Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 118: Is your Pride worth your life?

Qin couldn't help but turn his head at Chu Xieyi and ask.

"Although I don't want to pry in someone's private life, you would've died or even crippled yourself because of your pride. You aren't a dumb person. But, why did you take such a dumb decision?"

Chu Xieyi frowned after hearing his question. She turned her head away and spoke "My pride didn't allow me to admit defeat."

"So, I was wrong. You are a dumb person." Qin nodded his head in shock and turned away.

"I am not dumb. I do want to be a coward. If I face an opponent, I must defeat them." Chu Xieyi shouted with an angry expression when Qin called her dumb.

"But, have you ever considered what would you do after you die? Nothing! Once you die, you can do nothing. I am calling you dumb because you are letting your pride take over your dream. Don't get me wrong! I am not trying to interfere with your life."

"But, are you someone without a dream? I am telling you this because I don't you are. Neither is Zhao Tan. Just like you, he is letting his qi control him. I mean just how stupid you can be? I am not telling you to stop fighting just because you got injured."

"No, you should fight till you bleed. You should fight till you win. But, only if you have zero percent chance of dying. I and Lan Ming fought with everything we got. We injured each other to the fullest but we didn't fight like that because we were dumb."

"He has the power to heal himself from any kinds of injuries, so he wasn't worried about my strong sword attacks. And, I have a pretty strong body. This makes me fearless against his blunt attacks. When you fought against Guo Yang, you could have admitted defeat."

"That attack wasn't under his control at least, not completely. You noticed this but you didn't admit defeat. And, that's why I call you dumb. If you had put away your pride and thought carefully, you would've noticed that you are fighting against a wild attack that is not under your opponent's control."

"And, when your opponent can't even control his attacks, it will not be a fair fight. We fought in this competition to test our strength to the limit, not to kill each other. I called you dumb but I didn't call Zhao Tan. I only said he is letting his Qi dictate himself."

"I don't understand. If you can't control something, why would you even try to use it in this fair fight? You heard Yue Bin, right? Lan Ming uses the Earth Rank Flame. But, he used it because he has complete control over it."

"Of course, I can't blame Guo Min. Because he doesn't dictate his ability. It is his enemy who dictates it. That's why when Tian Se fought Guo Min, he tried to smile from the beginning to the end. I don't think it was him who knew this."

"Lan Ming must have figured out and told him. But, this was a good way to counterattack against Guo Min. I mean I don't understand. You are fighting in a fair sect battle. So, why do you bear hatred or killing intent against your opponent?"

"Well, I think I have spoken a bit too much. But, just remember, there will always be heaven beyond heaven. If you think Guo Yang is a wall in front of you, then you are never going to surpass us. Lan Ming, I, Guan Xing, Zhao Tan, and even Guo Min, especially with all that pride, you will never win against us."

"And, don't think this as my pride. I am telling you because I have the strength to back up my words. In the future, someone might surpass me and at that time, it will just be the pride."

Saying so, Qin turned silent. In his mind, he had already made a perfect power ranking between the top ten. Currently, he knew he was at the top. But just as he said, he must get stronger and keep this rank. Of course, he doesn't care since he can accept if he is weaker than others.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, the door opened and a young man walked inside. This young man was none other than Lan Ming. Qin, Chu Xieyi, and Yue Bin turned their head at the door.

"Huh! I thought I had locked the door. How did you open it?" Yue Bin narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Umm! I helped him." Guo Min slowly walked out while raising his hand.

Yue Bin still stared at him with confusion. Lan Ming turned his head at Guo Min and smiled "Your comprehension over an array is quite good."

"It was quite basic since everyone uses the same kind of formation to close their door. I am not that good." Guo Min shook his head and humbly spoke.

"Huh! How did you recover so quickly?" Knowing Guo Min's secret, Qin instantly changed the topic and asked.

"Open your mouth!" Lan Ming smiled and took out a purple pill. Qin frowned but still opened his mouth. Lan Ming throws the pill at his mouth and turned his head Yue Bin "Senior Sister Yue, we know you and Brother Qin are lovers but can you please move away? You are sitting in a wrong position."

"It's your fault for coming out of nowhere." Yue Bin rolled her eyes and moved away. Fortunately, she had already put his little dragon inside his pant otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

"Haha! I did come to tell something to Brother Qin. But, I didn't expect the entire group to be waiting outside. And, I got quite lucky to listen to Brother Qin's speech. So, how about everyone come inside?" Lan Ming turned his head back and spoke loudly.

Slowly, Zhao Tan, Guo Yang, Tian Se, and Guan Xing entered the room.

"Since everybody is here, I think it is quite a good opportunity to share this knowledge with everyone. But, before I speak anything else, I want to ask everyone something. What's your plan for the future?" Lan Ming turned his head at each of them and asked.

"Get Stronger!" Zhao Tan was the first to reply.

"Get Stronger!" Guan Xing also replied right after. Others sensed the trace of competition between them but they didn't think too much.

Lan Ming turned his head at others, and pretty much everyone had the same answer except Guo Min. His plan was to find a fated lover. But, it was still indirectly related to the strength.

"Then, how about we go out and join the Hunter Association? I believe we will get quite a good reputation with our strength. And, if we join Hunter Association, we can do the hunting to earn resources. Of course, the hunting will be restricted based on the task."

"I don't think Battle Dragon Sect can improve our strength anymore. So, what do you guys think?" Lan Ming asked.

Hearing his words, everyone looked at him with curiosity.

"Have you gone outside?" Guan Xing narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Yes, I had many adventures outside. But, I was lucky enough to encounter a nice person who helped him show the outside world. It was four years ago. That person's name was Cheng Xin. She said she came here looking for a certain person called Cheng Gun."

"When she traced him, she almost got destroyed by the sword energy. That sword energy was quite powerful. It took me nearly a year to devour that sword energy but I was able to establish a good relationship because of that. She took me to the outside world and even helped me join the Hunter Association."

"And, I also showed her my strength, before coming, so I did establish my reputation there. So, what do you think? I can easily help you enter the Hunter Association. You can travel the world and improve your strength."

When he spoke, he noticed the strange gaze from Qin. He didn't understand whether Qin was cautious of him or feel good for him.

In fact, Qin was also confused. He didn't know whether to feel good for Lan Ming or be cautious of the Cheng family. After all, Overlord Body Technique was something that his family desperately wanted. But, due to some problems, Cheng Gun's strength and talent, they weren't able to get it.

More importantly, it takes a lot of wealth to cultivate. Just to cultivate Cheng Gun, it took the majority of their wealth.

Although Qin was quite interested to go out, he wasn't ready yet. At least, not until he gets his revenge.

He stared at Lan Ming and shook his head "Brother Lan, I think I can follow you but not now. I have some unfinished business. If you don't mind, let's wait till the Comet Festival."

Lan Ming thought for a moment and nodded his head "No problem, a month is nothing to a cultivator and I can also improve a lot in a month. And, Comet Festival will be a good opportunity to increase my strength as well."

Then, he turned his head at others and asked "So, what about you guys?"

"I have no problem."

"Me too!"

"Me Three!"
