Chapter 54: Confidence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Chu Nan did not think much of the sudden change in att.i.tude, it was beneficial for West Cloud Academy that everyone placed a high importance on this compet.i.tion.

With the extra support of the academy, Chu Nan did not need to deal with most of the miscellaneous matters like he did two days ago. At that time, he even had to register and find the compet.i.tion venue himself.

Today, such ch.o.r.es did not require Chu Nan to spend any additional effort. The teacher-in-charge whose att.i.tude had changed greatly had long arranged things for him abnormally well, allowing him to enjoy the pleasure of being carefully waited on.

“Heh, Chu Nan, are you confident?”

Dong Fang had not come to watch the battle two days ago. This was the first time he had come today. After he got out of the car, he ran around wildly. At this moment, he appeared out of nowhere and asked Chu Nan with a serious expression when he saw him.

Chu Nan glanced at his expression and shook his head.

“Not confident?” Dong Fang was stunned, and then he frowned, “Indeed. I looked around just now. The remaining partic.i.p.ating martial artists are indeed not easy to deal with. I just casually walked around and saw at least ten Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists. d.a.m.n, this is below the age of 20. Why

are there so many Internal Breath Realm fellows?”

Chu Nan rolled his eyes.

“Nonsense. It’s not rare to see young martial artists who can perfect the Overlord Body Realm before the age of 20 and break through to the Internal Breath Realm. Just our West Cloud Academy alone has a few. What’s so strange about that?”

“That’s true. However, Chu Nan, I asked around yesterday. Among the fifteen partic.i.p.ants in our West Cloud Academy, three of the third grade partic.i.p.ants are partic.i.p.ating in the group below the age of 20. One of them is an Internal Breath expert. Why did he get eliminated while Feng Xiao stayed?”

Chu Nan glanced at Feng Xiao who was talking to the deputy dean in the distance and shrugged.

“Perhaps he was lucky.”

Indeed, Feng Xiao was only a fourth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist. In terms of strength, he was even slightly inferior to Luo Li.

In the end, after six rounds, not only was Luo Li heavily injured, but other Internal Breath experts had also been eliminated. Instead, it was really abnormal for a fourth-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like Feng Xiao to still be in the compet.i.tion.

“Tsk…” Dong Fang curled his lips with disdain. He tumed to look at Chu Nan and smiled,” Of course, Chu Nan, if we really talk about luck, I’m afraid everyone will think that you’re the luckiest one, right? You’re only at the initial-stage Overlord Body realm, but you’ve also entered the seventh round. Who

would believe it if word got out?”

“Whether they believe it or not, it’s none of my business.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes.

Of course, if he had to say it, Chu Nan felt that his luck was not bad.

In the first three rounds, he had encountered initial-stage or second-stage Overlord Body Martial Artists, so their strength was naturally very weak.

In the fourth to sixth rounds of the previous day, although the opponent he had encountered had increased in strength, it was only the Azalu he had encountered in the fifth round that had brought him some trouble. The opponent in the sixth round was only an ordinary martial artist between the fourth

and fifth-stage Overlord Body realm.

In comparison, only Azalu was the strongest. In the end, he was the opponent who helped Chu Nan the most, allowing him to indirectly understand the method to flexibly use his Internal Breath in battle.

Chu Nan even felt that if he had the chance to encounter Azalu again, he should thank him properly.

“Heh, Chu Nan, I’m asking you. Are you confident?” Dong Fang nudged Chu Nan with his elbow and asked again, “Don’t forget that you promised Zheng Yuanlin to win the group champions.h.i.+p below the age of 20.”

Chu Nan smiled bitterly, “Thinking about it now, I was really too arrogant in front of Senior Zheng. To be honest, I’m not completely confident.”

“Not completely confident? Does this mean that you still have a little confidence?” Dong Fang’s eyes lit up.

Recalling the experiment practice and subsequent breakthroughs in the Martial Soul virtual training ground last night, Chu Nan took a deep breath and slowly nodded.

“If there aren’t any unexpected opponents, I’m more than 50% confident.”

Dong Fang looked at Chu Nan in surprise.

“Tsay, ever since you broke through the third level of the Nine Revolutions Technique, you’ve really become different. Seeing you like this, I’m a little tempted to practice the Nine Revolutions Technique.”

Of course, Chu Nan knew that he was joking. He smiled and shook his head and ignored it.

“Alright, regardless of whether it’s true or not, it’s good that you’re confident.” Dong Fang patted Chu Nan’s shoulder, “Deputy Dean Payne has come. It seems that he wants to chat with you and cheer you on. I’ll leave first and return before the compet.i.tion begins.”

After saying this, Dong Fang displayed flexibility that was completely different from his fat body and quickly entered the crowd and disappeared.

“Heh, Chu Nan, how is it? Is your condition alright?”

Deputy Dean Payne was of Germanic descent. He was tall and strong with a full beard and a rough voice. He slapped Chu Nan’s shoulder, causing his muscles to involuntarily jump.

“Deputy Dean, thank you for your concern. I’m in a good state now.”

Unlike Luo Yuntong, who was hated by the students of the Martial Arts Branch because he often protected Luo Li, the junior, Deputy Dean Payne was very approachable and was deeply loved by the students.

Chu Nan revealed a confident smile and deliberately bent his arm to show him his muscles.

Deputy Dean Payne laughed and patted Chu Nan’s shoulder again. He pondered for a moment and his expression became serious.

“Chu Nan, you and Feng Xiao are the only two remaining partic.i.p.ants in our academy’s group below the age of 20. I won’t say that I want you to obtain honor for our academy, nor will I ask you to fight for the honor of the federation like those ignorant people. I only want to say that you’re a martial artist

now. Since you’re a martial artist, you have to face every battle with all your might. Can you do it?”

Chu Nan smiled.

“Deputy Dean, demanding that the other party do his best and not have regrets is a sign that you don’t have confidence in the other party. I remember that you said this yourself. It seems that you don’t have any confidence in me now?”

Deputy Dean Payne was stunned and looked at Chu Nan in surprise before laughing again.

“Very good. I like straightforward fellows like you. That’s right, I indeed did not have much confidence in you, because you are after all… er… only an initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. However, since you were able to defeat Luo Li in the qualifiers of the academy and even defeat Lu

Mingcheng, I believe that you definitely have true strength that far exceeds our imagination. Therefore, is it true that I don’t have confidence in you? That’s not right. I actually have a lot of confidence in you now, even more than I do in Feng Xiao.”

At this point, Deputy Dean Payne even bent down slightly and leaned closer to Chu Nan. He whispered in his ear, “Of course, I can’t say this publicly, let alone say it in front of Feng Xiao. You must understand.”

Chu Nan could not help but smile.

“Deputy Dean, I’m not that stupid.”

“That’s good.” Deputy Dean Payne stood up and patted Chu Nan’s shoulder again, “Go fight well. I look forward to your surprising performance.”

Chu Nan watched as Deputy Dean Payne returned to the group of teachers and students who were in the cheerleader squad. Then, his gaze collided with Feng Xiao’s.

Feng Xiao had a serious expression. When he saw Chu Nan looking over, he nodded as a greeting. He did not have the arrogant and despotic appearance he usually had in the academy.

Chu Nan smiled.

From the looks of it, Feng Xiao must be feeling very pressured at this moment, preventing him from relaxing.

Just as he turned around and was about to drink some water, a young and beautiful face collided with him.

“Heh, Chu Nan, right? h.e.l.lo, I’m the reporter from the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel, Yang Xirui.. May I interview you?”
