Origin Points Surge; Taking the Alias Li Hansha, He Seeks to Test the Martial World

Gu Chen opened the comments section for the novel Dragon Snake and quickly discovered that it had exploded. Countless book fans and netizens were leaving comments and discussing it below.

:Holy shit! That video that hit the trending searches today was insane! That National Martial Arts Master was simply unbelievable! He was probably even fiercer than Wang Chao from the book! He walked over sheer cliffs as if on level ground, leaped down from a cliff over twenty meters high, ran across water, and coolly saved a drowning child. Could National Martial Arts really do something like this?!

:Author! Come out and explain the video online! Is National Martial Arts real? Could someone really cultivate into a Pillaring Grandmaster by following the methods in the book?!

:I said it long ago—the author of Dragon Snake had to be a National Martial Arts Expert in real life! Now there's solid proof, isn't there?!

:Brothers! I've decided! I'm starting to learn National Martial Arts right now! I want to cultivate into a Pillaring Grandmaster too!

:The guy above, what the hell are you dreaming about? Wang Chao in the book has only just glimpsed the edge of Pill Embracement. Do you think you're some martial arts prodigy born one in ten thousand?!

:I get the feeling the author is no simple man! I wonder what stage of National Martial Arts the great author has cultivated to by now?!

:...

Watching the lively discussion in the comments, Gu Chen could not help but smile. He had long since used the Refine Illusion into Reality System to anonymize the book he had published. No matter who searched, they would never find him, the true author!!

In just a single day, riding on the influence of both the video and the novel Dragon Snake, he had gained 150,000 Origin Points. That counted as recouping a round of costs. Added to what he had left before, he now possessed 200,000 Origin Points, enough for his next plan.

While the online video was still generating buzz, Gu Chen spent another 50,000 Origin Points to Refine Falsehood Into Truth for several characters at the Transforming Strength realm, scattering them throughout cities near Cloud Hidden Mountain. He also gave them added identities: an old man sweeping floors at a martial arts school, a beggar, or someone hidden away in prison. Their corresponding memories were created along with the Refine Falsehood Into Truth process.

After finishing all this, Gu Chen used the System's power to link his mind once more with the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster clone created through Refine Falsehood Into Truth. Using the System's power of Refine Falsehood Into Truth, he changed into coarse hemp clothes and thousand-layer cloth shoes, picked a direction, and strode swiftly toward the nearest city, Fuzhou.

Fuzhou was only a little over two hundred kilometers from Cloud Hidden Mountain. Such a distance was nothing to a Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster who had shattered the limits of the human body. In the later stages of the book, protagonists such as the Pill Embracement Wang Chao and Li Hansha moved faster than cheetahs, and their breath and qi were deep and enduring enough to maintain such speed for long periods.

After running only several dozen kilometers, the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster clone suddenly sensed two familiar gazes. His racing footsteps came to an abrupt halt. Gu Chen, whose mind was linked with his, sensed them as well. Turning his head, he spotted two familiar people—the Streamer Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli, the two women he had encountered at Cloud Hidden Mountain that afternoon.

At that moment, Streamer Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli stared dumbfoundedly at the mysterious Expert running neck and neck with their car on the highway. Sun Na, who was driving, lost her grip on the steering wheel, and the car drifted straight to the side. Having lost control, the two women screamed.

Aahhh...

Gu Chen, linked in mind with the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster clone, could not help twitching at the corner of his eye. Female drivers were far too unreliable—she had lost control of the car over this?!

He lifted a leg and stomped the ground. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant and appeared more than twenty meters away. He reached out and pressed a hand against the front of the out-of-control car. The instant they made contact, the muscles and tendons across his body tightened and trembled, relaxing and tensing like a python swallowing and spitting. In the blink of an eye, he redirected the force carried by the car, which had been traveling at nearly seventy kilometers per hour, into the ground beneath his feet. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly burst across the concrete.

Streamer Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli, screaming from the driver's seat, seemed as though someone had hit pause. Their mouths hung so wide open that they could practically fit duck eggs inside.

A human being could actually catch a speeding car with his bare hands? Wasn't that the sort of staged scene found only in movies? Was this really something a normal human could do?!

After letting go of the car, Gu Chen, linked in mind with the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster, could not help marveling inwardly at the power of this body. It could truly accomplish something like "catching a speeding car bare-handed," something that only happened in movies. It truly was unbelievable.

"E-Expert, thank you so much for saving our lives! Where are you going? We can give you a ride if it's on the way..."

After coming back to her senses, Streamer Sun Na swallowed and gathered her courage to speak.

Hearing this, Gu Chen, linked in mind with the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster, had a glint flash through his eyes. The woman before him was a Streamer with quite a few fans. If he brought her along, perhaps he could use her livestream to spread National Martial Arts even further, making more people believe in its existence. Then he could gain another batch of Origin Points. This would undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone.

With that thought, Gu Chen made his decision. He quickly fabricated a name for himself and said calmly, "You may call me Li Hansha. There is no need to call me an Expert. I am merely an insignificant seeker of the Way. If it is on the way, I do not mind..."
