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

Chapter 53 Water Moon Mirror Sky
Bai Ze logged off at 8 PM.

He got up from the virtual pod, habitually turned on his phone, and continued browsing the forum while pacing back and forth.

While enjoying the physical activity, Bai Ze also noticed that the silly netizens on the forum had come up with a new topic.

【Roar of the Evil Dragon】: I would call Jiang Xun the Master of Fu Rui. He really likes Fu Rui. He even looks for like-minded people when he plays matches.

[Fist to Fist]: Jiang Xun's talent for imitative boxing is really strong, but it's a pity he's a Fu Rui fanatic.

[Fist Master]: Hey buddy, shouldn't we be discussing the humiliation of the Night Rain? How did the topic veer towards Jiang Xun? Have you forgotten the shame brought by the Night Rain?
[Fist to the Heart]: That bastard has been hiding like a coward, he hasn't shown his face yet, and he doesn't reply to my messages, what can I do? However, I still remember the grudge I owe him for his sharp tongue. Judging from the current competition, Night Rain's Voice is either so badly defeated that he didn't qualify, or he's still hiding his identity.

[Fist to Fist]: Based on my years of experience and keen observation, although there are many swordsmen in this competition, few share the same style as Ye Yushengfan. Currently, two people are the main suspects: Bai Ze from Canghai City and Luo Shui, also from Canghai City.

The comment, which was quite visceral, was followed by two pictures, one of a man and one of a woman. The man was, of course, the celestial being Bai Ze, and the woman was also quite beautiful.

With delicate features, a slender figure, and a long, high ponytail, she exudes youthful energy.

【亭亭净植】：Impossible, absolutely impossible! That bitch Ye Yushengfan could never be that good-looking!
[Fist to the Heart]: You've all witnessed Bai Ze's verbal skills; Kim Jung-jae was completely broken down by just a few words. As for Luo Shui, according to my personal research, her frivolous appearance is quite similar to Ye Yu Sheng Fan's, and the key point is that she also uses a sword.

【The virginity training has ruined me】: I know Luo Shui. He's a top student at Canghai No. 1 High School and a genius.

Bai Ze's expression changed upon seeing this, because "Boyhood Skill" was Zhong Jing's online name.

Old Zhong is really something else. Not only does he provide financial assistance to Bai Ze in real life, but he also goes online to cover for Bai Ze.

However, his cover did not seem to be very effective.

[Dreaming of dragons and clouds at night]: It's also possible that Bai Ze is hiding his strength. According to information I obtained from the advertising department of Yuqing Heavy Industry, Xi Yuheng has already met with Bai Ze and believes that he is very likely the genius of Canghai City that circulated online a month ago.

[Fist Master]: There are hidden talents among the netizens! They even managed to find out internal information about Yuqing Heavy Industry. If that's the case, Bai Ze might be hiding his strength. The chances of him being Ye Yushengfan are also quite high.

【Excellent, excellent】: If that's the case, then this old monk has something to say. Tomorrow's schedule has been released. Tomorrow, Bai Ze will face Tan Shuyan from Shuiyue Temple. Before "Water Moon Mirror Sky," he can't hide it anymore.

[Fist to the Heart]: Brilliant! The "Water Moon Mirror Heaven" technique of Shuiyue Zen Temple is connected to the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom of Buddhism. This technique emphasizes "water reflecting all phenomena without retaining them, the moon illuminating the universe without leaving a trace," not only enabling one to anticipate the enemy's moves but also to achieve a state of tranquility. She can be said to be the nemesis of the annoying sounds of night rain.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze also went to the Wushu Association's official website homepage to check the competition schedule. Sure enough, his opponent was Tan Shuyan.

"This is troublesome," Bai Ze murmured.

The most advanced Buddhist practices are collectively known as the "Three Bodies and Four Wisdoms," with the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom being one of the Four Wisdoms.

This wisdom clearly perceives all phenomena of the three times, possessing perfect virtues and lacking nothing, just as a great round mirror can reflect all forms and images. Simply put, it is able to see through all dharma and discern all illusions and realities.

While it remains to be seen whether it can truly see through everything, the power of the Great Perfection Mirror Wisdom is undeniable.

As one of the Buddhist sects, Shuiyue Temple inherits the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom method. The "Shuiyue Mirror Heaven" practiced within the sect is an extension of the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom, inheriting its characteristics and serving as a prerequisite practice.

Once this skill is mastered, a calm and tranquil mind becomes the foundation. One is not afraid of trash talk and can even reflect one's appearance. It can be said to be extremely effective against a martial art like the sword-drawing technique, which is a one-hit kill.

"It's tricky."

While thinking of a solution, Bai Ze sent a private message to the "Mouth King".

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: Coach, I'm up against Tan Shuyan from Shuiyue Temple. May I ask what good strategies you have?

A few minutes later.

[The King of Verbal Struggle]: Either win by force and crush her, or break Tan Shuyan's composure. My personal suggestion is to use your stunning good looks to your advantage and seduce her.

[Night Rain Sounds Annoying]: Don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve?
[King of Verbal Strength]: Yes, but not conventionally. If you were an Awakened One with spiritual talent, you could also interfere with Tan Shuyan's state of mind... Yes, an Awakened One. Brother Yeyu, you've improved to this level in just one month by activating your inner energy; you must also be an Awakened One, right? Upon seeing this message, Bai Ze immediately became alert.

Although I'm quite familiar with the "King of Mouths," I still need to be wary of this kind of thing.

【Night Rain Sounds Annoying】: No. I just have superhuman strength.

[King of Verbal Confidence]: Guess if I believe you? [Tch]
[King of Verbal Struggle]: There are only a few paths to victory. Don't try to win by using a variety of moves; I'm afraid the scene will be too gruesome. I suggest you find a way to make her fight you in terms of skill. With the pure internal energy of "Purple Qi Comes from the East," you should have a good chance of winning.

'A battle of skill?'

Bai Ze sensed the energy around him.

A month of continuous breathing exercises and the consumption of Cloud Light Stone Flowing Elixir have led to significant improvements in Bai Ze's internal energy and physique.

Especially his internal energy, because it is made by refining primordial energy, makes Bai Ze's internal energy extremely pure, which can be described as a super low-end version of true energy.

If it comes down to a contest of internal energy, there is indeed a chance of winning.

'Or perhaps, we could start with mental strength?' Bai Ze thought of his own mental strength, which was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

He had previously thought of using his physical martial arts talent to cover up the fact that his words could become law, but after logging into the Star Network, Bai Ze felt that this idea might not work.

StarNet scans the body, and if someone has a special physical talent, it's hard to hide it from StarNet.

However, it's easier to work on the mental aspect.

Moreover, Bai Ze has lived two lives, so his mental strength is quite powerful, which can explain why he learned martial arts so quickly.

If that's the case...

Bai Ze's eyes gradually brightened; he had an idea.

······
······
Time comes the next day.

At 10 a.m., a message came from StarNet.

[Contestant Bai Ze, you will be participating in the elimination round at 10:30 AM against contestant Tan Shuyan. You may enter the No. 1 arena space ten minutes in advance to prepare.]

'Ring number one, looks like my match this round is going to be pretty impressive.'

Bai Ze, who was resting with his eyes closed in his private space, opened his eyes and thought after seeing the message.

Essentially, there is no difference between ring number one and ring number ten. The audience can see each other simply by switching spaces, so there is no advantage in position.

However, people often subconsciously focus on the first "one," believing that "one" has more value.

StarNet is also following this idea of ​​the audience and will arrange more exciting events on Arena 1.

The fact that Bai Ze could even reach the number one arena in this match against Tan Shuyan speaks volumes about its prestige. Although, judging from the current situation, the majority of the significance lies with Tan Shuyan…

According to StarNet's data assessment, Tan Shuyan's strength should be above Bai Ze's.

But in reality... well, we'll have to wait and see.
