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

Chapter 289 Your defeat adds to my victory's glory.
At the summit of Qingyu Mountain, a cold wind howled.

A figure, riding the cold wind and carrying surging energy, slowly descended onto the vast mountaintop area.

A powerful aura spread out, causing dragons and snakes to churn beneath the distant Heavenly Pool. Pairs of fierce vertical pupils lit up underwater, yet they lingered, unwilling to surface.

The dragons in Yingzhou Secret Realm have always been a tyrant, but when they encountered the three fierce people they had fought in the mountains, they could only suppress their ferocity.

Six-star level beasts used to roam freely when the Yingzhou Secret Realm was open in the past, but this time they encountered an unexpected situation.

The killing of a dragon yesterday has already served as a wake-up call for these ferocious beasts.

Bai Ze also sensed the dragon's probing, but he didn't care. He simply put his hands behind his back and gazed leisurely at the sky.

The nanounits transformed into a long robe, draped over his body. The surging energy of the cold wind and condensed mist accentuated his transcendent aura, making him appear like a celestial being.

The group of five-star and four-star summit members who followed and arrived at the top of the mountain saw this scene from afar and were all involuntarily awestruck by the invisible aura of prestige.

After a short while, Zhong Jing came to his senses, chuckled, and said, "This kid is getting more and more impressive. No wonder he dares to pursue Sister Yao Guang."

"Zhuiyao, the senior student?"

The presidents of Yujingwu Public Society all turned to look over, and Zhao Yao couldn't help but act out her professional ethics as the king of paparazzi.

"Yes, speaking of which, I was the one who discovered your chief."

Zhong Jing looked at the figure in the distance with an undisguised look of nostalgia. Also, in order to get acquainted with the club presidents under Bai Ze, he said, "I recommended him to the principal of my high school, and then that old principal recommended him to Senior Sister Mu Yaoguang. My old principal is quite gossipy, and through some details, he figured out that Bai Ze was interested in Senior Sister Yaoguang."

"You mean, the fact that the Chief wants to pursue Yao Guang-jie..." Zhao Yao unconsciously lowered her voice, "was guessed by someone?"

"Yes."

As soon as Zhong Jing finished speaking, all the club presidents and members who had come up with them shut up and put on serious expressions.

If what you're pursuing is common knowledge, then discussing it is fine. But since that's not the case, then you need to be careful.

Although the chief is a magnanimous person, he is still a young man after all.

The young man's infatuation was exposed, and they dared not imagine how the chief would react.

Furthermore, if the top student has a crush on Yao Guang without her knowledge, and this gets back to Yao Guang, causing the top student's crush to fall through...

Ahem, family members, take a look at the Yun family, who lost two sons.

"Let's watch the battle. This is a crucial battle for the chief." Zhao Yao coughed lightly and said.

"The chief is invincible."

"Before the Chief, there is no rival."

The others also chanted slogans.

When Zhong Jing saw their expressions, he was first puzzled, and then his face tightened.

Even from this distance, with the cold wind howling, could Bai Ze still hear it?

Thinking about it this way, it felt even colder up on the mountain, and I could even see Bai Ze smiling at us.

In reality—

It's not an illusion.

Bai Ze glanced at it from afar and made a note of it for both Zhong Jing and the old principal.

Little Zhong, you should be glad the timing isn't right, otherwise I would have already repaid your kindness.

When Bai should be magnanimous, he is absolutely not petty; when he should be narrow-minded, he is absolutely not pretending to be generous.

Thinking to himself, Bai Ze slowly turned his gaze forward. He saw a blazing red light rise like a shooting star, soaring straight into the sky. The intense heat swept away the cold wind, and then the shooting star fell to the ground with a crash.

The surging heat spreads wildly, mixed with radiation energy, polluting the surrounding air and even the vital energy.

At the same time, a radiant light pierced the sky, and "Daughter of Ursus" arrived with her chorus, landing on a distant mountain peak.

The Ying Kingdom's delegation arrived shortly afterward.

"Oh~"

Bai Ze looked at Rhine, who was three hundred meters away, and asked in surprise, "You're going to make the first move?"

The order of attack is already predetermined from this position alone.

Rhine, who was nearby, made the first move, followed by Catherine, who was further away.

As for the Peking University of Martial Arts, they didn't seem to take them seriously.

However, it's not necessarily a good thing to strike first. Although winning means getting the Qi Crystal directly, the other person can steal it.

Based on Bai Ze's understanding of the two, he assumed that Ekaterina would make the first move.

Ekaterina probably still has some trump cards up her sleeve. She has the best chance of winning, so she is the most confident and might even be planning to take on both of them at once.

"How arrogant!"

In the scorching, distorted air, a suit of gilded armor slowly floated out, its helmet retracting to reveal Rhine's face. "He clearly intended to fight two people in a row, yet he thought I wouldn't dare."

His expression remained calm, seemingly unmoved by Bai Ze's words, but he released even stronger heat energy from his body.

"I really have been underestimated by you Eastern Xia people," Rhein said calmly.

This made Bai Ze raise an eyebrow and ask, "What do you mean?"

"You" and "you all" clearly have different meanings.

Since Rhine had taken the initiative to bring up the topic, he naturally wouldn't keep us in suspense. He sighed and said, "A few hours ago, I received an unexpected letter that said you have the ability to suppress consciousness below the fifth level. Being able to know your information in advance should be a happy thing, but when I think about the meaning behind it, it makes me a little unhappy."

By secretly leaking information and guiding him to use underhanded tactics, isn't that tantamount to admitting that he is not strong enough and has little chance of winning?

"I'm quite pleased that you're willing to use this method to disrupt my emotions, which shows how much you value me," Bai Ze said with a light laugh.

The deliberate leak of information was not simply to send Bai Ze back to investigate and intensify the infighting among the Dongxia people, but also an attempt to shake Bai Ze's resolve.

However, Bai Ze didn't take the bait at all, and he even secretly recorded Rhine's words.

The nanounits silently simulated a recorder behind them, and it had already been turned on.

Clearly, Bai Ze had anticipated Rhine's words.

As for why he had foreseen this...
Of course, it's because the message was sent by Bai Ze.

Bai Ze, who had fought Rhine, was well aware of the instability of the Nuclear Fusion Fist, and he had also personally experienced the extreme nature of the God of Destruction's Will.

He deliberately sent his intelligence to Rhine. If Rhine adopted it, it would mean that he had a weakness; if Rhine did not adopt it, given his personality, he would most likely reveal the intelligence, thus stirring up internal strife in Dongxia.

No matter what Rhine chooses, it will be advantageous to Bai Ze, and no one would expect that this would be information that Bai Ze himself betrayed.

This is called a win-win.

As he spoke, Bai Ze quietly put away the nano-unit-simulated recorder, and gently spread his hands, "Come on, make your move. Give it your all, and then let your defeat add to my glory."
