Chapter 290: The Brilliance Would Be Gone With Wind
Translator: TransNEditor: TransN
Lou Cheng was born in the south, where he grew up and went to school, so he had seldom seen snow in the past 19 years. It was not until he went to Yanling for the Little Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament did he see a world of ice and snow while touching the large snowflakes for the first time.
However, the scenery in front of him greatly dwarfed his old memory of snow, for at least 5cm of snow had piled up under his feet in less than one minute, which was now creaking and showing footprints along with his steps. In the vast expanse of whiteness, he could see nothing several meters from him except snow and wind.
Lou Cheng was about to say something subconsciously, but all his words were blocked in the mouth by the wind and snow.
A man with this level of kungfu could definitely be called a living immortal!
No wonder my master said there were lots of myths and legends based on the deeds of mighty warriors!
When can I develop such a strength?
While all these ideas flashing across his mind, Lou Cheng followed his master and senior sister to leave the school located in the clean white world and go to a nearby parking lot, where he saw all the cars were covered with thick frost.
As Shi Yuejian raised and waved her right hand, the wind immediately grew stronger enough to blow away all the frost on her car. Until this time did Lou Cheng get a clear view of this stylish sports car bearing an unfamiliar brand name.
After opening the door and seeing her dad get in, Shi Yuejian said gruffly,
"Cough if you want…"
A fit of violent coughing burst from Geezer Shi's smiling mouth before he could say something in reply, making Lou Cheng scared and worried greatly.
At the same time, Lou Cheng's feeling as if being at the mercy of a never-ending brutal blizzard stopped abruptly, and big snowflakes pouring down from the sky also began to slow down and reduce.
"senior, senior sister, is my master Okay?" He blurted out.
Shi Yuejian took a deep breath and sighed, "Not severe enough to kill him…"
Saying like this, she put on a soft smile for she could do nothing with her dad, "You master's too proud to accept his old age and declining health. He could have taken other kinds of actions to protect you instead of making such a special effect…"
"Cough, I'm fine! Cough, I, cough, I'm not like your junior brother, cough, not as stupid as him, cough, I secretly, cough borrowed, borrowed some strength, cough, from the Ice-core Bead." Geezer Shi explained stubbornly.
Seeing him almost come around, Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, it'll be fine as long as you come around. Take a rest and I'll be back soon!" Stepping to the other side of the car, Lou Cheng took out his cellphone to record the snow-covered landscape and the blizzard in videos, and then sent them to Yan Zheke.
Shi Yuejian whispered with a strange facial expression.
"I can't understand the youth nowadays, either... "
If I suffered such a shock at his age, I wouldn't be in the vein for taking photos!
"Cough, I don't know, either…" Geezer Shi turned to look at his stupid disciple through the window, who was recording the amazing scenery intently regardless of the snow covering him, which made his master stunned.
Without Geezer Shi's support, the snowflakes turned smaller and sparser and gradually stopped along with the weakened blizzard in dozens of seconds. The dark cloud vanished away when the sun came out to shine on the snow-covered Binshen Sect in silence.
Stopping taking photos, Lou Cheng padded his head and clothes to brush off the snow. Then he came back to Shi Yuejian's car with an embarrassed smile, "Senior sister, sorry to keep you waiting because of my impulse."
"Don't be so polite. You are my dad's first disciple and my first junior brother, and I'll protect you under in any case. So just withdraw your honorific and regard me as your sister." Shi Yuejian smiled softly and pointed at the car, "get on and let's talk about it on the way."
"Okay." Being affected by her attitude, Lou Cheng replied briskly.
Then he sat by his master's side and closed the door.
Shi Yuejian started the car and drove up the mountain highway.
From the cloud gathering to the snow stop, it took no more than four minutes. In another black car, a man devoting himself into the cellphone raised and tilted his head to relax his neck.
Then all of a sudden, his gaze froze at the white field and trees outside.
"This is…" Unfastening his seat belt unconsciously to get off, he found the car also covered with a layer of snow and some kids were making a snowman in strange shape on the hood of it.
He immediately took out his cellphone to make a call.
"Honey, what's the date today? Which month?"
How come I forget winter has already come?
...
In the Ice God Palace, the guests looked at each other in shock and were unable to speak for a long time.
Seizing the time to take photos and videos, and then emailed them to her master, Zheng Yu walked out of the hall to find a secluded area, where she made a phone call while Qian Qiyue was on the lookout.
"What happened in the Ice God Sect?" Someone said in a low and deep voice.
His two disciples, who were usually calm and rational, wouldn't bother him if nothing had happened.
"Master, check your inbox. I've sent some photos and videos to you… Shi Jianguo, the elder Shi of Ice God Sect just threatened us with his almighty power." Zheng Yu was still talking incoherently since he hadn't calmed down yet.
Huang Ke, the King of Spear said without asking more questions, "All right, I'm right near the computer."
Though being in his forties, Huang Ke was still struggling to learn computer when digital devices were more and more popular at present.
Hearing the click sound in the phone, Zheng Yu could do nothing but wait for his master's comment patiently.
After a while, Huang Ke broke the silence with lowered voice.
No wonder he's a legend…"
...
While the car was running quitely, Lou Cheng suddenly heard a snore-liked breathing.
Turing his gaze along the sound, he found Geezer Shi had already fallen asleep with his back against the seat, seeming to be tired out.
Senior sister, my master's in ill health, isn't he?" Lou Cheng lowered his voice, but he knew Shi Yuejian could definitely hear him clearly.
Shi Yuejian gave him a wry smile, "It can be said to be really poor, or I wouldn't control his drinking since he's a mighty one of physical invulnerability. But sometimes I would turn a blind eye to it since I don't want to force a poor aged man to quite his hobby…"
After grumbling for a long while, she concluded, "My father's only three years older than your headmasters. Most physical-invulnerability warriors were able to keep a youthful look like your senior uncle Shen, who seemed to be a middle-aged man with some gray hair. Anyway, none of them would look like my dad as a man in his seventies or even eighties."
"What? My master was just in his sixties…But another senior uncle of mine, the chief of this sect also looks like an aged man, why?"Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
Shi Yuejian was amused. "Our senior uncle was very old actually, for he's the eldest disciple of his generation and three years older than my dad. His 90th birthday was celebrated last year. As the chief of this sect, every day he would deal with all kinds of sect affairs heart and soul, so no wonder he is aging quicker than the other physical-invulnerability warriors…"
She paused to sigh with emotion. "Senior uncle had already been a physical-invulnerability warrior and began to help his master to teach his junior sisters and brothers when my dad entered the sect, so he was both a teacher and a brother to my dad. Dad would never argue with him about something unless it is of principle…"
She was actually prompting Lou Cheng.
Considering his age, Yang Xianlong shouldn't be senior uncle's eldest disciple. Maybe his senior sisters and brothers had all died in that age of war…" Thinking about this, Lou Cheng asked cautiously, "Is master's poor health caused by old wounds?"
"Yeah, don't ask more about this. We'll let you know when it's the right time." Shi Yuejian replied in a soft voice.
Considering the self-healing capability of physical-invulnerability warrior, what a bad injury it was that had almost destroyed his body?
And what a horrible might his enemy was that should have injured him severely?
Lou Cheng was almost struck with fright by the ups and downs of his thoughts.
"Can it be healed? Have you found any radical cures?" He asked with great concern.
He should also devote all his effort into treating Geeaer Shi.
Shi Yuejian slightly shook her head. "None at present. We have tried all kinds of treatments but none of them succeed. Hope that the newest study of military could come out soon, or maybe those seniors studying cultivation methods could make breakthroughs…"
Cultivation? Lou Cheng was lost in deep thought as if there was light ahead, but he hadn't found the right direction yet.
"Let's stop talking about it. Anyway it's not difficult for my dad to live seven or eight more years, and maybe the problem will be solved then." Shi Yuejian changed the subject into the anecdote in this sect to enliven the atmosphere.
At this time, Yan Zheke's response to his videos arrived,
"What happened? How come it should be snowing in June? Or no, August!"
"Cheng, you're there to formally acknowledge coach Shi as your master, not to move to heaven to tears~"
She said jokingly with a "bewilderment" emoji to show her confusion.
Not to mention that the Ice God sect was not at the mountaintop, even if it was, it couldn't be snowing in such a small mountain as Yanbin in this season!
Typing with both hands, Lou Cheng concluded what had happened just now in vivid words with the help of the videos.
"…How powerful Coach Shi is…" Yan Zheke sent a Dodge emoji, "even my grandpa couldn't be his match…"
She only mentioned grandpa instead of both her grandparents, so her grandpa must be the toughest one… Lou Cheng thought for a while and said, "I've once watched a video of Warrior Sage, and he seemed to be also able to do this kind of things. But what he made was not brutal blizzard…"
"Yeah, I've watched it, too! So Dragon King should also be able to do this. Cheng, what a terrific master you have!" Yan Zheke acclaimed in surprise and joy, and then sent an emoji scratching its head, "but coach Shi seemed to be in, in poor health…"
"Yeah, he's said to be once badly injured, or he wouldn't have come to our university to be a coach." Lou Cheng sent a "sigh with relief" emoji.
Maybe it was fate…
All of a sudden, a text from niece Mo arrived:
"Senior sister's really horrible and I can hardly believe what I've seen!"
Lou Cheng was not afraid of Mo Qianting, and he just wanted to keep her at a distance instead of avoiding seeing her or turning a deaf ear to her message. Besides, as an aboveboard boy, Lou Cheng didn't want to make friend with someone calculating.
So he just replied politely, "I'm also shocked."
"Wow, little uncle finally reply my message! Hey, I thought you have changed your phone number!" Mo Qianting replied quickly.
Taking a glance at the text, Lou Cheng decided to ignore the nonsense and continue to chat with his senior sister and Yan Zheke, or log in the forum to see his zone which was more active than before. Eternal Nightfall and Brahman agreed with what that article in Weibo said about the four Heavenly Sons at present-- Lou Cheng had greatly improved his strength, which was too dream-like for them to accept. So maybe he should be more moderate!
Without their noticing it, the car arrived at Shi Yuejian's house, where Geezer Shi got in the car yesterday.
"Well, in those days I would be not tired at all after doing all this." Geezer Shi woke up in time and sighed with emotion, "after all I'm aged."
