I Expose Wuxia Scandals, and the Comprehensive Wuxia Sky Screen Goes Live

Lin Yue lounged in his modern apartment, as usual engrossed in martial arts videos. He watched compilations of Ke Zhen’e from The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the “trash-talking champion with bottom-tier fighting skills”; a roundup of Yue Buqun’s “hypocrite moments” from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer; and lists of “the most satisfying face-slapping fails in the martial arts world.” He especially liked the clips that were so infuriating and funny, or so awkward they made you want to dig a hole and crawl into it, perfect for watching over a meal.

Little did he know that in a world where the martial arts of masters like Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng all converged, a sky screen covering the heavens and earth had suddenly appeared. Every video Lin Yue watched was broadcast live to that world.

Guo Jing watched a sky-screen roundup titled “Guo Jing, trained by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, was so weak early on that even ordinary soldiers chased him around,” and his face turned red. Yue Buqun saw clips of his self-castration being edited and mocked over and over, and crushed his teacup in a fury. Yang Guo watched an analysis video claiming that “Xiao Longnü could have left long ago, even as Yang Guo waited for her for sixteen years,” and stood at the bottom of the Valley of Passion, utterly bewildered.

The entire combined martial arts world was shaken by the sky screen, but no one knew that it all began with a modern young man lying on his sofa and casually tapping “Next Video.”
