Chapter 118: Is your Pride worth your life? (1/2)

Qin couldn't help but turn his head at Chu Xieyi and ask.

”Although I don't want to pry in someone's private life, you would've died or even crippled yourself because of your pride. You aren't a dumb person. But, why did you take such a dumb decision?”

Chu Xieyi frowned after hearing his question. She turned her head away and spoke ”My pride didn't allow me to admit defeat.”

”So, I was wrong. You are a dumb person.” Qin nodded his head in shock and turned away.

”I am not dumb. I do want to be a coward. If I face an opponent, I must defeat them.” Chu Xieyi shouted with an angry expression when Qin called her dumb.

”But, have you ever considered what would you do after you die? Nothing! Once you die, you can do nothing. I am calling you dumb because you are letting your pride take over your dream. Don't get me wrong! I am not trying to interfere with your life.”

”But, are you someone without a dream? I am telling you this because I don't you are. Neither is Zhao Tan. Just like you, he is letting his qi control him. I mean just how stupid you can be? I am not telling you to stop fighting just because you got injured.”

”No, you should fight till you bleed. You should fight till you win. But, only if you have zero percent chance of dying. I and Lan Ming fought with everything we got. We injured each other to the fullest but we didn't fight like that because we were dumb.”

”He has the power to heal himself from any kinds of injuries, so he wasn't worried about my strong sword attacks. And, I have a pretty strong body. This makes me fearless against his blunt attacks. When you fought against Guo Yang, you could have admitted defeat.”

”That attack wasn't under his control at least, not completely. You noticed this but you didn't admit defeat. And, that's why I call you dumb. If you had put away your pride and thought carefully, you would've noticed that you are fighting against a wild attack that is not under your opponent's control.”

”And, when your opponent can't even control his attacks, it will not be a fair fight. We fought in this competition to test our strength to the limit, not to kill each other. I called you dumb but I didn't call Zhao Tan. I only said he is letting his Qi dictate himself.”

”I don't understand. If you can't control something, why would you even try to use it in this fair fight? You heard Yue Bin, right? Lan Ming uses the Earth Rank Flame. But, he used it because he has complete control over it.”

”Of course, I can't blame Guo Min. Because he doesn't dictate his ability. It is his enemy who dictates it. That's why when Tian Se fought Guo Min, he tried to smile from the beginning to the end. I don't think it was him who knew this.”

”Lan Ming must have figured out and told him. But, this was a good way to counterattack against Guo Min. I mean I don't understand. You are fighting in a fair sect battle. So, why do you bear hatred or killing intent against your opponent?”

”Well, I think I have spoken a bit too much. But, just remember, there will always be heaven beyond heaven. If you think Guo Yang is a wall in front of you, then you are never going to surpass us. Lan Ming, I, Guan Xing, Zhao Tan, and even Guo Min, especially with all that pride, you will never win against us.”

”And, don't think this as my pride. I am telling you because I have the strength to back up my words. In the future, someone might surpass me and at that time, it will just be the pride.”

Saying so, Qin turned silent. In his mind, he had already made a perfect power ranking between the top ten. Currently, he knew he was at the top. But just as he said, he must get stronger and keep this rank. Of course, he doesn't care since he can accept if he is weaker than others.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, the door opened and a young man walked inside. This young man was none other than Lan Ming. Qin, Chu Xieyi, and Yue Bin turned their head at the door.

”Huh! I thought I had locked the door. How did you open it?” Yue Bin narrowed her eyes and asked.

”Umm! I helped him.” Guo Min slowly walked out while raising his hand.

Yue Bin still stared at him with confusion. Lan Ming turned his head at Guo Min and smiled ”Your comprehension over an array is quite good.”

”It was quite basic since everyone uses the same kind of formation to close their door. I am not that good.” Guo Min shook his head and humbly spoke.

”Huh! How did you recover so quickly?” Knowing Guo Min's secret, Qin instantly changed the topic and asked.

”Open your mouth!” Lan Ming smiled and took out a purple pill. Qin frowned but still opened his mouth. Lan Ming throws the pill at his mouth and turned his head Yue Bin ”Senior Sister Yue, we know you and Brother Qin are lovers but can you please move away? You are sitting in a wrong position.”
