Chapter 15 - Watched!
'I won't let defeat in your hands go into my head. As long as I can work really hard, I should still be able to beat you and any other genius that I will cross path with me!' Chu Cheng said with a resolute tone in his voice.
He then produced a smile in his face and beaconed for the people in his group to follow him into the residence.
As for Ji Fun who had stood back to his feet, he approached Sun Kang with a smile in his face and said confidently, "I can see that you truly are capable of keeping the elder medallion in your hands. However, it won't be for long, as you have just forced me to look at you in a new light. In the light that you are a really outstanding and formidable genius never before seen or heard in rumors."
"Therefore, to be able to battle with someone of your bearing and aptitude, I will do everything in my power to train and train until that moment that I feel I am strong and powerful enough to defeat you over and over again."
"This is no longer about ego or pride, but about my intense love for battles with truly worthy opponents like yourself. Only battles like this, can totally ignite the insane competitive spirit in me. And you have just woken up that beast from its slumber. I hope that when next I come to you for a sparring match, you won't deny me. See you soon, Hu Cheng. And I hope that you don't relent in your efforts in any way, cause when I come to you soon, I want a battle with you that will cause my blood to boil in incomparable excitement!"
Once Ji Fun said that, he went ahead to meet up with his group who looked at Sun Kang one more time with an inexplicable glow in their eyes before turning around to enter the residence. While Sun Kang who was amazed at the speech that Ji Fun said to him, which oozed forth both irrepressible confidence and an insurmountable courage, only shook his head in awe at the indomitable fighting spirits of these people.
'This sect... I think I like their disciples, especially the strong and exceptional ones. They seem to be well cultured and are truly admirable in their manners of speaking. Hmm. This is the very first time I will come across disciples with such kind of spirit from a sect, and that from an unknown minor planet.'
'If the disciples can be like this, then there is someone that must have caused them to behave in this way, who will definitely be their mentor and can be no other than the Master of this illustrious sect. I haven't seen him yet, but he is now someone I am looking forward to meeting. And it won't be very long.'
Once Sun Kang said up to here, he produced a smile in his face and turned around to go back to his room.
But unknowing to Sun Kang and the crowds of people watching the match that occurred moments ago, a group of people other than the Outer Court elders who were always watching the activities of the Outer Court Disciples, couldn't help but narrow their eyes as they looked at Sun Kang.
This group which consisted of older men that had fearsome auras of power emit constantly from their really sturdy bodies, which eliminated the thoughts that they were old men, looked at each other in shock before one of them called elder Qian Tian, who was the oldest core elder of the sect, said with a strange but excited look in his face, "Who is that kid? That attack, if it were directed at me, I will probably have to put in more than sixty-five percent of my power to completely stop it in its track."
"It's so powerful that I could feel the might it possessed from here. What law of the world do you think might be backing that attack? Cause it feels like one that's meant to cause a total and unending, vast-scale devastation."
"Yes, elder Qian Tian, that attack is too strong. This is the first time in my lifetime of sixty years that I am coming across such an absolutely fierce power. If it were directed at me, I may end up using a lot of my power to stop it."
"Although the kid is still young and only has a measly cultivation base, but that attack, will definitely leave me wondering if it's someone at my level that unleashed it. I wonder what kind of technique that kid used in unleashing such a powerful attack. He must have come across a great fortuitous encounter, since that kind of technique can't be found in any section of our Battle Skills library."
"Hmm." Elder Qian Tian said with the nod of his head.
He then said further with a decisive look appearing in his face, "Elders, keep your eyes on this remarkable disciple of ours for sometime. I feel that he isn't as simple as the main geniuses of our sect, and even the Legacy Disciples being trained by us and Sect Master He Yang."
"This boy, may actually be the one genius that we have been hoping will emerge in our sect and be unanimously crowned the next Supreme Genius of the Continental Skies. Am I clear?"
"Yes, elder Qian Tian." The elders nodded their heads in agreement and began to depart one after the other from the space that they previously congregated at.
Sun Kang who didn't know that because of the attack that he earlier unleashed at Ji Fun and forced out the Core Elders from their individual meditation grounds because of the shocking invisible pressure that suddenly suffused the atmosphere around the sect, had caused him to now be monitored to make sure he was that next noteworthy genius that will be known to everyone as the most preeminent genius to all the sects within the continent, and therefore be titled Supreme Genius of the Continental Skies. A title that will also expose the Great Dragon-Elephant sect as a supremely prestigious and highly distinguished sect to everyone that knows about that special, royalty-like title.
