Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

Chapter 163 The World of Martial Arts - The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

"Congratulations on your successful transmigration. The current film and television world is Swordsman Film and Television. Since you are now in a film and television world outside of the city, you can only choose your own identity."

"The difficulty will vary after you choose your identity. Please choose one of the following villain identities as your new world identity."

After spending 15 years at the Siheyuan Film and Television Studio, Yang Ke embarks on a new journey through time.

Judging from the previous rewards, he has now transmigrated to a martial arts world.

The available identities this time are quite interesting.

"Identity 1: Young Master of Huashan Sect, son of Yue Buqun, villain mission difficulty: 3 stars."

"Second identity: Young master of Yang Family Manor, adopted son of Liu Changfeng of Hengshan Sect, villain mission difficulty: 3 stars."

"Identity 3: Lin Pingzhi of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, villain mission difficulty: 2 stars."

All three identities seemed pretty good, but Yang Ke immediately rejected the first one.

The reason is simple: missing out on a substantial reward for a rebellious disciple would be a huge loss.

The second identity is good; it allows you to enter Liu Changfeng's storyline and also offers Hengshan Sect martial arts as a gift.

The third identity is that Lin Pingzhi's family does have the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, but Yang Ke cannot practice it. Also, the villain difficulty is 2 stars only because Lin Pingzhi is very difficult from the start.

With a year to go before the story begins, Yang Ke thought it over and decided to choose his second identity.

This is a way to get in touch with people from the five major factions without getting into too much trouble.

What? Isn't Liu Changfeng a problem?

Sorry, that happened six months after the start of the story. Yang Ke was already collecting his rewards, so why would he be worried about the so-called Thirteen Protectors of Songshan?

"Host identity selection complete. Next, we will issue the main storyline and villain missions."

"Main mission: Save Yue Lingshan, Ren Yingying, Ning Zhongze, Yilin and other female protagonists and supporting characters, and change their fate."

"Villain Mission One: Strike down the male protagonists and supporting characters such as Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong, and Lin Pingzhi."

"Villain Mission Two: There is no first place in literature but there is no second place in martial arts. Please defeat all the masters in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer within ten years and become a legend in the martial arts world."

The system quickly issued the task and then began to distribute identity memories to Yang Ke.

Martial arts in this world are divided into: unranked, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, grandmaster, and great grandmaster.

It can be said that this martial arts world is a low-end martial arts world, because Yue Buqun is only at the peak of the first-class level, Linghu Chong is at the early stage of the first-class level, Liu Changfeng is at the middle stage of the first-class level, and the only grandmasters are Zuo Lengchan, Ren Woxing, Mo Da, etc.

Yang Ke's current martial arts skills are only at the early stage of second-rate. As for why Liu Changfeng was able to adopt him as a son, it's purely because of his high artistic talent.

It sounds ridiculous, but if you knew that the Hengshan Sect's leader, Mo Da, was nicknamed "Xiaoxiang Night Rain," and that he always had a huqin (a two-stringed bowed instrument) in his hand, and that he had the eight-character title of "hiding a sword in the huqin, and the sword's sound comes from the huqin."

The two great masters of the Hengshan Sect are the current sect leader, Master Mo Da, and his junior brother, Liu Zhengfeng.

The nickname of Master Mo came from his song "Night Rain in Xiaoxiang," a song with a mournful melody.

In addition, he was a master swordsman with an extremely fast sword speed and unpredictable and fierce sword moves, making him the leader of the Hengshan Sect.

Although Liu Zhengfeng was not the sect leader, people in the martial arts world believed that his swordsmanship was already above Mo Da's. His signature move, the "Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword," was said to be able to unleash nine swords in one move, which was incredibly fast and unbelievable.

Yang Ke has only managed to reach the second tier because he has mastered the Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword. Although he can't compare to Linghu Chong, what good is fighting skills in the Hengshan Sect? You need to have an art!

Fortunately, there was still a year left. Yang Ke was now the young master of Yang Family Manor and naturally had his own training courtyard. He decisively picked up the long sword hanging by his bed and went to the courtyard.

This time, Feng Luoyan's sword strike contained nine attack points in one move. Besides that, what made it even more difficult to defend against was its speed, so fast that it was impossible to predict where it would strike.

And who is Yang Ke? He is someone who has surpassed the limits of normal human beings.

After replacing the original owner, his swordsmanship may still be a bit lacking, but his physical attributes make him a top-tier expert.

Honestly, if the heavy sword wasn't so uncool, Yang Ke would have followed Yang Guo's example and carried a heavy sword around the streets.

Why? Let me ask you this: the normal limit of strength for urban dwellers is 30 points. Even if a martial artist reaches 60 points, with the boost from martial arts internal energy, it can exceed 100 points. But Yang Ke himself is already close to 100 points.

Your all-out effort is nothing more than a mere basic attack from me. How should you respond?

Including his agility, his speed is very fast, so how terrifying would the Returning Wind and Falling Goose Sword he unleashed be?

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The specific attribute information provided by the system also confirmed Yang Ke's guess: his talent was indeed terrifying.

Host: Yang Ke.

In terms of physical attributes: Constitution 97, Strength 94, Agility 89, which has exceeded human limits.

Strength: Late stage of first-class; Martial arts: Perfected Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword, Perfected Yang Family Flowing Cloud Step.

Secondary attributes: Martial arts talent maxed out, stamina MAX, charm +8, talent +3, flexibility +3.

Items: Intermediate-level blessed land-grade spatial ring, martial arts-grade Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic cultivation method, divine-level disguise mask.

In just one week, Yang Ke reached the late-stage level of a first-class hero. This was largely due to his superior attributes, as well as his martial arts talent.

He was already very skilled with the Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword, and with his physical abilities, he could execute it flawlessly. He also had the Yang Family Flowing Cloud Step.

Although this lightness skill is only a top-tier second-rate movement technique, 89 points of agility is no joke.

"My Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is a genuine top-level internal energy cultivation method. The key is that it can be used in conjunction with other schools' cultivation methods without conflict. Whether I can break through to the Grandmaster level depends on this year."

Yang Ke considered his own situation and knew that when the plot began a year later, the so-called top-notch experts would not be enough.

Putting aside the overpowered protagonists like Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzhi, do you really think Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, and the Four Heroes of Qingcheng are weak?

Oh, and there's also the notorious flower thief Tian Boguang. He travels all over the world alone, and his agility and swordsmanship are top-notch.

The young Linghu Chong was no match for Tian Boguang's "Thirteen Styles of Flying Sand and Stones" sword technique when he was ambushed. He was injured by him and could only watch helplessly as Yilin was taken away.

What truly cemented Tian Boguang's status in the martial arts world was his battle with Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

The two fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds inside and outside the Qunyu Courtyard, their strength evenly matched. Even Master Dingyi of the Hengshan Sect praised him highly.

Ultimately, Yu Canghai realized he was no match for them and had no choice but to abandon the encirclement and suppression.

This shows that Tian Boguang's martial arts skills have reached the level of a first-class master, no less than Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

The reason why we use Tian Boguang as a benchmark is simply because Tian Boguang was a notorious womanizer, and he was not strong enough and was a lone wolf.

The Qingcheng Sect destroyed the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Who will step forward to uphold justice and eliminate Yu Canghai?

To put it bluntly, if Yang Ke had the strength to overwhelm the Five Mountains Sword Sect, then he would be a dashing playboy; if his martial arts are lacking, then he only deserves to be seen as a lecherous scoundrel.
