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

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.

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.

Even Alien Star warriors like Xiang Li and Ge Zong didn't quite believe in the luck Du Ge fabricated.

After all, luck varies in strength.

How could it be that their side always had good luck every day?

They preferred to believe that Du Ge was using psychological tricks to boost their confidence or bring good omens.

Since trends were the second keyword, Du Ge couldn't openly tell them that this was his awakened skill.

Therefore, their improvements were only attribute-related, without significant leaps.

But Luo Shuang and Huangfu Yue, one infatuated with Du Ge and the other deeply believing in the horoscopes, made rapid progress.

In just over ten days, Luo Shuang broke through to the Prenatal Realm, and Huangfu Yue stepped into the half-step grandmaster realm, showing remarkable progress. 𝔯

Similarly, some soldiers in the camp who believed in the horoscopes also saw significant improvements.

After their breakthroughs, they became even more superstitious about the horoscopes.

As for the imperial teacher, who had long seen the potential in Du Ge, he silently followed Du Ge's steps and cultivated, also making a leap in his skills. However, no one knew the exact extent of his improvement.

The one who improved the most was Du Ge himself, as he knew his skills.

In recent days, Alien Star warriors from various planets had been learning from him, calling friends and causing chaos on the Alien Star Battlefield, leading to a rapid increase in his attributes.

The combination of these factors.

He actually comprehended the grandmaster realm.

At this moment, Du Ge understood why the grandmaster realm couldn't be achieved through cultivation techniques alone.

In the Prenatal Realm, true energy flows endlessly within the body;

Upon entering the grandmaster realm, true energy could no longer be described in terms of quantity. It was more like mastering a certain rule, an indescribable feeling, similar to the Power of Poseidon but different.

For example, Cao Lin's Way of Slaughter. When he adhered to the Way of Slaughter, one slash could cut through a river, producing hundreds of meters of blade energy.

But once he deviated from the intent of slaughter, he couldn't produce the hundred-meter-long blade energy.

In short, Cao Lin's Way of Slaughter was purely offensive, with no defense...

The imperial teacher's Way of Nature was the same. When he integrated with nature, he was invincible. Once he left the natural realm, his strength would be significantly weakened.

This was why the imperial teacher rarely took action; his Way of Nature was not suited for killing.

After stepping into the grandmaster realm, Du Ge understood why grandmasters could easily decide the outcome of a war but rarely appeared on the battlefield.

If they left their martial path realm, they could become lambs to the slaughter on the battlefield.

As for the higher realm of the great grandmaster, even the imperial teacher couldn't explain it, and Du Ge knew even less. Perhaps the Qinglan Sword Saint knew, but at this moment, Du Ge had no time for the Qinglan Sword Sect.

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."
