Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 490: Chapter 191: Establishing the Division of the Extraordinary Realm, Announcing the List of Martial Arts Realms!_2

”Isn’t it obvious? My Brother Bei is way more awesome. That ’Daredevil Dude,’ what’s he in comparison? Does he even deserve to be mentioned alongside my Brother Dan?”

”Get out of here! How can our ’Daredevil Dude’ not be up to par? Just look at what our ’Daredevil Dude’ has done these past couple of months—hasn’t everything been absolutely shocking? I admit Zhang Beixing is indeed strong and capable, but compared to our ’Daredevil Dude,’ I can only say he’s slightly lacking!”

”You’re absolutely right! And do you guys know what our ’Daredevil Dude’ has been doing recently? He’s been tackling Oizaki’s Eight Challenges! The universally acknowledged hardest and most impossible extreme sport challenges in the world, yet our ’Daredevil Dude’ has already completed six of them. Can your so-called Brother Dan do that? How many has he completed?!”

”Pfft, just tackling Oizaki’s Eight Challenges? What’s so difficult about that? Brother Dan simply can’t be bothered with such trivial tasks. If Brother Dan wanted to, he could easily accomplish them!”

”That’s right! Our Brother Dan is the only Great Grandmaster in the past seven hundred years. Merely Oizaki’s Eight Challenges? That’s hardly difficult; it’s just hyped up by you all. In fact, it’s not even worth mentioning!”

”Not worth mentioning? Haha! If it’s not worth mentioning, then why don’t you let Zhang Beixing do it? All talk and no action—just a pure clown!”

”You’re the clown, I fucking—”

”Alright everyone, cut it out. Let me say something fair: all of you are clowns. Are you idiots? Couldn’t you read the title before starting this quarrel?”

”The title? What’s there to see in the title, it’s just... holy shit, what’s this? Brother Bei is Daredevil Dude?”

”Ah???”

As the discussion in the bullet comments about Zhang Beixing and ’Daredevil Dude’ heated up, the originally harmonious atmosphere shattered. Supporters on both sides grew increasingly hostile, on the verge of igniting a monumental flame war in the main comments section, a battle worthy of internet legends. Just then, someone posted a bullet comment, reminding everyone to check the video’s title. Instantly, the incredibly tense, tit-for-tat atmosphere was defused.

Looking at the title of Zhang Beixing’s work, whether they were supporters of Zhang Beixing or adamant fans of ’Daredevil Dude,’ all of them were now holding their phones, stunned and looking foolish.

What the hell?

Zhang Beixing is Daredevil Dude??

Many rubbed their eyes, suspecting they had misread. But no matter how much they rubbed, the words in the title didn’t change at all. This struck them as incredibly surreal. So, they opened the video, choosing to verify its truth with their own eyes.

And as they watched, those who hadn’t quite recovered from the initial shock were now even more dumbfounded. Because the video Zhang Beixing had posted started with a bang.

***

Blue sky and white clouds stretched endlessly, as far as the eye could see. The continuous whirring of propellers filled the air. This was at an altitude of 6,000 meters. The view was clear, with no obstacles. The tiny, rice-grain-sized buildings in the distance were the city they lived in.

Standing at such an expansive altitude, combined with the video’s title, it was clear what Zhang Beixing intended to do.

Just then, a line of text emerged on the screen:

”Have you truly lived?”

As the text faded, the viewers paused in surprise. Some were confused, not quite grasping the situation. As if anticipating their reaction, another line of text appeared right after the first:

”This muddled, zombie-like existence—is this really what you want? The world is so big; don’t you want to go out and see it?”

”Do you still remember that long-lost passion?”

That line was a critical hit. Many middle-aged and young people in front of their screens silently put down their keyboards, lost in thought.

Passion... such an unfamiliar word...

They couldn’t help but recall the past, desperately searching their memories for those passionate moments. But after much thought, they realized a sad fact: it seemed they hadn’t felt passionate for a long, long time.

As they stepped into society, with the passage of time, the things that could make them involuntarily get goosebumps from excitement became fewer and fewer, until finally, there were none at all. What replaced them was a numbness, an indifference to everything.

”Why has it become like this?” someone murmured instinctively, their voice filled with bewilderment. He was still himself, so why, when faced with so many things, could they no longer muster any energy? What was it that caused them to degenerate to this state, step by step? Was it time, experiences, or themselves?

Some introspective people began pondering.

While they were deep in thought, Zhang Beixing’s video on their phones continued to play. After posing several more soul-stirring questions to the viewers, Zhang Beixing knew that if he continued, his video would turn into an interrogation session, so he aptly stopped.

The calm scene on screen fluctuated. Simultaneously, a rhythmic and intense musical variation began to play in the video. A deep, clear voice emerged from it, singing:

”Nothing can stop,”

”Your longing for freedom.”

As this song played, goosebumps instantly rose on people’s backs!

The music was ”Blue Lotus”!
