People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy
Chapter 161 The Truth About Martial Arts
No matter where you are, if you want to become famous overnight, you can't do without media tools.
Just like in my previous life, under the alienation of capital, any hot topic will give rise to many lucky individuals—except that in this life, there are also requirements for the strength of these lucky individuals.
The admiration for strength in the martial arts world is far more exaggerated than in my previous life, and the backlash is equally significant.
I scrolled through videos on my phone for a while, and three out of ten videos were related to the college league. Self-media outlets swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, trying to grab a piece of the pie in this traffic frenzy.
For example, the street interview video that Su Bei is watching right now.
"Which three universities do you think will take the top three spots in this university league?"
After a moment's thought, the passerby in the video said, "My first choice is Martial God University, my second choice is True Martial University, and my third choice is Starry Sky University or Jade Capital University."
"So what did you base your judgment on?"
"..."
Scroll to the next video
"Ninety-nine percent of people don't know that a combat program is hidden in human DNA!"
"Want to know what secret weapons the top ten universities have prepared for the league? Today, I'll take you inside the teams of the top ten universities' Night Watch University to find out!"
"Why are overseas players also participating in the league this time? Let me tell you the answer..."
After swiping through several videos, Su Bei's fingertip paused on the screen, the video frame freezing—it was a battle clip of [Kenshin] in a public competition—his swordplay was not flashy, even somewhat archaic, but every strike was terrifyingly precise, and his opponent's defense was like paper in front of him, easily torn apart.
The sword intent was so sharp that it seemed to sting one's eyes even through the screen.
"His swordsmanship has no superfluous movements, only the purest killing intent." In the video, a martial arts commentator commented, "Some people say his swordsmanship is like a machine, but a machine doesn't have his 'momentum'."
The image flashes, pauses, and freezes.
[Kenshin] stood atop a mountain, his white robes fluttering, his long sword pointing diagonally at the sky, its blade shrouded in a faint frost.
The comments section was flooded with phrases like "Sword Qi Condensed into Frost" and "Sword Heart Without Dust"...
Only then did the narration begin.
"Hello everyone, this is Martial Arts Truth Master. Today we continue our series on young talents. This episode will focus on the second-ranked member of the Prodigy Ranking, [Sword Heart]."
"【Kenshin】, real name unknown, origin unknown, the current closed-door disciple of the Sword Pillar, entered the mortal world at the age of sixteen, unparalleled in swordsmanship, winning all three battles..."
"..."
Kenshin, as a disciple of the Sword Pillar, carries a certain mystique and attracts an astonishing amount of attention. A quick glance at his account in the comments section reveals that despite having only posted three videos, he boasts a staggering ten million followers.
Martial artists at the Pillar level also have their own accounts. Su Bei curiously looked through them and found that the number of followers was ridiculously high.
Even Zhang Liyan, who is not very famous, has millions of fans.
"If this were used for live-streaming e-commerce..."
A thought flashed through Su Bei's mind: if it were used for live-streaming e-commerce, the profits would probably be astronomical.
After following the blogger "Martial Arts Truth Master", Su Bei turned off his phone.
In this day and age, anyone who can become an internet celebrity must have some substance; at the very least, their abilities must be significantly stronger than the vast majority of people.
Su Bei was more curious about whether his own biography would attract any attention.
In the comments section under that video, many people were urging for more updates.
When will Su Bei, who's ranked number one on the Prodigy Ranking, finish his task? [The top ten are almost all done; shouldn't it be the number one's turn soon?]
[Could the blogger talk about the number one player on the Prodigy Ranking?]
The list of prodigies also garners considerable attention.
"Do it? How do I do it?"
In a secluded courtyard in Yujing City, Martial Arts Truth Master stared at the message board on his computer screen, his fingers unconsciously tapping the desktop. His studio wasn't large, but it was fully equipped, and the walls were covered with information and battle analysis charts of the contestants on the Prodigy Ranking.
As a self-media blogger, he is quite capable, being a second-level martial artist. After graduating from the Communication University of China, he devoted himself to the self-media industry and has made considerable progress.
His biographical series, in particular, is a project that can be explored in depth and is very popular.
"Su Bei, who is ranked first on the list of geniuses..." he muttered to himself, his brows furrowed slightly.
Compiling biographies of people from northern Jiangsu is far more challenging than imagined.
Since the emergence of the Prodigy Ranking, whether based on family interests or personal brilliance, almost everyone on the list has risen to prominence, and the popularity is not low—these are all tangible benefits, and even reclusive families cannot escape this trend.
Therefore, information about other prodigies can be more or less gleaned from public competitions, interviews, or rumors within the martial arts circle, but Su Bei is different—his combat records are extremely rare, and his public appearances are even fewer.
The only thing that could be found was some clips from last year's Zhenwu University Five Schools League: but at that time, he was only facing a few freshmen, and it was almost a complete rout, with his expression not changing at all throughout the game.
There is some information about northern Jiangsu on some marketing accounts, but it is mostly baseless. They dare to say things like the illegitimate son of the Beast Pillar, military leaders, and the youngest grandmaster.
That's utter nonsense.
“This guy is like a black hole,” Martial Arts Truth Guy rubbed his temples. “Even ‘Pillar’ level powerhouses occasionally give interviews, but he doesn’t even have a social media account.”
—At least he inquired through friends, but he himself couldn't find it.
He also tried some other channels to obtain information about northern Jiangsu, but was warned by the relevant departments and gave up the idea.
But this only fueled his curiosity. How could someone who creates profiles of people not be curious?
He also had a feeling that if he could produce a detailed profile of the people in northern Jiangsu, the traffic would definitely explode!
The assistant pushed open the door and handed over a set of data that had just been compiled: "Boss, the data for this period is out, and we're ranked second in the same period last year!"
"The data is even better than the one from the Wild Man Li Chixin episode!"
Thanks to the National College League, Li Chixin, a top-ranked contestant on the Prodigy List, has gained considerable popularity. Jianxin's ability to surpass him is enough to demonstrate his status in the hearts of many netizens.
Su Bei is also one of the contestants from Zhenwu University this time, so he naturally receives a lot of attention.
The assistant said excitedly, "If we can publish a special feature on the biographies of people from northern Jiangsu this time, and ride the wave of popularity, our biographies brand will be fully established!"
Martial Arts Truth Master glanced at the data and suddenly laughed: "If there's no data, then create data."
He opened the official contact email for the Heavenly Pride Ranking and quickly typed a line of text:
"We are requesting an exclusive interview with northern Jiangsu. The terms are negotiable."
After sending the email, he turned to his assistant and said, "Go contact the people in the Zhenwu University Martial Arts Club and tell them that we are willing to pay the corresponding compensation. More money is fine, it's just to exchange for an opportunity to contact the students in Subei."
The assistant was taken aback: "Isn't this too expensive?"
“In the era of internet traffic, information is gold.” Wu Dao Zhen Shi Jun narrowed his eyes. “Besides… if it can be done, the profits will definitely not be low.”
"Without further delay, let's set off now."
……
Meanwhile, the flying shuttle had already landed in Yujing. (End of Chapter)
