My Master Knows It All-Chapter 399 - 163 Reincarnation of Great Ability_5
Chapter 399: Chapter 163 Reincarnation of Great Ability_5
"He wants to debate military law with us?"
"How is such a debate even possible?"
"Military law is not to be taken lightly; during a debate, one must concentrate fully, scrutinizing every step. He’s so distracted at the moment, yet he still wants to debate military law with us?"
"Gentlemen, should we wait for a while or leave first, and challenge him after Cao Zhen has finished?"
The five Cave Masters had heard that someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect had come to debate military law with them, and moreover, he intended to do it while simultaneously engaged in other debates.
Although the challenge had come from the other party, they were Cave Masters from the Thousand Caves Door—one of the top ten Immortal Sects!
Under such circumstances, even if they won the debate, they would feel no honor in it.
They had their pride and didn’t wish to engage in a debate like this.
While Cao Zhen was busy forging a flying boat, he heard the voices of the disciples from below and immediately shouted, "Is it the Cave Masters from the Military Tactics Cave? Perfect, my mouth’s still free, let’s have our debate."
The five Cave Masters from the Military Tactics Cave instantly showed anger on their faces.
"Audacity!"
"We don’t want to take advantage of him, yet he dares to provoke us on his own initiative!"
"Gentlemen, he provoked us first. If we don’t respond, they might think the Thousand Caves Door fears him."
"Peak Master Cao, is it? Well, I would like to experience your understanding of military law."
The five Cave Masters from the Military Tactics Cave strode towards Cao Zhen.
Forging the flying boat, Cao Zhen spoke without even lifting his head.
"The military is a matter of vital importance to a state, a matter of life or death, the way to survival or ruin, and must not be neglected."
"The military is the way of deception."
"I have thirty-six stratagems, with the first being ’Deceive the heavens to cross the sea’ ..."
"Getting away is the best plan ..."
Below, each Cave Master listening to those thirty-six stratagems seemed as if petrified, all standing rooted to the spot.
"This... so this is another way military law can be understood."
"I never imagined military law to encompass so much. Apparently, military law isn’t just about generals and soldiers..."
Among the five Cave Masters, one suddenly had an epiphany, his body radiating golden light.
"Enlightenment!"
"The Cave Master from the Army-breaking Cave has achieved enlightenment!"
"Just by listening to Cao Zhen’s words, he directly achieved enlightenment?"
"If the Cave Master achieved enlightenment from listening to Cao Zhen’s words, does that not mean..."
"We’ve lost, we’ve lost again."
"There’s no need to discuss formations; with just a few words, he prompted our Cave Master’s enlightenment!"
"How does Cao Zhen understand military law as well..."
Amidst their shock, not far away, in the Spirit Field, several Cave Masters spoke: "Impossible, this Spirit Field cannot be restored."
"We can’t restore the Spirit Field, may I ask Peak Master Cao, how can this Spirit Field be restored!"
They had discussed for a long time without coming up with a way to repair the Spirit Field.
According to the debate rules of "Agriculture," if one side could not repair the Spirit Field, then as the challenge presenter, one needed to restore the Spirit Field themselves; only then would it be considered a true victory.
"Restoring the Spirit Field is easy, just..." Cao Zhen began to say, then hesitated, realizing his mistake that he had forgotten he still had to restore the Spirit Field; this was going to let them learn of the wonders of manure.
Well, it’s okay if they know it.
Cao Zhen pointed towards the Spirit Field and said, "You go find some cow dung and chicken manure..."
"Manure?" The crowd instantly frowned.
A moment later, one of the Cave Masters told the disciple behind him, "Do as he says and find the manure. I want to see how he uses manure to restore this Spirit Field."
Shortly afterward, the disciples of the Thousand Caves Door brought carts full of manure.
By now, due to the commotion caused by Cao Zhen, most disciples of the Thousand Caves Door had stayed behind. As the manure was brought in, a stench spread through the air, and the disciples were visibly disgusted, covering their noses and mouths.
They were people of Immortal Cultivation, and now they had to deal with manure!
"Wait for me for a moment."
Cao Zhen shot an Alchemy Technique towards the Pill Furnace in front of him, reducing the furnace’s flames, then swiftly moved towards the Spirit Field, plunging his hands into the soil to alter its composition.
After a short while, he pointed at the carts of manure and said, "Alright, now just spread the manure over this Spirit Field."
Having said that, he quickly flew back to continue his alchemy, formation crafting, and making the flying boat.
Several disciples from the Thousand Caves Door, following their Cave Master’s orders, reluctantly brought the manure to the front of the Spirit Field. Then, using Divine Skills, they scattered the cartloads of manure over the Spirit Field.
As the manure fell, the previously barren Spirit Field suddenly brimmed with Spiritual Energy.
"Did it work?"
"Has the Spirit Field really been restored?"
"Because of this manure? How could this be? Manure is clearly filth."
Without even needing to inspect it, just by standing aside, everyone could sense the rich Spiritual Energy over the Spirit Field.
"Have we lost?"
"We’ve lost again!"
"How is this possible!"
"So, up to now, we have not won against Cao Zhen in anything!"
"This Cao Zhen, is he truly the Peak Master of the Hundredth Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect?"
"Military law, calligraphy, musical rhythm... What doesn’t he know?"
The people from the Thousand Caves Door were completely baffled. How could someone be so proficient in everything? Such a person, how could he only be the Peak Master of the Hundredth Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect!
In front of Cao Zhen, three of the five Cave Masters from the Military Tactics Cave had already retreated, and another one from the Army-breaking Cave, having given thanks for his enlightenment, had also left, clearly admitting defeat.
