Listen While Reading: 05. Every Day Is a Good Day

Dammit, just when I thought I could surpass her only using Hope and Myriad Self Arts, she still surpassed .
It's still the sa thing with the Heavenly Demon; if I don’t use all my tools, shiny equipnt, weapons, and skills, I simply can’t surpass them.
Yet…
But that’s fine; it’s really just alright.
That’s what I like about them anyways, that they’re amazingly strong.
They are the two people that represent Murim the most.
The two factions, the two elents, everything—they are Murim.
Just like in that vision where I saw the first ever Murim Gods, they’re like that…
Definitely, the Golden Dragon could probably pick them up to beco Constellations once they die, like it happened to the rest.
But I don’t want them to die, though! And I’m going to do my best for that to not happen.
“Haahh…”
I slowly opened my eyes. After she knocked out, I slept for a little while…
Though instead of waking up in my bed or sowhere else, I was sitting over her…
Her lap?!
She was caressing my hair calmly.
“Did you sleep well?”
“A-Ah! Yes…”
“Sorry for being so brutish at the end; I might have gotten a bit too excited after you showed that wonderful technique that surpassed even mine.”
“Even yours, master?”
“Yes, it surpassed them in terms of potential, imagination, power, and even their ability to expand and beco sothing even further. This is… the pinnacle of Murim’s Martial and Spiritual Arts, and you’ve surpassed all expectations once more!”
“T-Thanks, but I still lost…”
“Yeah, I an, you are the second person to have ever seen that though.”
“The second?!”
“Yes, the first was the Heavenly Demon. He’s the only one I’ve showed the second phase of my Imperial Armant. Using his Axe and other Armants he can make, he managed to break through all six palms. Although he struggled more than you did.”
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Wow… Oh well, still… You’re still weakened, right? It’s not like I truly did it like he once did. It was a completely different battle back then.
“Hm, maybe! But even then, it was still sothing beyond what I imagined. So well done! Now it’s ti for you to refine that technique, evolve it, and transform it, while also growing strong yourself.”
“Uh-huh…”
“The reason why you weren’t able to defeat was because you created a technique that was vastly more powerful than you are… therefore, it ended up coming out as much weaker than it should have been.”
“And how strong do I need to be to release its full power?”
“I don’t know… maybe at my level or higher? It is a technique that seems to draw from several things, many things related to the Heavenly Dao and Enlightennt. It also held a lot of Imagination and Projection within it, amazing.”
“I see… I really want to surpass you… Is it selfish?” I wondered.
I sat down by her side.
“I feel a bit bad when I overthink about it, but still… Maybe wanting to surpass you is not the way?”
“Haha, hardly. I believe it’s fine. It’s beautiful even. A disciple as talented as you wanting to surpass … There isn’t a thing I’ve wished for more in my life.”
“Huh? Why? You want soone stronger than you to appear? So the Heavenly Demon…”
“Indeed, only a little bit, but he’s weaker than …”
“Oh…”
“Since thousands of years ago, I’ve wished for soone to surpass . The weight I carried as the strongest… it was so painful and tiring. I wanted soone else to… well, take the throne. But through my lifespan it hasn’t happened yet.”
She looked at the lake as we sat over the fluffy, yet solid clouds.
“Back then I believed Song would one day surpass … And now I am sure he’ll be able to do so, but it might take him years,” she said. “But you, Anna, I think… maybe you could do it.”
“To be surpassed…”
I looked at the bright crystalline sand near the lake; seeing my small reflections on it was a bit freaky; it reminded of the insane potential Myriad Self Arts has.
“Okay, I’ll surpass you, master.”
“Good girl.”
She patted my head as she stood up.
“Shall we end it for today? Let’s go have a al; I bet you’re hungry.”
“I am… very hungry… for how long I passed out?”
“Only around an hour and a half; it’s almost ti for dinner, so let’s go.”
We flew back to her palace where the rest of the family and friends were waiting. I saw Yu there, talking with Song and the rest of my friends.
They were surprised about her appearing out of nowhere and happily interacted with her. She was a bit nervous but talked a lot as well. She seed to be slowly opening up and becoming better at socializing, maybe.
“Welco back, Mama! Big sis!”
Song greeted us, flying towards us with his Aura and hugging us.
“We’re back! Shall we have so dinner? Sniff, hmm? Soone’s already cooking?”
“Ah yes, we started cooking already; we didn’t want to disturb your training with Anna, Great Venerable.” Yin Sheng said.
“He’s actually a really good cook,” said the Heavenly Demon. “So I left it to him… I can also cook, but I would rather just let soone else do it for …”
“You’re just as lazy as always, aren’t you?” sighed Mom. “Anyways, let’s cook sothing delicious for everyone. How about so stew? No, wait, how about curry? Hmm! I haven’t had so of that in quite a long while! Perhaps a couple hundred years.”
“Curry!” Song said. “What’s that?”
“It’s a delicious al using spices and lots of veggies and at,” I said. “You’ll love it!”
“Ooohhh!” Song beca very excited, looking forward to it right away.
With everyone helping, we cooked a lot of different types of curry: yellow, green, brown, red, even purple and pure black curry too, each one with different types of veggies and ats. From red at, white at, fish, seafood, and so on. Accompanied by fluffy white rice.
As we enjoyed the delicious curry dinner, we talked a lot about how everyone had grown so far, and also, Zero One brought up the topic as we ate.
“Tomorrow morning, are you two ready?” She asked my masters. “Everything is ready for the nanomachine extraction procedure.”
So it’s tomorrow…
