Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 414: Chapter 174: The Might of the Great Grandmaster! The Universally Acknowledged Martial Ancestor, Zhang Beixing!_7

Martial Artists from all over Great Xia watched Zhang Beixing stop the bleeding on stage. They felt quite uncomfortable, their expressions mixed, as they all lamented missing such an opportunity to form ties with a Great Grandmaster.

However, their feelings were in stark contrast to those of Liu Yi and his group! They had been staunchly supporting Zhang Beixing all along! Therefore, upon learning that Zhang Beixing had actually broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, they all felt a share of his glory and were extremely excited.

”I wonder what kind of Ultimate Skill my disciple has created. He’ll have to teach it to me when the time comes, right, Beixing’s Shibo?” Liu Yi said, his eyebrows raised triumphantly. He sat up straight, glancing sideways at the surrounding Martial Artists with a smug air.

”Exactly! An Ultimate Skill of a Great Grandmaster, and the only one in seven hundred years—it must be extraordinary!” Liu Pan’s eyes gleamed brightly as he nodded repeatedly.

”Awesome, Grandmaster Zhang! Oh, wait, I should say Great Grandmaster now! The first in seven hundred years, and he’s only twenty-one this year. He’s the youngest Great Grandmaster in history!” Wu Yougui trembled with excitement, roaring, ”Awesome!”

Chen He was equally exhilarated, his face flushed as he added, ”And that’s not all! Don’t forget, it’s only been six months since Grandmaster Zhang started his Cultivation! Half a year to go from nothing to a Great Grandmaster! Such speed will undoubtedly be renowned for millennia and remembered by generations to come!”

”Truly worthy of being Great Grandmaster Zhang! When I first laid eyes on him, I knew he was extraordinary! Now it seems he has indeed reached a height no one else can attain!” Elder Chen chimed in, exceptionally proud. After all, he was the first to befriend Zhang Beixing!

He considered himself a witness to Zhang Beixing’s meteoric rise, watching him cultivate from an ordinary person to a Great Grandmaster in just six short months. This filled Elder Chen with a mix of wistfulness and immense pride; his judgment was still sharp—damn impressive!

His only regret was that his granddaughter hadn’t managed to win Zhang Beixing over, even though the Chen Family and Zhang Beixing were on excellent terms now.

But no matter how good their relationship was, could it compare to being actual family?

Elder Chen turned to glance at Chen Rourou, thinking, Rourou, you must strive harder! You know what they say, ’Proximity grants the first chance.’ You must understand this and seize the opportunity!

Meanwhile, as the crowd below was still reeling from the revelation and trying to process it, Zhang Beixing had already staunched his bleeding. On the stage, he assumed the opening stance of the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique. With a fierce clench of his fist, a sonic boom erupted from within his body.

Seeing this, everyone below the stage quickly snapped back to attention. Pseudo Grandmasters and Grandmasters alike, all now watched with rapt attention.

They realized this might be the Ultimate Skill of a Great Grandmaster!

”This aura... as weighty as a mountain, as profound as the abyss!”

”Is this the Ultimate Skill of a Great Grandmaster?”

All eyes were fixated on Zhang Beixing, eagerly anticipating his display of a Great Grandmaster’s Ultimate Skill.

Zhang Beixing announced, ”Zhang Beixing. Great Grandmaster Realm. Your move.”

After achieving the Great Grandmaster Realm, one naturally could no longer claim tutelage under the Yue Family. This was because a Great Grandmaster founds their own martial school. Consequently, other schools could hardly offer the traditional respects as if he were still a disciple of another.

And as Zhang Beixing spoke softly, a dense, murderous aura emanated from him.

CRACK!

In that instant, Mei Yougui’s psychological defenses shattered!

He was already terrified of Zhang Beixing, and this new pressure caused his pupils to shrink to pinpoints. I’ll die! I’ll die! If I fight him, I will definitely die!

Such thoughts ran rampant in Mei Yougui’s mind. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t suppress them.

His limbs trembled uncontrollably. His teeth chattered violently as immense fear surfaced in his heart, consuming him.

As he looked at Zhang Beixing, an instinct buried deep within his bloodline awakened, acting almost subconsciously.

THUD!

A dull thud echoed.

Everyone looked over to see Mei Yougui, the Shadow Ninja from the Land of Cherry Blossoms, kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with pure terror!

Zhang Beixing was somewhat perplexed by this.

What’s going on? Why has he suddenly started kowtowing? It’s not New Year’s, is it? And even if it were, you damn foreigner, you’d be lucky not to get a couple of slaps across the face, let alone a red packet!

Is this old codger trying to extort me?

”Are you going to fight or not?” Zhang Beixing asked Mei Yougui, his expression puzzled.

Mei Yougui, trembling like a leaf in a storm, didn’t even dare to raise his head. He stammered, ”N-no... no more fighting! I surrender! I surrender!”

With that, he scrambled off the stage, completely disregarding his dignity as a Grandmaster.

Who cared about dignity at a time like this? The pressure emanating from Zhang Beixing was simply too terrifying.

Forget everything else; just the fact that he had shattered a sword blade with his bare hands was enough. If that fist landed on him... with his frail physique, he’d likely be killed on the spot!

He had come to Great Xia to stir up trouble, not to get himself killed! Besides, his opponent was a Great Grandmaster, while he was merely a Grandmaster. Conceding defeat to such an opponent wasn’t shameful!

Realizing this, Mei Yougui felt even less shame.

It had to be said, when it came to self-consolation, those little devils were remarkably adept.

And so, the first battle between Grandmasters ended in such an anticlimactic fashion.

Zhang Beixing stood on the stage, feeling rather unenthused.

So, he turned his gaze towards the other Martial Artists of the Eight-Nation Alliance and asked in a deep voice, ”Let’s settle all of today’s affairs at once. Who’s next?”
