Chapter 260: Spiritual Life Coach?
Editor: H2dH2mr Boss Huo found his breath stifled for a mont by Ling Lan’s question, but fury soon followed in response to Ling Lan’s arrogant words.
In his extre rage, he laughed and said, “What shaless boasting.
A tiny first year actually daring to threaten us?” Where did these first year students get the gall to do this?
“Oh no, I’m just clarifying our New Cadet Regint’s principles in dealing with outsiders,” responded Ling Lan calmly, “I also believe that, the other groups, including senior’s Leiting cha Clan, will have sothing similar to this creed as well.
We are just doing what we should.” Ling Lan was not wrong.
As an organisation, in order to protect the group and the welfare of its mbers, there must be so action.
For example, the Leiting cha Clan’s thod of doing things was even more bossy and tyrannical than what Ling Lan had said.
It went to the extent where if an outsider did not want to submit to them, they would be targeted on all fronts.
However, this was all established on individual strength …
an idea sparked in Boss Huo’s mind.
He unleashed his full aura and pressed it down on the youth opposite him, and said slowly, “Ambitious, and your words are haughty, but it still remains to be seen whether you have the corresponding level of strength to back them up.
Otherwise, it’s all hot air, and you will only be laughed at for biting off more than you can chew.” Right beside them, Colonel Tang Yu sensed the great force of Boss Huo’s aura pressing down, and his expression could not help but shift subtly.
He threw a hurried glance at the main target of this force, but found Ling Lan still standing there with his back straight, expression unchanged, and the colonel’s expression eased as he let go of his worry.
Ling Lan seed to not feel any of the pressure Boss Huo was silently heaping on her.
Airily, she replied, “You can try.” Boss Huo was just about to retort to that when Colonel Tang Yu suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt, “The nas of the 4th round have yet to be announced, so both of you please leave the stage.
Do not affect the continuation of the fights.” Boss Huo cast a contemplative glance at Tang Yu, and then peered searchingly at Ling Lan for a long mont before sneering and said, “I hope we’ll have the chance to fight.
What you suggested just now is precisely what I intend to do …” That said, he did not linger.
With a dash, he left the stage, returning to Leiting’s area.
The corners of Ling Lan’s lips quirked at these words, revealing a very light trace of mockery.
She of course knew what the other was hinting at.
It was nothing more than wanting to take revenge for his team mber …
the two of them were destined to fight in the end anyhow; she would just wait and let things be.
Thus, Ling Lan also dashed back to her own territory.
Right then, Wu Jiong approached nervously and asked in a low voice, “Boss Lan, can we really win?” For the first ti, so uncertainty actually appeared in Wu Jiong’s expression.
This greatly surprised Ling Lan — in her mind, Wu Jiong had always been a ntally stable and assured youth who would never lose confidence in himself.
“What are you trying to say?” Ling Lan quirked an eyebrow.
Wu Jiong averted his eyes briefly and said, “Even Qi Long lost, will I …
will I be okay?” Wu Jiong knew very well that the situation was extrely disadvantageous for the New Cadet Regint right now.
They needed to win both of the final two rounds to win this wagered fight.
This ant that, regardless of which match he had to fight, he could not lose.
This type of pressure was not easy to bear, and on top of that, he had just seen Qi Long, who was stronger than him by a hair, fighting so hard just to lose in the end anyway.
This caused him to begin harbouring a tendril of doubt in his own abilities.
These words of Wu Jiong’s made Ling Lan turn her head abruptly, her bleak gaze shooting straight at Wu Jiong.
This gaze pierced Wu Jiong’s heart like a sharp blade, causing him to lower his head in sha.
He knew that sothing had gone wrong with his ntal state — behaving so disgracefully at this critical juncture, he was really letting Boss Lan down …
With a ‘thwack’, Ling Lan flicked a forceful finger onto Wu Jiong’s forehead, causing Wu Jiong to look up and cover his forehead reflexively, his expression confused.
“Have you woken up?” asked Ling Lan.
“Ah …” Wu Jiong was gaping in bewildernt, reflexively making a sound in response.
It looked like Ling Lan’s finger-flick had really stunned him silly.
After all, he and Ling Lan’s relationship was unlike that of Ling Lan with Qi Long and the others of his team — childhood companions who had grown up together — but more of a working relationship.
And Ling Lan’s action just now was extrely intimate, like the way one would treat a beloved follower.
This made Wu Jiong emotional and conflicted at the sa ti, making him unsure how he should react all of a sudden.
“Wu Jiong, frankly, your combat talent is not much weaker than Qi Long’s,” said Ling Lan after Wu Jiong had cald down slightly.
“Ah …?” Once more, Wu Jiong was left stunned by Ling Lan’s words.
Was Boss Lan trying to console him?
Mind you, he had always been suppressed by Qi Long, having never beaten the other even once.
It was obvious that his talent was no match for Qi Long’s.
“The reason you can’t beat him, is that you are not as simple as Qi Long here,” Ling Lan pointed to her own chest.
Ling Lan’s words confused Wu Jiong, but Ling Lan continued to explain, “Other than combat, Qi Long’s heart has nothing else.
But you are different.
The things you think about are many, such as your future, and the futures of the mbers of your team …
all these distract your mind from pure combat, which is why you will never catch up to Qi Long in terms of combat.” Wu Jiong grinned wryly at these words and replied, “Qi Long has you, Boss Lan, to help him.
Of course he can focus without any distractions …” Ling Lan interrupted him to say, “No, rember when I left the academy for three years?
Without my help, you still did not manage to chase up to Qi Long.
Have you never considered the reason for that?” Wu Jiong blinked, his expression troubled.
For a beat, he could not understand what Ling Lan was saying, but he was after all a clever person.
After turning the idea around in his mind for a while, he figured it out, and instantly chuckled bitterly, “So that’s how it is.
It’s because Qi Long has Han Jijyun, has Luo Lang, has Lin Zhong-qing, has Xie Yi …” “Yes, Qi Long’s other strength is his willingness to believe in his companions.
He believes his companions will handle the other things well, so he does not have to worry, able to imrse his full heart and soul into the path of martial combat,” said Ling Lan, nodding, “Qi Long understands his role in the team very well, and has always been working hard to live up to his role.” At this point, Ling Lan peered at Wu Jiong and said, “On the other hand, you, trusting only Ye Xu, have taken on the roles of almost everyone else …
you have too much to worry about, so with regards to martial combat, you of course cannot match up to Qi Long.” As he listened, Wu Jiong ducked his head in sha.
What Ling Lan was saying was precisely the problem with his team.
Despite being very strong individually, in comparison with Ling Lan’s team, his team mbers were all clearly much weaker in their role designations.
Previously, he had always thought it was because the skills of his team mbers were no match for Lin Zhong-qing, Xie Yi and the others of Ling Lan’s team, but now, from the looks of it, he himself was the problem.
“But, from another perspective, you should also be proud of yourself.” Ling Lan’s words took an abrupt turn, causing Wu Jiong to lift his head in surprise, to stare at Ling Lan in disbelief.
He had already behaved so terribly …
why would Boss Lan still say he should take pride in himself?
“Even though your attention had been split up among so many things, you still were not left too far behind Qi Long.
Isn’t that sothing to take pride in?” Ling Lan asked, lifting an eyebrow.
These words of Ling Lan made Wu Jiong’s heart feel warm instantly — so he really was not that much worse than Qi Long!
“That is why I believe in your strength, that you will definitely win at the critical mont …” Ling Lan finally gave her answer.
All of this talk was actually just to eliminate that little speck of self-doubt in Wu Jiong’s heart.
As the big boss of the regint, she really did not have it easy …
Ling Lan was in fact very bothered inside.
When had she also taken on the job of being the spiritual life coach of these children?
Li Yingjie was one, and now Wu Jiong was another …
but, upon reflection, Li Yingjie’s and Wu Jiong’s behaviours were more like those of a normal 16 year old teenager.
Qi Long and Luo Lang were the ones who were weird, actually submitting themselves to a round of tornt on the field without any reservations.
Could it be that because she was not a normal 16 year old girl, her companions who grew up with her had also beco abnormal along with her?
At this thought, Ling Lan could not help but feel a bout of remorse.
Of course, this feeling only lasted for a very brief mont before being thrown to the back of her mind.
In the course of one conversation, Ling Lan achieved her purpose.
From his initial uncertain state, Wu Jiong had now beco unbelievably confident.
This also allowed Ling Lan to relax — after all, no mistakes could be made in these final two rounds.
“Boss, the opponent has submitted their na list!
As expected, it’s their weakest mber, Chang Le1!” Little Four finally piped up from within the mindspace.
This ti, Leiting had submitted their na list very late, basically right at the border of the allocated 5 minutes.
However, following the submission of the opponent’s na list, Little Four instantly sent Wu Jiong’s na over.
This was Ling Lan’s instruction.
She had already told Little Four that she would be fighting against that strongest Boss Huo, while the weakest Chang Le would be Wu Jiong’s opponent.
Thus, when the opponent’na list was revealed, Little Four had sent Wu Jiong’s na over without checking in with Ling Lan again.
On Colonel Tang Yu’s end, to the naked eye, it looked as if the New Cadet Regint and the Leiting cha Clan had submitted their na list at the exact sa ti.
This made the colonel raise his eyebrows, silently impressed at how unruffled the two factions were, able to wait till the very last second before submitting their na lists.
He could not know that this process involved so flawlessly excuted cheating by a miraculous intelligence entity.
“Leiting cha Clan vs New Cadet Regint, 4th round.
4th year Chang Le against 1st year Wu Jiong!” Following this announcent, Leiting’s Lin Zhidong rapped his own head with a fist in frustration.
He had initially wondered whether to let Boss Huo go up in this 4th round, but then, he was afraid that that mysterious youth who had crippled Nie Feng-ming in one blow would also be fighting in this round.
After much thought, he decided to send out the weakest Chang Le to be sacrificed against the opponent’s strongest mber, but unexpectedly, the opponent was so calm, actually sending out their regint commander, Wu Jiong.
At this mont, Lin Zhidong already knew that this Wu Jiong was most likely just the public regint commander of the New Cadet Regint.
The one truly in charge of the New Cadet Regint should be that mysterious youth, because the pressure the mysterious youth exuded was much heavier than that of Wu Jiong’s …
“This is good.
I really want to personally teach that youth a lesson,” Boss Huo suddenly spoke up from beside him, causing Lin Zhidong to jump.
With that, Lin Zhidong no longer dared to reveal any more of his frustration, only nodding to show that he understood.
However, both their reactions showed that they did not look favourably upon Chang Le’s chances in this match.
After all, Wu Jiong was the public regint commander of the New Cadet Regint, so he really could not be that weak.
The other three who had co out so far were all at Qi-Jin stage, so this Wu Jiong must surely be at Qi-Jin stage as well.
It was just unclear whether he was in the early stages of Qi-Jin or the middle stages …
anwhile, although Chang Le was also at Qi-Jin stage, he was only at the mid-level of early stage Qi-Jin.
This match, would definitely be tough to win.
常乐: This person’s na is so cute.
It literally translates into ‘always happy’.
:3 I wonder how happy he’ll be after the fight …
*smirks* CREATORS’ THOUGHTS ryuxenji The upcoming 5 chapters are from DRZ (probie translator’s na revealed!
:p), though I did check and do so edits on them myself after the editor was done with them.
This is only a temporary asure; in future I’m planning to greatly reduce my involvent in any chapter they take.
(I’m talking about an hour or more of unpaid ti here, ’cause I’m the ticulous type that finds it very difficult to do most anything casually.
It’s just not practical in the long run.
:3) You all can, of course, raise concerns regarding quality at any ti, and we’ll see what we can do.
—————
DRZ still isn’t confird to stay on yet, as QA can only be done after they’ve completed 10 chaps.
Still, you all can expect at least one more bonus chapter in the coming days.
*cough* during Boss Lan’s fight *cough*.
