Call it a destiny or a plot Part 6

'Huh!' All four of them looked at Luo Tang with a dumbfounded gaze. This was very much unexpected. They could see his energy was almost exhausted by the aura that he was released, but you can't confess in the midst of life and death.

Taking advantage of Jerry's dumbfounded mind, he quickly rushed near the lady. She was around one and a half meters tall wearing a purple gown that complements her beautiful skin. Her black hair was tied up with a small band.

Her face was oval with her fat cheeks. Her black pupils were sparkling in her eyes. When she saw Luo Yang rushing towards him, she wanted to run away. She was very much conflicted. She wasn't someone from a large family.

Rather, she was from a small cultivation family of Jingui City. Her family has few small mines and few business shops that could barely make five hundred gold coins a month. Her father was one of the core elders of the family and she only had an elder brother along with her mother and father like any normal family in Jingui.

Even she knows her beauty was considered best among most. But except for that beautiful face, she had nothing else. Her cultivation talent was average. It's not like she was never confessed, but a genius like Luo Yang never proposed to her.

In her eyes, Luo Yang could be considered a top genius of the entire Jingui City. After all, he fought the ninth rank junior martial artist with the third rank junior martial artist realm. (Note: Rank= Stage)

At this moment, her mind was very much chaotic especially when he caught her hands just when she was about to run away. She took a long breath and finally spoke "You and I do not know each other. This is the first time we met. Don't tell me crap like I fell in love with you in first sight. You must have some kind of reason for doing this. Tell me why?"

Hearing her question, Luo Tang's smile froze. Her mouth dried up and he got no words to speak. Finally, he took a long breath and said "Yes, it was my mistake. I admit I do not have any passionate thoughts about you but I can love you."

This time, it was the lady who got frozen. She didn't understand what he meant by 'I can love you. She felt chaotic at the moment. Finally, mustering the courage, she asked "I don't understand your end goal. I found you are not completely lying about love but I can't trust you. And I don't understand why do you have to do it in this situation?"

"Because if you don't accept me, then we will die at his hand." Luo Tang abruptly blushed as he didn't know how to explain. He can't say 'I want to f**k you, so please be my lover.' He needs a clear motivation to make things possible.

"Boy, I get it. You want to dual cultivate with her so that you can breakthrough. I didn't expect a genius like you would fall into such level." Jerry understands everything that Luo Tang wanted to say. Even he was a little fascinated by her beauty but her cultivation was too low for him.

He didn't want to use a girl for just pleasure when his goal is to stronger. He knows he is not a genius. So, he must cultivate faster than anyone else to be above genius. That is his mindset.

When the other three heard his words, their expression froze. They looked at Luo Yang with weirdness in their gaze. Even Li Xian was looking at him with a slight disgust on his face. Having s*x after love and having s*x for dual cultivation are completely different concepts.

Although it depends on a person's views on dual cultivation, Li Xian has grown up learning that dual cultivation is considered evil. Hearing Jerry's words, Luo Yang looked at him with a murderous gaze but soon close his eyes and took a deep breath.

He looked at the girl with anger on her face and explained "Well, he is indeed right. I am doing this for the sake of dual cultivation or rather for the sake of absorbing your yin essence."

"Evil Bastard! Let go of me." Finally, when Luo Tang admitted himself, the anger on her face grew. She was completely disgusted by his words. She forcefully took her hand back but found he was holding it tight.

"Please listen to me! Just once, give me a chance to explain." Luo Tang didn't let go of her hands and asked with a grim expression. He didn't want to let go of her so, he pulled her even closer. Only then, he let go of her hands and put his hands on her cheeks.

She tried to escape but he didn't let her go.

"Please! Just once! Listen to me. I am not doing this for the sake of breakthrough........ Okay, I am not doing evil dual cultivation where I absorb your yin essence and destroy your cultivation. Please just listen to me for once!"

When he shouted out loud, energy burst out of him. This energy was different than his normal spiritual energy. It was more like the sun's energy. Once erupting out, it began to burn his body. He gritted his teeth with pain and controlled those energies. He forcefully succeeds in suppressing the energy on his body.

When this happened, everyone was shocked. Especially the girl standing in front of him. She felt just how hot that energy was? And she also found it was literally burning him. She knew that was a sign of a breakthrough.

That means Luo Tang could easily break through but he wasn't. She didn't understand most of it, so she finally decided to listen. She stopped struggling and let him speak. Luo Tang was smart. He understood she finally was going to listen, so he started explaining.

"My name is Luo Tang. I am currently sixteen and the third rank Junior Martial Artist. I can easily breakthrough the fourth rank, even the fifth rank in a single thought but I encountered a problem. When I was going from the third rank to the fourth rank, my yang energy erupted like a sun and started burning myself."

"My body wasn't strong enough to hold it, so I got no choice but to find something that can calm down my Yang Energy. I thought of changing my cultivation technique but found it wasn't possible. Since I couldn't change my cultivation technique, I could only look for alternatives."

"There were only two alternatives. One would be a strong physique that could hold the energy inside my body or yin energy that could counter balance the eruption of yang energy. I thought of choosing the first method since it would be lot easier."

"But whenever I try to cultivate my physical body, my chances of breakthrough improves by a huge margin. So, I found out I can't cultivate my physical body because a slight disruption in my control or overload of energy might accidentally help me breakthrough."

"So, I got no choice but to use the second method. I walked out of my old village to the Jingui with a conflicted heart. I knew what I was going to do would be wrong but I had no choice. Just like you said, it would be hard for a person to fall in love in first sight."

"Clap" "Clap" "Clap"

Suddenly, his words were interrupted by a series of claps. When they turned their head, it was none other than Jerry. He looked at them with slight jealousy and an evil smirk on his face. He walked closer as he spoke "You are really amazing boy. No, I should call you little brother Tang. While everyone in this world is doing everything they can to breakthrough, you are suppressing your breakthrough."

"Fate is really mysterious, don't you think? You thought your cultivation was moving fast and improving in a rapid rate but soon you realize you have a bigger problem. And to solve such problem, you need choose such a pathetic path."

"You see, the difference between geniuses like you and common folks like me is a single realm. You are third rank Junior Martial Artist who is on equal terms with the ninth rank Junior Martial Artist like me. But if you breakthrough, your strength would improve by a huge margin. You would be able to suppress me with a snap of your finger."

"And believe me, I've gone through these kinds of situation many times. And through all these times, I learned it would be almost impossible to stop a geniuses like you from a breakthrough. So, when my brother told me about a magical treasure that could instantly suppress others cultivation realm by one rank, I was utterly shocked."

"You see, it wasn't me being late but rather I decided to show up late. He was my young brother. I didn't want to bear a curse of killing my own brother with my own hands for the sake of a treasure. So, I let you guys kill him." Suddenly, he gave them a deep look as he continued.

"One is the fifth rank Junior Martial Artist who could barely fight the average sixth rank Junior Martial Artist like me. Another is a genius swordsman who can fight at least three or four ranks above him. That's terrifying but he is only the second rank Junior Swordsman. A lady whose cultivation is also at the fifth rank junior martial artist. And finally, a terrifying genius who can fight six ranks above him."

"I don't know where you got your guts to explain all these in front of me instead of running away with her. But I can tell you. I am going to kill all four of you and take away that treasure. That's your fate."
