After a day of hard toil, the bandit Du Ge reaped a bountiful harvest.

Nobly forgiving his enemies, treating their wounds, providing them with opportunities for labor, and then plundering the fruits of their labor…

Du Ge practiced his two Keywords every moment, seizing every chance to grow.

He imbued his sword with “Sturdy,” “Sharp,” and “Swift,” making it indestructible and as quick as lightning.

As for characters like “Agile,” “Strength,” and “Wisdom” that he had written, Du Ge didn’t use them on himself but on Chen Da instead.

Du Ge had his principles; he avoided other warriors’ skills whenever possible.

Trusting others was a taboo.

The effects of skills were filled with uncertainty; if caught off guard, regret would be too late.

Besides.

Du Ge’s own attributes were not low; he didn’t need these external enhancements.

His realm was on par with Chen Da’s. Once he imbued the flying sword with “Swift,” he could easily outpace Chen Da while flying it.

In a sense, this ordinary flying sword in his hand should already be considered a divine weapon in this world.

With “Agile,” “Strength,” and “Wisdom” added, Chen Da’s strength and speed nearly doubled, and his mind became much clearer, which thrilled him to no end.

Even so.

He still couldn’t catch up to Du Ge’s speed.

The Seven Stars Sect’s stock market expanded too rapidly, and Du Ge’s attributes were constantly increasing.

Chen Da was the seventh.

Without using spiritual power, Du Ge’s attributes were twenty times greater than his.

The effects of “Agile” and “Strength” were like doubling the current attributes. Even if they were doubled again now, it would be impossible to catch up to Du Ge.

Moreover, Du Ge also had the boost of spiritual power.

…

“Are there any other special characters?” Du Ge asked.

“Mad, Tyrant, Cool, Insane…” Chen Da said, “Back in the capital, I had written those characters, but before I could find a test subject, your flying sword destroyed them. Wang Chong, we need to cooperate. You shouldn’t be so guarded against me. There are many powerful characters that only I can activate…”

“Right, I know.” Du Ge looked at Chen Da and said, “But you’re too weak. My enemies are at least in the Void Refinement Realm. With your current level, you can’t possibly throw the characters onto them.

In the capital, if it weren’t for wanting to keep a low profile at first and not alert the supervisory institution, Yao Liang would never have been controlled by you. Our three flying swords would have dismantled your house. Even if we couldn’t break into your study, just by waiting outside, we could have starved you to death…”

“I wouldn’t starve.” Chen Da stubbornly said, “I can write ‘Rice,’ ‘Meat,’ ‘Water.’”

“Heh.” Du Ge chuckled, “If you go up against someone in the Void Refinement Realm, can you stick ‘Control’ on them? Cultivators are always high above, hardly touching the ground.”

I also have a dragon. If it weren’t for running into a scoundrel like you.

Even those in the Void Refinement Realm would be no match for me.

Chen Da didn’t bother to argue with Du Ge, muttering in his heart and continued writing.

“Don’t be discouraged. You stay in the Medicine Immortal Sect and diligently practice your writing. Once your skills are fully developed, I’ll take you out to have fun.” Du Ge smiled, “The spiritual power I transferred to you should at least allow you to reach the Divine Transformation Realm.”

“Wang Chong, do you realize how dangerous it is for you now?” After writing a few more characters, Chen Da seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at Du Ge.

“Oh? Let’s hear it.” Du Ge smiled, “Keep talking, and keep writing. Don’t stop.”

“While writing, I always feel restless. After much thought, I finally understood why.” Chen Da looked at Du Ge, “You kidnapped the popular new scholar and abducted a supervisory enforcer from the Void Refinement Realm, causing such a commotion in the capital. Such actions are like slapping the face of Yan Country’s monarch in public.

Even just for the sake of face, Yan Country can’t possibly give up on hunting you down. That’s why I say you’re in great danger…”

“Is there more?” Du Ge asked.

“Isn’t that enough?” Chen Da frowned, “Wang Chong, you don’t really think you can escape the siege of an entire country, do you?

Even if you’ve taken control of Chen Da, do you think there’s only one Alien Star warrior in the vast capital? Do you know how many eyes are watching me, and do you think they won’t add fuel to the fire from behind?

The top ten list is public. Apart from you, the other seven have joined renowned sects, and there’s also a princess from Daqing Country. The supervisory institution wouldn’t dare to provoke them, so do you think they wouldn’t dare to provoke a small Medicine Immortal Sect?”

“That makes sense.” Du Ge looked at him with an approving gaze.

“I reckon it won’t take more than two days before the supervisory institution might attack the Medicine Immortal Sect.” Chen Da put down his pen again, his voice unconsciously rising, “Your reckless actions have put you in the eye of the storm, and you could be finished at any moment. You might even drag me down with you. Lifting the restrictions on me and letting me fully utilize my abilities is the correct way to cooperate.

Not like now, where you’re guarded against me at every turn, not even daring to use an ‘Agile’ character on yourself. You keep saying you want to exchange sincerity for sincerity, but ask yourself, have you really done that?”

“Are you done?” Du Ge smiled, using spiritual power to pick up the pen and put it back in Chen Da’s hand, “If you’re done, continue writing.”

“Wang Chong, I’m serious, not joking with you.” Chen Da said.

“I know, we’re partners, right!” Du Ge smiled, “But, you’re wrong about the facts.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Da was stunned.

“Stirring up one part affects the whole. Even if there really are warriors in the capital, they would choose to watch rather than actively join in the chaos,” Du Ge said, “After all, it’s only been just over two months. Any action they take that has a significant impact on the world could expose them, and they might even enter the top ten and reveal themselves…”

“Is that what you’re relying on? Placing your fate in the hands of others?” Chen Da scoffed, “There are still over twelve hundred people in the Simulation Field. Can you guarantee that not one of them is impulsive, like you?”

“I can’t guarantee that.” Du Ge laughed.

“Then why don’t you release me? My attributes are high, and if we hurry up my cultivation and use your spiritual power to boost me, my realm could quickly advance and kill past them. As long as I write a few ‘Forbid’ and ‘Control,’ no matter how many Void Refinement Realm experts come, I won’t be afraid.” Chen Da said.

“You’ve gone through such a big loop just to get me to lift the restrictions on you!” Du Ge laughed and shook his head, “Actually, you could’ve just said it outright.”

“What’s that look for? What I’m saying is the truth.” Chen Da’s face flushed, “Don’t take it lightly. You don’t really think you can stand against a whole country, do you?”

“You still don’t understand me!” Du Ge looked at Chen Da with pity and asked, “Old Chen, do you remember the time I took off your hands and feet again?”

Chen Da’s face turned red at the mention, and he huffed but said nothing.

With his abilities, no one would feel safe letting him write alone, but that bastard Wang Chong even took off his feet.

It had to be said, this one was indeed cautious.

Du Ge continued with a smile: “After you added those characters to Chen Da, did you see him afterward?”

“Huh?” Chen Da was puzzled.

“Those guys you mentioned are too timid to hope they’ll leak the top ten names anytime soon.” Du Ge said, “So, the things they don’t dare to do, I did for them.”

Damn it!

To hell with your strategy!

Chen Da glared at Du Ge, unable to restrain his temper, and retorted, “You’re insane, causing such a big commotion, hiding isn’t enough, and you still want to stir up trouble? You clearly have a great advantage, isn’t it better to wait for the right time?”

“What is the right time?” Du Ge glanced at him, “Wait for you to write the ‘Immortal’ character? For me, the best time is to strike before others have developed, to deal with them proactively.”

“Madman, you’re damn crazy!” Chen Da was dumbfounded. He could never have imagined Wang Chong would be the one to self-destruct.

“I’m never passive.” Du Ge smiled, “If what you said happens, even if you truly cooperate with me, we’d still be at a dead end. Only by taking the initiative to stir the waters can we be the safest.

Just like you said, I caused such a big commotion in the capital, it’s like directly slapping Yan Country’s face. I’m not convenient to trouble those big sects for the top ten, wouldn’t Yan Country dare? For the sake of face, they have to act.

Even if Yan Country doesn’t dare to attack the Heaven’s Path Institute, sending envoys to inquire would be better than concentrating forces to deal with the Medicine Immortal Sect. Exposing Luo Cang and their identities, I think, would probably give them a hard time, right?”

He laughed again and looked at the dumbfounded Chen Da, “What I’m best at is fishing in troubled waters.”

Gulp!

Chen Da swallowed hard, looking at Du Ge with a hint of fear.

After carefully considering Wang Chong’s words, he realized that although Wang Chong’s actions were crazy, they were actually the best way to solve the predicament.
