Red Fox was like a poor student who had been questioned by a teacher. He was tongue-tied and did not know what to do.
Ouyang Chen entered a strict teacher state. The cold and clear gaze behind the lenses caused Red Fox's taut nerves to tremble. At this time, the second question was raised.
"What is the logic of the inner world?"
Red Fox opened his mouth but did not say anything. Actually, he had already spoken the thoughts in his mind when he was reprimanding Luo Nan. What difference could there be? It was all about politics, reality, compromise...
But it was quite difficult to say these words in front of Ouyang Chen.
Ouyang Chen did not expect Red Fox to respond. He simply gave his answer. "The logic of the inner world is determined by destructive power. The destructive power range of extraordinary power determines the boundaries of the inner world's logic. "
Red Fox was dumbfounded but he had no way to refute.
"Compared to ordinary people, the number of ability users is very small. But our destructive power is very strong. We form associations, orders, and organizations. We project our organizations to various parts of the world, allowing our destructive power to cover the entire world. As long as we want to, we can directly affect the life and death of every person. Secular society has been warped by us in this way. In the end, this is a kind of bandit logic. "
"Uh, President..." Red Fox became a patient with a communication disorder. He did not know how to express his opinion at all.
Ouyang Chen curled his lips. "Let's change it to a nicer sounding term. We can call it the logic of the strong. This is because the most powerful destructive power is built upon the foundation of the self-logic of the strong. "
"The reality of the situation is that there is no strong destructive power that can cover the entire world. In the end, there is a limit. Therefore, the inner world revolves around the strong, forming radiation circles of all sizes. The normal mode of interaction in the inner world is born from the collisions, compromises, and exchanges between the circles of the strong. "
"In the logic of the inner world, the strong are the foundation. Other conflicts, compromises, and politics are just expressions. Then the question is, what is strong? "
Red Fox's brain finally began to spin when faced with the third question. At this time, Ouyang Chen pointed to the top floors of the three buildings. "Three First Oblatums working together can completely collapse a skyscraper regardless of the cost. Are they strong?"
Red Fox answered cautiously.

That depends on who you compare yourself to. "
"Excellent!"
"Huh?" The Red Fox still remembered that this was the first time Ouyang Chen had acknowledged him since they met. However, what did the president acknowledge?
Ouyang Chen adjusted the frame of his glasses, but his gaze was unprecedentedly cold. "You finally know that 'strength' is determined by comparison. I can add a few more sentences. 'Strength' is achieved through resistance, through real achievements. So, where is your resistance? "
The Red Fox's heart twitched fiercely. He was stunned on the spot.
Against … against whom?
The scattered memories gathered together like a cluster of clouds. Red Fox vaguely remembered the time when he first came to Xia City. Now that he thought about it, it was really strange. After suffering such a painful lesson, why would he continue to reside in this damned association?
Yes, it was because of the association's resources and benefits. It was because he needed to train hard and improve quickly so that he could return to Hu City and settle his grudges. But day after day, year after year, how could he forget? When and for what reason did he forget? He seemed to have forgotten as well …
Was it because his talent was limited and he could not make any progress? Was it because of the passage of time and the healing of the heartache?
No. In the final analysis, it was just as He Yueyin said. His' self-logic 'had been distorted by the logic he hated the most in the past. Wasn't the word 'collapsed' the most habitual tone of that bunch of trash from Headquarters?
"Distorted?" Red Fox extended his hands. He looked at the structure of his body, which had slowly changed over the years, but he felt that it was very unfamiliar.
Ouyang Chen's voice entered his ears. "Don't get distracted. Let's continue to discuss' strength '… Oh, I mean to discuss why you are' stupid '."
The turmoil in Red Fox's mind was interrupted. His melancholy lessened slightly, but his thoughts became even more chaotic. He raised his head in a daze and looked at the president who had just given him a severe warning.
"Resistance or comparison is fine. We need to give an example. Tell me. Who is the strongest here? "
"Of course it's you, President …" Red Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he answered without the slightest hesitation.
Ouyang Chen was currently the only officially registered Extraordinary in the Xia City branch. He was a super powerful being who stood at the top of the pyramid of humanity. Even though the Order of Justice's Secretbound First Oblatum, An Weng, was a powerful being who could make people pale at the mention of his name, he was far from being mentioned in the same breath as Ouyang Chen.

。
If Ouyang Chen completely disregarded the various restraints between Extraordinaries and hardened his heart to make a move, the three First Oblatums of the secular side would either have to risk their lives to summon their holy relic or they would immediately kneel and beg Fairchild to switch sides and help them. Aside from these two options, there was no third way to resist.
Ouyang Chen did not hold back. He nodded in approval. "And then … Just talk about our side."
"The secretary, right?" Red Fox's response was relatively quick.
Ouyang Chen declined to comment. "And then?"
Red Fox slowly pondered and answered, "And then me, Yingying, Kitten, Papercut, Bamboo Pole … I'm not familiar with Bai Xinyan."
Ouyang Chen laughed. He did not make any movements, but a detailed perspective map of a building appeared in front of the two. It was none other than Frost River Reality. Several figures were projected inside. They were He Yueyin and the other members of the Society. Although they were small in size, they were vivid and lifelike.
"What about him?" Ouyang Chen pointed at the child that Red Fox had intentionally or unintentionally skipped over — Luo Nan.
Red Fox sneered, "Him? He's not even an Awakened. "
"Yeah, he's still not an Awakened."
Ouyang Chen nodded but then he sighed. He recited in a low voice, "The common people are bright, I alone am muddled. The common people examine, I alone am muddled."
Red Fox's attainments in ancient texts were shallow. He was dizzy from listening to Ouyang Chen. He could only raise his hands in surrender. "President …"
Ouyang Chen did not intend to make things difficult for Red Fox. He laughed and said, "I'm not a specialist in reading scriptures. From my personal understanding, the meaning of these words is: Everyone's energy is limited. When a person establishes a higher level of logic, it will be hard for him to divert his attention to deal with the chaotic logic of the common people. And when he forms a higher level of logic, the logic of the common people will be meaningless to him. Therefore, the intelligent people of the common people will always be able to see his muddle-headedness and childishness.
"The further the logic of the common people is from the logic of the higher level, the more intense the contrast becomes. After reaching a certain level, they will no longer be able to communicate. They will run in opposite directions. This is why it is said: The path of understanding is like obscurity. The path of advancing is like retreating. The path of barbarians is like the path of barbarians. "
Ouyang Chen gazed at the small and exquisite projection. His gaze was deep and distant. "A higher level, an even stronger confrontation. If we use the image of the common people to see and evaluate his actions, how would we know the hardships within? Besides, he is still a novice … Everything must be accumulated from the beginning. "
