Chapter 512 - Adam Or Liao Wei
Entering Liao Wei's home, Adam put down all the bags of shopping that he was carrying and the ones that belonged to him disappeared into thin air as he placed them in his inventory. Liao Wei wasn't too surprised after seeing that happen, but it became clear to him what Adam's intentions were.
"Are you leaving already?" he asked, wanting to have more time to try to repay Adam.
"Yes. I want to check out that Ultimate Fighting Tournament for myself. While there is no need for me to stay here any longer, since everything has been sorted out," answered Adam, who had relaxed enough and didn't want to waste any time.
Since his aunt was most likely to still be in China and the Martial Arts Union was the biggest cultivation power in the country, it was his best bet when looking for her. He was also likely to get to meet that capable old man and refine his combat skills even further.
With all that in mind, Adam was itching to make his way to the closest regional qualifying tournament that Liao Wei had mentioned. Only by winning one of those tournaments could he make it through to the actual Ultimate Fighting Tournament, and Adam didn't doubt his own skills in the slightest.
"I'll leave this region in your care and make sure to take care of your mother. However, even forgetting about the fact that you are bound to me. Liao Wei, if you ever use the power I granted you for anything remotely sinister, I will make you wish you never met me and it is impossible to escape from me," Adam said sternly.
Liao Wei couldn't help but stumble backwards after hearing Adam's words, not even needing to experience his killing intent or aura to know how powerful and serious he was.
However quickly getting up, he bowed his head and vowed that he would never do such things and that he would use what Adam granted him only for good, while he would also be eternally indebted to him.
Smiling and giving Liao Wei a wink, he suddenly disappeared as the man's mother came over to the door.
Seeing that Liao Wei was the only one there, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you crazy? Who the hell are you talking to."
However, at first, she even struggled to recognise the man before her as her son. It wasn't the hair or clothing change that had made him unrecognisable, but his newfound confidence and presence.
Then looking over at all the shopping bags, she waltzed over to him and pulled his ear, recognising the expensive brands they were from.
"Did you steal? Or do something illegal to get these things. Or did you waste all the money you have on this?" Not even allowing him to explain himself, she continued scolding him.
Then after hearing that the young man that had saved her had also bought him all of those things and gave him a high position within a company, she fell to her knees and began singing Adam's praises.
Obviously, Liao Wei hadn't told her that he had become the boss of the biggest cultivator group in the region, as that would probably cause her to faint from shock, but he knew that it was time to change his and his mother's lives for the better.
"Tomorrow you can pick out any home you like in this region and we will buy it. And I promise to take you shopping for new clothes when I can, but I will be very busy from now on," he said to her.
From his voice and expression, it was clear that he wasn't lying, but it was still too big of a change for her to accept easily.
As she pinched her arm to check if she was breathing, she asked, "Are you still my son? And just what company are you working for that is supposedly paying you so much money?"
Her question stumped Liao Wei who hadn't prepared himself to answer all the questions he knew his mother would ask, as he answered, "Um. A new company, one that you wouldn't know its name, anyway."
She continued interrogating him, finding it hard to believe everything that her changed son was telling her was the truth, but pure elation was present on her face. Not only had she been healed, but her son had also become happy and seemed to have a new purpose in his life. While they both never had to worry about money or their safety again.
And it was all thanks to Adam, who felt good after being helping Liao Wei, who would inturn then help many others.
However getting stronger and finding his aunt was all Adam could think about and he had already spent too much time relaxing, when he could have been watching fights in the qualifying tournament taking place closest to him.
Making his way there, dominating the regional tournament should be easy enough for him and it was the national tournament that he was interested in. The only requirements to take part was that one must be at least an Advanced Cultivator and that one must be under the age of 25.
Adam easily met both those requirements, so all that was left was to sign up, and he decided to do so under a different name. A western name like Adam would stand out, so he opted to use the name Liao Wei, while he also altered his appearance slightly to match Liao Wei's.
He left his physique unchanged, but the tone of his skin as well as his facial features were altered through the Body Transformation Skill that he had mastered. Using it, changing his body in any way had become possible.
Using Liao Wei's name and appearance, after reaching the branch of the Martial Arts Union that was closest to him, he signed up for the regional tournament.. And after waiting for an hour, he finally heard his name being called to be tested for the requirements before he could even start fighting.
