Chapter 511 - Ultimate Fighting Tournament
Adam and Liao Wei had a relaxing time in the barbershop in which they received the best treatment on offer. Their hair was washed, conditioned, then cut as they pleased, then washed once again.
Adam just wanted a change his style slightly and had gotten bored with tying up his hair, while it was also fun to change his look. Liao Wei on the other hand wanted to change completely. He even went as far as to cut his hair quite short, leaving it spiky, and dyeing it bright blonde.
Instead of tying up his long black hair, Adam got it trimmed, and despite it still being fairly long, it flowed around his head and gave him a slightly rougher, but also more casual appearance. Overall, it enhanced his appearance and made it more alluring, with strands of hair resting on his forehead and his bright eyes still being the centre of attraction.
Even while concealing his eye colour and making them brown, it wasn't just the colour of his eyes that made them stand out. It was all the experience and charm within them that made anyone that glanced upon them mesmerised by them.
With their new haircuts, Adam felt fresh, while so did Liao Wei, but he still dressed in shabby, old and worn out clothing that he had been wearing for years, unable to afford anything new.
But now that was different and Adam dragged him into a suit tailor despite how much he resisted and didn't want Adam to waste any more money on him.
Getting him a few expensive and luxurious suits that were tailored to fit him perfectly, Adam got Liao Wei to put one of them one straight away, and carry the rest with him.
Adam threw Liao Wei's old clothes in the trash without batting an eyelid, and seeing Liao Wei come out of the changing room, couldn't help but smile to himself.
"This is the appearance worthy of a boss," he commented, then going to a few other stores to get himself some clothes.
Suits were quite uncomfortable and restrictive when it came to movement and flexibility, so Adam still opted to wear casual and comfortable clothing. However, his old were quite plain and despite being quite ordinary back in America, made him stand out too much.
Instead, now the clothing he wore was looser and had more colour to it, which matched the hotter weather that he was experiencing in China, along with what he saw most others were wearing.
Walking around carrying a lot of shopping bags, Adam who was wearing casual and ordinary clothing appeared to be the blonde and suited man's assistant. Liao Wei who had a fresh haircut and was wearing a luxurious and new set of clothing walked in a confident and joyous manner, while Adam strolled beside him normally.
The disparity in what they were wearing would make most misunderstand their relationship, which worried Liao Wei, who was relieved to see that Adam wasn't bothered by what others said about him.
Liao Wei had offered to carry the shopping bags, but Adam reassured him that it was fine and didn't mind carrying them all, anyway. And Adam couldn't care less about his image as an ordinary person, since it didn't mean anything and he knew deep down that he could make everyone hat looked down on him kneel if he pleased.
Eating a nice meal with Liao Wei, Adam ate many times more than him and was stuffed after doing so as he called for a cab with Liao Wei and put all the shopping bags in the back, before getting in with Liao Wei.
"Wow, you look good, sir. And is this your butler?" the driver asked, as Liao Wei entered the back of the car.
He had an embarrassed expression and a wry smile on his face as he turned his head to Adam, who just smiled and nodded his head.
"Anyway, Liao Wei. Tell me what you know about the cultivators in this country and what is the Martial Arts Union," Adam instructed.
Liao Wei took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering, "There are quite a few gangs on the level of the Black Dragon Gang, and many smaller ones that are made up of cultivators. But it is said that the truly powerful cultivators belong to the Grand Martial Families, with most of the cultivation power of the country being held by the Martial Arts Union."
"The Martial Arts Union is more like a gathering and organisation formed of the most powerful cultivators that is neutral and holds power in the country, but it doesn't have an active controlling position. Instead, it is a place that facilitates battles, martial arts schools, cultivation academies and is most famed for its Ultimate Fighting Tournaments." Liao Wei continued.
Other than that, he didn't know much else and what he had said was relatively common knowledge for most who were interested in or knew about cultivation.
Adam was clearly interested in the Martial Arts Union and his attention was piqued when he heard the mention of a tournament.
Seeing that, Liao Wei told him what he knew about it, "I think they hold a regional tournament every year, and I think the qualifiers are taking place over this week. For those that aren't famed for their skills, have a powerful background or a recommendation from a powerful figure, they would need to go through some initiating tests and a mini-tournament before the regional tournament. This region is too small and was overseen by the Black Dragon Gang, so isn't part of it, but you should be able to reach the qualifiers if you make it to the next region in time."
Nodding his head, Adam had decided. That was exactly what he was going to do.
Fighting other cultivators and martial artists to learn from them would be fun, while from the sounds of the Martial Arts Union, Adam could expect to face some worthy opponents.
Just thinking about it made him excited as he headed back to Liao Wei's home.
