The Eternal System
System 12: The Lian Ping Challenge
Seeing Li Chen coming with a welcome in the form of a deadly attack left Lian Ping stunned in silence. Even the energy Ki exuded in his body and the look in his eyes actually made Lian Ping freeze in fear.
“(Di-dia... was he the old Li Chen?! A trashy human who can't cultivate?!)” inner Lian Ping
On the other hand, Li Chen who was staring intently at Lian Ping back asked him.
“Lian Ping, I'm asking you one more time. Which part of the dirty hand is touching Li Jia?!”
The aura from his Ki energy was increasingly emanated strongly and even made Lian Ping even more daunted. While Li Jia who saw Li Chen was so worried about him felt stunned as well as afraid of his terrible attitude.
“Ka...grandfather...”.
Shortly after, Lian Ping tried to get back up on her feet with her body trembling as the pain spread rapidly.
“Ackh! Li Chen... How dare you attack me!” grouse Lian Ping
“Lian Ping's. That's not the answer I've been waiting for!” li Chen's
The pressure and Ki from him were increasingly emanating strongly. Even from that Ki energy it turned into a gripping air and an unstoppable killing intent centered on Lian Ping.
Lian Ping who sensed the danger immediately jumped back before the servants he had brought in to avoid Li Chen.
“(Tch! Since when can he cultivate again?! My plan to marry Li jia could fail if this brat of a bitch gets in my way!)”
From that inner being, Lian Ping realized something. He grinned widely when he thought of a devious plan that had been imagined in his brain. While Li Chen who saw him with a cunning face did not care as if nothing could stop his anger.
“What are you planning?” ask Li Chen
“Li Chen, it seems that you are very reluctant to let me to marry your sister” said Lian Ping
“Lian Ping, a rotten man like you doesn't deserve happiness. You deceive many for your own desire to be fulfilled. And when you've targeted my sister, you won't be able to just walk away!” threaten Li Chen
Highlight the eyes that followed with a fierce Ki gushing towards him. However, Lian Ping raised one of his fingers as if to say to hold back first.
“Wah wow, that's scary! How about I give you an offer?”
Not only Li Chen, even his family standing behind heard him slightly stunned.
“That's enough, Lian Ping. Your rotten buy will no longer be useful!”
Li Tao himself was already unable to bear Lian Ping's bragging and snapped at him. However, it was sudden that Li Chen raised his left arm right in front of his father's chest as if telling him to stay calm.
“Dad, relax”
Hearing the remark from his son made Li Tao try to calm down temporarily. While Li Chen again drew his gaze towards Lian Ping.
“Bicara” says Li Chen
“Since you don't want to let go of Li Jia to marry me, then let's bet. In one more month's time, we will be holding a fight in the middle of Feng's city. You and me, one on one. If you win, then I won't bother Li Jia and the Li family anymore. But, if I win, then you must hand over your sister to marry and obey my every will!” lian Ping
Hearing the offer made the entire Li Chen family members shocked and refused simultaneously.
“Omong empty! You just want to use Li Jia. Moreover, the fight will not be a draw. You who are a four-star elite fighter will be one-sided in fighting Li Chen!” snapped Li Tao
“Absolutely. You intend to cheat!” sahut Yaoyao
“Hah, how come it's cheating? I've given Li Chen a month to improve his abilities. If he loses that day, then his fault is because of his unpaid training and he is indeed weak!” sahut Lian Ping's
None of his family members accepted the challenge. Li Jia who was standing behind Li Chen pulled her clothes to the point of making Li Chen look back.
“Sister, don't accept that challenge. These are all Lian Ping traps!”
Li Jia pleaded with Li Chen not to accept his challenge. The wide-open eyes were inundated by the tears that were held to come out. Li Chen who saw this did not increasingly obey Li Jia's wishes. Rather he increasingly wanted to free Li Jia from Lian Ping's interference.
He changed his gaze as if not answering Li Jia's plea. He looked towards Lian Ping and opened his mouth without hesitation.
“I accept your challenge” said Li Chen
From one sentence consisting of three words it could make all members of his family surprised from Li Chen's answer.
“Kakak!” yao Yaoyao shouted
“My son, what are you thinking?!” ling Yao Suh
On the other hand, Lian Ping who got the answer also grinned widely because Li Chen had danced on his palm.
“(Khuhu, got you!)”
"But I want one more condition. If I win, then I will decide on the hand you previously wanted to touch Li Jia!"
“Good. Then one more month, we will meet in the arena of downtown Feng. I hope you are ready to accept your defeat, Li Chen!”
Lian Ping turned around and told her servants to come back with her. Those who had already left the Li residence made feelings of worry soar high from every member of the Li Chen family.
Mother, father, Li jia and Yaoyao strongly disapproved of his selfish decision.
“Sister, what are you doing?!” snapped Li Jia
“LI Jia, do you think I'd be silent to see you being bullied by her?” li Chen's
“I can protect myself! Lian Ping won't be able to touch or force me! But brother... brother even involved himself with a fight not a draw like this!” refute Li Jia
Li Chen understood that feeling of worry. And to make them believe it would be extremely difficult for him, especially Li Chen had just gained his cultivation ability again. However, he could not retract his words. Rice had become porridge, he had to go through what he decided.
“This is my own decision. Don't burden yourself. So are father, mother and Yaoyao. I'll definitely win. You don't have to worry”
Li Chen put a thin smile on his face so as not to worry about them. He walked past them after saying this and went back to his room.
The entire family, including the mother who saw Li Jia was completely devastated by her brother's decision to try to comfort her.
“Li Jia, don't burden yourself like this. Your brother made this rash decision to protect you”
“But... she doesn't need to! I can fight and I don't have to be protected at all times. His decision this time really will only feel like suicide!”
Ling Yao hugged her daughter gently.
“Trust your brother. He can definitely get through this”
From that remark, Ling Yao herself was simply trying to calm her daughter down. He himself felt extremely frightened and trembled whenever he thought of the fight time of Li Chen and Lian Ping who were a month away.
