"Revenge, and incidentally, defeat everyone across the country?"

When these words were uttered, not only Su Dakai and Wang Fengyi on the other end of the phone but even Elder Chen and the others in Zhang Beixing's living room were completely dumbfounded by his statement. What on earth was he talking about?

"No kidding? Why on Earth would you go off defeating everyone across the country? And revenge? Who's provoked you now??" Wang Fengyi snatched the phone from Su Dakai's hand and asked, puzzled.

What kind of stunt is this kid pulling now? Although he had long known Zhang Beixing wasn't one to stay idle, he'd never expected him to be *this* restless! The Chris incident had only calmed down a few days ago. And now, he was talking about defeating everyone across the nation. What did he mean by this? After offending everyone abroad, wasn't that enough? Did he have to offend everyone domestically too? Wang Fengyi wondered.

Upon hearing Wang Fengyi's question, Zhang Beixing replied, "This involves matters between us martial artists. It's not something I can explain briefly. Anyway, I'm sorry, Brother Wang. Let me deal with my matters here first, and I'll come find you later!"

"This... alright then!" Hearing Zhang Beixing say this, Wang Fengyi felt it wasn't appropriate to press further. He simply acknowledged it, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then hung up.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Zhang Beixing turned and noticed everyone present staring at him with peculiar expressions, as if looking at some kind of demon.

Noticing this, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but touch his face and wonder, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"Nothing... It's just, Grandmaster Zhang, the approach you mentioned earlier, it couldn't be... defeating everyone across the country???" Elder Chen looked at Zhang Beixing, pushed up his glasses, his face a mask of astonishment and uncertainty.

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing nodded. "Correct!"

This idea had just occurred to him, and so far, it was the only feasible solution. Since they weren't willing to cooperate when he asked politely, he would personally pay them a visit and defeat them! Although it was extreme, it was the best solution Zhang Beixing had devised after careful consideration of the current situation.

After all, when he challenged their schools, they couldn't very well keep their techniques hidden, could they? As long as they didn't hide anything, he, Zhang Beixing, had a hundred ways to learn! A Mental Attribute of 105 was no joke! Especially now that his Power and Constitution had both been raised to 100, his Mental Attribute could also be improved. A Mental Attribute of 105 already made his learning capacity incredibly formidable. If it increased to 110, combined with his own martial arts mastery... in martial arts, he could learn anything at a glance—Bah! I mean, photographic memory wouldn't be a problem at all!

Such a thought flashed through Zhang Beixing's mind, filling him with confidence.

With such learning and comprehension abilities, even Zhang Sanfeng—the so-called Land Immortal and the recognized number one in the Great Xia martial arts community—would have to concede defeat before him! By then, once he had learned the martial arts of various sects and avenged the grievances everyone had recently suffered, his own path to Grandmaster would also become clear. It was a situation with multiple benefits—why not go for it? Zhang Beixing's mind was made up.

However, the others were completely unaware of his reasoning. They were simply shocked—even frightened—by Zhang Beixing's bold declaration when they heard him speak of challenging all the martial artists in the nation.

Wu Yougui shuddered, looking at Zhang Beixing in disbelief. "Defeat everyone across the country? Grandmaster Zhang, are you serious?"

Elder Chen also said, "Grandmaster Zhang, isn't this decision a bit... rash?"

President Liang nodded. "That's what I think too, Grandmaster Zhang. Could you reconsider this matter?"

Defeating everyone in the country certainly sounded domineering. Even though they were all over forty, hearing Zhang Beixing's words made their blood boil with a surge of excitement. But what was the point of doing so? They knew Zhang Beixing probably couldn't bear to see them running around, suffering setbacks and indignities, all in an effort to help him. But surely it didn't warrant going to such extremes!

He challenges the entire country to vent his frustrations and stand up for us. But in this entire affair, Zhang Beixing himself stood to gain nothing. Reality isn't a video game; you can't expect a boss to drop rewards after being defeated! Once Zhang Beixing finished his tour of challenges, he was bound to alienate all those martial artists from Great Xia and become a public enemy! By then, trying to borrow their martial arts secret manuals would become even more difficult! They were not optimistic about this plan.

They all tried to persuade Zhang Beixing, hoping he would calm down and consider a gentler approach. Unfortunately, Zhang Beixing was resolute, completely unswayed by their pleas.

Of course, he knew what Wu Yougui and the others were thinking and that their advice was for his own good. But similarly, he had also carefully considered his actions! It was just that his true reasoning was too astounding, too unbelievable; no one would believe him if he told them. After all, claiming he could absorb someone's skills just by defeating them in a fight sounded too much like boasting.

So, Zhang Beixing opted for the simplest approach, declaring with a wave of his hand, "Rash? I don't think it's rash at all!"

"That settles it. I've made up my mind. You don't need to say any more."
