Chapter 1823


    “Outsiders would assume that Dragon Master''s Operation Aze was for his own benefit. On the


    contrary, he actuallyunched that for the martial arts world,” Han murmured.


    Even he felt injustice for Ye Fan. Was it worth his effort?


    Ye Fan had been the most warm-hearted and sincere person he had ever met. As such, it was sad


    for Han to see him ending up in such a forsaken way after his glory.


    It was unfortunate, but no one could be med.


    War God Castle wasn''t obligated to shelter him, and it was understandable that the fighters of


    China''s martial arts world wouldn''t risk going against Chu Sect to protect him.


    They doused their ember, indicating that they were not in any way acquainted with Ye Fan anymore.


    Simrly, Han was devoid of hope and permanently deleted his ount under the name Mortal


    Spark.


    His ten years of unconditional support for Ye Fan ended on this very day.


    With that, Mortal Spark would cease to exist from now on.


    Han took ast nce at the ount which Ye Fan had poured his time and efforts into.


    On the ount''s main page, there was a string of words left by Ye Fan: With high hopes, all fighters


    of China will be top-notch!


    This particr martial artist forum drew in thousands of visitors on a daily basis.


    It was only natural that such arge amount of fighters were drawn to it since Mortal Spark, a highly


    revered mentor, was the moderator.


    Meanwhile in Jiangbei, Livingsfill, Lu Ziming was just starting up hisputer so that he could log


    into the Martial Artist Forum and acquire the second stage of Lightning Maneuver.


    Lightning Maneuverwas one of the three main martial arts skills shared by Mortal Spark.


    Ye Qingtian had dered it to be the most lethal attack of all.


    Since the advent of this skill, the martial arts world regarded it as the epitome of martial arts, and all


    practitioners were required to learn it.


    Not only were the martial art giants crazy about it, but ordinary martial artists, too, trained rigorously


    to acquire the skill.


    What was more, some well-established martial artists even got rid of the martial prowess they once


    acquired in order to rebuild their foundation using this technique. They had to practically start from


    zero!


    In the martial arts world, there was no such thing as dropping a technique and swerving to another


    after one had decided which path they were going to take.


    The only way to do that was to go back to square one.


    “Who would''ve thought that Chu Tianfan was actually Ye Fan? Maybe that was why he was so


    imperious? He even had the guts to annihte the Lu n and brush Sword Saint off. Well, too bad


    he killed himself in the end. He was lucky that he got an easy way out.”


    Lu Zimingwastalkingto himself while waitingfor theputer''s system tounch.


    Years ago, Ye Fan wiped his family out, and his only son was among the perished.


    On the night his son, Lu Hua, was shot dead, Lu Ziming returned to Livingsfill, got rid of his martial


    prowess, and started his new cultivation.


    He was cultivating Lightning Maneuver, which War God highly redited.


    Mortal Spark is known as the most mysterious virtuoso in China''s martial arts world.I''ve been


    cultivating the techniques he had shared, and he never shied away from answering my queries.lt


    was in to see that I''ve improved by leaps and bounds within a few years. I may not be a


    Grandmaster yet, but with this powerful technique, I might have the capabilities to defeat one.All I''m


    hoping for now is for Mortal Spark to reveal the techniques for the third level.Once I''ve mastered the


    third stage of Lightning Maneuver, I will no doubt attain the Grandmaster stage!


    After going through the probable oue in his head, Lu Ziming sighed.


    After all, he had pushed himself to cultivate this technique so that he could take revenge on Ye Fan.


    Now that Ye Fan was dead, Lu Ziming questioned his


    decision. What was all the effort for?


    “Right. Ye Fan is dead, but not his friends and family. He destroyed the Lu n, so now it''s my turn


    to burn his empire down! Yes, I have to persist and continue my cultivation. Once I''m a


    Grandmaster and have attained the Supreme stage, I shall intrude Jiangdong. Since Ye Fan is


    dead, his friends and family in Jiangdong shall pay the price on his behalf!”


    Lu Ziming found his source of motivation again, and mes of hatred could be clearly seen in his


    eyes.


    After he logged into the forum, he clicked on his chatbox and opened the chat with Mortal Spark.


    He wrote: Mortal Spark, I''ve basically mastered the second stage of Lightning Maneuver. I still have


    some questions about it, though, and was hoping that you could answer them.


    Lu Ziming hit the send button afterposing his message.


    “Hm? What''s wrong? Why can''t my message be sent?”


    Lu Ziming was slightly perturbed, thinking that it had something to do with the inte connection.


    He tried sending the message a few more times but to no


    avail.


    Confused, he went to Mortal Spark''s homepage.


    To his horror, it was a nk space, and there was a message: The ount has been


    deleted.What? The ount no longer exists?


    Lu Ziming was about to go off his rocker.


    Immediately, he created a post about the matter.


    Very soon, the news of Mortal Spark pulling himself out of the forum spread like wildfire. All of


    China''s martial artists were shocked to the core.


    Someone wrote: What is going on? Why did Mortal Spark delete his ount?


    Anothermented: What should we do? Who will guide us in our cultivations for the days to


    come?


    Someone else questioned: What about those supreme techniques? The Lightning Maneuver was


    only introduced up to the second stage.


    Another person wrote: The Mountain And River de technique was only updated up to the fourth


    stage.


    Onement read: Oh no! There is no hope for martial arts in China anymore...


    Mortal Spark''s unannounced departure from the forum was like a bolt in the blue, and it shook up


    the entire martial arts world.


    Thousands of martial artists were losing their grip on reality.


    When Ye Fan was gone, most of them merely felt pity for his sudden demise.


    After all, they weren''t at all close to Ye Fan. Besides, his reputation in China''s martial arts world was


    nothing to boast about.


    Not only did Jiangbei''s martial arts world resent him, but War God Castle also deemed him a threat


    to its existence.


    To many people, perhaps Ye Fan''s downfall was something worth celebrating.


    However, Mortal Spark deleting his own ount was a different story.


    After all, this affected the personal benefits of countless people.


    It was especially devastating to martial artists who had rid themselves of their initial martial art


    prowess to learn a new technique from the basics. The ones who made their offspring cultivate


    since a young age, too, were on tenterhooks.


    Without Mortal Spark, those legendary martial arts and techniques woulde to an end.


    How was everyone going to cultivate from now on?


    Instantly, China''s martial arts world was in absolute chaos.


    Even the Hall Masters of War God Castle were heavily ruffled.


    “I wonder what has gotten into Mortal Spark?”


    “Why did he suddenly deactivate his ount?”


    “Is he really going to dispose of his ount that he had been running for ten years?”


    “Only one-third of that Book of Fist Techniques was updated right?” “But I was thinking of continuing


    my cultivation.”


    “Not only that, there are many more techniques that are yet to be updated.”


    “Is that it? No more updates?”


    King of Fighters, Mo Gucheng, was equally fretful when he knew of the shocking incident.


    Its ripple effect was far beyond what one would have imagined and had stretched its impact to the


    martial arts world.


    Before this, Sword Saint and the rest were expecting China''s martial arts world to flourish and


    prosper within the next tens of years under Mortal Spark''s guidance.


    Now with Mortal Spark''s ount deleted, his hopes vanished into thin air.


    “Look for him! Use every resource we have to look for Mortal Spark!”


    The supreme grandmasters of War God Castle gave orders to give full measure in searching for this


    faceless maestro who had been secluding himself.


    While China''s martial arts world rumbled in a pandemonium, news of Ye Fan''s demise reached


    every corner of the globe.


    Martial artists around the world felt sorry and grief-stricken for his death.


    “Who knew someone so illustrious would have such a tragic ending?”


    “It''s sad, but that''s life. He had his good share of crowning moments, and things havee to an


    end now.”


    Many people were at sixes and sevens, but the majority of those, who knew about Ye Fan''s


    passing, was justmiserative. After all, they weren''t close to him, and there was no reason for


    them to be heartbroken for someone they barely had contact with.


    Except forthose in Jiangdong, China''s martial artists were mostly indifferent toward the bad news,


    let alone those in other nations.


    To them, new stars would rise after one dimmed its light, anyway.
