Chapter 22: Old and without regrets, dead without regrets (ask for recommendation votes!)
"Because...... I want to be a demon warrior. ”
Chu Hang said.
Chu Yanran was stunned when she heard this, but after a while, she reacted and immediately said excitedly: "It's really fake! It's really fake! Do you want to re-practice demon martial arts? Sister can teach you!"
Chu Hang was stunned, seeing Chu Yanran so excited and excited, with an expression of "My brother wants to learn demon martial arts, and he can take the opportunity to teach demon martial arts to 'play' him, so happy", Chu Hang instantly dispelled the idea of telling Chu Yanran a certain determination.
Chu Yanran asked impatiently, "Tell my sister quickly, is it really fake?"
Chu Hang was full of black lines, looked down at the time, and said: "It's half past nine, it's time to turn off the video, sister, go to bed early, don't stay up late, staying up late is not good for your skin." ”
Chu Yanran immediately screamed: "Don't! How can my sister be able to sleep! Tell my sister if it's true!"
Chu Hang hurriedly clicked the mouse, the video frame went black, but Chu Yanran's screams were still echoing.
Captain Chu sighed, it's not a good thing to have a sister who is too clingy to himself.
......
......
ended the video call with Chu Yanran, Chu Hang washed his face, changed into a set of light clothes, and went out of the house.
Every night from half past nine to eleven o'clock is the learning time for Chu Hang and Su Liuli to "teach and learn from each other, help each other and benefit each other", Chu Hang is Su Liuli's tutor, and Su Liuli is Chu Hang's magic teacher.
Chu Hang was a "teacher" last night, so tonight it was Su Liuli's turn to "teach".
In order to give Su Liuli a quiet and free training environment, Su Zhilong spent half his life savings to build a small magic martial arts venue for training near Su's house, which could be used as a "classroom" for Su Liuli to teach magic martial arts to Chu Hang.
Chu Hang walked to the Su family's Demon Martial Arts Venue, at this time, the venue was brightly lit, the door of the hall was open, and it was obvious that someone had already arrived first.
It's just that Chu Hang entered the venue and found that the person who arrived first was not Su Liuli, but Su Zhilong.
Su Zhilong was sitting alone in the center of the arena at this time, sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, as if he had been waiting for a long time, until he heard Chu Hang's footsteps, and slowly opened his eyes.
Chu Hang hurriedly said hello, "Uncle Long!"
In terms of seniority, Chu Hang should have called Su Zhilong "uncle", but "Uncle Su" sounded a bit like "uncle", which felt very awkward, so Chu Hang always called Su Zhilong "Uncle Long".
Su Zhilong nodded with a smile, stood up from the ground, and said softly: "Liuli has a game tomorrow, I'll let her go to sleep first." Tonight's magic class, I'll teach you. ”
Chu Hang was slightly stunned, "Uncle Long, you should know ......"
Su Zhilong raised his hand to interrupt Chu Hang's words, sighed lightly, and said, "I know that when you were injured, your parents found me as soon as possible, and later I took you to the capital to find Doctor Dou. I saw the process of having to give up the Demon Martial Arts because of the collapse of the Demon Core. It stands to reason that no matter how coquettish Ruri is, I shouldn't have promised her to teach you magic martial arts, because that's destined to be a lie. You can't learn magic at all, so how can I teach you? But in the end I agreed, and I came anyway ......."
Chu Hang was puzzled: "Why?"
Su Zhilong slowly walked in front of Chu Hang, patted Chu Hang's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Because you are what I grew up watching, in my eyes, you are the same as Liuli, you are my favorite child." You were struck by lightning last night, and I quickly rushed over to check on your injuries, when you were almost hanging by a thread. If it weren't for Ruri just by your side, if Ruri was even a second late, we would probably lose you forever. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't sleep all night last night, Xiao Hang, although you can't learn demon martial arts, but practicing traditional martial arts can at least strengthen your body, and the fact that the magic core can't store magic power doesn't mean that the body can't improve the elemental resistance, and some external skills have nothing to do with the magic core, as long as you nod, Uncle Long is willing to do his best to teach you. ”
Chu Hang's heart was slightly warm when he heard this, and he was very moved.
Su Zhilong has never been as simple as the uncle next door to him.
Chu Hang will never forget that when he was seven years old, Su Zhilong squatted in the best hospital in the country for three full days before he squatted to the best magic core doctor in China at that time, and then begged in a low voice for two days before convincing the "busy" Doctor Dou to take time out to diagnose him.
He will never forget that when Dr. Dou did a simple examination and bluntly concluded that his magic core was hopeless and no one could treat him, Su Zhilong excitedly scolded the "quack" and smashed through the iron door of the hospital with one punch.
Su Zhilong has always been Chu Hang's most respected elder and the most admired role model.
Seeing that Chu Hang was stunned and silent for a long time, Su Zhilong couldn't help but sigh and said: "There is no opportunistic way to cultivate and refine external skills, only to endure hardships and endure hardships again. Xiaohang, if you don't want to endure so much hardship, Uncle Long won't force you, just some of the most basic exercises to strengthen your body, Uncle Long hopes you don't shirk ......"
Chu Hang came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not afraid of hardship, it's better to say ...... I'm so much more greedy than you think......"
Su Zhilong was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Chu Hang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Su Zhilong about his determination, he was reluctant to tell his family about his troubles because he didn't want them to worry, but he was willing to tell Su Zhilong because Su Zhilong had always been a role model in his life, and he often guided the way forward.
Chu Hang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Long, I won't tell you, I want to regain the Demon Martial Arts, I want to become a Demon Martial Artist! No, I don't just want to be a Demon Martial Artist, I also want to be crowned with glory and become a champion!"
Su Zhilong was taken aback and said, "Why did you suddenly ......?"
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Chu Hang's mouth, and he said: "Because when I was a child, I agreed with Su Liuli that one day we will stand together in the finals of the World Cup, compete for the winner, and win the championship and runner-up for China." Since I was a child, I have promised Liuli that I have not missed any of the appointments, and this agreement is the same! And the most important thing is that becoming the World Champion of Demon Martial Arts has always been my dream, and it has never changed for ten years!"
"Dream ......"
These were always the two words that touched Su Zhilong the most, which made his eyes become a little dull, and he whispered after half a sound: "But your magic core ......"
Chu Hang looked extremely serious and said, "The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up." The collapse of the magic core means that there is no magic, it is an inescapable reality, and I will not run away from it again, I decided to wake up and face it. Since there is no magic power, then I will remove the word 'demon' and leave only the 'warrior'. Uncle Long, I want to become a martial artist to fulfill the promise I made and the dream I never gave up. ”
Su Zhilong was stunned and said in disbelief: "You mean, you want to win the championship of the Demon Martial Arts World Cup as a martial artist?"
Chu Hang nodded and said, "This sounds ridiculous and crazy, but this is my most ardent thought and determination now, I would rather be a fool and be a madman, than I want to waste my time doing nothing and become a bastard with no dreams." ”
Su Zhilong was silent for a long time before he exhaled heavily, destined Chu Hang's eyes, and said seriously: "I'm glad that you have your own dreams and are firm in your dreams, but as a senior who has lived for decades, I have to pour a little cold water on you." Since the disappearance of the internal force, the so-called warriors have ceased to exist. You should understand that the birth of demonic martial arts is actually the sublimation of martial arts, even the martial arts masters who still have internal strength are not comparable to today's demonic martial arts powerhouses, not to mention that there is no internal force now? This is a comprehensive victory of the combat system, and it is also the natural selection of the civilization of the times. You're probably going down a path that doesn't exist! You know?"
Chu Hang nodded, his eyes were extremely firm, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand, there is no precedent for a martial artist to defeat a demon martial artist in this world, and there is no difference between a martial artist who has neither internal strength nor magic power and those performers who are dressed in an empty hand, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat a demon martial artist." To be honest, I don't think of any viable path yet. But I firmly believe that you can't walk without stepping your legs, and you can never walk without walking, so I have to take my first step, whether there is a road under my feet or not!"
Su Zhilong sighed lightly and said, "This step has been taken, maybe the poor will not be able to fall behind for the rest of their lives, is it worth it?"
Chu Hang smiled slightly: "Most people's lives can be boiled down to two choices, either busy surviving or rushing to die, but there are very few people who see the third option, they choose to live for their dreams and die for their dreams! Uncle Long, I have always envied you, many people have died at the age of twenty-five, and they were not buried in the soil until they were seventy-five years old, but to this day, you live for your dreams and live because of your dreams! I want to be a man like you, with dreams in my heart, old and without regrets, and die without regrets!"
Su Zhilong closed his eyes and sighed deeply, a heavy exhaustion appeared on his face.
"I understand and am deeply touched by your determination, but have you neglected one of the most important things. ”
Su Zhilong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "The Demon Martial Arts World Cup is a competition for demon warriors, and martial artists are not eligible to participate!"
Chu Hang was struck by lightning, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
He had neglected the simplest and most important thing!
Single-mindedly thinking about becoming a warrior who overthrows the demon warrior, but ignores that the warrior and the demon warrior themselves are two different concepts, just like football and American football, if a great football player does not know American football at all, then he may be eligible to participate in the American Football World Championship!
Chu Hang clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "If you don't have a magic core, you can't become a demon warrior, and if you can't become a demon warrior, you won't be eligible to participate in the demon martial world...... Becoming a warrior who can overthrow the Demon Warrior is only the first step, and I have to change the rules of the Demon Martial Arts World Cup......"
Of course, Chu Hang didn't give up so easily, but he had to admit that changing the rules of the Demon Martial Arts World Cup was also something that was almost impossible to do alone.
"What should I do?"
Chu Hang muttered in a low voice, thinking of a way.
"The solution is very simple, just become a demon warrior. ”
Suddenly, Su Zhilong said.
Chu Hang looked up in amazement, "Become a demon warrior, but I don't have a demon core......"
Su Zhilong's eyes widened, "Who said you don't have a magic core?"
Chu Hang said blankly: "Huh?"
Su Zhilong, who had always looked serious, suddenly showed a gentle smile, he patted Chu Hang's shoulder, his eyes were firm, and his eyes suddenly became extremely bright.
"Just because you call me 'Uncle Long', and I will say to you 'Have dreams, old and have no regrets, and die without regrets', even if I Su Zhilong goes against the sky today, I will change my life against the sky and give you a magic core!"
