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

Chapter 308 I'm not saying you're too weak

The sun rises in the east, its path is bright.

In Principal Lu Mingzhou, Bai Ze seemed to see a microcosm of an era.

The rising sun corresponds to the Eastern Xia of that time, and the radiance that shines upon the world is an epitome of the will of countless people.

This is a silent shock, an invisible emotion, and a profound realization that runs through the entire process.

Even after decades, the old principal's martial arts spirit has never dimmed, and has always remained as passionate as it was back then.

"Did you understand?"

The old headmaster, with his back to the sun, asked.

"I understand." Bai Ze nodded slowly.

The old principal's "Sunrise in the East" did not allow Bai Ze to directly understand his true nature or refine his divine will, but rather pointed Bai Ze in the right direction.

That shock and emotion made Bai Ze understand what it felt like to be touched and what enlightenment meant.

When Bai Ze felt this way, it meant that he had found his goal.

"That's good."

The old principal smiled slightly, and the sun behind him slowly dimmed and gradually disappeared.

He transformed back into his old rascal self, but having witnessed the previous scene, Bai Ze could no longer view the old principal with the same perspective.

Bai Ze estimated that he would never live to be like the old principal, but he was willing to respect such a person.

The old principal had clearly seen through Bai Ze's thoughts, but he didn't care.

People from different eras have different ways of living, and the old principal would not force others to take this path.

It's good that more people can know about the glory of that era and the perseverance of these elderly people.

"Impressive, isn't it?" the old principal boasted like a child.

"Very impressive." Bai Ze nodded vigorously.

Using true qi as a carrier, spiritual will condenses and takes shape, manifesting in reality.

If the old principal hadn't been seriously injured and lost his way back then, he would definitely be more than just a seven-star martial artist now.

"That's certainly impressive, but I have something even more impressive now."

The old headmaster chuckled and raised his fishing rod. "The last time we went fishing together was a few months ago, wasn't it? I've been practicing my fishing skills diligently since then, and now I've mastered them. Come on, let's see who catches more fish."

"Okay." Bai Ze naturally agreed to play along.

This time, Bai Ze didn't cheat by using the "words become law" trick...

No, it should be said that he did not use his words to make his own decisions to cheat.

For the next two hours, Bai Ze, the old principal, and Old Man Xia failed to catch a single fish.

In the end, Bai Ze couldn't stand it anymore and used his words to make the old principal catch a big fish. The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling for a long time and then showed off to Xia Xingde.

The contest naturally ended in victory for the old principal.

After that, Bai Ze bid farewell to the two and walked inside the Third Middle School campus.

'A profound awakening that touches the soul—what is my awakening?'

Bai Ze recalled his past dream of climbing to the highest point and seeing the scenery of all worlds.

I recall the victories I've won time and time again, how I've climbed to the top by stepping over my opponents.

The taste of victory always brings a deep sense of joy, and the process of struggle is also quite unforgettable.

Therefore, even when he was scheming against the Yun family, Bai Ze never felt that his progress was slow.

While his extraordinary abilities certainly played a part, he himself actually thoroughly enjoyed it.

The joy of competing with others is endless. It's not for fame or fortune, but for the feeling of constantly climbing and the pleasure of seeing different scenery.

'From this perspective, it's not entirely impossible to take the path of challenging the world. Even if it doesn't lead to a breakthrough, it can still please me.'

As Bai Ze thought this, he unknowingly arrived at the place where he had climbed over the wall earlier.

Even after two hours, you can still hear various noises coming from the school gate. There are still many reporters and onlookers outside.

Listening to the live broadcast, Bai Ze thought for a moment, then removed the buff that reduced his presence and walked towards the school gate.

At this moment, several beautiful female reporters were still broadcasting live outside the school gate. If there was anything different, it was probably that a different group of people had come.

The reporters wore formulaic expressions and recited lines they had prepared long ago.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"It's Bai Ze!"

A reporter turned around and said excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Bai Ze is back! Now let's interview the pride of Canghai City."

Microphones were handed over from all directions. During the process, several female reporters subtly moved their hands, passing the microphones like swords, each displaying their sharp wit, trying to knock away the rest of the sleazy and pretentious women.

As they moved, their long legs collided quietly.

In this era of martial arts, journalists have also studied martial arts and received special training in hand skills and agility; otherwise, they would be unable to compete with their peers during interviews.

In the end, a pretty female reporter, with the help of the cameraman, got the first chance and was the first to hand the microphone to Bai Ze.

"Chief Bai Ze, is there any special reason for your sudden return to your alma mater in Canghai City?" the female reporter asked quickly and clearly.

"There's no particular reason; it's simply that I no longer need to intervene in the Yingzhou Secret Realm."

Bai Ze smiled like a clear-headed college student and said, "Besides, I was also injured when I fought with Ekaterina and I'm currently recuperating, so I just came back first."

Another microphone was handed over, "Chief Bai Ze didn't mention Rhine Neos, the Son of God of the Western Alliance. Does he think Rhine's strength is inferior to yours and 'Daughter of Ursus' Ekaterina?"

“Well…” Bai Ze gestured in a way that enraged Slut, “Rhine’s strength is indeed a little bit lacking compared to ours.”

"Chief Bai Ze."

The female reporter, who had been there earlier, subtly used her Plum Blossom Shadow Sword to push away the microphone that followed. She then asked, "You, at the five-star level, overpowered two six-star experts. With such strength, you are sure to make another breakthrough in a short time. It is now rumored that you will follow the example of Senior Ye Liuyun, a martial artist from the Heavenly Gate, and overpower your peers to break through. Do you agree with this statement?"

Upon hearing this, the college student with clear and innocent eyes spoke frankly and frankly: "I do have this idea, but after careful consideration, I found that the success rate is not high. Because it is difficult for me to find an opponent who can make me go all out."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.

This is a bit... a bit too arrogant.

But it must be admitted that only such statements can create sensational news.

The reporters' eyes immediately turned red, eager to seize the next opportunity to ask a question.

But just then, a thunderous snort came from the crowd.

"Insanity!"

With a surge of true energy, he pushed through the crowd and stepped forward. A martial artist in his thirties snorted, "Are you implying that our five-star martial artists from Dongxia are too weak to be your opponents?"

This martial artist exuded a powerful aura and was clearly a five-star martial artist.

And behind him were executive officers from the Martial Arts Association.

It seems to be a newly appointed key member of the Canghai City Martial Arts Association branch.

After Zhu Ze'an, the former branch president, was removed by Bai Ze, the Canghai City Martial Arts Association branch also underwent a purge, resulting in many vacant positions.

This five-star martial artist must be newly appointed, and judging from his appearance, he seems rather impolite.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke."

Bai Ze apologized politely, smiling as he looked at the camera and said, "I'm not saying that our five-star warriors in Dongxia are too weak. What I mean is that the Federation's five-star and six-star warriors are too weak to allow me to exert my full strength."
