Chang Li's Frustration.

Alex faced Chang Li, who was utterly bewildered.

"What do you mean by that, BIG BROTHER LI!!!" Chang Li suddenly erupted in anger.

"I said I would give up the tou—" Alex started to say.

"ARE YOU GOING TO SACRIFICE YOUR FUTURE FOR ME?" Chang Li fiercely confronted Alex.

Alex raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? Listen, I participated in this tournament because my Master told me to. He would probably drag me to the Crimson Battle Gate if I refused," he explained. Sect Master Lin was a really good Master but he was forceful with his knowledge, all the useless Stuff he had learned in the past made Alex shudder right now, he was learning stuff that we would never use but Sect Master Lin gave him big orders to learn them, He had no choice, All the stuff he learned they were too little for him, he had many different techniques that would be used against them but Sect Master Lin didn't listen to him and told him to learn all that so Alex did it he learned many of the stuff he would never use it, That is Sect Master Lin Someone who wanted him to learn everything so he would never have been into danger, in his mind he would go out of any danger if he learned all those stuff, Alex didn't know this but he was reconsidering becoming his disciple back then when did, But Now Alex looked at Chang Li.

"Oh..." Chang Li blushed with embarrassment at his outburst.

Alex studied him and leaned back in his chair. "I see now. You plan to follow me after this tournament is over," he speculated.

Chang Li was curious. "Why?"

Alex chuckled. "You're going to become a man," he teased before shifting his focus back to the arena.

After a few hours, the winners were decided and gathered on a large podium-like stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have our winners here. The first-place winner is The Light Sword Chang Li!!!" the announcer declared, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Chang Li smiled modestly.

"Second place goes to Light Tap Win Zhi Li!!!" the announcer announced.

People cheered even more, his nonchalant attitude and powers made many girls fans of him, they were already making fun of clubs for him, All the males who were fascinated by his speed and attack, were also his fans, and they wanted to become like him, someone that defeated their enemies in few little seconds.

"Third place is awarded to Light Speed Deity Tan Ming!!!" the announcer proclaimed. 

People started cheering for him but he had a lot fewer fans than the other three, he defeated his enemies but he needed an extremely long time for many of them like Core Disciples, but the other two defeated their enemies in seconds, Tan Ming cursed at this, he got to fight Alex very quick when he came down in the Arena and got injured, that dwindled his powers to the extent he could not even use his Light speed.

"All the winners will personally receive their rewards from the Sect Master, and with this, the Tournament of Courage has come to an end!!!" the announcer concluded.

Alex breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he no longer had to participate in these tiresome fights. He could now focus on studying the Space Element Essence he had acquired, a task he found far more interesting.

However, Tan Ming approached him before he could leave.

"Huh? Is there something you need, Tan Ming?" Alex asked, not expecting a confrontation. Fighting among disciples was prohibited here, and they had to use the arena for formal battles.

"In the next battle, I won't be defeated," Tan Ming declared and walked away.

Alex remained where he stood, puzzled by Tan Ming's statement.

Sometime later, Chang Li inquired about their destination.

"Where do you want me to follow you, Big Brother Li?" he asked.

Alex didn't respond verbally but signaled for Chang Li to follow him. They were in a different section of the city now.

"Wait... Wait... Wait... Where are we?" Chang Li asked, bewildered by his surroundings.

They were in a part of the city that was quite popular among the sect's disciples.

"Red Light District," Alex said matter-of-factly.

Chang Li turned beet red and stammered, "Nnnn...no, I c—"

But Alex quickly silenced him by placing a finger on his lips, looking at Chang Li with an elder's wisdom, as if imparting a valuable lesson.

"Shhh... Listen to me, Junior Brother Chang. Sometimes, you need to release your frustrations in a controlled environment. This is one way to do it without causing harm to anyone. Everyone goes through this phase, so you can look forward to it," he advised Chang Li. Then he entered a brothel, gesturing for Chang Li to follow.

"OHHH, Young Master Li!!!"

"You're here!"

"Take us, Master!"

The women in the brothel noticed Alex and eagerly approached him. They were all stunningly beautiful and wore minimal attire.

Chang Li turned even redder and stuttered, "Help..."

However, Alex just smiled and waved his hand before heading inside the establishment.

"Now, you can choose the girls, young man," The girls asked Chang Li and ran and made a line. They knew they could not just choose the girl for him as only the customer could choose the girl, They were all beautiful all the men who looked at them would have a hard time choosing any of them so they smiled at Chang Li and waited for Chang Li to choose them, Chang Li looked all of them and tried to discern his feelings right now, But no matter what he could not choose any of them, they were all too beautiful and he was too young to be able to choose someone at this moment, He wanted one he would choose to be perfect.

As Chang Li struggled with his decision, his expression changed.

"Qing Fa?"
