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

Chapter 323 Building Numbers from Simple Things

That night, Bai Ze, who had already left Yanjing, sat on a branch of a towering tree, bathed in the bright moonlight, and looked at the manifesto denouncing him.

Lee Heng-woong, the chief disciple of the Sluh Hwarangdo, wrote a proclamation against the traitor with impassioned words and sharp phrasing. He detailed the harm that Baek had done to the Sluh people and solemnly declared that Baek must apologize to the Sluh people for the harm he had caused them.

A year ago, in the third round of the Youth Cup, the absence of his opponent allowed Park Sang-yi, a prodigy from the Slug Autonomous Prefecture, to advance.

[It was later discovered that the absent opponent was forced to withdraw from the competition because of a power outage in their city, preventing them from logging into the StarNet. This incident led many uninformed people to believe that we, the Slug people, had sabotaged the competition, causing significant harm to our Slug Autonomous Region. Park Sang-yi, a prodigy, was greatly affected by this, ultimately failing to advance beyond the round of 64 in the Junior Cup.]

[To prove our innocence, we have been investigating this matter relentlessly for the past year and have made a breakthrough, proving the innocence of the Slu people. We also want to remind those who were deceived that, besides Park Sang-yi, there was another person who also won without a fight and was a beneficiary.]

[He is Bai Ze, the man who brutally murdered Li Juncheng, a prodigy from the Slug Autonomous Prefecture, before the establishment of the Yanjing Martial Arts University.]

We will make Bai Ze pay for his actions and vindicate the people of Slu.

Although the Slu people always liked to make things up, after reading it, Bai Ze found that apart from the so-called "paradise genius Park Sang-yi" and "prodigy Lee Joon-sung", there seemed to be some truth to it.

For example, the power outage wasn't actually done by the Silu people, but rather by Zhong Jing, who was instructed by Principal Lu Mingzhou.

This was only told to Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze later; otherwise, he would have thought it was the Slu people who did it.

Of course, the old principal's purpose was not to think that Bai Ze couldn't win and to help him cheat, but to use this incident to hold the Youth Cup offline and to see who the enemies were in Yujing Martial Arts University.

This trial also allowed Mu Yaoguang to see the Yun family's lingering hostility, which can be considered the beginning of the feud between Bai Ze and the Yun family.

Incidentally, it was because of this incident that Zhong Jing was completely dragged onto the pirate ship by the old principal, and it was with the old principal's help that he broke through to the four-star level in just one year.

This was actually just a trivial matter, but I didn't expect that the Slug Autonomous Region would still be investigating it.

'It's also possible that someone is helping them investigate...' Bai Ze wondered to himself.

While Bai Ze's ruthlessness certainly contributed to Li Juncheng's death, it's understandable that Bai Ze killed him, given that Li Juncheng himself was besieged by four six-star martial artists.

Five six-star warriors are fighting one five-star warrior. To expect the five-star warrior to hold back his strength at this point is giving the five-star warrior far too much credit.

Even excluding other factors, focusing solely on this point makes it difficult to claim a moral high ground.

Therefore, some old stories were unearthed.

Furthermore, this incident could indeed affect Bai Ze's reputation, and incidentally, it could also give the Slu people a sense of righteousness in their actions.

Now we can see a lot of posts in agreement on the Wushu Association's forum, which means the Slu people are starting to put their efforts into it.

Despite their poor reputation, the Slugs are quite united.

Choi Yong-san, the "Martial God of Slu," transformed the ancient martial arts system of his homeland, "Hwarangdo," into a martial art, incorporating the history, culture, and spirit of the Slu people into it, thus subtly influencing all Slu people who practice this martial art.

From the perspective of the Slu people, Choi Yongsan is undoubtedly a hero, and Hwarangdo is the only mainstream in the Slu Autonomous Prefecture.

Now that Cui Longshan's disciple Li Hengxiong is denouncing Bai Ze, which also involves the death of Li Juncheng, the Silu people naturally follow suit.

'It seems that while I was eyeing the seven-star martial artists of Hwarangdo, they were also eyeing me; it's a two-way street.'

Bai Ze chuckled to himself.

Even the Slu people couldn't have guessed that Bai Ze had his eye on them.

Who would have thought Bai Ze would be so crazy, daring to challenge a seven-star martial artist when he was only at the five-star level?

It is absolutely possible for a one-star martial artist to defeat a three-star martial artist, but it is almost impossible for a seven-star martial artist to be defeated by someone two levels higher.

This idea is so crazy that people instinctively reject it.

Even if Bai Ze does nothing now, the other side will try every means to make Bai Ze face off against the Seven Stars.

'From this perspective, my goal should be 100% guaranteed to succeed.'

Thinking this, Bai Ze closed the forum and began to look at the information sent by Mu Yaoguang.

While confident, Bai Ze wasn't arrogant.

Even if the strength of a five-star martial artist far exceeds that of a normal one, he will not stop his progress.

He really wanted to improve.

Moreover, after being targeted in various ways, Bai Ze began to consciously improve his physical strength, attempting to combine the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" and the "Great Freedom Body of Other Transformation" into one.

First, let's look at the changes in Luoshui's constitution.

According to the information, Luo Shui's body is rapidly adapting to her internal energy, and she is expected to cultivate a special water-attribute physique and become an awakened individual.

[After combining the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique," the Great Freedom Dharma Body I created possesses greater adaptability. Using this to study the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique," I discovered that the Heavenly Demon Body is even more adaptable, and may even evolve according to different situations. For example, it might automatically evolve gills underwater, automatically evolve heat-resistant organs in volcanoes, and even evolve corresponding resistances based on different primordial energies.]

However, this adaptation is highly unpredictable. If a cultivator cannot control the technique, they will quickly become a monster, losing their human form.

Mu Yaoguang made a special annotation in red on this part of the information to indicate its seriousness.

'This is really weird, and not only is it weird, but we also don't know if there's a back door inside.'

Bai Ze wasn't worried about the difficulty in mastering the technique; rather, he was concerned about whether it contained some hidden secrets.

The power of words to become law means that if a backdoor is discovered, it can be resolved, but if it cannot be discovered, there is nothing that can be done.

Moreover, the backdoor is best suited for killing someone on the first meeting. Even if Bai Ze dealt with it in time after the backdoor was used, it might be too late.

As he thought about it, Bai Ze separated the Dharma form from his own body.

A phantom shadow appeared on the other side, its entire body black and white, and its body and facial features were exactly the same as Bai Ze's.

After this period of transformation, the Dharma Form can not only grow to a gigantic size, but also transform into an avatar-like existence, and can even be mistaken for the real thing, becoming another Bai Ze.

When Bai Ze overlaps himself with his Dharma form, he possesses two sets of meridians, one illusory and one real, which allow him to simultaneously unleash two different techniques and also overlap the same techniques.

Just like with Mo Zhaoguang before, there was an inner palm strike within the palm strike. With one palm strike, he repelled Mo Zhaoguang, a Seven Star who had been hiding his strength, and forced him to suppress his internal energy.

That's because at that time, Bai Ze was essentially two Bai Ze overlapping each other, so everything was doubled.

This is also the result of Bai Ze's research into the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique".

His previous decision was groundbreaking. By making his words become law, he enabled the Dharma Form to successfully operate the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," making the Dharma Form increasingly capable of transformation. Now, it even resembles another Bai Ze.

From this perspective alone, Bai Ze's research was successful, but it was difficult to replicate it on his own body.

This technique is too unorthodox; even Bai Ze dared not test it on himself.

The more Bai Ze thought about it, the more troubled he became.

His comprehension was ultimately inferior to Mu Yaoguang's. Mu Yaoguang was able to create the Great Freedom Dharma Body by watching the Great Freedom Demon Blood, but Bai Ze found the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique" increasingly sinister and difficult to use.

No matter how difficult the technique, Bai Ze can learn it by speaking and then quickly master it, but creating a new one is much more difficult.

There are too many twists and turns inside; it would be better if it were simpler.

"Ok?"

Bai Ze's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Keep it simple... Yes, keep it simple."

The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique is too wicked and contains many hidden secrets, so Bai Ze will not take the whole thing, but only a part of it. "Let's take the part about density and mass changes."

All the myriad changes are temporarily forgotten; only the changes in density and mass are taken into account, and the pile value is pursued at a rapid pace.

Moreover, the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" that Bai Ze is currently cultivating has the effect of deeply developing the body and permeating the will into cells and even particles, which can be combined with this part.

Even with seventy-two transformations and all sorts of mysteries, it may not be as good as a simple numerical change.

If the numbers are high enough, then everything can be defeated.

If the density of the human body could reach the level of a neutron star, thus becoming a neutron star, then a divine enemy would appear, and even from a purely physical attack perspective, it would be difficult to break through its defenses.

Of course, all of this is still open to discussion and is not simply a matter of packing density.

Ants can lift objects that are dozens of times their own weight, but if an ant's weight were increased to the same level as that of an average person, the ant would be crushed first.

As density and mass increase, the body's structure also needs to change.

However, there is one type of substance that has no weight and only requires bulk density.

That is--

"gas."

Bai Ze looked at his own Dharma form.

Bai Ze planned to test all his ideas using the Dharma Form first, since primordial energy has no weight, or rather, it has weight but is very light, almost negligible.

Even if compressed a thousand or ten thousand times, the added weight is still negligible.

Bai Ze even possessed an extremely compressed Yuan Qi crystal, which could be used as a reference.

Without hesitation, Bai Ze took out the Yuan Qi Crystal, held it between his palms, and focused his mind to sense its interior while manipulating the Dharma Form.

"The vital energy condenses."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Dharma appeared and solidified. The originally illusory outline became three-dimensional and real, and it absorbed the surrounding energy to increase the amount of energy inside the Dharma.

Later, as Bai Ze "colored" the Dharma image, another real Bai Ze suddenly appeared.

"Sure enough, words can be law, and I'm the one who's holding things back."

Bai Ze looked at his other self with satisfaction and nodded repeatedly.

Once he opens the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows and releases his spiritual power, he can use the "divine descent" method to descend upon his consciousness and form an incarnation.

By then, he will be able to further understand the mysteries of the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique".

As for now...
"combine."

The Dharma form flashed and merged with Bai Ze's true form, and an invisible pressure quietly arose.

The highly compressed Yin and Yang energies combined with Bai Ze's own energy will generate a powerful momentum even if Bai Ze does nothing.

'If I could obtain the "Golden Elixir Manual," perhaps I could further compress my Dharma Form...'

Thinking this way, Bai Ze silently added the "Golden Elixir Manual" to his must-read list.

Judging by the time, it's not long since the end of the Yingzhou Secret Realm, and I'll soon have my two chapters of "Cantongqi".

While pondering his next move, Bai Ze also studied the changes in the Dharma Form.

Just as Bai Ze was becoming engrossed in his work, a faint chill suddenly jolted him awake.

crisis?

"Sniper!"

Bai Ze suddenly turned his head and looked eastward.

call--

A whistling sound brushed past my ears, and suddenly half of the trunk of the large tree next to me exploded, sending countless splinters flying.

Judging by its destructive power, if it hit a person, even a four-star martial artist who has mastered the art of martial arts could be cut in two.

The premise is that there is no luck to defend against it.

'Sniper rifle!'

Bai Ze stood up, and two bullets simultaneously pierced the air.

[Master, there are at least three snipers at a distance of 2,500 meters.]

Two bullets landed where Bai Ze had been sitting, snapping tree branches and piercing the trunk.

Then, Bai Ze's armor materialized, and he caught a blue arc of electricity in his eyes.

[Master, this is a Gauss sniper rifle.]

The Gauss sniper rifle powered by electromagnetic energy is like a low-end version of an electromagnetic cannon. While it is less powerful, it is far superior in terms of portability and has a range, accuracy, and power that far exceed those of gunpowder sniper rifles.

The first three shots were just a feint; this shot was the real killing blow.

As the blue arc of electricity came into view, the qi armor that had condensed around Bai Ze's body began to ripple.

The specially designed electromagnetic warhead was aimed at Bai Ze's left eye, less than an inch in front of his pupil, and the bullet spun continuously on the air armor.

However, it was never able to get past this defense.

All the kinetic energy was converted into heat energy and dissipated, eventually bringing the warhead to a stop and embedding it in the air armor.

"A distance of 2,500 meters..."

Bai Ze spoke calmly, a beam of light condensing in his hand.

Even a seven-star martial artist cannot allow their true energy to travel 2,500 meters after leaving their body.

The Seven Star Warriors can be described as humanoid missiles, but their range is definitely not as long as that of a missile.

This may be the reason why the other side is conducting long-range sniping.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent.

An invisible force field enveloped the turbulent Yin and Yang energies, condensing them into a long spear in Bai Ze's palm.

Then, the spear pierced the air.

"middle!"

It pierced through the air for 2,500 meters, and its true energy was contained by an invisible force field until it finally hit the target precisely.

boom!
Two thousand five hundred meters away, yin and yang clashed, and air waves rolled.
