Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain Novel - Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Fulfilling Your Promise

“Senior Zheng, it’s good to see you again.”

“I’m not happy to see you at all…” Zheng Yuanlin muttered in his mind. He looked at Chu Nan who was displayed on the virtual screen of his personal terminal with a complicated expression and finally smiled.

“Chu Nan, congratulations on entering the semi-finals. To be honest, your performance surprised me.”

“Is that so?” Chu Nan laughed, “Are you surprised that I performed well? Or did I perform too badly?”

Seeing that he still had the mood to joke, Zheng Yuanlin’s mood became even more complicated.

When he thought of what he wanted to say, he suddenly had the urge to immediately turn off the communication.

However, he was ultimately experienced and instantly suppressed this complicated feeling. The smile on his face also faded.

“Err… I think your performance was not bad, because I never expected that you would actually be able to defeat several Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists who were a level higher. Very few Overlord Body Realm Martial Artists can achieve such an achievement.”

“Really?” Hearing Zheng Yuanlin’s praise, Chu Nan was even happier, “What about Supremacy Mu Yutong? What does he think of my performance?” Zheng Yuanlin’s eyes twitched slightly as thoughts spun in his mind. In the end, he slowly shook his head.

“Teacher has been very busy recently and did not pay much attention to this competition.” “Oh? Oh…”

Chu Nan was a little disappointed, but on second thought, as a Star-Grade Martial Artist, it was impossible for Mu Yutong to come to West Cloud Planet solely for the martial arts competition. He must have other important things to do, so how could he place his attention on a mere Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like him?

With this in mind, Chu Nan felt a little more relaxed. He had a thought and asked the question he was most concerned about.

“Then… about the recommendation of Star Cloud Academy…”

Looking at Chu Nan’s undisguised expectations, Zheng Yuanlin sighed in his mind. He knew that he had guessed correctly and that Chu Nan was indeed fantasizing.

He knew very well that the best way to help Chu Nan at this moment was to cut off his fantasies.

However, Zheng Yuanlin could not bear to do this.

At first, Chu Nan still had an excited expression and looked at Zheng Yuanlin with anticipation. However, after waiting for a while and seeing that he did not answer, Chu Nan immediately discovered that something was wrong. After waiting for half a minute, Zheng Yuanlin still remained silent. Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

“Senior Zheng? Are… are you still here?”

Zheng Yuanlin gently took a breath and focused his gaze on Chu Nan again. He pondered for a moment and asked, “Chu Nan, when I saw you earlier, how did you promise

me?”

Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat. “This… I promise you that I will win other championships below the age of 20…” In the end, Chu Nan’s voice became softer and softer.

If Maruk really displayed the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath expert tomorrow, he did not have any confidence in defeating him to enter the finals and obtain the championship.

“Very good. It seems that you still remember the promise you made to me.” Zheng Yuanlin nodded. “Teacher is a person who values promises very much. Therefore, as long as you obtain the championship of the group below the age of 20 as promised, he will definitely give you a recommendation spot in Star Cloud Academy. However, if you can’t fulfill this promise…”

Zheng Yuanlin did not continue, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Chu Nan blankly looked at Zheng Yuanlin and cursed in his mind.

Mu Yutong was a Star-Grade Martial Artist, so why did he care so much about the casual nonsense of a mere Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist?

Wasn’t it because he took a fancy to his martial arts talent that he was tempted to recommend him to enter Star Cloud Academy?

Why did his attitude seem to have changed 180 degrees in just a few days?

However, he had taken the initiative to make the promise of winning the group championship below the age of 20 in front of Zheng Yuanlin. Now, even if Mu Yutong grasped this point and did not let go, he could not refute.

Seeing that Chu Nan was speechless, Zheng Yuanlin sighed in his mind again and remained expressionless.

“Chu Nan, I admit that you’re a young martial artist with very good talent, but you also know that teacher doesn’t think you can become an extremely powerful martial artist, much less his disciple. Therefore… if you can achieve what you promised, teacher will also fulfill his promise to you. That’s all. Do you understand what I mean?”

Chu Nan was stunned for a moment before he nodded in a daze.

Looking at him, Zheng Yuanlin hesitated for a moment before turning off the communication. Then, he sighed deeply.

He knew very well that it seemed very cold-blooded and heartless to say this to Chu Nan, but since his teacher’s decision was set, he had no other choice as a disciple.

At this moment, it was easier to be cruel to Chu Nan and it would instead allow him to better recognize his position and not develop unrealistic fantasies. It was better for him.

As for what happened afterwards…

His teacher had already determined that it was very difficult for Chu Nan to even become a Void Break Martial Artist, so he would at most be a mere fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist in the future. Not to mention being nothing in the eyes of his teacher, a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he was nothing in the eyes of a Heaven Control Martial Artist like him.

“I hope you can be an ordinary person in the future and live your life safely.”

After thinking about the last trace of kindness he had for Chu Nan, Zheng Yuanlin shook his head and threw away all the thoughts related to him.

Chu Nan blankly looked at the virtual screen that had turned into darkness and could not react for a long time.

After freezing for a long time, Chu Nan revealed a bitter smile filled with self-ridicule and recovered.

The meaning of Zheng Yuanlin’s words was very clear. If he could not win the championship for the group below the age of 20, Mu Yutong would not give him the recommendation spot for Star Cloud Academy. Regarding this, Chu Nan had nothing to criticize because he had made this promise in front of Zheng Yuanlin.

He just did not expect that Mu Yutong would still be so petty after seeing his outstanding performance in the competition.

“Is this considered reaping what I sowed?” Chu Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He walked out of the training ground and pondered.

Although the meaning of Mu Yutong’s message through Zheng Yuanlin seemed to be too unreasonable, Chu Nan did not have the qualifications to criticize this.

He was only a low-level Overlord Body Martial Artist who was not famous at all in the past. If he was thrown into a crowd, no one would take a second glance at him. However, Mu Yutong was willing to give him a chance to recommend him to enter Star Cloud Academy. This was already considered exceptionally generous.

Now that Mu Yutong wanted him to fulfill his promise and win the championship for the group below the age of 20, Chu Nan had nothing to say and could only do his best.

However… could he pass through Maruk and win the final championship?

No one believed that Chu Nan’s strength could advance by leaps and bounds in a day and defeat Maruk, an opponent who most likely had the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm.

However, Chu Nan knew that this possibility… was not zero…
