Chapter 636: Try Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The owner of ‘XX home cooking’ restaurant was both happy and worried today.

The bright side was that from now on, there would be another well-known restaurant in Qi City aside from the Fang Family’s restaurant chain.

On the other hand, he was unsure whether his own restaurant would still survive from this day onward...

Wang Wenqing was not a fool. Of course he would not choose to dine at the Fang Family restaurant. Everyone knew that it would be the easiest place to bump into the Venerable Dragon God.

That place was the designated dining hall of the Venerable Dragon God.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant lobby, the two powerhouses were confronting each other.

“Venerable Dragon God, you used to look down on me, thinking that I was not worthy to be your disciple. Now I’d like to ask, with my current cultivation base, would you still accept me as a disciple?” Shen Xingchen asked coldly.

Bouts of cyan energy circulated around his body. In the eyes of an insider, he was just like a Lake-level powerhouse!

Vigilante A looked at him without saying a word.

Many of the surrounding people rushed here after hearing the news. They wanted to witness two handsome powerhouses fighting in the restaurant.

As for the safety of the spectators, most of them were unaware of it.

However, some people noticed that the Qi City Special Affairs Office rushed to the scene as soon as possible and began to evacuate the area as usual.

They took out a delicate instrument and swept it back and forth. Those whose strength was Bucket-level and below were all driven away.

These days, even watching bustling scenes required strength... Otherwise, there would be crushing repercussions every minute.

When strong men fought, ants were not qualified to watch.

At this time, many passers-by that were qualified to watch had already started whispering.

“That handsome little guy was driven away by the Venerable One? What a shame. His qualifications are really high. How else would he be able to cultivate until Lake-level?”

“It really is a shame. For some reason, more than a year ago, it was still rare to see even Pond-levels. Now, there are Lake-levels everywhere. Pond-levels aren’t even as good as dogs anymore.”

“Don’t underestimate dogs. The Venerable One has two dogs, one fiercer than the other, and they’re both Lake-level dogs.”

“Looks like the Venerable One’s vision really is good, but why didn’t he accept this disciple? Otherwise, he’d have yet another Lake-level assistant.”

“Who knows? These days, people aren’t even comparable to dogs. Perhaps the rumors were right in saying that the Venerable One only liked animals and not people.”

While the passers-by were criticizing, Vigilante A suddenly waved his hand, and an image appeared in the middle of the restaurant.

In the image, there were two people talking. One was a young man, and the other was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses.

The young man was obviously Sheng Xingchen. It was him from just one year ago, not a decade, so the people could recognize him immediately.

The other one was Butler Zheng, who often helped the Venerable Dragon God in taking care of trivial matters and chores. Everyone was also very familiar with him.

The voice sounding from the scene was Butler Zheng’s

“The northern Mount Indigo Monastery are opening their gates and recruiting outstanding disciples. Master Ma is somewhat more skilled than the Venerable One.”

The Sheng Xingchen in the image only hesitated a while before he turned and left. There were no lingering feelings.

“Hiss...” The passers-by were all struck by a realization.

“Ah, so it turned out that this person wasn’t sincere in learning from teachers and was picky, climbing on the tall and stepping on the low. No wonder the Venerable One didn’t accept him...”

“Yeah, why would anyone accept a disciple like that? He’s a scourge! No wonder the Venerable One is more willing to accept two dogs rather than him. Dogs won’t abandon their owners, while he... Hmph, who can say?”

The Sheng Xingchen in the middle of the lobby was sullen.

However, he did not make any movements. The cyan force around his body started to change to a murky green, showing his inner emotional changes.

“Hmph, cut the crap!” He suddenly shouted, “Who wouldn’t choose to learn from a more brilliant one? Who would choose to learn from those who fall behind? It’ll only get worse and worse! I, Sheng Xingchen, am an official heir of the Azure Mountain. Today, I’ll show all of you what a truly powerful master is!”

“Hiss... the Azure Mountain? What a frightening place.” Several people suddenly remembered a rumor after hearing this name.

“That’s right, there was a rumor going on before called ‘once entering the Azure Mountain, you’ll see green everywhere’. Is that the place he came out from?” Someone secretly laughed.

“Haha, I really don’t know what his kid is being proud of, by relying on a place that betrays his wife in order to cultivate higher techniques, hmph...” More people said disdainfully.

“Damn it, that Ma Ping must have spread it again...” Sheng Xingchen cursed, completely forgetting that the other party had treated him well in the past.

He stopped speaking, and the dark green aura condensing around his body suddenly shot towards Vigilante A.

However, he said, “Today, I hope that the Venerable One can give me some pointers, and see if I’m qualified to exchange blows with the Venerable One?

The passers-by were immediately struck into silence.

Since the ones who could stay behind and watch were all Bucket-level and above, they could tell the difference between strength.

At least, they could tell that his move Sheng Xingchen made was extremely formidable. They secretly estimated that it would injure anything in proximity, and kill anything that touched it!

Furthermore, his control was remarkable, and there was no wastage of power at all. If he had only used a short period of one year to learn this, then he really was a genius. Azure Mountain really was amazing.

When they looked at Vigilante A, they saw that his face was slightly grave, showing that Sheng Xingchen’s move was indeed extraordinary...

“Mr. Rich Host, it’s not really good to pretend now...” The System said gloomily.

“Why not?”

“He’s too weak. I can kill him with just one move.” Sir System was very upset.

“Wow, you really are a model example of acting in silence.” Fang Ning was envious, and asked, “Do you have any less powerful moves?”

“Nope, I’ve added too much to my abilities. I’m not like you, I practice every day. Up till today, all the techniques I use are at full proficiency. They’re too powerful.”

“Then you should just dodge a few moves first. Since you can’t hit him, find a way to trick him into defeat. You have to let him lose willingly.” Fang Ning suggested.

“Mr. Rich Boss is so smart. How did I not think of that?” Sir System said in admiration.

“It’s because you don’t know humans. Humans won’t be convinced if they lose in a close match.” Fang Ning said with deep feelings.

...

Sheng Xingchen’s face was stubborn as he left the lobby, as if the person who had just lost was not him.

Behind him, there were cries of lament.

“What a shame. He almost won, but ended up losing.”

“The Venerable Dragon God is a famous powerhouse. For him to be able to fight like this is already considered good. His moral quality might be bad, but his skills are excellent and he has high qualifications. I’m afraid he might be a formidable person in the future.”

“That’s right, it’s better to be careful when meeting this person, and be polite as well. After all, he was someone who managed to fight fifty rounds with the Venerable Dragon God before finally regretfully losing!” Someone stressed heavily.

“Looking at his expression, I’m afraid he’ll come and challenge again after three months.” Someone said confidently.

“Perhaps it won’t even be three months...” Another person shook his head.

Vigilante A left without any expression, as if the public ‘s discussion had nothing to do with him.

...

In Qi City’s Special Affairs Liaison Office.

Qiao Zijiang and the others were currently rewatching a video of the battle.

The people in the Special Affairs Office reported the large fight between Vigilante A and the person from the Azure Mountain as soon as possible.

Both parties were figures of the highest level of concern to the Truth Department, so they naturally rushed to the scene immediately.

“That’s odd. The Venerable One can’t be this weak. Does he have some other objective?” Qiao Zijiang looked at all the screen playing the competition and was very puzzled.

“I think that the Venerable One is too kind-hearted and doesn’t want to attack this Sheng Xingchen. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know when to advance or retreat. The Venerable One was obviously leaving him some face, but he still did not realize it.” Qiao Zishan shook his head

“Hm, what my brother said should be true. The Venerable One never uses strength to bully others, but it so happens that this person is unable to recognize his good intentions, and thought that he could defeat the Venerable One. He really is abominable.” Qiao Zijiang nodded.

A classical woman by the side wearing traditional clothes looked at the recording, lost in thought.

“Aunt Ding Xiang, what’re you thinking about?”

“I want to visit the Venerable One. The passers-by may not understand, but provocation from a person like that who doesn’t know when to advance or retreat might not feel good in his heart.” Xiang Ding casually said.

“Oh, that’s right. It’s rare to go to Qi City on a business trip. We should go take a look.” Qiao Qijiang smiled cunningly and cast a glance at the crowd.

“Hm, the Vice-captain should go see. Grasping the mentality of powerhouses is also an important job for our Special Investigations Unit...” Everyone chimed in one after another, all clearly showing their implications.
