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

Chapter 202 Observing the Phenomena
"The responsibility for making the field of I Ching studies great again rests on my shoulders."

Bai Ze, a "true disciple," thought with a strong sense of responsibility.

Now that the future rests on his shoulders, shouldn't the Yi Jing (易学) system fully support its "true disciple"?

Ye Weiyang didn't disappoint Bai Ze. She said, "If you want to hide your breakthrough and not attend the opening ceremony, that's fine. I can't say all of the Yi Xue Department members, but at least half of them will support you in winning the Yujing Martial Arts Tournament. But you should also be careful, Yun Shu also has people supporting him."

Yujing Martial Arts University has eight colleges and seven majors. Apart from the Martial Arts College, there are the Department of I Ching Studies, the Department of Medicine, the Department of Alchemy, the Department of Ordnance, the Department of Combat, the Department of Literature, and the Department of Law and Politics.

Yun Shu is from the military academy.

Despite never having used a weapon before, his skill in wielding one is absolutely no less than that of any student.

That skill of gathering energy into a blade is actually the weapon-based martial arts' trump card technique—the Azure Netherworld Severing Technique.

If this skill is mastered, it is said that "where the blade passes, yin and yang are separated, and when the qi condenses, the clear and turbid are immediately distinguished," making it superior to those divine weapons in direct combat.

Yun Shu used this very energy blade technique to dismember Bai Ze's Dharma form, directly targeting the central palace and attacking Bai Ze's true form.

If his energy blades hadn't been so powerful that they weren't yet ready to be used, the outcome of that battle would have been uncertain.

The fact that Yun Shu was able to master the most powerful and secret techniques of the weapon-based combat system demonstrates her high status within the system.

Such unique skills cannot be passed on to someone without a close relationship, no matter how outstanding the student is.

Even if Yun Shu's family background is special, with her grandfather being the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, and she herself being outstanding enough, she still needs to gain the approval of the dean of the Military Striking Academy.

No matter how good your connections are, you can't get the dean's approval and recognition.

Otherwise, why would Yun Shu have joined the Military Strategy Department instead of the Yi Jing Department?

It's just that the top dog in the Yi Jing (Book of Changes) department doesn't like him.

Mu Yaoguang was once the leader of the Department of Yi Studies, leading the Astronomy Club to defeat the Martial Arts Club.

The Yun family betrayed Mu Yaoguang. Although outsiders shouldn't say much, it's still easy for you, Yun Shu, to lose the support of the Yi Xue Department.

If Yun Shu were to join the Department of Yi Studies, he wouldn't be able to obtain even the most secret and powerful techniques, let alone the "Supplement to the Four Seasons Method of Zhou Tian" that Bai Ze had previously acquired.

"Take this book, 'Xuanji Guanxiang,' and study it carefully. Once you have successfully mastered it, you will be able to observe the aura of the stars."

Ye Weiyang tapped her finger, and a document was sent to Bai Ze's school email address.

She further instructed, "Afterwards, you can cultivate the 'Sun and Moon Phenomena Chapter' in the 'Cantongqi' to absorb the energy of the sun and moon, and gradually sense the energy of the other stars starting from the sun and moon. Also, don't underestimate the 'Xuanji Guanxiang'. Although the 'Cantongqi' is powerful, there are other martial arts in this world that are equal to it."

"Those divine enemies are beings who have broken through the heavenly barrier and achieved partial or even complete perfection in terms of mind, body, qi, and spirit. Their qi can be described as immeasurable and inexhaustible."

Bai Ze nodded knowingly.

The most famous aspect of the Cantongqi is that it is the most difficult, but in terms of sheer strength, it is not the most difficult.

At least the techniques possessed by those divine enemies are definitely on par with the "Cantongqi".

As for whether the "Cantongqi" could become an enemy of the gods after it was fully completed, no one knows.

At least until now, no practitioner has ever achieved mastery of the Cantongqi.

Even among the records obtained in the primordial realm, there wasn't a single one that had fully mastered the "Cantongqi".

This technique is all-encompassing, too comprehensive, and too difficult.

Bai Ze estimated that even if those divine enemies were to practice the "Cantongqi", they wouldn't be able to master it completely.

'We must not underestimate the martial arts techniques of this world.'

As Bai Ze pondered this, he expressed his gratitude to Ye Weiyang.

He had never heard of the technique "Xuanji Guanxiang" before, but he guessed that it was very likely related to the secret divine skill of the Yi Jing department.

The fact that he received this part of the cultivation technique meant that Bai Ze had indeed become a "true disciple" of the Yi Jing (易学) department, just as he had expected. "Go back and cultivate diligently during this time, and strive to win the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament," Ye Weiyang said calmly, accepting Bai Ze's gratitude.

At this point, she still didn't have much confidence that Bai Ze could win, after all, the gap between Yun Shu's cultivation level and Bai Ze's was too great.

However, since Bai Ze was able to severely injure Yun Shu at the three-star level, it's not impossible for him to win at the four-star level as well.

Moreover, Bai Ze can also form alliances and find other helpers.

The martial arts competition in Yujing is never about individual combat; it emphasizes a comprehensive approach.

If you can gain the support of all the students in the school, then you will truly be the master of Baiyujing.

Of course, you can also defeat all the students in the school.

Bai Ze was unaware of Ye Weiyang's thoughts. He simply reaffirmed Ye Weiyang's expectations before exiting the Star Network to continue his cultivation.

The newly acquired "Xuanji Guanxiang" needs to be practiced, the realm of the four stars needs to be familiarized, and the ability to make words come true also needs to be mastered more deeply.

While the principle of "words become law" is powerful, Bai Ze still needs to study it further to understand how it changes upon closer examination.

In addition to controlling vital energy, it is also necessary to control other external objects, requiring more detailed measurements.

Just as Bai Ze opened "Xuanji Guanxiang", a phone call suddenly came in.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Bai Ze frowned slightly.

His intuition told him that something bad seemed to have happened.

He answered the phone.

"I am Bai Ze."

"Mr. Bai Ze, this is the Canghai City Martial Arts Association branch. We have an urgent matter to inform you of..."

Before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream was suddenly heard.

"Food! I want food! I'm starving!!!"

The screams were filled with pure desire, making everyone who heard them subconsciously imagine a gaunt, starving ghost.

And Bai Ze was quite familiar with that voice.

That was Luo Tao's voice.

“Mr. Bai Ze, your good friend Luo Tao has had an accident. He suddenly woke up. And for some reason, the Hidden Dragon Pill has stopped working on him.”

"The doctor has given him two Zhelong Pills, but the effect of each one lasts less than three minutes, and it's not even enough to put Luo Tao into a state of suspended animation."

The voice on the other end spoke quickly, explaining the current situation to Bai Ze.

"I see."

Bai Ze's reaction was surprisingly calm, though his eyes held an indescribable coldness.

It's like the winter sky, clear yet frosty.

"Sir, please give the phone to Luo Tao," Bai Ze said.

His voice seemed to possess a strange magic, causing the man on the other end to approach the struggling Luo Tao without a second thought after hearing those words.

Hearing Luo Tao's roar getting closer, Bai Ze said, "Taozi, it's me. Calm down."
