Chapter 145 Prioritizing the Overall Situation

"Hurry! Hurry home!"

"This is outrageous! A Venerable One has actually become angry!"

"Nonsense! He's clearly a martial artist who crushes mountains, how did he become a venerable one?"

"You don't know, do you? That's a prodigy of our human race!"

"What does it mean?"

"I've heard that those called geniuses can fight several people of the same realm without being defeated, and those called prodigies can even kill enemies beyond their realm!"

"Doesn't that mean—"

"That's right, our city lord is only at the third realm, but that person is a second-realm prodigy!"

Countless people were discussing everything about the blessing song on the streets and alleys.

No one suddenly appears out of the ground, but many people think and think, yet have no idea where Zhu Ge came from.

No one knew Zhu Ge's origins or experiences, so everyone could only guess.

However, as Zhu Ge progressed, many people discovered his destination.

Fish Scale Martial Arts School!

Jianshui City was originally a large mountain, carved by a master craftsman with supreme magic, and there are only a few areas in total.

The place Zhu Ge is going to now is none other than the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, which is presided over by the Mountain Destroyer Warrior.

The clash between two mountain-crushing martial artists naturally attracted the attention of most people.

Of course, people have their reasons for wanting to watch the excitement.

Firstly, Zhu Ge is clearly a prodigy, while the Mountain Destruction martial artist from the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, although not a prodigy, is still a martial artist in the late Mountain Destruction Realm.

It's only interesting when two tigers fight.

The second reason is obviously related to the various industries behind the Fish Scale Martial Arts School.

Behind every martial artist lies the accumulation and investment of various resources.

Otherwise, martial arts would never have been able to develop.

If Zhu Ge loses, that's fine, but what if she wins?

If Zhu Ge wins, it means that a large number of resources related to the Fish Scale Martial Arts School in Jianshui City will change.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the issue of the number of places to recruit disciples and students in the future.

Even if a disciple's tuition is only one silver coin, a hundred disciples would receive ten gold coins.

This doesn't even include how much this disciple can do for the martial arts school after achieving mastery of martial arts.

However, the number of disciples is limited.

The population of Jianshui City is limited, and the number of newborns born each year is also limited.

The competition among these martial arts schools and academies is also quite fierce.

Although the villages outside the city have large populations, just like Jianshan Village, each village has its own person in charge.

Therefore, the territory of these forces is generally within the city.

What if Zhu Ge wins this time?

In the future, other forces will be able to reduce the number of disciples at the Fish Scale Martial Arts School through various means.

As a result, the number of onlookers grew, including some highly cultivated individuals.

As for ordinary people, they run as far away as possible.

When it comes to survival, watching the spectacle is of little importance.

You must understand that this was a contest between two people at the second level of cultivation. Amidst the flying sand and stones, even innocent bystanders could be killed.

"call----"

At that moment, Zhu Ge's heart suddenly stirred, and she looked up to the east.

It seemed as if some kind of force had just swept across his body.

The Lord of Jianshui City—Zhu Ge—gave himself a profound realization.

That force just now must have been the divine consciousness of the Lord of Jianshui City.

Zhu Ge never expected that her physical body would now be able to vaguely perceive divine consciousness.

The body-refining effects of the Great Sun Glazed Body are indeed miraculous.

However, since the Lord of Jianshui City had already begun to pay attention, Zhu Ge decided not to delay any longer.

He gently kicked Ma Zhu's stomach, and Ma Zhu immediately sped up a little.

Before long, the Fish Scale Martial Arts School came into Zhu Ge's view.

"Yu Rui of the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, come out and face your death!" Zhu Ge spoke calmly, but her voice resounded for miles around.

"Yu Rui? Young Master Yu Rui?"

"I understand! Yu Yijin had a son late in life and spoils Yu Rui rotten. It seems Yu Rui has offended someone outside!"

"Yu Rui was arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but he didn't expect to run into a tough opponent."

"That's right! Yu Rui knows the powerful figures in Jianshui City, but he doesn't know any outside of Jianshui City. He's really in trouble this time."

Countless people discussed with great interest the message contained in the congratulatory song.

Fish Scale Martial Arts School has stood in Jianshui City for many years, and its success is not solely due to its fighting prowess.

For example, Yu Rui, who usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly, naturally avoids anyone with a strong aura.

However, the previous Zhu Ge blood energy was completely absorbed into the Martial Dao Heart, only revealing the cultivation level of the Confucian Dao First Realm Confucian Scholar Realm.

As a result, Yu Rui naturally ran into a wall.

"Um?"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Zhu Ge arrived at the entrance of the Fish Scale Martial Arts School. Upon seeing the open door and what was behind it, Zhu Ge was stunned.

A young man was found tied up at the entrance of the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, kneeling at the doorway. It was none other than Yu Rui!

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ge narrowed her eyes.

The owner of this Fish Scale Martial Arts School is indeed a seasoned veteran. Knowing in advance that Zhu Ge was coming, he tied his only son up here.

They also avoid showing their faces to prevent damage to their reputation.

However, they avoid direct confrontation to prevent losses.

Originally, this choice was to be made by the owner of the Fish Scale Martial Arts School.

Now, it's up to Zhu Ge to decide what she wants to do.

"Young Master Yu has been tied up!"

"That's called a gecko shedding its tail! That's really ruthless!"

"I think the person riding the bamboo horse is going to be embarrassed! But that's normal, he looks quite young and probably doesn't have much experience in handling things."

"Yes! Young people are either full of youthful vigor or, to put it bluntly, stupid!"

"That's right, anyone would be prepared for such a grand entrance. You're just too young and naive."

Those around Zhu Ge naturally noticed the difficulties she was facing.

At this moment, soldiers were also rushing over behind Zhu Ge, and the leader was also a second-realm cultivator, probably the soldier commander of Jianshui City.

"Young Master Zhu, please wait!"

The commander was a bald man with a deep voice: "Now that demons and other monsters are rampant outside, we should stick together and help each other!"

At the same time, a person appeared in the sky.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, with white hair and beard, and held a writing brush in his hand.

He looked at Zhu Ge with a kind gaze: "Hehe, young friend, I am the Lord of Jianshui City. At this time, our human race has finally achieved a great victory over the demon race. We should prioritize the overall situation."

The Lord of Jianshui City has also appeared!

Zhu Ge could feel Ma Zhu's body tremble slightly.

However, Zhu Ge remained calm.

"call out!!!"

The next second, the Purgatory Star Staff in his hand flew out and pointed directly at Yu Rui's head.

If that stick were to strike, Yu Rui's head would surely explode.

"How dare you!!"

"stop!!"

"presumptuous!!"

Shouts, roars, and cold snorts rang out simultaneously.

As expected, Zhu Ge's stick was indeed stopped.

"Heh, the big picture?"
