Geezer Shi sighed and was about to roll down the car window to take a breath of fresh air when he noticed Lou Cheng was staring at him with a complicated expression. "Brat, what are you thinking about?" Geezer Shi said in annoyance.
Lou Cheng's mood was quite heavy at this time. At first, he just thought that his master was old and had an old problem of coughing, so it was inevitable that there would be a little bit of backlash after showing off his martial prowess. He would be fine after some time. After he got on the car and chatted with his senior sister for a while, he realized that his master's physical condition was very bad and the problem was quite serious.
In modern society, it was common for ordinary people to live more than 70 years. However, a Mighty One of physical invulnerability who was in his early 60s could only live for seven or eight years!
Thinking of this, Lou Cheng recalled his master's figure walking with his hands behind his back in the Brutal Snowstorm. How could he not feel sad and depressed?
However, Senior Martial Sister said that Master is the most prideful. According to my daily observation, this is also the case. Therefore, I can't look at him sympathetically, and I can't say anything like a little girl crying … He thought for a while and squeezed out a smile.
"I was thinking about what happened just now. I always knew you were very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Like a fairy, you made the snow fall in August without even waving your hand …"
Geezer Shi beamed with joy at once. He chuckled and said "humbly", "I can't, I can't. Back then, I didn't need to borrow the power of the Ice Essence Bead. I could do it easily."
Brat, you finally got ahold of me!
Shi Yuejian shook her head with a smile. She drove the car into the villa area and parked it in her garage.
After opening the door and entering the house, she changed into slippers and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, help yourself. I won't treat you as a guest. I'm going to make a bowl of pear soup with rock sugar for your master."
After that, she saw Lou Cheng's slightly surprised eyes. She tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? What's so strange? "
"No, nothing. I just didn't expect a Mighty One of physical invulnerability to cook in person." Lou Cheng explained with a smile.
"It's my hobby. I like to do these things. If I didn't have the talent for martial arts, I would probably be a chef or a pastry chef." Shi Yuejian chuckled and walked to the open kitchen.
"Remember to lower the temperature when you're done stewing. How are you going to drink it if it's not cold in summer?" Geezer Shi shouted at his daughter's back.
Lou Cheng was about to volunteer to complete the task with his supernatural ability of frost when he heard Shi Yuejian say with a helpless smile, "Yes, yes, yes. I'll help you freeze with Ice Spirit Force."
Well, as expected of a Physical Invulnerability expert of the Ice Sect. I won't show off in front of an expert … Lou Cheng wiped his non-existent cold sweat and sat on the sofa opposite Geezer Shi. He asked with concern, "Master, is there any progress in the research of cultivation?"
If there was, he might be able to comprehend by analogy and lay a solid foundation for finding a way to treat his master in the future.
"There's not much progress. If there was, would those old men have been able to hold themselves back from calling me to show off?" Geezer Shi replied with a look of disdain, "Well, I'm going to the military's secret base tomorrow, so I thought I'd drop by and get some information for you. Hehe, I've made contributions to the military, so they give me a checkup every year. I was supposed to go there two days ago, but you were such a troublemaker. You won the Youth Tournament and even let your Sect Master know about it."
Regular checkup? Lou Cheng suddenly recalled his earliest conversation with his master. His master had said, "Do the work of being studied."
Just as he was trying to hold back his laughter, Geezer Shi shook his head and coughed twice.
"You've chosen this path of mixed cultivation, so every step you take in the future will be harder than usual. I can only give you some advice based on my experience and knowledge. It's okay before you reach Physical Invulnerability, but after that, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I understand, Master." Lou Cheng took a deep breath.
This was the inevitable price he had to pay for not giving up his biggest advantage.
Geezer Shi was serious for less than a minute before he clicked his tongue and said, "That's not necessarily a bad thing. Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. You may be talented, but that's only in comparison to the average martial artist. You're nothing compared to the truly talented martial artists who only appear once in hundreds or thousands of years. For example, Warrior Sage Qian Donglou, Daxing Temple's Zhi Hai, Shangqing Sect's Peng Leyun, and your master …"
"If you practice normally, the speed of your improvement can be predicted, but the height you can reach in the future will not exceed the range of estimation. It's hard to have any surprises. How can you catch up with the people in front of you? As for the current path, it's full of variables, but there's hope when there's variables. "
"Sigh, it's hard to say. If you follow the path of martial arts practice honestly, you may have great achievements. You're quite like the Dragon King."
He didn't mention the Reincarnated Living Buddha of Daxing Temple, Shi Shan.
In the kitchen, Shi Yue was dissatisfied. She protested, "Dad, how is Junior Brother like the Dragon King?"
She had just finished boiling the pear and pear soup. She washed her hands and walked back to the living room. "The Dragon King's desire for victory is so abnormal. How is Junior Brother like him?"
"Hey, the Dragon King's desire for victory is more than abnormal. It's extremely abnormal." Geezer Shi didn't refute.
As a fan of the Dragon King, Lou Cheng was interested.
"Senior Sister, can you tell me more about the Dragon King?"
The reporters' interviews and the TV broadcast made the Dragon King's image appear blurry. As the main force of the Wuyue Club, as a Mighty One with physical invulnerability in the upper class of the martial arts circle, and as an opponent who often dealt with the Dragon King, his Senior Sister's impression of the Dragon King might be more realistic.
Shi Yue keenly sensed the change in his attitude. She laughed and said, "You're an admirer of the Dragon King? This weekend, our Wuyue Club is going to the south to challenge the Longhu Club. Although I may not be able to fight with him, I can introduce you to him after the match. How about it? Do you want to go? The Dragon King is quite kind to his fans. He's quite nice. "
Lou Cheng was excited. But thinking that he had asked for leave for several days, he resisted the temptation. "I have to go to work the day after tomorrow. I can't always ask for leave after taking money from others. Senior Sister, I won't stand on ceremony. If there's a chance in the future, take me with you. Anyway, the Dragon King won't run away."
After getting the 600,000 yuan bonus, the part-time salary seemed to be dispensable. However, the Youth Tournament championship was a product of coincidence. He had never expected to get it before. Since he had promised the Gushan Martial Arts School, he couldn't go back on his word. He had to do what he said.
A man's promise was worth a thousand gold!
"Well, Junior Brother, you have self-control. I suddenly feel that you are a little like the Dragon King." Shi Yue nodded with emotion. Then she said, "So you have to go back to Xing Province tomorrow? Your brother-in-law is on a business trip abroad and won't be back for several days. We can only meet next time. This is too rushed. I don't know what the Sect Leader Martial Uncle is thinking. "
Lou Cheng talked about this topic for a while and then returned to the previous matter. He thought about the implication of his Senior Sister's words.
"The Dragon King is very kind to his fans. What about other martial artists?"
In the mouth of the Dragon King's anti-fans and in many gossip news, "Dragon King" Chen Qitao was a contradictory person with both pride and inferiority. He was vain, harsh, overbearing, and narrow-minded.
Shi Yuejian pondered for a moment before replying, "As I said just now, the Dragon King has an almost perverted desire for victory. Such a kung fu master will be very kind to his teammates and fellow disciples in some aspects, but he will also be very harsh and inhumane in other aspects. But when it comes to enemies and opponents, he won't accept any failure. Once he is in a bad situation and loses to his opponent, you can't expect him to be kind to you and show you the demeanor of a master."
"Especially if he wins against the Warrior Sage at the same time, he will definitely be angry. He cares a lot about the outside world's evaluation, especially the comparison with the Warrior Sage."
"But I have to admit that he's an admirable martial artist. No matter how much we hate his Physical Invulnerability, we can't deny this fact. In our eyes, it's a well-known fact that the Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou, only appears once in a thousand years. He's a genius who can surpass all the other martial artists of his generation. It's shocking for others to reach the Physical Invulnerability stage at 23 or 24, but he's already reached the First Pin level at 24 and obtained his first title."
"There is a big gap between the Dragon King's talent and his. In order to catch up with the Warrior Sage and not be a loser, he has put in a lot of effort and hardships. You can't imagine."
Geezer Shi clicked his tongue and said, "I know about this. At least I fought with the Dragon King, no, Chen Qitao for a while."
"Ah? Master, when was that? "Lou Cheng was at a loss.
As a die-hard fan of the Dragon King, how can I not know?
Geezer Shi chuckled and said, "You should remember that one year, cough cough, Chen Qitao almost disappeared. He didn't participate in many Challenge Tournaments and announced that he was recuperating."
"I remember that the Dragon King hadn't won any titles back then." Lou Cheng vaguely guessed the whole story.
"A year ago, he made it to the final stage of several major title competitions but lost to Qian Donglou without exception. The media, who thought that the Legendary Twins were hyping him up, were disappointed. They published articles saying that he wasn't qualified to be called the Warrior Sage." Shi Yuejian answered on behalf of her father. "This greatly affected the Dragon King. He changed his mind and applied to go to the war-torn zones. He put his life on the line and honed himself on the edge of life and death for ten months. When he came back, he defeated Qian Donglou three times and won three titles in a year."
Geezer Shi leaned back in his seat and said in a reminiscing tone, "Chen Qitao was already a first-pin fighter back then. Originally, his room for improvement was very limited. But, tsk, you didn't see how crazy he was back then. In the end, he actually transformed completely."
Hearing about the Dragon King's past, Lou Cheng was fascinated and a little excited.
This was how a martial artist should be!
"Hehe, Qian Donglou was my junior. But after he won a title, he had to respectfully call him the Warrior Sage. He had a lot of genius flaws. He didn't work hard enough. You could even say that he was lazy. He didn't stand when he could sit or lie down when he could. In the beginning, he relied on his desire for a title to maintain his diligence. After he made a name for himself, he felt that he could win easily and became more and more relaxed. At this time, the Dragon King appeared and beat him until he almost lost all his confidence. It wasn't easy for him to pull himself together and make the most of his talent," Geezer Shi said excitedly.
"You could say that without the Dragon King's stimulation, he wouldn't be so close to becoming the Warrior Sage now. And without the Warrior Sage as a target to catch up with, the Dragon King wouldn't have reached his current state. He deserves to be called the Legendary Twins." Shi Yuejian sighed again.
Lou Cheng listened with great interest. His blood was boiling.
Was this the real Dragon King and the real Warrior Sage?
After lunch, Geezer Shi led him to the second floor. He took out two visualization diagrams and made a joke.
"These are the 'Prairie Fire Painting' and the 'Zhurong Painting'. You can take them back with you, but if you lose them, I won't take the blame for you. I'll figure out a way to make up for it and repay the debt."
"Thank you, Master." Lou Cheng didn't mind Geezer Shi's joke. Holding back his excitement, he took the visualization diagrams. One of them was full of flames of various colors. Just by looking at it, he felt like he was beside a sea of molten iron. The other one was of a Fire God with the body of a beast and the face of a man standing on a red dragon. He was violent and suppressing the flames.
Seeing him like this, Geezer Shi, who was standing at the side, put his hands behind his back and walked to the door. He stopped there, coughed, and said casually,
"Brat, send the videos you took to my email."
"Huh?" Lou Cheng looked at his master blankly.
