Chapter 170: Super Movie
"No, which eye of yours saw that I'm a weakling!?"
Wu Pifu said angrily.
He naturally knew this was the side effect of his title, but knowing it was one thing, and accepting it was another.
Clearly he was already so strong, yet any random piece of trash could point at his nose and call him a weakling.
Even if one is playing the pig to eat the tiger, there should at least be some logic to it!!
However, in the eyes of those seeing him for the first time, especially these martial arts masters, everything was completely different.
They observed people differently from the common folk; basically, at a single glance, they could determine the other party's approximate strength and physical attributes, whether they were male or female, their age, their cultivation base, and whether they had any ailments. Martial artists of the level of Zhou Qingqing, Tai Anzhi, and the Evil God could even discern a bit of a person's character and nature.
Admittedly, there is the so-called "returning to simplicity"; for instance, if they were to look at Zhou Qingqing's grandmaster, they would likely misjudge him, but they would still have an instinctive perception, similar to thinking, "This old man is definitely a big shot."
Returning to simplicity is not becoming a low-life beggar; rather, it is the internalization of one's temperament and power. There is a decisive difference here.
But the side effect of Wu Pifu's title simply ignored all of this. If it made you look like a weakling, then you truly looked like a weakling—the kind where even if you weren't, you appeared to be!
Once or twice might be fine, but every single time was like this. Wu Pifu had his own temper, okay?
The Evil God stared at Wu Pifu for two more glances. He even looked uncertainly at Tai Anzhi, and Tai Anzhi met his gaze. The two of them then used their peripheral vision to look at the eleven Hua Jin Grandmasters behind them, and only then did the Evil God sneer and say, "Otherwise what?"
Wu Pifu strode directly to the center of the training ground, set up a boxing stance, and said, "Come, come, come. Today I must teach you how to speak. Your stinking mouth must have eaten shit this morning."
The Evil God was furious, his hair standing on end.
Since he became famous, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Even high-ranking officials and dignitaries were respectful to him. The reason he was locked in prison was simply because he felt it was a better place to calm his heart and purify his Wu Gong.
Immediately, he reached out toward Wu Pifu's boxing stance. The moment they made contact, his heart skipped a beat, because the other party not only had Qi Jin, but was also at the same Dan Jin level. Although there were some impurities and the purity wasn't high, this absolutely could not be some weakling.
But before he could think of his next move, a surging, unimaginable giant force rushed over. It wasn't an explosion of Qi Jin, but pure physical strength. Before he could react, his body was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall with a 'Boom—', punching through it, and falling into the courtyard outside.
Everyone present, except for Zhou Qingqing and Yang Shaojun, widened their eyes. It was truly a standard performance of an NPC villain's facial expression on the spot.
Wu Pifu said loudly, "How about it? How does it feel to be sent flying by a weakling!?"
Unexpectedly, the Evil God stood up from a pile of bricks and stones, not angry at all, but instead said with immense pleasant surprise, "Is this the Human Immortal Martial Dao!? It is truly formidable!"
Hearing this, Wu Pifu lost his temper. He hummed, then said in surprise, "Wait a moment, Human Immortal Martial Dao?"
Although Wu Pifu didn't give any warnings about not spreading it—after all, once he passed it to Zhou Qingqing and the other, it was their property—one thing was one thing, but Zhou Qingqing and Yang Shaojun didn't look like such altruistic people, right? Passing it to over a dozen disciples all at once?
Zhou Qingqing immediately said, "Wu Jun, we haven't passed it on yet!"
Then she immediately explained the origins and strength of these people, as well as their agreement. At the same time, Zhou Qingqing said, "It cannot be just Wu Jun and your companions sacrificing for this world. This is also the responsibility of us martial artists!"
"The country and the world, saving the masses, resisting foreign enemies—these are also the ideals we martial artists have had since the moment we were born!"
"Wu Jun, please let us join this grand war together!"
Wu Pifu was dumbfounded.
He had thought about pulling Zhou Qingqing into the team; after all, that was Wang Yihui's initial plan. But suddenly, something seemed wrong. Three Dan Jin powerhouses, twelve Hua Jin Grandmasters, this... were they trying to overthrow a country!?
For a moment, Wu Pifu's consciousness was chaotic. Then, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he stared blankly at Zhou Qingqing, saying, "Besides them, you haven't told anyone else, have you?"
Zhou Qingqing naturally said seriously, "I wouldn't dare!"
"So... it was only two percent?"
Wu Pifu covered his face.
So the idiot was actually himself!
According to the observations and experiments of Wang Yihui and others, what causes the increase in the curtain's damage is not just the population count; the damage caused by people knowing the truth behind the curtain is vastly different.
If thousands or tens of thousands of people in a remote, barbaric place know the truth about the curtain, it won't cause a significant increase in the curtain's damage. But if high-ranking officials, dignitaries, or world-famous celebrities know the truth behind the curtain, one person could probably equal the weight of a hundred thousand or a million ordinary people.
And the people here were all Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, each one a master who had the final say in their own territory. If the scene of this meeting were spread back to the People's Coexistence Nation, the entire Wu Lin would be shaken, and even the government of the People's Coexistence Nation, one of the three major hegemonic countries, would be deeply wary.
In the history of this Dream World, it wasn't as if dynasties hadn't been overthrown because of peerless martial artists or Wu Lin disputes.
So, the curtain's damage dropped by two percent in just two or three days, and the idiot who caused all this was himself?
The clown is actually me. jpg!?
Wu Pifu stood there dumbly for a long time without a word. Zhou Qingqing and Yang Shaojun were both feeling uneasy. After more than ten seconds, Wu Pifu sighed and said, "Fine, it's already come to this. Since you know, you must join. You have no objections, right?"
Tai Anzhi and the Evil God, who had walked back, both looked calmly at Wu Pifu. Among the eleven Hua Jin Grandmasters, someone asked, "Wu Jun, how do we know if what you say is true or false? Is it some kind of trick? Or some illusory minor path? Hallucinogenic agents? You must show us some real evidence, right?"
Another person said, "If there are truly monsters from hidden corners peeking into the human world, then we are naturally duty-bound. Even if not for this Human Immortal Martial Dao, are we just going to sit and wait for death? But the key is the truth."
These Grandmasters all meant the same thing: they wanted to confirm the truth of the matter.
The Evil God didn't care, only cupping his hands and saying, "Teach me the Human Immortal Martial Dao, and I will work for you for thirty years. You say kill whom, I will kill whom."
Tai Anzhi said, "If there truly exist these monsters and grotesqueries, and the legendary demons and ghosts also exist, then why not tell the world? Even if they only appeared within the last twenty years, with countries, governments, and those scientists to study them, and large-scale conventional weapons equipped, this would surely be much stronger than us martial artists attacking alone, right?"
!
That was indeed a reasonable point. However, Wang Yihui had already listed all possible questions. Wu Pifu directly recited from the script at this moment: "Because of the degree of reality!"
"The origins of these demons and ghosts are mysterious. My organization's members believe it is very likely that for some reason, falsehoods have turned into reality. For example, folk songs in a certain area, fairy tales, legends, myths, or horror stories in a certain area, or those fantasy objects we are familiar with. As more people know about them, the stronger they can manifest, and the greater the harm. No, you don't think that our mortal bodies can resist legendary demons and ghosts, do you? Those things in myths that can move mountains and drain seas—are those things we can resist with our physical bodies?"
"It's just that currently, very few people in the world know about them, so they are very weak. I believe you have all watched horror movies or TV shows. The incredible abilities of the ghosts in them—once more people know about them, perhaps they will truly appear. At that time, what does it matter if we are Heavenly Humans who have reached the Indestructible Divine Rank? We'll just die upon contact!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
This logic made sense. The more people know, the more terrifying these grotesqueries become. That's why they couldn't let the majority of mortals know, and couldn't even let the government know, because if the government knew, it would be equivalent to everyone knowing.
The government is also composed of individual mortals; there is no individual life called 'government'.
Tai Anzhi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I understand. Then I will tentatively believe Wu Jun. If it is truly as Fairy Zhou and Wu Jun said, then what if I join Wu Jun's ranks?"
Wu Pifu said, "Then there is no time to lose. Everyone, follow me back to the nearest organization action base. Since you want to join, and you want to see real evidence as soon as possible, then anything said is empty. We will personally enter these hidden corners and fight a battle, and then we will know the truth."
Everyone naturally had no objections. Zhou Qingqing led everyone to the garage, and among the rows of luxury cars, everyone headed toward the base.
At the same time, Wu Pifu naturally told Wang Yihui about this situation. Wang Yihui also smiled bitterly at this, but after confirming there were three Dan Jin and twelve Hua Jin Grandmasters, he immediately said, "We earned it! Two points of damage, in exchange for such a batch of strong people—this is definitely a profit! But this has triggered another problem, and it is a very serious problem."
Wu Pifu immediately asked, "What problem?"
Wang Yihui smiled bitterly and said, "They are all famous figures in this world. Have you thought about it? Taking them on a mission, appearing in some country or place—even if it's just a small intelligence leak, the whole world will be shocked endlessly. With so many experts gathered together, do you think the three major hegemonic countries are blind? So, either we hide their existence, for example, through disguise, or even plastic surgery—though I guess they wouldn't be willing; such people are often arrogant. So, either..."
"Either?" Wu Pifu asked, puzzled.
"Either let them all join the grand movie we are coordinating!" Wang Yihui gritted his teeth and said.
"You are the male lead, Zhou Qingqing is the female lead, two Dan Jin powerhouses—one as a villain, one as a portable old grandfather—and the remaining twelve Hua Jin are all extras and supporting roles. If there are too many people, they can just be background actors!"
"You ask them if they'll do it?"
