When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 29 Youth Cup Hidden Dragon Championship
On October 10th, 2099 (Star Calendar), at 4:00 PM, the Dongxia Martial Arts Association issued a notice announcing that the Junior Cup Hidden Dragon Championship would be held one month later, on November 10th.

The age limit for participants in this competition is 18 years old. All citizens of Dongxia can participate by logging into the Star Network, and there are many rewards available.

Entering the top 32 will earn you 100 points.

Reaching the top 16 will earn you 200 points.

The top eight will receive 400 points, while the top four will receive an additional 800 points and can choose one martial art from the organizer's gift list as a reward.

The champion will be awarded the unique martial art of the First Genius of Dongxia, the Honorary Alumnus of Yujing Martial Arts University, the Champion of the 16th International Youth Martial Arts Tournament, and the Tai Su Fairy Mu Yaoguang – the Sheathless Sword Drawing Technique.

At the same time, Bai Ze's inbox also received a text message from the Martial Arts Association: Martial artist Bai Ze, congratulations on obtaining the qualification to participate in the Youth Cup Hidden Dragon Championship. If you are interested in participating, please click on [Register for the Competition].

The forum immediately erupted in excitement.

Bai Ze refreshed the page and found that the "King of Mouth" had already posted a video of "Sword Drawing Technique Without Sheath," which was immediately pinned to the top.

He also clicked in and took a look.

The video opens with a bird's-eye view overlooking the mountains and a slightly overcast sky. The camera then quickly zooms in at the foot of a mountain, where a waterfall cascades down, creating a loud roar. A woman in a long black dress stands in front of the waterfall.

She gently raised her right hand, and countless particles gathered in her palm, forming a silver-blue longsword.

The sword tip emitted a faint aura as it moved to the left side of the waist, poised to be drawn.

Immediately, the air around the sword blurred, as if there was an invisible scabbard. The sword light burst forth and suddenly came out of the scabbard!
"Zheng!"

A huge crack appeared in the air, extending all the way up to the waterfall.

The waterfall, hundreds of meters long, suddenly stopped flowing, leaving a deep sword mark on the mountainside, spanning most of the mountain.

【King of Verbal Power】: "Sheathless Sword Drawing Technique," a martial art created by Mu Yaoguang. While named a "technique," its true strength lies in its "method." It uses true qi to create an invisible force field that envelops the longsword, acting as a sheath to firmly bind the sword's energy and momentum within the force field. When the sword is drawn, the bound force field shifts and explodes, amplifying the sword's power. In reality, while the sword drawing technique itself is profound, it's not particularly valuable. What's truly precious is the method of creating and manipulating the force field.

[Roar of the Evil Dragon]: That longsword formed from particles is the Tai Su Wan Xiang Armor.

[King of Talk]: That's right, that's the Tai Su Wan Xiang Armor specially made for Yao Guang after she won the World Youth Martial Arts Tournament. This equipment is composed of countless nano-units and can change according to the owner's will, transforming into swords, spears, halberds, and even modern high-tech firearms.

[Dragon's Roar]: Uh... I feel like this futuristic style doesn't quite match the senior student.

【Excellent, excellent】: Times have changed, young people.

[Want to be Yao Guang's dog]: Whether it's futuristic or traditional Chinese style, as long as I can be Yao Guang's dog, I'm fine with it.

Me too: Me too.

Then the discussion started to go off-topic.

After posting this message, the "Mouth King" did not participate in the increasingly skewed discussion, but instead sent Bai Ze a private message.

[King of Verbal Warriors]: I told you, it's true. So, how about it, are you itching to show off your skills?

[Night Rain Sounds]: I'm very impulsive, but unfortunately, it's too difficult to get shortlisted. I've only recently become a martial artist and don't have that much strength yet.

It was followed by a "newbie trembling with fear" emoji.

[King of Verbal Confidence]: So lacking in confidence?
[Night Rain's Annoying Sound]: I only practiced the three martial arts you recommended. Even if I can pass the preliminary rounds, I'm afraid I'll still get hacked to death on the stage later. [Sighs helplessly]
This competition is held on the StarNet, so participants don't need to travel from all over the country to a certain place; they only need to log in to the StarNet through their local martial arts association.

One advantage of holding events on the StarNet is that there is no need to worry about injury or disability.

Even if someone dies on the spot, they can be resurrected just like the people of the Bitter Realm. Of course, some emotional trauma is unavoidable.

Under these conditions, contestants can fully showcase their strengths without holding back; they can use any weapon, from swords and spears to spears.

As for Bai Ze, with his current level of knowledge, it would be difficult for him to gain an advantage when facing weapons.

His combat experience was actually not very rich. In his previous fight with Wu Jincheng, he relied entirely on the assistance of his words becoming law.

The StarNet tournament is watched by countless people. At most, Bai Ze can use his words to buff himself. If he tries to interfere with his opponent, it is very likely that people will see through his scheme.

In terms of martial arts, although Bai Ze has practiced the "Wind and Dew Drinking Skill", he is still not unmatched.

"The Art of Consuming Wind and Drinking Dew" is already considered to have won at the starting line, but some people win directly from the womb.

Even before birth, they are constantly nourished by their mother's true energy. After birth, they are constantly nourished by vital energy, and even if they cannot absorb it, their physique is still stronger than others.

After that, there are various divine skills and unique techniques that ordinary people cannot access, and the best resources are available for selection.

Bai Ze really didn't think he could catch up with such a guy right now; he hadn't had enough time to develop.

With no advantage in combat experience, no martial arts skills that surpass everyone else, and limitations on the power of words, the chances of winning the championship are naturally slim.

Unless the organizers are willing to lift the restrictions and allow participants to use firearms...

"firearms?"

Bai Ze's eyes flickered, and then he sent a message to the "Mouth King".

【Night Rain Sounds】: Brother Zuiqiang, do you have any suitable hidden weapon techniques to recommend? Difficulty doesn't matter, as long as they are strong enough.

[King of Mouth]: Yes, rpg.JPG, the most widely used hidden weapon in modern times.

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: You might as well use E=mc^2. [Annoyed]
E=mc^2, the mass-energy equivalence equation, also known as the "death equation," is the basis for the development of the world's most nuclear weapons.

If Bai Ze were to come into contact with this, it could truly become a top-tier concealed weapon.

The words are law; once spoken, they are transmitted directly without needing a password.

[King of Mouth]: Haha, no joke. You're trying to make up for your lack of skill in weapon fighting with hidden weapons, right? Actually, there's another option: you could also learn a weapon fighting technique.

Should I practice too?
Bai Ze frowned in thought.

As the saying goes, "The law follows the words," meaning he can quickly master the use of a weapon, but the sword and saber techniques he acquires are not as good as those passed down in some people's families.

Bai Ze chose hidden weapons because he wanted to utilize their range and stealth.

He can also unleash a burst of energy called "Qi Guan Chang Hong," moving rapidly while simultaneously launching hidden weapons—both fast and accurate.

The Sunflower Manual plus Little Li's Flying Dagger—are you scared yet?

Before Bai Ze could even ask a question, the "King of Mouths" immediately replied.

[King of Verbal Strength]: There's a sword technique that, regardless of skill level, can potentially decide victory in a single strike—that's the Sword Drawing Technique. It involves building up momentum and then unleashing a devastating blow. Furthermore, your cultivation of "Purple Qi from the East" involves breathing exercises, and while the Sword Drawing Technique seems to focus on the sword itself, breathing techniques are also crucial. Yao Guang's ability to practice the Sword Drawing Technique stems from her mastery of "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew," allowing her to unleash the fastest and most lethal sword strike with her innate embryonic breathing state and immense internal energy.

[King of Verbal Criticism]: Besides, even though the chances are slim, if you win the championship and get the "Sheathless Sword Drawing Technique," you'll still have to practice drawing your sword, won't you? [Grinning]
At the end of the message, the "King of Mouth" also pushed a martial arts link.
