Chapter 6, The Storm over Lushan

How can a sparrow understand the ambitions of a swan? Jia Zhengdao dismisses this notion

"Oh? You guessed it right again, very good. The other elder is His Holiness the current Pope. How did you know?" Jimmy exclaimed in surprise

It seems a fight has broken out, my excited bones are cracking and popping, did you hear that?" Galon said, moving his body as he walked, appearing very exhilarated

What remarkable deeds could that old man possibly have? With that withered body, if I were to strike him with a punch..." Galon said disdainfully

Is he really a Saint Seiya? Or is it from over 200 years ago? Galon displayed an expression of disbelief

Jia Zhengdao and Saga exchanged a glance, both heightening their vigilance. The one who arrives first exerts pressure on the newcomer, which is a customary practice in the Sanctuary, said to enhance camaraderie in battle. When Saga and Little Ai first arrived at the Sanctuary, they also experienced this treatment.

What a discerning eye! However, Teacher Tong Hu is not just any Saint Seiya; he is a retired Saint Seiya. It is said that he participated in the Holy War over 200 years ago and is one of the last two surviving elders. Everyone in the Sanctuary holds him in great respect, " Jimmy said with a rare expression of admiration, speaking softly.

After descending the peak, Jimmy departed alone, his mission having been accomplished, returning to the Holy Domain to report to the Pope

What does it mean? "Jialongleng Dao."

Sajia forced a bitter smile, while Xiao Ai simply turned her face away, too lazy to look at him

Before Saga could respond, Galon interjected, saying, "I will make them welcome me with my fists." His madness was fully revealed.

For over 200 years, most of the generations of Saints have been guided by His Holiness the Pope and Master Donghu. Therefore, being able to receive Master Donghu's teachings means that you have already stepped one foot into the threshold of becoming a Saint. Thus, Saga, Galan, Aiolos, and Aioros, you must cherish this opportunity and strive to become true Saints. Jimmy encouraged with an envious expression

Jia Zhengdao chuckled and said, "I don't know anything else."

The Child Tiger indeed resembles exactly as depicted in the comics, sitting like a statue before the Lushan Waterfall, immovable and majestic. The green mountains, clear waters, ancient trees, and the old man harmoniously blend together, creating a stunning scene. This is Jia Zhengdao's first impression of Wulao Peak and the Child Tiger.

"Still not a bronze? This is all you have achieved." Jia Zhengdao remarked sarcastically

Cut! This time, the three of them, including Jia Zhengdao, rarely shared the same sentiment and collectively expressed their disdain

"Who is it?" Galon, Saga, and Xiao Ai all became interested.

Haha, little curly-haired one, is this your reasoning https://mhetushucomcom? Truly a frog in a well!" Galon mocked

Although their stomachs were growling with hunger, in order to satisfy the curiosity of Aiolia and Galon, the three of them unconsciously slowed their pace. The mountains and rivers of China were all so novel, opening their eyes to a whole new world.

Why does this old man have no expression at all? Is it because he has too many wrinkles for it to show? After descending the small peak, Galon couldn't sit still again

In the late 1980s, China was exceptionally hospitable, especially towards foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes, often to the point of being obsequious. Thus, Jia Zhengdao and his four companions traveled unimpeded to Lushan. Upon arriving at Lushan, Jimmy finally resumed his role as a guide, leading the four youths up Wulao Peak like seasoned travelers.

What else do you know?" Galon asked curiously, looking at Jia Zhengdao.

Saga shook his head, Xiao Ai shook her head, and Jimmy suddenly realized, "The ideal of Ai E Lu Si is to become the Bronze Saint of the constellation Cygnus, but is this constellation among the 88 constellations?"

Jia Zhengdao smiled faintly and did not respond. He thought to himself, in my previous life, children as young as 8 or 9 years old already knew this, so what is there to be surprised about

As they spoke, Jimmy had already led four individuals to stand opposite Tong Hu. With his right hand on his chest, Jimmy bowed to Tong Hu, saying, "Teacher, these are Saga, Aiolos, Aioros, and Galon. The four of them have undergone systematic training in the Sanctuary and are the last batch of trainees for this special training session"

Jia Zhengdao smiled at Saga and said, "It seems that we are not very popular."

"The two great elders? Who is the other one?" Saga's questions are far more profound than those of his brother

"It can't be His Holiness the Pope, can it?" Jia Zhengdao said inadvertently

As the distance closed in, one by one, faces both unfamiliar and familiar appeared before Jia Zhengdao: the calm Amu, the honest Aludiba, the flamboyant Dismask, the dazed Shaga, the mischievous Miro, the fierce Shura, the cool Kamyu, and the porcelain doll-like Abrodi. Along with Saga, Galon, and Aiolia on this side, aside from the remaining "background characters," this was hardly a display of intimidation; it was simply a children's version of the grand gathering of the Gold Saints.

Finally, it is Saga's turn. However, due to Saga's somewhat shy personality, he inevitably stutters a bit, "If I really have to say? Well, my ideal is to fight for love and justice for a lifetime, so that everyone can live a happy life"

Jia Zhengdao is at a loss for words; it is truly like trying to speak of ice to summer insects or the sea to a frog in a well. These three fellows are simply stuck in their bronze armor, unable to escape.

... ...

Hehe, it's alright. That kid Galon just doesn't know about Teacher Tonghu's glorious deeds, which is why he is talking nonsense. To be honest, I was a bit stiff in the face just now. Jimmy said with a laugh, it's quite difficult to get an American to keep a straight face while working

I thought you were just talking nonsense!" Xiao Ai remarked, "However, I also enjoy fighting." Aiolia is also an impulsive character; otherwise, he wouldn't have foolishly gone to challenge the Pope directly in the comic.

Before I knew it, Wulao Peak was already in sight

Of course, there are also elements of disharmony. A group of over a dozen boys, around eight or nine years old, either standing or sitting on several scattered large stones, cast unfriendly glances from a distance at Jia Zhengdao and the other three.

My greatest aspiration is to become a glorious Bronze Saint, and I will certainly strive for it. Xiao Ai once again expressed his utmost ideal.

Wulao Peak is located on the southeastern side of Lushan, and it is a renowned high peak of Lushan, with an elevation of over 1,400 meters. Due to the influence of vertical joints in the rock layers, it has formed five majestic peaks that are both separated and interconnected. From a distance, these five peaks resemble five elderly men sitting together, hence the name Wulao Peak. Among the five peaks, the third peak is the most perilous, featuring bizarre rocks and unique formations that create a magnificent spectacle. Additionally, the Lushan Grand Waterfall is situated on the mountainside, earning it the title of the foremost among the five peaks.

On the way, Jimmy taught Jia Zhengdao and the others the etiquette of the Four Saints Domain, so the four of them imitated Jimmy's gestures, placing their hands on their chests and performing a gesture of respect for books, collectively saying: "Teacher Tong Hu!" There is an unwritten rule in the Four Saints Domain that whenever one receives guidance from another, they must regard the other as a teacher. The reason is simple: in the Four Saints Domain, ability is the foundation of survival.

Tong Hu still wore that expression of calmness, but when his gaze fell upon Saga and Ai Luosi, he uttered a few words, "Very well, take them down."

Jia Zhengdao and the three others strolled towards the gathering place of the group of youths, who also noticed the four of them. Provocative glances from both sides clashed in the air.

"With one punch, you will die," Jimmy interjected, "Do you know who Teacher Tong Hu used to be?"

"Shut up!" Saka glared fiercely, and Galon obediently closed his mouth

"Thick eyebrows and big eyes, what are your ideals? Are they even more ambitious than mine?" Galon said indignantly

"Wrong! My ideal is to become the most powerful Bronze Saint, at least stronger than you!" Galon said confidently

"It can't be the Saint Seiya, can it?" Jia Zhengdao pretended to guess, but in fact, he already knew that Tong Hu was the greatest pretender in this world, almost deified in the comics

"What are you laughing at? Little Blue Hair, isn't your dream to become a glorious Bronze Saint?" Little Ai retorted angrily

As they drew closer, the scattered youths also stood up, gathering together, ready to properly 'welcome' the newcomers
