Chapter 272: Double the Conceitedness

“Ugh—”

Ling Ao lay weakly on the world stage, face down and unable to maneuver whilst a number of disciples from the Corridor of Alchemy rigorously carried him down.

The exhaustion from burning his blood was intense. Even with a dragon’s robust restoration skills, it might take time to heal, particularly since his physique was nonetheless essentially that of a frail human.

Previous Man Sikong, leaning on his cane, approached Ling Ao and gently positioned a hand on his shoulder.

Ling Ao felt a heat surge of qi stream into his meridians, soothing the ache in his limbs and bones from his excessive frailty. Nevertheless, the deep-seated weak point in his blood continued. This must heal step by step by itself.

“Esteemed trainer…” he murmured, unwilling to carry his head, “I’ve allow you to down.”

“Foolish youngster,” Previous Man Sikong mentioned with a smile, patting his head. “Making it to the highest 4 is already sufficient to fulfill me. The one factor you’ve got let down is your individual ambition.”

Ling Ao stayed quiet, maintaining his head bowed.

Previous Man Sikong mentioned no extra, letting Ling Ao stroll away in his dejection as he himself returned to the spectator stand.

It wasn’t that he did not care about his disciple. He knew Ling Ao was prideful and impressive, and any further consideration at this second of failure would solely make him really feel extra dejected.

This was important coaching for strengthening one’s character and mindset. It was one thing he needed to overcome on his personal.

“Haha, your disciple did properly! This solely disciple of yours made it to the highest 4. However why does he look so unhappy? Did you scold him?” Di Nufeng, who sat subsequent to Previous Man Sikong on the spectator stand, requested.

“Why would I scold him?” replied Previous Man Sikong. “He is simply struggling to just accept the failure himself.”

“Your disciple continues to be not so good as mine,” Di Nufeng mentioned, shaking her head.

“Hah, your disciple’s possibilities of successful aren’t that nice both,” Previous Man Sikong chuckled with out getting offended.

“I am not speaking about successful or dropping,” Di Nufeng replied. “Belief me, even when my disciple spouted conceited phrases and was crushed in defeat, he would nonetheless step down from the stage with a foolish smile, not taking the defeat to coronary heart.”

Is not that simply being shameless? Why are you so happy with this? Previous Man Sikong blinked, considering to himself.

In fact, as an outdated man who had cultivated for a number of hundred years, he knew that this type of character was additionally a type of energy.

Within the lengthy journey of cultivation, who would win each battle? Since historical occasions, the really highly effective have had the trait of not being defeated by failure.

I hope Ling Ao can get by this. Previous Man Sikong thought to himself.

…

Ling Ao walked by himself to a nook of the mountain wall outdoors the general public sq. on Heaven-Reaching Peak. He sat down, leaned in opposition to the rock, and gazed on the sky.

WHY?

Should I’ve cultivation aptitude to win?

He had joined Mount Shu at a really younger age and had been following Previous Man Sikong ever since. His trainer’s analysis of him was that he had above-average aptitude. With a lifetime of diligent effort and maybe a unprecedented encounter, he may be capable of contact upon the Nice Dao.

As for prodigies like Jiang Yuebai, she had been showered with nice expectations since childhood and was destined to turn out to be a future chief of the Mount Shu Sect.

However Ling Ao refused to just accept this destiny.

Why was his life decided to be inferior from the very begin?

With the dedication to excel, he devoted himself to cultivation, striving to compete with others. Since attaining the Physique Refinement Realm, he had set his sights on matching the prodigies, utilizing them as benchmarks to push himself.

Within the first realm, he might nonetheless sustain with them, however by the second realm, the hole widened. By the third realm, he had fallen to this point behind that he could not even see their backs on this race.

To show that he was not weaker than anybody!

Then, Jiang Yuebai shattered his desires effortlessly with an immortal artwork.

Anybody with a watch might see that she was maintaining the engagement solely to hide her skills. Together with her cultivation and divine strategies, it would not have been tough for her to defeat him if she had gone all out.

She did not even take out her enchanted device.

And all his painstaking preparations appeared like a joke.

Was one’s destiny really predestined?

Simply as he was sighing in despair, a determine in white robes all of a sudden appeared in entrance of him.

“Junior Brother Ling, it is only a minor defeat. Why are you so disheartened?” the particular person requested with concern.

“What?” Ling Ao appeared up and requested.

“I’ve an concept that offers you an opportunity to turn out to be the top disciple of Mount Shu. Are you ?”

…

“Senior Brother Xu will win!”

“Senior Brother Xu will win!”

“Senior Brother Xu will win!”

When Xu Ziyang stepped onto the stage, chants of assist and cheers erupted throughout, sounding just like the wind on the mountain and the crash of tsunami waves.

He was additionally wearing white, standing with a posture so straight that his again resembled a sword. His good-looking face exuded a powerful presence, and his eyes shone brightly like lightning. But, his expression remained chilly and onerous as ice.

His reputation on Mount Shu was all the time second solely to Jiang Yuebai’s. Given Fairy Jiang’s magnificence, it may very well be mentioned that Xu Ziyang obtained essentially the most recognition purely primarily based on his energy.

Most individuals believed he deserved the title of head disciple.

Furthermore, his opponent was Chu Liang, somebody who had only a few supporters.

Solely Lin Bei and some others cheered for Chu Liang from the sidelines, chanting slogans like, “Chu Liang, Chu Liang! Mount Shu’s strongest!” and “Chu Liang, Chu Liang! Good-looking and stylish!”

However their efforts have been in useless, utterly drowned out by the overwhelming assist for Xu Ziyang.

Some even shouted issues like, “Chu Liang, Chu Liang, insane and deranged,” attempting to disrupt their rhythm and break their resistance.

Within the midst of overwhelming assist for the opposite aspect, Chu Liang stepped onto the stage with a assured smile.

Amidst the clamor, he raised his left hand, tilted his head again, and pressed a finger to his lips.

It was the identical gesture Ling Ao had made.

Silence!

Your complete crowd gasped in shock!

A quick second of silence hung within the air.

Regardless of the data that Ling Ao had made the identical gesture in response to the gang beforehand and confronted humiliation, Chu Liang boldly replicated it. This act demanded much more braveness.

He displayed double the vanity!
