Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu stood up and said to Qin Xuezao, "I'm going to your room to meditate for a while, okay..."

"Of course, yes, sure."

Qin Xuezhao's answer was almost as fast as his question. Before the word "ma" even came out, she was already impatient.

Su Ruoli asked curiously: "Can't you have your own room?"

"I'm used to sleeping over there. The air in that room is fresher." Bai Yu lied. In fact, he needed the relic to pave the way.

Bai Yu entered the room, and Qin Xuezhao was about to follow, but was stopped by Su Ruoli.

"What do you need to meditate on so early in the morning? There are still guests here who need to be entertained."

"I'm a guest too." Qin Xuezao said confidently.

"Your attitude towards Mr. Hua just now was not like that of a guest." Su Ruoli refused to let them stay in the same room alone: "Don't go in and disturb him."

After some tugging, the three girls sat in three corners of the sofa, also with nothing to do.

Hua Li asked curiously, "Don't you have any entertainment activities?"

"Yes." Su Ruoli replied, "But I can't do it alone."

"Yes." Qin Xuezao replied, "But I need someone else to accompany me."

"Then you two..."

"Not suitable." X2

Hua Li was speechless. She looked at the half-open door of the room and felt the increasingly stagnant air here. She suddenly felt that her home was not so difficult to live in.

So, is there a Shura scene going on here all day long?

Damn blockhead, he actually threw all the difficult problems to me. I will remember this grudge!

……

Four years ago, Hua family.

Hua Yuzhang sat in the center of the training ground, with an incense burner beside him. Purple smoke wafted out of it, and the room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

He is approaching 80 years old this year.

However, because he is a superhuman, he does not look old. He looks very similar to an ordinary person in his early sixties. Apart from his silver hair, his body still looks very strong and not skinny.

But, I'm old.

Even a fifth-level Martial Saint who has reached the level of transcendence will face his end.

Even those immortals who practice cultivation and alchemy are also in danger of dying after a thousand years.

No one can be immortal. If this can be achieved, it is probably only possible by God who is completely free from the constraints of the flesh.

His physical condition was not good, and he could only rely on medicine to regulate his body... Unfortunately, he had no talent for raising offspring. After decades, the Hua family couldn't produce a second third-level extraordinary person.

Realizing that he might not have much time left, Hua Yuzhang felt more and more depressed.

He is the kind of person who loves his family more than anything else, so he cannot just abandon his descendants.

Many extraordinary people, in pursuit of their own advancement, do not care about the future generations.

Many times, for top-level extraordinary people, family will distract their attention and become a burden.

Hua Yuzhang was breathing in and out when he heard a commotion outside the door, which prevented him from concentrating. He raised his eyes and frowned and asked, "Who is making such a noise outside?"

A tribesman entered the training ground, covering the side of his face. There was a bruise at the corner of his eye, and a tuft of hair behind his ear had been shaved off.

"Grandpa, there's someone causing trouble outside! He insisted on coming in to challenge you, and we can't stop him at all!"

As he was speaking, the door of the training room was pushed open, and then a foot kicked the young man on the back, and he flew out more than ten meters away.

Hua Yuzhang suddenly stood up, raised his hand to catch it and put it straight. He lifted an adult with one hand as if it were a chicken. He frowned and said, "This is my Hua family's house. You are breaking the law by barging in like this."

The man held the knife in his left hand and glanced at the clean ground of the training ground. His shoes made a strange and clear friction sound when he stepped on it.

"I brought a letter, but your people didn't even bother to read it. They said they wouldn't accept the letter or the challenge... and threatened to beat me out with sticks. So I came here on my own initiative, wanting to see if the legendary defense master had become so arrogant."

Hua Yuzhang lowered his head and looked at the clansman seriously. The latter immediately replied hesitantly: "Grandpa, your health is not good. This person came with bad intentions, so we want to drive him out..."

Hua Yuzhang scolded him, "Don't you understand the principle that guests are welcome? Get out."

The young man circled around, avoided the young man and retreated.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Hua Yuzhang apologized, "They are just ordinary people, not extraordinary people. If you are determined to be ruthless, they will at least lose half their lives... Tell me your purpose."

"My name is Lin Haiya, and my master is Huo Qiu Shui. This is my master's letter of introduction." The young man told his origins.

Hua Yuzhang suddenly had an idea: "Are you a disciple of the Martial Saint Pavilion? What's your ranking?"

Lin Haiya replied, "Currently ranked fifth... I've earned my master's approval. I've traveled around Daxia, challenging various masters. This battle in Nanling City was to seek advice from Grandmaster Hua!"

"You're not yet an adult."

"Eighteen this year."

"Another young prodigy." Hua Yuzhang sized him up with a sharp gaze. "Huo Qiushui is the fourth-ranked Sword Saint on the Martial Saint Monument. Naturally, you also wield a sword."

"Yes." Lin Haiya asked directly: "Master Hua, may I ask, will you accept this bold challenge?"

"Hiss...Fu..." Hua Yuzhang took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

There is a ranking among the disciples of the Martial Saint Pavilion. Only those who are in the top five are eligible to leave the Martial Saint Pavilion and go to various parts of Daxia to seek challenges from masters, hone themselves, and understand the holy way by observing hundreds of martial arts.

Every disciple’s challenge is different, and it also depends on what his or her teacher says.

Huo Qiu Shui is a sword master, and he specifically asked him to challenge him. If this matter gets out, it will also be beneficial to Hua Yuzhang. If he wins, his sword will remain sharp, and if he loses, he will gain fame.

If Lin Haiya loses more than three games in total, he will have to end his training and return to the Martial Saint Pavilion, and can only continue after a year.

At the moment, it seems that he has never been defeated. He has defeated veteran masters one after another. His momentum is like a tiger coming down the mountain, unstoppable.

If he were ten years younger, Hua Yuzhang would have no fear at all, but now his health is deteriorating...

"... Or maybe just forget it."

Just as Hua Yuzhang hesitated, Lin Haiya turned away, seemingly losing interest. He leaned sideways, lowering his left hand. "You're burdened with hesitation and burdens. You won't last more than ten rounds against me. I came all the way here to choose you as my challenger, not to bully an old man."

Hua Yuzhang was not angry. What the other party said was true. He was so young but he could see things so clearly.

He took a deep breath and replied, "Come back tomorrow at noon, and I'll give you a clear answer!"

"Okay." Lin Haiya left the training room.

Shortly after the latter left, a group of people rushed to the training room and even called a doctor.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Grandpa! Where's that villain? Did he get away? I'm calling the police right now!"

"Uncle, you can't get into trouble."

There was a moment of chaos and everyone looked very tense.

As the pillar and mainstay of the family, even a cough when he feels unwell can make his family members nervous for a long time.

Hua Yuzhang took a breath and said in a loud voice: "Don't panic, what are you doing? You are all so old, and you still need me to scold you?!"

It suddenly became quiet.

He snorted coldly and strode towards the door. "Really? I'm exhausted from all the noise! Go back, everyone!"

Hua Yuzhang walked through the crowd, across the courtyard, and returned to his study.

Looking at the decoration inside the study, I saw an old-fashioned group photo on the bookshelf. I picked up the photo and touched the frame.

My wife has been gone for almost twenty years.

He looked at the huge manor, then at the crowd downstairs, and sighed softly... When he was young, he had been in and out of the abyss of the shadow world, broke into the Hero Building, drunkenly made a scene on the Cloud Dragon Peak, and acted recklessly with a group of companions... He really didn't expect that when he was old, there would be so many things that he couldn't let go of. He was trapped in the manor, and even had to carefully consider the challenges of the younger generation.

At this time, there was some movement in the study.

Hua Yuzhang suddenly realized something, opened the bookcase, and pulled the little girl out from the large bookcase.

The former was 1.9 meters tall, while the latter was no more than a middle school girl. After being picked up, she immediately smiled awkwardly: "...Grandpa, Grandpa."

"You're in my study again? What are you looking for? I don't have any secret manuals here." Hua Yuzhang put his naughty granddaughter down and said, "Your family doesn't allow you to practice because you can't stand the hardship."

"I don't think so. I think I might be able to succeed." Hua Li patted the dust off his head.

"For a girl, a peaceful and prosperous life is a good thing." Hua Yuzhang sighed, "Becoming a Transcendent is not a good thing... Why do you think so?"

"Because grandpa is awesome."

"Is it great?"

"Isn't that enough?" Hua Li expressed a child's perspective. "Everyone relies on Grandpa. If he were that powerful, wouldn't he be able to have his say come true? He could decide his own life. Isn't that something to be envied?"

Hua Yuzhang was startled and asked his granddaughter, "Do you think Grandpa is like this?"

"Yes." Hua Li nodded without hesitation: "Grandpa does things like this, always decisive and never hesitant, and no one dares to object."

When the old man heard this, his eyes revealed a myriad of thoughts, and his expression became somewhat indescribable. He opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself, then stroked his overgrown beard and chuckled softly, "Yes, Grandpa never hesitates when doing things. This path has always been one of retreat rather than progress. I don't know when it started, but I became so indecisive."

He raised his hand and touched Hua Li's hair, saying kindly, "Li'er... don't become like me."

Chapter 199 Where are you going?

Noon the next day.

Lin Haiya arrived at the training room on time. This time it was Hua Li who brought him in, and no one else saw him.

She was also the only spectator of the battle.

The moment he stepped into the training room, Lin Haiya felt something different. It wasn't that the venue had changed, but the people and their temperament were different.

Hua Yuzhang looked very old yesterday, his whole body was shrouded in the smell of medicine, and the air he exhaled smelled of old age.

Today, he changed into a different set of clothes and shaved off his beard. His bronze skin bore traces of time, and the scars on his face were clearer and more composed, as if he had become decades younger.

Lin Haiya unconsciously raised the knife in his left hand, and his eyes became serious.

Seeing the other party's attitude, why should he ask anything else?

It's no longer necessary.

This attitude is the best answer.

"Disciple of the Martial Saint Pavilion, Lin Haiya!"

"Unbreakable within a short distance, Hua Yuzhang!"

The two men each reported their origins and titles, and saluted each other from a distance.

Hua Li watched them nervously from the side. Although she didn't think her grandfather would lose to this young man, she couldn't help but get nervous. She gripped the orange in her hand a little harder, and a drop of juice dripped down her fingers, splashing orange-yellow liquid.

It was like the signal of a starting gun.

The first to launch the attack was Lin Haiya. In a bright white afterimage that was almost inaudible, the sword was unsheathed.

With the sheath in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, he chopped towards the left and right sides of Hua Yuzhang, leaving a cross in the middle.

"Silent sword, killing skills... should I say he is worthy of being Huo Qiushui's disciple?"

As Hua Yuzhang commented, the muscles on his arm clenched suddenly, and his entire arm took on a brighter color, as if covered with a layer of dark yellow rock.

The scabbard and blade hit his arms, and a sharp and shrill sound suddenly burst out, causing Hua Li to subconsciously hug his head and cover his ears.
