Especially now that Chen Qi's next step is basically confirmed to be going to Leithania, he needs even more confidence to support him.

Leithania was a country Chen Qi had never set foot in, and even YJ hadn't explained it in detail. Chen Qi only knew that there were still remnants of the Witch King there, and that the people there probably didn't have a very good impression of him.

Who told him to have almost single-handedly helped Victoria destroy and then restore her nation? Now that Victoria is at its zenith and everything is progressing steadily, while Leithania has lost the war, he will likely be labeled as "Victoria's accomplice."

However, Leithania is indeed worth visiting for Chen Qi his group. Of the countries they have visited so far, apart from Kazimierz, which they only borrowed for filming without any benefit, the reputation points from Victoria, Laterano, and Columbia, which are on good terms with Chen Qi, as well as the Sarkaz, are quite stable and substantial.

This also made Chen Qi understand why the system had been guiding him to travel to various countries in order to maximize his benefits. As long as he could gain the favor of the people of a country, his subsequent works would receive more prestige points from those people.

After all, if you want the public to support your work, you have to first get the public to support you as a person. Otherwise, no matter how good the work is, it will still have an impact on you if you are not popular in the country.

"Even the experts at Rhine Lab have praised your film highly, Director Chen Qi." Saria said to Chen Qi while looking at her phone. She had been paying close attention to the feedback on " To the To the Moon," probably hoping to see some familiar faces in it.

However, Saria was unaware that Chen Qi now had access to Rhine Lab's and all the important characters' evaluations of " To the To the Moon" within his system, all of which were completely transparent.

Moreover, the ID disguise was useless to Chen Qi. Chen Qi quickly found the movie reviews of the people that Saria was still looking for, and the first ones that caught his eye were a few people he was not very familiar with.

Loken Williams: "Why not film the moon landing? Why not film the moon landing?! You know perfectly well what's beyond the stars! Why won't you let us see it?! Don't you want us humans to break through the barriers that block us out and see the real starry sky?! Selfish bastard!" (One-star rating)

Parvis: "I was dragged there by several colleagues. I heard it was starring the Commander-in-Chief and Master Saria, and they strongly recommended it, so I went to see it after leaving the lab. I was hoping to see the moon landing, but there was only the last shot. The buildup was too long. It was basically a romance movie disguised as a sci-fi film. I took a nap." (3 stars)

... Who are these two? Chen Qi, who hadn't even read the whole plot, raised an eyebrow. He usually only received low ratings from Lappland for such important characters. Seeing their serious evaluations now, they were clearly dissatisfied with the lack of emphasis on science fiction in " To the To the Moon".

Forget it, even if a researcher with a twisted and unscrupulous personality is an important figure in Rhine Lab, Chen Qi doesn't really want to care about him.

Soon, Chen Qi saw the reviews of " To the To the Moon" from several other important figures at Rhine Lab. He recognized some of them, and was not familiar with others, but the feedback seemed to be quite positive.

Dorothy: "A very good movie. I originally came to see the starry sky, but in the end I forgot all about it... The story of the River and John showed me something even more dazzling than the starry sky." (5 stars)

Ferdinand: "What a terrible movie! I wanted to see a moon landing, but they gave me a romance! No wonder they drag you into movies!... But it wasn't a bad trip overall; at least I saw some interesting things. The equipment for end-of-life care and the spacecraft that broke through to space are worth considering."

"... Aside from that, the story itself is indeed good. I just hope that next time you can do a better job of categorizing movies and stop this kind of deception!" (5-star rating)

Yara Book Wilson: "I was really interested when I first heard that Saria and Kristen were going to be making this movie together, but I was too Kung Fu Hustle to go see it on set. Now that it's out, I can say they really did a great job."

"In particular, this film subtly changed the thinking of many newcomers and veterans at Rhine Lab, which may be very beneficial for Rhine Lab's return to its original aspirations. It's really well done." (Five-star rating)

Muelsyse: "Garbage movie! Even if I had a role in it, it would still be the same! I couldn't even see the screen through my tears on my second viewing!" (5-star rating)

"It seems the feedback from everyone at Rhine Lab is quite positive." Chen Qi glanced at the online comments from some familiar and some unfamiliar Rhine Lab members, pretending to be scrolling through his phone like Saria, and struck up a conversation:

"Saria, did you find the comment you were looking for?"

"... I guess so. At least in my opinion, I think our film has been a great success, Director Chen Qi."

Saria's gaze slowly focused on a spot on her phone. Clearly, she had already found the person she was looking for among the vast number of online comments, and this comment was exactly what Saria had expected.

Seeing Saria's satisfied smile, Chen Qi naturally knew which comment she had seen, and turned his gaze to the system's display of comments about Kristen.

Kristen: "As one of the stars of 'To the To the Moon,' this experience felt like reliving my life. While that might be an exaggeration, I witnessed so much from this film."

"I dreamed of going to the stars, I hoped to witness it all by any means... but I never imagined that my first witness to it would be through a movie, glimpsing only a tiny fraction of the universe."

"Perhaps this goes against my own wishes... but after seeing all this, I've become much calmer. I've thought a lot about the world of stars, and now that I've witnessed all this, perhaps we should consider taking it a step further."
