July, the beginning of the month.
The weather in Dongfang Capital was exceptionally hot and dry this month.
Not only because summer vacation had arrived, but also because Dongfang Capital was about to host a grand martial arts event.
It's said that this event was called "Southern Martial Arts Convention," and netizens also nicknamed it "The World's Number One Martial Arts Conference," "The Ultimate Battle on Earth," and other such catchy titles.
Of course, these were all just ways netizens hyped it up; the official name of the event was simply "Martial Arts Conference."
Just four plain words, devoid of any magic, but they always became the talk of the town.
"Did you see the selection today?"
"Did you catch the live stream of yesterday's Martial Arts Conference?"
"Goodness gracious, they say there are female martial artists competing, I wonder if they can really fight?"
