Chapter 202: Bet and Investment
Chu Nan widened his eyes in surprise.
“Senior, you… you’re not joking, right?”
Xue Changhao spread out his hands. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
Chu Nan could not help but scratch his head. “Why do you want to take me in as your disciple?”
“Is there a reason? I see that your talent is outstanding, so I want to take you in as a disciple to inherit my Xue family’s cultivation method. Is that very strange?”
“No… I’m not talking about this, but…” Chu Nan paused for a moment and smiled bitterly, “Senior, you should know very well that it’s almost impossible for me to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. Could it be that you plan to take in a disciple who can’t even become a Void Break Martial Artist?”
“Are you referring to the judgment of the two Supremacies, Mu Yutong and Norman?” Xue Changhao’s expression still did not change as he maintained his smile, “Of course I know this. However, I feel that their judgment of you is a little too early.”
Chu Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Changhao in inquiry.
“It’s true that your physical body has not been tempered enough, causing your Overlord Body’s foundation to be unstable. In the future, when you break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, you will encounter an extremely huge problem, causing it to be almost impossible to break through. The judgment of the two Supremacies is not wrong, but they clearly don’t know how much you’ve grown during this period of time. Compared to the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, you’ve already become so much stronger in less than half a year. It’s definitely beyond everyone’s expectations.”
“However, according to Martial Artist Rengal’s article, my body has already been fixed. No matter how fast I grow, the problem of breaking through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future will still exist. This is useless.” Chu Nan shook his head.
“Perhaps that’s right. However, do you still remember? The judgment of the two Supremacies was that it was almost impossible to break through, not completely impossible. In other words, you still have a chance to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a Void Break Martial Artist, or even take another step forward and become an even stronger martial artist,” Xue Changhao said.
Chu Nan looked at him in confusion.
Chu Nan was confident in himself because he knew that he had a powerful data ability that other martial artists did not have and could not be used to reason.
It was impossible for others to know this, let alone Xue Changhao. On what basis did he have confidence in him?
Seeing the doubt in Chu Nan’s eyes, Xue Changhao continued with a smile, “To be honest, I just want to bet on this possibility. If you become my personal disciple and break the judgment of two Star-Grade Martial Artists in the future and become a powerful martial artist, then having such an outstanding disciple will naturally be extremely beneficial to me and the entire Xue family. Even if you can’t break through in the future, I’ll only waste some effort and resources on you. Although there are losses, it’s not unacceptable.”
The corners of Chu Nan’s mouth tilted and he did not know if he should smile.
Xue Changhao was very straightforward.
To put it bluntly, he only wanted to invest in Chu Nan and make a bet.
“With your talent, as long as you break through the greatest obstacle, the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, I believe your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine, or even far surpass mine. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this gamble is worth it.” Xue Changhao emphasized his words and stared into Chu Nan’s eyes, “Now, can you answer me and become my personal disciple?”
Chu Nan was silent for a moment before asking, “Senior Xue, can you tell me what benefits there are in becoming your personal disciple?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Xue Changhao frowned slightly, “Firstly, I’ll do my best to impart all my powerful martial techniques to you, including the true Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm. At the same time, I’ll help you increase your strength with all my might and help you break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. At the same time, as my personal disciple, your status in our Xue family is not even lower than Zhengming. You’ll obtain a huge amount of resources from the Xue family. A small matter like money will no longer be a problem for you.”
Hearing the last sentence, Chu Nan’s heart stirred.
It seemed that Xue Changhao had secretly investigated him and knew that his family background was ordinary, so he specially mentioned the benefits of money.
“What should I do then?”
“You don’t have to do anything. You only need to become my personal disciple,” Xue Changhao replied.
Looking at Xue Changhao’s bright eyes, Chu Nan was silent for a long time. He gently sighed and slowly shook his head. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Xue Changhao.
“Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I don’t plan to take anyone as my master.”
Xue Changhao’s expression changed, “What? Am I not sincere enough?”
“No, I’m extremely grateful that Senior is willing to take me in as your disciple. However, when the two Star-Grade Martial Artists spoke of their judgment of me, I had already made up my mind to walk my own martial arts path and prove it to everyone. Therefore… I can only disappoint Senior’s good intentions.”
“Walk your own martial arts path?” Xue Changhao sneered, “Do you know what you mean by this?”
“Of course, I know that it’s extremely difficult to figure out a path, but since I’ve already made up my mind, I’m definitely unwilling to change it easily. Senior, please understand.”
“Is that really what you think?” Xue Changhao asked in a low voice.
“Yes,” Chu Nan replied without any hesitation.
Xue Changhao narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Nan in silence.
The air in the entire room seemed to have materialized and pressed down heavily. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
After a long time, Xue Changhao spoke in a low voice.
“Since you really plan to do this, I naturally can’t force you.”
Chu Nan immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you for your understanding, Senior.”
After a pause, seeing that Xue Changhao did not seem to plan to say anything, Chu Nan bowed to him again and turned to walk out.
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard Xue Changhao shout from behind, “Wait.”
Chu Nan turned around in surprise.
“Senior, what other instructions do you have?”
Xue Changhao raised his wrist, opened his personal terminal, and operated it for a while.
Soon, Chu Nan’s personal terminal received a notification.
Chu Nan opened his personal terminal in surprise and discovered that the message was from a stranger.
“Open it and take a look,” Xue Changhao said.
Chu Nan glanced at him and opened the message. He discovered that it contained a document.
After opening the document, Chu Nan shockingly discovered that the title of this document was “Essence of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm Technique”!
“Senior, this…” Chu Nan looked at Xue Changhao in surprise.
The Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm was an A-rank martial technique, a secret passed down by the Xue family. Now, Xue Changhao had actually imparted it to him!
What was he thinking?
“There’s no need to be so surprised. This is only a summary of the essence, and it’s not the complete Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm. You specially came to challenge Zhengming today to experience the essence of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm. It’s impossible for me to give you the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm, but it’s not a problem to impart some essence in this aspect,” Xue Changhao explained.
“But…” Chu Nan glanced at the “Essence of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm Palm Technique” and discovered that it was indeed only a summary. However, after casually reading a few sentences, he discovered that every word in it was extremely important. Every sentence could bring him new comprehension and could definitely be considered an extremely exquisite thing.
“I just said that I want to make a bet on you.” Seeing the shock in Chu Nan’s heart, Xue Changhao smiled again, “If you can become a powerful martial artist in the future, this essence will be my investment in you.”
“But Senior, I…”
“I know you’re unwilling to be controlled by others.” Xue Changhao waved his hand and interrupted Chu Nan, “Therefore, I won’t ask you to do anything for our Xue family in the future. I only hope that you can remain friendly with us. If you can’t, I’ll take it as having misjudged you.”
After a pause, he added, “In addition, let me remind you that if external martial techniques can’t be combined with Internal Breath cultivation methods, they’re actually no different from fancy fist and leg techniques. You can slowly experience it in the future.”
Chu Nan glanced at Xue Changhao deeply and closed his personal terminal. He bowed respectfully again and bade farewell.
