When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 189 A Night Meeting with an Old Friend
Next, Mu Yaoguang spoke of the martial arts essence of many renowned experts.

For example, Ye Liuyun's "ascending intention" also includes Pei Dongliu, the most frequently appearing enemy of Dongxia.

At the age of twenty-seven, Pei Dongliu broke through to the sixth star, using military strategy to understand the Dao of Heaven, and comprehended the divine will that "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs." From then on, he was unstoppable, relying on his iron fists to smash his way to the level of a god.

"Whether it is learning from nature or drawing inspiration from oneself, there is actually no superior or inferior path between the two, and sometimes the boundary can be quite blurred."

Mu Yaoguang said, "Taking inspiration from within and seeking it within yourself may be more in line with your own nature, but learning from nature is absolutely not bad either. The God of War learned from heaven and earth to comprehend that divine meaning. So there is no need to make a deliberate choice; just choose what suits you."

Both Bai Ze and Luo Shui nodded.

Luo Shui put her hands on her hips and said, "The God of War only broke through to the sixth star at the age of twenty-seven. It seems I can try to become the second God of War."

Compared to Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze, becoming a six-star military god at the age of twenty-seven seems somewhat inferior.

Even Yun Shu, that guy, is only twenty-one this year, and he's about to reach six stars.

“Back then, it was nothing compared to now,” Mu Yaoguang chuckled. “At that time, Dongxia had only been practicing martial arts for a little over ten years and was just starting out. The difficulty of martial arts cultivation was much greater than it is now. Don’t be fooled by the fact that the First Divine Enemy appeared out of nowhere just a few years after the worlds intersected. In reality, the First Divine Enemy had been trapped in the Yuan Realm before that. By the time he returned, he had already spent over a hundred years in the Yuan Realm.”

"There's such a saying?" Bai Ze and Luo Shui were both quite surprised.

I never expected that the number one enemy would have such an encounter.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Without cheating, how could one have rushed all the way to godhood in just a few years?

It turns out that the number one enemy is someone who has a time cheat.

As expected, none of these powerful individuals are without cheat codes.

"That was an opportunity that only occurred at the beginning of the century. At that time, the various worlds had not frequently intersected. Once the connection was severed, the two worlds might be in completely different time flows. Later, as the number of times the worlds intersected increased, the time flows gradually became closer. Now, it is impossible to imagine being like the First God's Enemy."

Mu Yaoguang explained.

Okay, the time-manipulation feature has been blocked.

No wonder I've never heard of time-based ...

If this cheat were still around, people would have already started using it in groups.

Even though the risks are great, the other world is not safe at all, especially the primordial world, but what can we do when the first divine enemy has already set a precedent?

Gamblers have always existed, both in ancient and modern times.

Both Bai Ze and Luo Shui sighed with regret, especially Bai Ze.

If he had another hundred years, he would definitely reach the level of a god-rival, and then stage a scene of a god-rival returning to dominate the city. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Although I find this kind of clichéd plot utterly cheesy when reading novels, I would definitely be 100% happy to take on that role myself.

"Alright, I've said enough. I have to visit an old friend tonight, so I won't say any more."

Within the light screen, several large trees appeared. Mu Yaoguang flew down to one of the trees, stood against the wind, and said, "For the next period of time, you should focus on recuperating and cultivating. Yun Shu will not be able to show up for a while and will not be able to disturb you."

The light screen gradually dimmed, and Mu Yaoguang hung up the call.

Seeing this, Luo Shui pressed the button on her smart bracelet to turn off the projection, then stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going back too. Lao Bai, be careful these next few days, don't let the wound get wet, and remember to let me know if the injury gets serious."

"Understood." Bai Ze waved his hand casually.

Luo Shui didn't care about this, placed the medical kit in a conspicuous place, and left Bai Ze's dormitory.

After Luo Shui left, Bai Ze unwrapped his bandages, revealing his wounds and several purplish-red patches on his upper body.

"Flesh and blood reconstructing." He murmured softly. The wound on his shoulder, slashed by the air blade, began to heal as the flesh and blood writhed. His internal organs also felt pain, a feedback from the rapid recovery.

After a short rest, Bai Ze's mental strength had recovered considerably, and there was no residual strange energy in his body. He could fully recover from the mere flesh and blood injuries and internal injuries.

The reason for not immediately activating the "words become law" was actually to prevent Luo Shui from discovering the anomaly.

The reason for not seeking treatment at the medical school was not only to avoid being ambushed, but also to conceal the extent of his injuries.

Even with medication, his injuries would normally take at least two to three months to fully recover.

Directly healing injuries can free up a significant amount of time for cultivation.

Now that Yun Shu is also seriously injured, he won't be able to cause trouble for a while, so Bai Ze can seize this opportunity to start reading.

Yun Shu was also aware of the injuries he had sustained and knew that Bai Ze would need time to recover, but he did not expect that Bai Ze would recover so quickly, even that very night.

This is how the advantage of information asymmetry is established.

'I've benefited quite a bit from this battle with Yun Shu. My physical body, after being severely injured and then recovering, can be considered a small case of breaking down and rebuilding. Now all I need to do is cultivate quietly, and I can proceed all the way to the condensation of my essence.'

Bai Ze introspectively examined his own body, clearly grasping the healing of the wounds and the consumption of qi and blood.

His pores began to absorb the vital energy, which, though not as powerful as before, flowed continuously like a gentle stream.

Vital energy, after being tempered, transforms into refined energy, which is then consumed as the wound heals.

This back-and-forth movement allowed Bai Ze to gain even more precise control over his body.

'Next time we clash, I won't be in such a sorry state,' Bai Ze murmured to himself.

This confrontation came suddenly, catching Bai Ze completely off guard. Although Yun Shu was severely injured in the end, the perilous nature of the encounter still left Bai Ze with lingering fear.

He had only exchanged two or three close-quarters blows with Yun Shu at most; the rest of the time, he relied on the momentum of the situation.

In terms of pure strength, Bai Ze was completely at a disadvantage.

But next time, things might not be the same.

······
······
That night, outside Mingyangfang, a famous villa district in Huating City.

A sword aura flew across the sky, triggering a loud alarm, and finally penetrated into a villa.

"Lin Suyi, get out here."

Mu Yaoguang's voice carried on the wind into the villa, bringing with it a chilling and terrifying aura.

The dark clouds in the night sky were suddenly swept away, cleansed by a powerful energy, but instead of making the night sky appear clear, it highlighted the cold and gloomy atmosphere.

An extremely cold and yin aura swept across the sky. Lin Suying stepped into the cold wave and her gaze fell directly on the figure standing on the treetop below.

"Mu Yaoguang".

Lin Suying showed no kindness towards her husband's junior sister, only coldness: "Still so disrespectful, you're causing trouble."

“Your son broke the rules and crossed the line. I can’t cause trouble for your son, so I can only cause trouble for you.”

Mu Yaoguang remained indifferent, reaching out to grasp the sword, and countless nanounits coalesced in her hand.

Then, draw your sword!
