The wave dedicated to "Zhu Xian" was already unstoppable. By noon, the internet was awash with extensive discussions—
"Chu Kuang's book is freaking awesome!"
"So this is what a Xianxia (fantasy) novel really is!"
"I apologize for my previous ignorance. As a fan of Chu Kuang, I even doubted his ability; he's still incredible even without writing about sports competitions!"
"It's got my blood pumping!"
"I bought the book this morning and was reading it in class when the teacher confiscated it. Now the teacher's more engrossed in it than I was. Can I still get my book back?"
"..."
Readers hadn't had much time to read yet, and most hadn't gotten very far, but it was enough for them to consider "Zhu Xian" a classic!
No way around it.
They'd never read a Xianxia novel.
This stuff was just so addictive.
