Chapter 28: Taking Reward
The Six Desires Myriads Thought Arts is more like a metal or soul cultivation art mixed with energy arts.
At first, one needs to create a seed of desire inside their body. To create it, one needs to devour seven emotions emanating from the human body.
Joy, Anger, Sadness, Horror, Love, Hate, and Desire are the seven emotions.
Meanwhile, the Desire for Flesh, Desire for Recognition, Desire to Eat, Desire to Live, Desire to See, and Desire to Hear are the six basic desires of a being.
Each emotion and desire create a powerful flow of energy in reality, which affects the real world. Such energy is abundant and almost perpetual, as there is no end to desires and emotions.
However, like harvesting metals from the ocean, it’s almost impossible for even known individuals to reap benefits from such formless energy.
But who was Mara? He is the embodiment of all evil thoughts and desires of a living being!
His Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Arts can harness power from other people’s emotions and desires, using it against them.
After all, it’s what if your opponent is invincible? A small crack in his heart is enough for you to manipulate him.
Jia Hao already learned the initial mantra from his heart. Now, he felt he got a good amount of anger and hatred from Azaki’s body. The dark energy condensed inside his body, turning into a small grain of black rice.
‘ Interesting, I wonder how I can use it?’ Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu.
” Well, Miss Jiang, If you have time, how about we talk about something?” Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu.
” About what?” Jiang Ruoyu was surprised.
” About the Southern Edge Dojo’s loan, I guess?”
Jiang Ruoyu’s expression changed instantly when she heard about that. ” Uh, Yes…”
Chen Ye looked at Jiang Ruoyu’s nervous appearance when he saw that. She wasn’t nervous even while facing Azaki. Yet, She is frowning before Jia Hao?
” Well, The match has ended and Souther Edge Dojo won by fair and square means.” Jia Hao’s voice was loud. ” Please, Everyone can return as we have something to talk about in private.”
” Not bad, Lady Jiang really mastered the Eight Trigram Palms.”
” Indeed, Although it’s sad to see that I couldn’t able to see the Three Styles Sword Art.”
” Don’t worry, there are martial arts tournaments in future. You can see there.”
Jiang Ruoyu smiled lightly when she saw the positive response among the crowd. After all, reputation is the most important thing for a dojo, and she managed to grow it among the people.
Seeing everyone leaving, Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao. ” Are you from the company? I know the deadline has been crossed but…”
” But you don’t have any money to pay, right?” Jia Hao spoke with a bright smile. ” So calculating the interest and the fine money after crossing the deadline… How much money you need to pay?”
” Two…Two million.” Jiang Ruoyu spoke in a suppressed voice.
” Wrong, It’s five million!” Jia Hao playfully corrected her.
Although Jiang Ruoyu’s original fate is supposed to be the sex slave of Azaki, Jia Hao also knows some additional information about the Southern Edge Dojo.
Due to some reasons, Jiang Ruoyu’s father borrowed money from one of his friends. However, he never thought the so called friend was a actually a black bellied loan shark.
When Jiang Ruoyu’s father was on the sick bed, the loan sharks already started to pester him. And thus, the loan amount increased by dishonest means and now it’s on Jiang Ruoyu to pay it.
Looking at Chen Ye, Jia Hao couldn’t help but chortle.
In Jiang Ruoyu’s storyline, the player assumes the body of Chen Ye. If he couldn’t manage to avert the bad ending of Jiang Ruoyu, he had to see Jiang Ruoyu getting banged by Azaki.
But if he managed to defeat Azaki on his own, the player could go on a romantic plot with Jiang Ruoyu. But of course, it was truly hair clutching process to raise five million yuan for dojo’s debt.
Only after crossing these two hurdles, Chen Ye (Who is also the player) can live a happy life with Jiang Ruoyu.
But well, Since Jia Hao is here, he decided to be a little sweet villain.
” What? Five million! You are lying to me!” Jiang Ruoyu shouted.
” Well, Unfortunately, It looks like you didn’t read the terms and conditions in the end of the contract, which was written of the size of microns.” Jia Hao smiled.
” And according to that, the moment you miss the deadline, the interest rate of debt will turn into compound interest, doubling the interest rate instantly. And just like that, You have to give five million now.”
” And you know, right? If you are unable to pay…” Jia Hao sighed. ” It would be sad to see a century old dojo closing down.”
” Yo-You! I won’t give up on my dojo!” Jiang Ruoyu snouted.
” Well, I don’t think your martial arts will help in front of the bank.” Jia Hao shrugged.
” But well, I guess I forgot to tell you something. I am not from the loan company at all.” Jia Hao smiled.
” Then?”
Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao with a gawking face. Not from the company? Then who is Jia Hao? And why does he know so much?
” I am someone who is willing to pay all of your debt off.” Jia Hao spoke. ” But, There is a small little price you need to pay.”
” Oh? Really?” Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao with a cold face. ” What is it?”
” Before saying that, How about this?” Jia Hao took a step back and looked at Jiang Ruoyu. ” I heard some rumors about you, Miss Jiang. I heard, if someone of your age manages to defeat you, they can start courting you?”
” Th-That…” Jiang Ruoyu was flustered as she looked away. ” I was just excited at that time and announced that. This doesn’t mean…”
” Well, I don’t care.” Jia Hao spoke. ” How about this? I am curious about your Eight Trigram Palms. I hope you aren’t tired after fighting with Azaki?”
” What? You want me to fight with-”
” If you win, I will give you five million.”
Jia Hao added the condition, making Jiang Ruoyu’s pupil shrink. Seeing Jia Hao’s serious face, she felt like he wasn’t joking at all.
” Very well, Since it’s two of us alone, We can fight properly.”
Jia Hao and Jiang Ruoyu distanced themselves as they looked at each other. Without delaying a second, Jiang Ruoyu’s body moved as she appeared beside Jia Hao.
” Mountain Flipping Palm!”
” Block!”
Jia Hao merely raised his arm to block Jiang Ruoyu’s attack. Jiang Ruoyu sneered, feeling the victory was within her grasp.
However, Jiang Ruoyu’s expression changed when her palm blocked by Jia Hao.
She felt like she was attacking a mountain of granite, making her attack simply futile.
No matter how much technique one has grasped, in front of absolute strength, everything with fail.
It’s like if a kid knows a powerful martial art, a grown up with real strength can still tackle him easily.
” Well, My turn.” Jia Hao grinned as he raised his arm and punched Jiang Ruoyu.
” Rippling Lake Defense!”
Jiang Ruoyu’s expression changed as she used both of her palm to block his punch. However, she felt she got pushed back a dozen meters instantly, making her palms numb.
But before she could do anything, Jia Hao already appeared near her, holding her waist and lifting her like a princess.
” This…Let me go! You rascal!” Jiang Ruoyu flushed as she tried to struggle, but Jia Hao didn’t let her go.
” Well, I win. And since I have won… How about I claim my reward?”
Jiang Ruoyu’s eyes turned wide as she saw Jia Hao lowering his head and kissing her lips.
