Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 510: Chapter 194: The First Human to Stand Shoulder to Shoulder with Firearms in a Military Armament Evaluation Part 2

He decided that after attending the military readiness evaluation, he would return to train diligently, striving to become a hexagonal warrior as soon as possible.

But before that, this ’Qi Control,’ how should I go about achieving it? Should I wrap objects with the Postnatal Five Qi and attack with them? And as for the objects, which ones should I choose for remote training?

Zhang Beixing gazed out the window, pondering these questions, as the car slowly made its way towards the Pu’er City military district.

「Meanwhile, online.」

After the news that Zhang Beixing’s feats of walking on water and rescuing people from a fire were true, public opinion had swelled to an indescribable magnitude. These feats were simply too unbelievable, too contrary to human nature. Zhang Beixing’s name spread far and wide. Now, opening any comment section, one could see discussions about him. His popularity had reached terrifying levels.

This caused Zhang Beixing’s Douyin followers to skyrocket, breaking through the 7,000,000 mark and heading towards 8,000,000. Marketing and news accounts, sensing the potential for massive traffic, hastily sought to understand the situation. Upon learning the details, they realized this was an opportunity for a massive surge in traffic. They immediately began crafting copy and editing videos. Suddenly, news about Zhang Beixing was everywhere!

[Shocking! A real martial arts master exists in this world!]

[The first human in history to defy the laws of physics!]

[Watch now, the secrets behind the formidable power of famous blogger Zhang Beixing!]

Some media outlets geographically close to Zhang Beixing even found out his location and began heading his way. Their goal was to interview him, to ask how he achieved these unbelievable feats and whether supernatural abilities truly existed in this world.

Prominent domestic directors were even publicly calling out to Zhang Beixing on Douyin.

”Mr. Zhang, I’m from the ’Shanghai Cannon 2’ film crew. Our script includes a scene of walking on water. Would you have time to make a cameo? The price is negotiable!”

”Get lost! Look how terrible ’Shanghai Cannon 2’ has become, and you still dare to invite Mr. Zhang for a cameo? You just want to ruin his reputation! Mr. Zhang, come to our ’Youth Times’ crew. Even if you do nothing, we will offer you a satisfactory price!”

Statements like these were endless. Numerous directors entered the fray, inviting Zhang Beixing and stating that if he were willing, the pay and treatment were negotiable. A few had even, through some unknown means, gotten Zhang Beixing’s phone number and called him directly.

”Mr. Zhang, hello. I’m Director Zhang Mou. I’m preparing the prequel to ’Man Jiang Hong.’ Would you consider joining? If you’re willing, I’ll give you the role of the male lead, Yue Fei. I guarantee a continuous shot of you using the Lightness Technique against ten thousand soldiers—a truly grand scene!”

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing was dumbfounded. What the heck? The entertainment industry? Filming? And a prequel to ’Man Jiang Hong’ at that?

”Not considering it for now, thank you!” Zhang Beixing replied, then immediately hung up and scoffed.

If he hadn’t reached this stage, hadn’t become the president of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association, he might have been genuinely tempted by today’s offers. After all, there’s no shame in making money. But here lay the problem. He was already the world’s only Transcendent in the Hidden Essence realm, the president of Great Xia Martial Arts, enjoying the status and treatment of a division-level cadre. Having reached such heights, and they wanted him to film and become a star? Even if he were willing, he’d have to consider if his fans would agree—this would purely diminish the prestige of an Extraordinary Martial Artist! How could his fans boast in other people’s video comments then? Besides, he really wasn’t interested. Having already become Transcendent, going into acting seemed like treading a narrow path. If he truly wanted to make money, putting other avenues aside, the military would be the first to approach him for discussions.

”This is utterly ridiculous!” Zhang Beixing finally muttered.

Seeing him like this, Huo Honghao, who was beside him, simply smiled without speaking. He also felt it was rather outrageous; asking a coach highly sought after by Great Xia’s major military regions to go into acting was indeed somewhat insulting.

「Meanwhile.」

In other parts of Great Xia, those Martial Artists who had seen the announcement published by the Pu’er fire department were utterly astounded. Initially, upon seeing the system of realms Above Grandmaster proposed by Zhang Beixing, they had merely thought it was a new insight or a potential future direction he had conceived. They considered it a concept, its feasibility uncertain. But only now did they realize it was not merely a concept. It was the truth! Zhang Beixing had personally trodden this path, reached the Hidden Essence realm, and confirmed its validity, which is why he had proposed this system for Extraordinary Martial Artists! This was truly unbelievable!

”How is that possible?!”

On Wudang Mountain, Daoist Qingwei trembled upon seeing this message, nearly dropping his phone. An expression of utter disbelief appeared on his usually calm face. He could accept Zhang Beixing conceiving the concept of the Hidden Essence realm, perhaps attributing it to a rich imagination. But to have *directly reached* the Hidden Essence realm? That was simply too outrageous! It had to be understood that the conditions specified for the Hidden Essence realm were incredibly stringent. The requirements of Unbreakable Divine Sight and Unity of Knowledge and Action—any discerning person could see that these were simply not attainable by humans.
