"For someone without the privilege of defying fate, impersonating the Masked Baron is extremely difficult, because no weapon or martial technique can withstand the three major privileges of a high-ranking noble. Therefore, resistance is not an option," Lady Red Lotus paused and continued, "If you don't resist, then you can only borrow momentum or endure. Since you are unwilling to become my knight and borrow momentum, the only option left is to endure."
"Endure? What's the difference?" Bai Cangdong asked in confusion.
"Of course there is a difference. Let's carefully analyze the three major privileges. The first privilege is immunity. As long as you don't attack someone of a higher rank, this privilege won't be triggered. Therefore, using this privilege can't determine whether you have the privilege of defying fate. The second privilege is judgment, which can immobilize someone of a lower rank, making them unable to move or use any martial techniques or longevity arts. For someone just one rank lower, the effect of judgment is about one second, which is very short. However, judgment is the easiest way to determine if you have the privilege of defying fate, and that's what we mainly need to deal with. As for the final sanction, it reduces your physical attributes, but this is easy to counter. If you usually use only 20% of your strength, and after being sanctioned, you use 100% of your strength, it will look like you haven't been sanctioned at all," Lady Red Lotus analyzed the three major privileges one by one.
"But how do I deal with the judgment privilege? I can't just stay still and let people not know if I'm being immobilized by the judgment privilege, can I?" Bai Cangdong asked.
Lady Red Lotus smiled slightly, "That definitely won't work. In fact, there's no particularly good way to deal with judgment. The only weakness of judgment is that it's too short, just one second. What you need to do is observe when the other party uses the judgment privilege. Try to remain still when they use it, and pass the one second without showing any signs of being immobilized. This way, they won't know if you've been immobilized, and you will have succeeded."
"How can I tell if the other party is using judgment?" Although Bai Cangdong himself had the three major privileges, he had never used them and didn't know what special signs there were when using them.
"The three major privileges have almost no obvious characteristics when used, but there are still some subtle differences from normal situations. You just need to pay attention to these differences, and you will naturally be able to tell if the other party is using the three major privileges," Lady Red Lotus explained the details of using the three major privileges to Bai Cangdong, making sure he remembered them well.
"Have you remembered everything? Now let me see your reaction," Lady Red Lotus looked at Bai Cangdong, suddenly reached out to pinch his chin, and then caressed down from his chest to his abdomen.
Bai Cangdong caught Lady Red Lotus's hand and said breathlessly, "Madam, you've had enough, haven't you?"
"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of insight, grasping the essence of silently enduring the three major privileges so quickly. That's really impressive," Lady Red Lotus looked at Bai Cangdong with some surprise.
Bai Cangdong felt embarrassed. He hadn't really grasped the essence of enduring the three major privileges; it was just that he had the privilege of defying fate, making Lady Red Lotus's three major privileges completely ineffective on him.
"Now, can you tell me who I need to deceive?" Bai Cangdong asked again.
"The time isn't right yet. Telling you now would be useless. Go to the Daolun Society and be a good martial instructor for now. I'll find you when the time comes," Lady Red Lotus suddenly pinched Bai Cangdong's face, "You be good, okay?"
Then she flashed away, and a white figure disappeared through the window.
"You woman, if you dare to get into my bed again, I'll torture you to death," Bai Cangdong threatened after Lady Red Lotus was gone.
Bai Cangdong packed his things and left the earl's residence, returning to his own home. Although the Daolun Society provided luxurious residences for martial instructors, Bai Cangdong didn't plan to live there.
After resting at home for two days, Bai Cangdong decided to visit the Daolun Society. The position of martial instructor was half a reward and half a punishment, but the benefits were significant.
The most direct benefit was that martial instructors could learn many baron-level martial techniques from the Daolun Society for free. For ordinary martial instructors, this wasn't much of a benefit because they were usually viscounts, and baron-level techniques were of little use to them. However, for Bai Cangdong, this was a huge benefit.
Entering the Daolun Society, Bai Cangdong saw many barons coming and going. The Daolun Society wasn't a school, and its members weren't students. They didn't need to attend classes and were quite free to come and go.
Bai Cangdong, as a martial instructor, didn't need to teach classes. He would only be consulted when a member encountered difficulties in their martial technique training.
Another role of the martial instructor was to help members kill certain undead when their own strength was insufficient. Members could use some contribution points to have the martial instructor assist them in killing the undead.
After entering the Daolun Society, Bai Cangdong headed directly to the martial technique hall. He currently knew very few martial techniques, and learning more would be beneficial for his future promotion to viscount.
After seeing the strength of a viscount-level Wind Spirit, Bai Cangdong knew that advancing to viscount wasn't easy. Without the earl's grand plan to use five barons to help Li Xiangfei use the "Harmony Finger" to kill the Wind Spirit, Bai Cangdong could only desperately improve his strength to have a chance of killing a viscount-level undead.
When Bai Cangdong entered the martial technique hall, there were already many barons inside, both men and women, queuing up to exchange contribution points for martial techniques.
Bai Cangdong stood at the end of the queue. In front of him was a woman in white armor, with a very graceful and slender figure. Bai Cangdong was quite happy to admire her.
"Friend, can you let me take your place?" After waiting for a while, Bai Cangdong suddenly heard someone speak beside him.
Bai Cangdong turned to see a rather handsome man. However, after looking around, he saw that there were already seven or eight people behind him and many in front. He didn't understand why this man wanted to cut in line at his position.
"Sorry, everyone is queuing. Cutting in line is not good. You should go to the back of the line. It's only a few people anyway," Bai Cangdong said.
"Thousand life points, I'll buy your place," the man said.
Bai Cangdong's eyes lit up, but he still shook his head.
"Two thousand life points," the man added without hesitation.
Seeing Bai Cangdong shake his head again, the man immediately raised the price to five thousand life points without blinking.
"Deal," Bai Cangdong agreed to let the man take his place this time.
"Wait, queuing is about following the rules. How can you casually buy and sell places? Sir, I hope you don't do such a shameful thing just for a few life points," the woman in front of Bai Cangdong suddenly turned around and said.
Bai Cangdong's eyes lit up. This woman was very beautiful, not as alluring as Lady Red Lotus or as sweet and pure as Li Xiangfei, but she had her own charm, a graceful and alluring demeanor between a girl and a woman.
"It's just a place. Why make it so serious? Besides, this gentleman offered five thousand life points, which is very sincere. I would feel bad if I didn't let him take it," Bai Cangdong said casually.
"Ha ha, my friend is right. I am very sincere," the man said, about to transfer five thousand life points to Bai Cangdong.
"Wait, I'll offer ten thousand life points. Don't let him take your place," the woman suddenly said.
"Hmm, it seems this young lady is even more sincere," Bai Cangdong smiled happily. It wasn't every day that he could earn such a large amount of life points just by queuing, without having to risk his life hunting undead.
"Zhu Jun, why are you doing this?" the man said with a bitter smile to the woman.
"Some things can't be forced," the woman said calmly.
The man sighed, glared at Bai Cangdong, and turned to leave.
Bai Cangdong waited for a while, and when the woman turned back to continue queuing, she didn't seem to have any intention of giving him the life points: "Cough, miss, did you forget something?"
Han Zhujun looked back at Bai Cangdong in surprise and said, "Do you really want my life points?"
"It seems you were the one who insisted on giving them to me. I'm just claiming what I deserve," Bai Cangdong said.
Han Zhujun looked at him with disdain, said nothing more, and directly transferred ten thousand life points to Bai Cangdong.
With ten thousand life points in hand, Bai Cangdong was in a great mood. He continued queuing. When it was his turn, he took out his martial instructor token but was told that martial instructors didn't need to come here to learn martial techniques. They had a dedicated martial library and could go there directly.
Bai Cangdong found out the location of the martial library and left the martial technique hall reluctantly. He hadn't gone far when he was blocked by a group of barons.
"Friend, we meet again," the man who had offered five thousand life points for Bai Cangdong's place held a wooden stick and walked up to him with a smile.
"Yes, what a coincidence. Does your lordship have any business to offer me?" Bai Cangdong smiled.
"Of course, and it's a big deal. Ten thousand life points per stick. How many sticks do you want to buy?" the man said, holding up the wooden stick.
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Your memory is really bad. You already forgot what happened in the martial technique hall?" the man sneered.
"You mean that? I didn't take your life points. You saw it yourself. It wasn't me who didn't let you take my place; it was the woman who stopped you. It has nothing to do with me."
"Hmph, taking my life points is one thing, not letting me take your place is another, but you even dared to take my Zhujun's life points. You're really asking for it. Beat him up," the man ordered, and the barons pounced on Bai Cangdong like wolves.
