The monstrously powerful Pillaring Grandmaster Li Hansha had left, but Fang Hansong, the deeply hidden Wing Chun White Crane Fist Transformation Grandmaster, was still here!!

With an expert like a sweeping monk right inside their gym, if he could offer them some guidance, wouldn't they also have a chance to step through the gate known as "National Martial Arts" and become just as strong?!

For a moment, everyone in the gym stared at Fang Hansong with blazing eyes.

Fang Xiu, the gym owner, took a deep breath. Having witnessed the power of National Martial Arts, she swiftly made up her mind. Walking up to Fang Hansong, she spoke respectfully, "This junior failed to recognize Mount Tai before her eyes and did not realize you were such a hidden Expert, Senior. I wonder if you could..."

Before she could finish, Fang Hesong plopped down onto the floor, panting heavily. He waved his hand and spoke with lingering fear in his heart.

"Enough, Fang Kid. I only came at your grandfather's request to look after you. As for learning Wing Chun White Crane Fist and training up Internal Force to get started, let this old man catch his breath first. That brat just now was far too monstrous. The Internal Force in his body was incomparably fierce, like cannonballs. If this old man didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve, I would've lost in a single exchange..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu's heart trembled. She finally understood why this mysterious Expert had been working as an elderly cleaner at the martial arts gym—he had old ties with her grandfather. Excited and thrilled, she thought that with this connection, she would surely one day reach the same level as those two.

"Uncle Fang, what does Pill Embracement mean?!"

Faced with Fang Xiu's question, Fang Hansong began explaining at an unhurried pace. "Pill Embracement refers to a Transformation Master comprehending the changes of Internal Force, seeking life amid death, and condensing all the Internal Force, qi, blood, and intent throughout the body into a pill, thereby becoming a National Arts Grandmaster. The difficulty involved is beyond imagination. One slight misstep could result in death. In this End of Dharma Era, talent and brilliance like this are Rarely Seen in a Century. Truly, each generation brings forth its own outstanding figures. I'm old, after all—I can't compare to the young anymore..."

After hearing Fang Hansong's sighing words, Fang Xiu finally understood just how powerful and heaven-defying the Pillaring Grandmaster named "Li Hansha" truly was.

Meanwhile, far away in Coastal City, Main Body Gu Chen severed his mental connection with the Pillaring Vigorous Strength Grandmaster avatar and could not help letting out a long breath.

The first script he had orchestrated had come to a perfect conclusion! Everything had turned out wonderfully! Now, it remained to be seen just how great a storm this craze called "National Martial Arts" could stir up online, how many Origin Points it could bring him, and whether it would allow him to advance further and Refine Falsehood Into Truth into an even more powerful Supernatural System.

However, the lightning-fast spread of information in the internet age still caught him somewhat by surprise. Footage of avatar Li Hansha sparring with Transformation Boxer Fang Hansong at the Wing Chun White Crane Boxing Gym quickly spread everywhere. One reason was the Stream Friends and fans from female streamer Sun Na's livestream, while another was the surveillance footage from the Wing Chun White Crane Boxing Gym.

The former spread quickly because the livestream had quite a few fans—one person shared it, another reposted it. The latter, meanwhile, was complete surveillance footage that captured the entire martial arts gym and recorded the full exchange between Li Hansha and Fang Hansong.

With those two videos, along with the fact that many students at the Wing Chun White Crane Boxing Gym had phones and filmed the traces of destruction left behind after their clash before uploading them online, they likewise drew countless Netizens to watch.

All these factors combined to set off another heated discussion online. After all, it had not been long since the viral footage of someone leaping off a cliff and running across water to save someone. Now another video had emerged, stirring up yet another wave of National Martial Arts fever.

:Holy crap, that Expert coming to spar was insane! They even smashed up the concrete floor and the walls? Is that really destructive power a human can unleash?!

:For normal humans, it's impossible to possess such exaggerated destructive power. It goes against common human sense. And that sweeping old man—I had to slow the footage down two or three times just to see his movements clearly. He was way too fast...

:National Martial Arts? Isn't that just martial arts? Does anyone still believe this stuff is real these days? If people could train to that level, it would defy scientific common sense...

:The guy above is too shallow-minded. Even the old man sweeping the floor might be an Expert. Our Central Province Land is a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons abound—who knows what the truth of this world really is? For all you know, some Expert is hidden away in those mountains and rivers!

:Don't try to talk me out of it! Starting today, I'm going to learn National Martial Arts! Where do I sign up?!

:+1 to the guy above!

:I think the recent foundational National Martial Arts genre novel Dragon Snake fits perfectly! The author is very likely a super Expert no less formidable than Li Hansha. It describes bright, dark, and Transforming Strength in such detail and explains everything so clearly!!

:...

As another wave of National Martial Arts fervor rose, the foundational National Martial Arts genre novel Dragon Snake undoubtedly went viral once more, drawing countless Netizens to watch. The comment section beneath the novel exploded again. Quite a few Netizens even entertained the idea of learning National Martial Arts from the novel, and there were no small number of them.
