Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Upon seeing each other, both were taken aback.

Then, they exchanged some pleasantries.

During their small talk, Zhang Beixing had an idea. Perhaps I can use this security captain to learn about the patrol intensity in the grove, he thought. So, he began to subtly probe for information.

The security captain, not suspecting anything, readily shared the details.

Zhang Beixing learned that they would be patrolling the area for seven days, starting at 7:00 a.m. and ending at 10:00 p.m. each day. The patrol wasn't very intensive, mainly a formality to appease the students.

Zhang Beixing understood. After a quick calculation, he realized he would have three hours each day to train here, so he decided to continue as usual.

The only difference was that his training times for Yue Family Continuous Boxing and the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade were shifted to early dawn and late night, respectively.

「June 8, Thursday.」

It was 5:30 in the morning.

Feeling the potent Hidden Force coursing through his body, Zhang Beixing felt confident that smashing a wooden post with a single punch would no longer be an issue.

He mused, My Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is mastered, and the Hidden Force Descending Dragon technique will be ready soon. It's time to get my Douyin account back. With this in mind, he prepared to call Lin Siqi to have her come and film him.

However, before he could make the call, Zhang Beixing bumped into Chen Rourou, who had surreptitiously come to the grove for extra training.

Since someone had willingly presented herself, Zhang Beixing wasn't about to be polite.

Regardless of Chen Rourou's willingness, he thrust his phone into her hand and instructed her to record his martial arts training.

At first, Chen Rourou was quite reluctant. This is a waste of my training time, she grumbled internally. And it's just the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade. Those netizens online won't understand the nuances. Is this really necessary?

But soon afterward,

ROAR!

WHOOSH!

BOOM!

As she watched Zhang Beixing practice the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, hearing the Tiger Roar, Rolling Thunder, and Blood Surging sounds emanating from deep within his body… "Nngh…" Chen Rourou shivered violently, nearly wetting her jeans from fright. Then, she was utterly dumbfounded!

Th-this… this is… She squeezed her legs together and cleared her ears, her face a mask of disbelief. After repeatedly confirming she hadn't misheard, her mind flashed back to the tiger incident at Shi University a week ago. Even though the school authorities had dismissed it as a natural phenomenon, many at Shi University remained skeptical to this day, suspecting a cover-up. Chen Rourou had been one of those skeptics. Now, it seemed her doubts were justified, though not entirely in the way she'd imagined. It wasn't a real tiger making that roar… it was Zhang Beixing! Holy crap… So, you were the one causing all that commotion? And I was even worried about you back then! But why would a person make such sounds? Could this be the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, achieved only at the Great Accomplishment stage of Internal Boxing? I don't recall Grandfather ever mentioning this… or perhaps he never demonstrated it in my presence? Chen Rourou's thoughts raced with a mixture of excitement and confusion. It's not impossible, she decided. I absolutely have to learn this, watch him closely, and aim to succeed in learning his secrets!

Chen Rourou could no longer care about changing her jeans; she ignored the damp warmth spreading below and focused intently on Zhang Beixing.

Although she was now proficient in the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, it was merely proficiency; there was still significant room for improvement.

And to improve faster, watching Zhang Beixing—who had clearly mastered the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade to such a profound level—was evidently the most effective method.

Even if I can't master it immediately, by watching more, I'll be able to report back to Grandfather with such authority. Heh, that's what they call impressive boasting! she thought.

Chen Rourou remained entirely focused on Zhang Beixing, diligently recording him.

Time slipped by unnoticed.

Half an hour later, Zhang Beixing completed his practice of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade.

Seeing this, Chen Rourou was about to approach and ask how he had managed to develop the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. However, she then saw Zhang Beixing take a moment to regulate his breath before walking into the water.

The water submerged him up to his neck.

Zhang Beixing moved slightly in the water, then assumed the starting stance of Yue Family Continuous Boxing. Without any superfluous words, he unleashed a single punch, striking the wooden post that was firmly embedded in the water!

Witnessing this, Chen Rourou was somewhat bewildered, unable to comprehend the situation.

Still, driven by curiosity, she moved closer to observe and continue filming.

It was then, as she peered into the water, that she saw waves ripple out from behind the post after Zhang Beixing threw his punch.

Then,

CRACK!

Captured by Chen Rourou's phone, a faint cracking sound emanated from the wooden post.

Immediately afterward, where Zhang Beixing's fist had connected with the post, intricate cracks spiderwebbed outwards, spread, and then the wood violently burst open!

BANG!!!

Wood chips were carried away by the Lily Waters, scattering everywhere.

A jagged, menacing hole was starkly visible in its place.

The post had split from the inside out!

!!!

Seeing this, Chen Rourou was scared stiff. She instinctively clamped her legs together, but fortunately, she didn't wet herself this time. She merely stood frozen on the spot, utterly dumbfounded.

Her mouth hung open, but she was incapable of uttering a single word.

At the same time, the System's voice resonated beside Zhang Beixing's ear.
