Endless Systems
Chapter 98

Not only Liu Shan, but everyone was shocked to see Hao Fenhua's ability.

“Manipulation of wind elements. Impossible, where could he learn that from?!” shouted Sheng Tong.

Element manipulation. It was common knowledge that such techniques were difficult for cultivators to master. Not only because of the high level requirements, but the abilities of the cultivators had to be able to hold a certain amount of Ki energy from the extremely swift realms.

On a cultivator's land, there were 5 main element components. These elements are wind, fire, water, earth and lightning. Of these five elements can be split into various parts, according to the control of the cultivator.

Hao Fenhua who mastered the wind element manipulation technique was something rare in the eyes of everyone within the arena. Because currently, there were only 4 cultivators known to be able to master element manipulation techniques, one of them was Qing Yao.

“Hahaha, he hid that technique from the beginning huh!” the laughter of the Khan elder.

On the other hand, Liu Shan was overwhelmed within that wind attack. Like a boomerang slash that goes back again and again after it.

Shoulders, arms, legs and face were scratched by the attack.

Sret sret!

“Ugh!

Liu Shan whose attack pattern had begun to study it. Slowly, he moved the winds to be on one track. Then,

“Smartial technique: Hot sunrise!”

The flow of Ki energy that was channeled inside one of his legs was swinging and destroying the wind attack.

When Liu Shan landed, he was surprised to see Hao Fenhua had already advanced right before his eyes.

“(Will not have time!)”

Maidservant!

“Uagh!”

His body was thrown far back. His feet held his body right at the end of the arena boundary. After receiving the attack, Liu Shan thought that Hao Fenhua would advance with one more strike. As soon as he raised his gaze forward, Liu Shan was stunned as soon as he saw Hao Fenhua standing far ahead of him quietly.

“What are you doing?” muttered Liu Shan.

“Give you a little taste of reality,” Hao Fenhua said.

His face changed in an instant. The warm smile with the jokes he often threw disappeared instantly above the arena. The gaze of the eyes sharpened, the forehead shriveled while fading a smile.

Woshis!

“Shocked? Same, me too. I didn't think I should be like this to you.”

Liu Shan was puzzled looking at him. He could only stand still while frowning.

“Fenhua, what do you mean daritadi?” muttered Liu Shan.

“You know what I mean,” said Hao Fenhua.

He lifted his arm and pointed forward.

“I don't care what your reasons are, but when you stand on the arena, we are the opponents. If you don't have ambition and hesitate to step up, why are you standing here?”

His face was slapped upon hearing those words. Both eyes suddenly opened wide with stunned bodies full of nothingness.

“People here step in to get stronger and climb higher mountains. However, your existence who wants to win with half-measure strength only tarnishes their self-esteem.”

Liu Shan gritted his teeth. Forehead shriveled while eye stare sharpened reply loudly.

“Close your mouth. You don't know what you're talking about!”

“Oh, I don't know?” suhut Hao Fenhua's.

A long breath came out of his mouth. After his body relaxed slowly, the muscles throughout his body tightened while pushing his body forward.

Grac!

“Then tell me!”

Dak!

Both of their arms collided with the energy of Ki that coated it.

Dum!

“What do I not know?! All is clearly visible with how all this goes!”

Dak dak dak!

The successive attacks they sent against each other looked to have no gaps at all. The audience was stunned while watching the fight.

Inside, two people hit each other with arguments and bodies.

The double!

“Uckh!”

However, as time went on, he realized something. Every single attack he exerted felt like a waste. Hao Fenhua was able to dodge his attacks, even throwing a counterattack.

Starting from one time, twice, three times and so on.

Maidservant!

“Uaghh!” erang Liu Shan who crashed backwards once again.

He gasps while wiping the sweat. Hao Fenhua was still standing in front.

“I don't origin speak.”

“Huh?”

Liu Shan lifted his eyes. Hao Fenhua continued his words.

“You remember the first time we fought?”

Those inside the training room exchanged attacks shortly after meeting. However, Liu Shan vividly recalled how he could adapt to Hao Fenhua's movements and abilities. Moreover, he was aware of the difference in strength he had with him.

“You know clearly that you are currently holding back. Right now, I don't think about myself being able to win or not. All I have in my head is how upset I am for you who want to win with half-measures!”

Liu Shan was stunned silent there. He was speechless other than realizing that every word Hao Fenhua was piercing right inside him.

The consideration that was in his head was so much. The existence of that mysterious system had helped its development to be very significant within the world of cultivators. He can gain strength in 3x less time than people who have put in a lot of effort in their lifetime.

However, being too strong was something heavy. The responsibilities and decisions he takes must be very careful. His encounter with one of the 4 cardinal gods, Xuan Wudan from the north made him realize that..

“I .. can't. This power comes with a payment. And I ... don't know where the limit is,” said Liu Shan.

It was the first time Hao Fenhua heard Liu Shan speak in a trembling voice. Tucked away a feeling of fear in it, like a child who does not know the dark of the world.

“(Sorry, Fenhua. Although I know my current decision is tantamount to humbling those who have fought hard to stand on the arena, but this power is far above my control. All I can do is to keep restraint so that my strength does not hurt others)”

But ….

“Do not joke!”

His screams echoed throughout the arena. Making the look on the faces of the audience who had been stunned silent, now became more and more confused at the same time.

However, this did not stop Hao Fenhua who was at the peak of emotions.

“You think I'll say ‘iya’ for your reasons?! If you want to be stronger, climb higher. Take control of your strength and step up. Don't be a coward who keeps silent to find safe!”

Hao Fenhua patted his chest and shouted,

“Fight me with all your strength, Liu Shan!”

Hao Fenhua's words sounded so loud. The entire audience inside the arena whispered in confusion as to what was going on.

And Liu Shan was still standing there with doubt. He could only look down because he could not look at Hao Fenhua after everything he said. The bitter reality that he had tried to avoid, was now wide open in the ears.

”(Sorry. I'm sorry, Fenhua. I'm sorry, Lin’er. Siyue, sis Yao, everything)”

Hao Fenhua saw Liu Shan loosening his guard, both arms slumped down while dissipating Ki energy all over his body.

The teeth become stronger. Hao Fenhua took his breath and shouted once more.

“Isn't that your strength?!”

His body stopped. Both of his eyes opened wide and raised his gaze slowly forward. Liu Shan was speechless as soon as he heard his words.

“(Of course dad is worried. But, seeing you who are trying hard is a pride for me as a parent)”

“(If your reasons are well-intentioned to protect Liu Siyue and Mingming, then I will not stop you. However, you should also understand that none of us will not worry about you. So you have to take good care of yourself)”

That was what his father said when Liu Shan broke through the boundary to increase his cultivation ability. Crossing the line to reach a higher point was indeed something frightening. However, the freedom gained is very abundant.

And so it was, Liu Shan realized everything.

Woshis!

Ting ting!
