"That's easy for you to say, but without silver, how will officials and their salaries be paid?" the old man Ding Sishui shouted. "Ministers need to eat, new houses need to be built, livestock need to be cared for, and there are so many other things that require money!"

"No money? Didn't you have a salary before?" Wang Xiaohai retorted, "You could have spent your previous savings to avoid starvation. Why should I use my money to support you?"

"Is this your money? You stole it!" Ding Sishui said angrily when he heard it.

"If I take it, it will become mine, right?" Wang Xiaohai explained. "Don't even think about using my money to support your entire family."

Ding Sishui felt his anger growing bigger and bigger. This kid was so eloquent and it was obvious that he didn't want to return it!

"Boy, don't force me to do it. I've already given you a chance!" A light red martial energy burst out from Ding Sishui's body, as if he was in flames!

The color of martial energy at the beginning and middle stages of awakening is light red, while the color of martial energy at the peak and limit of awakening is red and dark red.

"You want to fight me alone?" Wang Xiaohai's body emitted golden light.

"You really don't know your place, kid. In the eyes of the awakened, you are no different from ordinary people! I am enough to defeat you alone!" Ding Sishui took out two treasure rings from his back water, holding one in each hand.

"I heard that there are combined martial arts on this continent. Dozens of people at a lower level can join forces to fight against martial artists at a higher level." Wang Xiaohai said, condensing a long sword of martial energy.

"Haha, do you still have dozens of brothers?" Ding Sishui suddenly threw a treasure ring at Wang Xiaohai and shouted, "Call them all out and see if you can defeat me!"

The treasure ring made a "buzzing" sound, and it split into two, two into four, and four into eight. The eight treasure rings followed a strange trajectory and smashed towards Wang Xiaohai.

Wang Xiaohai thought of a sentence: Tai Chi gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four symbols, and four symbols give birth to eight trigrams!
