Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

The Surprising Sword Challenge

The city market was bustling and filled with merchants clamoring to offer their wares. The middle Xian was engrossed in walking around, fascinated by the colorful silk fabrics sold in one of the cloth shops.

Suddenly, amidst the crowd, Xian heard a familiar voice. The voice was like a melody from the past that ran through his ears. He turned around and saw a well-built man with long black hair and sharp eyes. The man smiled widely, and it was a smile that Xian could not forget.

"Lin Tao!" xian exclaimed happily as he ran up to the man.

Lin Tao, the accomplished sword cultivator famous throughout the Han Sang Kingdom, welcomed Xian with open arms. "Xians! Long time no see."

The two of them shook hands tightly, looking at each other with friendly smiles. Lin Tao is Xian's old friend from the past, and they once practiced together at a silat college before they embarked on their respective adventures.

Xian rubbed his slightly grown beard and said, "I'm fine. What about you, Lin Tao? The last time we met was at that college, wasn't it?"

Lin Tao nodded. "Yes, that's right. I continued my training and am now a valued member of the sword clan here in Han Sang. How're you? What brings you to this city?"

Xian recounted his travels and adventures since they last met. He told me about Guyon's martial college, the philosophy of laughter, and all the interesting experiences he had experienced.

Lin Tao listened with interest. "That all sounds amazing" he said. "I'm glad to hear that. Are you still actively practicing martial arts?"

Xian smiled. "of course! I'm still training, although I'm more focused on Guyon's philosophy now. But of course, I can still face challenges if needed."

Lin Tao frowned. "Well, then, what if we had a martial arts match? I want to see how strong you are now."

Xian smiled widely. "Why not? I never refused a challenge. When and where will we fight?"

Lin Tao pointed to an open field located outside the city. "Tomorrow morning, right there. We will fight fairly, without weapons or outside forces."

Xian nodded in agreement. "All right, I'll be here in the morning. This will be an interesting meeting, Lin Tao."

The two of them spoke for a while longer before parting to get ready. Lin Tao disappeared among the crowd of merchants, while Xian returned to where he was staying in high spirits. Tomorrow morning's martial will be an exciting moment in his adventure in Han Sang Kingdom.

After speaking to Lin Tao and agreeing on the date and venue of the match, Xian returned to his inn to begin preparations. He knows that tomorrow morning's game will be a serious challenge, even though they both have decided to make it a humorous fight.

He sat on a bamboo mat in the corner of the room and began to ponder. He pondered the jokes and jokes he had learned during his travels. Xian knew that humor was a powerful weapon, even in martial arts.

As he pondered, he smiled to himself remembering one of his favorite jokes. This was a joke about a cultivator trying to take his sword off during a fight, but the sword was too heavy and instead fell on him. The joke was simple but funny, and Xian was convinced that it could be used to control the situation in the match.

Meanwhile, Lin Tao was also getting ready at his residence. He trained with his sword, sensing the weight and length of the weapon. Lin Tao was an extremely skilled swordsman, and he wanted to make sure that he was at his best.

He also pondered about tomorrow's match. Even though he was a serious cultivator, he appreciated the idea of humor in combat. He believed that martial arts were not only about physical strength, but also about wisdom and agility of mind.

When night fell, Xian and Lin Tao both felt ready for the match tomorrow morning. They have prepared physically and mentally, and both have respect for each other. Although the fight was going to be serious, they both knew that they also wanted to entertain the audience and show that martial arts could be something more than just violence.

They hope that the match tomorrow morning will be a moment that not only tests their skills in the martial arts, but also brings laughter and happiness to all who witness it. With that in mind, they go to bed, ready for the exciting day to come.

Xian sat in his room, immersed in the thought of the joke he would use during the match with Lin Tao. He knew that humor was a powerful weapon, especially in tense situations like martial arts fights.

He began to recall some jokes he had heard during his travels. There was one joke about a farmer trying to sell his chickens at the market, but the chickens were too lazy to move. The joke always made him laugh, and he decided that this could be the perfect joke to control the situation during the game.

Xian also thought of jokes that could be used to make Lin Tao smile. He knew that mutual respect humor would be more effective than offensive jokes.

After some time of pondering, Xian started to laugh to himself as he imagined how he would deal with Lin Tao with his jokes. He believes that humor can be a powerful weapon to maintain balance in the game.

Meanwhile, Lin Tao was also preparing himself at his residence. He was pondering about the match tomorrow morning and how he could remain serious in the martial while maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.

Lin Tao recalled one joke about a martial master who tried to teach his student complicated martial techniques, but his student instead ended up jumping around like an ape. The joke made him smile, and he decided that he would try to answer Xian's jokes with his own jokes.

With that thought, Lin Tao practiced with his sword while occasionally trying to utter a joke out loud. He wants to make sure that he is ready for the upcoming matches, both in terms of patience and humor.

While Xian and Lin Tao were getting ready in their own individual ways, they had one common goal: to make the match tomorrow morning an entertaining and memorable moment for all who witnessed it. They know that the fight is not only about physical strength, but also about wisdom and agility of mind. And with their jokes, they hope to create an unforgettable match.
