“Ten Years Later, Martial Arts Returns!”
In the shock of countless people, The Legend of the Condor Heroes TV drama soared sky-high!
The reason why this event was so shocking wasn’t just because the drama clinched the top spot in ratings.

Fundamentally, it was because:
This was a martial arts drama!
Even though martial arts dramas always had an audience;
Even though the martial arts craze increased the number of martial arts fans;
Even though major film and television companies always held expectations for the market of martial arts dramas;
But capturing the top spot in evening ratings across six continents was something major film and television companies wouldn’t even dare to dream of, let alone that the drama defeated a rival from Qi Continent!
Martial Arts Revival!
If The Legend of the Condor Heroes as a martial arts drama could top the ratings, what else could this be if not a revival of martial arts?
I get it!
Invest in martial arts dramas!
There’s profit to be made!
At this moment, major film and television companies valued the market for martial arts dramas even more!
…
The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a raging success!
Lancet has also hit it big!
It might sound odd to say this, but more precisely:
It was something Lancet said that has gained fame!
During The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ standoff with Trap the Tiger, Lancet once said at a press conference:
“Let’s call it fifty-fifty with Chu Kuang.”
This statement has now become an internet catchphrase!
Incredibly, countless silly netizens flocked to Lancet’s Tribe’s comment section, calling him “Mr. Fifty-Fifty”!
Some even stopped calling him “Mr. Fifty-Fifty” altogether.
Who knows where they picked it up from; they came straight out calling him “Brother Kai Lei”!
Seeing these silly netizens’ comments made Lancet so angry he wanted to smash something.
Screw your ‘Kai’!
But in the end, he held back.
Because he realized Ling Kong was even angrier than him.
…
Ling Kong was truly seething!
He discovered he might be the only one in Blue Star who had been humiliated by the Three Bros in turns!?
First by Shadow, then by Xian Yu!
Then by Chu Kuang after Xian Yu!
Do you think I’m a punching bag?
What made Ling Kong absolutely furious was:
There were even people from Qi Continent blaming him, saying that because of him, The Daming Palace flopped during its grand finale.
This made absolutely no sense.
It’s like every time Tribe got bullied by the Three Bros, they’d heavily scold themselves.
In fact, this thing had nothing to do with him, go blame The Legend of the Condor Heroes, why blame me?
Picking on the soft targets?
You just know how to shift the blame around!
Can’t beat the opponent and start looking for reasons in your teammates?
Luckily, this time Tribe didn’t scold Ling Kong. They knew the basics of justice.
After all, Trap the Tiger’s loss to its opponent wasn’t because Ling Kong wasn’t good; it was because the opponent was too strong!
Just based on ratings, Trap the Tiger, as a martial arts drama, ranked fifth in the evening dramas across six continents, which definitely wasn’t disappointing!
It could even be considered a great success!
…
Ling Kong thought so.
However, what happened next gradually drove Ling Kong to despair.
Because both The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Trap the Tiger were martial arts dramas, their audience overlapped significantly.
The more popular The Legend of the Condor Heroes became, the more viewers it garnered!
And most of these viewers had switched from watching Trap the Tiger!
This led to a steady increase in viewership for The Legend of the Condor Heroes in the following days, while Trap the Tiger’s viewership was continuously eroded and kept declining.
When the fifth day arrived.
As The Legend of the Condor Heroes reached its fifteenth episode, Trap the Tiger’s viewership had already dropped below 1%!
What was more frightening was:
The Legend of the Condor Heroes, during its broadcast, even attracted many “Chu Kuang haters” who started watching the drama, causing the viewership to soar even higher!
Someone once joked online:
Who leads in haters? Look among the Three Bros at Chu Kuang!
When it comes to the number of haters, even if Xian Yu and Shadow were combined and multiplied several times, they wouldn’t match Chu Kuang, the old rascal!
Yes.
Chu Kuang had a lot of haters.
These haters shared similar traits with Li Feng, as they had all been disappointed and frustrated by Chu Kuang in the past.
For various reasons, they were highly resistant to Chu Kuang’s novels, hardly ever reading his works anymore, and whenever Chu Kuang was mentioned, it was inevitable that they would bristle with anger.
However.
As The Legend of the Condor Heroes TV drama became a big hit, many people like Li Feng started reading Chu Kuang’s novels again because of the drama’s influence.
This was evidenced by the sudden jump in sales of The Legend of the Condor Heroes novel following the TV show.
Everyone was captivated by the drama, and complaining about the slow updates, so they decided to buy the original novels to read.
But when this group of people finished reading Chu Kuang’s novel, they were unexpectedly surprised:
The book actually wasn’t heartbreaking!
Many people had even prepared themselves for heart-wrenching contents as they read the book, only to find out after finishing it that it wasn’t at all what they had imagined!
…
On the blog.
Soon someone started a topic:
#Chu Kuang is getting better#
The topic even suddenly shot to number one on the trending list!
This was a discussion that revolved around the massive popularity of both the novel and TV show of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, with lots of Chu Kuang’s “haters” eagerly joining in!
“Is this a book written by Chu Kuang?”
“I watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes with fear and trepidation, but to the grand finale, it was thrilling all the way through without any unbearable heartbreaking plots. It seems I can safely continue watching the TV show!”
“Has the old rascal really changed his ways?”
“Guys, Chu Kuang is getting better!”
“To err is human, to forgive, divine, I’m so relieved. For this attitude alone, I’ve decided to continue reading the old rascal’s books!”
“After not reading the old rascal’s books for so long, I realized that he still writes so entertainingly. Other authors just can’t give me this feeling!”
“With the old rascal’s skill, I’ll bear with a little heartache in the future.”
“It’s such a slap in the face, I said I’d never read the old rascal’s novels again, but a TV show broke through my defenses, and I fell right back into this old rascal’s trap. I hope this topic is true, and the old rascal really is getting better.”
And in various discussions.
A netizen pointed out sharply:
“Actually, The Legend of the Condor Heroes does have heartbreaking plots, but if it were any other author, you’d still be anxious. It’s just that, those who understand the nature of the old rascal Chu Kuang know, after watching a lot, you build up resistance. Now, even if Chu Kuang writes more heartbreaking plots, I’ll just give a faint smile.”
…
At home.
Lin Yuan, seeing all the buzz caused by The Legend of the Condor Heroes TV drama, couldn’t wait to call out the System:
“Has wuxia been revived yet?”
Reviving wuxia was his most concerning task at the moment.
System: “Wuxia has been in decline for many years, and many people still hold old views about it. Right now, it’s only reaching the stage of a revival.”
Revival.
Renewal.
The former signified that the dormant wuxia was beginning to awaken, but to reach the booming levels of the past, there was still a long way to go.
“Oh.”
Lin Yuan’s gaze became serious.
Come forth, The Return of the Condor Heroes!
