Chapter 0186 – It’s Not Easy, Is It – The Absolute Return

A suffocating silence enveloped the entire martial arts training ground.

Although there were no casualties, some things were really “dead”. For example, the invisible pride and self-conceit in the hearts of the Black Fist Sect members, at the moment the sword flashed, it was already gone.

The gazes that the crowd looked at me also changed radically. Awe, fear, and anger …… are all kinds of complicated emotions, intertwined together and difficult to describe.

In the end, it was the power demon who broke the silence.

“Now, do you know the power of the sword?” His voice was low and strong, with a hint of admonishment.

“Got it!” The Black Fist Sect members responded in unison, with less of the usual bravado in their voices and a little more reverence.

“In the beginning, when I taught you boxing, I wanted you to be fearless, but today, you have to understand even more, what is reverence.”

Quan Demon’s words were meaningful. He wanted his disciples to understand that in this world, there were both things that required them to stand up and be fearless, and there were also people that required them to be fearful and cautious.

“Let’s call it a day.”

After saying that, Quan Demon turned around and left. Although he tried his best to hide his emotions, I still saw a hint of unrest in his slightly hurried pace.

The Black Fist Sect members looked at each other, but no one dared to leave without authorization. They looked at me with awe in their eyes. People in the Devil Cult have always worshipped the strong and craved for power, and the strength I showed today was enough to conquer them.

As a representative, Qian Su Xi stepped forward and asked, “If you are already so powerful, why do you still want to learn boxing? Could it be that this is the pleasure of the strong?”

There was a touch of defiant stubbornness in her tone.

I understood that she didn’t mean to provoke, she was just trying to figure out why I would want to leave my close proximity and not practice the powerful sword technique in favor of coming to learn boxing.

“The way of martial arts is never-ending, and can’t be summarized by the word “fun”?” I asked rhetorically.

“Then why do you want to learn boxing?” Qian Su Xi pursued.

I looked at her, my mind racing with thoughts. I learned boxing so that one day, with a pair of iron fists, I would be able to completely shatter that cliff that trapped Quan Demon for the rest of his life.

“Just now, when I was injuring the enemy with my sword qi, my hands were wide open. If I were to encounter a truly strong person who suddenly strikes out in a sneak attack while you and I are fighting, how would I respond? The only way to make up for my shortcomings and save my life at a critical moment is to cultivate boxing.”

I looked at Chansuhee and said slowly.

Cheon Su-hee looked at me fixedly, as if she wanted to see through me and judge the truth of my words.

After I said those words, I turned around and left, leaving the Black Fist Sectarian pondering in place.

I know that my arrival has quietly changed the course of their destiny. As for what the future would hold, it would depend on their own destiny.

Late at night, I was alone in the courtyard practicing boxing.

From White Fist to Black Fist, I practiced all the moves, meticulously. I believe that only by laying a good foundation can I better learn Quan Demon’s unique boxing style.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The wind of the fists whistled, extraordinarily clear in the silent night. I was immersed in my cultivation, my heart filled with the desire for power.

“It’s late at night, why don’t you rest?”

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

I turned around, only to see that Quan Demon had appeared behind me at some point. He still had that unruffled look, contrasting with his low and magnetic voice.

I had guessed that he would come to me.

“I’m still a late starter, so naturally I have to work twice as hard to catch up with all of you senior brothers.” I said with a smile.

“Even if you double your efforts, I won’t accept you as my disciple.” Devil Quan said indifferently.

“Dare I ask what this is about?” I asked knowingly.

Quan Demon didn’t answer my question, but the look in his eyes, already said it all. He wanted to fight me, and between master and disciple, one cannot fight with swords.

“You want to fight me?” I directly picked his mind.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Power Demon, clearly not expecting that I would see through him so easily.

“I’m not going to fight you.” I shook my head, refusing his offer.

I knew that once I fought him, I would never have the chance to learn his punches.

“Why?” Demon Quan pursued.

I followed his example and didn’t answer his question, just looked at him quietly.

“Are you worried that you will lose to me?” The Power Demon seemed to understand what I meant, and there were a few hints of teasing in his tone.

Ever since he won the title of “Undefeated”, no one dared to challenge his authority, and no one would worry that he would lose to himself.

“You don’t need to worry, the martial arts you have learned are all passed down by the Sect Master himself, even if you do win against me, it’s not a disgrace.”

I heard the strings in his words and asked rhetorically, “Do you want to fight me, or do you want to win me?”

The Power Demon’s body shook slightly at my words, as if touched by them.

“What’s the difference, between the two?” He asked rhetorically.

“It seems that you’ve gotten so used to winning that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to lose.” I said lightly.

The Devil of Power didn’t say anything, he walked to me in large strides and looked at me condescendingly, his hideous and ghastly face as if he wanted to devour me.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

“The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon once said that if you want to understand a person, you have to be there when he is defeated.” I looked straight into his eyes and said slowly, “You are an ‘Undefeated’ Power Demon, so naturally you won’t accept defeat easily.”

“Do you think that I would break my promise out of fear of failure?” Quan Demon said angrily.

“If you promise to teach me boxing first, I will naturally fight you.” I threw out my conditions.

“Hmph, you’re imposing!” Devil Quan snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

“If you don’t want to lose, you should fight me first.”

His voice came from far away, echoing in the night air.

I watched his back with a small smile on my lips.

Sorry, this round, you lost.

The more obsessed you are with martial arts and the more you value the title “Undefeated”, the more unlikely you are to refuse my challenge.

I can wait, but you, you can’t.

Qian Su Xi had been paying attention to Jian Wuji’s movements.

Yesterday, he was a big hit in the competition, but today, he is still going through his black boxing training routine as if nothing has happened.

The Black Fist Sect members, however, were unable to do so without a ripple in their hearts. Each and every one of them carried injuries and put gold sores on their wounds as they once again appeared on the martial arts practicing field.

“I was yesterday, as if I had died, and today, I will start practicing again!”

Someone said loudly, his tone full of fighting spirit.

Jian Wuji was as if he hadn’t heard of all this, still immersed in his own cultivation world.

His movements, precise and smooth, and his understanding of the stances, far exceeded that of ordinary people. The Black Fist Sect members, having long since dispelled the contempt in their hearts, turned to see him as an object of learning.
