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

Chapter 317 Don't confuse the reflection in the lake with a sky full of stars
"Having inherited the complete military tradition, he can already be considered an unparalleled genius."

Opposite the young man sat an old man, who spoke with a smile.

The old man had gray hair, but his face had few obvious wrinkles, giving him the appearance of a youthful face despite his white hair.

If anyone from Yanjing Martial Arts University saw him, they would recognize him. He was none other than Wei Qiwu, the vice president of Yanjing Martial Arts University.

Similar to the situation at Yujing Martial Arts University, the president of Yanjing Martial Arts University is also a Heavenly Gate Martial Artist, and he is also away from the school most of the year.

However, the difference is that the principal of Yujing Martial Arts University is a hands-off manager who lives in the Mountain and Sea Realm for the sake of martial arts, while the principal of Yanjing Martial Arts University is simply a counterpart to Yujing Martial Arts University, so he found a martial artist from the Heavenly Gate to take the position.

The principal of Yujing Martial Arts University still manages things, while the principal of Yanjing Martial Arts University is just a figurehead and doesn't really do anything.

Of course, given the strength of a martial artist from the Heavenly Gate, no one could stop him from taking charge if he wanted to. So, the Beijing Martial Arts University simply found a martial artist from the Heavenly Gate who had no interest in power to serve as the principal.

Vice Principal Wei Qiwu is essentially equivalent to the principal.

"I'm ashamed to say that none of us can inherit the complete martial arts of our teacher; we can only inherit a part of it each," the young man sighed upon hearing this.

The God of War's martial arts path extends from the Way of the Army to the Way of Heaven. Even if Guan Han fully inherits the martial arts of the Way of the Army, he can by no means be considered to have fully inherited the God of War's martial arts path.

Even so, Guan Han was still hailed by Wei Qiwu as a peerless genius.

“Everyone has their own path to walk. I think Guan Han is very suitable for the military path, and he may be able to find a different way.”

Wei Qiwu said with a smile, "Just like now, after 'Return to Nothingness' has become ineffective, in terms of experience in close combat, I think Bai Ze is definitely not as proficient as Guan Han. Guan Han's chances of winning are not low."

The matter in the Yingzhou Secret Realm is still unresolved, but news of Bai Ze's victory over Ekaterina and Rhine has already spread, along with detailed accounts from spectators.

However, even those who were watching could only see that Bai Ze and Ekaterina were very strong in the final battle, but they couldn't see where their strength lay.

Even Rhine was forced to retreat from the mountaintop and watch from afar, let alone the others.

They could only offer their own interpretations based on their understanding, while others who knew about that battle made their own judgments based on their own experiences.

The Yingzhou Secret Realm cannot tolerate seven-star strength, so everyone subconsciously set Ekaterina's strength at the peak of six stars.

Aside from the person involved, no one knows how powerful Ekaterina's Hand of God is, to the point that it can even stabilize space and prevent the Yingzhou Secret Realm from rejecting her.

Similarly, no one knows the specifics of Bai Ze's strength after defeating Catherine.

Although Bai Zesheng and Yekaterina took a shortcut, without sufficient strength, one wouldn't even have the right to take a shortcut.

Clearly, both of them had made a slight misjudgment of Bai Ze.

"If we can preserve the honor of Yanjing Martial Arts University this time, I will personally visit the God of War on behalf of Yanjing Martial Arts University to express my gratitude," Wei Qiwu said with a smile.

The old man is shrewd and cunning; he seizes any opportunity to climb the social ladder.

He wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the God of War.

"The outcome is still uncertain," the young man said with a smile.

That being said, judging from his tone, he believed that Guan Han had a greater chance of winning.

Even if Bai Ze had the ability to accelerate recovery, he couldn't use it at this time. He needed to eliminate all suspicion and avoid being associated with the black-robed man who attacked Yun Shu.

Once Bai Ze demonstrates his abilities, even if he has no connection with the man in black robes, many people will try to establish a connection.

If Bai Ze does not use "Return to Nothingness", he will lose his absolute defense.

How should Bai Ze deal with the Military Way Killing Fist, which is known for its offensive and imposing style?

······
······
"Now, can I let you use your full strength?"

Outside the Yanjing Martial Arts University campus, Guan Han said solemnly.

Clearly, this disciple of the God of War also knew what Bai Ze had said earlier.

—The five stars and six stars of Dongxia are too weak.

He was also a six-star martial artist from Dongxia, so of course he wouldn't accept Bai Ze's underestimation.

As he spoke, the phantom of the three stars of the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf formation behind him became increasingly solid, as if they were about to reveal real stars.

If Guan Han could eliminate the false feeling in these three stars, he would probably be able to enter the seven-star realm.

The "Sha Po Lang" is fierce and powerful, and its spiritual advancement is naturally inseparable from combat and killing.

Bai Ze has now undoubtedly become an excellent opponent to help amplify the divine intent of "Kill, Break, Wolf".

Bai Ze, upon realizing this, was also somewhat flustered. He hadn't expected that he would become an asset to Guan Han's progress, when he was the one who wanted to sweep through Yanjing and accumulate momentum for a breakthrough.

"Let me use my full power... Do you know what my full power is?"

Bai Ze said calmly, "Or do you think I've already used my full strength? Brother Guan, I think you might be mistaken."

"You may be mistaking the starry sky for its reflection in the lake."

Double images appeared in his eyes, as if the two pupils had merged, and his aura became much stronger, bursting forth.

No, it shouldn't be called an outbreak; it should be more like water overflowing when it's full, the energy so strong that it couldn't be concealed and spilled out.

The terrifying aura manifested as tangible pressure, causing Guan Han to feel as if the surrounding colors were beginning to disappear.

This is not Bai Ze using "The World Loses Its Color" again, but simply a manifestation of suppressed perception.

The excessively strong energy affected Guan Han's perception, causing him to have this illusion.

Full power, or rather, all of Bai Ze's strength, this is how Bai Ze's power is manifested.

As for their full strength, they are still somewhat lacking.

The Dharma form may appear to dissipate, but its illusory image merges with Bai Ze's true form.

Since using the Dharma Form to circulate the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique", Bai Ze seems to have gained another body.

Originally, Bai Ze's internal energy had already reached its limit, and his body could no longer bear any more energy. Moreover, the Yin and Yang energies of the "Cantongqi" were extremely pure, making it difficult to further refine and compress them.

If we want to go further, we need to look for solutions in other chapters of the Cantongqi, such as the Jindan Daogui chapter.

However, the appearance of the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique" enabled Bai Ze to maintain his Dharma form at all times and treat it as an external dantian.

It was precisely because of this that Bai Ze was able to overpower Rhine and force back all of his special moves.

Now, it's Guan Han's turn.

“My opponents focused too much on cracking ‘Return to Nothingness’, but ignored its greatest feature.”

Bai Ze said calmly, "The fact that they can be restrained by my 'Return to Nothingness' means that my foundation and skill are above theirs."

In a sense, "Return to Nothingness" is a move specifically designed to bully the weak. Anyone whose basic skills are below Bai Ze's level cannot overcome "Return to Nothingness".

Of course, battles between martial artists are not only about skill, but also about various factors, such as techniques, control of internal energy, and even luck.

However, Bai Ze is capable of using "Return to Nothingness," so how could his abilities in all aspects be weak?

If one can surpass Bai Ze in the control of true qi, for example, by changing true qi faster than Bai Ze, one can also prevent "Return to Nothingness" from reacting in time.

so······

'Am I not as strong as him?'

The thought flashed through Guan Han's mind, but was quickly dismissed.

Does being weaker mean you shouldn't fight? Victory isn't solely determined by strength. Guan Han truly lives up to his reputation as a disciple of a military genius; his willpower is unwavering and decisive, and he even regained his composure in the blink of an eye.

He took a step forward, his steps as swift as an arrow, showing no intention of retreating. Instead, he took the initiative to launch a strong attack on Bai Ze.

Military Way Killing Fist - Arrowhead Style.

The move is inspired by the ancient military formation of arrowheads, with three fingers held together, the finger shadows like arrows, piercing through the air and striking straight down.

The sharp edge aimed directly at Bai Ze's face, and the ferocious aura seemed to transform into a giant, hungry wolf, terrifying and startling.

bang——

Bai Ze waved his hand, simply slapping away the sharp arrow-shaped finger shadow with a palm strike, dispersing the murderous aura. Then, his palm traced a small arc and pushed forward.

Bang!
Guan Han's fist struck Bai Ze's palm squarely, as if it were the natural order of things, an unavoidable occurrence.

A violent burst of energy emanated from his elbow, like gunpowder exploding, propelling his fist with force; with each exhale, it sounded like thunder.

Guan Han has also mastered the aspect of military-style killing fist related to modern weapons to a high degree. At this moment, he uses modern military weapons as his internal force and ancient military formations as his external form, combining internal and external forces to fully display his killing power.

However, such a violent punch could not shake Bai Ze's body.

Guan Han felt that the other party was like a high mountain and a deep abyss, unshakable, and even more like one with the earth, incredibly heavy.

As their fists and palms clashed, the renowned Military Path Killing Fist, known for its power, was defeated head-on, and Guan Han felt an unparalleled force rebound back.

boom!
In a split second, Guan Han unleashed a powerful force from his feet, leaping into the air and narrowly avoiding the recoil. He even used the remaining force to fly backward and escape in mid-air.

He is a six-star hero and a disciple of the God of War. He has long since completed the cultivation of his heroic spirit. Although he has not yet been able to touch the essence of the gravitational influence on space, he is still far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Rather, this level is an idealized concept, an idea conceived by the martial arts masters of Taiyi Academy, and there is no record of it in the Yuan Realm's records.

The realm of Heroic Spirit involves space, something even people from the Primordial Realm wouldn't dare to do.

"I have also mastered the countermeasures and applications of gravity."

As soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of white light and chased after him relentlessly.

The speed that burst forth in an instant exceeded the limits of vision. A flash of white light appeared, and a palm struck out. Guan Han's vision blurred, and the palm force was already upon him.

Ascending to the summit evokes tears of heroes.

Who can summon the hero, with his red kerchief and green sleeves, to wipe away his tears?
Heroic ambitions shattered, red scarves and green sleeves reveal only sorrow.

The palm strike, seemingly soft yet incredibly strong, was all-pervasive. Even though Guan Han's uniform was made of a special material, it was still eroded into his flesh and meridians, instantly shaking his vital energy and true essence.

"To stop war is true martial prowess."

Guan Han decisively switched to defense, using the only pure defensive move in the Military Way Killing Fist to neutralize the attack. His true energy condensed beneath his muscles, like an invisible armor, but he was still helplessly knocked down.

The layer of armor crumbled inch by inch, and the powerful wind and air waves nearly overturned the gate of Yanjing Martial Arts University.

If it weren't for Shen Baishi's intervention, at least half of the school gate would have collapsed.

thump—

Guan Han's feet slammed into the ground, leaving gashes, and he retreated more than ten meters before stopping.

The white light struck again at the very moment it stopped.

"Military Way Killing Fist—"

The overwhelming pressure swept over Guan Han, causing him to shout out loud. The three-star phantom behind him suddenly condensed, and his aura rose wildly.

"Kill the Wolf!"

It is not a killing fist technique passed down by the God of War, but a unique move created by combining his own divine will.

A fierce and murderous aura swept across the land, like a thousand troops arriving at once, with their golden spears and iron horses, their sharpness boundless.

The power of an arrowhead, the sharpness of a crane's wing, the strength of a crescent moon, and the convergence of a long snake are all contained in a single punch.

The fist was thrust out, as if distorting space and forming a field of malevolent energy that drew everything in front of it towards the fist.

The white light clashed with the fist of the ominous star, and the instantaneous collision formed two completely opposite semicircles. The force of the fist and the palm clashed fiercely, and then—

"The feeling of ascending to a high place".

The army was defeated like a mountain!
The weapons of a thousand armies were destroyed inch by inch. The unparalleled power crushed the "Kill the Wolf" fist force. The force was overwhelming, and Guan Han was like a fish on a chopping board, helplessly being pressed and slammed into the ground.

boom--

Amidst a deafening roar, a massive palm print appeared on the ground.

Guan Han was completely embedded in the palm print pit.

He lost.

Even the disciple of the God of War was defeated...

The students of Yanjing Military Academy were devastated, as if they had lost their parents.

Shen Baishi's face was also grim, but a hint of joy quietly surfaced in his heart.

It's widely acknowledged that Deng Linyi's palm strike is difficult to control; one strike might very well kill Guan Han on the spot...

If the disciple of the God of War dies here, Bai Ze will be finished too.

However, once the dust settled and the energy level stabilized, Guan Han's energy could be sensed, and it was even quite stable.

Bai Ze landed beside the palm print crater, looked at Guan Han, and said calmly, "I'll give you three hours. After three hours, I'll give you another chance to challenge me."

"Three hours..."

Guan Han, standing in the large pit of palm prints, looked puzzled.

That palm strike was incredibly powerful, but he managed to retract seven-tenths of its force at the end, which meant that although he was injured, his injuries were not serious.

Bai Ze even said something that seemed rather strange.

"The reverse is hidden in the center. This method of breaking the move is not what you thought, is it? Even the previous Five Elements Transformation into Six Harmonies was not what you thought."

Bai Ze said calmly, "I'll give you time to find that person and have him teach you how to break my moves next."

As he spoke, Bai Ze glanced sideways at the sky.

"You're the one watching me, aren't you? Another disciple of the God of War, and Vice President Wei of Yanjing Martial Arts University."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the light screen, landing directly on the two people in front of it.

The two, who had just been composed, could no longer hide their astonishment and shock.

“Bai Ze…” The young man’s eyes were deep.

After a slight change in expression, Vice Principal Wei Qiwu gritted his teeth and pressed the button beside him.

"Everyone at the director level and above should go online for a meeting."

He needs to convene the faculty team from Yenching University and Wuhan University to brainstorm ideas.
