Chapter 182: The Only King of the Heavenly List: The King of Hell
The top of the Forbidden City.
This is a forum for traditional martial arts in China. It has been established for decades.
It is said that this is one of the oldest forums in China, dating back to the 1980s and 1990s when the Internet just emerged.
Once upon a time, as one of the earliest forums established, Top of the Forbidden City also experienced vigorous development for a period of time, with many registered members.
Many folk martial artists, including some people who are interested in martial arts, like to log in here to exchange martial arts.
But later, with the development of the times, the Internet changed with each passing day, and various forums flourished like a hundred flowers.
The top of the Forbidden City gradually began to decline.
Because most young people in the new era are not interested in martial arts.
They are more interested in games, movies, celebrities, technology, etc.
In particular, traditional martial arts have never had a good reputation internationally. Instead, they have been tarnished by some people who cheat money and sex everywhere, which further led to the decline of the Forbidden City.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although there is no new blood joining the Forbidden City, in this era, it is not famous at all.
But those in the martial arts circle still like to log in to this forum.
From A Yue who is next to Master Bao, to Lu Yixing from the Jiangnan War Department, and even some veteran figures, Master Huang, the head of the Lin family, and Master Lu, are all members of this forum.
From time to time, they would go up and have a look.
Because on this forum, some of the latest martial arts information often appears.
Today, a netizen named ‘Yun Ming’ logged into this forum as usual.
He is an avid martial arts enthusiast and likes to study various martial arts and read some martial arts novels.
When he was at his most enthusiastic, he would spend an hour or two in this forum almost every day, bragging and spanking with some netizens.
"Oh, there are really fewer and fewer people on the forum. I can't see a few old acquaintances anymore, and no one is replying to my posts."
Yun Ming flipped through the forum posts and couldn't help but sigh.
He has been registered in this forum for ten years, and has watched all his old acquaintances turn gray, and has never logged in again.
The number of posts and replies are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Maybe it's time for me to say goodbye to this forum."
Yun Ming felt sad in his heart.
He once went to this forum to argue with people about whether martial arts were true or false, engaging in verbal battles with other scholars, and one person faced off with more than a dozen people.
Although he is alone, he is not weak at all.
Therefore, some netizens on the forum gave him a nickname: Keyboard Martial Artist.
There is ridicule, but there is also some respect.
But not long ago, a person named Teacher Ma made a joke on the entire Internet.
Young man, you don’t follow martial ethics!
This sentence has become a hot word on the Internet, occupying the headlines of major news.
Those ‘enemies’ on the forum in the past were like flies that smelled rotten flesh and blood, swarming over him and laughing at him crazily about this matter.
For the first time, he felt like he had nothing to say. He lost completely in the laning battle.
Because of this, he felt a little discouraged, and inevitably, he gradually lost confidence.
Are there really any martial arts masters in the world?
He gradually developed such doubts.
Are all the persistence and arguments in the past really worth it?
"Perhaps, martial arts is really dead. I should cancel my account and return to reality. Goodbye. No matter who laughs at me or supports me, there will be no more 'Yun Ming' on the top of the Forbidden City from now on."
No ‘keyboard martial artist’.”
A wry smile flashed across Yun Ming's face, and he clicked the mouse to log out of his account.
But at this moment, he had a startling glance.
A touch of red comes into view.
I saw the forum posts suddenly scrolling in real time.
A bright red post appears in the first line of the first page!
Bright red posts are a color that will only appear after the forum’s webmaster adds refinement.
As for the mysterious webmaster, he has never seen him before since entering the forum!
Many people said that the webmaster may have forgotten about this forum, or something happened and he has died long ago.
I saw the title of that post was: All the masters in the world are listed here!
Strong curiosity made Yun Ming temporarily stop thinking about logging out of his account.
He clicked into the post.
Inside the post is a list: Earth Ranking (Grandmaster).
On this place list, there are people's names.
Some of these names look like the names of Chinese martial artists, and some are actually foreigners.
Lu Chunsheng stands out among them.
"Lu Chunsheng of Zhongnan Mountain, a successor of Tianshi Tao, practices Thunder Technique, and is a third-level master, ranked 30th in the world."
And the old master of Longhumen.
"Duan Zhengyang of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, who practices Dragon Catching Hand, has a second-level strength and is ranked 10th in the world."
In addition, people like Bu Canghai of Hongmen and some hidden martial arts masters in China are also on this list.
"Is this place list real or fake?"
Yun Ming was a little shocked.
The information above is too detailed to be false.
In the next few days, this list gradually caused a huge stir in the martial arts circle.
Many ancient members were alarmed and entered the Forbidden City again after many years.
The top of the Forbidden City seems to have ushered in a second spring.
Intense discussion begins here.
"I don't know if the ranking in this place list is accurate, but the name of Longmenhu Duan Zhengyang should be true."
"Do you really mean it when you say it?"
"Nonsense, I am a disciple of the Longhu Clan, how can I still know?"
"Tch, you are a disciple of the Longhu Clan, and I am still Duan Zhengyang. Call me grandpa and listen."
"You￥%#@"
The two netizens greeted each other cordially despite being thousands of miles apart.
"Bu Canghai, this is my Hongmen's great master, why is he only ranked 8th?"
"Who is that person named Shen Yizhou? Why is he ranked fifth, ahead of Grandmaster Bu?"
Others are dissatisfied with the rankings.
Those people who don’t know much about the martial arts circle don’t believe in the credibility of this list.
But those who are really involved in the martial arts circle are shocked by it.
They know that the names above are all real names.
"My darling, who is this person? He is so capable that he can actually find all the martial arts masters in China, and even the strongest people in the world are on this list?"
Everyone turned their attention to the person who posted this post.
The ID of the poster has only one word: month.
This ID is also the webmaster of Top of the Forbidden City!
