Just as netizens were discussing.
Suddenly.
A comment crazily got thumbs up and went viral.
[Everyone here is trash]: "I really wonder, let’s not even talk about why Lin Beichen didn’t stick to his so-called ’immortal cultivation,’ just look at the martial arts he’s practicing. From the comments, they say these are techniques used in ancient times to kill enemies on the battlefield. In other words, he’s aiming for real combat, so why doesn’t he learn boxing and sanda and other combat sports?"
As soon as this comment appeared.
The comments below instantly went 999+!
"Indeed, for actual combat, you have to look at boxing, sanda, and other combat sports. Great Xia Martial Arts are just flashy routines, mainly focusing on body fitness training, just like square dancing."
"Great Xia Martial Arts are just all talk. What’s this about being used in ancient times to kill enemies? Isn’t that bullshit? It looks mighty, but in real combat, they’d get beaten like dogs."
"Those of you who look down on Great Xia Martial Arts, I can only say you’re still too young. True martial arts in actual combat would crush boxing and sanda and other combat sports."
"Really, it’s like an old woman crawling under the covers, it makes me laugh. The boxing and sanda that you guys revere have only developed for how many years? Great Xia Martial Arts have been passed down for millennia; the depth is beyond what you frogs in a well can imagine."
"Nowadays, the combat sports competitions with simulated confrontation, like UFC, MMA, aren’t they all boxing and sanda? I’ve never seen any martial arts in these confrontation competitions. Oh, right, martial arts have competitions, but they’re called performance matches."
"Here’s a real story, there’s an old master who practiced martial arts for decades downstairs from us. He had a quarrel with a young guy a few days ago. The young guy had learned boxing, and before the old master could even make a move, he was knocked into the hospital by the young guy’s punch. Think about that."

For a while, netizens had a heated debate about which was stronger in actual combat between Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts and modern combat sports like sanda.
The hot topic caught such a high level of attention...
It even appeared in the top trending topics on the trending list: #Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts versus Modern Combat Sports Which is Better in Actual Combat#.
And such a hot topic naturally attracted people who wanted to ride the wave.
Xu Dadong, a somewhat famous internet celebrity, primarily posts videos of himself practicing boxing on various platforms.
He quickly posted on Weibo——
[I’m a boxing enthusiast, I’ve practiced boxing for several years. Now I challenge famous Great Xia Martial Artists. I’ll cover all expenses, just let me know who accepts my challenge.]
As soon as this Weibo post was sent out, it quickly went viral.
Many bloggers followed suit and issued challenges to Great Xia Martial Arts.
Such actions naturally caused displeasure among the Great Xia Martial Arts community.
Ma Guobao, a famous martial artist, primarily teaches Primordial Tai Chi combat training. He’s known for his video of defeating a foreign boxing champion without giving the champion room to fight back, which went viral online.
He was very unhappy with Xu Dadong, the instigator.
Posted on Weibo——
[Xu Dadong, I accept your challenge. You can decide the time and place. If you lose, I hope you give Great Xia Martial Arts an explanation.]
Of course, Ma Guobao was not the only one who responded. Many famous martial artists also accepted the challenge.
For a time...
Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts and modern combat sports were set to have a direct face-off, and it was a sensation all over the internet!
The attention was unprecedented!
As for the person who started this whole event——Lin Beichen, he had already left the beach by this time.
And the reason for leaving...
Firstly, because today’s cultivation of traditional martial arts had reached almost enough, Thunderstruck Wood was still at the hotel, and he needed to go back to the hotel to improve his Thunder Skill.
Secondly, as the topic gained more heat, more and more tourists gathered on the beach, with many "swarming here for the hype."
With so many people, you get all sorts of situations, and he was constantly being disturbed.
"Just practicing some martial arts on the beach..."
"How did it cause such a big commotion?"
Lin Beichen was completely speechless.
Indeed, if it were just an ordinary person, perhaps they’d only stay on the tail end of the trending list for a while and quickly be pushed out. However, because Lin Beichen was already a frequent presence on the trending list, naturally bringing his topic characteristic, the heat didn’t decrease but increased, continuing to rise!
"Looks like tomorrow I need to find a beach with fewer tourists to cultivate traditional martial arts."
Moon River had such a vast sea area; Lin Beichen wasn’t worried he wouldn’t find a sparsely populated spot.
Soon, he returned to the hotel, took out the Thunder Tribulation Sword, and started cultivating Thunder Skill, practicing until late at night. Then, he freshened up and rested.
Slept until morning.
He replaced the sandbags in his backpack with 3KG ones; yesterday’s cultivation had accustomed him to the 1KG sandbags.
Carrying the backpack, he left the hotel.
On the way, he passed through a morning market, the aroma of breakfast wafting into his nose.
"Grrr——"
His stomach timely expressed its thoughts.
Lin Beichen rubbed his belly and then, following the scent, arrived at a bun shop.
The steam baskets were stacked high, and white steam was rising.
Filled with a sense of livelihood.
The bun shop lady noticed someone entering and without looking up, asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Auntie, what kind of fillings do you have for the buns?"
"Shredded radish, cabbage, rapeseed and mushroom, pork..."
The bun shop lady listed the bun fillings as if naming dishes. As she spoke, she glanced up and saw Lin Beichen. Her eyes showed a slight confusion and perplexity.
"Then give me two beef ones and two mushroom and rapeseed ones."
