Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 322: Chapter 160: Empty Alleys, Advancing to Transcendent, to Demonstrate to the World!_2

Especially the Northern River Martial Arts Association!

Ever since Zhang Beixing became their honorary vice president, their association’s honor had become intertwined with his.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer!

After all, he was the only Grandmaster from Northern River in nearly twenty years!

What kind of status was that?

He was just too young; otherwise, he’d be everyone’s patriarch!

Therefore, after Zhang Beixing voiced his stance, they immediately issued statements of support, backing him, helping him oppose foreign oppression, and clarifying their position.

Northern River Martial Arts Association: ”Great Xia martial artists must not be insulted! Great Xia people must not be insulted! Times have changed; we are no longer who we once were. We will not accept any despicable coercion or bribery. We refuse to apologize! We believe Vice President Zhang is a law-abiding good citizen, and this competition was official. Mishaps during competitions are not rare, so we trust the nation, trust the law, and believe that Grandmaster Zhang’s innocence will be upheld!”

Once this message was issued, netizens were overjoyed.

This was, after all, the first official entity to publicly support Zhang Beixing since the incident began!

They were just about to comment. However, before they could even type, they saw that after the Northern River Martial Arts Association took the lead, other martial arts associations also began to surface at this moment, responding to the matter.

Nanhe Province Martial Arts Association: ”This is how we martial artists must be! Kung fu has never been a flashy display—it is a simple and unadorned killing technique. That’s why one either doesn’t strike, or strikes to kill! The provocateur should have come prepared. We support Grandmaster Zhang and believe in Grandmaster Zhang. Great Xia martial artists must not be insulted; Great Xia people must not be insulted!”

Dongshan Province Martial Arts Association: ”Abide by the law, fulfill your duties; these are the ethics every martial artist must uphold. Grandmaster Zhang would naturally do the same. Horses stumble, and mishaps occur in competitions; this is within the defined scope of official regulations. We trust Grandmaster Zhang, and we trust our country’s laws even more!”

Hang City Martial Arts Association: ”If the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack. If the enemy attacks me, I will surely retaliate! We, the Great Xia martial artists, have never initiated trouble, but we will also never shy away from it. Grandmaster Zhang is definitely not someone who would abuse martial arts to break the law, and this matter will surely be thoroughly investigated until the truth comes to light!”

Yanjing Martial Arts Association: ”....”

Such statements were abundant.

Although each statement was phrased differently, the underlying message was the same.

On this matter, they staunchly stood with Zhang Beixing, supported him, and applauded Grandmaster Zhang’s actions today!

Such a situation was indeed rare.

Zhang Beixing was able to achieve this not only because he had vindicated Great Xia martial artists, but also because he was a Grandmaster! And not just any Grandmaster, but the youngest in all of history!

These two factors combined created such a spectacular scene and mobilized such tremendous energy!

If it were an ordinary martial arts practitioner, although they might also receive support, it certainly wouldn’t have been on such a grand scale!

Netizens, largely unaware of these dynamics, were simply thrilled to see so many martial arts associations publicly supporting Zhang Beixing, and they couldn’t help but be moved. Their blood was boiling!

”Damn, even the Northern River Martial Arts Association, Nanhe Province, and a whole bunch of other martial arts associations are coming out to support my Brother Dan; this is incredible...”

”That’s my Brother Dan for you! With such an array of support, it’s practically like all of Great Xia’s martial artists have come to back him!”

”With just one sentence, he moved all the martial artists of Great Xia. One can only say Brother Bei is truly adept!”

”I was wondering why you martial arts associations hadn’t reacted at all after this incident broke out, despite waiting so long. Turns out you were gearing up for something big. Man, I almost blew my top earlier; good thing I held back!”

”True, you’re really good at holding back. But seeing as you’ve all spoken up in support, I’ll forgive you this time. Don’t let it happen again!”

”By the way, since the martial arts associations have made statements about this, what about Zhang’s alma mater, Shi University? What have they said?”

”Here it comes, here it comes! News from Shi University is out!”

”.....”

Netizens chatted noisily. Suddenly, when someone mentioned that Shi University had also issued a statement regarding this incident, curiosity was piqued, and many went to look. And indeed, they discovered it was true!

Shi University official announcement:

”As an exemplary student of our university, Zhang Beixing is diligent and earnest in his studies, always willing to help others, friendly and amiable, and very passionate. He is self-disciplined and responsible—a student of good moral and academic standing!

Moreover, he is a hero who acts bravely for just causes, a representative of outstanding youth from Shishi.

His performance today perfectly illustrates that ’a strong youth leads to a strong country, a fearless youth leads to a fearless country, unshaken by threats or bribery, undisturbed by rumors and gossip.’

We believe that justice resides in the hearts of the people; the law will not let any bad person escape, nor will it fail any good person!

August 7th, Shi University!”

This statement from Shi University also supported Zhang Beixing, though its support was more subtle compared to that of the martial arts associations.

But it was understandable.

After all, they are an educational institution, a place for teaching and nurturing.

With such an incident erupting at their Shi University, they couldn’t overtly express support, regardless of how well Zhang Beixing had handled it or how much his actions pleased the public.
