Chapter 0155 – When I Become a Master, I Become Excited – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"It’s so easy!"

"Don’t forget who your master is."

Xu Dalong, finally had the chance, to recognize his own strength. This was of vital significance to his martial arts cultivation, but he was, at the moment, unable to realize this.

The officer, coming forward, said:

"There’s another game this afternoon, so don’t go far, wait here."

Early in the tournament, two games were played each day.

"If you get injured in the morning, you have to keep playing in the afternoon? Is this to test our willpower?"

"What willpower, they’re just in a hurry."

"Don’t you underestimate our righteous willpower!"

"Yes, young master! Cheer up!"

The afternoon match, Xu Dalong, also won easily, still without drawing his sword.

"How does it feel to have two wins in a row on your first day?"

"It feels good."

Xu Dalong, although he had been following the Blood Sky Demoness to learn sword techniques, he had never participated in an actual battle.

"Before I went on the field, I was nervous, but after I actually went on the field, I was rather less nervous. It was an amazing feeling."

"I told you this would be a rare experience for you."

"I’ve never regretted listening to you."

"You go back to rest first."

"What about you?"

"I’ll look around again."

"Okay, I’ll go first then."

I watched Xu Dalong leave, and then, I began to wander around, between the various martial arts stages.

The race, it goes on.

I saw a martial arts stage surrounded by spectators, I walked over to take a look and realized that the one standing on the stage was actually Qin Xia Ling.

She was the granddaughter of the Evil Demon Alliance, and was also the "No. 1 Beauty of Hubei", so she naturally attracted a lot of attention. The audience was talking about her.

"The granddaughter of the Alliance Master, why would she come to the competition?"

"Even if she is the granddaughter of the alliance master, she can’t get something for nothing, right? If she wants to join the Evil Demon Dao Alliance, she has to do so with strength and honor."

"That’s right, Miss Qin’s brother, a few years ago, also passed the competition and joined the Evil Demon Dao Alliance."

"The ally is truly impartial!"

Qin Xia Ling, too, easily defeated her opponent without drawing her sword.

She walked off the martial arts stage and left amidst the cheers of the crowd. She did not look at her with a slanting eye, she was arrogant and cold, which incited people to worship her even more.

I continued to watch a few more matches, and then, returned to the inn. Xu Dalong, went to the mountains to cultivate and didn’t return until late at night. Although he won easily today, he was still worried about the next match.

"I, for one, am competitive, and since I’m in the competition, I’m going to give it my all."

Xu Da Long’s character was not born this way, but rather, it was because he had always worked hard that he had developed this character.

The next day’s game, Xu DaLong, won again.

"I can’t believe you didn’t watch my game?"

"I was watching the other game, which was, well, better."

"Who is it? It can’t be the granddaughter of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance’s leader, can it?"

"Exactly."

I went to watch Qin Xia Ling’s match again. With Xu Dalong’s strength, there’s a good chance he’ll be fighting Qin Xia Ling. Of course, they were, right now, not in the same group, but if they both won their groups and made it to the finals, there was a possibility that they could meet.

There was a more important reason why I was concerned about Qin Xia Ling: she was the target of the Heavenly Fate Society’s conspiracy and a key figure. She, in all likelihood, would be a bridge for me to get closer to the President of the Heavenly Fate Society.

"What if I meet a strong enemy?"

"Would I stand idly by? I’ve watched your opponent, and you’ll win by attacking his left break."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I can tell by the way he walks."

Xu Dalong, admired me to the core, but I should, now, admire him even more.

"How does it feel to win the game?"

"It feels fantastic!"

Xu Dalong, overjoyed.

"You know what? What makes me happiest is not the moment I defeat my opponent, but the moment I walk off the martial arts stage. When people look at me, cheer for me, and applaud me, I feel overwhelmed and excited. I had, before, never realized that I actually cared so much about other people’s gazes."

"When you become a master, you’ll crave more attention."

"How is that possible?"

"You thought that you would become more stable and humble?"

"Isn’t it?"

"Suppose, you became the number one expert in the world, would you feel happy because you defeated the original number one in the world? Or would you be happy because from then on, everyone treats you as the number one in the world and worships you?"

Imagine that everywhere you go, someone shouts, "Here comes the number one in the world!" Imagine everyone you meet, filled with admiration and envy for you. Imagine your ears, always echoing with the drums, applause, and cheers of victory.

"Human nature, all the same. No, perhaps, the more expert one is, the more they crave for these things, their desires, they become more primitive, more naked. Do you think that if you are the best in the world, you must be broad-minded? Can you really resist this temptation? Can you really hide that selfishness and narrow-mindedness in your heart forever?"

Xu Dalong, was silent for a moment, then said:

"But you’re not like that, are you?"

"Why do you think, I’m not like that? I’m human, I crave these things, I’m just trying to restrain myself."

"It’s so much fun talking to you, I feel that I’ve finally become a real martial artist. My heart, it’s been a long time since I’ve been beating so fast. I really regret that I rejected you in the first place."

But this thought of Xu Dalong’s soon changed.

"I almost died! I’m not kidding, I really almost died! I told you a long time ago, I don’t want to compete! I want to go home!"

"It’s just a scratch, it’s fine."

"What’s a little scrape? Can’t you see, how much blood I’m bleeding? If I had slowed down a bit more, my shoulder, would have been pierced through a big hole! His sword, it’s too big!"

"Your opponent, who is still unconscious."

Xu Dalong’s opponent, he was knocked out and hasn’t woken up yet.

"Whatever, I’m going home! I’m going to water my flowers!"

But the next day, Xu Dalong’s mood, again, changed for the better.

He found that he attracted a lot of attention when he walked around.

The men, they would sneak glances at him and whisper.

"What’s going on?"

"He’s the expert who, yesterday, defeated the champion of the Yellow Character Group, you dipped into his light, and now, you’ve become a celebrity as well."

He inherited the "popularity" of yesterday’s opponent.

"Stop looking, look over there, the one in blue, he’s already looked at me twice, he’s looking at me again!"

"Can you walk faster?"

Xu Dalong, enjoying the gazes of the crowd, walked slowly.

"Over there, those girls in the corner, they seem to be talking about me."

"I see them, discussing what to eat for lunch."

At this time, a young woman with a long sword hanging from her waist, ran over and said to Xu Dalong:

"I watched your game yesterday and you played awesome! Go for it today too!"

She finished and ran off.

Xu Dalong, staring blankly at her back, was half unable to return to his senses.

"Sword Wuji."

"What’s wrong?"

"You’re not paying someone to come and gas me up, are you?"

"With your level of narcissism, I’d really like to say yes, but no."

"It really isn’t? I feel, like, like I’m dreaming."

Xu Dalong, very happy, this is the first time, a girl took the initiative to express good feelings to him.

I hope that he will remember this joy and excitement, and that this experience will be one of the most memorable memories of his life.

I hope that, later, he will be able to hold his grandson and tell him a story, and he will say, "Your grandpa me, back in the day, it was ……."

"Let’s go, go win the game!"

Perhaps because of that girl’s encouragement, Xu Dalong, who had gone all the way through the competition, finally, won the champion of the Yellow Character Group and successfully advanced to the final. The final, which would be won by the champions of each group, would be contested.

"I’m going all the way to the finals!"

Xu Dalong, had completely immersed himself in the fun of the competition, he forgot about the mission, forgot about everything. That’s right, this was in life, a rare experience, more exciting, more thrilling, more precious than becoming number one in the world. Burn, Xu Da Long!
