Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 692. Chapter 691. Eight Exquisite Treasures (Part 1)

The bustling city gate of Xinzheng remains as busy as ever.

Nothing unusual.

But that is the biggest anomaly.

For those who are unaware, they have no idea that they have brushed with death or are about to brush with death. But for those who are aware, although they have not brushed with death, they know who they can offend and who they cannot. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Those who cannot be offended will not be offended, and thus they will not face death. But this does not mean that they are safe, or rather, it does not mean that they feel safe.

Looking at the world today.

There are many masters.

But it's rare.

Among the warring states, the seven states were the most intellectually powerful.

Suppose there are one hundred masters.

It was divided equally among the seven kingdoms.

There are only fourteen or fifteen people in each country.

Not to mention that there are not even a hundred Grandmasters in the world. According to Luo Wang's statistics, there are a total of 67 known Grandmasters still alive in this world. Among them, the Yin Yang School, the Agricultural School, the Military School, and the Confucian School have the largest proportions on the surface, while Luo Wang and the Iron Blood Alliance have the largest proportions behind the scenes. These forces combined account for about half of the above data, which is more than 30.

The Net of Eight.

The three members of the Iron Blood Alliance.

Two Confucian scholars, plus a Celestial Realm expert.

The Yin-Yang School consists of eight members, plus a Celestial Realm expert.

Six military strategists.

However, since these six men served different states—for example, Wang Jian served Qin, while Li Mu and Lian Po served Zhao—even though they belonged to the same school of thought, they shouldn't really be grouped into one camp. Therefore, the military strategist school has always existed in name only. It can be said that on the battlefield, whoever wins is the representative of the military strategist school, and whose ideology is the mainstream of the military strategist school. Those who refute him are considered heretics. As for rebuttal, it's very simple. The military strategist school's rebuttal is never limited to words, but is based on war. Whether a donkey or a horse is a donkey or a horse, you'll know once you take it out for a spin. A real man should meet with swords on the battlefield. This is how Bai Qi became a sage of the military strategist school. He beat up all the military strategists in the world, and no one could defeat him. Naturally, he became a sage of the military strategist school.

However, regardless of the circumstances, military strategists still exist.

If anyone dares to say that military strategists are incompetent.

These bigwigs might very well team up and test these claims.

Let's see which one of these people dares to say no.

Then there are the farmhouses of today.

After the battle with Bai Qi.

The farmers suffered a severe blow.

It's not fair to say he's completely devastated, but at least after all these years, the wounds haven't fully healed.

Otherwise, the total number of Grandmasters might be increased by nearly twenty.

Therefore, the masters should be divided equally.

There are only nine to ten people in a country.

Small countries like South Korea.

This is especially true for small countries whose rulers have no ambition for advancement.

It can be said that it holds little appeal for most grandmasters, who are unwilling to come and assist them or waste their time here.

To put it bluntly, most grandmasters are the leaders of a school of thought.

Or they may create their own doctrines.

Or the current leader of a certain school of thought.

For example, Lü Buwei was the leader of the Miscellaneous School.

Their pursuit is to achieve great things, not to rely on so-called military force to show off their power and be easily defeated in front of a large army.

Moreover, the prevailing idea in the world is that creation is always more difficult than destruction!

This is also why the Net, which only knows how to kill, is not taken seriously by the various schools of thought and many other masters, despite having eight grandmasters.

The existence of nets is of no benefit to the people of the world.

Others can change the world.

For example, in farming, it can help people achieve high yields of crops.

For example, the Mohist school could save on labor costs.

There's also Legalism, which can offer fairness to ordinary people. This includes Confucianism.

It can help people understand right from wrong and learn about culture. It is a very good path to advancement and has helped many people change their destiny. It is a system that values ​​talent above all else.

Although this era is not as chaotic as the future.

Moral character and reputation are still important; it is not simply a matter of selecting the best talent.

But without talent, even virtue and reputation are useless.

But no matter what, a grandmaster is still a grandmaster.

To place a master in a complex environment.

Take Xinzheng as an example.

There are no opponents of the same level to fight against.

Even if we bring in hundreds of thousands of troops, we can forget about flattening it.

Of course, if there were generals like Bai Qi, who dared to order the city to be flooded, or like the infamous Prime Minister Cao, who ordered the massacre of a city out of spite, even a grandmaster would not be able to withstand an army of hundreds of thousands.

After all, a grandmaster's strength depends on their environment.

It relied on the fact that human lives were at stake and public opinion.

This approach works very well in modern times.

No one dares to use missiles to bomb their own people.

If the civilians were from an enemy country, things might be different, but one's own superiors would never order the bombing of their own people. Besides, they wouldn't be killed anyway. With the shelters in place, only those civilians who don't know martial arts would die. A master could simply break out after a round of bombing, leave the shelters, and head to another area. It's impossible to kill everyone in a city. If that happened, the people would definitely rebel out of fear. After all, there's a difference between being implicated in a crime and being slaughtered for committing a crime. Compared to being slaughtered for committing a crime, such as being executed along with one's entire family for rebellion, being bombed to death without having done anything is far more terrifying.

Furthermore, even grandmasters are human.

Modern weapons can be used.

The missiles came.

One explosion.

A cloud of smoke and dust.

He could instantly transform into a demon in the smoke by drawing his sword.

Playing melee combat with a grandmaster.

All I can say is that I understand everything.

Therefore, whether a grandmaster is strong or not depends on the attitude of those in power.

If those in power dare to dig their own graves.

They abandoned their own foundation.

All for the sake of killing this grandmaster.

It is possible.

However, the sudden arrival of a grandmaster still alerted many people, making them realize that the undercurrents surging beneath the stagnant waters of Xinzheng might take this opportunity to truly surface, turning into a storm that would sweep across Xinzheng and Korea.

"Can you find him?"

On the city gate tower.

The man in the straw hat and raincoat, unusually, confirmed this with the young man beside him, who was dressed in a black outfit adorned with black feathers, had strange patterns tattooed on his face, and looked somewhat sinister.

The young man shook his head slowly.

The tone was casual.

Both are innate masters.

He doesn't need to show too much respect.

Moreover, he was Ji Wuye's personal guard commander.

He is the leader of the male group of the assassin organization Hundred Birds.

He reports directly to Ji Wuye.

There's no need to consider anything else.

Therefore, his answer was obvious. He spoke frankly and without concealment: "I didn't see him. However, that's normal. As a top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization, although Hei Bai Xuan Jian is known in the martial world for his ruthless actions and leaving no survivors, he is ultimately an assassin, not a general. Concealing one's whereabouts is an assassin's instinct. Even if he's not particularly good at it, it's only relative to those other top-tier assassins who are also grandmasters. For a mere innate martial artist like me, if I could see through his whereabouts, it would only mean he's luring me into a trap..."
