Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

"I'll teach you a trick, do you want it?"

Wang Sheng cursed inwardly at Zhao Jie's shameless behavior at his advanced age.

Zhao Jie is a ruthless and flexible person. If Wang Sheng hadn't wanted to avoid getting injured and worried that outsiders would reap the benefits, he would have slapped him to death long ago.

"However, if it's truly possible to exchange methods, I would certainly be willing!"

Wang Sheng felt somewhat helpless upon thinking about this.

The Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique, combined with the Blood Dragon Pill, is a cultivation method that only he can use. No one else can possibly succeed; they can't even get past the basics.

"It seems you're unwilling to make the exchange!"

Zhao Jie stood up and said.

"It's not that you're unwilling, it's that you can't learn it!"

"How about this: I'll help you kill a Transformation Realm expert, and you'll teach me the Transformation Realm technique, how about that?"

Wang Sheng said.

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Jie chuckled a few times, quite nonchalantly, found a chair and sat down, then gestured for Wang Sheng to sit as well, without the slightest embarrassment.

"Wang Sheng, although your strength has improved rapidly, you are unaware of the rules of Ershui City!"

"You think you can just kill any expert in the Transformation Realm in this city?"

"Don't even mention killing; even breaking through to the Transformation Realm is a matter of one person at a time. Without permission, no one can advance!"

"The cultivation resources in Ershui City are limited and cannot accommodate too many Transformation Realm experts, that's one reason. The second reason is the treacherous nature of people's hearts. The Transformation Realm experts of each family maintain a balance. If anyone tries to break this balance and become the first to stand out, insisting on having another Transformation Realm expert, then they will have to endure the joint suppression from the other Transformation Realm experts."

"Thirdly, there are restrictions imposed by the imperial court. The court does not allow too many experts of the Transformation Realm within the city. There are people who travel around monitoring the number of experts of the Transformation Realm in various places to prevent it from exceeding the limit."

"Furthermore, the imperial court is most concerned about cultivation level. Without the permission of the experts in the prefecture city, even a Grand Martial Master like myself cannot obtain the method to further break through to the Harmony Realm and achieve Harmony Realm."

"If anyone manages to break through to the He Jin level by chance and is exposed, they will be punished by the imperial court."

"Of course, later on, even Grandmasters of Qi Integration in the city who want to break through to become True Persons will be prevented from doing so because the higher-ups monopolize the methods of True Qi cultivation. Even True Persons are subject to the same rule!"

"In short, don't be fooled by our seemingly carefree life as Grandmasters of Internal Energy; we also have our difficulties."

"The main reason I'm saying all this is that you'd better not reveal your strength to others. Otherwise, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves, and we'll face sanctions from the government and other powerful forces!"

As Zhao Jie spoke, his gaze toward Wang Sheng was filled with deep inquiry and helplessness.

He wanted to train a disciple with the Transformation Realm skill so that the disciple could help him maintain his reputation when he got old, but he was constrained by these concerns and dared not make any rash moves.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng suddenly appeared, disrupting his plans.

Even if he claims to the public that Wang Sheng has nothing to do with him, who would believe him!

"Damn it, this corrupt government is a complete mess; everyone ends up in jail!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng was shocked, as if he could feel the heavy malice and shackles from above. His face turned ashen, as if he had been given a taste of gluttony.

The idea is to imprison every martial artist, preventing them from improving their skills, and confining them to their current location for life so they won't cause trouble, thus putting the imperial court at ease.

The imperial court blocked the roads to important figures in the prefecture.

The prefectural city blocked the paths of skilled warriors from subordinate cities like Ershui City.

The experts in the Transformation Realm of Ershui City followed suit and blocked the path for all the experts in the Dark Realm of the city to break through to higher levels.

The main theme is bullying the weak and fearing the strong; if the superiors don't let me have an easy time, I won't let the subordinates have an easy time either.

They don't learn the good things, but they learn the bad things better than anyone else.

The masters of the Transformation Realm in Ershui City spontaneously maintain a rule: no family can have too many Transformation Realm masters, or they will be besieged.

This has brought the vicious cycle to its fullest extent.

"If the imperial court doesn't fall into chaos, everyone in this prison will have to serve their entire life!"

Wang Sheng sighed.

The more suppressed he was, the angrier Wang Sheng became.

This incredibly difficult path of martial arts is already difficult to cultivate, but the imperial court has set up layers of restrictions on it. It's absolutely disgusting.

He really wanted to punch the shackles that had been put on him and then tear this corrupt court apart.

"Now the opportunity has arrived. A traitor has appeared."

"Prime Minister He wanted to lead troops to support the prefectural city, but there was no one to serve. So the current chaos in Ershui City is because he has put the people in the city in a desperate situation where they can neither advance nor retreat. When he finally recruits soldiers and says he will solve the problem, a large number of people will naturally respond."

"We, the Transformation Realm cultivators, will help him create opportunities on one hand, and eliminate some wealthy and unscrupulous tycoons on the other, seizing some gold and silver. Incidentally, if we wish to seek an opportunity to acquire the Harmony Realm, we can join the army to support the prefectural city. At that time, the important figures in the prefectural city will surely bestow upon us the Harmony Realm techniques."

"Moreover, there are sometimes too many hidden-force practitioners in Ershui City. If we eliminate some of them now, our position as Transformation-force practitioners will be more secure, reducing the probability of hidden-force martial artists relying on luck to break through to Transformation-force."

Zhao Jie's explanation enlightened Wang Sheng, who instantly understood the root cause of the current chaos in Ershui City.

It turns out that He Xiangjun and a group of experts at the Transformation Realm were behind this chaos; they were the masterminds behind it all.

They intimidate the common people, exploit the wealthy, seek to gain their support, and stabilize their position.

Without reaching the level of "Transformation of Strength," one can never understand its secrets.

Who knows, one day they might be treated like a big spender or a fat sheep and slaughtered.

"It seems Brother Zhao truly doesn't want my strength to be revealed to everyone!"

Wang Sheng said.

Zhao Jie explained the rules of Ershui City to him, not wanting Wang Sheng to expose his strength due to his youthful arrogance and thus implicate him.

To outsiders, the master-disciple relationship between the two was unbreakable.

"It's been changed to Brother Zhao again!"

Zhao Jie was speechless. Looking at Wang Sheng's youthful appearance, he felt a little depressed. So young, yet comparable to a master of the Transformation Realm.

However, when Zhao Jie thought about how Wang Sheng would also go to jail in the future, his cultivation would be stuck at the Transformation Realm and Harmony Realm, and he would be unable to move for decades, Zhao Jie's mind cleared up again.

"Young friend Wang Sheng, if you remain hidden, it will be more advantageous for us. The current situation is turbulent and unpredictable. With an additional master of the Transformation Realm in the shadows, there are countless things that can be done. If the Great Jing Dynasty were to fall one day, it might just be the time for us to cooperate, coexisting in the open and in the shadows, and seize the opportunities in this chaotic world together."

Zhao Jie said sincerely.

In order not to be implicated, he coaxed a child, saying that they would seize the opportunity in the chaotic world together.

"It seems this is the only way!"

Wang Sheng nodded.

Concealing one's cultivation level is exactly what he wants.

He just wanted to develop in a low-key manner.

"However, from this day forward, although I will still outwardly respect you as my master and your disciple, I will not obey orders or summons at other times. Just give me a good reason then."

Wang Shengdao.

"Of course. You can make your own arrangements, young friend."

"However, the counterattack by the Emperor's army and the sorcerers is imminent."

"Ershui City is about to enter its most chaotic moment. The Emperor's army must be killed, and even experts at the Transformation Realm may die. If you have no intention of participating, young friend, please prepare yourself, protect your family's safety, and do not go out."

Zhao Jie appeared to be concerned, but in reality, he was afraid that Wang Sheng would cause trouble and ruin his plans.

"Can!"

Wang Sheng nodded.

Subsequently,

After another detailed discussion, Wang Shengcai left the inner courtyard.

A group of students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department had been extremely curious for some time.

"Wang Sheng, have you angered your master?"

Tian Muzhen stepped forward and asked.

"no."

Wang Sheng made the remark casually, then nodded to Luo Zhengwen and the others before quickly leaving. He didn't have much time left; he needed to increase his cultivation as much as possible before the great chaos ensued.

If no one gives him the method to neutralize internal energy, won't he just steal it?

Ultimately, Wang Sheng also realized that the power of neutralizing force was sometimes indeed useful and effective.

"Master, Wang Sheng didn't cultivate properly again today. He was late and left early, and he didn't respect his senior brother at all! He clearly doesn't respect the rules of our martial arts academy!"

Wei Lingqin was certain that Wang Sheng had angered Zhao Jie. Seeing Zhao Jie also come out of the inner courtyard, she quickly went up to him and reported him.

"They should be punished!"

Zhao Jie said.

"Yes, Master, I'll have Wang Sheng come back to receive his punishment right away!"

Wei Lingqin said happily.

"I'm talking about you. You bullied your junior brother and deserve punishment. Li Hu, you should practice with Wei Lingqin properly."

Zhao Jie glanced indifferently at Wei Lingqin and said.

He disdained to hit female disciples.

"Master, Junior Brother Wang Sheng truly has no respect for his elders."

Tamaki Masami just said one sentence.

Peng!

Zhao Jie raised his hand and sent Tian Muzhen flying. "You bullied your junior brother, you should be punished too!"

If these disciples continue to bully Wang Sheng, the martial academy will truly have no disciples left!

Suddenly,

All the disciples were silent, their expressions complex, and they were shocked. Was Wang Sheng Master Cheng's confidant?
