Chapter 933 - 354: Have You No Shame?
"Hello, Minister Zhang. Actually, I’m also a fan of yours. I’ve been a fan since you first started managing your physique. While being your fan, I’m also your imitator."
"Over the past year, I’ve mimicked you, managing my physique and my facial features, and achieved quite good results."
These two sentences attracted quite a few eyes to the young man.
Including Zhang Beixing.
Indeed, his physique is impressive, nothing but a human clothes hanger, the type that looks good in anything.
As for the face, it’s decent too.
But it’s clearly visible that it’s not entirely natural; there’ve been minor adjustments, not much, still looks fairly natural.
His hairstyle was obviously meticulously styled.
After a glance, Zhang Beixing nodded and said, "Nice, I’m not alone in this."
Upon hearing praise from his idol, the young man visibly became more excited.
"Whether it’s body management or facial management, these are quite simple."
"But Minister Zhang, when it comes to martial arts, I’ve tried, and found I can’t progress any further."
"I started with no martial arts background, and have been learning for a year now."
"Yet, with a year of hard work, I’m still just a Ding-grade Martial Artist, unable to advance further, which is really frustrating."
As he spoke, the young man’s expression gradually became a bit gloomy.
What is the concept of a Ding-grade Martial Artist?
In the martial artist system currently classified by Zhang Beixing, the hierarchy is from strongest to weakest: Transcendent, Great Grandmaster, Grandmaster, followed by Grade A, B, C, and D martial artists.
Presently, the only Transcendent in the world is Zhang Beixing, no others.
There are barely two Great Grandmasters, Leng Bing and Xu Feng.
These two are probably on par with each other. Leng Bing is indeed a Great Grandmaster, but he reached this level thanks to drugs, heavily reliant on luck, his strength elevated but his foundation isn’t solid.
Back when Zhang Beixing was still a Great Grandmaster, if they had fought, no joke, Zhang Beixing would crush him in ten moves!
But a Great Grandmaster is still a Great Grandmaster, the level is there, crushing Grandmasters effortlessly.
As for Xu Feng, he indeed trained step by step, his breakthrough between Grandmaster and Half-Step Grandmaster was directly forged through life-and-death ordeals twice.
This is raw power, with a solid foundation, these two can be said to be second only to Zhang Beixing globally if excluding firearms!
Grandmaster Martial Artists were previously the pinnacle of global combat power, excluding those who became Grandmasters through DE Organization’s experimental drugs, there are only about a hundred and eighty worldwide.
Grade A and B Martial Artists represent the backbone of martial artists worldwide.
The former are masters of major martial arts halls, the latter are backbone members, boxers.
Terms like Judo Master or Taekwondo Black Belt describe such a group.
Even under Zhang Beixing’s Ninth Bureau, these two levels are absolute main forces.
Among the Extraordinary Reserve Team Members, there’s the presence of Grade A Martial Artists, while the majority of reservists are Grade B Martial Artists.
Grade C Martial Artists approximately represent the combat capabilities of the world’s military elite.
Regarding the young man’s mention of Ding-grade Martial Artists...
Roughly equates to someone who has just completed three months in a military boot camp?
Certainly stronger than average people, but the exact extent varies widely, truly hard to pin down.
Zhang Beixing pondered for a while before asking.
"What do you wish to ask? Is it about matters on martial arts?"
"Not precisely about martial arts, but close."
"Based on your actions abroad during this period, and the Ninth Bureau’s official battle record, you struck a massive Mafia organization, DE Organization, and acquired numerous experimental drugs from them."
"I’ve always been interested in this, but not to an obsessive extent, until I learned through some channel that a member of the Ninth Bureau became a Great Grandmaster overnight using these drugs from Class B Martial Artist!"
"This suddenly ignited a fervor in my heart. I want to ask, Minister Zhang, if I, a Ding-grade Martial Artist, could directly become a Grade A Martial Artist or even a Grandmaster by using these drugs?"
"..."
Silence.
This was the second silence in the venue.
The previous silence was when Zhang Beixing had just made a very bold statement directed at the Martial Artists of the Willpower Country.
Now, the silence was due to digesting the young man’s news.
Shocking words indeed!
Words so striking they couldn’t go unnoticed!
It was just words, yet why did it hit everyone present in the heart!
Although now is the age of technology.
Although now is the era of hot weapons.
Nonetheless, the pursuit of personal strength is almost ingrained in the bones of the Great Xia People.
Even if these people present aren’t very keen on the Grade A, B, C, and D martials, being only slightly stronger than average people, that strength is indeed limited.
Even a Grade A Martial Artist might encounter seven or eight big men with knives, unarmed, and probably nine out of ten times, the Grade A Martial Artist would be knocked down and brutally hacked to death on the ground.
