Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 553

Chapter 551: Fake Becomes Real

Ultimately, the director went through the script with Jiang Li, telling him that the emperor wasn’t that strong, and that this story was meant to teach the princes that unity is strength.

“Speaking of which, you’re quite strong. You look so skinny, I wouldn’t have thought you could break fifty chopsticks.”

“After a few years of training, I’m confident in my strength,” Jiang Li patted his chest.

Ultimately, the second act was approved according to the director’s script.

“In the third act, the emperor attends court and sends the hero to investigate the drought in the south and the whereabouts of the court’s funds.”

“Who’s the hero?” Jiang Li asked Wen Qing’er, leaning over.

“It’s Zhao Minghan, a professional singer. This is his first TV series, and he’s looking to transition into a new role. However, he’s currently on a national tour, which conflicts with his acting schedule. He just happened to be here on tour so

he came to film.” “Zhao Minghan wants to film the scenes without him first, and then come back after his tour is over.”

“Will the director listen?”

“He’ll pay for everything.”

“Where’s Zhao Minghan?” The director was very pleased with Jiang Li’s acting, but only when the lead actor needed to appear did he remember that Jiang Li wasn’t the lead.

A black car sped up, braked suddenly, and stopped at the door. A handsome male star got out and hurried over.

“A fan recognized me on the way and blocked traffic,” Zhao Minghan explained casually, not feeling guilty about being late. The makeup artist wanted to apply his makeup, but was stopped by his bodyguard.

“Sorry, I have a professional makeup artist.” Zhao Minghan asked the makeup artist he brought with him to apply his makeup.

“And where’s he?”

“He’s behind my car. He’ll be there in two minutes.”

The director was helpless with Zhao Minghan’s attitude. What could he say to the investor?

Fortunately, Zhao Minghan not only possesses wealth but also acting talent. Kneeling in the palace, he kowtowed to the Emperor, thanking him for the important task, and perfectly portrayed the trepidation of meeting the Emperor.

His expression of being honored as he left the palace, his transition from nervousness to relaxation, was truly breathtaking.

“Zhao Minghan’s acting has improved!” the director marveled. The reaction was so genuine, it felt almost real.

The assistant director looked at the smiling Emperor, who seemed to be in complete control, then glanced at Zhao Minghan, whose legs were still trembling, and whispered, “Is it possible that this isn’t just acting?”

The third act concluded successfully.

“Act Four: The Emperor is assassinated and falls into a coma, causing chaos at court. Zhao Minghan has no support during his southern journey.”

“You seek to unify the Central Plains and become its ruler. The surrounding smaller nations view you as their greatest threat. The assassin is sent by an enemy nation, hoping to assassinate you by offering you the map. When the map is revealed, the dagger will be revealed, and the guards will be unable to rescue you. You’ll run around the pillars, but the assassin will still succeed. However, the assassin won’t succeed; you’ll simply be unconscious for a while.”

“This is a plasma pack. When the assassin stabs you, it will explode. You’ll clutch your chest, stumble a few steps, and fall to the ground.”

“I’ve got this.”

…

The assassin, posing as an envoy, presents the map to Jiang Li. The courtiers are delighted, believing it a testament to the nation’s strength.

“Your Majesty, please look! This is our map. The city defenses are depicted in detail here,” the assassin pretentiously explains.

The map unfolds to the end, revealing a poisoned dagger.

The assassin suddenly grabbed Jiang Li’s sleeve with a dagger, and stabbed him.

Jiang Li was horrified and struggled to his feet, but

the dagger only ripped his sleeve. Jiang Li tried to draw his sword, but it was stuck in its scabbard and could not be pulled out.

“You tyrant, die!”

The assassin came here with the intention of dying together. After failing to hit Jiang Li with his first strike, he continued to stab Jiang Li.

The court was in chaos. Jiang Li ran around the pillar, and the assassin was in hot pursuit.

Jiang Li ran so fast that he ran directly behind the assassin and kindly patted him on the shoulder.

The assassin stabbed back, but found that the man’s body was like an iron wall, and the dagger could not penetrate.

His dagger was real, and it was filled with a deadly poison that killed the emperor instantly!

The assassin wanted to make a real move and kill the emperor.

There were many ways to kill people, but his favorite was to do it in public, so that everyone would think he was acting, but he was actually killing someone.

Jiang Li vomited blood, leaned over to the assassin’s ear, and whispered: “After refining the dagger? Becoming stronger by killing people, are you a cultivator of the magic way?”

Jiang Li agreed to act, only half because he thought it was fun, and a small part because he could see that the actor pretending to be an assassin really wanted to kill people.

He was acting while trying to stop the assassin from killing people. He felt that he was working too hard. He was so

tired that he couldn’t close his mouth.

The assassin was scared. This dagger was a magic treasure. Not to mention killing people, it could even cut off an elephant’s head. But the dagger he was proud of couldn’t even penetrate the opponent’s skin.

The assassin quickly fled the scene. Jiang Li fell to the ground according to the script. A group of imperial doctors came to treat Jiang Li.

At the same time, Wen Quan, under the command of Taoist Huiming, tracked down the assassin.

…

“Your acting is really great, but it’s a pity that the script has already been finalized and we can’t give you more roles. If you appear too many times, you will steal the limelight from the male lead.”

“If it weren’t for this, I would at least give you more roles.”

“So, do you have any acting ideas? I haven’t played the emperor in any of my plays recently, but I know a few people who can play the role of the emperor well. Do you want to go?”

The director seemed to have discovered a treasure and wanted to let Jiang Li show his talent in the entertainment industry.

“No, acting is just a hobby. I still have work to do.”

“What do you do?”

“Human Emperor.”

“Hmm?”

…

The assassin ran breathlessly. He had infiltrated the crew intending to kill someone and escape, but he hadn’t expected to run into such a tough opponent.

Even after his escape, the Dog Emperor’s companions were hot on his

heels. What bad luck!

“You really think I’m afraid of you!” the assassin raged, slashing back with his dagger.

“Breaking Formation Fist!”

Wen Quan punched the man’s wrist, knocking the dagger away.

“…Okay, I’m afraid of you,”

the assassin continued to flee in fear.

Just then, a graceful figure appeared in front of the assassin and subdued him.

“We’ve been following you all the way from the Destruction Alliance, and we finally caught you!”

A Nascent Soul soul appeared behind the assassin, and behind the beautiful figure appeared a Fusion Soul soul.

The Fusion Soul subdued the Nascent Soul soul in the same manner as the beautiful figure had subdued the assassin.

In terms of cultivation, the assassin was inferior to the beautiful figure, and in terms of trump cards, he was equally inferior to the beautiful figure.

“Who are you?” Wen Quan rushed over.

“My name is Qin Yi, and I’m a member of the Mutual Aid Association. Judging from your appearance, you should also have a soul from the Jingyu world within you, and you’re a righteous cultivator. Our Mutual Aid Association is made up of people like you. What level of cultivation is your soul?”

“Tribulation Crossing Stage.”

“I have a Mahayana stage soul within me.” Jiang Li came here after filming his scenes.

“…Do you think I’m stupid?”
