Chapter Twenty-One Position

  "For someone without the privilege of reversing fate, impersonating a viscount is extremely difficult. There's no armed force or martial art that can counter the three major privileges of a high-ranking noble, so resistance is futile." Lady Honglian paused and said: "If you don't resist, then there's only borrowing power or enduring. You're not willing to become my knight, so borrowing power is useless to you, leaving only endurance."

  "What's the difference?" Bai Cangdong asked in puzzlement.

  "Of course, there is a difference. Let's carefully analyze the three major privileges. The first privilege is exemption, as long as you don't take action against those of higher status, this privilege won't be activated, so using this privilege can't reveal whether or not you have the Reversal Privilege. The second privilege is trial, restricting those with lower status than yourself, making them unable to move and also unable to use any martial skills or longevity techniques. For someone who is only one rank lower, the effect of trial is roughly one second, a very short time. However, trial is the easiest way to determine whether or not you have the Reversal Privilege, so we mainly focus on dealing with this privilege. As for the last one, sanction, it lowers your physical attributes, which is also easy to deal with. As long as you normally use only 50% of your strength and after being sanctioned, you use 100%, then it would seem like you're not being sanctioned at all." Lady Honglian analyzed the three major privileges one by one.

  "But how can I cope with the privilege of being judged? I couldn't just stay still and let people wonder if I was really restricted by the privilege of judgment or not?" said Bai Cangdong.

  "Smiling slightly, Lady Honglian said: 'That's definitely not going to work. In fact, there's no particularly good way to deal with the trial. The only weakness of the trial is that it's too short, just one second. It's easy to get through if you're careful. What you need to do is observe when the other person uses their trial privilege and try to keep yourself in a stationary state at that moment, quietly getting through that one second without revealing whether or not you've been restricted. That way, you'll succeed.'"

  "How can I tell if the other party is using judgment?" Although Bai Cangdong himself also has the three major privileges, he has never used them and doesn't know what special features they have when used.

  "When using the three major privileges, there are almost no obvious characteristics, but compared to normal times, there will still be some subtle differences. You just need to pay attention to these differences and you can naturally tell if the other person is using the three major privileges." Lady Honglian told Bai Canghai some details about using the three major privileges, letting him remember them firmly in his heart.

  "Have you all memorized it? Now let me see how humans react." Madame Honglian looked at Bai Canghai, suddenly stretched out her hand to pinch his chin, and then stroked down from his chest to his abdomen, from shoulder to chest and down.

  Bai Cang seized Hong Lian's hand and said breathlessly, "Madam should have had enough, shouldn't you?"

  "Unexpectedly, your understanding is so high, you grasped the essence of silently enduring the three major privileges at once, it's really great." Lady Honglian looked at Bai Cangdong with some surprise.

  Bai Cang's face turned pale, he didn't understand the essence of bearing the three great privileges, but rather he had a rebellious fate on him, and Hong Lian's three great privileges were completely useless to him.

  "Can you now tell me who I should cheat next, madam?" asked Bai Cangdong again.

  "The time hasn't come yet, and even if I told you, it would be useless. You should go to the Knife Ron Society and focus on being a martial artist for now. When the time comes, I will naturally find you." Lady Honglian suddenly pinched Bai Cangdong's face: "You have to behave yourself."

  Then, in a flash of movement, a white strip was seen passing through the window and disappearing from sight.

  "You woman, next time you dare to get on my bed, I will surely torture you to death." Only when Hong Lian's wife was gone did Bai Cangdong dare to utter such vicious words.

  Bai Cangdong packed up his things and left the Earl's residence, returning to his own home. Although the Kuirong Society had a luxurious mansion for warriors to live in, Bai Cangdong did not plan on staying there.

  After resting at home for two days, Bai Cangdong decided to go to the Blade Union to take a look. The position of Martial Artist was half reward and half punishment, but the benefits were still great.

  The most direct benefit is that the martial artist can learn many baron-level martial skills in the Knife Rong Society for free, which is not a good thing for ordinary martial artists, because ordinary martial artists are mostly viscounts, and baron-level martial skills are basically useless to them. However, for Bai Cangdong, this is a huge benefit.

  Entering the Doran Society, Bai Cangdong saw many barons coming and going in a hurry. The Doran Society was not a school, and its members were not students. They did not need to attend classes, and their comings and goings were quite free.

  Bai Cangdong, this martial artist does not need to attend classes. Only when a certain member encounters some difficulties in their martial arts training will they ask the martial artist for guidance.

  Another use of the martial artist is when a member needs to kill some undead, but their own strength is not enough, they can use some contribution to let the martial artist help them kill those undead.

  Bai Cangdong entered the Blade Union and headed straight for the Wugui Grand Hall, he currently knew too few martial skills, learning a few more would be beneficial for his future promotion to Viscount.

  Since witnessing the power of Viscount-level Wind Spirit, Bai Cangdong knew that advancing to Viscount was not an easy task. Unlike Duke Kailuo who had a large following and used five Barons to help Li Xiangfei use "Harmony Finger" to kill the Wind Spirit, Bai Cangdong could only desperately increase his own strength in order to possibly behead a Viscount-level Undead.

  Bai Cangdong entered the Wuji Great Hall when there were already many barons inside, both men and women, all queuing up to exchange their contributions for martial skills.

  Bai Cangdong stood at the back of the queue, in front of him was a woman wearing white armor, from behind she had a slender and elegant figure, Bai Cangdong also enjoyed appreciating her.

  "Friend, can you give up this seat for me?" Bai Cangdong had been queuing for a while when he suddenly heard someone speaking beside him.

  Bai Cangdong turned his head to look, and it was a man with a rather handsome appearance. However, Bai Cangdong looked back and forth, only to find that there were already seven or eight people lined up behind him, and quite a few in front of him as well. He didn't know why this man had to cut in line right in front of him.

  "Sorry, everyone is queuing up, cutting in line is not good, you'd better go to the back of the line, anyway it doesn't make a difference with just a few more people." Bai Cangdong said.

  "A thousand lives at stake, I'll buy this position from you," the man said.

  Bai Cang's eyes lit up for a moment, but he still shook his head.

  "Two thousand lives." The man raised the price without hesitation.

  Jian Bai Cang Dong shook his head again, and the man's eyes didn't blink as he raised the price to five thousand life units.

  "Deal." Bai Cangdong readily agreed to give up his position this time.

  "Wait a minute, queuing is an act of following order. How can you just buy and sell like that? Sir, I hope you won't do something shameful just for a little bit of life." The woman in front of Bai Cangdong suddenly turned around and said.

  Bai Cang's eyes lit up in front of him, this woman was very beautiful, not as seductive as Hong Lian's wife, nor as pure and sweet as Li Xiangfei, but she had her own temperament, a charming beauty between a girl and a woman.

  "It's just a position, why make it sound so serious? Besides, this old brother has taken out 5,000 life points, he's being quite sincere. I'd be embarrassed not to let him have it." Bai Cangdong said casually.

  "Haha, my friend is right, I am very sincere." The man said, and was about to transfer 5,000 life points to Bai Cangdong.

  "Wait, I'll give you 10,000 life points, don't yield your position." The woman said suddenly.

  "Hmm, it seems this young lady is more sincere." Bai Cangdong smiled happily. Without having to desperately hunt down the Undead, he could just line up and get such a large amount of Life Force. This kind of good fortune wasn't something that came every day.

  "Zhu Jun, why must you do this again?" The man said with a bitter smile to the woman.

  "Some things can't be forced," the woman said calmly.

  The man helplessly glared at Bai Cangdong and turned away.

  Bai Cangdong waited for a while, seeing that the woman turned her head and continued to line up, without any intention of giving him life marks: "Cough cough, miss, did you forget something?"

  Han Zhujun turned back in surprise and looked at Bai Cangdong, saying: "You really want my life gauge?"

  "That seems to be what you yourself wanted to give me, Miss. I'm just taking what's due to me." said Bai Cangdong.

  Han Zhujun looked at him with disdain, said nothing more, and directly transferred 10,000 life points to Bai Cangdong.

  Having received a life-saving treatment, Bai Cangdong's mood improved greatly. He continued to queue up and when it was his turn, he took out his martial artist token, but was informed that martial artists who wanted to learn new techniques needed to go to the Martial Pavilion instead.

  Bai Cang Dong had clearly heard the location of Wu Ge, but reluctantly left the Wuji Grand Hall. Just after leaving the Wuji Grand Hall, he was blocked by a group of nobles.

  "Friends, we meet again." The man who had previously offered to buy Bai Cao Dong's position with 5,000 life points was now walking towards him with a wooden staff in hand, smiling.

  "Indeed, what a coincidence! Does sir have some business to discuss with me?" White Cangdong smiled and said.

  "Of course, it's a big deal. One stick is worth 10,000 lives, I don't know how many sticks you want to buy?" the man said with a wooden stick in his hand.

  "Uh, friend, what does this mean?"

  "What's wrong with you? Your memory is really bad, you've already forgotten what happened in the Wuji Hall?" The man sneered.

  "You're talking about that? I didn't take your life-saving opportunity, you saw it yourself. It wasn't me who wouldn't give you the position, it was that woman who stopped you. It has nothing to do with me."

  "Hmph, you can take my life away if you want, and it's fine if you don't give me a place. But how dare you also take the life of my family member Zhujun! You're really asking for trouble. Take him down!" With a single order from the man, the group of men instantly pounced on him like wolves.
