"UPROAR—"
After Zhang Beixing spoke those words, the scene erupted like a tidal wave, one surge of clamor louder than the last. Everyone present was astounded by his declaration. Goosebumps prickled their skin as they looked at Zhang Beixing, this young man of only twenty-one, with newfound awe.
At first, when they learned about Zhang Beixing's situation, they had only thought of him as a passionate and fearless, hot-blooded youth. But now, it seemed that beyond that, he was a young man with grand aspirations and great ambition! Otherwise, how could he have uttered such words?
Their hearts were filled with shock. They felt their own perspectives had been too narrow, but now, they were completely opened up. They looked at Zhang Beixing standing at the police station entrance, bathed in sunlight, and never before had he seemed so resplendent, so dazzling!
"Awesome! Grandmaster Zhang is awesome! My perspective was too limited."
"Worthy of being the pride of our Shishi! His words truly elevated the significance of this whole affair! So classy!"
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Does anyone understand how I feel right now? It's like I'm numb all over. How can someone say something so commanding?!"
"Truly worthy of being Great Xia's Grandmaster. Enough said, he's just awesome!"
"Exactly! Awesome!"
The scene was buzzing with an incredible din.
These people had come spontaneously to welcome Zhang Beixing.
Every one of them possessed a touch of passion, more or less.
Now, after hearing Zhang Beixing's speech, the fire in each and every one of their hearts was ignited. Their emotions were stirred, faces flushed with excitement, brimming with enthusiasm!
If such a reaction could occur in real life, it was even more so online.
"Damn it! Damn it all! Why am I not from Shishi? Why, at this very moment, am I not there in person to feel the atmosphere, to hear Brother Dan deliver that golden phrase? I've missed out on a billion!"
"My dad asked me why I was so excited watching a livestream. I pulled him over to watch, and now he's even more thrilled than I am!"
"I have a martial heart, long locked away by worldly toils. Today the dust clears, light shines forth, illuminating mountains and rivers in all their glory. It's a bit embarrassing to say, but the moment this verse came out, I fucking transcended. Just how grand must one's aspirations and ambition be to utter such words?"
"What a line: 'May every person in Great Xia be as strong as a dragon, self-respecting, and self-reliant!' I finally understand why Grandmaster Zhang didn't back down an inch on this matter. He wants to set an example, to use this opportunity to awaken us all!"
"I owe Grandmaster Zhang an apology. I am truly sorry, Grandmaster Zhang. I always thought you were just a hot-blooded, ignorant youth, but now I see that I was the ignorant one. I have been soaking in a stagnant atmosphere for too long, so long that I've become accustomed to it, taking the stagnancy as normal, becoming numb. Ultimately, in that dead water, I would have lost everything, slowly dying. We shouldn't live like this!"
"Damn, the commenter above must be the literature class ace! Good grief, how did you glean so much from Brother Bei's words? Am I the only one who thinks Brother Bei is just showing off? (Facepalm)"
"I also feel like Brother Zhang is showing off, but this time, I have to say, it's brilliant showing off! So damn brilliant! Truly worthy of being someone I follow!"
"This is Zhang Beixing! He's 185 cm tall, weighs 77.5 kg, and is a man with a length of 18 cm! He's Shishi's top bachelor, the representative of Shishi's outstanding youth, a well-known and community-spirited citizen. He once single-handedly fought seventeen human traffickers and even collaborated with the Yanjing military to film a recruitment video. He's the hero of Yiling who took down a local tyrant, a martial arts Grandmaster, and the leading figure in fighting crime! His historical KDA is 17/0/1, and his current KDA is 19/0/1. He's unbeatable in close combat, uses a long spear for long-distance fighting, and can even employ mysterious attack methods at medium range, fighting with a flurry of 'AAAHHHs!'"
"Bro, are you a worm in Brother Dan's stomach or something? How do you know so much about him? (Looking up in admiration, like that dog emoji.)"
"Awesome! This quote is legendary! Front row for the screenshot!"
"Eight hundred meters, a gun. Get it? (Playful dog-head emoji.)"
Online discussions were in full swing. Some people were in shock, others were sharing memes, and even a 'Zhang Beixing Bible' had appeared.
But regardless of who they were, one thing was certain: after this event, Zhang Beixing's fame had been thoroughly established.
Zhang Beixing sensed this himself.
The crowd that had spontaneously come to welcome him was simply too enthusiastic!
"Grandmaster Zhang, could you sign my shirt?"
"Grandmaster Zhang, can we take a photo together?"
"Brother Dan, I've been your fan for ten years! Could you record a short message for me?"
"The words you just spoke were so commanding! Could you say them again for me to record? When I have children, I'll use this audio to motivate them. I'll strive to nurture them into ambitious and aspiring individuals like you!"
"Mr. Zhang, is there any secret to how you've reached this point? Could you share it with us?"
"........"
After finishing the interview with the reporters, Zhang Beixing was surrounded by this enthusiastic crowd.
They were all vying to get his autograph or take photos with him.
Seeing how eager everyone was, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
Being too famous wasn't necessarily a good thing!
"Everyone, please calm down a bit. Don't be like this."
"This is a police station, not the venue for a fan meeting!"
