The Urban Dao Child

Chapter 407 - Convincing.



Yang Dao did not take the initiative to attack and neither did the earth Lord, Jeager. The old man stood calmly with his palms spread in front of his body, his legs spread apart. It looked like the stance of the sumo wrestlers.

The Dao child on the other hand stood in a standard boxing stance. His gaze was locked with Jeager but it revealed no emotions or his intention by waiting for so long. It has been ten minutes since the duel had begun but they had not moved at all. It was as if they had been frozen in time.

Suddenly the eyes of the old man flickered. He had decided to attack first. There were two reasons behind this. One, he was old and his body could not bear the pressure of the stance for prolonged durations. Two, his state of mind has long been disturbed by Yang Dao. Whether it was his words or his deeds. The way Yang Dao dealt with things, his unique perspective has already disturbed the calm inside his mind.

Jeager raised his right foot high intending to slam it on the ground. However, how can Yang Dao let him do as he wished? The boy took half a step forward and the ground beneath Jeager’s raised feet raised to meet his foot in the void.

The old man was surprised by the quick response, he crossed gazes with Yang Dao and found the young man looking at him with complete calm in his eyes. The old man did not expect this boy to be able to maintain such a tranquil expression.

He slapped his hand forward and the raised column beneath his foot broke away from the ground and flew straight to Yang Dao. This was his original intent. The slam of his foot would give rise to a column and then he could slap it forward to Yang Dao. In his eyes, the opponent had just helped him.

The dao child did not budge when he saw the incoming column of hard ground. The whole thing was at least four feet tall and the weight did not look light going by the dimension. Yang Dao kicked his leg forward, and the column flew sideways.

The old man that he was supposed to see after dispelling the column had vanished. Suddenly, he shifted his weight and took a big stride forward. The speed was so fast that it cast a vague delay in the people’s response senses.

The ground where Yang Dao stood a moment ago suddenly burst up from the inside. Out came Jeager.

The boy would not let this attempt unanswered and jumped up to gift the guy with a roundhouse kick on his back. The impact was solid and it made the old man fly to a distance of ten meters before his feet found the ground to stumble. Yang Dao did not rest, but chased after the opponent.

He slammed his feet to the ground and Jeager was surrounded by sharp spikes. One of the spikes was so long that it was almost piercing through his eyes. If he moved, even slightly forward, it would have made his brains turn to mush.

Yang Dao asked, “Do you wish to continue, Sir?” his voice and attitude became calm. Jeager experienced almost all human emotions in this bit of a fight.

He experienced, irritation when Yang Dao did not attack him, helplessness that he was getting old, rage when his slam was interrupted, surprise when Yang Dao dodged his fist, rage when he was kicked on the back and finally the fear of death that came with the protruded spikes. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

He had not been calm at all. When he was asked if he wanted to continue, that made him embarrassed to look at the young man in front of him. Never has he felt such emotions inside him. Yet he was aware of what they all were called.

He shook his head and said, “No, I am convinced of my loss. Fighting further will just add to my humiliation. I am not that eager to be humiliated yet.” a faint smile surfaced on his face.

Yang Dao nodded and the two people walked back to the chairs. Yang Dao did not sit down but asked the lady from the water region, “What may I address you as?”

His attitude was completely opposite of the fire lord when he met the water clan in the past. It was unknown why they treated each other with hatred but it was almost as if they would start killing each other at any moment possible.

The lady said, “My name is Juno. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Lord Yang.”

Yang Dao chuckled and said, “Please feel free to call me Dao. No need for honorifics, Lady Juno. What was it that you wanted to discuss with me?”

Juno asked, “Why do you think that our current emotions are the cage of glass that stops us from moving forward in life?”

Yang Dao nodded to her. She was indeed a wise woman, jumping to the root of it all. He said in a calm manner, “You do not think so?”

The lady shook her head, she had her own ideas. So, Yang Dao said, “Your water region is so calm about everything that there is a constant state of tension. In the battle ten years ago, your people retreated first. It was not because that they were afraid of dying, but because they were cautious of the powers they had.

The emotions you all have are just a part of the entire human emotions cycle. Do you know what happens when you do not feel it? It makes you apathetic. Apathy leads to the destruction of things. Your youth cannot bend the elements, why do you think, anyone should let you exist in this world?

This world will stop existing if one day there are no elementals. Do you wish for your future generations to never exist because of your foolishness? The actions you take today are what define your future.”

His tone was calm but it was loud enough to make the three people have their eyes wide open. They had never looked at things this way. Yang Dao convinced them of their follies, but that did not mean they were ready to embark on the new roads lying in front of them. They will only follow when they know where the road leads to.

Yang Dao smiled at this, deciding that he will show them what lies ahead of them. He was convinced of his methods as well.
