Chapter 1000 -928: Exasperating

The protagonist is Zhang Jun Bao!

Zhang Jun Bao’s supporters were so proud because the second chapter of “Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer” was so clearly direct!

In this chapter.

The Kunlun Three Sage, He Zudao, challenged the Shaolin Temple, only to be repeatedly defeated by the unknown Jueyuan and even the young monk, Zhang Jun Bao!

This was almost a “death sentence” for He Zudao!

How could a protagonist be repeatedly humiliated by minor characters upon his introduction?

Instead, Zhang Jun Bao rose unexpectedly because he embarrassed He Zudao, successfully showed off, but accidentally revealed that he knew Arhat Fist—

That’s so protagonist-like!

As everyone knows, Shaolin Temple strictly forbids the unauthorized learning of martial arts, so logically, Zhang Jun Bao should not know Arhat Fist. Thus, once he revealed his skills, he stood in opposition to Shaolin!

The Shaolin Temple wanted to capture Zhang Jun Bao.

Jueyuan could not bear to see his disciple in trouble, so he took Zhang Jun Bao and Guo Xiang and fled, escaping Shaolin’s pursuit.

Now that’s showing off!

And there’s the conflict!

The protagonist-like aura of Zhang Jun Bao was nearly bursting forth!

Not to mention, right before Jueyuan died, he loudly recited a set of martial arts mantras, possibly from the “Nine Yang Manual”!

And under such special circumstances, Guo Xiang and Zhang Jun Bao obtained the essence of the “Nine Yang Manual”!

The plot even specifically pointed out:

Zhang Jun Bao listened intently to Jueyuan’s recitation, not daring to disturb.

Doesn’t this imply that Zhang Jun Bao was quietly learning the “Nine Yang Manual”?

The reader can completely imagine how powerful this martial art is.

It’s related to the “Nine Yin Manual” mentioned in the previous two novels.

Nine Yin…

Nine Yang…

With such corresponding names, nobody doubts that these two martial arts are on the same level.

How could Zhang Jun Bao not benefit from learning this martial art?

He’s naturally the Domain’s Son, even more protagonist-like than Yang Guo and Guo Jing!

At least those two protagonists didn’t obtain martial arts of this caliber in their early stages.

Some readers even started imagining Zhang Jun Bao returning to the Shaolin Temple and showing off various heroic acts, and becoming with Guo Xiang the third iconic couple in the “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” trilogy!

“This is good.”

“Guo Xiang should forget about Yang Guo.”

“Zhang Jun Bao is truly the right match for you.”

Some readers who always felt sympathy for Guo Xiang thought this.

In everyone’s hearts, Guo Xiang had already transformed from a protagonist into a female protagonist.

Indeed, Guo Xiang’s behavior towards Zhang Jun Bao had the essence of a female lead towards a male protagonist:

When Jueyuan died and Zhang Jun Bao was lost and helpless, Guo Xiang actually gifted her intimate bracelet and recommended her own parents—

That is, Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Oh boy.

There was even a token of affection.

Zhang Jun Bao, and you still say you’re not the protagonist!

The only thing a bit strange was, the ending seemed a bit off?

In the ending of the second chapter, Chu Kuang used esoteric writing to leap forward more than ten years!

The book wrote: “…

One day, while wandering in the mountains, looking up at the floating clouds and down at the flowing water, Zhang Jun Bao had an epiphany.

He pondered in the cave for seven days and nights, suddenly achieving a breakthrough, grasping the ultimate principle in martial arts of using softness to overcome hardness, and couldn’t help but laugh heartily to the sky.

This laughter heralded a grandmaster who would inherit the past and usher in the future!

Using his self-realized fist principles, the Daoist concept of virtual completeness, and the internal techniques recorded in the ‘Nine Yang Manual,’ he created a martial style for the Wudang Sect that would illuminate future generations.

Later, traveling north to Baoming, seeing the three prominently exquisite peaks standing above the cloud sea, he had further insights into martial arts and thus styled himself Zhang Sanfeng.

That was the peerless master Zhang Sanfeng in martial arts history.”

…

This was the only doubt.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Chu Kuang wrote this way, leaping over several years, directly writing about Zhang Jun Bao becoming a grandmaster, and even changing his name to Zhang Sanfeng!

Illuminating later generations!

Shining through the ages!

Chu Kuang, providing such high praise from an official perspective for Zhang Sanfeng, was truly baffling.

“So, is the new book an unbeatable genre?”

“The protagonist starts off as a grandmaster?”

“Is the old rascal done writing about underdogs rising slowly?”

“I still have doubts about Zhang Jun Bao being the protagonist because it feels like this plot line is more of a narration and summary, directly pointing out Zhang Jun Bao’s achievements. This kind of spoiler-like writing isn’t appealing and doesn’t fit with the old rascal’s style.”

“I feel the same way!”

“If it weren’t for the last section’s narration and summary, saying Zhang Jun Bao is the protagonist would be fine, but this last summary is too strange, it seems like Zhang Jun Bao’s story has already been told in just a few sentences, the spoiler vibe is strong, and besides, isn’t he a bit old to be the protagonist?”

Sure enough.

Due to the strange summary at the end of chapter two, a small portion of people still didn’t believe Zhang Jun Bao was the protagonist.

These readers were sceptical:

“I have a bad premonition.”

“Me too!”

“Same here!”

“Is the old rascal up to something again?”

“After all for this guy, writing a book by the rules? That’s not happening.”

…

Meanwhile.

The novelists in the martial arts circle had also finished reading the second chapter.

“What’s the meaning of this second chapter, the pace is completely different from what I expected.”

“Chu Kuang’s thoughts are unfathomable.”

“His previous two books were the same, the plot progression was unpredictable, just like how he suddenly wrote about the dragon princess losing her innocence and Yang Guo losing his arm in the early part of ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’ Who could think of that, to be exact, who would dare to think of it?”

“From my experience, Zhang Jun Bao can’t be the protagonist.”

“It seems some people guessed right, the protagonist hasn’t officially appeared in the first two chapters, probably have to wait until the third chapter.”
