Only My Way

After asking some sensitive questions about his background, Li Yunchen turned to more conventional inquiries:

“Those who venture into the Jianghu usually have their own goals and reasons.”

“So, regarding your future and path, young hero, do you have any arrangements or plans?”

“For example, what kind of achievements do you intend to make?”

Without hesitation, Ling Wuyuan spoke frankly, “To be honest, I haven’t thought much about it.”

“The long road ahead is filled with too much uncertainty. At most, I only have a vague goal.”

Li Yunchen nodded and curiously continued, “A vague goal?”

“What is that goal?”

Ling Wuyuan stated calmly:

“To become the strongest.”

“That’s roughly the goal.”

He propped his chin with one hand and said with great interest and certainty:

“Although I am filled with much uncertainty about the future, and I don’t know what I will do or what I can achieve, I can affirm that I want to become the strongest.”

To this,

Li Yunchen was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile:

“Oh~”

“Become the strongest?”

“That’s a very spirited idea, very much in line with the behavior and thinking of young people.”

“I’m a little envious.”

“I actually harbored similar dreams in the past, until my…”

Just as he said,

The goal of becoming the strongest.

Is basically one of the most common ideals.

Frankly, it’s not worth marveling at.

Even among the many young talents Li Yunchen had interviewed, some had said similar things.

However,

For some reason, Li Yunchen sensed a sense of seriousness in Ling Wuyuan.

Although he spoke lightly, his attitude was very serious.

‘Is he genuinely planning to work hard for it?’

He wondered silently, a little puzzled.

But to be honest, even if he noticed that Ling Wuyuan was serious about it, he still didn’t care much about it.

This goal is too common, so common that everyone is used to it… not at all remarkable.

The masses, after hearing it, wouldn’t have any particular thoughts.

【You say you want to rule the world?】

【Hehe he… okay, okay, you made me laugh.】

That’s pretty much how it is.

Moreover,

What Li Yunchen had just said was also from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, when he was still young, he also wanted to become the strongest, to become the undisputed strongest in the entire 【White Mist Kingdom】, but reality quickly slapped him in the face from both sides, shattering his ideals on the spot, smashing them to pieces…

Just as he was still reminiscing about his past.

Ling Wuyuan continued to say what he wanted to say in an orderly manner, completely unaffected by Li Yunchen.

His tone was calm but firm.

“As living beings, living beings with independent intelligence and complete cognition, everyone naturally has many, many ideals since birth. This is an undeniable thing, but 【I want to become the strongest】—from ancient times to the present, it has always been the ideal with the largest number of possessors. After all, to put it bluntly, who in this life doesn’t want to have power over the world and stand above all living beings with their own strength?”

“Wanting to stand at the top of the food chain is the most basic instinct of us as living beings!”

“This is an irrefutable fact!”

“It will not change due to the country, the nation, the gender, or the race…”

“So from the bottom of my heart, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with everyone wanting to become the strongest.”

“However, there are countless people in the world who have this ideal, regardless of gender or whether they are human. They are truly more numerous than the carps crossing the river… It’s really not easy to achieve it.”

“Often, in an entire era, no one may be able to successfully do that.”

“Many times, even if everyone can be called a strong person, they cannot become the recognized and undisputed strongest, and the gap between 【strong person】 and 【strongest person】 exists with infinite difference.”

“Even, just wanting to become a 【strong person】, for 99.999%… of the people in the world, is already a matter of great difficulty, almost impossible to overcome. They either succumb to the threshold of cultivation, or succumb to the complaints of their parents, or succumb to the difficulties of life, or succumb to the iron fists and blades of others, or succumb to the innate obstacles of their bodies and talents… ultimately causing their dreams to be shattered on the spot.”

“Therefore, looking around, being able to become a 【strong person】 is already one in ten thousand, one in a hundred thousand, one in a hundred million… like ascending to heaven.”

“However, even so… I still think I will succeed.”

“No need for extra reasons, I simply think that no one but me is fit for this.”

“Unlike those mediocre people and those who can only wander and struggle on the road.”

“I am good enough.”

“I am qualified to complete this matter.”

“I can defeat all obstacles and stand at the highest point.”

“I can successfully break through the many difficulties and reach that goal.”

While speaking, Ling Wuyuan’s tone was as calm and frank as ever, without much fluctuation or ups and downs, but the domineering and self-assuredness in his words could not be suppressed, and there was not even any arrogance, only a feeling that he was stating a fact.

Even the well-informed Li Yunchen’s heart skipped a beat.

Such a degree of domineering and confidence.

Even he had never felt it!

That kind of tone that 【Although there are countless strong people among the heroes of the world, they are nothing more than that!】, made the pen in his hand, which was originally constantly writing, suddenly stop.

Too arrogant!

Too domineering!

He could be sure… incomparably sure!!

That after he wrote Ling Wuyuan’s words into an article and published it, it would definitely cause a huge uproar!!

At that time.

There would definitely be countless people who would sneer at Ling Wuyuan’s words or be full of hostility towards him.

The reason is none other than that Ling Wuyuan directly expressed a meaning—【Unlike your powerlessness, I can definitely do better!!】

And for various cultivators, the so-called animosity and hostility, once it becomes face-to-face, will often directly evolve into real bloodshed…

Li Yunchen couldn’t imagine what kind of scene Ling Wuyuan would face at that time…

Enemies everywhere as far as the eye could see?

For a moment, Li Yunchen couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

After thinking about it.

He chose to remind him in a more euphemistic way:

“Although it’s a good thing for young people to have ambition, I think it’s better for young people not to be too arrogant…”

But Ling Wuyuan waved his hand indifferently:

“Is it called being young if you’re not arrogant?”

After asking the rhetorical question, without waiting for Li Yunchen to answer, he crossed his legs and added:

“I naturally know that these words of mine will cause a lot of people’s dissatisfaction and hostility, but that kind of thing doesn’t matter at all, completely doesn’t matter.”

“If they are really unhappy, then come and kill me!”
