Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 442 - 180: The Transcendent Path, Starts Today_5
He just responded with a lukewarm "Oh."
Then he said to everyone, "If you want to contact Zhang Beixing, private message me."
With that, the video conference came to an end.
Huo Honghao hung up the phone, stepped out of the office, and prepared to find Zhang Beixing to talk about the matters of the various military regions. Coincidentally, Zhang Beixing also had something to discuss with Huo Honghao at that moment.
"Brother Huo, I’m planning to leave for a while!"
Zhang Beixing looked at Huo Honghao and voiced his inner thoughts.
Hearing his words, Huo Honghao was startled. "Why, Brother Zhang, why suddenly leave for a while? Is it because these little bastards aren’t cooperating with you, making you unhappy?"
"Quite the opposite; they’re very cooperative with my training and are doing well."
"Then why..."
"This is a personal reason. I want to break through myself, and it just so happens that I’ve taught all I should by now. I figured they were also tired after all this time, so I’m giving them a break to mix work with rest and to consolidate. When I return, I’ll move on to the second phase of training for them!"
Zhang Beixing honestly expressed his situation.
Upon learning that Zhang Beixing’s departure wasn’t caused by his own people, Huo Honghao finally relaxed.
He had gone to great lengths to get Zhang Beixing to come over as an instructor. If these young punks had caused a mess, he would have torn them to pieces!
Then, Huo Honghao remembered Zhang Beixing mentioning that he wanted to challenge himself.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Zhang, what’s this breakthrough you’re talking about?"
You’re already so strong; do you still need to break through yourself? A Great Grandmaster should have reached the limit, right?
Huo Honghao was puzzled.
To this, Zhang Beixing didn’t hide anything; he spoke forthrightly, "Oizaki’s Eight Challenges! My main job is a Douyin blogger, and I’m known for taking advice. Then, my followers suggested that I should try this thing. It just so happens I feel I’ve reached my limit, so I figured I’d challenge it and break through myself!"
"???"
Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Huo Honghao was completely baffled.
"Hold on a sec, Brother Zhang."
"What did you just say?"
"Challenging Oizaki’s Eight Challenges?"
Huo Honghao, looking completely puzzled, stopped Zhang Beixing, who was about to walk out after dropping this bombshell.
"Yeah!" Zhang Beixing nodded.
Huo Honghao suddenly took in a sharp breath!
He wasn’t some old fogey who didn’t understand anything; he surfed the internet.
So he knew very well just how difficult the much-revered Oizaki’s Eight Challenges by internet users really were.
This challenge is purely for experts on the border between life and death.
It’s fabricated by human imagination, existing only in movies and TV shows, but in reality, no one has ever succeeded—it’s not something humans can achieve!
And now, Zhang Beixing was saying he was going to attempt it.
"Unless I’m remembering incorrectly, isn’t that thing abroad? Aren’t you worried about getting into trouble going overseas now? And why are you even bothering with this thing?" Huo Honghao asked, not understanding.
"Because I want to achieve Inquiring about the Dao and break through myself. As for the location, I’ve already modified it to be in China," Zhang Beixing replied.
Huo Honghao’s eyelid twitched. "Beixing, maybe you should reconsider this?"
As Zhang Beixing’s friend, Huo Honghao felt it was his duty to persuade Zhang Beixing to give up this crazy idea.
To this, Zhang Beixing simply waved a dismissive hand. "No need, I know what I’m doing!"
This isn’t about whether you know what you’re doing or not, alright?!
Huo Honghao couldn’t help but roar internally.
But seeing Zhang Beixing’s determined look, he knew that once Zhang Beixing set his mind on something, not even a hundred bulls could stop him—they would end up being dragged along instead.
Huo Honghao could only sigh in the end.
Opting for the next best thing, he looked at Zhang Beixing and asked, "So where is your first stop?"
His reasoning was simple. If he couldn’t stop Zhang Beixing, he might as well support him.
Huo Honghao didn’t dare guarantee that with his help, Zhang Beixing could definitely succeed or anything like that.
But he could at least ensure Zhang Beixing’s safety to the fullest extent.
Sensing his thoughts, Zhang Beixing responded to Huo Honghao’s inquiry, "Shishi!"
Oizaki’s Eight Challenges, presented in movies as a test to challenge the human body’s Physical Limit. Its eight challenges are: Emergence of Strength, Celestial Descent, Earth’s Awakening, Life of Water, Movement of Wind, Solidification of Ice, Master of Life, and the ultimate test of trust, Final Faith. Each of these challenges corresponds to a different extreme sport and extreme environment.
If all this hadn’t occurred before the Black Ghost incident, Zhang Beixing might have gone with the original plan to complete it. Unfortunately for him, the suggested task came after he had offended all those Black Ghosts and when all his attributes had been raised to 110! By that time, he had indeed surpassed Human limitations.
Completing the original Oizaki’s Eight Challenges wouldn’t have much significance for him, with the difficulty not particularly high – at most, it would simply be a bit thrilling for him, like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park.
After all, his true goal was Inquiring about the Dao.
Inquiring about the Dao was the key to transcending to the Transcendent, and even the modified Oizaki’s Eight Challenges were just auxiliary means.
Everything was for the sake of completing Inquiring about the Dao!
The reason for using the methods of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges was because they were sufficiently straightforward and brutal, very suitable, and ready-made. There was no need for Zhang Beixing to rack his brains further to find ways to trigger Inquiring about the Dao. Therefore, Oizaki’s Eight Challenges didn’t play a critically important role in breaking through to the Transcendent realm. The true core was still Inquiring about the Dao!
