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

Chapter 81 He doesn't even have the strength to hit someone, yet he calls himself a martial artist.

"I think I heard someone say I'm handsome."

A handsome young man pushed open the door and entered.

Bai Ze, dressed in a black tracksuit and carrying the sheathed Xiaolian sword, walked straight to the empty sofa, sat down, and then leisurely looked at the others.

Two men and one woman, each with their own unique characteristics.

One of the men sat alone on the sofa on the left, his height exceeding that of an average person standing, resembling a small giant. His skin was brownish-yellow, but judging from his facial features, he was clearly not of Asian descent.

He's said to be a martial artist from Japan, but he's actually probably from the Western Union.

There were no signs of new martial arts modifications on his appearance, but judging from his physique and slightly pointed head, Bai Ze could still tell that he possessed a lot of advanced technology.

The Western Alliance people are different from the Eastern Xia people. Even if they cultivate True Martial Arts, they do not pursue any artistic conception or enlightenment. Instead, they rush along the path of numerical values.

The most typical example is that when they reach the second-star level, Westerners will rapidly enhance their physique by injecting various injections, or simply implant corresponding armor or mechanical bodies to enhance their strength.

One of the characteristics of the acupuncturist is that it has a large body and a somewhat pointed head.

On the sofa opposite Bai Ze was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a long black trench coat, had handsome features, and medium-length black hair. He did not show any signs of being from the Western Union, but his specific nationality was uncertain.

Behind him stood a black-haired woman, dressed in black, expressionless, like a servant, standing behind the sofa.

"It seems that you friends from the Western Alliance are talking about me?" Bai Ze said with a light laugh, placing his sword horizontally across his lap.

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, both the young man and the woman behind him showed slight changes in their expressions.

It seems they must be from Japan.

In terms of relations between the two countries, Western Union is like the father of Japan, and in reality, the relationship is indeed like that of father and son. However, the people of Japan would not agree to Japan merging into Western Union.

Moreover, in Japan, the Westerners are considered superior, and there are considerable conflicts between them and the Japanese.

"Excuse me, Lord Hakutaku. My name is Kujo Kenshin, and the person behind me is Konoe Chizuru, neither of us are from the Western Alliance. My friend beside me is named Dolph Bradley, and he is from the Western Alliance."

Kujo Kenshin introduced the situation in a very formal tone, saying, "We were just discussing how Lord Bai Ze won first place in the Youth Cup in Dongxia. Daofu had some doubts about Lord Bai Ze's strength. There's an old saying in Dongxia: 'Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.' Daofu believes that all strengths must be tested to know their true nature."

"Why say so much? Let's try and see if he can do it or not."

The little giant-like Dolph let out an impatient sound and suddenly stood up from the sofa.

He looked clumsy, but he was incredibly fast. His large, fan-like hand, accompanied by a fierce wind, landed directly on Bai Ze's shoulder.

"Heh, so this is all you've got, being the number one in Dongxia. I'm also a two-star martial artist, and you can't even react in time."

Dolph said smugly, "Now I can crush your shoulder with just a light pinch."

That being said, Dolph's palm remained poised and ready to strike.

He may look rough and unruly, but judging from his fluent Dongxia language, you can tell he's not as arrogant as he seems.

Whether it was the provocative words spoken in the past or the reckless actions taken now, the purpose was nothing more than to test Bai Ze's strength.

Both Yingguo and Xilian seem to care quite a bit about this second Mu Yaoguang.

Only after testing Bai Ze's strength did Daofu reveal a smug expression.

Despite having his shoulder pressed down, Bai Ze remained unfazed, even raising his right hand slightly to signal Lu Zhiping behind him not to rush.

He looked at Dolph and said calmly, "Really? I don't believe it."

The casual remark clearly provoked Dolph, whose face darkened as he prepared to unleash his power and teach Bai Ze a lesson.

However, Dolph felt as if his strength had vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace. Even though he had pressed down on Bai Ze's shoulder, it was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, and he could never truly touch Bai Ze.

His expression changed from gloomy to solemn, and the veins on Dolph's thick arms bulged, but he still saw no effect. "Push harder."

Bai Ze said calmly, "It's one thing that Yingguo can't afford rice, but can't Xilian feed its people properly either?"

These words had an outstanding effect.

Dolph's neck veins bulged, and his arms stretched his sleeves so wide they were bulging, as if he was determined to teach Bai Ze a lesson.

however--

"Push harder," Bai Ze said calmly.

Dolph continued to exert himself.

"Exercise."

Upon hearing the light, casual words, Dolph suddenly withdrew his hand and clenched his fist, aiming a blow at Bai Ze's face.

Since we can't catch you, we'll force you to run away.

boom!
The air was pushed aside by the fist, producing a dull sound and a burst of wind that spread outwards.

Kujo Kenshin couldn't help but stand up and reach out to tell Michio to stop, but it was clearly too late.

But Bai Ze remained unmoved.

The punch landed on Bai Ze's face, the force of the punch suddenly dissipated, and a burst of heat surged out.

Large patches of iridescent color appeared on Bai Ze's face, like a mask blocking the fist. All the fist's force disappeared upon touching this layer of color, leaving only a gust of hot air.

"He doesn't even have the strength to hit someone, yet he calls himself a martial artist."

Bai Ze chuckled softly, "But since you've made a move, let's return the favor with a punch of my own."

With his right fist clenched, his internal energy surged, and as his fist thrust out, the force exploded like a cannonball.

"Iron cannons shake Kunlun."

The punch, delivered in a cone shape, slammed into Dolph's chest, sending the giant-like body flying backward. He smashed the sofa on his left, then slid across the floor and crashed into the wall.

Bai Ze stood up, gripped his longsword, looked at Kujo Kenshin, and said, "Now, are there still any doubts?"

As Kujo Kenshin watched the layer of armor slowly dissipate from Bai Ze's face, he was deeply shocked.

He channeled his internal energy and easily blocked the Dao Fu's punch; such skill...

The Western Alliance's excessive pursuit of power makes it difficult for them to comprehend the essence of martial arts. However, in the early stages, it must be admitted that the Western Alliance, in terms of pure strength, is superior to martial artists of the same level.

That punch was worth at least several million Western Union dollars; every bit of its power was the result of massive spending. Yet, it was blocked just like that.

Kujo Kenshin took a deep breath and said, "Eastern Xia is number one, truly deserving of the title."

His attitude has quietly improved considerably compared to before.

While it was valued before, it was nowhere near as important as it is now.

"Since there are no more questions, please compile a detailed report on this smuggling investigation and give it to me. As the guide dispatched by the Martial Arts Association, I have an obligation to ensure the safety of our guests. It would be terrible if anything unexpected happened."

Bai Ze looked at Kujo Kenshin with a smile and said.

"Isn't it unnecessary to be so formal?" Kujo Kaneshin wanted to politely decline.

Bai Ze smiled as before and reminded him, "Mr. Kujo, this is Dongxia."
