A few days later, in a certain underground room, it was simple and unadorned. There were only a table, a chair, and rows of bookshelves leaning against the wall with all sorts of books stacked on top.
This was where Bai Shixin's study was located. Other than him, Elder Ancestor Bai had his hands behind his back, and a young man stood behind him.
The atmosphere was heavy, and none of them spoke a word.
Elder Ancestor Bai's face was gloomy, while Bai Shixin's expression was complicated. Only the young man's eyes darted around occasionally, a hint of intelligence flashing across his eyes.
After a long while, Elder Ancestor Bai finally spoke, "Someone just sent news that Vigilante A had just participated in the Dark Tournament's ranking tournament, and in his first match, he crushed N 'gun Demon Turtle's body and soul into pieces. Even Anderson couldn't do that … Shixin, what do you think?"
Bai Shixin covered his mouth and coughed a few times, but Elder Ancestor Bai did not console him like he usually did.
He finally caught his breath and said with some difficulty, "I've just seen the battle video they sent, and after analyzing it carefully, N 'gun self-destructed without a doubt. However, I can't tell if he was forced to self-destruct by Vigilante A's powerful sword skill, or if he self-destructed to kill Vigilante A. "
Elder Ancestor Bai was displeased, "That's all you can tell?"
Bai Shixin lowered his head slightly, "After Vigilante A and Anderson's spiritual battle, not only did he not sustain any serious injuries, but he also improved greatly. My previous judgment was completely wrong."
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "That's not all of your mistakes, continue …"
His voice became stern.
Bai Shixin lowered his voice, "I'm guessing that Vigilante A has some sort of ability that increases his strength after a big battle, just like those who cultivate murderous aura and death aura. The more they fight, the stronger they become. That's why after every big battle, his strength would suddenly increase by a level."
Elder Ancestor Bai's tone softened, "If you can tell this, then I won't remove you from your position as the clan's first military advisor. Your previous misjudgment had a huge impact, and almost made me lose confidence in you. Now, tell me, how should we deal with Vigilante A, who gets stronger the more he fights? "
Bai Shixin had been thinking about this problem ever since he watched the video of Vigilante A defeating N 'gun, and he already had a draft in his mind.
Upon hearing the Patriarch's question, he immediately said, "Although I made a mistake in my judgment last time, my suggestion for dealing with him is not much different from the last time. Observe his movements, and put him aside if it has nothing to do with me."
Elder Ancestor Bai's face showed a hint of surprise. "Huh, if you said 'killing with a borrowed knife', 'using softness to overcome hardness', or even 'turning enemies into friends', I wouldn't be surprised. I didn't expect you to accept your failure so calmly, without holding on to your hatred, and still be able to see the pros and cons of both sides. It seems that although you have lost all your power, your temperament has improved greatly. "
Only then did Bai Shixin feel relieved. It seemed like his answer was to the Elder Ancestor's liking.
He quickly said, "You flatter me, Elder Ancestor. Vigilante A is a lone wolf, and he's very strong. We have a clan as our foundation, and if we continue to fight him now, we'll only lose more than we gain. As Elder Ancestor has emphasized many times, we need to focus on strengthening our foundation. As long as we focus on our development, once our clan prospers, he won't be able to fight us alone in the future.
"Moreover, we've recently discovered an obvious characteristic of this realm. When the vitality concentration reaches a new level, an individual's martial strength can only break through the upper limit. Even if he can get stronger as he fights, he'll hit a bottleneck early on, and he won't be able to advance. "
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "Mm, from now on, anything related to Vigilante A that has nothing to do with us, we'll ignore it and focus on ourselves. If we're strong enough, we'll be able to suppress others."
Bai Shixin quickly nodded in agreement.
After Elder Ancestor Bai said this, he pointed at the young man and said, "This one is called Nie Yuan, he's the smartest one I've picked out from the younger generation of the Greater Rat Demon Clan. Now, I'll hand him over to you. I hope that you'll continue to uphold justice and teach him your wisdom and skills. One man's plan is short, but two men's plan is long. Our clan can only truly prosper if we have many talented people. "
Bai Shixin heard this and looked at the young Greater Rat Demon. When he saw Bai Shixin looking at him, he quickly retracted his intelligent gaze and nodded at him to please him.
Bai Shixin felt annoyed when he saw this. He liked smart people, but he did not like people who thought they were smart.
However, he still cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Elder Ancestor, I'll teach him well."
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded slightly to express his satisfaction, then he left with his hands behind his back.
"Hello, Teacher Bai." As soon as Elder Ancestor Bai left, the young Greater Rat Demon Nie Yuan quickly came over and bowed.
Bai Shixin did not comment, he walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, and threw it to him.
Nie Yuan quickly caught it, and saw the words "Sun Tzu's Art of War" written on the cover.
"Come see me after you've memorized it," Bai Shixin said calmly, then he waved his hand, and Nie Yuan immediately left.
When he was alone, he let out a long sigh, then walked to the bookshelf, took out an identical copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and flipped to the next page.
"Know the enemy and know yourself, and you'll never be defeated; know the enemy and know yourself, and you'll win and lose; know the enemy and know yourself, and you'll lose every battle."
He repeatedly pondered, and a hint of seriousness flashed through his eyes.
For a powerhouse like Vigilante A who was overly active, who did chivalry almost all day and night, and who never stayed in one place to concentrate on cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to keep track of his movements at all times.
If there was an oversight, it would be hard to guarantee that the Insect Devil incident would happen again, and he would be blocked at his doorstep. Last time, if he did not have special information channels, he might not have survived. He had personally ambushed the Insect Devil, although he was beaten to a pulp …
…
Fang Ning did not know that he was being remembered, he was currently looking at the System Notification happily. Sir System had become stronger again, and he could play with more peace of mind, so of course he was in a good mood.
System Notification: [The System consumed a huge amount of experience points to cultivate the Dragonization Ability to advanced level in isolation. It has reached the current level bottleneck, and cannot continue to level up before leveling up. Current effects are as follows:
1: High-level Satiety. Can consume the total amount of food required for three months, and will not need to eat for three months.
2: All Dragon Series Martial Arts increased in power, current ability level increased by 300%.
3: All Dragon Series Martial Arts are rapidly fusing, currently 20 types of Dragon Series Martial Arts have been fused, 12 types remaining, fusion in progress …]
As Fang Ning was looking at the System Notification, Sir System suddenly spoke.
The System said, "Say, Host, you only know how to look at my improvement every day. I've given you the game book for so long, why haven't you looked at your own improvement? "
Fang Ning was at a loss for words, and tried to change the topic, "There's no need to look at my attributes anymore, I've only been cultivating for half a year, I'm sure it's still a tragedy …"
The System said, "No, no, you're overestimating yourself, let's look at it first …"
At that moment, Fang Ning's precious game book floated in front of him, and he immediately flipped to the Character Attributes Panel.
Fang Ning could only force himself to look at it.
[Fang Ning. Gender: Male. Hobbies: Games, novels, indescribable videos, etc. Age: 29. Identity: Restaurant owner, Venerable White Dragon, Warden, System Host, etc.]
[Alignment: Neutral, Righteous.]
[Power Level: …]
Fang Ning breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, "Look, the book is obviously full of ellipses. It must be saying that I'm possessed by the System, that my potential is limitless, and that my strength cannot be determined … "
The System said, "Damn it, this stupid book, I clearly gave you a Rice-level normal person evaluation, but it didn't show me …"
Fang Ning hugged the game book and laughed, "My precious game book would never slander its dear owner. Now, let me see how awesome Sir System is …"
As soon as he finished, the game book in his hand flipped to the Creature Collection Module.
[Name: Unknown. Gender: Unknown. Hobbies: Training and farming monsters. Age: Half a year. Identity: System.]
[Alignment: Righteous Messenger.]
[Power Level: Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: A swimming pool, extremely high endurance, extremely high evasion, above average speed, relatively strong attack power, above average defense, many skills, extremely strong escape ability, extremely high survival ability …]
Fang Ning looked at the almost full page of adjectives, and was a little speechless, "I still think you're bragging. No, you're not a creature, how can you still be shown in this Creature Module, you're obviously showing off … "
The System said, "I'll show it if I want to, I won't show it if I don't want to …"
As soon as the System's voice fell, the game book's evaluation of Sir System changed again.
[Power Level: The Best in the Heavens and Earth, one punch to destroy stars, one kick to shatter land, one breath to form clouds …]
Fang Ning was dumbfounded, and then he reacted, "I understand now, this is because my precious game book is in the System Space, if it's evaluating you here, you can be as strong as you want."
Just as the System was about to speak again, Fang Ning suddenly saw a new email notification on his computer, and he quickly opened it.
Fang Ning looked at it and said, "Stop bragging for now, let's talk business. Zheng Dao forwarded an email, it's related to the Dark Tournament Qualifiers. "
The System said, "Hurry up and say it."
Fang Ning said, "The news isn't very good, it's probably the repercussions of you bragging too much just now. You have to be mentally prepared later. "
The System said, "Do you think I'm as weak as you?"
Fang Ning was speechless, and he began to relay the contents of the long email, "The organizers said that you're too strong, Sir System. Even N 'gun, who was specially picked to have the strongest defense, was smashed to pieces by you. In the Qualifiers, they can no longer match you with opponents of similar strength.
"For the sake of fairness and safety, they're prepared to temporarily set you as the King of the Dark Tournament this year, and they've already announced your results to the other Supreme Challengers. They'll give all challengers one King's Challenge Right, and it's up to them to choose whether to use it or not, and they'll be responsible for their own lives. The validity is within this year.
"Currently, no one has used this King's Challenge Right, so the bad news is that you can't go there to fight for money before the end of the year. If no one challenges you, then you'll be rewarded as the King of the Dark Tournament at the end of the year. "
The System said, "That's good news, I'll just wait for a huge sum of money at the end of the year."
Fang Ning was worried about the idiot's intelligence, "It is indeed good news. Think about it, they already said that they can't find an opponent who's as strong as you, Sir System. They're playing with the rules of the Qualifiers, if there's no opponent, how are they going to arrange a match for you? If they can't arrange a match for you, will they still send you an invitation next year? "
The System said, "You make it sound so complicated, can't you make it simpler?"
Fang Ning said, "Basically, they think you're too strong, so they don't want to play with you anymore …"
The System said, "No, no, I'm not that strong, I didn't kill N 'gun, hurry up and tell them that …"
As soon as the System finished speaking, the Power Rating on the game book changed again.
[Power Rating: Basin-level Contestant. Detail Size: A Basin-level Contestant. Average Endurance, Average Evasion, Average Speed, Average Attack Power, Poor Defense, Flashy but not practical …]
