Trapped In The Cultivator World
Free Tournament IV

Li Hao observed the match on the field through the transmission stone, not much reaction from him until finally the name Diao Chan was called.

"Oh, it's finally her turn to arrive as well." Li Hao muttered, then continued, "His friend is a big sword-wielding man, yes. Hm... Looks like it's gonna be easy."

It was not that Li Hao was underestimating someone who wielded a great sword, but he was saying it based on his intuition alone.

When the fight began, Diao Chan first moved to attack his opponent and he did not hesitate to take out his manager.

"Haha... Diao Chan is so, yes." Li Hao chuckled as he looked at it.

Against Diao Chan who was a big sword user becoming difficult with that aggressive attack, he was instantly forced into a defensive position and it was very difficult for him to widen the distance.

In less than five minutes, Diao Chan was the first of the five areas to successfully complete the match.

Despite winning the match, Diao Chan did not let out the slightest smile and only wore a flat expression. Many people were cheering happily for his victory, and most of them were either young or middle-aged men.

Li Hao turned his gaze towards the exit of the room, then the door opened and revealed Diao Chan.

After the beautiful woman went inside, the young greatsword wielder also entered, her countenance extremely grim - it seemed like she had not expected to be defeated in the first match.

Diao Chan himself circulated his gaze like he was looking for someone, his smile then etched on his face when he found Li Hao who was also looking back at him.

"I'll be there." Diao Chan said in a slightly loud voice, and then he did a medical examination after getting a nod from the young man.

Looking at Diao Chan who was gone, Li Hao muttered, "When there's no need to say that, what's wrong with him?"

Li Hao wondered for a while, but brushed it off and went back to observe the match.

A while later, Diao Chan came and sat down next to him. He let out a heavy sigh and said, "After you leave, the atmosphere becomes awkward."

Li Hao turned his head to the side, then slightly tilted his head, "Angg? Are you talking about your sister?"

"Yes." Yeah." Diao Chan nodded once, then gasped as if recalling something. He looked at Li Hao who was beside him with a sinister gaze, "You, you must have deliberately sat there, right?!" Diao Chan asked in an angry-sounding tone.

Glug.

Li Hao gulped his saliva and smiled bitterly, "Come on, don't get angry over something like that. Don't you want to be close to your sister?"

Hearing that made Diao Chan slightly change his gaze, he was quite surprised because the young man knew without him having to tell.

"But... Me and brother... It can't be close. Ever since I was a child, she had always ignored me, I even thought that she had never once considered myself a little sister." Diao Chan's voice became weak as she said that, he then lowered his head because he did not want to show his disheveled face.

"If your thinking is true, how will it be?"

"Either... The only way is, he recognizes me through the fight."

"If your brother still doesn't acknowledge you after you beat him in this tournament match, what are you going to do?"

"I... Maybe he'll keep finding a way until he's finally willing to admit me."

"Heah... You're really persistent. Why not just change the role model?"

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"I mean, you just need to replace the figure you're aiming for. Suppose, I become the object that keeps you going until someday I admit you."

"That won't do, stupid. For what I replaced others, my purpose was set from small and it was impossible for me to change it."

Li Hao paused for a moment before sighing deeply, "Yes, that's it... I'm giving up, it's like you're still not going to change your purpose."

"You're right... Must suck, right? This myself." Diao Chan clenched both of his hands tightly, his eyes slightly widened as Li Hao patted his head softly.

"No, you don't suck. Every living thing has its own purpose and they have the right to pursue it." Li Hao smiled faintly, then continued, "I told you before, that you have the right to pursue your goal as long as you remember when to stop if it will not be achieved."

Diao Chan did not say anything and just smiled faintly, his sadness began to subside and he slowly raised his head.

"Thank you, Li Hao. I thought you were right... I might change that goal one day." replied Diao Chan, then put on a big smile.

Li Hao nodded slowly and said in a soft voice, "That's good."

A silent atmosphere then flowed between the two of them, Li Hao's eyes shifted back to the transmission stone whereas Diao Chan continued to stare at the young man from the side.

"You're an adult, huh? I'm two years older than you, but you always give me advice." Diao Chan said with a smile.

"really? That means there's a positive point in me, doesn't it?" Li Hao responded, but his eyes were not shifted to his interlocutor.

"Yes, you're right..." Diao Chan nodded twice.

Our talks were interrupted, and moments after that - the match in the last area was over and the victory was achieved by a young man in a black mask.

"He's quite strong, probably comparable to you" Li Hao said, and his words were of course shown to Diao Chan.

"If I fight him, who do you think will win?" ask Diao Chan.

Li Hao lifted his shoulders and replied, "Come... I can't estimate it because he might not have put all his abilities into it."

"Heeh... If that's true, then the strength he showed just now is already comparable to me?"

"That's how..."

"If it's not wrong his name is Xiao Chen, isn't it?"

"Yes, why is it?"

"I know the name is quite marketable, but if he comes from a black stream and has extraordinary abilities, I guess I can guess his origin."

Li Hao turned his gaze towards Diao Chan after hearing that, and he slightly tilted his head, "What exactly are you referring to?"

"He is Xiao Chen from the Black Fire Mountain sect."

"The Black Volcano Sect? I never heard it."

"Yes, the sect was arguably a fairly closed sect. But his name is already quite famous among the black and white streams..."

"Ten-star sect, huh?"

"Yes, not many know about the Black Fire Mountain sect but there are some rumors that say that the sect is very strong. I don't really care about the rumors, but from what I've heard there are also those who say that the Black Fire Mountain sect is the number one strongest sect of the Black Stream."

"Is the rumor true?"

"Of course not, stupid."

"Ah, so. Then, why was the Black Volcano sect famous between the two streams even though the sect was closed?"

There must be a reason why this sect called Black Fire Mountain could be famous between the two streams.

"Because they are the ones who triggered the war in the past, as well as the sect that stopped the war."

"War in the past? Was it a war between the four ten-star black flow sects, and the three ten-star white flow sects?"

"Yes, it happened about 300 years ago. The scale of the war nearly encompassed most of the Heavenly Land, and it became one of the large-scale wars that had ever taken place on this Heavenly Land."

Li Hao nodded his head a few times and then asked a few other questions.
