Faced with all the enthusiastic chiefs and dazzling offers, Fade was exceptionally calm.
It was because in his heart, he wasn't prepared to join any Martial Hall at all.
Thinking of this, he spoke up, "I'm very thankful for all the support you guys have shown me. However, I have a few questions before I make my decision. I hope you all will be able to answer them for me."
"Say it!"
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"
At this moment, all the chiefs seemed to be particularly friendly.
Fade nodded and said softly, "If I join a Martial Hall, does that mean that I will live on the inner island from now on? Will I be able to leave?"
Upon hearing this question, the chiefs' faces changed slightly.
Thurl spoke first, "According to the rules, once you join a Martial Hall, you will be a resident of Prohibition Island. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you are not allowed to leave the island."
"Of course, when you have tasks or special circumstances, you can still go out."
Several other chiefs joined in.
"If you join Fiery Flame Hall, we will allow you to go out for a month every year. There will be no restrictions."
"We will offer you two months!"
"Two and a half months; that is the most we can offer. It can't be any longer."
Hearing this, Fade frowned slightly. Two and a half months was too short for him.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm not suitable to be on the inner island."
"I'm more used to living with my friends and
relatives."
After hearing his words, most of the chiefs frowned.
"Fade, you are highly gifted in martial arts. You'll only have real value if you keep improving yourself."
"Your so-called friends and relatives in the secular world can only live for a hundred years at most. Once you reach the Lord Level, even several hundreds of years of life is not a problem. When that time comes, you will find that the people you value now are insignificant."
"Young man, don't be restricted by love and relationships. The endless path of martial arts is your future."
Even Camelia came to Fade's side at this moment and persuaded him in a low voice, "You are a man. Are you really this shortsighted and unambitious?"
He shook his head and said, "I value martial arts greatly, but I care more about my life." "If martial arts is all I have, and I don't have my friends and family there with me, what's the point? My life will lose all the little moments that I treasure. Martial arts will become meaningless to me."
"I pursued martial arts because I wanted to attain a better life. I don't want to give up my life for it."
His words upset many of the chiefs. Many even shook their heads and sighed, directly expressing their disappointment towards him.
"In the end, he's nothing more than a mere mortal. It's such a waste of such talents."
"When you reach the peak of martial arts, you will understand what living is really about. All these other petty things are meaningless."
"He is too short-sighted. Holy Martial Hall has decided to give up on him."
"If you don't have a firm heart for martial arts, no matter how talented you are, it's only a waste."
