Battling Across the Land, Drawing Every Eye: A Transforming Strength Great Boxer Hidden in Prison

Over the next two days, Gu Chen found time to write Dragon Snake while using the system to link his mind to Li Hansha, his Core Condensation Gang Qi avatar. Li Hansha traveled far and wide, fighting Transforming Strength Great Boxers who had been brought into reality through Refine Falsehood Into Truth and were hidden in various places.

After streamer Sun Na and her best friend Pan Xiaoli got a taste of success broadcasting Li Hansha's visit to the Wing Chun White Crane Boxing Gym, they made up their minds to stick close to this formidable expert.

Over those two days, they followed Li Hansha and met a Xingyi Fist Transformation Boxer disguised as a beggar, a Bagua Palm Transformation Boxer hidden deep in the mountains, and an unassuming old man in a park who was actually a Tai Chi Fist Transformation Boxer. Each encounter caused an even bigger stir than the last.

Thanks to Li Hansha's reputation and online popularity, her Livestream Room's audience and follower count soared nearly tenfold, reaching several hundred thousand followers. Whenever Li Hansha sparred with another hidden National Martial Arts Master, generous viewers sent rockets and smaller gifts flooding in.

All Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli had to do was quietly adjust the camera and point it at Li Hansha and the hidden masters. The gifts rolled in without them breaking a sweat.

A single livestream brought in over a hundred thousand yuan in gifts, sometimes several hundred thousand. That rivaled the platform's top streamers. Every broadcast reached the website's front page, leaving both women dazed, as though they were dreaming.

With income from videos posted on other sites added in, Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli had earned nearly six hundred thousand yuan in just two or three days. Their livestreams might not have made that much in two or three years before.

So Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli clung even tighter to the young Pillaring Grandmaster. They drove him around and paid his expenses, afraid of giving him any reason to be dissatisfied.

Li Hansha knew exactly what they wanted. It did him no harm, though. Their Livestream Room's audience could spread National Martial Arts even further and help Main Body Gu Chen gain more Origin Points.

In just two days, Li Hansha traveled from place to place and fought one or two fierce bouts each day. From Xingyi Fist to Bagua Palm to Tai Chi Fist, the dazzling matches came one after another. Of the five Transformation Boxers brought into reality through Refine Falsehood Into Truth, only one remained: a boxer at the peak of Transforming Strength, hidden in a prison.

For those two days, videos of Li Hansha and the hidden Transformation Boxers were everywhere online, drawing countless viewers. A mysterious door to National Martial Arts seemed to be opening before their eyes. After seeing the fighters' physical power and the damage they could inflict, most people could not help longing for it themselves.

Dragon Snake, the work that had launched the National Martial Arts genre, attracted countless readers too. Its detailed account of Wang Chao's journey from an ordinary high school student to someone approaching the level of a Pillaring Grandmaster made their blood race. And with the note Gu Chen had posted earlier, wasn't he practically telling readers outright that the cultivation methods in the novel were real?!

Entering the world of National Martial Arts meant gaining strength beyond ordinary people. Masters who reached the Transformation Level could easily live past a hundred, perhaps to a hundred and twenty or thirty. Pillaring Grandmasters could control every muscle and the flow of blood throughout their bodies, living to a hundred and fifty or sixty! Strength and a longer life—who could resist that?!

People across Jiuzhou immediately began trying to practice National Martial Arts. The attention brought Gu Chen nearly 400,000 Origin Points, much to his satisfaction. At this rate, bringing his next Supernatural System into reality through Refine Falsehood Into Truth was no longer far off.

In a restaurant in Liucheng, Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli sat watching Li Hansha eat at a speed ordinary people could scarcely imagine. Braised pork, spiced beef, chicken soup, fish... everything vanished into his mouth. Soon he had cleared a whole table of food. Even ten ordinary people might not have finished that much without bursting on the spot!

The downside of a Pill Embrace Cross-Legged Sitting grandmaster's powerful body was the vast amount of energy it needed. Where could that energy come from? Food, of course. Eating half a sheep in one sitting was no great feat, and one such meal could sustain him for an entire day.

Sun Na propped her chin on her hand and watched Li Hansha, while her best friend secretly filmed him on her phone. After two days together, they had learned a fair amount about this Pillaring Grandmaster. He was devoted wholly to pursuing the Way, decisive in everything he did. He seemed to have no thoughts beyond advancing further, even with two attractive women beside him.

When Li Hansha finished eating, he got up and walked out. Sun Na hurried to pay the bill, then followed him with Pan Xiaoli.

Gurgle...

Li Hansha drew a deep breath and set the force within his body circulating, rapidly stimulating his stomach and intestines. The food he had just eaten was digested at a visible rate, and before long, his swollen belly had flattened.

Behind him, Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli watched enviously and could not help muttering to each other.

"I'm so jealous. He eats that much and doesn't gain weight..."

Li Hansha heard her and raised an eyebrow. "If you reach Transforming Strength, you can stimulate your digestion and circulate your internal force and blood. You won't gain weight either. It's not difficult..."

At the words "Transforming Strength," Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli's eyes twitched. They nearly coughed up blood. Over the past two days, they had seen how terrifying those Transforming Strength Great Boxers were. In a fight, they were like human tanks. Rebar, concrete, and trees were as fragile as tofu before them. Were they even ordinary humans?!

The three got into the car. Thirty minutes later, it stopped not far from the heavily guarded Liucheng Prison.

"Great Master, don't tell me the person you're sparring with this time is inside the prison?!" Sun Na asked nervously.

Beside her, Pan Xiaoli looked doubtful too. "Can we really get into a place with security this tight?!"

What were they supposed to tell the guards—that they wanted to go inside and find someone to spar with? They would probably be arrested on the spot!

Li Hansha smiled at their troubled expressions, then turned his burning gaze toward the heavily guarded prison. Battle Intent surged within him. As he circulated blood as heavy as lead and mercury, a powerful pressure radiated from his body.

"When boxing skill reaches a certain point, Transformation Boxers continually circulate their internal force and blood to nourish their bodies and brains. Their sixth sense grows far sharper than an ordinary person's. Some have such profound mastery of the mind that they reach the incredible state of 'perfect sincerity grants foreknowledge'..."

His mysterious words left Sun Na and Pan Xiaoli baffled, but the pressure radiating from him drove them back despite themselves. They did not stop until they were thirty meters away.

A moment later, a long howl erupted from an unremarkable, abandoned isolation cell deep inside Liucheng Prison. The sound made ears ring and startled guards and prisoners alike.

Bang!!

The sturdy iron door of the isolation cell flew off its hinges under a palm strike. A burly man with loose hair and knotted muscles stepped out. His eyes flashed as he found his bearings. Then he stamped the ground, cracking the hard concrete with the terrifying force of the blow, and shot toward the outside like a blur.

Many prisoners and guards saw only a dark shape flash past like a ghost. This Transforming Strength Great Boxer was in his thirties or forties, at the peak of his physical power. Once he moved, covering more than ten meters in a second was no problem.
