Chapter 118: Thunder Liu Chai

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Under the Evil Eye Stare’s influence, Liu Chai’s mind was flooded with memories that had made him feel sorrowful, angry, and desperate. These memories were repeatedly played in his mind like a slideshow.

What everyone, including the members of the Demolition Guild, did not know was that their leader Liu Chai was in reality the most famous wrestling genius of the Dragon Nation. He was none other than the uncrowned King of Thunder who had conquered the wrestling world in his heyday.

However, nobody knew what Thunder had suffered throughout his path of growth under the spotlight.

Liu Chai’s parents had abandoned him when he was a kid. At that time, Liu Chai who had been neglected became very rebellious. He mixed with kids of his age on the streets and was often involved in fighting and stealing.

Undoubtedly, he had a dark childhood. He was often detained under the juvenile reformatory center and was seen as the scum of society.

At that time, Liu Chai thought that this was how his remaining life would be, achieving nothing and leading a meaningless life.

But one day, he met an old man who changed his destiny.

He just got out from the juvenile reformatory center that day and it was raining. As he was starving, he went to a supermarket to steal some food, but he was caught as he accidentally hit the shelf and made a sound.

He faced the old man who came to check what happened with a fierce expression. Then, he turned around and shoved his fist at the old man.

This punch hit the old man and pushed the old man a few steps back with his hands on his chest.

To Liu Chai’s surprise, the old man did not call the cops. Instead, he gestured for Liu Chai to calm down and handed him the food on the shelves.

That was when Liu Chai first met him. After learning about Liu Chai’s experience, the old man said something that was unforgettable to Liu Chai.

“I will adopt you!”

The old man’s appearance was like a beam of light in the dark, shining upon Liu Chai who was curled up in the dark.

Since then, the old man had treated Liu Chai like his son. Liu Chai, who was originally taciturn, became cheerful after getting in touch with the old man.

However, Liu Chai’s growing environment had made him into a person with low self-esteem. Although he started attending school, he still could not blend in.

Being mocked and beating up those who made fun of him was the most common thing Liu Chai did in school.

In the end, under the joint appeals of numerous parents, he was made to drop out of school. Even though the old man had repeatedly begged them, the result was still the same.

Liu Chai could still remember the trembling look on the old man’s face when going in and out of the headmaster’s office.

When they got home that day, he thought that the old man would get very angry. But, the old man patted his shoulder gently and said, “Don’t look down on yourself, you have strengths that others do not have!”

The young Liu Chai raised his head and looked at the old man curiously. Even he himself was in the opinion that he was useless apart from being ferocious and aggressive.

“Be a wrestler. I’ll teach you!” the old man smiled.

Later, Liu Chai learned that the old man was a wrestler when he was young. He then retired due to his injuries and illnesses. His biggest regret was that he could no longer appear in the wrestling ring.

In the following days, Liu Chai practiced during the day and had heart-to-heart conversations with the old man at night to learn the way of life.

Liu Chai had particularly great strength since he was young and could beat several of his peers by himself. His tough growing environment had created his resolute character. In facing the arduous training, he possessed maturity that was beyond his age.

At that time, Liu Chai’s talent began to unfold. In the eyes of the old man, he was a natural wrestling genius.

At the age of 15, Liu Chai who had gone through three years of hard training registered for the amateur wrestling competition under the old man’s support.

His tempest-like ferocious wrestling skills made him stand out in the amateur group and became a young genius in the eyes of the others. He then became the center of attention.

This marked the start of his glorious path. In the next three years, Liu Chai had won The Wrestling Guru Amateur Competition three times in a row. He was known as Thunder because of his ferocious wrestling skills, implying that he could defeat his opponent swiftly like a thunderbolt.

As he became more famous, Liu Chai gradually became rich. He was then attracted by the voluptuous world and eventually became depraved.

Without the old man by his side to guide him, Liu Chai got lost in this dazzling human world with its myriad temptations.

Finally, under everyone’s expectation, this amateur genius stepped onto the professional wrestling arena.

At that time, Liu Chai had not trained for five months. His body condition had severely deteriorated. However, he was so confident that he even partied the night before the competition.

However, reality slapped him hard on the face. He was defeated in the first round of the competition; it was a fiasco.

In the second round, Liu Chai went on stage with great psychological pressure. Just as what the outside world predicted, he was defeated again.

The third round: Lost.

The fourth round: Lost.

Liu Chai was terminated without even playing the fifth round and that was the end of his career.

The public was seething with indignation and many negative news stories about him appeared in the media. Liu Chai was tormented and was about to collapse under the big blow.

He could clearly remember the derision he faced.

“Haha… Thunder, the future King of Wrestling!? You must be kidding me!”

“An amateur wrestling genius who lost four rounds in a row. Hahaha.”

“Could it be that the previous matches he participated in were all made up?”

……

However, the bad news did not stop here. A few days later, Liu Chai received news that the old man was sick and was being rescued in the emergency room.

At that time, Liu Chai rushed home like a madman. However, when he saw the grey-haired old man, he had already passed away.

Till the end, he didn’t even get to see his father for the last time.

He cried for the first time in his entire life. Liu Chai suddenly felt that there was nothing left for him to linger on.

However at that moment, a doctor stuffed a note in his hand and told him that this was the old man’s last words.

Liu Chai opened the note with grief.

“Do you remember what I said? You have talents that others don’t. It’s not horrifying to lose. The most terrible thing is that you don’t have the determination to strike back and win. Do you still remember what you’ve promised me?”

That sentence had awakened Liu Chai who was in distress. He remembered the old man telling him that he wanted to see him win the national wrestling tournament.

Since then, the king returned.

He constantly increased the intensity of his training, pushing himself to the limits to unleash his strength. The only thing that he had to do every day was to throw a punch at the sandbag again and again.

Both his hands would bleed and formed calluses. The cycle then repeated. Liu Chai was trying to numb the pain in his heart by having the high-intensity training. At that time, the only goal in his heart was to fulfill his final promise to his father.

After the old man was buried, Liu Chai kowtowed in front of the old man’s tombstone and said, “I will not lose again!”

This was his last promise to his father who was also his life mentor.

One year later, Liu Chai who once again cleared the amateur group stood on the professional group’s ring again.

Liu Chai was no longer boastful. Instead, he was firm and persistent.

This time, Liu Chai had proven to the world that he was the true wrestling genius, the future king of the wrestling world.

He overcame all the difficulties that went his way and countless long-established veterans were defeated by him. Since then, he became the defending champion who had defended his position for eight years. He truly deserved to be the uncrowned king. Thus, his name Thunder was known throughout the country and the world.

However, the old man could no longer witness this. This was also Liu Chai’s regret for his entire life.

……

Liu Chai had now retired and thus his overwhelming and indomitable spirit in the past had long weakened. But at this moment, his memories resurfaced under the stimulation of the Evil Eye Stare and the most ferocious beast in the wrestling world awakened.

“I promised him that I will not lose again!”

Liu Chai who was lying on the ground abruptly opened his eyes and turned his body sideways to dodge Gu Yu’s punch.

……

In the Artifact Channel, a valiant spirit in the Spirit Summoning Palace was trembling and growling.

Both Lu Wu and Bei Li were in shock.

They never thought that Liu Chai would resonate with the valiant spirit.

However, what went beyond their expectation was that the growling valiant spirit suddenly stopped trembling when it was about to escape.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Wu was filled with doubt.

“It thinks that its inheritance isn’t worthy for him. His will and the heart of the strong have surpassed the valiant spirit itself!” Bei Li spoke solemnly.
