The sage was determined to die.

Flames burn everything, and it is reassembled into another spectacle.

Ji Bai was followed by a number of people. He had made the armor on his body very thin, so it looked like he was wearing an unusual outer robe, which looked a bit strange, but made people very envious.

He bent down and picked up a stone that looked like a dagger. The stone lay in his palm, but there was a thin membrane between it and his hand, so it could not fully touch his palm.

"This Wenxin is actually fully covered." He closed his palm, and the sharp stone shattered instantly.

Yan Ming, who was standing next to him, watched with envy. He knew that Ji Bai could not fully use this literary heart, but even if he could not fully control it, this literary heart was already much more powerful and practical than his.

But Ji Bai's face clearly showed he wasn't satisfied.

He smirked and said to Gongsun Yang beside him, "Try attacking me with that branch."

Gongsun Yang was clearly taken aback, not quite understanding. He looked at Ji Bai, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why is that?"

"Oh," Ji Bai explained, "When testing the equipment's strength, just use all your strength."

Gongsun Yang picked up the branch that could cut through iron like mud, and with a standard sword-wielding posture, aimed at Ji Bai. Without hesitation, he thrust it towards Ji Bai's side. Ji Bai naturally did not dodge, but the armor on his side waist instantly became much thicker, and the branch that could cut through iron like mud was bounced away as soon as it made contact.

Gongsun Yang took a few steps back. Although he hadn't used his full strength, he had still used about 70% of his power. His hand was numb from the impact, and his breathing became rapid.

He shook his head frankly and said, "The difference is too great. This branch won't do me any good."

Ji Bai glanced at Yan Ming, who, having received the hint, immediately took the branch from Gongsun Yang's hand and said confidently, "I'll do it. Someone like you, who has no literary talent, should stay out of it."

As Yan Ming spoke, he gave Gongsun Yang a look that said, "We are not from the same world."

A moment later, Yan Ming was so shocked that he sat down on the ground with a thud, his buttocks covered in black mud.

Ji Bai looked down at his chest. Yan Ming had hit him much harder than Gongsun Yang, and the armor's shockwave was much stronger.

"Is it that smart?" he murmured. "That's a bit of a problem."

Seeing that no one tried to help him up, Yan Ming could only stand up alone with his own strength. He said, seemingly casually, "Ji Bai, why did you pull this stunt for no reason?"

"You weren't testing me, were you?" He reached up and covered his backside. "Oh, well, I wasn't serious just now. I was just playing with you."

"No, not at all." Ji Bai shifted his gaze to the distance. "I'm just taking precautions."

"Prepare for a rainy day?"

Ji Bai nodded slightly and sighed, "I'm so dazzling, there must be people who want to assassinate me. I'm giving them a heads-up in advance so they don't waste their efforts."

"Are you crazy? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Yan Ming's eyes widened as he shouted, "If someone had been spying on me, wouldn't my pathetic behavior just now have made me look incredibly useless?"

Ji Bai gave him a strange look: "According to normal understanding, isn't it because we have such a good relationship that you can't bring yourself to hurt me?"

Yan Ming: "..."

He reached up and covered the back of his neck, gave a slightly embarrassed smirk, and said slowly, "Oh, haha, actually that's what I meant..."
