"Vice President Chen Hegao of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association extends his assistance to Grandmaster Zhang for a triumphant victory, to suppress the miscreants, and revitalize our national martial arts!"

"Secretary-General Chen Fenghua of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association extends his assistance to Grandmaster Zhang for a triumphant victory, to suppress the miscreants, and revitalize our national martial arts!"

"Member Yang Lifeng from the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association..."

"Member Luo Shengu from the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association..."

"The Martial Arts Association of Northern River Province hereby represents all members in wishing Vice President Zhang a triumphant victory! May friendship through martial arts showcase the grandeur of our great nation!"

"....."

A long list of comments appeared on the phone.

Without exception, all were there to wave the flag and cheer for Zhang Beixing.

Even those who did not typically use Douyin, such as Wu Hegui, downloaded the app upon hearing the news and went to Zhang Beixing's page to express his views and stance.

We are not alone!

Looking at the comments from this group of people, Zhang Beixing thought.

「…」

BEEP BEEP BEEP—

Just then, Liu Yi's VX call popped up from the background.

Zhang Beixing answered and heard a noisy background, followed closely by Liu Yi's voice, "Beixing, are you challenging that 'Black Ghost'?"

"Yes, Teacher Liu. He has bullied his way to our doorstep. If I don't respond at all, it would be too cowardly!"

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much more. Go ahead boldly. However, be cautious when you face that 'Black Ghost.' You might indeed be a Grandmaster now, with your martial arts reaching mystical levels, but that 'Black Ghost' is not an easy opponent. Don't underestimate modern combat; it's no weaker than our national martial arts! It's always right to be cautious. Don't capsize in a gutter!" Liu Yi cautioned. Clearly, after learning about the conflict between Zhang Beixing and Chris, he had researched and understood the situation regarding this 'Black Ghost'.

"Alright, Teacher Liu, I understand. Don't worry, I won't give it any chance. I'll seize the opportunity to take him down!"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"It's okay, Teacher Liu, I get it," Zhang Beixing interrupted, then asked, "Speaking of which, Teacher Liu, what have you been busy with lately? Ever since we parted at my house that day, you haven't contacted me."

"It's just that I've broken through to Grandmaster, and now I'm in Yanjing receiving visitors. Speaking of which, Beixing, I'm quite busy these days and might not be able to be there for your battle with Chris. I apologize for this."

"Pshaw, we don't stand on ceremony between master and disciple. Just informing me is enough; no need for apologies. Teacher Liu, please attend to your commitments."

"Alright, then I won't disturb you any further. Prepare well, and when the time comes, teach that ignorant 'Black Ghost' a lesson!"

With that, Liu Yi hung up.

Zhang Beixing, after the call ended, looked at his phone for a while. He then noticed that his actions had thoroughly ignited public opinion online.

Chris, who had challenged Zhang Beixing, naturally noticed this. Seeing that Zhang Beixing, after two days of silence, had finally posted a response to the matter, Chris was ecstatic!

A response, that's it! This is what I wanted most! Otherwise, if it was just me hyping this up, how could the momentum be maintained? And if the momentum wasn't maintained, how could I gain more followers or exploit my fanbase?

Those Great Xia people are so easily provoked; just a little nudge and they're completely riled up! Hahaha, it's like even God is on my side this time.

Holding his phone, Chris laughed loudly. He then asked someone nearby for an alternate account not blocked by Zhang Beixing, started a live stream, and promoted it on his main account.

Making such a move at this critical juncture, it was no surprise that within just three to four minutes, his live stream's concurrent viewership reached over 50,000.

The bullet comments streamed endlessly. Some were supportive, some were rational observers, but most were flaming him.

If this were any other day, Chris would have been infuriated upon seeing this and would have argued with the crowd.

But now…

Heh, just a bunch of mere buffoons, Eastern monkeys, that's all!

Chris smirked dismissively. He found Zhang Beixing in the search bar and directly sent a request to link their streams.

A short while later, the connection was established.

Zhang Beixing's handsome face appeared on the screen, creating a stark visual contrast with Chris's ugly and dark appearance.

He hadn't even spoken yet. Chris, seemingly envious of Zhang Beixing's handsome appearance, seized the initiative by speaking first:

"Hey bro, your response to this matter has changed my view of you. In terms of courage, at least, you're much better than those cowardly Great Xia traditional martial arts masters I've exposed as fakes before. I hereby declare you half a Great Xia person. You haven't disgraced the Great Xia people; you don't have to leave Great Xia."

"Now, I'm in Gakanda, and I'll be here until August 8th. Use this time to prepare. Oh, and you'd better get some insurance for your face. Otherwise, if I accidentally ruin it, you'll be crying and running home to mommy."

"Of course, if you regret this now and want to beg for mercy, that's fine too. Just as I said before, if you kowtow three times in front of the live audience and say 'Sorry Chris' three times, I, as the bigger person, will forgive you!"
