Of the 42 people, 20 had been rescued by Ye Lingchen as he went back and forth ten times. The remaining 21 were rescued ashore by the other swimmers.

None of the bus passengers' lives were in danger, and it was rightly considered a blessing.

"Superman Y, I'm your diehard fan. Please kiss me, hug me, and lift me high up..."

"Ah, my prince, please awaken your princess with a kiss, come on!"

"Superman Y, please let me have an hour with you. I'll give you a little Superman..."

...

There was no doubt that Ye Lingchen became the focal point of the audience's attention. Everyone, regardless of gender, rushed toward him frantically with a wolf-like luminance in their eyes.

Facing the mad crowd, Ye Lingchen did not dare to delay any longer. He raised his legs and did not leave through the shore. He walked on the lake and fled away quickly, leaving behind the sight of water splashing behind him.

Everyone could only sigh bitterly and watch as his rear-figure disappeared quickly.

...

Ye Lingchen let out a sigh of relief after getting rid of those people. He then walked toward iPartment at a relaxed pace.

He had plenty of free time anyway, and it was very comfortable to enjoy the roadside scenery while walking.

An hour later, Ye Lingchen looked at the building in front of him and his eyes lit up.

The scene that Xiao Feifei chose was really good. It was perfect for shooting iPartment.

The studio was on the 16th floor. When he entered, a plethora of cameras and recording equipment were all set up.

Outside, Ye Lingchen heard all kinds of exclamations coming from the room. He saw Hu Yifei and the others huddling around a computer with shocked expressions, and Xiao Feifei was no exception.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Lingchen's voice surprised him slightly and they then surrounded him in excitement.

"Young Master Ye, come and look at this. It'll definitely scare the daylights out of you!"

Chen Meijia's face turned red and she showed the video to Ye Lingchen. She seemed to be incredibly lovestruck. "I bet there's a handsome face like no other hidden under that mask!"

Ye Lingchen could not help but smile when he looked at the video's contents—it was playing the entire sequence of Ye Lingchen's walk-on-water rescue. He had already predicted that earlier, as his popularity had been growing rapidly during that period.

On the surface, however, he utilized his 100% proficiency in acting and pretended to be extremely shocked. "Whoa, such incredible people exist? Is this even real?"

"it's real! It's entirely genuine!"

With a look of admiration on Wanyu's face, she said with much anticipation, "I never imagined there would really be a superman in this world. I feel like I'll see Ultraman soon."

"Why? Are you preparing to watch the live version of Ultraman fighting little monsters?" Lu Xiaobu could not resist making that remark before saying solemnly "Based on my years of experience, Superman Y is likely the legendary Iron Palm Water Skimmer1!"

They chatted away happily with each other.

During that short period, any news involving Superman Y shot up directly to Weibo's trending searches, while videos were uploaded frantically in TikTok. The entire Internet basically exploded.

Without a doubt, such momentous and genuine news could not possibly be a sham. In other words, Superman Y did walk on the water with his actual abilities!

If Superman Y's act of saving the children from the burning building was considered reasonable as it was only pushing a human body's limits, his most recent act violated common sense completely. Science was unable to explain it at all, and it had a deep impact on people's worldview.

[F*ck! I can't hold down the lid on Newton's coffin! Request support!]

[I'm calling for an explanation from popular science! What's the principle here? This newbie doesn't understand.]

[The Degenerate Age1 is ending. Martial arts secrets and abilities are awakened! I beg the Almighty to give me a golden finger!]

[Superman Y is definitely the protagonist! Please accept me as your disciple, I can do everything, please protect me.]

[I've read books my entire life and now you're motherf*cking telling me that Superman is real?]

...

Xiao Feifei seemed much calmer. She walked to Ye Lingchen's side, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Lingchen, I didn't expect you to play basketball so well. You're so handsome on the court!"

"I'm just average. I'm more than capable of torturing those Stick Nation guys." Ye Lingchen smiled and said.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, you're so handsome! I'm your diehard fan, for real!" Chen Chichi immediately looked at Ye Lingchen with an impassioned gaze. She then revealed her arms without warning. "Please sign your autograph! Write it on my arm, neck, *ss, or anywhere is fine!"

"Ah, ah, ah! I almost forgot that Young Master Ye is now a basketball superstar!" Chen Meijia screamed and jumped up. "You're our national treasure!"

Since Superman Y's story was too shocking and attracted most of their attention, they only remembered the recent basketball game after Xiao Feifei reminded them of it.

The figure of Ye Lingchen galloping across the stadium surfaced in their minds too.

"Young Master Ye, I'm your fan and it's an honor to meet you." A tall girl with long and thick wavy hair walked over and smiled at Ye Lingchen with her slender outstretched hand.

"She is a classmate of our Capital City Arts Institute. Since there are so many guest roles in iPartment, we brought her here too." Hu Yifei introduced.

"Young Master Ye. Me too! I am Hu Yifei's roommate. I'm very fortunate to be able to participate in the filming of iPartment." Another girl with a smoking-hot figure and a red dress came over.

Capital City Arts Institute's high quality had to be acknowledged. They were all beautiful women who each had their own merits.

"Alright, everyone, quickly check your scripts and get ready to film iPartment," Xiao Feifei remarked plainly as she seamlessly separated the girls surrounding Ye Lingchen.

Xiao Feifei could see through the passion in those women's eyes at a glance. They were probably eager to let themselves get taken advantage of.

With Xiao Feifei's as a barrier, the group of women could only withdraw their lustful hands, which had already been prepared to take advantage of Ye Lingchen. They backed away resentfully.

"What's that smell?" At that moment, Ye Lingchen frowned slightly and could not help but look in the direction of the kitchen.

"Ah! My lunch!"

Wanyu screamed and immediately rushed into the kitchen, followed by Hu Yifei and Chen Meijia.

By then, black smoke was emanating from the pan in the kitchen along with the burning smell.

"Damn it, damn it, it's burnt. This can't be eaten anymore," Chen Meijia remarked bitterly.

"It's all because we were so mesmerized when watching Superman Y's video. We forgot the food in the pot." Wanyu was very upset.

"Forget it, let's cook it again." Xiao Feifei took out a few bags of instant noodles.

Ye Lingchen looked at the burnt instant noodles in the pot, then at the instant noodles in Xiao Feifei's hands. He could not help but frown. "You're only going to eat this?"

It was no wonder that Xiao Feifei's face looked emaciated. She had always been hard at work but always ate unhealthily. How could she even bear with it?

"This is all just for the time being. I had to rush the filming recently, so I just ate whatever for lunch as long as I had lunch," Xiao Feifei said.

"This won't do." Ye Lingchen shook his head, then smiled. "You guys go and start filming. I'll prepare lunch for you..."

These Three Ages are divisions of time following Buddha's passing, and the Degenerate Age could also be known as the Dharma-Ending Age or the Latter Day of the Law, where the Dharma becomes increasingly diluted and corrupted with non-Dharma elements, leading to rare attaining of Enlightenment, while moral chaos proliferates.
