"Yes, I thought so too." Zhang Beixing responded, then lowered his head and continued typing something on his phone.

Seeing his actions, Liu Yi became curious. This was mainly because Zhang Beixing had been engrossed in his phone ever since he got in the car.

Liu Yi had just leaned over to take a look when—

DING-DONG DING-DONG—

Two clear sounds came from his phone. Liu Yi took out his own phone and, looking at the screen, was shocked to see that Zhang Beixing had just posted two new updates.

Was this what he had been busy with just now?

Liu Yi opened Douyin to check.

He saw that the first post by Zhang Beixing was the earlier Grandmaster ranking.

First: Taoist Qingwei, Wudang Mountain, 63 years old.

Second: Taoist Dingshen, Dragon Tiger Mountain, 83 years old.

Third: Wan Mingde, Original Style Tai Chi Chuan, 67 years old.

...

Seventh: Zhang Beixing, Yue Family Continuous Boxing, 21 years old!!!

Eighth: Wu Yougui, Black Dragon Eighteen Hands, 58 years old.

Ninth: Liu Yi, Yue Family Continuous Boxing, 50 years old.

Tenth: Ma Shikai, Primordial Form Intent School, 66 years old.

The rankings on the list had changed.

Zhang Beixing had leaped from the original tenth place to seventh.

Moreover, his entry on the list was highlighted in bold red font, exceedingly eye-catching!

And replacing him at the bottom was none other than the Sect Leader of the Primordial Form Intent School, Ma Yuankai, who had just been knocked to the ground by Zhang Beixing's punch!

"????"

Seeing this, not only was Liu Yi shocked, but even netizens were baffled. When fans opened the new videos, they were speechless.

"What's going on? How come Brother Dan's ranking suddenly rose after he hadn't updated for a few days? What the hell?"

"Damn, could it be that Brother Dan challenged that Ma Yuankai and just completely demolished him?"

"Knowing Brother Bei as I do, that's definitely possible!"

"Nice one! Making your own ranking list and then going out to challenge everyone on it. You're totally setting up a 'start low, rise high' kind of story, aren't you, you little rascal?"

Netizens discussed fervently. Chen Hegao, Wu Yougui, and others, upon seeing Zhang Beixing's update, also rushed to congratulate him.

Wu Yougui of Black Dragon Eighteen Hands: "Congratulations, Grandmaster Zhang, on advancing further in our Great Xia Grandmaster rankings! Congratulations, congratulations!"

Chen Hegao: "As expected of our Great Xia's youngest Grandmaster! In just a few days, he raised his own ranking. It's just unfortunate that my self-created Unrestricted Combat isn't a formal martial art, so I can only reach the realm of a Pseudo Grandmaster. Otherwise, I'd definitely want to be on that list too, to exchange a few pointers with the other Grandmasters and experience their strength!"

Chen Fenghua of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade: "Master Chen, there's no need. Those senior Grandmasters probably want to preserve their reputations in their later years! (Sweating profusely)"

"Hahaha, roasts from fellow martial artists are always the most lethal! He truly lives up to the name 'Despicable Martial Artist'!"

"......."

As for the other Martial Artists, although they saw the update, they didn't pay much attention.

After all, it was just a change in rankings, nothing major.

Especially since the individuals involved in the change were Zhang Beixing and Ma Yuankai.

As members of the Great Xia martial arts community, they were naturally aware of the grudge between Ma Yuankai and Liu Yi, and they knew about the recent events.

They figured Zhang Beixing had challenged Ma Yuankai to avenge Liu Yi, and had even won, which explained the shift in rankings.

Beyond marveling at Zhang Beixing's skill and strength at such a young age, they had no other particular thoughts.

Other Martial Arts Associations felt the same way.

Consequently, they all quickly made adjustments to their own rankings, eager to ride the wave of popularity.

However, for the Northern River Province's Martial Arts Association, things felt different.

Something isn't right! Having seen the updated list, their expressions turned extraordinarily strange.

As a provincial organization, with Zhang Beixing as their vice-chairman, they had spent a few days with him. While they didn't know him through and through, they had at least some understanding of his character.

Combining this with Zhang Beixing's bold declaration on August 17th—his challenge to the entire nation—they sensed something was amiss!

Could Zhang Beixing have created this list purely to build momentum?

Unimaginable!

If it really was for building momentum, then the scale of this was probably a bit too large!

They could hardly imagine what the reaction of the other Martial Arts Associations would be once they finally caught on.

This wasn't some Grandmaster list; it was clearly a martial arts hit list—a mini Schindler's List for beatings, a 'harmonious' version of the Death Note.

Except for Liu Yi and Wu Yougui, who were on good terms with Zhang Beixing, every other person on that list, every single one of them, would have to stand at attention and take their beating!

Of course, whether Zhang Beixing could actually beat them was another matter entirely, but they would all definitely be called out!

But we like it!

After all, it wouldn't be them losing face when the time came.

On the contrary, as the Martial Arts Association of Zhang Beixing's home province, if Zhang Beixing truly could overturn the national martial arts scene single-handedly and fight his way to the top, that would be incredible! They could even bask in some of his glory.

Let's add fuel to their impending disgrace!

With an attitude of relishing the prospect of a major spectacle, the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, after a brief silence, decided to get involved.

They reposted Zhang Beixing's updated list and spent a considerable sum on Dou Jia promotion.

Their motive was simple: they just wanted to see the bewildered, stuck-in-an-awkward-predicament expressions on the faces of the other Martial Arts Associations when they finally reacted to Zhang Beixing's next move.

At the same time, their curiosity about Zhang Beixing's other video grew immensely.

If the first list video already revealed so many interesting things, then the other one must be even more explosive!
