Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 486: Chapter 190: Changes in Own Body, Releasing Another Video!_5

It was like a humanoid autonomous weapon. Allowing such a dangerous entity to walk the streets and markets openly, without any restrictions, was unthinkable. If it suddenly went mad and erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Even if Yang Ying had not mentioned this to Zhang Beixing today, Zhang Beixing had been planning to address it once he returned to Shishi. As the ancient saying goes, ”When Heaven wants to destroy a man, it first makes him mad!”

After mastering dangerous power, if the country remained indifferent as if nothing had happened, it could only mean one thing: the country was coming after you! Either for extermination or for dissection and research—neither outcome was good.

On the other hand, Yang Ying proactively discussing this matter with him now actually set Zhang Beixing’s mind at ease considerably. At the very least, it signified official recognition from the country.

As for whether being so cautious, despite having become a Transcendent, was a bad thing? That would be sheer arrogance, Zhang Beixing thought. He had become Transcendent, but he wasn’t a god! He could dodge bullets now, but could he withstand artillery shells?

Besides, there was nothing wrong with being affiliated with the country. He could earn a salary of ten to twenty thousand a month without doing much. Even if he caused trouble, as long as he was in the right, it could be settled. Even if he wasn’t in the right, as long as the trouble wasn’t caused on home ground, they would protect him fiercely. It was just like those demons in *Journey to the West* who had powerful backing. The Golden Winged Great Peng was ruthless, having devoured the people of an entire city, yet because of its connection to Buddha, it faced no repercussions.

Furthermore, the resources the country lavished on its own people were truly extravagant! The Lucky Gu selected late in ’20 was the best example. He was a typical case of someone who lacked everything. The only commendable quality he possessed, his innocence, paled in comparison to that of the Winter’s Strange Dove, a figure of legendary purity, almost a living saint. Yet, he was just lucky. With the backing of resources, he managed to utterly defeat the small-town geniuses with nothing more than a sincere smile.

But now that I’ve appeared, he probably won’t be so lucky anymore, Zhang Beixing mused. After all, I can develop Tangli too. Once I’m strong enough, I’ll establish a unique school of Martial Arts there, one steeped in local culture. I wouldn’t even need to promote it; people would flock there on their own! Who doesn’t dream of roaming the world with a sword?

...

Afterward, Zhang Beixing and Yang Ying discussed matters regarding military equipment evaluation. Once the details were fully understood and the time for the evaluation was set, the car arrived at the outpost where Huo Honghao and his team were stationed.

Zhang Beixing got out of the car and stretched. Thinking about how the Lightness Technique he had just perfected hadn’t yet been put into practice to earn the System’s reward, he didn’t dally with Yang Ying and the others. He bid them a quick farewell and went outside the outpost to practice his skills.

Yang Ying and the others didn’t feel any displeasure or sense of being slighted by Zhang Beixing’s behavior. On the contrary, they found him very diligent. He would seize any free moment to practice his skills. No wonder Zhang Beixing could break through the Great Grandmaster realm and reach the level of Above Grandmaster. It all made perfect sense!

Huo Honghao also sighed with emotion, his gaze then falling upon the group of soldiers resting and relaxing at the outpost. For some reason, these soldiers, with whom he had previously been quite satisfied, now struck him as incredibly irritating. Every single one of them, terrible posture whether standing or sitting! And you call yourselves Shishi’s Kings of Soldiers and elite troops! Shameful!

Thus, after sending off Yang Ying and Yu Jianhong, Huo Honghao blew the assembly whistle. Watching the gathered soldiers, he said with a stern face, ”Alright everyone, ten-kilometer cross-country run! Get ready!”

Soldiers: ”???”

Zhang Beixing was completely unaware that, because of him, the soldiers in the military district were now being unwillingly dragged into an intense regimen. At that moment, he was standing by the lake in the woods, testing his perfected Lightness Technique.

With every change in Zhang Beixing’s movements, the Postnatal Five Qi circulated through his Meridians, stimulating various acupoints in his body. After several days of contemplation and research, his understanding of the application of Postnatal Five Qi had deepened considerably. The Postnatal Five Qi was not only associated with the Five Elements but also subtly aligned with the Innate Eight Trigrams! Qian and Dui signified Metal, Kun and Gen signified Earth, Zhen and Xun signified Wood, Kan signified Water, and Li signified Fire. Each trigram corresponded to a different effect, and different combinations of trigrams could create entirely new transformations.

However, Zhang Beixing currently had no clear idea on how to combine the trigrams. He would need to consult books like *The Book of Changes* to find inspiration.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Beixing, channeling the Postnatal Five Qi within his body, executed the final sequence of the Lightness Technique, landing steadily on the ground. The System’s notification sound chimed in his ear.

[System Alert: Master has completed the suggested technique, ”Crossing the River with a Reed, Leaving No Trace in Snow!”]

[Suggestion reward granted. Current Ability Points: 153 → 163]

[”Crossing the River with a Reed, Leaving No Trace in Snow” — Progress refreshed. Current: 0/1]

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing stood firm, concluding his stance. The Postnatal Five Qi clinging to his body suddenly relaxed. He exhaled a long, turbid breath. Feeling the scarce amount of Postnatal Five Qi left in his body after his practice, Zhang Beixing felt a little regretful.

The Lightness Technique he had developed had a very short execution time. A complete set took only ten minutes. This was an intentional design choice Zhang Beixing had made when creating this Lightness Technique.
