Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 336: Chapter 162: Posting Another Video, Seeking the Path to the One Great Grandmaster!_2

Within a vast circular meeting room, people sat at their respective places, all abuzz with conversation.

In the midst of their discussions, Zhang Beixing, Liu Yi, Elder Chen, along with the president of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, emerged from the side and took their seats.

The president of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association glanced around at the assembled crowd.

He cleared his throat twice and spoke, ”Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to travel far and wide to attend this meeting. I apologize for the sudden disturbance.”

The president stood up and clas meninasped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute. He then sat down again and continued, ”The reason we have urgently called you here is that we have a matter for which we’d like to request your assistance.”

”Grandmaster Zhang, please.”

As he spoke, the president gestured to Zhang Beixing, signaling that it would be better for Zhang Beixing to explain the matter himself.

Zhang Beixing nodded in acknowledgement and then looked at the people present. He had met most of them before, as they had visited him previously, but they were not well acquainted.

Then, Zhang Beixing clasped his hands and saluted with a fist-and-palm gesture. He didn’t beat around the bush and startlingly declared, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm!”

Once these words were spoken, everyone in the room was taken aback.

What in the world, had they heard him right?

He says he wants to break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm?

The audience turned their bewildered gazes toward Zhang Beixing.

If they remembered correctly, hadn’t Zhang Beixing just broken through to the Grandmaster Realm a little over half a month ago?

And now, the Grandmaster Realm no longer satisfies him, and he’s already thinking of aiming even higher?

A chorus of astounded gasps rippled through the room. People expressed shock at Zhang Beixing’s ambition.

Some of them couldn’t understand; if he simply wanted to work hard to break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, why had they been summoned here?

However, as Zhang Beixing continued speaking, they understood the purpose of the meeting.

They heard Zhang Beixing say, ”To break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm is an extremely demanding task. It is known that one must not only be a Master of All in martial arts but also create an Ultimate Skill. Therefore, I humbly request that everyone let me peruse your families’ ancestral Ultimate Skills. In return, I, Zhang Beixing, will be deeply grateful!”

The question of gratitude was actually a matter of face. Zhang Beixing had neither money nor power, so how could he repay them? But this favor, once given, would surely be repaid in the future.

As these words were spoken, the room erupted into a commotion. Everyone was stunned speechless by Zhang Beixing’s request.

Seeing this reaction, Liu Yi chimed in to support, ”Indeed, hearing these words, some of you may think this is a joke and consider the Great Grandmaster Realm a mere fantasy, but how can we be certain if we never try?”

”My disciple Zhang Beixing, as the youngest Grandmaster in the martial arts world of Great Xia to date, has surpassed many ancient sages! With such brilliant talent, he is the most hopeful person, after Zhang Sanfeng, to become a Great Grandmaster in almost seven hundred years of Great Xia’s history! Therefore, I earnestly request everyone to encourage and respond to this endeavor!”

”And I, Liu Yi, will also be deeply grateful afterwards!”

Elder Chen nodded solemnly, staying seated, and said earnestly, ”You’re right, Grandmaster Zhang is talented and his potential is boundless. The Chen Family would like to be the first to offer support. We will open our Family’s Archive to Grandmaster Zhang, allowing him to consult any volume he wishes to aid him in breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm and achieving this unprecedented feat!”

If the previous statements of Zhang Beixing and Liu Yi had only sown seeds of doubt and uncertainty among the crowd, then after Elder Chen declared the opening of the Archive, everyone’s reaction was one of utter shock!

It was important to understand that the Chen Family’s Archive was a coveted yet unattainable location for many martial practitioners in the Northern River province. It was the very core of the Chen Family! It housed a wide array of martial arts Secret Manuals and numerous insights left by previous martial forebears. Gaining entry to see it even once was incredibly difficult.

And what status does the Chen Family hold in Northern River province? They’re undoubtedly the premier martial arts Aristocratic Family of the province!

And now, to help Zhang Beixing become the seldom-seen and elusive Great Grandmaster, the Chen Family was offering their full support. They were granting him complete access to this core treasure trove!

Those present broke into lively discussions, and the once-quiet meeting room became filled with tumult.

Zhang Beixing and the others observed silently from the side, not intervening, waiting for everyone’s response.

To be honest, many of the martial artists in the room had some skepticism about this endeavor. It wasn’t that they doubted Zhang Beixing personally, but rather they found the notion of the Great Grandmaster Realm to be distant and fantastical. After all, throughout history, Great Grandmasters have been few and far between. It’s a realm to aspire to but not to grasp. And in the past seven hundred years, no one had seen a Great Grandmaster—this so-called realm was no different from a myth, too ethereal and abstract.

But now, Zhang Beixing was saying that he wanted to strive to reach this realm and was actually imploring them to share their family martial arts inheritances.

”Is it worth it?”

”I don’t know, but I do know that Vice President Zhang’s talent is truly great. If it’s him, it might not be impossible!”

”So you’re also just saying ’it might be,’ not ’it will be.’”

”Yes, throughout the five thousand years of Great Xia’s history, there have been only three or four recorded Grandmasters. This isn’t much different from legend, after all, since no one has ever witnessed it. Now, to say a legendary figure might appear, to be honest, it makes me somewhat anxious.”
