Envious Heart

Due to a one long week preparation for the -Grandfinals Round- of the tournament, all participants were given a chance to train and prepare themselves for the final part of the tournament.

What everyone doesn't know, it was more of a strict measures being placed by the organizing committee due to the unexpected and unpublicized incident regarding the armored titan in the seminfinals round.

One of the staff members of the organizing committee mentioned to the announcer during the semifinals round … not to bring up anything about the armored titan but focus mostly on the performances of the participants.

In order for everyone not to notice anything peculiar or unusual about the armored titan.

On the other hand,

All the disciples of Master Wushu gathered in their new luxurious cottage.

Their new designated luxurious cottage is far bigger, spacious and with more furniture.

In this new luxurious cottage, they can spend more time in training due to its facilities within the building. It consist of two floors with a training ground on the basement.

First floor,

As the lounge, separate indoor warm spring bath and the dining area of the designated grandfinals qualifier school.

Second floor,

Contains 3 large bed rooms.

[-Within the compounds of the designated cottage-]

They were all in festive mood.

For their comeback in the annual school tournament, they have proven themselves as one of the best disciples and cultivators all over the territory of Golden Dragon Sect.

It has been a long time since their last participation. And proving to everyone that they remain as one of the prime contenders for the championship.

Everyone was beaming with pride and joy for placing First Rank in all division.

Feilong was the most proud of them all. He was drinking with his buddies and singing along to their victory song.

Noise of … laughter, clunking mugs, and chatters were echoing around the place.

Shams left the room because he wanted to contemplate on his performance and what to do next.

The moment Shams stepped out, he did not notice Hawks was eyeing on him.

While Hawks followed Shams, both Maya and Billy became nervous because they know Hawks was not happy at all with how Shams performed.

He felt like Shams had a special training with Master Wushu which made him feel like there was a biased training only for Shams.

Both Maya and Billy were aware of this concern from Hawks.

So they followed Hawks as well, to prevent any squabbles or misunderstanding between their two friends.

As Shams checked the garden area, Hawks followed his tracks with his own tamed beast tagging along with him

Then he called for Shams' attention.

"How did you manage to learn that powerful technique? One knockout punch! I never seen you try learning or even training with that technique." Hawks curiously asked Shams.

Upon hearing Hawks' words, Shams only smirked at the tone of the words of Hawks.

Because for him, Hawks sounded like a little boy who was envious about something he had.

Even the tamed mythical beast of Shams, Viper, noticed this as well.

< Sss … Looks like someone is feeling envious of you. Hahaha! Why don't you tell him about it? And let's see how he will react to it. Sss >

'No, I am not obliged to explain anything to him. Plus, I have a feeling we may go against each other this granfinals round. Remember! There is only one champion … not 4 or collective. There is one champion per division. And I intend to achieve it for myself.'

Viper understood immediately from that point on that Shams does not want to share anything about his techniques or abilities, in order for his possible opponents to be surprised or unaware of how to counter his own attacks.

Silence was Viper's response to Shams' explanation.

Deep inside Shams, he thought that there were plenty of people he has encountered during his previous life.

If before, he was too careful and concerned how others feel. But now, he just do not want to care anymore. Knowing that being attached to this people will hinder his own goal.

So after hearing Hawks, Shams turned his back and heaved a sighed.

The huge tamed rare wolf of Hawks blocked the path of Shams which stops him from moving forward.

"I am asking you a question so answer me!" Hawks demanded from Shams.

"Well … in that case … I have no choice but to explain huh? What if I tell you, Master Wushu designated each {Apprentice-Ranked} seniors of ours to teach me and I am personally being trained by Master Wushu separately? Is there anything you can do about it?" Shams replied.

"Why would they separately train you beyond class hours?" Hawks further asked in a confused tone.

"Maybe it is because they see more potential in me than they see in you." Shams deliberately replied in a manner where Hawks will be provoked.

Unlike Hawks, Shams already felt the approaching presence of Maya and Billy.

So to make Hawks look like someone starting a fight with Shams, he used words and replied in a manner where Hawks will be provoked.

With this, a tension will arise between the others.

And just maybe. If he succeeds in pushing Hawks buttons, Hawks may do the worst thing and get disqualified.

One thing that others do not remember, Master Wushu made them all promise that whoever initiate another trouble will be barred from participating the tournament at all.

'Just maybe. If he creates a fight here … there will be one less opponent to worry.' Shams loudly thought to himself.

But Viper could hear it all.

< Sss … You are indeed ruthless! … Sss > Viper uttered to Shams directly within his mind.

Advance Plea!

By March 7, it will be my birthday.

I plan to buy something special for my parents and order some seafood for my family. It is a favorite of my parents. Instead of asking a gift from them, I plan to give them a gift for raising me and sacrificing a lot for my education.

Once again, thank you so much!
