Chapter 932: Challenge the Yellow and Green-Level
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huaqingâs mood wasnât very good now.
His result in doing business this year wasnât very well because he spent most of his time practicing martial arts.
Every personâs energy was limited, the amount of effort that he spent on doing business was indeed a bit lacking. ThereforeâŠ
He was indeed very worried that he would be successfully challenged.
Lightning sparked. 10 seconds wasnât long, but it wasnât very short either. But in Huaqingâs heart, it was as if ten centuries had passed. When the sparks endedâŠ
âPLAPââ Mu Huaqingâs portrait dimmed.
âYoung Master Gaojieâs versus Young Master Mu Huaqing challengeâŠâ The emcee took in a deep breath and said, âSucceeded!â
Mu Huaqingâs body instantly tightened and he clenched his fists tight.
He was successfully challenged.
This blow was indeed a bit hard to accept.
After all, being an Orange and Red-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, he had his own self-esteem. It wasnât that he couldnât accept failure, but failing in such a manner would bring disgrace to his lord tooâŠ
This was really unacceptable for Mu Huaqing!
âHahaha, well done! Gaojie! You actually succeeded!â The people on Li Tianxingâs side all cheered! After all, challenging the people from the Jiang and Yin Familiesâ side and succeeding was a very proud thing to them.
âImpressive! Haha, well done! I know that you can do it!â
âPress on, Gaojie, the next step is to see your marital arts aspect! You must definitely succeed again!â
The people from the Jiang and Yin Families side all sighed. After all, being successfully challenged was quite a humiliating thing.
âOh my, Huaqing, your luck is really quite bad.â While Mu Huaqing was sitting there feeling upset, a gloating voice sounded. âI remember that I had asked you to sell some of your useless estates to Hong Dali previously, but you rejected no matter what I said. Do you regret it now? Haha!â
âBoyu, you are in no position to gloat over my matter!â Although he failed, Mu Huaqing didnât show any good face to this Honorary Aristocrat called Boyu. âInstead, you purposely sold your useless gemstone factory to Dali. Competing through this kind of despicable means, I feel ashamed for you!â
âHaha, itâs useless no matter what you say now.â Boyu laughed loudly and said, âThis is the advancement assessment, we only look at the result, not the process! Defeat is defeat, it doesnât matter what you say, haha!â
Mu Huaqing clenched his fists and didnât say anything more.
Even a sage like Quyuan 1 would suicide from depression. If a person really had a great and compassionate heart, what problem was there in continuing to live on when disgraced by others. It would be worth living even if the person did one good deed in the time he was alive. Too many prominent figures believed that only saving thousands of people could be considered worth saving, but never considered that even saving just one person alone was also saving someone. In Buddhism, there was no difference between saving one person and saving thousands.
At this moment, the emcee continued to announce: âYoung Master Gaojie has successfully challenged Young Master Mu Huaqing! Then, he will have to wait for the martial arts challenge next. If he succeeds again, Young Master Gaojie will be promoted to become an Orange and Red-level Honorary Aristocrat and Young Master Mu Huaqing will be demoted to a Red and Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat.â
Hearing the emceeâs words, Mu Huaqing clenched his fist violently, silently cheering on for himself. He definitely mustnât lose again for the martial arts challenge!
Yet, just as he was thinking about this, Mu Huaqing suddenly felt a kind gaze looking at him. He lifted his head and instantly saw Hong looking at him. Hong Dali smiled lightly and even gave him a thumbs up.
âThis isâŠâ Mu Huaqing was instantly dazed. At first, he thought that Hong Dali was mocking him, but he quickly understood. âNo, Dali is probably not mocking me. According to his character, he isnât someone who would do such a thing. Then, if he isnât mocking me, can it be that his intention isâŠâ
Thinking up to this point, Mu Huaqing lifted his head violently and thought, âHe plans to stand up for me!? Doesnât that mean⊠he already regards me as a friend!?â
It was easy for those already doing well to receive help, but not easy for people in difficulties to receive help too.
Now that Mu Huaqing had made such a shame of himself, the others were all trying hard to keep a distance from him. Instead, Hong Dali was willing to stand up for him! What kind of friendship was this!?
Mu Huaqing finally understood now why those people around Hong Dali had always adored him like a treasure.
Who wouldnât be willing to be close to such a person?
Now that the challenge had ended, it was naturally time to progress on to the next step.
After the hall fell silent again, the emcee loudly shouted, âThen, we shall continue to the next stage, the competition of the Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrats. For this stage, 12 Double Honorary Aristocrats will be competing against each other. The loser will stay the same while the winner will need to win again to be able to gain a chance to challenge the next level. Then, the competition shall start now!â
Very quickly, the competition between the 12 Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrats started. This time, not sure if he was lucky or unlucky, Mu Huaqingâs opponent was the person who just mocked him, Boyu!
âHahahaha, it looks like when a person is unlucky, he will even choke on water.â Boyu laughed even harder and said, âHuaqing, I shanât be courteous then. Haha, such a fortune that is sent to my doorstep, sighâŠâ
Unexpectedly, the result of their duel was that Boyuâs portrait actually dimmed!
âA surprising result!â The emcee looked at the result and loudly announced. âYoung Master Huaqing won on his duel with Young Master Boyu! According to the rules, for the martial arts challenge later, Young Master Boyu will compete against Young Master Gaojie instead!â
âThis⊠How is this possible!â Boyu was completely astonished!
He had only just laughed at Huaqing, but Huaqingâs result was even higher than his won? Didnât that mean that Gaojieâs result was even more surprising than they had thought!? Now, he needed to compete against such a terrifying opponent, didnât this mean that he would probably lose and be demoted!?
âThis shouldnât be the case, this shouldnât beâŠâ Boyu completely collapsed, he had not expected such a result at all.
âHumph.â Mu Huaqing should have mocked him in return, but Mu Huaqing only humphed lightly and wasnât even interested in mocking him.
If a person wanted to succeed, he should learn to endure hardships first.
Those people who started small and rose up to high positions normally had higher tenacity. There were too many outstanding people who were defeated by the difficulties they encountered. This wasnât because they were not capable enough, but because they werenât able to endure the sense of dejection that came with the difficulties and failures they encountered.
Therefore, it was common that geniuses normally wouldnât be able to withstand setbacks. In turn, those geniuses who were able to climb back up after a setback normally became even more impressive than before.
And obviously, Mu Huaqing had grown from the setback that he just encountered.
Not surprisingly, Hong Dali successfully entered the second round too.
âThen, the second round shall start now!â The emcee continued.
Ten seconds later, Mu Huaqing lost the second round. As for Hong Dali, to everyoneâs shock and surprise, he won again!
âIs this real? This Hong Dali actually won again? What the heck did he do? Isnât he the legendary superprodigal!?â
âThis, this isnât possible, right? He actually won again? And he even obtained the chance to challenge the next level!?â
âI must be seeing things, this must definitely be the case. How can that superprodigal actually obtain the chance to challenge the next levelâŠâ
Of course, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the three people with the chance to challenge the next level had already been decided. The emcee loudly announcedâ
âAristocrat.Haokuo, Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Li Family, male, 25-years-old.â
âAristocrat.Jianzhong, Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Li Family, male, 29-years-old.â
When it came to the last personâs turn, the emcee actually sucked in a deep breath, and in a sound that was obviously higher by dozens of decibels, loudly saidâ
âAristocrat.Dali, Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Jiang and Yin Families, male, 18-years-old.â
If it could be said that the fact that Hong Dali gained the chance to challenge the next level caused the rest to be surprised, this time, they were not just surprised but shocked!
âGod, is this true? 18!? An 18-years-old Double Honorary Aristocrat!? And he even obtained the chance to challenge the Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrats!?â
âI must definitely be dreaming, definitely! 18-years-old! Only 18! Even if he became an Honorary Aristocrat because of his connection with the Galaxy Aristocrats, but why is his result so good?â
âThatâs right, this is totally a miracle! Damn, an 18-years-old Double Honorary Aristocrat, and he even has the chance to challenge the next level. This is reallyâŠâ
âI must definitely still be dreaming! Definitely!â
It was no wonder they were so shocked. It was possible that there were others who became Double Honorary Aristocrats at the age of 18 too, but at the most, they were probably just the lowest level Red and Orange-level Double Honorary Aristocrats. Of course, it was more likely that they were connected to the Galaxy Aristocrats because they wouldnât be disqualified from being a Double Honorary Aristocrat even if they failed at the Red and Orange-level.
But this Hong Dali was not only an Orange and Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat at the age of 18, he even obtained the right to challenge the next level! Such a characterâŠ
He must definitely be hacking, definitely!
âOkay, so next up,â The emcee loudly announced, âis the time for the Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrats to challenge the Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrats! May the first challenger, Young Master Haokuo, come on stage!â
As he said so, 10 portraits lit up in the center of the hall. These 10 portraits were the 10 Yellow and Green-level Double Honorary Aristocrats who participated in this timeâs advancement assessment.
Young Master Haokuo stood in front of the 10 portraits, touched his chin, then casually picked one of them and said, âI shall choose Young Master Yanbin.â
After he made his decision, the emcee instantly announced loudly: âThen, the next is the duel between Young Master Haokuo and Young Master Yanbin.â
âChallenge start!â
