Endless Systems
Chapter 41

Guan Liu who saw the gaze was suddenly cast by the shadow of death inside his head.

Hao Fenhua who was standing next to him walked up behind him and patted his shoulders. His face that was still smiling was wide and friendly, contrary to what he said in Guan Liu's ears.

“I just met him. So don't expect that I can persuade him not to kill you”

Hao Fenhua's words made Guan Liu even more frightened. His gasping breath made his body tremble even more in fear.

Hao Fenhua took both hands off his shoulders and took a step back as if to get away from Guan Liu.

“Hopefully”

That doesn't sound like support. But a sad farewell to Guan Liu. He who heard this immediately encouraged his two followers to come forward.

Buk up!

“Aah!”

Both his followers groaned in fear as well as surprise. Simultaneously, they turned their heads in the same direction where Guan Liu was pushing them from behind.

“Tu-lord?!”

“Install your bodies and kill him!”

“Ta-but, sir-!”

“Do as I say! Your lives are no more important than mine. Use your lives to protect me!”

A sentence that shows the true nature of humans when in a cornered situation. Liu Shan himself who saw that happening before his eyes, became recalling his old life.

Although in earlier life more modern and has laws that limit human behavior, but such things never disappear.

In the life he was in as director, Liu Shan had seen many people trying to sell off mistakes to others. Throwing them into the abyss so that themselves can improve the quality of life and earn a lot of money.

Same with the cultivation world that is now occupied by him. A lot of money, had almost the same value as high cultivation strength. The more and more powerful they are, the more they will be feared and respected by others.

While Liu Shan who saw that was already very fed up. He scrunched his face and stared intently at Guan Liu. His anger was unleashed with rapid movements that made him appear right in front of Guan Liu, and passed through the two followers standing in front of him.

[ Skill : Sprint has been activated ]

[Speed and agility status has been increased to +50 points ]

The skill that helped him move quickly was unobtainable to the eye. Be it the eyes of Guan Liu and his followers, or Hao Fenhua himself who saw from afar.

Their eyes widened as if they could not believe what they saw. While Liu Shan who was standing right in front of Guan Liu did not hesitate to pull back his fist which was coated in Ki energy.

“You hit me, maybe I can tolerate it. But, if you don't value the lives of others, then don't blame fate if karma picks you up!”

His breathing stopped, his gaze blank as if resigned to fate. Liu Shan who was in the middle of swinging a fist full of Ki flow like death had come to pick Guan Liu up before his eyes.

Hao Fenhua alone who saw Ki's flow could tell that Liu Shan was not holding back his ability.

And when the fist swing almost landed right on his face, came another stream of Ki energy that shot out quickly and resisted Liu Shan's attack in between.

TWOARS!

The powerful explosion from that clash of different Ki energies sent everyone around him crashing backwards. Guan Liu and his two followers, as well as Hao Fenhua who was almost carried away by the explosion.

Liu Shan who swung his fist straight was still staring intently forward. Ki's blasts flaring around him began to subside, revealing what had withstood his attack.

And there, Liu Shan saw Qing Yao holding her fist with one palm. The tight fist from his hand was held by Qing Yao as if it would not be released.

With a serious gaze that headed straight into Liu Shan's angry eyes, Qing Yao tried to calm him down.

“Liu Shan, lower your fist!”

Qing Yao tried to persuade Liu Shan with that ferocious look. While Liu Shan himself still thought fed up with Guan Liu's jerk attitude. However, the one he was facing right now was Qing Yao.

The woman who had come invited him into the academy, even more so the figure that Liu Shan admired when coming to the world. For that reason, Liu Shan pulled back his fist and eliminated all of Ki's threatening energy.

Qing Yao let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Shan was able to calm down easily. But, there was something that looked like it was being held back by Qing Yao. His lips puckered as if he was enduring the pain.

And it turned out, the pain was coming from his palm that was holding Liu Shan's punch. The palm of his right hand looked like it was slightly burned and had such a heavy bruise.

“(Uckh! I can't believe the blow could hurt like this. Isn't he still a four-star general fighter? So where did all that great energy come from?!)”

Qing Yao deepened the confusion as she who had risen to become a three-star master fighter, was able to obtain injuries and even felt pain from the attack of a four-star general fighter like Liu Shan.

Everyone nearby ran around and gathered to see what was happening there. A look of astonishment and a whisper full of confusion came from the left and right. Before long, Liu Siyue came from within the crowd and looked in surprise at her brother who was in the middle.

“Kakak?!” muttered Liu Siyue.

“Liu Siyue?” muttered Liu Shan who was aware of his sister's whereabouts behind.

Shortly after, from the crowd it began to shift and give a path. From the middle of that road, appeared the person who had the highest authority within the academy. That person was elder Xiao Khan.

He walked past the two Guan Liu followers who stood up, and approached where Liu Shan was standing.

“What happened here?” ask the elder Khan.

Liu Shan, Qing Yao and also Hao Fenhua instantly bowed respectfully to the Khan elder.

“Chairman Khan, sorry that you have to see something like this” Liu Shan said.

“Qing Yao did not look after and teach the disciple that Qing Yao brought, sorry for this embarrassing sight, elder Khan,” Qing Yao continued.

“I'm not asking you to apologize. I just ask for an explanation,” said elder Khan in a calm tone.

At that time, Guan Liu suddenly lifted his body and shouted back the facts.

“Te-old Khan! He tried to kill me. I came to train in this place, but he prevented and kicked me out. Saying that I, Guan Liu have no right to train in the same place as him!”

Obviously, that speech is a lie. And for those who witnessed it, including Liu Shan, Qing Yao, Hao Fenhua and even the two Guan Liu followers themselves were stunned to see how cowardly Guan Liu was.

However, none of them opened their mouths. Even elder Khan himself only sighed and raised one hand parallel to the head.

“Alright, it looks like it's just a small matter. Everything is dispersed, this is not a spectacle.”

From the words of elder Khan, all the disciples immediately turned around hesitantly because they were still curious about what was going to happen.

When the place started to quiet down, elder Khan walked over to Liu Shan and Qing Yao who were still bowing respectfully side by side.

“Two of you, raise your heads,” said elder Khan.

“Good, elder Khan,” both said.

“Qing Yao, you bring this child back with you,” said elder Khan.

Hearing that from behind made Guan Liu refuse loudly.

“Can't! Elder Khan, are you just going to let go of this child?! He almost wants to kill-!”

Guan Liu's words stopped in the middle when he saw the gaze of elder Khan who was full of friendly smiles, but released a radiance of Ki energy that was so gripping. His mouth was tightly shut and cold sweat started pouring down from his head.

While the elder Khan himself drew his gaze back on Liu Shan and Qing Yao.

“Go,” said elder Khan.

“Understood, elder Khan. Liu Shan, come,” said Qing Yao as she took Liu Shan away with her.

Hao Fenhua, who saw Liu Shan leave, ran after him after saluting the elder Khan.

When they had walked away, elder Khan looked back at Guan Liu.

“And Guan Liu,” said elder Khan.

“I-iya sir?!” he said with a stoop of fear

“I know what you're doing. So don't even try to lie to me.”

There was no intention and not even an aura suppressing him, yet Guan Liu was already instantly frightened before the Khan elder who said that. Although he was still upset with Liu Shan, he still loved his life and still bowed respectfully to the elder Khan to cover it up.

“A-I understand, elder Khan. Forgive me!” guan Liu said.

“Already, go take care of yourself if there is a wound,” said elder Khan

“Good, elder Khan!”

Guan Liu dashed around and covered his face, gritting his teeth in annoyance.

While the elder Khan who was left alone there let out a long sigh as if he looked tired.

“Haahh .. Young people or old people, they still look down on each other. When can this world be at peace?”
