Chapter 80: Why Should I Give You My Respect?

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"You…"

"Don’t go overboard!"

The two male Original Infant staged disciples glared at Xu Que as if they had felt extraordinary shame and humiliation caused by him. They were ready to pounce on Xu Que anytime!

Xu Que gave a chilly gaze and stared at them mockingly without any trace of fear in his eyes. It was clear that he had never regarded them seriously. His imposing demeanor was always so tranquil and yet so intense at the same time.

This sudden change in his attitude wasn’t anticipated by any of them.

When the white robed man appeared and instructed the two male disciples to apologize, the two female disciples weren’t the only ones who were taken aback and surprised. Even Zeng Fan Rong and the others couldn’t believe it.

Why would a master from the Sky Incense Valley want his own members to apologize to an outsider?

Alright, it could be that this master was more on the reasonable side and was being fair?

However, what was most surprising was that Xu Que relentlessly persisted that the two male disciples kneel, kowtow and apologize to him.

No… no one will oblige to that no matter who was it.

As if witnessing the acts of a lunatic, Zeng FanRong and the others stared at Xu Que. One by one, they thought, "This Brother Hua is definitely courting death and it seems like he wants to wage a war with the Sky Incense Valley ‘till the end."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"

The system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head again. He would not allow any chance to act tough slip away from his hands.

"Whatever. I don’t have any more patience to wait for you people to kneel. I want to end the unfinished fight we had just now. I can give you all a one move handicap against me. Show me what you’ve got!"

Xu Que abruptly shook his head, took out and gripped his Buster Sword and pointed it right at the two Original Infant disciples.

The two of them felt intimidated on the spot and involuntarily retreated a step.

At the same time, the white robed man’s figure suddenly moved. He cut in front of the two disciples in an instant and stared at Xu Que ever calmly with his enigmatic eyes.

"Friend, indeed we have no rule saying that no one must break the Spell. Since you’ve broken the Spell, we ought to regard you as having passed. And now, I, Ye Gu Ming, am standing here, apologizing to you on behalf of both of my disciples. Show me some respect in return and we shall call it a day. What do you think?" He asked with a refined tone and lightly chuckled.

Xu Que shook his head and grimly snorted, "Why should I give you any respect?"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"

Ye Gu Ming was taken aback momentarily. The smile on his face became slightly rigid, not believing that Xu Que’s character could be this headstrong. He didn’t even budge after two polite offers to resolve the situation on a peaceful note.

Zeng Fan Rong and the others almost vomited blood while witnessing from the side. They thought that this Brother Hua was being too bold but they also felt that he wasn’t here to join the Contest at all and it seemed like he was here to dig his own grave.

He had offended the Sky Incense Valley members on such a bad note. And now, the disciples’ master even came personally to resolve the situation but Xu Que didn’t give him an inch of respect. If he was really accepted into the Sky Incense Valley, wouldn’t he be taught a cruel lesson after?

"..." The two female disciples were astounded. Apparently, they had never seen their own master being stepped all over like this before. This black robed young man’s character was really headstrong to the point that it gave everybody a suffocating feeling.

"Friend, there is no need to do this. With your strength, you have no problem in entering our Sky Incense Valley. In the future, we could possibly have a master-disciple relationship." Ye Gu Ming said with his tone as mild-manner as before.

Xu Que gave a grim laugh and ignored his words.

What dog shit Sky Incense Valley? He didn’t have any intention to join the Sect at all. His reason for being here today was simply to act tough.

To act tough without any problems. Even if trouble was stirred, it would be a small one.

However, there were people who purposely provoked him. On top of that, they even wanted to kill him. This wasn’t a small problem anymore. Xu Que would never let this matter slide.

He requested to continue the fight and even allowed a one move handicap for his opponent. Apparently, he wanted to test out the "Dark Willow Limbo", which was being imitated by the Phaseless Magic. And of course, this would also allow him to act tough at the same time!

With any amount of hatred and any amount of hardships, he would never give up on this secretive and grand occupation of acting tough!

Ye Gu Ming paused for a few moments and briefly laughed, "Why not we do it this way. Since you have already passed the first stage, I shall let you take the third stage in advance as a compensation. What do you think?"

Zeng Fan Rong and the others momentarily became green with envy upon hearing those words.

To be able to skip the second stage which was the hardest one and directly enter the third stage, isn't this offer too good for a compensation?

Also, once the third stage was cleared, one could immediately receive the Sky Incense Valley Entrance Order. Once the final fourth stage had been cleared, one could have the privilege of undergoing the Elite Disciple selection in the Imperial City. Anyone would be envious!

"No thanks. I, Hua Wu Que, don’t have to resort to such means. If going through the process is a requirement, I will definitely do it. There’s no need to skip them! This time, I shall give you face and will let this matter rest for now!" Xu Que waved his hand in rejection of Ye Gu Ming’s suggestion but didn’t persist in his tyranny.

If he didn’t do that, he wouldn’t be able to continue acting tough.

The way to act tough required one to slowly progress in stages. If he did everything in one shot, it wouldn’t be satisfactory.

…

Ye Gu Ming clearly heard Xu Que’s words and creased his brows. He only said "Let the matter rest for now". That means, he would continue to pursue the matter in the future.

However, he ultimately shook his head and ignored the fact. He clasped his hands in thanks and nodded, "I give you my thanks on behalf of both of my disciples! But, do you really not wish to skip over the second stage?"

"I'm sure!" Xu Que rejected without thinking at all.

After that, he turned his head and he saw… Zeng Fan Rong and the others trying their utmost best to cue him not to reject the offer with their eyes.

Ye Gu Ming lightly laughed and said, "I’ve already witnessed your strength when I arrived just now. However, this second stage… tests one’s luck. It has very little to do with one’s strength. Therefore, I will ask you again. Are you sure that you don’t want to skip it?"

Xu Que impatiently said, "Stop talking nonsense with me. I won’t skip!"

Following, he looked towards Zeng Fan Rong and the others and called out, "Brother Zeng, let’s go and register!"

"The Registration Point is on the mountain. You will be able to see it there." Ye Gu Ming smiled and pointed to one of the tall mountains behind far in the distance.

Xu Que nodded and walked off with Zeng FanRong and the rest.

The others looked extremely stiff and became panicky.

Brother, actually we don’t know one another very well. Could you please act like you don’t know us?

They didn’t want the Sky Incense Valley disciples to have the impression that they were together with Xu Que, as they were afraid of being ostracized if they managed to join the Sect.

However, when Xu Que walked over with a warm expression, the few of them did not dare to say anything to him and could only laugh in response.

Other than Xu Que, all of the others clasped their hands in respect to Ye Gu Ming and said their byes. Following, they activated their skills and rushed towards the mountain top.

After sending them off, Ye Gu Ming’s smile gradually dissipated and became expressionless.

The two Original Infant Stage men pleaded apprehensively, "Master, although it was us who touched him first, but he went overboard. If we allow him to get the Entrance Order, in the future…"

"Shut up!" Ye Gu Ming reprimanded and then coldly stated, "The Water Empress will arrive in the Fire Country’s Imperial City in a few days time and personally impart her skills to the to-be Elite Disciple. I don’t wish to cause any troubles during this time. Do you two understand?"

"Yes!" The two men immediately nodded.

Ye Gu Ming’s face then slightly relaxed, and deeply said, "That man in the black robe is not simple. Even if I pitted myself against him, I cannot guarantee my victory."

"Wh-What?" The two male Original Infant Stage disciples and the two female Golden Core Staged disciples were taken aback on the spot.
