Chapter 506: Chapter 193: The Unique Birth of a Transcendent in Ancient and Modern Times, The Internet Blew Up_4

The reason was that on January 7th, someone had posted a video of a fire online. The video was quite blurry, but one could still make out Zhang Beixing flying up ten meters to rescue a child from the third floor. Such an incredible scene led them all to the consensus that it had to be a movie clip. Consequently, when they later saw the video of Zhang Beixing walking on water, netizens subconsciously regarded it as part of a movie plot as well.

But now, the Pu’er City Fire Brigade had released an announcement making the incident public. Following this announcement, they also posted a very clear video of the scene. The netizens realized this matter might not be what they had initially thought.

However, they still harbored a glimmer of hope. What if they weren’t wrong? What if Zhang Beixing really did go shoot a movie and, just their luck, shot one of the same genre? Isn’t that how movie promotions like to roll nowadays? Fighting freely in a cinema after watching a movie, wiping away tears at the office while watching a movie, blind people watching movies, the Jingkang Shame... Compared to these outrageous movie promotions that metaphorically ground netizens’ brains into the dust, a similar fire-themed promotion for Zhang Beixing could be acceptable, especially since he actually did enter the fire to save people.

With this mindset, the netizens clicked on the video posted by the Pu’er City Fire Brigade.

What caught their eyes was the chaotic street. Huge flames were burning, and the piercing sirens of smashed cars filled the air. Apart from the different perspective and clarity, the rest matched the content of the previous video exactly. Seeing this, the netizens’ expressions tensed; even the slowest among them could sense something was amiss.

Their gaze sharpened as they continued to watch. Under the high-definition camera, they saw someone in the crowd point out a child trapped on the third floor. Immediately after, Zhang Beixing emerged. Just like in the previous video, after stepping out from the crowd, he took large strides, rushing toward the blazing fire. But this time, the video was crystal clear.

It was so clear that the netizens could even see the flames nearly licking at Zhang Beixing’s body. So clear, in fact, that they saw Zhang Beixing leap upwards, seemingly using the flames themselves for impetus. Then, in mid-air, he paused.

Afterward:

”THUMP—”

As if there was something solid beneath his feet, Zhang Beixing’s body, which should have been pulled down by gravity, suddenly and eerily halted in mid-air. His figure then shot upward again!

He landed and jumped once more!

After leveraging himself in mid-air three times in succession, Zhang Beixing finally reached the ten-meter-high third floor. He wrenched open the railing, rescued the child from within, and leaped down.

”BOOM!”

The moment Zhang Beixing and the child landed, the third floor exploded a second time. The shockwave from the explosion hit the camera, and the video feed cut out. But in the final, fleeting glimpse, a powerful silhouette could be seen landing. Backlit by the towering flames, the figure looked just like Superman! With that, the video ended.

The screen went dark.

But the netizens were frozen, as if Sun Wukong had cast an Immobilizing Spell on them. They clutched their phones, dumbfounded, not moving an inch, their eyes wide with shock. They were utterly stunned. It wasn’t just because they discovered that Zhang Beixing’s feat of leaping meters into the air to save someone from a fire was real; it was also because they remembered the video they’d seen of him walking on water.

Previously, due to their preconceived notions, they had always believed that video was fake. This meant that when they watched Zhang Beixing walking on water, they couldn’t understand it, no matter how closely they looked. They couldn’t figure out how the Special Effects were achieved. But now, upon learning that everything Zhang Beixing had done so far was real, the netizens found that the questions plaguing them had vanished.

Because... ŸŸŸ

”Holy shit, so whether it’s rescuing someone from the fire or walking on water, all this freakin’ happened for real??!”

”Preposterous! It’s insanely preposterous! But how did Brother Dan do it? This move is practically inhuman!”

”Especially in the video of walking on water, the shot where Brother Bei dodged bullets—I initially thought it was Special Effects, felt the effects were fake, but now, I can only say, please accept my knees!”

”Mom, come out and see this immortal! There’s someone here who can leap thrice in mid-air and even stand motionless on a leaf dodging bullets!”

”I’m dumbfounded! Actors are all impressive in movies but lame in real life. And then there’s Brother Bei, whose real-life performance is way more badass than any freakin’ movie! The stunts he pulled off would be called utter nonsense if they were in a film, and yet he did them in real life! This is nuts...”

”It just goes to show, movies are still toned down! ’Reality is the vessel for fantasy’—that saying truly lives up to its name!”

”Damn it, speaking of which, wasn’t I the one who suggested Brother Bei practice the Lightness Technique? Holy crap, I just casually mentioned it, totally joking around, I never thought you’d actually do it!”

”Are you just realizing this now? The recommendation for Oizaki’s Eight Challenges was my idea too! Damn, that’s my Brother Bei for you—all about authenticity, dares to dream it, dares to do it! Awesome!”
