Blood Assimilation

Chapter 57 - Why Were They So Weak?



<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.

A few moments later, Randy suddenly realized that his reaction was a little bit uncouth considering that the other party had been polite towards him from the beginning.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn\'t mean to sound rude but if you don\'t mind me asking, how did you— no, why did you even pick this character name?" Randy genuinely asked him in curiosity after calming himself down.

"This…"

Li Weisheng suddenly displayed a helpless reaction upon hearing this question.

A moment later, he smiled bitterly and then said in a slightly dejected tone: "This humble one\'s Junior sister happened to select to this name without consulting this one\'s permission and this one had unknowingly entered the virtual machine without checking his character name before entering the virtual world. Before this one had realized it, everyone had already seen this one\'s character name, so it was pointless to change at that moment."

At this point, his dejected expression relaxed a little bit and then he continued: "My teacher also said that it was better to not dwell too much on this matter as it was better to not let these trivial matters faze this one\'s mindset. As the more tolerant one becomes towards embarrassing deeds or anything of the sort, the stronger one\'s path of the sword would be, and thus they would not be hindered by any obstacle in their path, let alone such a simple thing like an embarrassing name."

"…" 

Randy was shocked as he listened to this explanation with a slightly agape mouth. 

This was not what he expected to hear when he asked about his character name at all.

\'The hell is wrong with your teacher? Tolerant towards embarrassing stuff will make you become a great sword cultivator? And to think he actually listened and believed that. And also, who is this Junior sister of his that managed to mess with him like this, how wicked could they be to do that to their own Senior Brother?\' 

Randy silently thought as he looked at this Li Weisheng with pity in his eyes. 

At this point, Randy could not help but ask in curiosity: "Did you happened to do something to this Junior sister of yours enough for her to do something like this to you?"

After hearing his question, Li Weisheng thought for a bit and then replied: "Not that this one is aware of… Ah, now that this one thought about it, this one\'s Junior sister was very close with him ever since entering the sect and eventually she became interested in this one romantically, asking to be this one\'s Dao Companion, however this one only wanted to devote himself and everything to path of the sword at the moment without any distractions and so, this one had no choice but reject her offer. But who would\'ve thought that she would come to hate this one the following days afterwards due to this matter." 

He sighed helplessly and concluded in an emotional voice almost as if recalling what happened right at this moment.

"…"

Randy was once again speechless when he heard this Li Weisheng\'s story and did not know whether to console him or to simply call him an idiot at this point.

\'Turns out this guy had actually hurt his junior sister\'s feelings which then elicited her wrath in a form of messing with him like this. But then again, why would you reject someone who actually liked you simply because you wanted to devote your heart to the sword, aren\'t you actually a sword fool like she had claimed? But I guess it was better to be this way than to become someone that was a lovesick fool instead, but even so, I feel sorry for this junior sister for falling for this sword fool that sees nothing but the sword…\'

Randy also sighed and then shook his head as he thought this to himself.

He then spoke to him a moment later: "I-I see… Well, then shall we begin our fight now."

"Ah, very well. However before coming here, this one had already seen your previous matches so this one basically knows your attack patterns, so to make this fair, how about you attack this one first?" Li Weisheng suggested to him.

"What? Already seen it? I thought that I was only a newbie to this virtual duel system. Why am I suddenly popular enough for my match to be streamed?" Randy appeared confused as he asked this question.

He had only joined the virtual duel system today and it seems like he was already popular, however that does not make sense under normal circumstances.

Hearing him ask this, Li Weisheng smiled bitterly before answering him: "You may not know this but the people that you defeated were all either in the top 20 or the top 10. For example that Baby Sword Master that you fought in the beginning was the 10th place in the virtual duel ranking, thus within the top 10. And the second opponent was the 11th place and so on. In any case, due to that, all your matches were recorded and streamed all around within the eastern district."

"Ah, so they were in the top 20? Then why were they so weak?" Randy asked after his initial surprise when he heard this.

And then he continued with a slight frown: "Besides the full body armored guy… that Baby Sword Master that was a little stronger due to his armor, the rest were just weaklings who were simply acting arrogant. Shouldn\'t the top 20 be strongest elites with the strongest individuals and the strongest profound techniques, how could they be so weak?"

Li Weisheng was slightly surprised by his words and then he displayed a bitter smile again before saying: "That was only because they did not get the chance to unleash their techniques and power before ultimately getting defeated by you."
