Chapter 277: Chapter 153: Video Trends, Martial Artists Pay Respect to Grandmaster Zhang_3

”What, this happened too? Then I must click in and judge for myself!”

”Judgment +1! I really want to see what kind of person can actually subdue a tiger!”

”...”

In the comment section of ”Beautiful Yiling,” netizens chattered, expressing their astonishment and disbelief after seeing the interview. This curiosity was amplified because three news outlets were reporting the same story with the same interviewee. Coupled with the news previously released by the official Yiling Forestry Bureau, many became intrigued by the man who had been involved in the tiger-taming incident and subdued the tiger. Thus, after some prompting from others, they clicked on Zhang Beixing’s homepage via the tag in the post title.

They discovered this tiger-taming man was actually a minor internet celebrity. Despite having posted only a few martial arts training videos, he had already amassed two hundred thousand followers. This discovery only fueled their curiosity about Zhang Beixing.

They clicked on the first video on Zhang Beixing’s homepage and started watching. Numerous comments scrolled across the screen.

”First! The missing person returns!”

”Grandpa, the creator you follow has finally updated!”

”Over a month, and you finally remembered your account password, huh? (smiling emoji)”

”Swipe past, swipe back... who is this??”

”Dude, are you standing next to me watching me browse Douyin?”

”If he hadn’t updated suddenly, I’d have forgotten I even followed this channel.”

Thanks to Zhang Beixing’s relatively large fanbase, his video garnered numerous comments in its first ten minutes. The comment section and bullet comments quickly filled with remarks—users checking in, claiming early spots, and teasing Zhang Beixing about his slow update speed.

However, more than this, many people focused on the content of Zhang Beixing’s video. For Zhang Beixing’s fans, he was currently the only creator they knew who actually listened to advice. His forte was authenticity; he dared to do whatever his fans suggested. Therefore, Zhang Beixing’s fans were curious about what this guy had been up to during his long hiatus and what big reveal he was preparing.

As for those drawn by the tiger-taming incident, their thoughts weren’t much different from Zhang Beixing’s fans, with one exception: some of them were there to find fault! After all, hearing out of the blue that a man had single-handedly fought a tiger and beaten it half to death would seem absurd to anyone. Yet, several media outlets were reporting it, none of them offering a dissenting view or raising questions, which felt surreal. Furthermore, Zhang Beixing’s pretentious and smug answers during the interview irked many people, making them feel off-balance.

Why is he so incredible? If he’s that incredible, doesn’t it just make us look like trash? Great Xia doesn’t allow such incredible individuals!

With this mindset, they came to find fault, wanting to see if Zhang Beixing truly possessed the strength to fight a tiger, as claimed in the interview.

And so they watched.

In the video, Zhang Beixing stood quietly, wearing the same clothes he had on during the interview. In front of him was a raging waterfall. The falling Lily Waters merged, forming a white curtain. The rushing sound of the Lily Waters filled the air.

Upon seeing this, some grew curious, wondering what Zhang Beixing was doing. Others were disdainful, believing he was just being deliberately mysterious.

Amid these varied reactions, the video continued. Zhang Beixing stood motionless for two seconds. Then, facing the waterfall, he slowly raised his hands, assuming the opening stance of the Yue Family’s punch sequence.

It might have been an illusion, but as soon as he struck the pose, the previously chaotic sound of the Lily Waters seemed to quiet down. Before anyone could comprehend this change in the sound of the Lily Waters,

”ROAR—!”

”BOOM!”

Zhang Beixing suddenly stomped his foot. He drew back and unleashed a punch, his fist carrying the roar of a tiger as it struck the white curtain of Lily Waters, sending spray everywhere.

With this punch, Zhang Beixing’s personal showtime officially began.

A dull drumming sound began, THUMP! THUMP! Paired with the faint sound of the Lily Waters, it inexplicably created an oppressive atmosphere.

”THUD!”

”ROAR—”

”BOOM!”

The video continued, the sounds of drums, a tiger’s roar, and exploding Lily Waters erupting simultaneously. Zhang Beixing aimed a ’Hungry Tiger Pounces on Prey’ at the white curtain of Lily Waters. Under his assault, the curtain of Lily Waters momentarily broke in several places.

Seeing this, the netizens were utterly aghast!

Just as they thought this was the extent of Zhang Beixing’s strength, a comment scrolled across the top of the video.

”Has anyone noticed something? From start to finish, when the creator is punching, his fists never actually hit the waterfall.”

Noticing this comment, those watching the video paused.

What the heck? From beginning to end, the creator’s fist never actually hit the waterfall? How is that possible? If his fist didn’t land on the waterfall, how did he make it explode? Are they trying to say we’re blind...

These people hadn’t finished their thought when, in the video, Zhang Beixing threw another punch.

This time, they saw it crystal clear.

His fist stopped about a palm’s width away from the waterfall.
