After all, as I grew up, I was influenced by what I saw and heard. I also understood how difficult it was for an ordinary martial artist to step into the Transforming Strength realm. It wasn't an exaggeration to call it a dream.
Especially in Nan Yun, where martial arts culture was relatively backward. More than 20 participants from different cities had participated in the elite preliminaries. They were regarded as the best group of geniuses in Nan Yun. Among them, there were many good seedlings who had practiced martial arts since childhood, and there was no shortage of gifted geniuses.
When they learned that the prize for the champion was an inner core, they showed their eagerness and enthusiasm. They didn't even try to hide it. I was no exception at that time. After all, there were only a few Transforming Strength Masters in Nan Yun. From this point, it was enough to show the power of Transforming Strength.
In fact, I was the same as them. I was also a dreamer on the road of martial arts. I was eager to make breakthroughs and become stronger. As long as I could reach the level of Transforming Strength Master, I would be the overlord of Nan Yun.
I had to admit that their foundation was better than mine. However, when I faced each of my opponents, I never relaxed or underestimated them. As long as I had time, I wouldn't slack off. Instead, I would seize every second to improve and consolidate my strength.
It turned out that my efforts had paid off. In a short period of time, I secretly caught up with them. Even without the help of Blood Demon, I still sat on the throne of the provincial list and became the most promising young outstanding martial artist to reach the Transforming Strength realm.
If I guessed correctly, after I defeated Zhong Yuchen, someone must have known about it. That's why I was directly placed on the provincial list.
However, I felt that the person who made this list had made some mistakes. At that time, I had already lost my Qi and strength. In fact, I didn't have the qualifications to be on the list. Of course, it could also be that the person who made the list didn't discriminate against internal strength martial artists. This point was worth affirming.
Now, there was a gap between me and them. In fact, I was far behind them!
This inexplicable opportunity should be related to my state of mind and my Pure Yang bloodline. One must know that even during the golden age of martial arts, the Pure Yang bloodline was a rare freak that was hard to find, let alone now.
"Brat, why are you laughing?" My unusual behavior aroused Guan Ruolan's suspicion. In her eyes, it was a bit inexplicable.
"Why don't you guess?" I said mysteriously.
"How would I know? Just tell me," Guan Ruolan said angrily and rolled her eyes at me.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you." Looking at Guan Ruolan's arrogant face, I couldn't help but want to tease her.
"No."
Guan Ruolan shook her head. There was a reason why she didn't want to. Now that we were sitting in a taxi, as a reserved girl, she could accept it if we held hands, but it was a challenge to show our affection in front of others.
"Then let's not talk about it." I shrugged.
"Hmph, forget it if you don't want to tell me."
Guan Ruolan turned her head to the side and pouted. It seemed that she was angry. This gave me a fright.
Without waiting for Guan Ruolan to react, I moved my head closer and kissed her cheek lightly. Although it was only an instant, the softness and exquisiteness of her skin made my heart skip a beat. It wasn't that I didn't want to say that her skin was really good.
"Aiya."
Guan Ruolan was quite sensitive. Although it was only an instant, it made her blush. When she got over that hurdle in her heart, the painful memories from before gradually became a thing of the past.
The two of us were just like when we first met. Everything was so beautiful. At this time, Guan Ruolan's small face was flushed after being kissed. Under the illumination of the neon lights, she looked especially tender and beautiful.
"Driver, please drive carefully. What if there's an accident!?" The driver in the front stared at the mirror, and almost turned his head to admire.
"Cough, cough," the driver smiled embarrassedly.
Not long later, I arrived at the entrance of Guan Ruolan's district. Originally she didn't want me to get off the car to send her, but under my insistence, Guan Ruolan couldn't change my mind.
The faint moonlight shone on her body. She was as beautiful as a little fairy.
"Well, you should go back earlier," Guan Ruolan said in a low voice.
"What's the rush, it's still early. I just want to see you more, can't I?" I shook my head.
"But I'm already home," Guan Ruolan pouted her small mouth.
"It doesn't matter. In the car just now, I took the initiative to kiss you. Shouldn't you do something too?" I said shamelessly.
What I couldn't deny was that Guan Ruolan's heart was tied to me. However, if I wanted to resolve the knot in her heart and have bold physical contact, I would have to put in more effort.
"I don't want to," Guan Ruolan's tone revealed a hint of coquettishness, giving me goosebumps.
"Aiya, but I want to be kissed by you. It's such a small wish. Can't you help me fulfill it?"
At this point, I didn't want to admit defeat. As the saying goes, it's only a once in a lifetime opportunity. I should strike the iron while it's hot. If Guan Ruolan was particularly against it, of course I wouldn't force her. However, she looked like she wanted to refuse but was also shy.
Although Guan Ruolan didn't hesitate to protect me during the dojo challenge, there was still an invisible barrier between us. However, after a day of play, the distance between us became a lot closer. On the Great Wall, Guan Ruolan couldn't walk anymore. I shamelessly carried her on my back. I could clearly feel Guan Ruolan's faint heartbeat.
In addition to eating, she didn't have the airs of a little fairy. In the eyes of outsiders, she was my girlfriend. When it comes to picking up girls, you need to have both patience and effort. The difficulty of conquering every girl is different. However, I still believe that as long as you put in the effort, you can grind an iron rod into a needle.
Facing my request, Guan Ruolan was a bit hesitant. It was clear that her heart was wavering. At this time, I had to beat around the bush.
"Xiao Lan Lan, the reason why I'm so shameless is because I really care about you. I do feel guilty, but I can tell you clearly that I've liked you for a long time. From the first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. It's just that at that time, I was as lowly as a speck of dust. I really wasn't eye-catching. I didn't have the courage to say that I liked you." I took a deep breath and said seriously. After pausing for a moment, I continued to add.
