The rain poured down.

Lu Miaomiao stood behind Xia Ji, holding an umbrella.

“For the first round, you will use 10,000 Bloodline Soldiers, while I will use 7,000 ordinary soldiers and 3,000 Bloodline Soldiers. After that, send one of your generals to fight me. ”

“How do we decide the winner?” Xia Yun asked.

Xia Ji said, ” We’ll use the condensed image to cut through the mountains. We’ll be fair about who’s stronger. Is that okay? ”

“Please continue, Headmaster,” Xia Yun thought for a moment and said.

Xia Ji said, ” The second round will be an assassination. Each side will send five people, and one of them will be the leader. Whichever side’s leader is killed will lose. ”

“If everyone sticks to the Lord’s side and doesn’t move, what should we do?” Xia Yun asked.

” Two more conditions, ” Xia Ji said. ” At most, one person can protect the King. The other three must attack. ” Other than that, the terrain must not be destroyed during the battle, because during the actual assassination process, it was impossible to alarm the surrounding people. How is it?”

Xia Yun thought for a moment and felt that it was fair. She felt that the Headmaster in front of her was extremely powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he had not broken through to the eleventh realm and had not condensed a Dharmakaya. No…She suddenly remembered that the Headmaster was a monster-level existence that couldn’t be measured by realms.

Therefore, she asked, “With the Headmaster of the Academy participating in the battle, won’t the Great Zhou be invincible in this battle?”

“Do you think so highly of an old man of the Ten States?” Xia Ji laughed.

“Although the Headmaster is in the Ten States, who in the world can say that he is better than you?” Xia Yun said. If the Headmaster calls himself an old man, I would have been old long ago.”

” Then there’s no need to compete, ” Xia Ji said. ” Just admit defeat.

Xia Yun pondered for a moment and slowly said, “Please press this button first.

Let the Headmaster say the third round.”

“The third round will be a hand-to-hand chat,” Xia Ji said.

“Hand chat?”

“The Headmaster is right, but this matter…This matter is of great importance. Can you give me some time to return and discuss it?”

“But, in two months, regardless of whether you agree or not, come here to see me.

If we agree, we will announce this bet to the world and make an oath with all living beings in the world as witnesses.

In this way, if anyone loses but doesn’t fulfill his promise, he will definitely lose his promise to the world and himself. Is that okay?”

“It’s a deal.” Xia Yun nodded.

Both sides returned and told the Emperor of the Great Zhou and the Emperor of the Northern Shang about this bet.

At this moment…

Great Zhou Juye City, Imperial Lord Palace, a secret meeting was ongoing.

The Shen family’s general and the head of literature were in charge of the overall situation outside and could not return. The general only sent a letter back.

The letter was already spread out in front of everyone.

There were only three lines on the letter:

Are you still a member of an aristocratic family?

Are you still a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Return to be the emperor’s teacher?

The three questions were to say that Xia Ji should not have bet on this competition. Instead, he should have used his ability to gather the hearts of the people to launch a soft attack on the Northern Shang. In this way, within three years, the Northern Shang would definitely be defeated.

Victory was clearly in his grasp, so why did he have to do something unnecessary?

Xia Ji read the letter calmly.

There were too many things hidden in his heart. Righteousness and evil were just for children. Victory and defeat were not pure. The victory he wanted was not this kind of victory, so he would not gather the people’s hearts here to start a war.

It wasn’t that he cherished his feathers, nor was it purely for the sake of the common people.His merit was not damaged.

Perhaps some people would mock this kind of merit, but if what you did was beneficial to the entire world and the people of the world, who would mock you for being hypocritical if you had the name of a saint? If this was also hypocrisy, then why not let everyone in the world be so hypocritical instead of doing despicable things with a sharp mouth and spreading rumors.

Everyone in the secret meeting glanced at the white-haired teacher. It was impossible to say that they did not respect him.

Everyone could see what the Headmaster had done in the past few years. Even though there were many silkpants in the aristocratic families, they were also moved by his charisma.

Everyone understood.

He knew that the Headmaster wanted to kill fewer people and end the war between the north and the south as soon as possible, so he made this bet.

“I understand what you mean, Headmaster,” said Houtu suddenly.

But have you ever thought that if you lose, the battle situation in the world will become unclear again?

If you use the people’s hearts as a blade and cooperate with us, we will definitely break through the city within three years. If blood is shed, it will only be for these three years.

That’s right, the amount of blood shed in these three years will be unprecedented, but at least the war will end, right?”

This was the Zhou family’s Imperial Advisor, the Ten Directions Supremacy. The Zhou family was mostly connected to the righteous path of the pugilistic world and Buddhism.

Just like how San Zhangxue grew up in Tianguan Spirit Spring Temple, Shi Fangzun grew up in Six Tooth White Elephant Temple.

Many years ago, Xia Ji had fought with Sakra of the Six Tooth White Elephant Temple.

Shi Fang Zun’s temperament was similar to Di Shi Tian, he had a grand spirit but was a man of few words.

But now, he had no choice but to speak.

The Tenfold Supremacy plucked out nine prayer beads and raised his hand to meet Xia Ji’s gaze. The Headmaster of the Academy is always open and aboveboard. He should be a saint in this world. But how confident is he in this bet? ‘

Another important general of the Great Zhou said, “The Headmaster has never been on the battlefield, so he doesn’t know how terrifying the Eight Wonders of the Confucian Sect are. This isn’t me trying to boost the morale of others and diminish my own prestige, but the Eight Wonders are godlike soldiers. How dare the Headmaster compete with them?”

Xia Ji didn’t explain. Instead, he said quietly, “”Your Majesty, please give me

7,000 ordinary soldiers and 3,000 bloodline soldiers.”

” What if the Headmaster loses? ” Houtu asked persistently.

I won’t lose, ” Xia Ji answered softly. ” I won’t lose. ”

” This isn’t child’s play, ” Houtu asked. ” Why can’t we lose? ‘

Xia Ji turned around and looked at Houtu, who was wearing a mask. He smiled and said, ‘”‘ Concubine Wu, you’re not young anymore. Don’t you want to return to the aristocratic family and advance to the peak of the eleventh realm as soon as possible? ”

“I …” Houtu was stunned. ” You…” Why are you talking about this?”

‘ Let me end the war, ” Xia Ji said gently. ” Alright? ”

Houtu glanced at the man’s white hair. No one knew better than her…Whether it was the Su family or the Lu family, they had tried all kinds of methods on this man, but they could not help him break through to the eleventh realm. This meant that his lifespan was the lifespan of a mortal.

To the people of the aristocratic families, forty to fifty years old might be just past the stage of youth and teenage girls. To those at the peak of the eleventh realm, it might be just the beginning. However, to him, it was already past the noon and heading towards the end of his life.

The heavens were jealous of talents…

If Headmaster wants my support, ” Houtu said, ” you can defeat me. ” Xia Ji turned to look at the others.

“I’m also thick-skinned to ask the Headmaster for advice,” said Tenfold

Supremacy.

“Where are the others?” Xia Ji asked.

“With the Hidden Lord and the Grand Tutor taking action, we naturally won’t have any objections,” everyone hurriedly said.

Xia Ji looked at Ji Xuan on Emperor’s Throne and bowed. “”Your Majesty, please allow it.”

Ji Xuan’s confidence in Xia Ji had always been off the charts. He could still vaguely remember the day the Black Emperor flew past him…Then, the teacher said that the Black Emperor was him.

The Emperor of Great Zhou had long since forgotten how terrifying his teacher was. Now, this seemingly old man seemed even more mysterious, terrifying, and noble in his eyes.

“Yes, but the three beloved ministers will stop there.” He nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

After saying that.

The three of them walked out of the secret chamber and stood in front of a hidden and rather spacious open space in the Great Zhou’s temporary palace.

The open space was next to the lake.

The green willows by the lake swayed in the midsummer wind, casting their shadows on the slightly wrinkled lake.

Other than the red and green flowers, there were also a thousand floating clouds in the sky.

Everyone stood by the lake and slowly spread out, leaving only the three people who were now the pillars of the Great Zhou standing in confrontation. Shi Fang Zun looked at Houtu, put his palms together and nodded slightly. ‘”‘1’11 go first.”

Houtu’s cultivation method could not be used well in a bright place. If the Ten Directions Supreme was defeated, she would naturally wait until night to fight with the Headmaster. The gap in between would also allow the Headmaster to rest, so she would not have too much of an advantage.

Just as she was about to retreat, she heard the Headmaster’s voice.

“Wu Ji, wait a moment.”

” You…” Houtu stopped and said coldly, ” Don’t tell me you want to fight me and the Imperial Advisor at the same time? ”

Xia Ji shook his head and said gently, ” That’s not what I meant. It’s just that look at the sky. There are clouds everywhere. Look around. The scenery is beautiful…’

Houtu didn’t know what was going on, but Tenfold Supreme smiled and said, “”The wind moves, the water moves, the flowers bloom and wither, and the clouds roll and spread. Naturally, it’s the same for people.”

“The wind might not move?” Xia Ji asked. The water might not move? Flowers may not bloom and wither, but clouds may not roll and spread.”

“I can’t make the wind and water of heaven and earth remain still.” The Tenfold Supremacy pondered for a moment.

“Where’s Concubine Wu?” Xia Ji asked.

Houtu thought for a while and shook her head.

No one understood this conversation and only thought that it was the unfathomable things that experts usually said before fighting…

“Watch carefully,” Xia Ji said softly.

It seemed that he was unwilling to show it, but he was also unwilling to fight, so he had no choice but to show it. He sighed and took a step forward.

Step by step,

He walked towards the lakeside.

One step produces ten thousand laws,

Ten steps, one hundred thousand techniques.

Dharmas that covered the sky and earth appeared around him.

Their images are different,

Some were filled with pressure like a great roc soaring, some were calm and hidden like a hidden dragon in the abyss, some were like the collapse of a divine peak, some were as vast as the stars and the moon in the sky..

Among these Dharma Idols, there were many Dharma Idols that everyone recognized. They were the powers recorded in the Ten Thousand Dharma Scroll, and there were also many Dharma Idols that no one recognized.

These Dharma Idols followed the Headmaster’s footsteps like giant peacocks in this world, with the mountains and rivers as their colorful feathers, blooming. Dharma was a manifestation of the interaction between human power and heaven and earth.

When it reached a certain level, it was a phenomenon of heaven and earth.

At this moment, these numerous Dharma Idols actually brought about another scene…

The world froze.

The water does not flow, the wind does not move, the flowers do not bloom and wither, the clouds do not roll and spread.

Even everyone felt as if they had been “frozen”.

He was only frozen, but he did not feel the bone-chilling coldness or the difficulty in circulating the Zhenqi in his body. Because this power was gentle, kind, and not hostile.

It was the Headmaster’s.

In an instant, the world stopped, the wind and clouds did not move, and all living beings were silent.

Shi Fang Zun and Houtu were deeply immersed in this vast power. It was like a dream. They were not afraid, but they admired it.

The brutal power was like throwing you into the scorching sun, leaving no bones behind.

The great power would bring you to the right distance before the scorching sun, allowing you to see the tip of the great iceberg and gain enlightenment in your heart. From there, you would know that the future was still far away and you could set off again.

At this moment, this power was the latter.

The Tenfold Supremacy and Houtu hurriedly closed their eyes and treasured this rare opportunity to comprehend.

Soon, a soft voice broke the silence and became the only movement in this loneliness.

“Are we still competing?” Xia Ji asked.

The Tenfold Supremacy and Houtu opened their eyes from their comprehension, feeling a little regretful.

” The Headmaster won, ” he replied naturally. ” There’s no need to compete anymore. ”

“Thanks.”

Xia Ji bowed.

Everyone hurriedly bowed in return and said in unison,Thank you, Master. ‘

In their eyes, the Headmaster was already a living god..
