Chapter 626: Hammer and Sword
Hammer and Sword . . .
"Those matters which initially appeared unrelated to Ling-Bao Hall, particularly those entwined with national affairs and war, might not seem like domains affected by a private enterprise. Yet, upon deeper reflection, it becomes evident that all those matters were intricately tied to Ling-Bao Hall."
"Such an achievement, Brother Feng. You employed Ling-Bao Hall as the instrument, and accomplished it within a mere year... I am truly impressed, and I hold great admiration for your abilities."
"With your capabilities, Brother Feng, you stand peerless in this world! Your approach to dealing with affairs is profoundly significant."
Master Bai spoke with composure, "However, your adversary is me—House of the Chaotic Storms."
"If I were not the master of House of the Chaotic Storms... if Wan-Er and Xiu-Er were simply two ordinary girls in this land, even though they possessed remarkable power, the House of the Chaotic Storms would unquestionably fall to your formidable might."
"Yet, that is the crux of the matter. No matter how astute and sagacious you may be, how profound your understanding, your potentialities, when pitted against my absolute authority, amount to very little."
"You recognize this, but it is an immutable fact."
Master Bai smiled, and his brows raised ever so slightly.
Eun Xiao attentively listened to Master Bai. Suddenly, he perceived that Bai Chen's subtly raised eyebrows resembled two concealed azure dragons ascending into the heavens.
It was a manifest display of pride, akin to dragons soaring through the skies!
Eun Xiao furrowed his brow. He felt a surge of competitive spirit. He refused to concede defeat.
Simultaneously, Bai Chen sensed Feng Monarch's resolute determination.
The gleam in Feng Zhiling's eyes radiated boundless pride, looking down upon the entire world.
It conveyed unwavering determination, absolute pride, and an unwavering self-assuredness.
All Bai Chen discerned was, "I am no less than you."
This sentiment left him momentarily speechless, following all his previous words. Silence enveloped everything.
Eun Xiao finally spoke, "You are absolutely correct. I was powerless."
Bai Chen smiled. "Hence, no matter your efforts, your actions, your schemes, you remained under my dominance. Irrespective of the aspect... you grappled with the overwhelming supremacy of the House of the Chaotic Storms."
"You may not like it, yet you were powerless."
"Because the omnipotent force suppressing you is my absolute power. Even though you are capable, you pale in comparison. You are markedly weaker."
"Under this suppression, you continuously struggled and fought. You sought to alleviate this suppression, but discovered that despite your attempts, you could not."
"The absolute power we wield transcends the limitations of this realm. You... You were merely striving against a deity with all your earthly resources."
"You may have seemed formidable and vociferous, but in reality, you were futile. You knew you could never emerge victorious!"
"You recognized the futility, yet you never yielded; in fact, it only ignited your combative spirit even further. My suppression compelled this combative nature from within you, and in response, it kindled your unwavering confidence. Confronting an adversary you could never overcome, you remained unyielding and fought with increasing vigor."
"Facing others in the future, what will you be like? You will stand proudly, exuding confidence, fearlessness, and an indomitable spirit. You never retreated when pitted against me, retaining a glimmer of hope in your heart. Confronting others, you will harbor no fear."
"The absolute power wielded by the House of the Chaotic Storms may subdue all others in this world, including Qing-Yun Realm, but not you. For you, it serves as a catalyst, propelling you higher and higher."
"It has shaped you into the unique figure you are today, a singular entity in ten thousand years of history. Now that circumstances are changing, and we must depart from this world, the Land of Han-Yang will become your personal stage. However, you will encounter a distinct challenge—a lack of formidable adversaries in this realm."
"As we depart, you may initially feel discomfort, for there will be none in this world capable of truly testing your abilities. It will be akin to suddenly losing a suppression that had become familiar. You may experience a mixture of excitement, exhilaration, and happiness. But upon the realization that you didn't vanquish that suppression but rather, it simply vanished, you might find yourself in a period of uncertainty."
"Especially for someone as proud as you, your thoughts may lean towards, 'If only Master Bai would remain here as my eternal adversary.' That is why you sighed."
"Whether it's the royal house, the world, or the martial realm, there may still be individuals who could endanger your life. However, there truly exists no one you cannot defeat."
Bai Chen spoke in hushed tones, "Feng Monarch, sometimes, when a hammer strikes down, it may crush many things. Yet, what remains unbroken by the hammer becomes an invincible and sharp sword. I am delighted to be the hammer. But I am also disheartened that I could not shatter your indomitable spirit."
"I initially believed I could easily obliterate everything in this world. But no matter how forcefully I struck, regardless of my relentless blows, I couldn't erode your confidence. That is why... I long to be your adversary."
