The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 152 — Indifferent Attitude or Pride?
Zhong Xia growled resentfully inwardly, then changed his expression 180°.
“Pardon my previous act of insolence.” Zhong Xia said in a 'sincere' apologetic tone'. But Lian Haocun knew, there was no sincerity in Zhong Xia's eyes when he said that.
Lian Haocun did not respond to Zhong Xia's apology, he only gave a brief nod to the security guard protecting him, then went straight towards the receptionist.
There was a commotion as Lian Haocun casually passed through the crowd without any guilt. The reason, Lian Haocun's actions earlier, could be said to be very haughty, regardless of whether Zhong Xia's apology statement was sincere or not. Zhong Xia was still an elder disciple who was respected by all the members of the Jade Wolf Sect.
But, of course, Lian Haocun did not care what others thought of him, he queued for a while, before starting the next match. This time, Lian Haocun did not challenge someone with the highest rank in the district, he was challenging someone with platinum rank.
The few people watching Lian Haocun and Zhong Xia's match, watched Lian Haocun's next match with great interest. Unfortunately, because of Lian Haocun's opponents who could be said to be average, there was no truly amazing and fun fight to watch. Over time, a group of people interested in seeing Lian Haocun's abilities, went and watched another match in the district.
When Lian Haocun finished the match for so many times, the attention of the many people addressed to him had already disappeared a lot. The uproar and commotion caused by Lian Haocun and Zhong Xia's fight slowly began to dissipate, but it created a hole for Zhong Xia's perfect reputation.
Without the happy face that a victor should have, Lian Haocun walked out of the ring and headed for the reception desk. Because it was almost afternoon, the golden district was not as crowded as before. Without needing to queue again, Lian Haocun regained his points card.
“Your current rating is eight-star platinum, you need three more stars to rank up to emerald. For the next fight please go to the platinum district. Thank you for visiting golden district, take care of yourself.” Speak to the officer with a professional attitude.
Lian Haocun nodded his head in understanding, then his eyes began to explore the ring-ring in the golden district. In any case before that he had come with Qian Wenwu, and had to return with Qian Wenwu as well. Otherwise, perhaps Lian Haocun would be scolded by her twin sister.
The weapons used by Qian Wenwu were rather unique, and not common. It was a stick from bamboo. Qian Wenwu moved the staff as if it was a sharp spear weapon. Lian Haocun could also feel the authority of Qian Wenwu when using the stick to attack the opponent.
‘Pretty interesting. It's only natural that he can reach gold that easily.’ Inner Lian Haocun while watching Qian Wenwu fight.
As predicted by Lian Haocun, Qian Wenwu won quite easily. After Qian Wenwu came out of the ring, his figure that looked firm and dignified, was replaced with a figure that looked timid and humble.
Lian Haocun walked over to Qian Wenwu who had just come out of the ring, and in a flat tone, said in praise, “Good ability.”
During the fight earlier, Qian Wenwu had never used his element once, which meant, he had purely won the match with his bamboo stick! Of course, defeating a pure opponent with a weapon alone has proven the ability of the person in controlling the weapon.
Qian Wenwu lowered her head timidly, and with a slightly flushed face, she said stammeredly, "T-accept ka-sih..."
After all, this was the first time that Qian Wenwu had received praise from someone other than Yun Shao, so he was somewhat surprised, although Lian Haocun's tone of voice was not like someone who had uttered a compliment, Qian Wenwu felt more confident.
Lian Haocun and Qian Wenwu agreed to return, and looked for Lian Huanran, Long Yuan, and Yun Shao. After finding the three of them, together with Bai and Cheng, they returned to the dormitory to rest. Naturally, only Lian Haocun continued his activities by cultivating.
Without notice, three days passed as fast as the water flowed, and the day of the appointment with Shen Nong arrived.
