I'm a magnetic field madman

2. Ice Profound Force

Yuwen Huaji sat in the main hall of the governor's mansion, drinking hot tea, accompanied by Yuchi Sheng, the governor of Yangzhou.

The two were not only acquaintances, but their relationship was also extraordinary.

Before Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he was a minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yuwen Yun, Yang Jian colluded with Zheng Yi, the Grand Master of the Palace Secretariat, and Liu Fang, the Grand Master of the Imperial Censorate, to forge an imperial edict to bring Yang Jian into the court and seize power, citing the young age of the succeeding Emperor Yuwen Shan. A year later, Yang Jian forced Emperor Jing to abdicate and declared himself emperor.

The Yuwen family's rule in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Yang family. The Yuwen family's power remained deeply entrenched, and although Yang Jian became emperor, he was unable to completely eradicate the Yuwen clan. When his son Yang Guang became emperor, the Yuwen family rose to power once again.

Strictly speaking, although the Yuwen family members appeared to be loyal to the Sui Dynasty, they actually only buried their hatred deep in their hearts.

The leaders of the Eight Pillars of State were never loyal to the Sui Dynasty. They considered themselves the legitimate rulers and were always ready to seize the throne.

After Yang Jian seized power, three ministers who supported the Yuwen family of Northern Zhou rebelled.

Yuchi Zhou, the governor of Xiangzhou, Sima Xiaonan, the governor of Zhengzhou, and Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou... These people were either related to the Yuwen family or loyal to the Northern Zhou royal family.

Yuchi Zhou was Yuchi Sheng's cousin, which shows that the two had a close relationship. Therefore, they spoke privately without any reservations.

Yuwen Huaji sighed.

"This book is of utmost importance. I have prepared a skilled person who, once he obtains the precious book, will immediately pretend to have successfully deciphered it and give it to that tyrant to cultivate. I guarantee that within three months, he will be killed by the cultivation. Who would have thought that obtaining something so easily within my grasp would be so full of twists and turns? Even if I wanted to forge another copy, it wouldn't work."

Yu Chisheng snorted coldly, "Even without the precious book, I'm afraid the Yang family will still have a hard time keeping their throne. Heaven blesses the Great Zhou. Since this foolish emperor ascended the throne, he has been levying exorbitant taxes and engaging in massive construction projects."

Our foreign policy of aggressive military expansion, including our campaigns against Goguryeo, resulted in three defeats. Now, with rebellions raging across the land, if we seize the opportunity, we can surely recapture the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two were naturally discussing the Longevity Manual, one of the four great books said to grant immortality. This extraordinary book, written by the Taoist patriarch Guang Chengzi and considered one of the most precious treasures of the martial arts world, had been lost in Yangzhou City.

Just a day before, it belonged to Shi Long, the master of the largest Taoist temple in Yangzhou. But as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," how could a mere Shi Long be qualified to possess such a priceless treasure? And so, he was naturally defeated and forced to flee by Yuwen Huaji. The Longevity Manual was then taken away by his close friend, Tian Wen.

But no matter how much he planned, things would suddenly take a turn for the better. On his way to take the Longevity Manual, Tian Wen's treasure was stolen...

Despite the twists and turns, Yuwen Huaji, who had sealed off Yangzhou, still managed to obtain the Longevity Formula with ease!

Just as Yuwen Huaji and Yuchi Sheng were talking, Zhang Shihe came in to report...

"We've got a lead. According to Tian Wen's confession, before he was arrested, he was bumped by two 15 or 16-year-old hooligans. It seems that these two kids stole the precious book."

Yuwen Huaji said happily, "Shihe must have found out what kind of people these two scoundrels are before he came to report the good news."

Zhang Shihe laughed and said, "That's right. These two are called Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. They are the most famous pickpockets in Yangzhou. Their boss is called Yan Kuan. He has been taken away to find those two little guys."

Yu Chisheng laughed loudly: "That makes things easy. Unless they can grow wings, as long as they are still in the city, they will not be able to escape our grasp."

"But there's one thing that's a bit strange," Zhang Shihe said, frowning.

"It is said that at noon today, a martial arts master with white hair and a fierce appearance murdered Feng Laosan, the owner of the steamed bun shop, and then took away his concubine Wei Zhenzhen... It is said that Wei Zhenzhen seems to have a close relationship with those two little things."

"He's just a nobody from the martial world," Yu Chi Sheng said nonchalantly.

"If he dares to keep those two little ones hidden away, getting rid of him will be a piece of cake."

Although Yuchi Sheng's words were quite arrogant, no one here felt that there was anything wrong with them.

In the martial arts world, all the powerful martial artists are descendants of great sects.

The six paths of the demonic sect, the Pure Thought Zen Temple and Cihang Jingzhai of the Buddhist sect, and the lineage of the Taoist sect.

Aside from renowned figures like Chao Gongcuo of the South China Sea, there are few martial arts heroes who need to pay attention to them.

Moreover, the Yuwen Clan is one of the most prestigious and powerful clans in the world!

Once the head of the Eight Pillars of State, they are now the most powerful clan in the world as the Sui Dynasty crumbles!

Yuwen Huaji smiled without saying a word, but soon his expression froze.

"wrong!"

Yuwen Huaji suddenly stood up, simply because the surroundings were too quiet; even the cicadas could not be heard in the sweltering summer heat.

When he exerts all his strength, no movement within a radius of thirty feet can be hidden from him.

But it was eerily quiet here, as quiet as a graveyard!

"I originally intended to have a talk with you, but I never expected that you would attack me first."

"That's fine too, even if we kill you all, it won't be a problem now."

A calm voice rang out from outside the gates of the steward's mansion, and the heavy vermilion gates were suddenly blasted open by an invisible force. From the open gates, under the moonlight, a figure slowly walked out.

Her long silver hair and heterochromatic blue-silver eyes seemed to shine even in the night.

His handsome face was striking, but what stood out even more was the cloak that spread out behind him like wings!

The person's attire—a sleeveless, tight-fitting top and equally unadorned, slim-fitting black trousers—was completely out of step with the times!

Even just standing there, the aura he exuded made Yuwen Huaji feel uncomfortable all over!

"I have never heard of your esteemed name?"

Yuwen Huaji spoke politely and in a deep voice, but his hands were secretly channeling energy under his sleeves, and the air between his hands seemed to freeze into ice.

"Boss, this is the governor's residence."

"Boss, take your time, don't rush."

Just then, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sneaked out from behind Bai Wujie...

The way they hid behind his cloak made them look like two bullying brats.

They weren't fools. When they discovered that Boss Yan had been coerced into coming to them, they realized that they had stolen something they shouldn't have, which had brought them to their deaths.

But Bai Wujie undoubtedly protected them. Those soldiers dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guard who wanted to capture them were smashed into mincemeat by this strangely dressed but extremely terrifying person!

Even the most naive person would know who their biggest backer is now. If the Yangzhou Twin Dragons don't want to die such a miserable death, they have no choice but to obediently serve as Bai Wujie's vanguard.

"This is what you've been looking for, isn't it?" Bai Wujie casually took out the book woven from metal wire and tossed it up and down, looking at Yuwen Huaji and the others with a half-smile...

"I'm really curious about what this thing you're looking for is. I'm very interested in the contents on it."

"Since you cannot understand the contents above, why not give Yuwen Huaji face? This is what His Majesty desires. In the future, the Yuwen clan and the court will surely repay you handsomely!"

Yuwen Huaji's tone was very respectful and polite, but he was already subtly threatening Bai Wujie by mentioning the name of the Yuwen Clan.

Without a doubt, Bai Wujie could definitely hear the obvious threat!

"You're threatening me?" Bai Wujie grinned.

"Men! Seize him!"

Yu Chisheng, who was standing nearby, immediately shouted loudly, but no matter how much he shouted, not a single soldier who was supposed to be guarding the governor's mansion could be seen.

"Are you looking for them?" Bai Wujie asked cheerfully, opening his cloak...

The next moment, a series of heads rolled out from his cloak, their eyes wide open in death... and most of those heads were the skilled men that Yuwen Huaji had brought from his home!

"If the experts in your world are only at this level, then I am very disappointed."

"kill!"

Now that things had come to this, Yuwen Huaji stopped being polite and leaped high into the air like a large bird, swooping down on Bai Wujie with astonishing force.

At a distance of about ten feet, the surrounding air was so cold it felt like it had frozen solid. The chill seeped in through every crack, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's teeth chattered as they cried out in alarm.

"Ah! It's an expert, boss, retreat quickly!"

Of course, Bai Wujie wouldn't back down, but he also didn't want to use any magnetic field power. Just as he said, he was quite interested in this "martial arts" world.

He didn't use magnetic field power; he simply used his physical body to receive Yuwen Huaji's palm strike.

"Hmph!" Yuwen Huaji snorted coldly, thinking to himself that the other party was indeed an ignorant Jianghu ruffian who did not even know about the famous Ice Profound Force of their Yuwen clan!

The Ice Profound Force, carrying a strange swirling force, attempted to twist Bai Wujie's meridians the moment it made contact, while continuously injecting its internal energy into his body to solidify his blood into frost!

Bai Wujie was simply feeling it, directly experiencing this interesting power with his hands.

His hands were frozen solid, as if they would be instantly shattered at any moment.

Therefore, Yuwen Huaji further strengthened his forces—

Ten breaths later, Yuwen Huaji realized something was wrong!

He has already poured in so much Ice Profound Internal Force; logically speaking, even a Grandmaster-level figure should have turned into an ice sculpture by now!

However, the boy in front of them only maintained part of the condensation on his hands, as if he had deliberately kept it!

"Is that all there is to it? You, a martial arts master, have only disappointed me!"

Bai Wujie tilted his head slightly and sighed.

This so-called martial art was nothing new to Bai Wujie... It was nothing more than using force to lower the temperature of the surrounding air and solidify the liquid. He had known this old trick for hundreds of years!

Magnetic field forces can be manipulated even more powerfully and in more intricate ways than this.

If this is all you've got, then your stuff is absolutely worthless!

Bai Wujie exerted all his strength, not even bothering to use the force of the electric current...

The ancient martial arts energy cultivated from the ultimate boundless qigong alone repelled Yuwen Huaji!

"Cuck!"

Yuwen Huaji cried out in pain, clutching his chest and staggering back dozens of steps, staring in disbelief at the ice that Bai Wujie had shattered in his hands…

How is this possible? This incredibly powerful internal energy is something no person of this age could possibly possess!

Even if he's a grandmaster... could the other person be a great grandmaster?

Impossible! None of the three great masters in the world, Martial Saint Bi Xuan, Sword Master Fu Cailin, and the hermit Ning Daoqi, could look like this.

Moreover, that internal energy had none of the characteristics of the three grandmasters; it was like simple, unchanging, crude and primitive internal energy!

"Who exactly are you, esteemed master? Please forgive my ignorance!" Yuwen Huaji hurriedly bought a soft...

"You threatened me, and now that you can't beat me, you've given in. Should I, with the magnanimity of a master, forgive you?"

Bai Wujie laughed.

"No, it won't be like that! Because I'm a free spirit, I do whatever I want!"

"You've bored me. Since your martial arts can no longer amaze me, then die!"

Bai Wujie channeled the ancient martial arts energy within his body, and at that moment Yuwen Huaji's eyes widened in surprise!

Because he sensed that the internal energy had transformed into an incomparably pure, even more terrifying, Ice Profound Force internal energy!

But that couldn't possibly be some kind of Ice Profound Force. Bai Wujie was just imitating Yuwen Huaji's actions, changing the attributes of his ancient martial arts energy, and then unleashing a martial art from the Imperial Supreme Book.

"The Imperial Ice Seal Breaks!"

3. White slave

The Imperial Ultimate Book of Astounding Martial Arts is more of a book on destiny than a martial arts manual.

Or perhaps this thing was originally just a book on destiny analysis that didn't involve any magnetic field martial arts at all...

It wasn't until the ancestor of magnetic fields, Lan Daotianwu, improved upon it that those "martial arts" elements were added.

The martial arts techniques included in it are mostly inferior to those in the Bodhidharma Sutra and the Bai Family's unique skills.

Compared to the Six Great Arts of the Bai Family, which emphasize lethality and combat ability, the martial arts of the Imperial Extreme Book of Amazing Worlds place more emphasis on "change".

For example, the moves that start with Huangji—Huangji Jellyfish Fist, Huangji Ice Seal Break, Huangji Immortal Body, and Huangji Sword Dao—are almost all moves that focus on changing form.

This means transforming magnetic field power into other physical forms for use, and is more about control and utilization than direct attack.

Therefore, this thing is unlikely to have a direct effect in high-level duels.

In the martial arts duels of Bai Wujie's level, regardless of the fighting style, everyone would eventually engage in a head-on collision.

Such tricks of "change" are almost completely ineffective.

Simply put, the martial arts techniques in the Imperial Supreme Manual are mostly only good for bullying weak opponents.

Of course, this is also because the martial arts in the Imperial Supreme Book of Astounding Martial Arts do not include the martial arts of that killer whale, Oga...

However, Bai Wujie didn't think there was anything particularly noteworthy about Oga's martial arts that needed to be learned...

At this moment, it would be very appropriate for Bai Wujie, who chose not to use magnetic field power but simply to drive his abilities with ancient martial arts energy, to use the martial arts of the Imperial Supreme Book.

By imitating and learning, and by studying cognition, Bai Wujie wanted to rewrite the shortcomings of the Huangji Jingshi Shu martial arts content from the most basic template.

Just like Yuwen Huaji's Ice Profound Force, it certainly didn't offer any inspiration to Bai Wujie.
