Zhang Beixing could hardly remain indifferent to this, and he responded to each and every one of them. In these circumstances, Zhang Beixing’s popularity soared once again, reaching the top spot on Douyin’s trending list.
With such high popularity, the Martial Arts Association of Asia, which was constantly monitoring Zhang Beixing’s updates, naturally wouldn’t be unaware. Given that Zhang Beixing was the president of their Martial Arts Association of Asia, and his will was supre, these people unhesitatingly and promptly forwarded Zhang Beixing’s update to the international internet.
It was rely a matter of martial ranks and martial arts regulations anyway. Since Great Xia, the orthodox authority in martial arts, had implented it, the rest of Asia would likely have to follow suit, or else they would probably struggle to integrate into this circle in the future. However, compared to the explosive public opinion dostically, the discussions on the international internet were noticeably quieter.
This wasn’t unusual. The reason the dostic buzz was so explosive was that Zhang Beixing had been building up to the announcent beforehand. First, there was a fire, then ca Oizaki’s Eight Challenges, and a bit of a teaser. The curiosity of the netizens had been piqued, and the hype had been stirred up considerably. At this point, even if Zhang Beixing were to just fart, that too would spark a discussion.
On the other hand, there was no such buildup or groundwork on the international internet. They couldn’t understand the culture of Great Xia, and the transliterated nas of the realms had lost their essence, leaving them unable to appreciate the underlying significance. So when the Martial Arts Association of Asia abruptly made Zhang Beixing’s martial arts system public, only martial artists and a few Black Ghosts really took notice and gave feedback.
Fortunately, Zhang Beixing didn’t care about what was happening on the international internet. Now, having announced his martial arts system, he looked at the comnts section and found that after a brief mont of surprise, the netizens were recovering from their astonishnt.
Then, they posed a question to Zhang Beixing,
"Brother Bei, I admit that you’ve built on the work of predecessors and summarized an intricate martial arts system, even inventing many realms. That’s badass. But what now? We’ve made such a big deal out of this only to get a bunch of made-up realms. Isn’t that a bit unsatisfying? I might as well read a novel!"
The netizens admitted that what Zhang Beixing did was badass. He had perfected the disorganized and rough martial arts system that the martial arts community had never completed. He had even extended the underlying concepts of martial arts by creating a set of realms rich with imagination. Disregarding the made-up realms, at least the detailed division below the Grandmaster Realm had received universal recognition from the Great Xia Martial Arts Association and had beco the new standard in the Great Xia martial arts community. But it was still a bit underwhelming!
The realms above the Great Grandmaster Realm sounded impressive, but in the end, they only existed in theory. As for theoretical concepts, there were plenty—Yin-Yang Theory, Five Elents, Daoist visualization doctrines; aren’t they everywhere? This stuff is just like writing a fantasy novel; even if it’s brought up, it can’t possibly stand on its own. And if it can’t stand on its own yet was still announced with such fanfare and pomp, this...
"Just so we’re clear, Brother Dan, I’m not targeting you on purpose, nor am I being arguntative for the sake of it. But don’t you feel that the realm system you’ve created above the Great Grandmaster Realm is a bit too abstract?"
"Exactly. Our Great Xia martial arts system has been further extended, allowing us to reach further, which is indeed good. But the issue lies in its feasibility. What’s the point if it’s proposed but no one can achieve it, if it’s always out of reach?"
"Right, right, right! It’s just like the Great Grandmaster Realm before. To tell you the truth, Brother Dan, if it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t even know that Great Xia had a Great Grandmaster Realm. It’s so difficult that in 700 years, Great Xia has produced only you as a Great Grandmaster. And now, building on this already difficult foundation, you’re proposing yet another new realm..."
"If it weren’t for Brother Bei, I would have always thought that our national arts were a scam!"
"Enough already! Cut the ambiguous talk. After all this beating around the bush, don’t you just want to know why Brother Bei proposed this Hidden Essence Realm, right? I’ll just ask straight up: Brother Bei, since you’ve brought up this Hidden Essence Realm, have you already reached it, or are you about to reach it?"
"I’m curious too. I’ve never seen anything like this. I don’t know what Unbreakable Divine Sight or Unity of Knowledge and Action are. Brother Bei, why not give us a demonstration and enlighten us?"
"If he can actually do it, I’ll eat shit while standing on my head! A whole bucket!"
"...."
Voices like these echoed throughout the comnts section. Because the abilities displayed in the Hidden Essence Realm Zhang Beixing had proposed were too outrageous and seemingly impossible for Humans to achieve, sounding akin to Cultivation. This made them wonder, what was the point of proposing this realm?
Regarding this, Zhang Beixing had long anticipated it. He was quite aware that proposing such an absurd realm would inevitably lead to skepticism among the netizens. After all, this was Transcendent; it was beginning to surpass Human perception, overturning principles and worldviews!
