Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 415 - 174: The Might of the Great Grandmaster! The Universally Acknowledged Martial Ancestor, Zhang Beixing!_8
When this group heard this, they quickly shook their heads like rattle drums. Each and every one of them stepped back; none dared to take the stage, nor did they possess their earlier confidence.
"We’re not coming up! We concede! We’ve seen a Great Grandmaster!"
The ’Eight-Nation Alliance’ repeatedly clasped their fists in salute to show their respect.
"Yes, yes! We’ve seen the Great Grandmaster!"
Joking aside, now that a Great Grandmaster was involved, they didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell. It was true they wanted to cause trouble, but that was only if both sides were on equal footing! With Zhang Beixing as a Great Grandmaster, fighting them was like a father swatting his children! A single surge of his Core Energy was enough to sweep away all the Grandmasters; they weren’t even in the same league. They certainly weren’t going to engage in battle!
Seeing how timid these people were, Zhang Beixing felt extremely disappointed. He had hoped to seize this opportunity to demonstrate his self-created "Heaven and Earth Natural Technique" and to see what strengths and weaknesses his Ultimate Skill had in actual combat.
What a pity, what a pity! he sighed inwardly.
Lacking enthusiasm, Zhang Beixing stepped down from the platform, resigned to waiting for another opportunity to demonstrate his skills in the future.
WHOOSH!
Seeing him descend, the Martial Artists of Great Xia reacted instantly, swarming over to him, an overwhelming number of things they wanted to say. Their questions were simply too numerous!
How did Chen Rourou break through to become a Pseudo Grandmaster?
How did Zhang Beixing manage to shatter weapons in the blink of an eye?
And how did he break through to become a Great Grandmaster?
"Grandmaster Zhang, this injury on you, what happened? How did you get hurt?" Wu Yougui asked, looking puzzled at the deep, bone-visible wound on Zhang Beixing’s shoulder.
In response, Zhang Beixing didn’t hide anything. "I was shot on the way here," he said directly. "Hit by a bullet."
At this declaration, everyone was momentarily stunned. Then they remembered the several people who had accompanied Zhang Beixing when he arrived. They had initially paid them little mind, but recalling them now, those few individuals had an air about them that seemed... like plainclothes agents!
"Shot by a gun?" Wu Yougui said with dawning understanding, somewhat astonished. But then his old habit of engaging in mutual flattery and boasting kicked in, reminiscent of their first meeting with Zhang Beixing. He cleared his throat subtly and deliberately asked, "That must have been perilous! How did you dodge it? Logically speaking, even a Great Grandmaster can’t withstand firearms."
Zhang Beixing waved his hand and said offhandedly, "I had a premonition before he acted and luckily dodged it. It was indeed perilous, but fortunately, I’m quite sensitive."
These two, with their call-and-response, are damn good at showing off! everyone thought, criticizing him internally. Yet, they said nothing, because physically dodging a bullet, even if it was luck, was indeed something to boast about! If it were them, they’d boast about it for a lifetime. They were also secretly amazed.
"To detect and foresee danger in advance, and then dodge it—is this perhaps the unique technique of Great Grandmasters: ’Not a Feather Added, No Insect can Land’?"
"Huh? Isn’t that just good luck? What does that have to do with this?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
At this moment, a Grandmaster from Dragon Tiger Mountain stepped forward, earnestly explaining, "It refers to the sensitivity and reaction derived from experiencing one’s own body’s weight distribution—’Not a Feather Added, No Insect can Land.’ The more sensitive this feeling, the greater the degree of relaxation throughout your body. As external forces, the ’landing point’ of a ’feather’ or an ’insect’ is one’s own body, and to feel them is a reaction of consciousness."
"In other words, a preternatural sense of impending crisis is one of the characteristic traits of a Great Grandmaster’s realm; it’s profoundly mystical. It’s no longer confined to the physical body but elevates to the spiritual level. Both body and spirit simultaneously perceive the various changes in their surroundings, allowing for preemptive judgment!"
"Wow, so that’s how it is!"
"Is this what a Great Grandmaster is? So terrifying!"
"..."
People murmured among themselves, their gazes towards Zhang Beixing filled with even greater reverence. The abilities of a Great Grandmaster were indeed extraordinary!
It was actually from the explanation of the Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain that I understood the state I’d been in—it was ’Not a Feather Added, No Insect can Land.’ No wonder! Zhang Beixing realized.
"So, Beixing," Liu Yi finally managed to squeeze up to Zhang Beixing, bringing Chen Rourou with him as he asked, "did you also cause Rourou to suddenly master Hidden Force and break through to Pseudo Grandmaster?"
As these words were spoken, others leaned in to listen, equally curious about this matter.
"Correct," Zhang Beixing did not conceal anything, explaining honestly with a casual wave of his hand and a smile. "My Core Energy has slightly mutated; I can control it to leave my body and enter another’s, guiding their Vital Energy. Thus, I can help others stimulate their Hidden Force into existence. Ahem, they are just minor tricks, not worth mentioning. I’m still not very proficient; I can only catalyze Pseudo Grandmasters en masse for now. Perhaps later I could catalyze Grandmasters?"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent. Everyone was dumbstruck; they had never heard of such an ability. Even ancient Great Grandmasters like Zhang Sanfeng and Bodhidharma didn’t possess this skill!
What on earth is this?
And you call helping people directly master Hidden Force and break through to Pseudo Grandmaster ’minor tricks’? Not worth mentioning?
Do you even hear what you’re saying?!
Before this, mastering Hidden Force was only possible through slow, cumulative practice; any shortcut was a dead end. Hence, Pseudo Grandmasters tended to be older, generally over forty. Now, Zhang Beixing had actually shattered this common knowledge, carving out a viable path where previously there was only a dead end! He had greatly reduced the time and difficulty of becoming a Pseudo Grandmaster!
In other words, from now on, as long as you practiced your Martial Arts well, built a strong foundation, and accumulated a certain level of skill, you could just seek help from Great Grandmaster Zhang Beixing, and you would be guaranteed to reach the Pseudo Grandmaster realm!
What did that imply?
It meant mass-producing soldiers! And super-soldiers, at that!
And the key was, Zhang Beixing mentioned that he might even be able to catalyze Grandmasters in the future?
Damn!
Are you planning to ride the wind and soar ninety thousand li into the sky?
It’s no exaggeration to say that once this news spread, from this day forward, the landscape of the Great Xia Martial Arts world, and even the global Martial Arts scene, would be transformed! Because who wouldn’t want to master Hidden Force and become a Pseudo Grandmaster?
And Zhang Beixing, with this capability, could become the sole Martial Ancestor in the history of the Great Xia Martial Arts community, leaving an incredibly significant mark in both the annals of Great Xia Martial Arts and even the formal history of Great Xia!
They had already envisioned the content for the historians:
"In late autumn of 2018, as winter approached, after six months, Martial Ancestor Zhang Beixing advanced to Great Grandmaster. From then on, the stagnant Martial Arts of Great Xia entered its most prosperous era ever. His achievements surpassed all from the past, with no one to follow!"
"A new era has thus unfolded!"
