NOVEL WEB Chapter 168 Simulation: Chen Aiyang
Defeated?
Defeated!
Jiang Wuxing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and said coldly, "Are you mocking me?!"
Su Jie calmly stated a fact, "But you really can't beat him."
In a situation where Jiang Wuxing was empty-handed, a life force of 1.2 was absolutely unable to defeat a life force of 1.5, and with the difference in body size between them, Jiang Wuxing was even less likely to win.
However, in Jiang Wuxing's eyes, Su Jie was mocking him.
Even though Su Jie had no such intention, Jiang Wuxing had already made up his mind, and his heart had twisted, setting him on the wrong path.
"Fine! Then you have the guts to fight with my brother," Jiang Wuxing needed to regain his face, thinking if his brother could win against Su Jie, then it would be as if he'd won as well, and that would make him feel better.
Brothers are one!
Su Jie was speechless, "You want me to fight Jiang Wudao?"
Jiang Wuxing seemed to have found Su Jie's weakness and sneered, "What? Afraid?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just not the right time."
A hint of fighting spirit appeared in Su Jie's eyes, "Someday, I'll challenge Jiang Wudao."
Jiang Wuxing was somewhat shocked.
His cousin, Jiang Wudao's reputation was known to everyone, and his current life force had even reached 10.
Ordinary people would cower at the thought.
But Su Jie dared?
This boldness couldn't be cultivated by a small family.
In reality, it was mainly because within a year, Su Jie had been in the Primordial Star, constantly strengthening his tribe, imparting wisdom, creating a confidence that did not lose to anyone.
In that primitive world, every action of the primitive people was for survival.
If he could persist there and lead his tribe to grow stronger, then why would a mere Jiang Wudao scare him?
He certainly had the courage to face him.
"Big talk is easy because it's not against the law, if you're so brave, go now," Jiang Wuxing snapped back to reality and cursed viciously.
"Right now I am indeed not his match, to go would be like throwing an egg against a rock," Su Jie frankly admitted that he was not Jiang Wudao's match at the moment, "But in the future, I will challenge him. You don't need to provoke me, little kid."
As soon as the words "little kid" came out, Jiang Wuxing was instantly enraged.
"What did you call me?!"
Listening to the "click, click" of Jiang Wuxing grinding his teeth, Su Jie touched his head and showed a slight smile: "Little kid, at your age, you should be going to school, spending more time with friends your own age, not here boxing."
"Bastard!"
Jiang Wuxing was furious; he hated it most when others mentioned his "age." Just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by a middle-aged man who had suddenly come close.
This middle-aged man, dressed in traditional Chinese attire with a sparkle in his eyes, said: "I'm sorry, young friend Su Jie, my student was a bit agitated, I hope you'll forgive him."
Su Jie knew this man was a master and smiled, "It's nothing, just a little kid, I won't take it to heart."
Watching Su Jie's retreating back, Jiang Wuxing clenched his teeth in frustration: "Coach, why?"
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "Your heart is too restless, which is detrimental to your cultivation. Moreover, fighting outside the ring is against the rules. Being human is defined by morality, do you want to be a beast?"
Jiang Wuxing hung his head low, not daring to talk back.
The middle-aged man sighed, "Your mentality has become unbalanced and has taken an extreme path. I think Su Jie is right, you shouldn't continue fighting here, but go back to campus, to live the life of your peers."
Jiang Wuxing's face flushed red; he sat down on the ground, head hanging low, and after a long while, he looked up and asked, "Coach, why can Su Jie's life force increase so rapidly?"
"His family background is definitely not as good as that of the Jiang Corporation!"
"Even if the Primordial Star is open and he can access resources, it's absolutely impossible for him to have such a huge improvement in a year."
The middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Wuxing who was sitting on the ground, unwilling to get up, and said, "He has a strong command over power, but he's not particularly talented when it comes to deep sleep. However, he can skip that stage and reach meditation directly."
Jiang Wuxing was incredulous, "Are you saying he's entered meditation?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "Probably not yet, but he's likely close. I was observing his matches before; his use of power is just right, knocking out his opponent without harming them at all."
"He might be looking for his own path..."
Jiang Wuxing's face twisted, his voice lowered, "But I can't accept it, why can't I be like him?!" SamplefromMyVirtualLibraryEmpire—readmoreonM&VLEMPY&R.
The middle-aged man's expression turned serious, "Look at that expression on your face, it's ferocious. If you keep this up, you can forget about ever having a life force of 3 in your lifetime."
Perhaps feeling he'd been too harsh, the middle-aged man added comfortingly, "No one can be number one forever. The path of the invincible is itself a misguided one. Without having faced defeat, how can one be truly invincible?"
```"A year ago, you came here to compete because of your father, undefeated until you met Su Jie, who brought you down. Since then, your mentality has been unbalanced."
"But when Su Jie defeated you, how many times had he lost?"
"Eight times."
"But he didn't care."
"Even afterward, he came here every day to compete, losing more than winning. Did he ever care?"
Jiang Wuxing fell silent, his fists clenched and muscles tense: "But I care!"
The middle-aged man snorted: "What use are those illusory victories? You should move beyond them. This is your barrier. If you can't even take this step, not to mention catching up with your brother Jiang Wudao, it's likely that a large group of children your age will surpass you in achievements."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wuxing's heart was still unsettled, but he asked, "Coach, what should I do?"
"I've already told you," the middle-aged man repeated his advice, "like Su Jie said, at your age, it's not suitable for you to continue boxing here."
"Are you serious?"
Jiang Wuxing was incredulous, "You want me to play house with other kids my age at school? Isn't that childish?"
The middle-aged man looked straight at Jiang Wuxing until he shivered and then solemnly said, "When you think others are childish, that is when you are the most childish."
"You pretend to be mature, but it is clear that you lack mature experiences—"
"Just like how you are sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum right now, not getting up. Isn't that even more childish?"
Jiang Wuxing's face flushed, and he got up, saying, "I will consider it."
The middle-aged man said, "I will discuss this matter with your father, but ultimately it depends on your father's opinion and your own. I'm just a paid coach, not your master."
Jiang Wuxing fell silent again...
Not far away, Su Jie asked Bai Jie, "Bai Jie, who is that middle-aged man?"
His vitality had reached 1.5, and his hearing was exceptional; naturally, he overheard the middle-aged man's coaching for Jiang Wuxing.
Or rather, the middle-aged man had not tried to hide it at all; he was educating openly, hoping that Jiang Wuxing could truly move on from his failure.
As for mockery, Jiang Wuxing was still a child. What was there to mock?
It was just that Jiang Wuxing himself couldn't get over it internally.
As long as he could untie this knot in his heart, he would naturally ascend to the next level, which is far more substantial than a false sense of invincibility.
Bai Jie said, "He is Chen Aiyang from the Taiji School, with mastery in Tai Chi that is almost divine. He has now reached the level of constant tranquility with a vitality of 10, hired by the Jiang Family Corporation as a coach with a monthly salary of three hundred million."
"A private coach?" Su Jie pondered.
"These people, over a decade ago, all practiced ancient martial arts, and had a certain parochial spirit. Now the times have changed, spiritual cultivation has spread, nutrition has caught up, and naturally, their heritage has shown. But for these martial families to adapt in just over a decade is difficult.
Later, they found that being private coaches was more lucrative." Bai Jie seemed very familiar with these people, slowly introducing them to Su Jie.
"Bai Jie, you seem to know a lot?"
"Ming Lun started as just a martial arts gym, naturally collecting information on various sects and schools. Once you join Minglun Martial School and access the official website, you can find it all. Nothing special." Bai Jie replied nonchalantly before asking, "As a student like you, you should have chosen Minglun Martial School when filling out your preferences, right?"
"That's right, I chose only this one," Su Jie said with a confident smile.
"Youthfully arrogant," Bai Jie sighed, "but you have the capital to be arrogant, not only young, but your vitality has also reached and even exceeded the standard by 0.4."
Su Jie smiled without a word.
Truth be told, he felt a bit self-satisfied, but he quickly calmed his emotions and started the next match.
That day, aside from eating and resting, he was competing with others. He participated in a total of one hundred thirty-eight matches and won continuously.
He also earned a prize money of one million three hundred and eighty thousand.
"This boxing really does make money," Su Jie remarked as he checked the account on his phone.
For a vitality below 1, a win yields a thousand; once vitality reaches 1, winning a match earns you ten thousand, with the prize money increasing tenfold.
"Bai Jie, does the prize money increase tenfold for every 1 increase in vitality?" Su Jie inquired.
"Of course not," Bai Jie shook her head, "for vitality above 2, winning a match, you get twenty thousand; for vitality at 3, thirty thousand; for vitality at 4, sixty thousand; for vitality at 5, ninety thousand; for vitality at 6, one hundred and twenty thousand; for vitality at 7, one hundred and fifty thousand."
For vitality above 3, each additional point means an extra thirty thousand.
"Why does it increase by thirty thousand once vitality surpasses three?" Su Jie asked.
"Because vitality at 3 is the highest level one can achieve in the small settled state of entering tranquility," Bai Jie explained, "Of course, that's for the vast majority of ordinary people. For people like the principal of Ming Lun, they might have broken into double-digit vitality at their small settled phase."
"However, don't think about competing more down here, once vitality reaches 3 you're basically training in the Taixu Illusory Realm. Very few continue to compete here."
Su Jie nodded. Coming up from below, he found the number of competitors increasing; the further down, the fewer competitors there were...```
