"Is there news about Teacher Chu Kuang's new book!?"

"Haha, Chief Editor Xiong, you really have a divine insight. It is indeed Teacher Chu Kuang's new book. The work has been completed, and I'll send it to you in a moment…"

"A fantasy theme?"

"To be precise, it's still martial arts."

Jin Mu's voice was filled with laughter, while Ol' Xiong's expression turned instantly excited, happy like a 300-pound child!

At this moment.

Jin Mu added, "This time the situation is somewhat special. Teacher Chu Kuang's new book continues the story of the next generation of characters from 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' so you can think of it as a sequel to 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes.'"

Whoosh!

Ol' Xiong suddenly stood up, his flesh trembling all over, while his mind rapidly flashed through the hot topic online recently:

Chu Kuang is back on form!

Isn't it just booming!

After writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," this martial arts novel,

Chu Kuang didn't jump to other genres as impulsively as before. Instead, he chose to continue writing martial arts, and even wrote the story following 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!

This had never happened before!

"That's great!"

Ol' Xiong immediately voiced his assurance, his gaze sharp, "I will personally handle the publicity and ensure that this book surpasses 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!"

Surpass 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!

Ol' Xiong wasn't joking.

Because Chu Kuang's new book is the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes!"

With the foundation laid by the previous work, as long as Chu Kuang's level doesn't decline, exceeding the success of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' isn't difficult!

"Okay, I have sent the book to you."

Speaking of this, Jin Mu's tone suddenly became strange, "I haven't had the chance to read this book yet, but in the end, Teacher Chu Kuang asked me to pass a message to you."

"What?"

"He said, 'Don't change the plot.'"

Upon hearing this, Jin Mu felt an inexplicable thump in his heart, not knowing what he had thought of, he suddenly burst into laughter:

"Here we go again?"

"Very likely."

The two talked in riddles, yet those who understood, understood.

When those words were spoken, it generally indicated that another somewhat heart-wrenching plot had appeared in Chu Kuang's novel.

"Don't worry!"

Ol' Xiong was very open about it, "We've known Teacher Chu Kuang for a long time, and we're familiar with his style. This time, let him play however he wants, our editorial department has no objections, after all, even the readers have gotten used to it!"

Is it just torment?

Bring it on!

After hanging up the phone, Ol' Xiong received the manuscript for "The Return of the Condor Heroes," sent by Jin Mu.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes!"

Ol' Xiong's fingers trembled with excitement, he quickly opened the novel, "Let me be the first reader of this novel!"

…

Chu Kuang had written many novels and had cooperated with the Fantasy Department more than once.

And due to the special nature of his job as an editor, Ol' Xiong had read Chu Kuang's every novel from beginning to end.

Over these many years of collaboration.

Among all of Chu Kuang's high-selling novels,

The martial arts genre was the one that best suited Ol' Xiong's taste!

Martial arts are the fairy tales of adults. For old men like Ol' Xiong, the passion for martial arts stories is deepest.

He had lived through the most splendid era of martial arts, clutching a martial arts novel in his youth.

Back then, Ol' Xiong was incredibly happy.

It is fair to say that Ol' Xiong ended up in the editorial profession due to the trend of martial arts that completely mesmerized him with novels.

Unfortunately, martial arts declined thereafter.

And Ol' Xiong could no longer find joy in martial arts.

Until …

'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' appeared!

This novel brought back the happiness Ol' Xiong felt when he first read martial arts novels and immersed him once again in a dream-like jianghu!

In such circumstances,

Receiving "The Return of the Condor Heroes," which is said to be a sequel to 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' Ol' Xiong was, of course, eager to start reading immediately!

The first chapter!

The second chapter!

The third chapter!

Ol' Xiong was very absorbed in reading and quickly finished the first five chapters.

From Yang Guo's appearance to the appearance of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the plot was as thrilling as ever, Chu Kuang's narrative strength hadn't diminished in the slightest!

However,

Ol' Xiong's brow furrowed slightly after a particular segment of the plot, "Isn't Huang Rong's character a bit ruined?"

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Ol' Xiong, watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes, liked Huang Yaoshi and his daughter Huang Rong the best!

Particularly Huang Rong, elf-like girl, intelligent and wise, and could cook a great meal, one could say that Huang Rong was responsible for half of Guo Jing's achievements!

After watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

How many people fell madly in love with Huang Rong!

However, by The Return of the Condor Heroes, although Ol' Xiong had only read a few chapters, he could clearly feel that Huang Rong was quite harsh on the protagonist, Yang Guo, showing much selfishness, fearing that Yang Guo might seek revenge from Guo Jing after learning about Yang Kang's deeds, going so far as to begrudgingly target the boy, subtly no longer the goddess that people once adored at first sight.

"What an old rascal indeed."

Ol' Xiong muttered gloomily, but he ultimately suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Because aside from the slight ruin of Huang Rong's character, this novel's level of excitement was in no way discounted.

Zhong Nanshan!

Ancient Tomb School!

Little Dragon Maiden!

Chu Kuang's world of martial heroes was still as dreamy and beautiful, yet carried a brutal attraction!

And Yang Guo, the protagonist, although the son of Yang Kang, didn't elicit the expected aversion at all, instead capturing Ol' Xiong's empathy and pity from his very first appearance:

Ol' Xiong analyzed quietly:

"With a completely different personality from Guo Jing, this Yang Guo has a cleverness about him, even somewhat reminiscent of Huang Rong when she first appeared in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, so appealing at a glance that one instantly loves him. Perhaps more appealing than the young Guo Jing by a notch. Could Huang Rong's dislike for Yang Guo, aside from the reason of Yang Kang, also be related to this cleverness Yang Guo possesses?"

He sighed internally.

Ol' Xiong finally understood why Jin Mu told Chu Kuang not to change the plot.

It must be because of Huang Rong.

Perhaps that old rascal was worried that the Fantasy Editorial Department might be discontent with his re-portrayal of Huang Rong?

What was the need?

In the Fantasy Department, and even the whole of Silver Blue Books or the entire novel circle, who dared to tell Chu Kuang what to do?

Who dared to guide Chu Kuang on writing?

Except for that time with Sherlock Holmes when Xian Yu spoke up, when had this old rascal truly altered his storyline and settings?

Moreover.

The beauty of Huang Rong was already fully showcased in the previous novel.

The protagonist of this novel was Yang Guo.

A new generation, a new story of the martial heroes!

Although readers would definitely be discontented with the changes in Huang Rong, considering Chu Kuang's previous notorious records, what did this level of heartache count for?

Netizens weren't wrong:

Having read so many of Chu Kuang's novels, everyone's resistance was maxed out.

Even if he caused more trouble, everyone would just lightly laugh it off, as long as the plot itself remained exciting.

Moreover, although Huang Rong became a regret, Little Dragon Maiden had entered the scene!

Ol' Xiong originally thought it would be difficult for Chu Kuang's new book to create a matchless character like Huang Rong, but Little Dragon Maiden's debut was just as impressive as the reception Huang Rong initially brought!

This new character was incredibly appealing!

Not only was the character setting free of any redundancy, but her charm was also not lacking at all!

Huang Rong was a woman with the aura of worldly concerns, her peerless intelligence and beauty complemented her charm!

Little Dragon Maiden, however, was a woman without the traces of worldly life, naive and seemed like a banished immortal, with an indescribable innocence and allure!

Compared to Huang Rong, each had their own merits!

Perhaps the outline of this book is already subtly revealed!

Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden, seemingly mentor and disciple, yet the future holds many possibilities.

Ol' Xiong hadn't read further yet his thoughts were already running wild, "I have to say, when Chu Kuang seriously writes about women, he truly has a knack for it. JingRong, the national couple, might just meet their match. If Little Dragon Maiden isn't the female lead, I might consider sending Chu Kuang razor blades again. Although after that last event on the blog, all of us at Silver Blue secretly sent him razor blades, I even borrowed family accounts to send some more, he wouldn't know anyway..."

He didn't think further.

Ol' Xiong continued reading.

The plot was extremely compelling.

Even more addictive than The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Ol' Xiong was eager to know Yang Guo's future destiny.

And this driving force for reading was precisely the basis that allows a novel to become hugely popular.

Ol' Xiong seemed to see a glimpse of the future where The Return of the Condor Heroes would triumph!

However.

Just as Ol' Xiong excitedly opened the next chapter.

Boom!

The Dragon Rider arrived!

Ol' Xiong felt as if struck by lightning, his smile instantly vanished, his face turned pale instantly!

Subsequently.

A roar filled with grief and extreme pain suddenly exploded in Silver Blue Books, frightening all the major editorial departments:

"Chu Kuang, you old rascal, die!"

In that moment, there was no light in Ol' Xiong's eyes.
