The National Fortune battlefield is broadcast live around the world. When other nations' chosen ones summon Titan giants and Yamata no Orochi, a tipsy old man stumbles out for the Dragon Kingdom.
“It's over, it's Li Bai! He's just a poet!”
Billions of viewers wail, while contestants from other nations laugh themselves silly.
The next second, a tide of beasts descends from the sky.
Li Bai tips back his gourd and drains it, then casually recites, “In ten paces, I slay a man; a thousand miles, and none can stop me.”
Sword energy surges in every direction, clearing the entire instance in an instant.
The world falls silent.
My teammate merely gives his empty wine gourd a shake, then turns to ask me:
“Got any wine?”
