[Cat coming and dog going]: "Amazing, folks, I saw some incredible martial arts at Moon River, and it was performed by a bright, cheerful young guy!"
[Cheese and Soil]: "Does any martial arts expert know what this style is? Please explain, it looks really cool, I want to learn it!"
[Candy-coated Armor-piercing Bullet]: "This guy is absolutely the best, just now he was doing plank exercises in the sea, and now he’s practicing martial arts on the beach!"
"..."
The video was accompanied by text.
A large number of similar personal Weibo posts suddenly flooded the Weibo platform.
One person shares with ten, ten share with a hundred...
More and more netizens came to know what happened at Moon River.
Very soon, it only took a dozen minutes for tourists at the scene to massively post Weibo updates from Moon River.
#TeenagerPracticingMartialArtsAtMoonRiverDrawsCrowd# became a trending topic on the hot search list.
Although it was at the bottom of the hot search list, the topic’s heat kept climbing, showing no signs of dropping off. Instead, it seemed to be pushing its way higher!
And with the momentum gained from the trending topic, a large number of netizens became aware of this incident.
"The way he performs his martial arts is truly masterful. Look at this young boy, so young yet possessing such profound skills, amazing, amazing."
"Hey? What style of martial arts is this? It’s really puzzling me, and I’ve been in the martial arts circle, yet I’ve never seen this!"
"This martial style is fierce and domineering, resembling Hong Quan in style, but the moves and forms seem far different from Hong Quan."
"This appears to be two types of martial arts, one being a mighty fist style, and the other resembling the shoulder and arm techniques of the Eighteen Throws. But I have to say, having watched so many martial arts videos, I’ve never seen these two types before."
"These two styles don’t seem to have superfluous movements; all the techniques are lethal, with each strike aimed at vital spots."
"..."
In the comments section, netizens discussed the Traditional Martial Arts showcased by Lin Beichen, with some knowledgeable in martial arts speaking in detail about the two types he displayed.
But...
No one could pinpoint.
What exactly were the Traditional Martial Arts practiced by Lin Beichen.
Soon, a comment that received a great number of likes revealed the answer to everyone.
[Hooray for more]: "This young man is practicing Luwo Fist, created by General Qi Jiguang during the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Wokou..."
This comment explained Luwo Fist.
And judging from the ID of the commenter, it wasn’t hard to see that the publisher was a successor of Luwo Fist, the boss of Hooray for more ramen shop!
After handing over Luwo Fist to the state, expecting some action from the government, the ramen shop boss started habitually following the online trends every day.
Just now, seeing the trending topic #TeenagerPracticingMartialArtsAtMoonRiverDrawsCrowd#, he clicked into it involuntarily and immediately saw the video recorded by tourists where Lin Beichen practiced martial arts.
At this moment, inside the Hooray for more ramen shop.
The ramen shop boss stared at his phone, the screen continuously playing the video of Lin Beichen practicing martial arts, his expression couldn’t be more shocked.
"So young..."
"Yet mastering Luwo Fist to such an extraordinary level?!"
"Who taught him Luwo Fist?"
"Could it be..."
"That there are others who also know Luwo Fist?"
Having practiced Luwo Fist diligently for decades, he believed he couldn’t even come close to Lin Beichen’s skill.
And considering that Lin Beichen could already master Luwo Fist to this degree at such a young age...
He assumed there must be a Luwo Fist master guiding Lin Beichen from a young age!
However, if he knew Lin Beichen learned this Luwo Fist merely by studying the scroll he handed over to the state three days ago.
And...
He only practiced for a day, or to be more precise, he practiced just a few times and reached this level.
He would wonder what he would think.
Not only the ramen shop boss noticed the trending topic; members of the Chen Family, renowned for Baji Collapse and as a thriving martial arts family, also saw the trending topic and elaborated similarly online.
"Luwo Fist? Baji Collapse? Great Xia still has such martial arts?"
"Strange, how come I’ve never heard of them?"
"So this is Luwo Fist and Baji Collapse? I thought they were long lost!"
"Luwo Fist and Baji Collapse were famous killer techniques a hundred years ago!"
"Who is this young man, how does he know these two martial arts styles, and judging by his performance, his skills are quite extraordinary?"
"Such a young person, possessing two martial arts considered lost by the world, and with notable proficiency, who exactly is he?"
"..."
As netizens learned what the two Traditional Martial Arts presented by Lin Beichen were, they were not only surprised that these rarely-seen arts were still being passed down, but also increasingly curious about Lin Beichen’s identity.
With more netizens joining the discussion, the topic #TeenagerPracticingMartialArtsAtMoonRiverDrawsCrowd# continuously climbed in popularity, persistently hitting higher ranks on the trending list.
This allowed more netizens who hadn’t noticed the event before to click into the topic and learn about it.
As the saying goes, strength in numbers.
Soon enough, many netizens identified Lin Beichen.
"Hey? Isn’t this Lin Beichen from Imperial Capital University?"
"Isn’t he the one? Oh yes, the top scorer with the highest historical score from the college entrance exams who went viral recently!"
"Interesting, I remember Lin Beichen saying he wanted to practice immortality, what’s going on... No longer practicing immortality, started training martial arts?"
"I told you, Lin Beichen was just hyping himself, trying to gain exposure and market himself, aiming for fame."
