"Holy crap! What happened?"
"Didn't see anything at all!"
"????"
...
At this moment, everyone's minds were blank. Everything that had just happened was far too fast for them to process.
Not just them, but Sun Qiang as well.
His entire body was practically embedded into the wall, becoming a human-shaped ornament. The right side of his face was severely swollen, and his eye socket had caved in. There was a stark contrast between the left and right sides of his face.
He looked utterly miserable!
However, he hadn't fainted from this, only his head felt heavy and his vision was blurred.
This was not how he had imagined it!
Several minutes later, everyone finally snapped out of their shock.
"6666, Teacher Ye, forever the GOAT!"
"That guy was completely overestimating himself. Our Teacher Ye is a Special Grade Martial Artist. How did he dare to challenge him?"
"Right, did you guys notice? That guy said he was an ancient martial artist?"
"That's right, I heard it too! Since Teacher Ye could defeat him so easily, does that mean Teacher Ye is also an ancient martial artist?"
"Teacher Ye, are you one of the ancient martial artists rumored online?"
"Teacher Ye?"
...
Upon realizing this, everyone began to question Ye Ming's identity as an ancient martial artist.
Ye Ming didn't seem surprised by this situation. In fact, this was precisely the situation he had deliberately guided.
What he wanted was an opportunity that felt natural.
"That's right, I am indeed an ancient martial artist!" Ye Ming directly admitted his identity.
He wanted to use this incident to make everyone believe he was an ancient martial artist.
"Wow! It's true!"
"If that's the case, then the ancient martial artists rumored online really exist."
"I never imagined there were people like them among us!"
"Yeah!"
"Right! Since Teacher Ye is an ancient martial artist, can he let us become ancient martial artists too?"
"Holy cow! I feel like my life is about to change!"
"Teacher Ye, how does one become an ancient martial artist?"
"Yeah! Teacher Ye! Tell us!"
"Get lost! You big guy, can you stop being so effeminate?"
"???"
...
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Ming smiled with satisfaction. Everything was proceeding as he wished.
"I know what everyone wants to ask. I will answer all of it on today's live stream," Ye Ming looked at them and said with a smile, "See you in the live stream room!"
With that, he pulled Nangong Qianyu upstairs.
Today's little interlude was an unexpected bonus for Ye Ming. However, in terms of results, it saved him some of his planned arrangements.
"Let's go, let's go! Hurry and get your stools, Teacher Ye is about to teach."
"I have a feeling Teacher Ye will announce something big today."
"Exactly! I have a premonition too!"
...
Amidst the discussions, everyone clicked into Nangong Qianyu's live stream room, awaiting the broadcast.
And Sun Qiang, who had been sent flying by Ye Ming's palm, was still hanging on the wall. But now, no one cared about him.
He was left to ponder in the wind.
...
"Ye Ming, why are you pretending to be an ancient martial artist?" Nangong Qianyu asked him with a confused look. "Isn't your goal to guide people onto the path of immortal cultivation?"
Ye Ming had already told them about this matter before. Therefore, she knew about Ye Ming live-streaming to teach immortal cultivation.
"Silly girl, do you think if I claimed to be an immortal cultivator and stated my goal was to teach them immortal cultivation, how many people would believe me?" Ye Ming looked at the somewhat adorably naive Nangong Qianyu.
"That..." Nangong Qianyu shook her head.
Obviously, no one would believe him. Not only that, but he might even be considered mentally unstable.
"Then, if I use the guise of an ancient martial artist to pass down the path of immortal cultivation, will anyone suspect?" Ye Ming began to explain to her. "Firstly, ancient martial artists do exist, and their existence is logical."
"Moreover, some powerful ancient martial artists possess incredible abilities. Therefore, in future live streams, when I teach some astonishing immortal cultivation methods, people will simply regard me as a high-level ancient martial artist teaching them ancient martial arts knowledge, and it won't arouse suspicion."
"Thus, imparting immortal cultivation knowledge under the identity of an ancient martial artist is a win-win situation."
Nangong Qianyu finally understood Ye Ming's true intentions after listening to him.
Of course, Ye Ming's approach was not without its flaws.
Firstly, although he would reveal his identity as an ancient martial artist in the upcoming live stream, how many people would believe him?
Although the recent incident had many eyewitnesses who had seen Ye Ming's strength, and the video had been uploaded online, increasing his credibility as an ancient martial artist.
But don't forget, all of this was due to Sun Qiang claiming to be an ancient martial artist, which led to the subsequent speculation. As for whether Sun Qiang was truly an ancient martial artist, many people would have reservations.
Besides this, there was another more important reason: most people had never seen an ancient martial artist. What they saw were news from online videos.
So, how many people would genuinely believe in the existence of ancient martial artists?
This was the matter Ye Ming needed to urgently resolve at present.
But fortunately, he had already begun laying the groundwork. Perhaps after tomorrow, everyone would believe:
Ancient martial artists were among them.
"Alright, let's start the live stream!"
After adjusting the equipment, Nangong Qianyu's live stream room finally lit up.

"Sect Master, you've arrived!"
On a very desolate street, dozens of figures stood.
They were uniformly dressed and their expressions were respectful.
At the forefront of these people stood an old man in a black long robe.
This person was Hei Hu.
"Are you certain those people are inside?" Hei Hu looked at the street ahead with a stern expression.
"That's right. During the previous engagement, we bribed an internal member of theirs. According to the intelligence provided by that person, their base is on this street," said a man with a wolf emblem on his uniform, stepping forward.
His name was Wu Yan, the Crimson Wolf of the Black Tiger Sect.
"Well done!" Hei Hu looked at everyone and said coldly, "Guards, seal off this entire street! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Yan led a group of personnel rushing down the street.
"This time, I am determined to eradicate you rats who have been fleeing!"
Hei Hu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
And this would be his only chance.
Because he had received news that someone was about to complete the Twelve Generals assessment. Once that person met the conditions before him, he would never be able to be promoted to one of the Dragon Gate's Twelve Generals.
This time: succeed or perish.
