Infinite Professions-Chapter 115 - 39: Hot Topic

"You... ruthless!"

Watching the artificial elf with a warning hidden beneath its smile, Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to swallow his pride.

But he was unwilling to accept such a result, especially after paying a compensation of 100,000 and an additional 10,000 for the replay footage.

"I want to purchase the rights to the replay and report this on the forum. I refuse to believe he wasn’t cheating. Your review must have problems!"

Furious, Qin Chuan turned around and directly purchased the rights to the replay from the system.

The result was that...

"Due to the winner’s settings, purchasing the rights to the replay requires paying a fee one hundred times the challenge amount. Would you like to proceed?"

"..."

Faced with the system’s prompt, Qin Chuan once again fell silent, but soon gritted his teeth again: "I’ll buy it!!!"

Although he considered himself a corporate slave, as a Tier Three Professional, he could still scrape together one to two million.

Enduring the pain, he purchased the rights to the combat replay, and without paying attention to the smiling artificial elf, Qin Chuan exited the room and angrily logged onto the Divine Martial Battle Net forum.

"Shocking, a cheating player appeared on Divine Martial Battle Net, a Tier Two Level One instantly kills a Tier Three Level Nine. Everyone, please uphold justice and fight against cheating, as it’s everyone’s responsibility!"

He came up with an eye-catching title, then uploaded the combat replay along with the basic content, and began waiting for the results.

It wasn’t long before the post received replies, but the content greatly annoyed Qin Chuan.

"Although I knew it was clickbait, I still clicked in!"

"In this day and age, cheating still exists? This is the Divine Martial Battle Net. Besides some special professions, who can cheat here?"

"Exactly, do you think it’s like tens of thousands of years ago? This Divine Martial Battle Net is the Empire’s largest martial combat platform, and its core, Divine Martial Celestial Secret, is one of the Empire’s super intelligent minds. Who can cheat under its supervision?"

"Noob, practice more!"

"Don’t just criticize, take a look at the combat replay first. The original poster’s concerns are understandable."

"Oh my, what kind of beast is this, a Tier Two Level One instantly kills a Tier Three Level Nine?"

"Is this speed something a Tier Two Martial Artist can have?"

"Could it really be cheating?"

"Or did he use some secret technique?"

"Hold on, I’ll get a few experts to come and take a look."

"There’s definitely something wrong here!"

Most of the replies at the top were disdain toward his clickbait title.

Fortunately, as the replay played, the replies became more serious, and the post’s views continued to increase, eventually even becoming a small hit on Divine Martial Battle Net.

Before long, it attracted such a reply.

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge: "He wasn’t cheating."

"Battle.net Master of All Knowledge?"

Seeing the username, Qin Chuan was startled. This was a somewhat famous commentary streamer on Divine Martial Battle Net. He immediately asked: "Then what about his speed?"

The Master of All Knowledge didn’t hide it: "His Xingyi Fist Skill has at least been trained to the Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing or even the Peak of Perfection level, allowing him to freely wield human force, including Martial Arts Gang Qi. With this, he concentrated his Gang Qi instantly to gain power comparable to Gang Yuan, thus defeating you with one strike—it’s that simple."

"This..."

"Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing?"

"Peak of Perfection?"

Qin Chuan stood frozen, not believing it for a long time: "But he’s only Tier Two."

"So what if he’s Tier Two?"

The Master of All Knowledge calmly replied: "Is this world lacking geniuses?"

"..."

A calm statement left Qin Chuan in silence. After a moment, he quietly edited his post.

But as soon as one post went silent, another took its place.

"Defying the Heavens, Tier Two instant kills Tier Three, a cheating player suddenly appears on Divine Martial Battle Net!"

"Shocking, Cyan Dragon Little Overlord encountered a cheating player, Tier Three against Tier Two and was defeated in one move."

"Terrifying, popular streamer Red Flame Fairy encountered a mysterious expert, Tier Three Level Nine couldn’t last three moves against Tier Two Level One, and suffered a crushing defeat."

"Report, someone is cheating, someone is cheating!"

"..."

A lot of "cheating report posts" appeared, generating quite a bit of heat.

"Hello everyone, I’m Master of All Knowledge, welcome to today’s Battle of Knowledge Discussion show."

In the live stream, a well-groomed young man faced the audience: "This time, regarding the recent trending cheating incident, our Battle of Knowledge Discussion has spent a lot of money purchasing rights to several battle videos. Let’s watch them first, and then we’ll discuss."

"Finally been waiting for you?"

"I’ve checked, that guy’s totally a cheater!"

"A Tier Two against a Tier Three, it’s one thing to beat those unknown rookies, but to one-shot Cyan Dragon Little Overlord?"

"Everyone knows, Cyan Dragon Little Overlord comes from a renowned Xingyi family, both his father and grandfather are high-ranking members of Xingyi Martial Mansion, and he himself is a Xingyi Fist Skill prodigy. Not only did he step into Martial Arts Third Tier at a young age, he also trained his Xingyi Fist Skill to the Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing level. Even among top-tier geniuses of the same grade, defeating him is extremely difficult, yet Wu Wudi can one-shot him?"

"If this isn’t cheating, what is?"

"It’s not just Cyan Dragon Little Overlord, even the Red Flame Fairy couldn’t withstand three moves. You must know she has the Jade Spirit Fire Body, which is not like Professional Talent; it can’t be simulated. This Jade Spirit Fire Body, combined with her cultivation of the Great Sun Burning Technique, is more like cultivating immortality than martial arts. Even so, she couldn’t withstand three moves from him; is this a joke?"

"He must be cheating, and even if he’s not cheating, he must be associated with a profession related to network battles with special talents to exploit."

In the live stream, people were talking all at once, most viewpoints were similar.

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge just smiled without speaking, watching a few clips he had spent a fortune on.

Because most of the clips were one-shots or battles that ended in a few moves, these combat videos bought for millions played for only a few minutes.

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge didn’t rush to explain, instead invited a few "co-stream" hosts to the stage.

"Xiaoqing, hello, welcome to our Master of All Knowledge Battle Analysis show!"

"Hello, Brother Knowledge, it’s an honor to meet everyone on the Master of All Knowledge Battle Analysis!"

The atmosphere got even livelier when a few youthful and pretty female hosts took the stage.

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge seized the moment and asked them, "You all are well-known analysts on Battle.net, in your view, did this player claiming to be Wu Wudi really cheat?"

"Cheating is certainly impossible."

The female host named Xiaoqing chuckled, "With Divine Martial Core supervision, even if the opponent had any related professional talent or skills affecting the battle, it would be detected by Divine Martial monitoring and marked as an unconventional player. Since there has been no such marking in so many battles, he clearly didn’t cheat."

"Well said!"

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge nodded, "The supervision of Divine Martial Core can certainly be trusted, and this player truly didn’t cheat."

Xiaoqing skillfully took over the conversation, "So why could he battle beyond his tier, and his opponents were well-known Battle.net hosts, including exceptional talents like Red Flame Fairy?"

"Because he’s a genius, a true genius—no, a Martial Dao prodigy!"

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge said with a deep voice, then turned to the crowd, raising his hand to analyze.

"It’s been stated before that his major asset in battling beyond his tier is his cultivation of Xingyi Fist Skill, which reached the Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing and even Peak of Perfection levels, allowing him to instantly consolidate Gang Qi, transforming it into Gang Yuan, thus letting him match Tier Three Martial Artists as a Tier Two."

"But that’s not the main thing; the main thing is his understanding of martial arts and control of combat; he precisely sees through the opponent and their martial arts, right at the moment both sides make their initial moves."

"Seeing through the opponent, spotting the flaw, then striking swiftly like thunder, hitting the vital point."

"Take the fight against Cyan Dragon Little Overlord; he used Dragon Subduing Palm Technique from Xingyi Fist Skill. Although he had reached Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing levels, he hadn’t reached Peak of Perfection, hence there was a tiny flaw during his power exertion."

"He seized that flaw and struck with a more vigorous Palm Skill, thus ending the fight in a single move."

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge said with a deep voice, "It’s as if he’s been steeped in martial arts, martial techniques, and Martial Dao for hundreds or thousands of years, not just learning, not just training, but incorporating real combat, thus combining knowledge and practice to chew over, digest, absorb, and ultimately master it."

"Peak of Perfection, transcendence!"

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge took a deep breath and made this conclusion, "He shouldn’t just be a Tier Two Martial Artist; he’s at least Tier Four and Tier Five, or even Tier Six and Tier Seven, immersed continuously sharpening, hundreds or thousands of years to reach such a realm."

"This...?"

"Really?"

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"So he’s a big-shot, coming to a small pond to stir things up?"

"Bah, an old guy, shamelessly stealing money from the young!"

"No wonder he dared to use the name Wu Wudi."

"Isn’t there any senior to take him down a notch?"

After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

But soon there were questioning voices.

"Wait, if he’s an expert of Tier Five or Tier Six, then how did he get a Tier Two rank on Battle.net, does Divine Martial Battle Net even have a downgrade feature?"

"Not at all, Divine Martial Battle Net can only upgrade, not downgrade—his level should have been scanned from his physical body, but how did a Tier Two Martial Artist achieve such terrifying Martial Dao prowess?"

"Must be some special profession or talent?"

"I think so; otherwise, it doesn’t make sense!"

"Damn it, this world really isn’t fair; everyone practices martial arts, why can he train to such an insane level?"

Everyone was discussing and speculating in surprise and doubt.

At this moment...

"Hmm!?"

Battle.net Master of All Knowledge’s eyes tightened, then looked up at everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve just received news: Feihong Sword Young Master, ranked ninth on the Tier Two leaderboard, and Wine Immortal, ranked seventy-fifth on the Tier Three leaderboard, have simultaneously challenged Wu Wudi. Interested friends can head over to watch immediately, and our analysis show team will also be going to explain!"

Having said that, he stood up and quickly left with a few guest female hosts.
