Chapter 10: Cross-Industry Involution?
No one, absolutely no one, was rooting for Caleb Davis.The general consensus was simple: this kid, barely twenty and almost a complete nobody, had zero chance of nailing this complicated scene in one go. Even if he got lucky and managed to perform well, the whole thing might still be useless. Maverick Wyatt had set such a notoriously awful, destructive precedent just minutes ago that any follow-up performance felt doomed from the start.Caleb knew all this, of course, but honestly? He couldn't have cared less.He was relying on the 'Colt Cooper' memory package the System had dumped into his brain, plus the weird, sharp insights he'd gained during his recent martial arts breakthroughs. Caleb wasn't acting; he had literally internalized the character Colt Cooper. He could call up that perfect performance whenever he felt like it.He walked into the makeup room and changed into Colt Cooper’s official costume.Sitting at the mirror, Caleb watched his face change under the makeup artist's
Chapter 9: On-Set Drama
Traditional Martial Arts. That’s the new term, the one that’s only surfaced recently. As James Jaxon explained, they had to invent it just to draw a clear line between the old ways and the new. Why the separation? Because aside from the ancient power, there's another fighting style taking over China: Modern Martial Arts.This new style is essentially based on the 'Peking Opera martial arts performers..' It’s theatrical, it’s flashy, and right now, it’s all anyone wants to see."So, tell me honestly, is this modern stuff actually strong?" Caleb Davis was genuinely baffled. He had to know.James Jaxon just roared with laughter. "Strong? Are you kidding me, Brother Caleb? Did you even hear me? It's based on opera roles! These people sing on a stage! How lethal do you think a stage actor can be?""Not at all," Caleb admitted, shaking his head."Exactly!" James Jaxon threw his hands up.Caleb pressed him. "But if it’s so weak, how did it manage to completely obliterate Traditional Martial
Chapter 8: The Commencement Ceremony, Traditional Martial Arts
That miserable Attention Value—just over two hundred points. You saw the steep price for the next two skills, right? Caleb Davis did, and he quickly slammed the System panel shut. Out of sight, out of mind. Simple strategy.But that broken, humiliating reality stung him. It absolutely fueled him. He took all that bitter ambition and just poured it into his practice. Head down, all in.He trained for three days straight. No breaks.Caleb’s relentless effort paid off, big time. The Shaolin Boy Skill surged, promoting its proficiency from "Basic Mastery" to "Minor Accomplishment" (16/500).The breakthrough brought another quick glimpse into 'Colt Cooper's' memory, the same as last time. This one was actually pretty boring: just the Eunuch grinding through repetitive, focused routines. Pure technique. Zero drama.The real win, though, was the power boost. Holy cow.His Inner Force was the primary beneficiary. It used to be this barely-there thread. Now? It had solidified into a dense sphe
Chapter 7: The Seventeen-Day Time Limit, Martial Arts Practice is Imminent
The night was drawing deep. The moon hung up there, a big, bright, totally indifferent coin.Here in the grand capital of Great Vespera—this insane northern mega city—night just didn't seem to exist. No matter the hour, neon lights bled across every boulevard, and every tower blazed like a torch. You had young students all linked up, shoulder to shoulder, still loud and celebrating some fleeting youth or friendship. Tourists held up their phones, still trying to map out impossible itineraries. And the luxury cars? The kind you only saw in movies back in a small town? They just swarmed this giant hub like angry, expensive insects.Vibrant. Rich. Endless. That was the promise of this city.But for Caleb Davis, a cynical transplant and office drone who literally rented his life month-by-month, none of it mattered.He dragged his totally exhausted body into his dingy room, still clutching a plastic bag with his takeout cold cuts. He glanced at his phone: 1:00 AM.Think about that for a se
Chapter 6: Not Closed is Open?
“Man, you really can’t beat the cheat code!”Once Caleb Davis figured out his bizarre new reality—that the Film and Television Martial Emperor System was just going to casually patch the whole "die instantly" flaw of the Shaolin Boy Skill, letting him cultivate endlessly without risk—he sighed. A deep, lung-clearing, genuinely relieved sigh. All that crazy paranoia? Gone. Done.He instantly threw all those doubts aside and dropped into the deepest focus, plunging himself into a relentless, grueling practice session.He might have lacked a famous master or even a single day’s actual martial arts foundation, but honestly? Who cared? Armed with the vivid, complete memory of 'Colt Cooper'—the life of the actual historical eunuch he was playing—Caleb perfected every single stance and movement. He wasn't guessing; he was recalling.His progress surged like a freaking torrent.Only about four hours had passed when a sharp, unmistakable digital chime sliced right through his concentration.【P
Chapter 5: The Eunuch's Privilege
Caleb Davis caught a weird blind spot in the System's logic, but honestly? He just brushed it off.I mean, come on, the Film and Television Martial Emperor System is literally a role-playing tool. Its whole point is letting him get transcendent power—real martial arts mastery—by playing the part of an eunuch. Acting is just the weird side door into the supernatural stuff.If you forced him to nitpick the whole crazy setup..."Seriously, there's no downside here?" he muttered, a smug little twitch pulling at his lips.Sure, being typecast as an eunuch meant people would assume he had some "affliction" or a major, unspeakable secret. But this is the guy who, back in high school, claimed to be gay just to stop girls from bothering him. A little gossip wasn't going to stop him.In fact, he kind of loved it. The fewer people who knew about his actual nature and abilities, the easier it was to secretly "drive"—his personal code for having a good time—without anyone looking too closely."Wai
