Chapter 034 – Even On The Brink Of Death, You Have To Claim Victory (2/2)
“Young Master, the big clan elder has invited you in.” The slave said respectfully.
Zhou Peng kept his gaze and smirked as though he was mocking and at the same time, as if he was contemplating. The smile faded in a flash as he smoothen his collar lightly, and walked towards the plaza with big steps.
The entire Zhou Clan filled up the upper levels all at once. All their gazes landed on Zhou Peng as he walked in. Zhou Peng’s steps were steady. He remained composed and basked at the attention he was receiving.
What a wonderful feeling!
He could feel the admiration, jealousy, shocked, and unbelievable eyes. A smile creeped into his corners of his mouth.
The Great Clan Elder coughed lightly to break the silence, and set his gaze on Zhou Peng. he said: “Good! This should be how the Young Master of the Zhou Clan should act! No matter how biased I was with you in the past, right now, I admit you are holding on to the identity as the descendant of the Zhou Clan.”
The patriarch of Zhou Clan’s eyes was filled with unending joy and looked at Zhou Peng comfortingly.
The living hall was dead silent, only the words of the Great Clan Elder resounded.
“You possess a gift that would cause people to be envious. You are a changed man. Although I know I will not live to that day, I still hope you willbring glory to the Zhou Clan when it’s in your hands.”
Zhou Peng bowed and replied proudly: “That’s right, the Zhou Clan will only get more prosperous.”
“This Martial Meet is a good opportunity. Let it be the start for the Zhou Clan!” the Great Clan Elder said proudly: “Let Sima Xiang Shan be the stepping stone for our Zhou Clan!”
Zhou Peng smiled confidently but in his sleeves, he held his fists tightly.
There was one more person- Tang Tian!
I want to kill you in front of everybody!

Tang Tian continued to bury his head and cultivated. He sweated like it was raining and had no ounce of affection as to what happened at the preliminary competition. Neither was he affected by his upcoming second match. Nothing affected his cultivation.
Ah Mo Li was also cultivating with all his might. He never thought that Big Brother Liang Qiu would come down personally to watch him compete. Big Brother Liang Qiu was his idol and someone he always wanted to defeat. The thought of seeing a familiar shadow at the viewing platform, Ah Mo Li was filled with an unending urge and motivation to push forward.
Only Old Fart Wei seemed carefree as though the matters did not concerned him.
During rest time, the two sat on the floor, feeling fatigued, the sweat dripped down incessantly.
“You actually dared to speak so highly of yourself in front of Sima Xiang Shan.” Ah Mo Li said as he panted.
Tang Tian panted heavily, looking puzzled: “Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“He’s the number one expert in Star Wind City!” Ah mo li explained.
Tang Tian’s head crooked: “That’s to say if I defeated him then I’ll be the greatest person in Star Wind City?”
“That’s right!” Ah Mo Li nodded.
Tang Tian suddenly saw the light: “No wonder Qian Hui always beat him up that time. It’s because if she beat him up, she could attain the first place!”
Ah Mo Li: “…”
Tang Tian asked curiously: “Housefly Cow, what’s your goal this time round?”
Ah Mo Li remained silent for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: “My goal is to meet up with Big Bro Liang Qiu and defeat him!”
“Housefly Cow, you will definitely win this!” Tang Tian said loudly in all seriousness.
“I don’t know…” Ah Mo Li mumbled.
“Why don’t you know?” Tang Tian opened his eyes big and said louder: “You will definitely win this! You have to win this! There’s nothing to be afraid of! Don’t tell yourself that it’s okay to lose! Victory! Only victory! All the hardships you have gone through are not any lesser than any of them! There’s no victory inevitably. Those who say that you have to put in your all, so that you don’t regret anything, are all lying. Those who say this, they did not actually put in their all! The sweat and hardships, what were they for? For you to become a coward when it’s time to fight? To tell yourself you have already tried your best so it’s okay to accept failure? Those are just excuses! Just bullshit! Only when you have claimed victory can you announce to the whole world that you’re here!”
Ah Mo Li was blushing as Tang Tian lectured.
“Housefly Cow!” Tang Tian looked at Ah Mo Li sternly.
Ah Mo Li raised his head feeling shameful.
Tang Tian tightened his fist and stared at Ah Mo Li’s flushing red face. He spitted one word at a time, squeezing them through the gaps between his teeth: “Even if you’re on the brink of death, you have to claim victory!”
Even in death, you have to claim victory…
Ah Mo Li mind buzzed, his eyes were focused, and kept on repeating the sentence.
“Even in death,you have to claim victory…”
Old Fart Wei who was nearby with an expression of being in deep thoughts suddenly became motionless, his unfocused gaze, slowly became deep, countless images flitting past his eyes. He became distracted for a while, as countless killings and shouts sounded by his ears.
Even in death, you have to claim victory!
Old Fart Wei suddenly laughed silently, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
Maybe, this brat will eventually become a power influential figure.
