Exposure System in Global Martial Arts!

Global Martial Arts,

Inside a sophomore dorm room at Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Zhang Xuan was drenched in sweat, panting like an ox.

"I finally became a martial artist!"

Zhang Xuan was so excited he could have cried.

Eighteen years had passed since he arrived in the world of Global Martial Arts.

For eighteen years, he had kept his feet on the ground and worked tirelessly, sweating buckets. Thanks to his own efforts, he had successfully earned a place at Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

It was worth mentioning that he and Wang Jinyang, the "female lead" of Global Martial Arts, were in the same year.

But Wang Jinyang was already a third-rank martial artist and the president of Nanjiang Martial Arts University's Martial Arts Club, while he had only just become a martial artist.

Still, Zhang Xuan wasn't discouraged.

You shouldn't take on a job without the skills to do it.

He had no exceptional talent, both his parents were dead, he wasn't one of the Twin Kings, and he didn't even have a system. Getting into a martial arts university and becoming a martial artist in his sophomore year was already a pretty good result for him.

Plenty of martial arts university students didn't become martial artists until graduation. Compared to them, he was already doing well.

When he first arrived in Global Martial Arts, Zhang Xuan had been excited, imagining himself with the voluptuous, beautiful Spirit Emperor in his left arm, petting Grey Cat with his right hand, and standing with Heavenly Emperor and the Seed beneath his feet.

But without talent or a cheat, all his fantasies were just fantasies.

Fortunately, he hadn't blamed the heavens or anyone else. Instead, he'd adjusted his expectations, worked hard, gotten into a martial arts university, and become a martial artist.

Now, Zhang Xuan's goal was to keep his head down and wait for Fang Ping to resolve everything. Once the interstellar era began, he could at least get a share of the spoils as a "veteran" of Southern Martial University. Maybe he'd even make it to the sixth or seventh rank.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help smiling.

He stretched, ready to take a shower and head out for a nice meal to celebrate becoming a martial artist.

He had just stood up when a flash of white light suddenly streaked by.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly shut his eyes and stumbled back several steps. When he opened them again, a system panel appeared right before him.

"A system!"

Zhang Xuan was delighted, but the next moment, his expression turned a little odd.

The system he'd awakened wasn't Deep Blue Add Points or Furnace Artifact Refining. It was the Exposure System!

The greater the potential impact of an exposure, the richer his reward would be. Those who made the list would also receive rewards.

"Now that's something."

Zhang Xuan marveled silently.

Judging by this system alone, he would have thought he'd transmigrated into Douluo Continent.

In his previous life, Zhang Xuan had read plenty of fan fiction about the Sky Screen exposing people in Douluo Continent. This was his first time seeing a Sky Screen exposure story for Global Martial Arts.

"Since that's the case, I'll give this world a little shock!"

Zhang Xuan grinned, already thinking of several fun rankings.

He immediately set about creating the Sneaky Ranking.

How many Sneaky Bastards were there in Global Martial Arts?

But who would take the top spot?

Just look at the ranking!

With the system's help, Zhang Xuan quickly finished creating the Sneaky Ranking.

Without another word, he released it!

"Hot pot! I'm definitely having hot pot today to celebrate my new life!"

Zhang Xuan beamed, unable to stop himself from humming a little tune.

As the system released the ranking, a gigantic golden Sky Screen tore through the firmament and hung across the heavens!

Throughout the entire world of Global Martial Arts—whether on Earth, in the Earth Cave, at the Origin Source, or in the Small Worlds—anyone who looked up could see the enormous Sky Screen radiating a mysterious aura!

[The Sky Screen of the myriad heavens and worlds has appeared. The Heavenly Dao Ranking is hereby established.]

[All those who make the list shall receive a reward. The rewards vary according to ranking.]

A majestic golden message appeared, accompanied by a divine voice devoid of emotion that echoed across the entire world.

[First Ranking: Sneaky Ranking!]

Faced with such a terrifying and astonishing supernatural phenomenon, no one in the world could ignore it!

In an instant, everyone was alarmed!

Whether on Earth, in the Earth Cave, at the Origin Source, or in the Small Worlds, everyone was watching the strange sight in the sky!

Magic Martial University,

Fang Ping had just finished tempering his bones when he looked up at the strange sight, feeling a little nervous.

"Why did the sky suddenly change? Could this have something to do with my system?"

Fang Ping muttered to himself, his whole body tense.

He couldn't help overthinking. He was a reincarnator with a system, after all.

If this Sky Screen exposed him as a reincarnator and a Sneaky Bastard with a system, he'd be done for!

"System, you can't just screw over your host like this!"

Fang Ping was on the verge of tears. He wanted to run, too, but where could he go with his strength?

Human Realm, Capital.

"Minister, that strange Sky Screen is visible everywhere—even in the Earth Cave!"

Zhang Tao's heart sank when he heard this.

Such power couldn't have been wielded by a human. Could it be the legendary immortals—or an extraterrestrial civilization from a higher dimension?

But what was their goal? Surely they hadn't done it just for fun.

Zhang Tao stared at the Sky Screen hanging across the heavens, his brows tightly furrowed. His heart gave a sudden lurch, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Sky Screen exposure, Sneaky Ranking..."

Sneaky Bastards... Would he make the list?

If he did, wouldn't all his plans be exposed by this strange Sky Screen?

Humanity was in peril!

"Zhang Tao, the heavens have changed!"

Li Zhen tore through the void and appeared beside Zhang Tao, his expression grave.

"I asked the Old Ancestor. He doesn't know where the Sky Screen came from, either!"

"Even the Heaven Suppressing King doesn't know where the Sky Screen came from?"

Zhang Tao's expression grew extremely grave. He thought for a moment, then made his decision.

"Pass the word down. Go on combat alert and tighten our defensive lines!"

"Have the experts stationed in every region prepare to suppress any unrest and reassure the public at a moment's notice!"

No matter which Sneaky Bastard made the list, the Sky Screen's revelations would cause a massive uproar!

Especially those so-called rewards... If an Earth Cave True King received a powerful reward, humanity would truly be in mortal danger!

Earth Cave, Heavenly Plant Royal Court.

King Huai watched the Sky Screen, his expression shifting between dark and light.

He often studied human civilization, so he naturally knew what "sneaky bastard" meant.

Sneaky Bastard = someone who schemed in the shadows.

"No, I need to get out of here and hide!"

Remembering the things he had done, King Huai made up his mind at once.

Whether or not he made the list, he was going to run. He'd hide somewhere no one could easily find him.

While King Huai was making his escape, King Ming of the Heavenly Fate Royal Court sneered.

"The Sky Screen? Just smoke and mirrors!"

King Ming sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

He wanted to see who was behind these tricks!

The next moment, King Ming shot into the air and punched toward the Sky Screen. The void shuddered and cracked!

"Ah!!!"

Before King Ming could hit the Sky Screen, the force of his punch rebounded, sending him flying and spitting blood.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"That's the Palace Lord!"

"King Ming flew up—and now he's flown right back!"

"It looks like King Ming's throwing up blood... Quite a lot of it!"

The True Kings and everyone else in the Heavenly Fate Royal Court watched King Ming fly toward the Sky Screen, then fly back spitting blood. They shuddered with fear, filled with awe and wariness toward the Sky Screen.

"Pfft! What the hell is this Sky Screen? It can even reflect my attack!"

King Ming trembled, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and stared at the Sky Screen in fear and alarm.

Meanwhile,

At the Origin Source,

God Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Heaven Fighting Emperor, and the others were equally solemn.

"The Sky Screen... Who knows whether this sudden turn of events is for good or ill?"

"It projected itself into the Origin Source without leaving the slightest sign or trace. The one behind it must be terrifyingly powerful!"

"Doesn't that mean it could expose us, too?"

"Ten thousand years of planning could be ruined in an instant!"

"..."

Even Heavenly Emperor, who was under suppression, heard the Sky Screen's voice. He stared at it, his expression shifting as his heart tightened.

"Such an unusual sight... Could the Seed and Yang God have joined forces to do this?!"

In the Small World,

Earth Emperor's avatar, Daoist Fengyun, gazed quietly at the Sky Screen.

Then he smiled. "Interesting. It looks like the world's about to descend into chaos!"

Sneaky Bastards, schemers in the shadows... He, too, wanted to know which ones there were in the Three Realms, and where Earth Emperor Hong himself would rank!

(A breakdown of power levels in Global Martial Arts:

First rank through ninth rank, with first rank the lowest. Those at seventh rank could be called Grandmasters.

Above the ninth rank, humans were Peak martial artists, while the Earth Cave had True Kings. Above Peak martial artists came Emperor level, also called Emperor Venerables.

Above Emperor level was the Saint realm, and above Saints were the Heavenly Kings. Heavenly Kings were divided into Break-Six, Break-Seven, and Break-Eight!

Above Break Eight was Break Nine, the realm of Emperors!)
