Chapter 38 - Wishful Thinking
Chapter 38: Wishful Thinking
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shall I find an expert to be my master?
Given that Su Jingxing was 15 years old and in the seventh-grade, finding a master was not difficult.
The question is, is it worth it?
Becoming a disciple was not stepping into a dojo and spending money to learn martial arts——You can leave whenever you want. No one will bother you.
Becoming a disciple was different.
It was finding a backer, but also putting an inhibition on oneself.
Su Jingxing was now free and unrestrained. He could become stronger just by moving corpses every day.
Even if he does not enter the sixth-grade, with the True Energy Cards, he could still rival a sixth-grade, fifth-grade and fourth-grade!
As long as there were enough True Energy Cards, Su Jingxing would even dare to touch Li Linzhou.
Thus, he eliminated the possibility of finding an expert to be his master.
Similarly, there was no need for him to join a major faction.
Since I do not understand the problem, I will put it aside for now.
Anyway, I can still use the True Energy Card.
…
He took a deep breath to calm his mind.
Su Jingxing got up and looked at the sky outside the window. It was already dawn.
He had a break this morning and didn’t have to report to work.
Since he had no clue about entering the sixth-grade, he would change his target.
Fulfill Wei Jiajia’s remaining requests!
The extermination of the Dagger Gang could not be proved to be due to the Black Tiger Gang.
However, Wei Jia Jia’s goal was achieved.
Those who were spying on the Wei family’s business all retreated back to their lairs, not daring to reach out again.
Therefore, the Wei siblings had returned home a few days earlier.
Su Jingxing need not head to the Martial Suppression Office to look for her.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing changed his clothes, put on his mask, and went out for breakfast.
After which, he strolled slowly towards the Wei Family’s dojo.
…
Wei Family’s dojo.
At the empty training ground, Wei Jiajia sat on a stool and stared blankly at the ceiling.
The Wei family had barely tided over the crisis this time, but the development of the dojo became another problem.
Eldest Senior Brother was a fake. Without an expert, no one would come to learn martial arts.
Who could the ninth-grade Wei Jiajia recruit?
She couldn’t possibly teach the Seven Steps Fist for free, could she?
“Sigh…”
Wei Jiajia’s head hurt from all the thinking, but was still without a solution. She sighed helplessly.
Just then——
“You still have two more requests.”
Su Jingxing’s voice suddenly sounded. “Have you decided what they will be?”
Wei Jiajia was startled. When she regained her senses, she turned to look at Su Jingxing who had come in through the back door. Without thinking, she blurted out, “I want you to join the Wei Family’s dojo!”
“No,” Su Jingxing replied instantly.
Wei Jiajia was at a loss for words.
“Then, be an instructor of the dojo?” Wei Jiajia asked aggrievedly.
“An instructor who teaches twice? Will it be enough to teach the students the Seven Steps Fist twice?” Su Jingxing asked in retort.
“…”
“Haha.” Wei Jiajia resisted the urge to complain and laughed dryly. “Of course not. Since you’re an instructor, we’ll naturally count it according to normal circumstances. I can give you a high…”
“No need.”
Before Wei Jiajia could finish, Su Jingxing interrupted coldly, “Next.”
“Puff!”
Wei Jiajia exhaled and took a deep breath. After a while, she forced a smile and said, “How about letting Jia Ping acknowledge you as his master? Jia Ping’s is more talented in martial arts than me, but his body is a little weak. This can be solved by eating nourishing food. When his body is stronger…”
“No.” Su Jingxing cut her off coldly before she could finish.
Take in a disciple?
I don’t even know what is wrong with my own path, and I’ll take in a disciple?
She is thinking too much!
Wei Jiajia was also furious.
If she didn’t know that Su Jingxing was very powerful, she would have cursed him already.
Even so, she still felt suffocated.
“Alright, find me a Spiritual Pet then.” Wei Jiajia said through gritted teeth.
Su Jingxing didn’t answer. Instead, he surveyed Wei Jiajia strangely.
“What… what’s wrong?” Wei Jiajia’s expression changed, and she said unyieldingly, “You said it yourself. I’m free to state the conditions, and it’s up to you whether you agree or not.”
“Of course. That’s what I said. That’s what the deal is all about.”
Su Jingxing stated calmly, “But you don’t look that pretty.”
“What do you mean?” Wei Jiajia was confused.
What does this have to do with my beauty?
No, I don’t look bad either!
Even if I’m not a beauty who is known throughout the entire school and the entire city, I am still a little beauty who is famous in the nearby streets!
Others, even Chen Xiaodao when he was alive, would covet my good looks.
Only Su Jingxing, only he’s been indifferent to me all this time.
Like a blind man!
Wei Jia Jia gritted her teeth and complained inwardly.
“It’s simple,” Su Jingxing ignored Wei Jiajia’s resentful gaze and said calmly, “You’re not pretty, but you have wishful thinking1.”
“I…” Wei Jiajia almost jumped up in anger.
Even though she managed to hold it in, her body trembled.
After a moment, she was about to speak when…
“Hurry up, next one,” Su Jingxing rushed coldly. “I don’t have that much time to waste here. Let’s finish discussing earlier and I can settle this earlier.”
“Sure!”
Wei Jiajia gritted her teeth and said hatefully, “Then I want a meeting appointment letter with the Ethereal Sword Immortal, or a fresh stalk of Muyan Flower! How about it, you…”
“Alright!”
Su Jingxing interrupted her and declared solemnly, “I’ll get you a meeting appointment letter with the Ethereal Sword Immortal and a fresh Muyan Flower for the two remaining requests!”
With that, Su Jingxing turned around and employed the Eight Step Rising Dragon. In a few flashes, he disappeared through the back door of the dojo.
Wei Jiajia was left dumbfounded.
After a while, she snapped back to her senses and muttered to herself in bewilderment.
“R-really?”
She felt uneasy and doubtful.
Uneasy because both requests were for herself, not for the dojo.
And doubtful that Su Jingxing could accomplish them!
For example, a meeting appointment letter with the Ethereal Sword Immortal.
It was a gift that countless people in the Yu Nation wanted.
Personal guidance from a third-grade powerhouse!
The Ethereal Sword Immortal was a legendary figure among the female martial artists of Yu Nation. She was the idol of all women.
Not only was she extremely gorgeous, she was also very interested in guiding and supporting the younger generation.
The meeting appointment letter that was randomly distributed every half a year was her gift for the younger generation.
No matter who, as long as they were from the Yu Nation, anyone who was lucky enough to be chosen would receive personal guidance from the Ethereal Sword Immortal for one to three days.
Over the past ten years, ninety percent of those who had received pointers from her had made qualitative leaps.
From there, the practice of meeting appointment letters that lasted for more than ten years became the massive reward that everyone wanted.
Especially the people and martial artists at the bottom rung, they were especially envious.
Unfortunately, the probability of obtaining this reward was way too low.
This was because the person drawing the lots was the Ethereal Sword Immortal herself. There was no pattern. It was completely a random selection.
Once every six months. One at a time.
The person who was chosen each time was truly lucky.
So how would Su Jingxing get it for Wei Jiajia?
…
How?
Of course it was with his hacking skills!
The last time Su Jingxing unlocked the Skill Card and obtained this ability, he realized that Earth Star’s did not have the most advanced network security.
Of course, it was not terrible either.
The real good stuff, such as rare items and secret information, were hidden in dark rooms and secret rooms on Earth Star.
They would never appear on the Internet.
Mobile payments are also not widespread, mainly used by banks.
The reason for this was not because people on Earth Star were incapable and could not make such achievements.
Instead, everyone’s goal was related to martial arts!
Regardless of gender or age, everyone’s greatest dream was to become a martial artist!
After becoming a martial artist, they then focused on becoming stronger.
A ninth-grade martial artist hoped to enter the eighth-grade.
An eighth-grade martial artist hoped to enter the seventh-grade.
A seventh-grade martial artist hoped to enter sixth-grade.
A sixth-grade martial artist hoped to enter the fifth-grade.
A fifth-grade martial artist hoped to enter the fourth-grade.
A fourth-grade martial artist hoped to enter the third-grade!
