Chapter 160 Do they deserve it?

Two Weeks Later,

Brian was sitting inside the cave. It was Cao Ping’s cave. He had been here for two weeks, dual cultivating with her. At first, it felt a bit awkward but he slowly got used to it.

During these two weeks, he focused on several expect of his strength. He tried to improve his fighting power and cultivation realms and even managed to do some other stuff.

At this moment, he was meditating inside the cave while Cao Ping was away. Whenever she returned after teaching Chu Ling, they would start dual cultivating.

After a few minutes, Cao Ping entered the cave. Brian managed to sense her presence and opened his eyes. He was only wearing his underwear so he was ready to go at any moment.

But, as she entered, she spoke “Put on some clothes! It seems like you have a few challenges in front of you.”

Brian looked at her with confusion and asked “What do you mean?”

“You remember what you told in front of the crowd during that day, right? You should’ve met that old man from Wu Family, right? You should be able to guess what I trying to say.” Cao Ping answered.

Brian’s eyes narrowed.

“Did he really implement what I said that day?”

Cao Ping nodded her head and spoke “Not only that, but he also made sure that the youths of all noble families will get no resources from their family unless they make some contribution.”

“They also lost their status and power. Wu Family controls other noble families so nobody can refuse when they make a decision. Now, hundreds of youths want to take revenge on you.”

Hearing her words, Brian slowly curved his lips.

“That’s interesting. I didn’t expect people to take my words seriously. Let’s go! I want to see who wants to challenge me.”

Brian stood up and started wearing his clothes. He wore a black dress and didn’t wear any robe.

“I also have another piece of information for you.” Cao Ping spoke as they walked out of the cave.

Brian looked at her as she replied.

“Sect is deciding on whether they should send you to the Gathering of Four Lands or not. They might send you if you perform well in these upcoming challenges.”

Brian thought for a moment and asked.

“Master, if I perform outstandingly against other youths, what kind of benefits would I get?”

Cao Ping was shocked for a moment when he asked that. She sighed and said, “You will not only get full support from the sect but also from the human especially if you manage to contribute a lot to the humans.”

Brian smiled and clenched his fist “That’s good than. I might have to crush a few human bones first.”

Cao Ping sighed once again and said “I really can’t understand why you have such a thirst for strength.”

“There is something important that I must accomplish. I must get the strength.” Brian said as he showed his determined eyes.

“Well, as long as you don’t walk on the evil route, I don’t mind.” Cao Ping sighed and finally smiled. Soon, they reached the stage where thousands of people were gathered.

“Look! He is coming. Brian is coming.”

“Man, I still can’t get used to his name. But, I feel like he has grown stronger.”

“Of course, he would grow stronger. He has the Divine Rank Martial Soul.”

“But, his opponent is at 595th position in Martial Youth List. Zing Su won’t be an easy opponent.”

As soon as he entered the stage, the people started whispering to each other. The number of disciples gathered around the stage was huge. Even many elders were gathered.

Brian walked toward the main stage where Zing Su was standing and waiting for him. When he saw Brian, he clenched his fist and a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes.

If it wasn’t for Brian, his little brother wouldn’t have lost his privilege. His little brother wasn’t talented like him. And, he didn’t care about it because his little brother was getting resources from the family.

But now, his resources were cut off and he was forced to join either the borders or the Gathering of Four Lands.

At this moment, an elder flew into the middle of the main stage. He looked at Zing Su and asked “Disciple Su, are you sure you want to challenge the new disciple Brian?”

“Yes, Elder!” Zing Su clenched his teeth and replied. He wanted to cruelly speak about Brian but he learned about how cruel Brian could be with his tongue and decided to use his fist instead of his mouth.

The elder nodded and looked at Brian.

“Disciple Brian, your cultivation is currently two realms lower than your opponent? Would you like to restrict his cultivation to your realm or fight him without any restriction? Or, you can also reject this battle.”

Brian shook his head and said “No need! There are countless people suffering because of these scums’ reasonings. I believe my sun will shine upon this world and bring justice to all those people. And today is the perfect opportunity to prove my justice.”

“Let’s start!”

“You bastard!” As soon as he said that, Zing Su roared with anger flushing out of his eyes. He dashed toward Brian but Brian suddenly vanished from his eyes.

He instantly covered himself with true essence and moved his forearms to the right.

Bang!

A fist descended toward him, carrying the weight of the world and the power of the sun. It was the bright sun that illuminated the stage.

Thud!

The fist broke the barrier. It broke his forearms and struck his fist to the ground, creating a crater on it.

Whoa!

The entire crowd turned silent. They didn’t understand what just happened.

The elder who was supposed to be the referee looked at Brian’s arm with eyes wide.

‘This heat…. This power…. He is manifesting the power of his Martial Soul. Just how powerful his sun exactly is. And, those steps. Only Void Steps can allow him to move as if he was teleporting.’

‘This boy not only perfected Void Steps but also trained his own Martial Soul.’

“Argh!” Zing Su coughed out blood and rolled to the side. He slowly pushed himself up as he stared at Brian. At this moment, Brian’s right arm was like magma, burning and melting at the same time.

“I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction but being dissatisfied doesn’t keep you alive. Being discontent with your strength doesn’t prove you are right.”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Brian disappeared once again and appeared in front of him. Zing Su burst out of his true essence like a bomb and exploded. Suddenly, Brian grabbed his neck and pulled him several meters away from the explosion.

Boom!

“You are strong so why? Why do you have to go to such lengths? Is it for your brother or sister?” Brian raised him above the ground and asked.

Zing Su tried to struggle and kept releasing his true essence but no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t even make a scratch on him.

“Don’t try. Your true essence won’t be able to do anything to my body. Let’s get back to my question. Obviously, you are doing this for your brother or sister. But, let me ask you something.”

“Did they DESERVE IT?”

When he asked that, Zing Su’s eyes widened for a moment. Not just him, everyone turned silent. Brian let him go as Zing Su fell to the ground.

“You should have already guessed what I am trying to say. Let me give you an example. Have you heard of Void Steps?”

Brian crouched down and asked.

Before Zing Su could reply, Brian continued “It is one of the best movement art in our sect. It was created by a Saint who took two hundred years to create it and three hundred years to perfect it.”

“And, I did that just in two weeks. Do you understand what’s the difference?”

At this moment, some people felt like he was bragging about his talent. But what he said made them stunned.

“Difference is that I didn’t create it. I didn’t have to waste my time researching it or even spending time creating it. It was already done for me. I just had to master it.”

“If he hadn’t created it, who knows how long it would take to master such a move? Cultivation isn’t a selfish journey. It never was. Your ancestors have done so much for you but even now, you are refusing to understand it.”

“Cultivation is evolution. You don’t cultivate for yourself. You cultivate for the future generations. That’s why they don’t deserve it but you do. Because you can cultivate something for the future generation while they just keep using the resources that could’ve pushed you even further.”

At this moment, Brian slowly stood up and looked at the other students.

“Let me ask you something. If I take you to fight the other three races for the resources. Would you go?”

“YES”

The entire crowd shouted at the same time. There was excitement in their tone. The motivation inside them was soaring. Brian looked at Zing Su and said.

“See? These are the people who deserve resources. Being weak isn’t a sin. Remaining weak is. Send your brother or sister to fight against three other races and then tell me ‘Was the decision that Saint Wu made truly wrong?’.”

At this moment, several thousand meters above the sky. Four old men were staring at the stage.

“It has been decided. Brian will lead the disciples of DragonElephant Sect to the Gathering of Four Lands’.”
