January 18 was an ordinary day, yet for many, it marked the beginning of shock.
At exactly 2 p.m., a new option suddenly appeared among the physical cover images in the movement technique category of Limitless Home's online store—"Willow Catkins in the Wind."
Newly listed manuals received one opportunity for promotion across the entire network. Every official martial artist of the Limitless Martial Arts School received a system email. Opening it led directly to the store link, with an introduction to the movement technique and its origins attached below.
When countless curious martial artists opened the attachment and discovered that it had been created by a nineteen-year-old youth named Xia Zhi, they all cried out in disbelief, calling him a monster.
The manual was accompanied by Xia Zhi's profile. In the same year he became a martial artist, he had passed the assessment and entered the Elite Training Camp. His movement technique had been judged by Hong, the world's strongest expert, to be a Perfect level movement technique.
There was even a message from Hong: "This movement technique allows practitioners to better attune themselves to the natural world and gain insight from heaven and earth. It offers clear guidance for training and improvement, and is therefore rated S-class."
With the endorsement of the world's strongest expert and their curiosity about a peerless genius capable of creating such a technique, nearly every martial artist clicked the link and entered the online store. Within the page for the "Willow Catkins in the Wind" manual, there were unexpectedly three pricing tiers.
"Willow Catkins in the Wind," category: movement technique. Rating: S-class. Price: 2 billion Huaxia Coin at full price, 1 billion Huaxia Coin at half price. Requirement: two-star contribution points.
"Willow Catkins in the Wind," Microscopic level section. Price: 100 million Huaxia Coin
