Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Excitement to the point of being incapable of incoherent speech would surely befall everyone when their movie heroes appear beside them.

As things continued developing, news and videos on the incident skyrocketed madly, with the views numbering in the tens of thousands!

Weibo exploded even more and it became the hottest topic in history.

“Superman Y finally shows himself again a month later. With Superman guarding my Capital, what else do I need to be afraid of?”

[Oh my G.o.d! It’s the same as watching a movie!]

[This is a legend. Is Superman Y an alien?]

[Superman has appeared, Batman, Mutants, where are you?]

[Superman Y, don’t just stay in Capital. You have to come to Nanking when you’re free!]

[Oh, oh, oh! Do you know, I watched this video three times and I cried three times! Never talk to me about Iron Man or Captain America again in the future. I’m a fan of Superman Y alone. I’m his fangirl!]

[I watched the video and cried all night. As a mother myself, seeing those feelings of despair broke me.]

[The family in the video was unfortunate, but at the same time, they were fortunate because they met Superman Y!]

…

The crazed surge of discussions showed no signs of abating. Many people were fascinated with Superman Y. Through the internet, they asked him to accept them as an apprentice and vowed to become the world’s superhero.

With everything still trending, a host named Little Ya released a short video. “I’m lucky to have the chance to interview Superman Y up close. I’m super lucky, Superman Y is super manly!”

Once the video appeared, the network exploded and was nearly destroyed!

[Ah, you ‘re so lucky, Host! I’m jealous of you! ]

[Host, you’re an idiot. You’re were so close. Why didn’t you go up and kiss him?!]

[Superman Y looks young. Why didn’t you tear the towel off his face? ]

[Have you not noticed the last sentence that Superman Y said? He mentioned Actor Y!!!]

…

Finally, Superman Y’s last sentence caused a great majority of fans to simmer with excitement. Each of their faces showed excitement and their heart thumped with emotion as if they had just discovered some shocking treasure.

In an instant, countless people flooded Actor Y’s Weibo.

[Actor Y, show yourself! Do you really know Superman Y?! ]

[You’re so awesome! Superman Y said you have real skills, what does that mean, have you guys battled before?!]

[Oh f*ck! There’s so many Ys. Could it be possible that they know each other in real life?! This is too f*cking lit, f*cking unbelievable!]

[Putting it that way, Actor Y’s Kungfu is definitely gonna be impressive. The previous video of him fighting a wolf with his bare hands must be real!]

[Ahhh, our Chinese Kungfu has been recognized by Superman Y. This is amazing! Actor Y, please accept me as a disciple!]

…

Superman Y had only appeared twice, but deep down, everyone dreamed of being like Superman and other heroes. When the dream appeared in real life, the enthusiasm it ignited would greatly exceed everyone’s expectations.

In such a short time, Superman Y’s popularity had surpa.s.sed all other Ys. He became the foremost figure in the world of Ys.

Ye Lingchen watched Actor Y’s Weibo and kept quiet, letting the netizens speak for themselves.

He wanted to discredit s.h.i.+ Lei through Superman Y’s words!

Soon, many netizens spontaneously got into the groove, scolding s.h.i.+ Lei and Wu Han on Weibo.

[s.h.i.+ Lei, you’re insignificant. Actor Y knows real Kungfu! If you can’t do it, it doesn’t mean others can’t too!]

[How embarra.s.sing of him to say that Actor Y’s Kungfu is fake. How stupid can one be?!]

[s.h.i.+ Lei, if you’ve got what it takes to be recognized by Superman Y, I won’t be cursing at you now!]

[Wu Han, you’re a sissy! Don’t blame Actor Y for looking down on you!]

[A wimp like Wu Han shooting martial arts films? I figure Actor Y can kill Wu Han with just a poke of the finger!]

[I’m definitely watching Huo Yuanjia! There’s real Kungfu in there for sure!]

…

Over the next three days, Superman Y’s mask began to pop up on Taobao. Resembling some of the masks of Marvel superheroes, Superman Y’s mask was a black balaclava, although it had a big red Y embroidered between the eyebrows!

1Sales skyrocketed once the mask appeared on the market! Of course, those were all the things that happened later.

The entire episode elevated the reputation of those other Ys. During Ye Lingchen’s live stream at night, a countless barrage of comments flashed across the bullet screen, asking him if he had any relations.h.i.+p with the rest of the Ys.

Ye Lingchen took a crude and simplistic approach when facing those comments. He covered the bullet screen and chose to ignore it.

After the incident’s subsequent developments, Ye Lingchen’s popularity once again exceeded 100,000. It reached 105,876 and was still growing steadily.

He originally had no intention to upgrade his knowledge and wanted to boost his popularity first. However, it had to be acknowledged that he found all the amus.e.m.e.nt very addictive. His hands would feel restless if he did not perform an upgrade, which would then give him insomnia

As a last resort, he entered the system interface and conducted a lottery.

He a.s.serted that it was inevitable.

Eight Extremities Fist, Martial Body Fist, calligraphy, ma.s.sage, German, Russian…

The yellow wheel blinkered wildly, skipping from one knowledge to the other. It eventually settled on the Eight Extremities Fist under Ye Lingchen’s intense gaze.

Finally, it was another martial art!

Ye Lingchen’s became slightly excited. His body was the capital for revolution, and his self-preservation force was considered to be another layer of protection.

The earlier fire was a good example. If he did not have enough strength, he would have died ten times over. Likewise, if he was stronger at the time, it would be even easier for him to make the rescue!

Only through continuous improvement can one truly embark on the path of Superman!

The feeling of being a superhero… It was truly exhilarating!

The dazzling radiant light flashed through, and the column of Eight Extremities Fist changed slightly and turned into Eight Extremities Brute Training (Basic)!

Instead of being a fist force, it was brute training?

It was different from what Ye Lingchen imagined. Though it was also a fist technique, the direction with which it went in after progressing was not the same.

However, he felt relieved immediately.

The Eight Extremities Fist was indeed very different from the Arhat Fist.

The Arhat Fist was an actual fist technique. It was stronger and more masculine, with the entirety of its essence condensed into a pair of fists. It focused on pure offensive force, but the Eight Extremities Fist had all-round development, including grappling, defending, shoulder-throwing, and so on.

All in all, the Eight Extremities Fist centered more on physical training. In other words, it was a balanced development of the whole body. For example, the smash of the Eight Extremities Fist’s Iron Mountain Smash was executed using one’s back, not one’s fist!

Since it was brute training, then it was likely the art of tempering one’s skins, fortifying one’s bones, and hardening one’s body.

It was equivalent to refining one’s whole body into a fist. If his entire body was a weapon, his defensive strength would be much higher.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Lingchen’s face. The Eight Extremities Brute Training and Arhat Fist Force could be considered complementary to each other. Not bad.

Ye Lingchen contently withdrew himself from the system. He took out his mobile phone and looked at several of his Ys’ Weibo accounts.

Despite not commenting on anything, the comments left behind remained very lively and there were many private messages. One of the private messages caused Ye Lingchen to pause. There was a brief moment of hesitation before he clicked into it.

The person’s avatar was a very beautiful girl and the Weibo username was…Chen Xiaoyan!
