On July 27th, under the scorching summer sun, the World Martial Arts Tournament opened as scheduled.

Ye Qingzhou, along with Huang Liwen and Zhu Jinfeng, left the hotel and could see from afar the Chuyun police at the roadblock. They wore uniform indigo uniforms, with black revolvers at their waists, some waving batons to direct traffic.

As martial arts flourished, this world-class event naturally attracted attention from all over the Blue Star, which brought an influx of tourists from various countries into the already crowded Kyoto, leading to severe traffic congestion.

To ensure the experience of the participants and the country's elite, Kyoto mobilized all available police forces, with yellow warning lines set up in many places and sections of roads.

The one who came to pick up Ye Qingzhou was a black luxury car, stopped outside the warning lines. Huanji Meiqin, disguised as a Calamity God Palace maiden and White Tiger Divine General, rolled down the car window and had a brief conversation with the officer on the roadside, after which the officer lifted the warning line to let them through.

There were many similar luxury cars, all taking exclusive routes directly to the venue.

Originally, Huang Liwen and Zhu Jinfeng were supposed to be stuck on the road with their school's delegation, but now they were riding with Ye Qingzhou, looking at the warning lines on both sides of the street, sighing how great it is to have influence and power.

At this moment, they truly felt the various implicit benefits that come with the identity of a Martial Saint.

In contrast, Ye Qingzhou remained calm, as he was a special invited guest, topping the must-kill list of the Celestial Sword Bureau of the Western Pole Kingdom.

In any case, One-Eyed Nick would never allow himself to be stuck in traffic on the road.

Once the vehicle entered the competition hall, it parked at a designated area at the entrance.

Simultaneously, a massive convoy also arrived, dispatched by the official arrangements of Chuyun, equipped with exclusive reception personnel.

The car doors opened one after another, and amidst the surprised gazes of Huang Liwen and Zhu Jinfeng, a group of martial arts powerhouses with impressive auras stepped out.

Some of them exuded an immensely powerful presence, with the Qi and Blood Power emanating from them seeming to pierce the sky, stirring the wind and thunder.

It was now just past ten in the morning, the sun shone brightly, the golden sunlight slightly reflecting off the metallic exterior of the luxury cars, casting reflections of birds circling back and forth in the sky.

"That's the delegation from Europe!"

Among those who stepped out, two young individuals stood out the most.

The one on the left wore a light-colored trench coat, with particularly striking blue-violet hair, not dyed, but the result of practicing a special attribute cultivation technique, along with blood-red eyes and a cold temperament, all revealing his identity as a Holy Blood descendant.

Moreover, at his waist was a sword-shaped weapon wrapped in white bandages, faintly visible beneath the coat, its sharpness not fully revealed yet, but still inducing a chill upon sight.

The one on the right was a fair-skinned young man, of immense stature with a height exceeding 2.5 meters, appearing almost inhumanly strong.

He wore a black vest, exposing two robust arms. His arms were evenly wrapped in white bandages, which further accentuated the muscular contours of his arms.

"One of Europe's 'Three Stars', the world's third-ranked 'Star Swordsman' Lanxiu, and the world's fifth-ranked 'Strong God' Hert!"

Zhu Jinfeng recognized their identities.

The Silver Grandmaster, in Europe, is already the strongest below the Martial Saint, and some small affiliated European countries cannot even cultivate one.

Therefore, martial arts powerhouses like Lanxiu and Hert are the foundation and cornerstone of the major powers across the Blue Star.

At this moment, the local martial arts schools of Chuyun also began to enter; as they got off the vehicles, they were immediately scrutinized by Lanxiu and Hert of the European delegation.

The Silver Grandmaster could make Qi vibrate the world, and with a single thought, where their gaze landed, Primordial Qi solidified, causing the local Chuyun martial arts competitors to feel a moment of disorientation, with a flash of silvery moon sword light slicing through the air on the left, and a towering Divine Mountain on the right.

Ooyama Tetsuya of the Matsutake Hall Stream blinked in realization, squinting with apprehension, his expression serious: "These two have such a formidable aura, indicating they have paved their path and are about to touch upon the signs of the 'Dao'..."

"Europe's Three Stars, truly worthy of being the core inheritors cultivated by the top three martial arts schools in Europe. Such strength means that within the Land of Chuyun, unless the Three Saints step in, even the Grandmasters will struggle to compete."

Having their spiritual backbone broken, Chuyun's martial arts world hardly produced any outstanding talents anymore, and even preserving the legacy of past schools was barely possible.

As a result, many people didn't even have the courage to face Lanxiu and Hert directly, secretly contemplating retreat.

"Hahaha, welcome to the Holy Knight Order and Mount Zhongshen to Kyoto. These two must be Lanxiu and Hert, two of Europe's Three Stars. In the last world competition, I missed the opportunity to meet you two. This time it seems fate has smiled upon us."

Takahara Chosin laughed heartily and stepped forward.

"School Head Takahara, I've long admired the reputation of the Shindo-Ryu Swordsmanship."

Hert, with fair skin from Mount Zhongshen, beneath a seemingly rugged physique, exuded a refined cultural heritage of the ancient nation, being very polite in manners.

Hert's gaze then swept past those behind Takahara Chosin: "I wonder who these are..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce them."

Takahara Chosin slightly turned sideways, enthusiastically introducing the local martial arts schools to Hert: "These are the Elders and School Heads of various martial arts schools in Kyoto, here naturally to partake in this grand and magnificent world martial arts tournament."
