Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Frenzied Buying Craze, Sales Exceed 100 Million, The Era of Universal Cultivation, Wails Echo Across the Human World

"Great Xia Martial Arts Exam Rankings Released, Is It Really Him?"

"Top 100 Rankings, Celestial Yang City Takes Half, Is It True or False?"

"Cheating in the Martial Exam? Martial Arts Prodigies Springing Up in a Small Town."

...

In short, all kinds of content emerged, and some people had long since lost their sense of respect under the influence of interests.

Subsequently, countless people saw and thoroughly examined the publicly released Great Xia Martial Arts Exam rankings.

For a while, a heated discussion erupted online, and a chorus of criticism arose.

"Damn! Damn! Really damn it! How dare someone falsify such a significant matter?"

"Bastard! I was wondering why my son ranked so low, turns out someone was cheating!"

"Hehehe... do they really take everyone for fools? A remote small town occupying the majority of the rankings, what a joke?"

"Unprecedented situation, simply beyond reason! Thorough investigation! Must be investigated thoroughly!"

"..."

Not only were the people extremely angry, but even some martial artists who didn’t know the truth were also jumping up and cursing in rage.

Some hot-tempered ones, without a second word, headed straight for Celestial Yang City, ready to demand an explanation from the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Association.

After all, the Great Xia Martial Arts Exam was a matter concerning the interests of everyone’s descendants and mustn’t tolerate any filth.

However, the Martial Arts Headquarters reacted swiftly; the matter had been stewing for just a few hours.

The official website released the results and detailed information.

[After verification, the Great Xia rankings are accurate; such a situation arose because all examinees in Celestial Yang City had cultivated the newly appeared Yellow Level Technique "Painful Demon Body," resulting in them vastly surpassing peers in cultivation.]

[Furthermore, the internet is not a lawless zone, and erroneous reporting will be severely punished.]

[Additionally, a new announcement was made.]

[Starting next year, the Martial Exam will be reformed to include a practical test, with particulars to be released shortly.]

The Martial Arts Association Headquarters and various city branches released this information simultaneously.

Within minutes, it spread throughout Great Xia, and countless people became aware of it.

Needless to say, in this world, the Martial Arts Association is still very authoritative.

After the announcement, almost everyone believed it.

Subsequently, it sparked an even greater controversy.

Articles emerged one after another, dominating major trending lists.

"What? Is there really such a miraculous cultivation technique in the world? Too... too... too incredible!"

"Wuwuwu... it’s unfair... why am I only learning about this now? Otherwise, I surely could have gotten into a first-class academy this time."

"Ahhhhh! I’m so pissed off! Those bastards in Celestial Yang City! Secretly practicing such good stuff and not informing everyone."

"Practice, practice, must practice... let the children learn it, as long as they practice more, they’ll definitely win at the starting line."

"..."

On the Celestial Dao Network, sales of "Painful Demon Body" exploded.

One million... two million... five million... twenty million... one hundred million...

Because it’s priced at just 1 Merit Point, anyone who learns of it chooses to buy it.

The Lower Third Grades and ordinary people buy for power, while middle-tier martial artists wish to study it a bit.

In short, all ages bought it, causing a nationwide purchase frenzy.

From this, a glorious tradition cursed by countless generations of martial arts students was born.

In addition to the official announcement, the Martial Arts Association dispatched law enforcement teams.

They decisively raided all those nonsensical media companies, arresting everyone involved from bosses to editors.

Besides that, those riding the wave of popularity in self-media met with the same fate.

Within about an hour, all the jail cells in various cities were filled.

Absolute power also brings absolute control.

Those great powers of martial arts don’t play around; reckless talkers are immediately wiped out in one fell swoop!

Anyway, having more or less of them makes no difference.

Martial artists sacrifice their lives to protect the world, safeguarding serene homes, not accommodating those ingratiating scoundrels.

The result of greed and ignorance is naturally a heavy price to pay.

In a high martial world, it’s foolish to show off, easily leading to a forceful suppressive response.

Moreover, it’s an outcome that is utterly irresistible.

That night, the whole of Great Xia faced the first massive wave of practicing "Painful Demon Body".

Then, cities echoed with countless cries of agony.

"Mama, it hurts, hurts, hurts... owww..."

"Oww... owww... ahhhhhhhhh..."

"Ah... it hurts... hurts... hurts... I’m not practicing it more... damn it, I’m not practicing more!"

"Damn!!! Is this a technique meant for humans to practice?"

"Owww owwww... it’s poison... this technique is poison..."

"..."

Although this technique has no threshold, not everyone can endure and cultivate it.

During this, collective wails from a few cities even intensified infiltration attempts from cultists with Howling Moon Wolf ancestry.

This accidentally exposed their identities, giving the local Martial Arts Association a boon from the heavens.

Those who endured the unforgettable pain of cultivation gnashed their teeth, connecting their consciousness to the Celestial Dao Network.

They specifically went to the technique’s comments to rate it highly, insincerely praising it with all sorts of compliments.

"Oh my! This technique is fantastic! I feel uneasy if I don’t practice it three times a day."

"Absolutely correct! The cultivation speed is tremendous! Far superior to other Yellow Level Techniques!"

"Practice five times a day, an hour each time, it requires barely any time, and I can break through to Second Grade."

"..."

In leaving such messages, those who’ve experienced it once collectively snarled with hatred.

"Scream, scream with all your might! No one escapes this!"

When one person’s societal death becomes everyone’s, everyone ends up the same.

The next day.

The greetings and conversation content across all of Great Xia saw subtle changes.

The first line needs no speaking.

"Have you practiced ’Painful Demon Body’?"

If the other replies they have, there will be a mutual glance and no further conversation.

If the respondent answers no, the questioner would smile and eagerly endorse the benefits.

They’d exaggerate the effects, downplay the pain, urging them to hurry and cultivate.

And so, the second, third, fourth... waves of large-scale practice agony spread rapidly.

It took only about three to four days before almost everyone in Great Xia, except a few, experienced this life-or-death agony.

By then, with their unspoken targets met, people finally stopped concealing and flocked to the Celestial Dao Network’s technique page to vent wildly.

"Bastard! This damned technique, can humans even conceive of this? It nearly killed me!"

"I’ve never felt such pain; now I only wish for the creator to practice it daily as retribution."

"I feel this isn’t a blessing but a world revenge."

Practicing ’pain beyond belief,’ I finally grasped the depth of this phrase after one encounter."

"Damn it, stop tormenting the Human Race with this trash technique! Can’t we have a pain-free version?"

"..."

Of course, not everyone was there to criticize; there were plenty of supporters.

Upon witnessing it, they joined below to argue with the critics.

"Bunch of idiots! Can’t even handle a little pain, yet you practice for nothing! Just go be a good-for-nothing!"

"Hmph! The senior sold this magical Yellow Level Technique at the lowest price, yet you vile people criticize. Leave an address if you dare, let’s meet offline for a battle."

"..."
