Capítulo 2332: Chapter 45: The Wandering Clouds Have Scattered (Part 3)
Feeling quite unhappy, Zhongli Yan returned to Minhe Temple, thought for a mont, and turned towards the back door. Carefully, he made his way to the area where the Chuguo envoy was located, silently slipping into the courtyard. His luck hadn’t been good these days, so he decided not to go out and stay in until the inauguration ceremony began.
Then he saw…
Dou Zhao.
The famous eldest son of the Dou Family was enjoying a honeydew lon, juice splashing everywhere, it slled delightful.
Seeing him, Dou Zhao generously waved his hand: “Co, have a taste. Jade honey lon from the grassland, it’s a delicacy, worth its weight in gold!”
Zhongli Yan glared: “What are you doing in my courtyard?”
Dou Zhao paused, looked at him, and said: “I thought about waiting for your good news, and figured I should wait in your courtyard. Otherwise, I’d miss it. So, what happened? You look so arrogant, you must have won, right?”
Zhongli Yan rolled his eyes: “Mind your own business!”
“Ha!” Dou Zhao’s tone noticeably rose: “So you lost!”
Zhongli Yan loudly refuted.
Saying things like “Don’t judge a hero by victory or defeat”, “Who can say for sure”, “The ground was too slippery”, and such.
Dou Zhao grinned brightly: “Speaking of which, I’ve also arranged a duel with Jiang Wang.”
He glanced sideways at Zhongli Yan: “However, Jiang Wang felt that since he just returned from demon hunting on the grassland, he wasn’t in good enough condition to fight , and asked for a few days to recuperate. Who knew you’d be in such a rush to embarrass yourself. Here, the letter is right here, want to take a look?”
Zhongli Yan’s eyes blazed with fire.
“Hey?” Dou remarked with a face full of confusion and bafflent: “Wasn’t he supposed to be resting? How did he find ti to fight you? Does he look down on you that much, considering you just a tag-along?”
Zhongli Yan nearly ground his teeth to dust.
But montarily couldn’t decide whether Jiang Wang was more detestable or Dou Zhao, so he hated them both equally.
Two scoundrels!
Dou Zhao paid no mind to Zhongli Yan’s mood, shaking his head and talking continuously, hitting him in the heart and face with each sentence.
Zhongli Yan protested angrily, but defeat was a stark reality, leaving him with no ground to stand, his face turning shades of blue and white from the insults.
Dou Zhao himself was quite aware.
Zhongli Yan was completely overwheld by him, which made him lose faith in the orthodox cultivation path, and turned to martial arts.
Abandoning skill and cultivating martial arts is quite a bold move. Zhongli Yan indeed has remarkable talent and extraordinary perseverance. He can indeed exert so pressure on him.
But up to now, it has only amounted to “so pressure”…
No matter how unwilling he portrays himself, how he fights tirelessly despite repeated defeats, how he never loses his fighting spirit despite losing, deep down, Zhongli Yan is aware of the gap, perhaps even sowhat intimidated by it. Otherwise, why abandon years of accumulation in the orthodox cultivation path?
This intimidation will always stand in his Tao path, until the day he overcos it.
And this, is not Zhongli Yan’s fault.
Anyone aspiring to be the strongest, living in the sa era as Dou Zhao, their confidence would be relentlessly destroyed. So people can rebuild it, so cannot.
Zhongli Yan is already counted as exceptional.
Regardless, this guy is a great sparring partner, and Dou Zhao feels it’s necessary to offer so consolation. Letting him collapse like this isn’t good, compared to Wu Ling and others, Zhongli Yan is indeed more competent at fighting.
Thinking about this, Dou Zhao sowhat restrained himself, and sighed deeply: “It’s not entirely your fault. If it weren’t for you never being able to beat , having to abandon your previous accumulation and switch to martial arts. You might have lasted a few more rounds today.”
Zhongli Yan’s brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this.
“Being born in the sa era as is your greatest misfortune. But in the world of misfortune, are you the only one Zhongli Yan?” Dou Zhao with an ‘I understand you well’ deanor calmly said: “My personal advice is that you should look beyond it.”
Zhongli Yan erupted in anger: “You’re nothing but a bird feather!”
The elite warriors of Great Chu’s Divine Punishnt Army guarding outside, heard a sudden explosion from within the courtyard.
Followed by crashing sounds, it continued for a long ti.
