Chapter 176: Zemin Yan must win the tournament

Zemin Yan, on the other hand, was talking to Hu Zi worried about what Master Peng said.

"Is there no remedy for older brother Zuo's problem?" Zemin Yan asked in dismay, not only would Shou Zuo's health problem be costly, but it would cut him off many opportunities within the Sect.

"Well, this Master Peng is not bad. There are remedies, but strong for your friend's current body. Therefore, this master is putting a long-term treatment for recovery. Here he has some remedies that can lessen the presence of chaos energy in your friend's heart, but the damage is already done and if he recovers too quickly, how will the young master explain this to others?"

Hu Zi was being very rational and pragmatic, he didn't want Zemin Yan to put himself in danger by revealing the ring's existence to the sect.

"That's not the most important thing, Hu Zi, if you have any medicine that might help, let me know. A friend's life is worth more than a little attention I get"

"It wouldn't just be a little attention, that would be real life risk, young master!" Hu Zi insisted not to speak further on the subject. 

Zemin Yan tried to search the space ring, but he felt a power blocking his senses.

"I'm sorry young master, but I can't let the young master put his life at risk" Hu Zi said in a slightly guilty voice, but his harsh tone and demeanour made it obvious that Zemin Yan could no longer access the ring easily.

Well, Hu Zi wasn't a bad person, but he couldn't let the young master get caught by the sect like a fat pig.

"I have my older sister..."

"Young master doesn't know if his whole family loves him... The young master has been abandoned and no one has come for him... Don't trust this big sister so easily"

Hu Zi interrupted Zemin Yan harshly.

What made Zemin Yan have his sense of being shaken.

The truth was, even though older sister Song was a good person, it didn't mean his family would all be good people.

In any case, it was no use arguing with Hu Zi that he was determined not to let Zemin Yan rummage through the ring as before. At least for a while.

"Well Lan Ruan, even you won't be able to pay, tsk... Tsk, but if someone takes first place in this tournament, it could be that the treatment will be totally free..." Master Peng said with winking eyes for young people who looked worried.

Lan Ruan sighed with relief it meant that Shou Zuo's condition was not as serious as he thought, probably Master Peng also recognized little Yan with just a few glances.

Of course, Master Peng's level was a level that many martial cultivators dream of reaching. He should have been almost an Emperor Realms... Or maybe he already was, but no one could prove it and neither did he claim anything.

However, no one could match Master Peng in medical knowledge of the cultivation world.

Hu Zi, who could feel Master Peng's old familiar energy, felt his soul shudder, the old lady's friends (Mother of Zemin Yan) seemed even stronger than in that adventurous time.

"Tournament... Why would a grandmaster do that?" Tai-Yang asked echoing the question the others wanted to ask, but didn't dare, as they didn't want Master Peng to back down with his words.

"Because I like to see young people show off their talents in the battle arena... Or I just got interested in this friend here, the energy of Chaos is pretty rare in human beings"

Master Peng said with his hand on his chin in a mocking pose of a deep thinker, he didn't seem to be lying and had no apparent reason to deceive anyone.

"If any of us get first place in the tournament, will Elder Brother Zuo's treatment be free?" Zemin Yan asked very seriously. The child clenched his little fists and had a determined look, making him adorable with those brown eyes that were bright and full of energy.

"Yes, I swear an oath by heaven and earth that I, Master Peng, will undertake to treat the disciple..."

"Shou Zuo" Zemin Yan said to Master Peng when he saw that the old man didn't even know the name of the patient he said was deeply interested.

Zemin Yan: You don't seem very trustworthy! *suspicious*

Master Peng: I... I... *constrained*

Author: (...) *remains silent but agrees with little Yan.*

"Right... Cough... Cough... I promise by heaven and earth that if any of you here in the room and disciple Shou Zuo's friend win the tournament, I, Master Peng, will perform the treatment for free and with all my ability for him to return to full health. In case I don't fulfil my word, the sky falls on me and the earth opens up, destroying my martial cultivation"

Master Peng said very seriously a light formed in the room "Oath" was written in an ancient rune and quickly went to Master Peng's body, the oath to heaven and earth was not a farce for martial cultivators, as they could be lost everything by not keeping the oath.

Tai-Yang looked suspiciously at Master Peng, but he (Master Peng) just kept his mind lost and his mind far away, sitting and watching Shou Zuo.

"He must be thinking of a faster and more effective way to heal his friend. He hates wasting time on one person." Sheng Jing said, seeing that Master Peng was ignoring them now.

"He'll be fine?" Zemin Yan asked the dark-skinned young man, who seemed more trustworthy than his teacher.

"I'll take care of everything, but it's like Master said. He will have heart problems until he fully recovers, which will only make him use 50% of his capacity on everything but thought... Well, even cultivating and absorbing Celestial Qi will only give 50% of the results, that is, he will have to try twice as much... But if he tries twice as much..."

"It will make him break his heart. I get it" Zemin Yan interrupted Sheng Jing's speech because he preferred not to hear such bad things any more, he suddenly felt that "youth fire" that Hu Dewei so complains that today's cultivators no longer had.

If someone asked where such confidence and fire to fight to win the tournament came from, he wouldn't know how to answer, only that he had to wash the arena with the faces of his opponents.

The pig had to take off its disguise and show some of the tiger's claws.

LITTLE THEATRE 

Zemin Yan: *showing claws*

Zhong Liang: *squeezing the "paws" of the little tiger Yan*

Zemin Yan: I am powerful and dangerous! *He said, showing the ears and the ferocious tail wagging*

Zhong Liang: I agree... *kissed little tiger Yan's soft ears*

Zemin Yan: (...)

(This was a little tribute to my kitten (my partner for five years). Strong was that way, very fierce, but adorable at the same time.)
