Chapter 56 - Another Peculiar Name
The two figures from earlier who turned out to be two men, one a cultivator and the other a martial artist were still in the middle of their conversation.
After thinking for a bit without answers, the white robe man sighed a few moments later and then said: "In any case, let us wait and see. Perhaps, we might be able to recognize his origin from the technique he was using. Although, for some reason I feel like I have seen those fist techniques before somewhere."
"Now that you mention it, I also feel quite strange when looking at this fist technique. Does it not look like the military devised technique that the general sought our help in creating, which was originally intended for the soldiers? However, that can't be possible."
The golden robe man agreed; however he immediately refuted his own words after stating so.
And then he continued: "Although I heard that it was recently stolen along with other items from the government's vault by that Thousand Visage bastard from the western district, but he was supposedly captured, and the items stolen including that technique had been retrieved safely."
"…Are you talking about the Void Rippling fist technique, that was made for those with less talents in the army? If it is the same technique then… no, I have seen that technique performed once before, however, no one had been able to cause that many shock waves like that youngster did with his fist technique. So that can't be it." The white robe man said in a certain tone of voice.
"Hmph! What do you know?" The golden robe man snorted and then said.
And then he continued: "That fist technique was derived from a certain technique from my sect, and it was originally meant to send shock waves through condensing the surrounding atmosphere with minimum power output from the user but carrying a strong impact when executed with the help of the natural air or wind in the atmosphere."
"Oh?" The white robe realized something after hearing his explanation and then he said: "You mean to say that your sect master specifically was the one that came up with this technique?"
"That's right, however, I never practiced this technique as it was for the mundane people to use." The golden robe man said in an indifferent one.
"So that was the case, I always thought that either you or someone from your sect created this technique. I never would've thought that the Martial Emperor himself created this profound technique." The white robe man sighed and then said.
'In any case, I will be observant of this youngster… Perhaps, he might be related to the military in some way. But then again, his appearance is the only thing that makes it hard to guess his identity. Unless he was a foreigner in this eastern district and happened to receive some guidance from someone in the military… but that can't be right since the military techniques always stays in the military and only those part of the military had the privilege to learn them…'
The white robe man sighed helplessly as he silently thought these to himself without drawing any clear conclusion.
…
On the other side.
In the virtual world.
Randy had just defeated another opponent that had accepted his challenge.
From the time he faced his first opponent till now, he had already fought ten players and achieved victory over them all since they were weaker than he had thought.
And also, he received an ample amount of knowledge points in doing so, and although it was not much, it was still better than nothing.
At this point, Randy was waiting for the next opponent.
After a few moments of waiting later...
Another player abruptly appeared in the same virtual combat arena.
For some reason, not a single one of his opponents picked a new combat arena when they accepted his challenge.
And Randy did not know why they did not pick a new combat arena and so, he was confused in the beginning but now, he had already forgotten about such trivial matters and fully immersed himself in obtaining knowledge poi— that is not right, he fully focused himself on obtaining victory over his contenders without holding back too much.
At this point, Randy carefully observed the new player that arrived in the combat arena with a scrutinizing gaze.
'Hmm… That white robe and then the sword in his grasp… is he perhaps a sword cultivator?" Randy silently thought to himself.
With that thought out of his mind, at this moment, Randy proceeded to look at the new contender with his eyes flashing with greed.
When the other party noticed his gaze, for some reason, they suddenly felt a chill down their spine, but their expression remained unchanged.
The sword cultivator gracefully walked forward towards him with a solemn expression and when he was only few meters away from Randy, he suddenly cusped his fist with his other hand before he spoke.
"Might you the 'Blood Venerable Fist God'? This one is Li Weisheng, a disciple from the Sword—"
"Oi, why are you suddenly saying your true name in this virtual world?" Randy suddenly cut in when he heard the other party's introduction just now.
And then he questioned in confusion: "Are you not afraid of people causing you trouble or something, with you revealing your name like that?"
Hearing these words, Li Weisheng appeared surprised as his eyebrows raised slightly
And then he smiled and replied: "There's no need to worry about that. Everyone already knows who this one is, so it does not matter whether this one hide or reveal his true identity as they could still identify who this one was."
He stated that as if it was an obvious answer, which took Randy by a surprise.
"A-Ah, is that so?" Randy said with a bitter smile.
'So he was a very popular guy? No wonder he dared to reveal his identify so brazenly.'
Randy silently thought to himself.
The next moment, the virtual system announced while displaying a line of text in the air.
<Sword Fool Vs. Blood Venerable Fist God>
"Ahahahaha! Not you too. You actually had 'Sword Fool' as your character name? No wonder you would rather introduce yourself with your true name instead of your character name."
Randy immediately burst into laughter upon seeing the character name of this Li Weisheng.
