Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 39: Low-Key= Hide My Strength

Hearing his words, Qin couldn't help but sigh. He knew these people already have the suspicion on him after all, there is still more than a week till the entrance selection begins. And, he had already become the outer disciple.

Just being the outer disciple already made a person target him, if he had agreed to be Sect Master's disciple, his strength would've been exposed as well. And, that's not what he wants.

"Senior Brother, I didn't come from the back door. But, if you are wondering if I got selected before the entrance then yes, I did get selected. If you don't believe me, you can ask Elder Chen." Qin spoke as he made a slight bow. He tried to get as polite as he could and also make sure not to raise many opinions.

"Oh! Congratulation, you don't know how many people fail the selections. Since you succeed that must mean you are talented." The young man in front of him spoke with a smile.

"Boy, I despise people like you who try to come from the back door. Just seeing your face makes me punch you." The bulky man looks at Qin with a disgusted expression and spoke.

"Me too! I also feel disgusted. Damn, why? Why am I so good? Why can't I become less talented and less handsome?" Suddenly, he raised his finger at the bulky man and continued.

"You don't understand my pain. Do you know how painful it is to be talented? When you want to work hard, train under the waterfall and go through several calamities but then you realized your cultivation has reached the point where those calamities can't even make a dent."

"You don't understand my pain. Before this talent, I was a hardworking kid. But now if I work hard, a thought strikes me and makes me tremble. If I work hard, what will you guys do? If I work hard, how can you guys surpass me? If I work hard, wouldn't I be invincible?"

"Invincibility is full of loneliness. I don't want to be invincible. I just want to work hard." At this moment, he suddenly pushed the young man to the side and stood in front of the bulky man, and continued.

"Please! Take away my talent! I want to challenge those people. I want to work hard. I want to feel the pain of suffering. Do you still don't understand how painful is it to be talented?"

...

For a moment, the silence fell in front of the mansion. Everyone's expression twitched even Claire was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but curse.

'Fuck! You were supposed to act low-key. How come you are calling yourself invincible? Don't you think that will invite trouble to yourself?'

"Ahem! Brother, we feel it. Yes, we finally understand what it feels to be a genius." The young man near him nodded his head while looking at the ground. Then, he looked straight into Qin's eyes and continued "I finally understood that you can be fucking shameless if you are a genius."

Hearing his words, everyone else nodded their head. Seeing their agreement, Qin didn't even blush. He looked at the young man and shook his head,

"You are wrong, senior brother. It's not that I am being shameless rather he is being an idiot. Can't he see my cultivation? It's just the fourth stage of Qi Gathering Realm while he is at the seventh stage of Qi Gathering."

Hearing his words, the bulky man suddenly fumed with anger while the young man got speechless. He pointed at the bulky man and said "Junior Brother, he is obviously trying to bully you."

"Huh! Woah, I didn't know your brain was completely dead." Suddenly, Qin acted shocked as he looked at the bulky man and shouted.

'What the hell do you mean?' But suddenly, the bulky man shot his fist at Qin. This caught everyone off-guard. Although Qin saw this coming, he didn't dodge. First, if he dodges this he will reveal his strength. Second, the young man near him jumped in front of him and blocked the fist.

"Junior Brother, are you trying to kill yourself? Don't you think you are insulting other people too much? Even I feel like you are overstepping your boundaries." The young man turned his head and looked at Qin with a confused expression. Although he tried hard, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.

"But, don't common people normally grab genius's tail! I mean, he should be aware that I can surpass him in the future." Qin's words made other dumbfounded once again. They looked at Qin with confusion. They didn't know what to say. Say Qin a nave, he doesn't seem like one. Say Qin is arrogant, his words feel nave.

But, Qin approached the young man and took ten essence stones out of his spatial ring.

"I am not strong but I am supported by Elder Chen. Can you protect me until I get strong enough? Don't worry, I will give you more Essence Stones later."

'What the hell?' Everyone asked the same question in their head. First, they didn't think Qin would do such a thing. Second, everyone knows the power behind Elder Chen. The sole existence who can even make the ninth stage Qi Gathering Realm an inner disciple.

They didn't expect Qin's background was Elder Chen. Suddenly, the young man raised his hand and took the essence stones. He looked at Qin with serious eyes and said "Don't worry, Junior Brother. I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

'A shameless man encountered another shameless man. Is this world full of shameless people?' Claire who was watching everything from inside felt complicated. She asked Qin to be low-key but he was only making a higher profile.

If he keeps doing this, it would simply change everything.

"Didn't you hear what Junior Brother said? He is a genius chosen by Elder Chen. Do you want to make enemies with Elder Chen?" The young man instantly turned his head at the bulky man and shouted.

At this moment, the bulky man clenched his fist and looked at Qin with hatred.

"Tch! Hide as much as you can. I will see you in the next Outer Court Competition." Saying so, the bulky turned around and walked away. Following him, others also moved away.

As for the young man, he looked at Qin and asked "Junior Brother, since you are new to the sect, do you want me to introduce it to you?"

"Yes, please! I would like to visit Martial Hall." Qin nodded his head and spoke with a smile.

"Alright, Junior Brother! I will show you the way." Saying so, the young man walked towards the right side. At this moment, Claire spoke in Qin's mind 'Why did you make such a scene? Didn't you say you would stay low-key?'

'Sister, you didn't understand this, did you? Sometimes, I even wonder where you come from.' Hearing her words, Qin couldn't help but sigh.

Just when Claire was trying to ask something, Qin answered 'Sister, do you think these people will let me stay low-key? If you hadn't told me to act low-key, I would have beaten that guy. In this world, your words don't matter. If you can smash others to the ground, it doesn't matter even if you are breaking the rules."

'Because there is only one rule in this world. Strength is everything. Otherwise, why do you think I am so crazy about getting powerful? When a man has a dream, he must have the strength to accomplish it. My dream is to have a big family.'

'But, do you think I won't face problems? Heroes love beauties and the same goes for the beauties. They also love heroes. If you are not strong, you are not qualified to chase beauty. And, if you wait too long, others might do it before you.'

'Do you remember when I said I will not kill the girl if she decided to betray me? I said this for the exact reason. If I don't have the strength, what qualification do I have to keep her? Originally, I didn't have the idea to stay low-key.'

'But, when I faced that man in a black robe, I was able to slice his arm. Why? He was one realm above him but I was still able to inflict the damage. Why? The reason is simple. He underestimated me. But, this doesn't mean I will let others thrash me just to stay low-key.'

'I want to stay low-key so that I can hide my strength. And, I did that. I only use my talent but my strength is still hidden from everyone. So, I think what I did was something I should've done. If you let others push you down, you will never get a chance to rise up.'

'I respect you, sister. You are someone with lots of experience. But, I think your experience is not suitable for this world. There is only one way to reason with people. That is to smash their head to the ground.'

'I want to stay low-key but for only one reason that is to hide my true strength. As for status, talent, wealth, I won't hide these. Because if I don't have any of these, what's the difference between me and the dogs in the street?'
