From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Even if we're not confident, we have to give it a try. This concerns the Feng family's ability to control spirits and generals, so we can't be careless." Feng Xingtong said confidently, but deep down he wasn't very sure.

First of all.

Wang Bing was older than him, had been cultivating for a longer time, and had a higher level of spiritual cultivation.

Although cultivation of life force is only a basic part of strength, as long as one does not reach the level of an old celestial master, the gap between them will not be too large. Victory or defeat depends on personal combat experience and the restraint of abilities. However, Wang Bing's fighting style is extremely brutal and wild. In terms of momentum, Feng Xingtong is naturally inferior to his opponent.

Second.

Wang Bing's method of summoning spirits and generals seems to differ from that of the Feng family.

At least the Feng family's Spirit Binding and Commanding technique doesn't have a method that involves consuming spirits to enhance one's Qi!

At last.

Even third-party factors, such as his father compromising with Wang Ai, might force him to admit defeat.

of course.

The probability of this is extremely low.

After all, the siblings had promised Deng Youfu that they would admit defeat directly, which meant that the relationship between the Tianxia Society and the Northeast Shamans was completely strained.

"Brother, don't rush."

Feng Shayan glanced at Jiang Liu and said, "Brother Jiang came to see us, perhaps to give you some pointers."

"It's not really a suggestion, just a piece of advice."

Jiang Liu didn't keep them in suspense, "You two siblings, the younger brother should concede and the older sister should advance to face Wang Bing. Perhaps there's a chance of victory for her."

"How to say?"

Feng Xingtong was puzzled.

"Both you and Wang Bing know how to control spirits. Aside from the fact that you don't know how to subdue spirits, the other party's life cultivation is stronger than yours, and his ability to control spirits is also superior to yours. Let alone taking Liu Kunsheng back from him, it will be difficult for him to prevent you from taking away the spirit you possess."

Jiang Liu stated a fact: "On the contrary, your sister Sha Yan is different."

Given Liu Kunsheng's immense size, it's impossible for Wang to devour him in a short time. Moreover, since it involves shamanic practices from Northeast China, Wang Ai would likely advise Wang Bing to use it as leverage in his dealings with Guan Shihua.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that his strength will increase too much in a short period of time.

I've also seen his fighting style. Although it's wild, it doesn't have much skill. It's not much different from just randomly attacking. All you need to do is keep your distance from him and prevent him from devouring other spirits.

As for the Wang family's divine coating—

If you see him take out a pen or something similar from his pocket, just knock it to his face or snatch it away.

"But my sister doesn't know how to summon spirits."

Feng Xingtong asked in confusion, "How will we separate Liu Kunsheng from him then?"

"Didn't Wang Bing give you a demonstration today?"

Jiang Liu held up one finger. "Just one word: Fight! If he wants to admit defeat, interrupt him before he opens his mouth, and keep fighting until he releases Liu Kunsheng. Otherwise, beat him to death!"

"good idea!"

Feng Shayan was inherently rebellious, and if he were to admit defeat to Feng Xingtong later, he would definitely be dissatisfied. However, he was forced to compromise for the sake of the overall situation and to maximize the interests of the World Society.

Now that Jiang Liu has offered another way to take Liu Kunsheng from Wang Bing, how could she let it go?

Not to mention.

She also disliked that Wang Bing quite a bit!

But all of this cannot be accomplished simply by Jiang Liu's suggestion—

"Sha Yan, you'd better admit defeat to your brother later."

After a private conversation with Wang Ai, Feng Zhenghao found the siblings Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong and said, "In tomorrow's semi-final match, Xingtong, you just need to play against Wang. Just pretend to be miserable."

"No, Dad, isn't this a bit...?"

Feng Xingtong's eyes widened.

Feng Shayan was even more puzzled and retorted, "Before the opponent uses Spirit Binding and Divine Paint, I can beat him so badly that he can't take care of himself! Father, is there any need to make Xing Tong throw the match?"

"This is an order, there is no room for discussion."

Feng Zhenghao spoke in a deep voice, but felt he could reveal some information, saying, "The Wang family's situation is more complicated than you imagine, and I have no choice but to compromise."

Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.

To deal with the Wang family, we must proceed gradually.

Upon hearing this...

Whether it's Feng Xingtong or Feng Shayan, no matter how unwilling they are, they have to give up this choice.

"Tsk!"

In the distance, Jiang Liu heard Feng Zhenghao's words and chuckled, "A truly shrewd strategist never starts by compromising."

Feng Zhenghao's plan was nothing more than outwardly compromising with the Wang family while secretly plotting to first further embolden Wang Bing, and then find an opportunity in the future to plant a seed of incompetence in him, thus leading him down a path of continuous mistakes...

how to say?

They followed the so-called "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years" approach.

In reality, Confucian gentlemen are patient but not compromising, as are Taoist sages and Buddhist Buddhas.

If one wants revenge, one will never plan for too long, whether it's strategy or tactics.

In short, I use whatever is effective and quick, and I will never compromise my own needs.

The reason is simple.

Because gentlemen, true men, and Buddhas all have their own pursuits and cultivation, they have no time to waste on racking their brains and engaging in too many meaningless schemes with others.

knowledge!

The Great Way!

Legal principles!

These are the things that those who cultivate themselves to the level of sainthood pursue, not these petty and despicable schemes.

What are you plotting?

Zhang Zhiwei walked to Jiang Liu's side and looked in the direction of Feng Zhenghao, Feng Shayan, Feng Xingtong and others.

"Scheme? You're overthinking it. What could I possibly get from the Feng family? Spirit control and command?"

Jiang Liu retorted, "I don't care about that stuff. It was just a suggestion given to Feng Shayan. Whether she listens or not, whether she dares to defy her father, is her own choice."

"You're not much different from Wugensheng, always stirring up trouble."

The old Celestial Master commented, "He just didn't join the Quanxing Sect."

Do you really think the world is at peace now?

Jiang Liu ignored the old Celestial Master's teasing and asked in return, "From the attitude of the All-Union Sect towards Quanxing, I can tell that they are completely different from the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

Their strategy was essentially to slowly boil the frog in water, avoiding a proactive crackdown on the petty thieves and wicked villains of the Quanxing sect, and instead resorting to imperial tactics—

To borrow a phrase from Master Lu, do you want to slowly perish in silence, or erupt at the last moment and put on a dazzling fireworks display for the world?

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

# Chapter 590 The Unyielding Celestial Master

"Isn't that an exaggeration?"

The old master was slightly speechless.

"It's just stating a possibility."

Jiang Liu nudged the old master on the shoulder, changing the subject, and pointed to Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye in the arena, asking, "Who do you think will win?"

"Xiao Wang too."

Having learned that Wang Ye had mastered the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, even if he hadn't truly entered the field, Zhang Zhiwei was certain that Wang Ye at this moment was someone that Zhuge Qing in his current state could not handle.

What's more, last night she was so bold as to go to his bedroom.

You're quite capable!

"I also think it's Wang Ye."

Jiang Liu chuckled.

Although the Eight Extraordinary Skills are techniques for creating chaos, each of them surpasses most other skills by a significant margin.

Zhuge Liang was indeed a genius, who created the Wuhou Qimen (a unique martial arts technique).

Jiang Liu also knew that in the history of "Under One Man", Zhuge Liang had even created the Eight Trigrams Formation!

By using generals and soldiers as the basis of morale and the battlefield as the overall situation, a unique battle formation can be constructed. The movement of generals and soldiers can shift the morale of the entire battlefield, causing the enemy to be in an unfavorable position while we are in a favorable one, thus achieving a great victory.

But man proposes, God disposes.

Not to mention that people are the "qi" of the Qimen formation, and their beliefs differ. Once they suffer losses, the Eight Trigrams Formation becomes just a theory and is difficult to reproduce.

This may be the fundamental reason why the Eight Trigrams Formation was lost.

Even the generals and soldiers of ancient times, including those of the Shu Kingdom, did not possess the same conviction as soldiers today.

The calculations of Feng Hou Qi Men are not based on heaven and earth, but on the human body. It relies on one's own perception of the universe and adjusts one's own state according to the changes of the four seasons and six qi.

But it's a pity—

Wang was a Taoist who entered the profession later in life. He only went to Wudang Mountain after graduating from university, so he probably didn't understand the true concept of "fire control". Otherwise, he should have discovered how to proceed on his future path of cultivation.

of course.

Jiang Liu guessed that Wang Ye had been too lazy while practicing Tai Chi. His master, Yunlong, was disappointed in him for his lack of effort despite his good aptitude, so he didn't say much more...

···

In the field.

Panting, Zhuge Qing looked like he'd seen a ghost and asked Wang Ye, "What kind of strange technique is that? Why can't I see it?"
