Watching Lin Que's figure disappear into the distance, Lou Cheng suddenly laughed.
It's great that my brother-in-law has such determination!
Even if Dragon King and Warrior Sage were to break through to the Forbidden Zone in two or three years and no longer participate in the Challenge Tournament, the circle wouldn't wither away.
At that time, Kirin Dong Baxian, God-Slaying Saber Lu Yongyuan, and the other experts would be at the last but also the strongest peak. Wisdom King Zhi Hai would probably be one step further. Even if Priest and Chihuahua hadn't gotten the title yet, they would most likely be in the ranks of the super-class. In addition, there would be his brother-in-law who was chasing after him, the Clown who was working hard to become the strongest, the Living Buddha who possessed the wisdom of past eras, the Evening Light Liang Yifan, the Optimus Prime Long Zhen, and the Heaven's Equal Sword Feng Zhi in their prime. The situation would be even more exciting than it was now.
Thinking about the future, Lou Cheng's heart was in turmoil.
As his thoughts flew, he suddenly shook his head and sighed. He turned to look out of the balcony.
That kind of future was beautiful, but the present was equally important. If he couldn't snatch at least one title from Dragon King and Warrior Sage before they broke through to the Forbidden Zone, it would be such a pity.
This was the obsession of a martial artist!
Therefore, he had to seize every opportunity of a title battle!
For example, the new Warrior Sage Battle half a month from now!
…
After another morning, Lou Cheng returned to the living room after finishing his training in the Shi family's garden.
The moment he stepped through the door, he saw his master lying lazily on the sofa. In front of him were wine jars, cups, beans, peanuts, and other things.
"This life is so decadent …" Lou Cheng muttered to himself.
That was true. His master wasn't like other old people who had hobbies like planting flowers, playing cards, and fishing. He also didn't have the desire for power like the Sect Masters and Martial Uncles. His television was mostly focused on martial arts shows. All he did was laze around drinking and watching competitions. Once in a month or two, he would go to the military base to cooperate with experiments or visit his old friends.
A very unhealthy and monotonous life!
Hmm, I have to cultivate some hobbies for Master … Judging from the way he is, he probably wouldn't care even if Senior Sister and Senior Sister had a kid … There's actually a good example in this regard. Talker's father couldn't be busy because of his illness. After returning home to recuperate, he somehow fell in love with computer games. He didn't like anything else but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series … Since Master likes wine so much and doesn't lack money, he could totally participate in wine collection and appraisal activities … Lou Cheng slowed down as thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Brat, what's with your expression?" Geezer Shi was once a top-notch Physical Invulnerability expert. He turned his head abruptly and glared at his disciple.
Lou Cheng laughed dryly and said,
"I was thinking, Master, wouldn't it be too boring for you to just stay at home and drink?"
Geezer Shi snorted and said disdainfully,
"Didn't I, this old man, work so hard for most of my life just so that I can drink a little wine comfortably like this?"
"You are so thoughtful …" Lou Cheng was speechless for a moment.
After lunch, he tidied himself up, picked up his luggage, and left.
He had to prepare himself mentally and spiritually for the Warrior Sage Battle!
…
Shangqing Sect, Martial Arts Hall.
Many Inhuman Martial Artists surrounded the hall, watching the Physical Invulnerability experts perform the unique skills of the Thunder Sect.
This was their monthly benefit!
In the hall, figures crossed each other as wind and thunder danced. Only one area was calm and peaceful.
Beside the main pillar was a lounge chair. An elegant white-robed man with a Daoist hairstyle was half leaning on it. He looked extremely relaxed. He was none other than Qian Donglou, the one with the eternal title of Warrior Sage.
Of course, he had temporarily lost this title. However, he had snatched the title of King, the Heavenly King of the Thunder Sect, to deliver punishment on behalf of the heavens!
At this moment, he was squinting his eyes from the sunlight shining through the glazed roof tiles. He looked as though he would fall asleep at any moment. He didn't show any signs of joining the drill.
The Shangqing Sect disciples were already used to his behavior and turned a blind eye to it.
It was said that the reason why Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou, was able to achieve breakthroughs so quickly when he was young was because he felt that once he reached the Physical Invulnerability stage, he wouldn't be urged by his teachers and could slack off …
This mentality only changed when he met Dragon King, Chen Qitao, and was almost beaten to a pulp by him.
Unknowingly, time flew by. Peng Leyun stopped and rested for a while.
"Not bad. You're progressing fast," said Qian Donglou with a smile, looking at Lou Cheng with no proper posture.
"Phew. I'm still an unstable First Pin." The silver light around Peng Leyun flashed and sizzled.
"Very good," said Qian Donglou with a chuckle. "If I'm slow, I'll probably break through in two to one year. When that time comes, the reputation of the Shangqing Sect in the professional martial arts circle will depend on you guys. You'll be the one supporting it."
When he talked about the Forbidden Domain, he was calm and confident.
A year? I should be close to the super-class in a year … I can compete with Lou Cheng again … Peng Leyun nodded thoughtfully. Shortly after, he thought of something else.
I've been working hard to modify the unique skills of the Thunder Sect with modern physics research, but to no avail …
Thunder and electricity have been clearly separated. Electricity is an electromagnetic wave, a manifestation of one of the four fundamental forces. The weak interaction force and electromagnetic force have long been unified …
Hmm. I'll probably be poor for ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime on this path of modification …
As he pondered, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body. Shortly after, he woke up.
"You're in a daze again," said Qian Donglou with certainty and not doubt as he got up slowly.
The surrounding electric sparks suddenly became active with his movements. This was why Peng Leyun was "woken up".
"Thinking about something," answered Peng Leyun honestly. However, he noticed that Qian Donglou's expression was full of disbelief.
A person who was used to daydreaming didn't need an excuse.
Peng Leyun didn't try to explain.
Instead, he asked, "Martial Uncle, are you going to train?"
Qian Donglou smiled. "Yeah. I have to be more serious."
At this point, he stretched his neck and added a few words of explanation.
"I should break through earlier than Chen Qitao. Heh. I can't let him surpass me and become the one with the most titles when I'm in the Forbidden Zone and not participating in title matches. I have to take advantage of the next one or two years to get more titles and widen the gap. Anyway, he's only a year or so behind me."
He's really calculative … Especially when compared to Dragon King … Peng Leyun didn't want to tease his Martial Uncle.
Now, Qian Donglou was firmly in first place with 23 titles. Dragon King Chen Qitao and Queen of Thought Fei Dan were tied for second place with 20 titles each. King of Swords Wu Qiao was in fourth place with 19 titles.
However, with Chen Qitao's strength, it would only take him a year or so to surpass Queen of Thought.
Peng Leyun retracted his gaze and looked around the hall. Seeing Yun Yan, Ming He, and the other Physical Invulnerability experts practicing, he took a deep breath and rejoined the ranks.
I feel like I'm missing someone … He frowned slightly and threw this thought to the back of his mind.
…
Hexi City, Kongtong Hotel, 33rd floor.
As it was within the sect's territory, Ren Li had entered a week earlier. She wanted to use the gradually bustling atmosphere of the Warrior Sage Battle to train her mind and make sufficient preparations.
After returning from Jiuwen Dojo, she took a special elevator with her assistant and returned to her residence.
Walking along the thickly carpeted corridor, the cute little assistant couldn't help but steal a glance at her Martial Uncle. Kongtong School had a tradition that had only been around for a few decades. It was to use juniors with mediocre mentors with potential as assistants of Physical Invulnerability experts. This was to change them every two years so that they could be influenced by what they see and hear. They would be able to see things from a high vantage point and receive guidance from the experts.
Phew, Martial Uncle Ren already has the strength of a First Pin at such a young age. She has a high winning rate against those of the same level. She also occasionally succeeds in challenges. By the end of the year, she will most likely have a First Pin certificate … Moreover, she can occasionally defeat Martial Granduncle Qi and Martial Uncle Feng when sparring within the sect … She is indeed a Heavenly Son of the era and a future Mighty One with a title … The little assistant's eyes sparkled as she thought. Suddenly, she heard an abnormal beeping sound.
She looked up and saw Ren Li standing in front of a door. She swiped her room card again and again but still couldn't open it. She looked lost and was biting her lips slightly, as though she had been wronged.
Seeing her assistant look over, Ren Li nodded solemnly.
"The room card is broken!"
The assistant was stunned for a second. She immediately raised her head and looked at the room number. Then, she covered her face and said,
"Martial Uncle, this isn't your room."
One ending with an 8, and the other ending with an 0. How could I get it wrong?
I just got distracted for a moment. How did it become like this?
"I see …" Ren Li suddenly understood and said confidently, "I was wondering why I couldn't open it!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked away. Then, she was pulled back by her assistant and silently pointed to the other side.
After the matter was corrected, the real door was in sight. The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and said half-jokingly, "Martial Uncle Ren, the door was closed.
"Martial Uncle Ren, it's a good thing that the door to the room is closed. Otherwise, what if there's an overbearing president inside?"
"Someone once said this to me." Ren Li's memory was evoked.
"Then what did you say?" the little assistant asked curiously.
"I forgot. If it was now, he would do whatever he wanted." Ren Li replied calmly, "I would throw him out of the window."
Scary … The little assistant reached out to take the room card and opened the door to the suite.
As soon as she entered, she followed Ren Li's habit and turned on the television to a special channel.
There was a program on the screen, and the guest commentator said passionately,
"The challenge of this competition is to see who can stop the Warrior Sage.
"We have listed four candidates. Based on their performance over the past year, they are the best of the best.
"They are Kirin Dong Baxian, God-Slaying Saber Lu Yongyuan, Wisdom King Zhi Hai, and Sky-Shaking Hou Lou Cheng, who wants the title of God King!
