I'm a magnetic field madman

When Kou Zhong slowly awoke from that blood-red dream, he found himself naked and tied to a tree, while Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen looked at him with concern.

There seemed to be a small village not far from them, and Bai Wujie, fiddling with the wild goose he had shot down, casually roasted it over a fire while saying...

"You're recovering quite quickly."

"I... Boss, have I disappointed you?" Kou Zhong opened his mouth slightly, but all his thoughts and words ultimately turned into this sentence...

"Disappointed? Maybe, but I think I went a bit too far," Bai Wujie said casually.

He didn't care about Kou Zhong's opinion; that's just how he thought.

Although the experiment was intended to help Kou Zhong master the Heavenly Martial Killing Path in the shortest possible time... it seems that he still poured too much mental energy into it.

It was already quite good that Kou Zhong was able to briefly break free from control instead of killing Xu Ziling with a single punch, but Bai Wujie was probably a little disappointed—

If Kou Zhong really killed Xu Ziling, he might be able to quickly gain entry into the Heavenly Martial Killing Path!

Wow! What an interesting scene!

But it was just a thought; Bai Wujie wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately ruin anything for fun!

Moreover, the current scene is a pleasant surprise for him!

"So, you've obtained the power you've always dreamed of, and now what do you want to do?"

Bai Wujie flipped the goose in his hand, watching its flesh gradually turn red from the heat of the flames, and casually said...

"I..." Kou Zhong opened his mouth slightly, and he and Xu Ziling remained silent.

Because we really don't know what they can do.

The desire for power stems purely from a desire to no longer be trampled into the mud at will, as before.

But they just didn't have any lofty goals. After all, it would be nonsense for two petty thugs to talk about some earth-shattering and awe-inspiring ambitions!

Just then, a group of people charged down the hillside from a small village not far away. This cavalry of about sixty men, judging from their disheveled warrior attire, must be the rebels. Each of them wore a green turban on their arm. As soon as they entered the village, they shot down several dogs that rushed out. Then they searched house by house, driving out all the more than one hundred men, women, and children in the village. Chickens flew and dogs ran, and cries for children and mothers filled the air.

These so-called rebels rode up to the crowd of men in Pai Li Village, selected the strong and able-bodied, drove them aside, and had them tied together with ropes, displaying their utter tyranny and cruelty. Anyone who resisted was immediately whipped half to death with a whip.

The leader, leering, dragged out a pretty village woman, seemingly about to commit that shameless act in public.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling immediately showed reluctance and anger, but they instinctively had the idea of ​​shrinking back. However, upon further reflection, they realized that they were no longer the weak hooligans they once were!

Kou Zhong believed that Bai Wujie's decision to bring them to this place was not arbitrary. He took a deep breath, freed himself from the ropes, and said earnestly to Bai Wujie…

"Boss, I'll be right back."

Xu Ziling immediately followed suit, and just as the rebels were running rampant, a furious shout was heard. Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong rushed out and kicked the rebel leader away!

"Damn it, where did these two idiots come from! They dare to meddle in the affairs of our Jianghuai Army!"

The rebel leader scrambled to his feet, his face contorted in pain, clutching his waist and roaring angrily. At his command, his entire army drew their swords and aimed them at the two men.

"The Jianghuai Army? Then your leader must be Du Fuwei!" Xu Ziling roared.

"Isn't the Jianghuai Army known for 'leading the charge when going out and covering the rear when retreating'? How could you do such a heinous thing!"

"A disgraceful act? Damn it, don't we need rations and pay to fight the government troops? Don't we need to eat and drink to rebel against that emperor?" the rebel leader sneered.

"It is their blessing to contribute to the great cause of our Jianghuai Army!"

Having said all that, there was nothing more to say. Even the usually mild-mannered Xu Ziling was now filled with rage and unleashed his power!

Although these two no longer had the "help" provided by Bai Wujie, they had gradually adapted to the power propelled by the electric current in their bodies, and these so-called rebels were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.

However, the two were quite restrained at the beginning, only managing to injure people without killing them.

Seeing that the rebel leader was frustrated by the prolonged siege, he wanted to sacrifice the villagers next to him!

"Stop!!" Kou Zhong attacked in anger, unleashing a seemingly impressive Heavenly Martial Giant Shark Fist that instantly tore the rebel leader in two!

"He's an expert! Everyone, retreat quickly!"

One of the rebels shouted, but since blood had already been drawn, how could they easily give up?

Before long, only sixty or so unrecognizable corpses remained in the entire village…

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, covered in blood from the killing, remained silent under the fearful gazes of the villagers, but their eyes were no longer lost.

Upon seeing this, Bai Wujie also revealed a pleasant smile.

See? The dog has finally learned to bite...

11. Transformation of the Power Star

After slaughtering the rebel army that had plundered the village, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong quickly returned... but they didn't rush to change their blood-stained clothes. Instead, they stood in front of Bai Wujie and whispered...

"Boss, do you... want to seize the world?" Kou Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Interest? No, I have absolutely no interest in ruling over a bunch of nonsensical things."

Bai Wujie tossed the charred goose into the fire and said calmly...

Bai Wujie doesn't dislike ruling, but even if he were to rule, he would choose a world that would interest him in the long term.

And without a doubt, neither the previous world nor this one gave him any pleasure in ruling.

Because they are too weak, because they are too stupid, because the people here are even stupider than the people on Earth to the point that Bai Wujie wants to kill them all! And because they are too weak, Bai Wujie has no interest in waiting for them to slowly grow up to challenge him.

"Do you think I'll do what I do when I take power? Before I even begin to rule, I'll kill everyone who disobeys me, everyone who rebels against me, and everyone I don't like," Bai Wujie grinned.

"Ruling is a troublesome thing, but only for those who want to do it well. For those who don't care, all they need to know is how to kill."

Yes, a simple and blunt reason. Ruling the world is incredibly complex, but if you only want to rule and not cure it, then all you need to do is kill!

Kou Zhong's expression immediately became incredibly complex. Having witnessed all of this, and reflecting on his own life from childhood to the present, he and Xu Ziling, these two young men, already harbored vague thoughts in their hearts.

Having power, they wanted to change something, to accomplish something. If possible, they hoped the country wouldn't remain in such chaos.

But what exactly is a so-called enlightened ruler? If the emperor is good, he will never be overthrown. Can these rebel armies be considered righteous?

But what they did was no different from those officers and soldiers who bullied others by abusing their power.

Along the way, they didn't actually see a single army that truly won them over.

What I saw and saw was nothing more than a group of ambitious people chasing power like dogs chasing a bone.

A vague idea surfaced in Kou Zhong's mind. He hesitated, pondered, and finally concluded...

"If... if you're not willing to do it either, then I think I'd like to give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Kou Zhongbian felt a sense of relief. He looked up at the dazzling starry sky, his face stained with blood yet filled with unwavering determination and seriousness...

"I don't know how to rule an army, nor do I know how to govern the people, but I just think that if I could sit on that throne, I might have a chance to try and do it well!"

"Xiao Zhong, you can't say things like that..." Wei Zhenzhen said in a slightly surprised whisper.

"Do you want to be the emperor? But the emperor is... but..."

"Noble bloodline? Ha, that's all bullshit," Fu Junzhuo sneered.

"Let alone your Yang family from the Central Plains, so what if it's our Goguryeo? What is Gao Jianwu? If he weren't my master, would he even be worthy of being king?"

Fu Junzhuo disliked Bai Wujie, but there was one thing about him that she liked very much—Bai Wujie never talked about any nonsense about nobility or family background; he only used his fists and violence… but that was more convincing than any nonsense about bloodline!

"Noble? What is nobility? Nobility is when I knock you to the ground with one punch and you can only kneel and submit to me. That's nobility." Bai Wujie grinned maliciously.

"What's the point of all that babbling nonsense! Since your fists are strong enough, go and rob them! You're not going to spout some nonsensical drivel about the sake of the world, are you?"

“But conquering the world isn’t something one person can do alone…” Xu Ziling frowned.

"No matter how strong an individual is, we still need some officials, some soldiers, and some... people to get things done."

"Then let's fucking rob it!" Bai Wujie sneered.

"Kill the leader, and you can become the leader. Just kill those who disagree; kill as many as there are opposition. Is it really that hard to seize a ruling position?"

Xu Ziling opened his mouth slightly, undoubtedly revealing himself to be the kind of person who had little ambition and was extremely fussy.

He found it hard to agree with Bai Wujie's barbaric and pure statement, yet he couldn't refute it either.

Kou Zhong's gaze, however, gradually cleared and hardened. He took a deep breath and laughed heartily...

"I'm relieved now, boss! I'll still follow you from now on, but if the time is right, I'd like to try and seize control of the world!"

Bai Wujie smiled without saying a word, simply gazing at the dazzling stars in the sky. At this moment, the Power Star finally began its orbit.

Bai Wujie had already decided on his fun plan: in addition to collecting martial arts techniques to improve himself, he would also see if the so-called "fate" could be easily broken.

He would see then whether, under his interference, this "power star," destined to gain power but also suffer disaster, could become a true "imperial star"!

Although he understood his own desires and pursuits, Kou Zhong still chose to act alongside Bai Wujie.

For no other reason than that Kou Zhong still needed to think about what to do.

Although he had already vaguely agreed with Bai Wujie's words in his heart, Kou Zhong was clearly not as pure and absolute as Bai Wujie.

Although his thinking has been gradually influenced by the power, Kou Zhong's ideas are still those of this "era".

The country he wants to build will certainly not be what Bai Wujie described.

This is actually a good thing, even Bai Wujie thinks so.

Although he disliked fussy actions, he never believed that his kind of eccentric, domineering ideas could have anything to do with the word "good".

He advocated a hellish political system, purely based on his own ideas. He also understood that there is no such thing as a perfect system in this world; there is only what is suitable, not what is perfect!

Although Kou Zhong is a petty hoodlum, he has a long-term perspective on certain issues...

Xu Ziling, in particular, acts as a "brake" by offering him advice and strategies.

These two brothers really do have a bit of the feel of Jaws and Tony the Electric Eyes.

However, in terms of personality, Kou Zhong, the "Great White Shark," is more power-hungry, while Xu Ziling, the "Electric Eyes," is indifferent to desires and rather fussy.

This is why Kou Zhong did not follow Bai Wujie's advice to "seize" power, but instead chose to kill Du Fuwei and take over the Jianghuai Army.

He and Xu Ziling believed that as long as Du Fuwei was alive, he could still keep the Jianghuai Army in check... but if he died, even if they took over the Jianghuai Army, they would still have to spend a lot of time unifying it.

Moreover, Bai Wujie would never change his course of action for Kou Zhong.

The more important thing for the two brothers now is to follow Bai Wujie and study what he teaches them.

It took another week and several days for the group to arrive in Yuhang.

Yuhang was a place of prosperity no less than Yangzhou... The flames of war never reached this place, and it flourished just like Yangzhou.

And because of its coastal location, the people of Yuhang are relatively wealthy.

The only reason for passing through Yuhang was to make a detour to Dongping County, and then head directly to Luoyang. As Fu Junzhuo had said, Bai Wujie had the idea of ​​giving Kou Zhong some "practice" skills since they were passing through this area.

The wealthy coastal area of ​​Yuhang has been divided up by three gangs: the Hai Sha Gang, a henchman of the Yuwen Clan; the Shui Long Gang, a member of the Song Clan; and the Ju Kun Gang, which controls local shipping.

All three are powerful local gangs, with the Water Dragon Gang, which sells sea salt, being the richest, the Sand Gang, which controls the docks, and the Giant Kun Gang, which is neither particularly powerful nor weak... Their only notable feature is probably their "beautiful female gang leader".

Of course, Fu Junzhuo found all of this information from who-knows-where.

Bai Wujie certainly didn't care about these clueless clowns forming a clique. He was just passing by and let Kou Zhong and the others practice their skills.

Because the Sea Sand Gang would definitely cause them trouble, and trouble requires dealing with trouble. Bai Wujie didn't want to lose face or waste time, so he was too lazy to do it himself and handed it over to Kou Zhong.

But how it's done, and to what extent, Bai Wujie won't interfere at all... as long as Kou Zhong ensures that no one wastes Bai Wujie's time, that's enough.

So, as soon as they entered Yuhang, Bai Wujie and the others separated from Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong went directly to the Hai Sha Gang to resolve the trouble before it came to them, while Bai Wujie and the others simply found an inn to stay at.

People who attract attention are always the center of attention, and Bai Wujie was no exception. But what attracted him was not just those who were interested in his appearance and hair color.

Treasure, riches, and seemingly plausible rumors are so captivating and alluring to others.

And for those worthless stones, there will always be people willing to go to great lengths for them...

Bai Wujie had just booked a restaurant when someone rudely barged into the floor they had reserved.

"You must be Young Master Bai Wujie, and I am..."

A beautiful woman with a face as white as jade and skin as smooth as cream, dressed in a warrior's outfit that accentuated her stunning figure, led the way and smiled at Bai Wujie... while behind her followed a burly man in a brocade robe with an extremely ugly face.

"Did you book a fake restaurant? Why do these clueless idiots keep barging in?"

Bai Wujie completely ignored the beautiful woman, and just looked at Wei Zhenzhen and said quietly...

Wei Zhenzhen looked aggrieved. Of course, she had booked the restaurant according to Bai Wujie's instructions, but there are always people who are courting death, and even she couldn't stop them.

The stunningly beautiful woman hesitated slightly at the corners of her eyes, but still maintained a fake smile and cupped her hands in greeting...
