World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 352: The Path of the Unconventional Grandmaster

in recent days, du ge has been formulating basic livelihood policies. he also introduced the popularization of vernacular chinese, modern poetry, sketching, oil painting, and other new artistic concepts.

following the launch of "linyang daily," du ge successively introduced magazines such as "livelihood," "art," "enlightenment," "trends," and "women's special issue."

he aimed to influence society from various aspects and lead the trends.

however, compared to the astrology culture he previously promoted, this time du ge's efforts had minimal impact.

linyang, linjiang, and jiangbei, the three cities near the border, had too few talents available. even with the assistance of powerful figures like the imperial teacher, they couldn't support so many new trends.

moreover, at this time, lin qing's army was pressing on the border, causing panic among the citizens of the three cities.

the people of linjiang and jiangbei were particularly worried about their mentally unstable city lords, leaving them with little interest in embracing new arts and ideas...

realizing that the current environment was not suitable for promoting new trends, du ge shifted his focus entirely to the upcoming war.

anyway, his attributes were improving rapidly every day, so he didn't need to deliberately enhance them.

nowadays, the most frequent task du ge performed was writing horoscopes and publishing them in "linyang daily."

for example:

"sagittarius today's horoscope: five stars.

overall luck:

your overall luck is fantastic today. your charm and talent seem to have reached their peak. you will experience new growth in various fields, whether in work or career, as if blessed by divine assistance. believe in your abilities and potential, and you will reap rich rewards;

love luck:

you will attract admiration from all the opposite sex around you, bringing you a day full of ease and joy. no one will reject your proposals...

career luck:

the difficulties you encounter at work will be easily resolved. those enemies who leave you helpless will face various unexpected accidents without you even lifting a finger;

when you calm down to practice martial arts, you will easily grasp some previously elusive insights, allowing you to effortlessly step into the next realm..."

what is cheating?

this is cheating!

artificially creating luck, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

besides du ge, huangfu yue, luo shuang, the imperial teacher, huangfu xing, xiang li, ge zong, guan feipeng, and other capable assistants of du ge had five-star luck every day these days.

and luck is something that works if you believe in it sincerely.

veterans like huangfu xing, who were worried about the upcoming war, trusted themselves more than the vague concept of luck.

even though du ge reminded them of their good luck these days and urged them to cultivate, they stubbornly ignored the horoscope's content, resulting in minimal improvement in their skills.

however.

the martial path du ge comprehended was somewhat strange.

he became a grandmaster based on the way of water from the power of poseidon, but he couldn't explain what exactly he comprehended.

he only knew that at the moment of enlightenment, he could control the air like he controlled water.

du ge initially thought he had become the god of air and could dominate the battlefield.

but soon, he realized that his control over the air was not as smooth as in water.

the air he controlled was more like wind blades or air snakes.

wind blades were used to strip the opponent's clothes, while air snakes explored like water currents...

to be precise.

the martial path du ge comprehended was a replication of water control techniques.

due to the different nature of air and water, he couldn't fully control it, resulting in these awkward air snakes and wind blades...

this discovery left du ge somewhat frustrated.

he felt that if this continued, the title of "clothes stripping maniac" would soon fall on him.

if you added xiang li from the earthly mischief army and ge zong from the earthly alien army, and if luo shuang truly took power, who knows what kind of trend the country would follow!

after all.

he had the skill of leading by example.

people in lower positions would unconsciously imitate his behavior.

du ge previously didn't understand why huangfu yue's marksmanship focused more on the lower body.

now, he fully understood the source of huangfu yue's changes!

in fact.

the one more frustrated than du ge was the imperial teacher who sparred with him.

unlike water currents, wind blades and air cannons were invisible, relying only on perception, making them difficult to defend against. a moment of inattention would allow du ge to exploit a weakness.

the upper body was manageable, but once the lower body was breached, any natural realm would be broken in seconds, leaving the imperial teacher at du ge's mercy.

the imperial teacher couldn't fathom how du ge comprehended such a martial path, feeling it was truly inhumane.

even when du ge asked him to name the martial path, he couldn't come up with a suitable name.

however, the imperial teacher, who was easily stripped to his bare chest, finally began to believe that du ge's keyword was indeed "torment."
