Chapter 17: Escalation

“There’s a traitor in our group!”

The moderator announced formally, “To break the restraints that the old-generation martial fighters imposed on the younger generation, the founder has uploaded all kinds of techniques at great risks, but somebody told the secret and got the founder into hospital again. We all should despise such acts! If I ever find you, you will know the consequences of Dongfang Bisheng’s fury!”

Baili Qingfeng read the moderator’s declaration and noticed that his nickname was Dongfang Bisheng.

He could see from his name that he must be a top expert.

Baili Qingfeng began to go through the techniques that Proud Sword God, the founder, had recently uploaded.

A moment later, Baili Qingfeng had to admit that…

All the techniques seemed legit. Even though they were not as good as the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves, the Thunderous Breathing, and the Thunderous Juggernaut Method, the gap was not huge. Some of them were even…

They were even more sophisticated than the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves and the Thunderous Breathing?

“The performance of those techniques boils down not to themselves but to the people who cultivate them… As long as one is distinguished enough, one can pick up any technique.”

Reading for a while, Baili Qingfeng focused his attention back on the discussion.

At this moment, the topic had already deviated. They were talking about how to comfort the founder with gifts. Some proposed to offer oranges, some proposed to send chicks, and some proposed to send themselves…

One had to admit that Bai Yuxiao’s contribution had been rewarded.

At that moment, somebody said in the group. “Martial arts is too demanding. I’ve practiced for three years, but I have achieved nothing yet. Is there any top technique easy to learn and powerful? It doesn’t have to be very powerful. As long as I can defeat a dozen war-level experts after I grasp it, it will be good enough.”

A bunch of messages followed the moment he said that.

“Same here. I also want such techniques.”

“I haven’t gathered power yet after three years of exercising. Even my cousin mocks me in my house and says that even a girl is better than me. Give me a dozen such techniques and I’ll show them what a real man is like!”

“Founder and moderator, can you recommend one of such techniques? I can pay for that. Money is not a problem.”

Everybody was shouting.

At this moment, Dongfang Bisheng, the moderator, seemed rather angry. “We are young fighters who have come together for dreams. Do you know what dreams are? You are humiliating me with your talks about money!”

Then, a red packet was sent into the group chat.

Baili Qingfeng was fast enough to click it first. He got 186.66 bucks.

“How generous,” Baili Qingfeng said sincerely.

It was almost the wages of a whole month for the new graduates.

“I got one cent. I despise you.”

“Three cents here. Watermelons are falling on my head!”

“I was fast enough, but I only got 25 cents.”

“…”

Baili Qingfeng was at a loss for words.

“Calm down, calm down. The founder has already found us a powerful and easy-to-learn technique, except that we never read it carefully.”

At this moment, another moderator, nicknamed ‘Gentleman’s Sword’, appeared and posted a technique. “Check it out.”

“Demonic Dissolution? It sounds rather awesome. I’ll download it first.” Somebody immediately cheered.

Baili Qingfeng opened the document.

Demonic Dissolution was an explosive technique. It was definitely powerful.

However, it was not necessarily easy to learn.

The human body had a self-defense mechanism. One would pass out when there was too much pain, could not exert any strength when bones were broken or muscles were torn and would be rigid when horrified. A typical example was that an ordinary person could never punch a wall with all his strength because his subconscious would reduce the strength when his fist hit the wall in case he was hurt.

Demonic Dissolution was meant to break such a self-defense mechanism.

“It’s powerful and easy to pick up as long as one has enough willpower… Or rather, even if one does not have enough willpower, they can still learn it fast if they are simpleminded and never think much. The only disadvantage is that, since the self-defense mechanism is gone, one will be terribly hurt, if not crippled, after a battle…”

However…

Was it a problem for Baili Qingfeng?

“Great technique. I will practice it.”

Baili Qingfeng recorded Demonic Dissolution and sent a message. “Great job, moderator. Can you recommend any other techniques that can build yourself up after you are wounded?”

“I recommend the guy above to practice the Universal Dominating Sword Art. You can be anything you want after that.”

“The Seven Deadly Punchings is the best.”

“I recommend the saber arts.”

“Us martial fighters must not be scared of difficulties! Now that we’ve embarked on this path, we have to always be ready to pay everything to move forward! I highly recommend the Evil Annihilation Sword Art1!”

“The Evil Annihilation Sword Art?”

Baili Qingfeng immediately searched.

Soon, he asked again, “There is no Evil Annihilation Sword Art in the forum, is there?”

Gentleman’s Sword sent a coughing emoji and said, “You’d better be cautious about what you practice in martial arts.”

Baili Qingfeng searched again. Not just the Evil Annihilation Sword Art, the other techniques mentioned were also unavailable. The founder probably hadn’t uploaded them yet. He felt regretful.

“I wonder when the founder will leave the hospital,” Baili Qingfeng said.

The class was beginning soon. Instead of continuing to search, he returned to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, Buttu, Gu Le and Momil were already awake. Apparently, they more or less remembered what happened last night, and it was awkward when they met Baili Qingfeng again.

However, Gu Le and Buttu said nothing and went to class soon. They were obviously more distant from each other now.

“I have to move out now,” Baili Qingfeng said.

It was inconvenient to practice martial arts in school. Besides, he also intended to cultivate the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves, the Thunderous Breathing and even the Thunderous Juggernaut Method with electric power. He could not achieve his purpose in the dormitory where the breakers could trip at any moment.
