Chapter 101: Distributing the Coins
A while ago when Zhao Luo was fighting the beast Monwolf alone the disciples were spectating from a short distance.
They stayed at their place not willing to get closer to the beast while Zhao Luo was dealing with it.
Then they saw a huge black fiery tornado rising from where Zhao Luo was as he closed in on the giant Monwolf.
They all started moving towards Zhao Luo as this was the most important characteristic of his technique Burst Judgement.
Brother.
Many screamed while watching Zhao Luo slice through the beast with his swords that looked sharper than the claws of the beast and faster than light itself.
The beast was brought down by Zhao Luo’s flashy technique which had attracted all the disciples around him.
Wei Bin and Mo Lee who were quite enchanted by Zhao Luo’s technique ran up to him.
Brother Zhao Luo you have to teach us this technique.
They begged Zhao Luo while inspecting his mesmerizing words.
Zhao Luo who was standing next to the chopped head of the beast smiled while listening to their pleas.
I will teach you this technique once we return.
Zhao Luo promised them as he placed his hands on their shoulder.
Wei Bin and Mo Lee faced each other with a delightful look in their eyes.
Zhao Luo slipped past them his two future students and walked towards the female dwarf who was looking at him with a stunned expression etched on her pretty face.
Handsome and Strong.
The dwarf said as Zhao Luo came to sand in front of her.
‘I saved her and..’
Zhao Luo looked at the disciples who were all well and calm.
‘…didn’t have to sacrifice any of them. This takes care of the second challenge.’
Zhao Luo thought in his mind as he waited for the announcement.
The beast which was supposed to be a challenging task for these disciples turned out to be a kindergarten task for Zhao Luo.
Thank you for defeating that beast. Thank you so much for avenging my dwarf tribe. Thank you for saving me.
The female dwarf grabbed Zhao Luo’s hands and started thanking him repeatedly till he stopped her.
It’s okay. I would have to fight it anyway.
Zhao Luo told her with a glow on his face.
He didn’t look tired at all after defeating a beast that was four times his size.
The female dwarf looked like she was over the moon while holding her prince charming’s hand.
She took out a leather pouch from under her clothes and placed it on Zhao Luo’s hands.
I will go now. I will hope for your good luck and that you can reach the end of this road.
She whispered to Zhao Luo while bidding her farewell.
After which she passed Zhao Luo and started walking on the dragon road towards the opposite direction that is where Zhao Luo and the others had started their journey from.
‘She is going towards the start of the dragon road.’
Zhao Luo remembered the dragon’s mouth when he had stepped on the dragon road.
Has it already been 15 hours since we started walking?
Zhao Luo questioned as he couldn’t keep the track of time. He looked at his legs which couldn’t feel any better as he didn’t even a shred of fatigue present in his legs.
Zhao Luo’s eyes moved back on the pouch as Wu Yang Mite Feng Mei Yan Su Shi Wei Bin and Mo Lee gathered around him while a hundred disciples had also moved back in their positions.
Zhao Luo turned around to look at two rows of the disciples.
Then he went towards the top of the leather pouch left behind by the female dwarf who had gone her way leaving them here on the dragon road.
‘What if it’s a single coin? Who should I give it to? Or should I just take it myself?’
Zhao Luo wondered as he pulled open the thread on top of the leather pouch.
Zhao Luo looked inside the pouch just to find out an endless space inside it.
Shine!
There was an enormous shine where he was looking at.
A pile of gold coins.
Zhao Luo said as he turned around the pouch and shook it which caused the gold coins to flow out of it.
Ting Ting Ting….
They fell one after another.
After shaking the pouch a few times the pouch was finally empty.
Wu Yang had picked up a total of 107 gold coins.
The number of gold coins was just one less than that of all the disciples in the foggy zone.
Distribute these gold coins.
Zhao Luo told Wu Yang after taking out 7 of the gold coins which had come out of the pouch.
Everyone will get a single gold coin.
Zhao Luo announced as Wu Yang started giving out a gold coin to each disciple.
The 2 of the remaining 7 gold coins were given to Feng Mei and Wei Bin first as they were the youngest of the group.
Then the other two to Yan and Su Shi.
Zhao Luo had three coins left as he gave each of those three to Mo Lee Mite and Wu Yang who had returned after giving a coin to the other disciples.
After getting a coin everyone looked glad but more than being satisfied after getting a coin they were impressed by the chivalrous nature of Zhao Luo.
He had defeated the beast alone so even if he kept all the coins for himself they wouldn’t have complained at all but he didn’t do that.
‘Instead he gave all of us a coin.’
All the disciples shared the same thought for the guy who was leading them on the dragon road.
They looked at Zhao Luo who was standing in a closely packed circle with Wu Yang and the others. It looked like they were discussing something important.
‘What could they be talking about?’
Some disciples who noticed the circle and the faces of Wu Yang and Mite thought.
I told you take these coins.
Wu Yang said to Zhao Luo with an angry tone.
Yes brother you defeated the beast solo and distributed all the coins from the pouch that the dwarf had given to you. I feel bad keeping this coin when you don’t have one.
Wei Bin told Zhao Luo. He was being sincere.
The others also voiced their opinions telling Zhao Luo to take their coin.
Guys.
Zhao Luo said while looking at them seriously.
He felt touched by their reaction.
‘It’s just a coin.’
Zhao Luo thought while going through everyone’s reaction.
I don’t need a coin when I have you all.
Zhao Luo told them as he raised his arms.
He was smiling which caused the others around him to be even more touched with his statement.
Brother.
Feng Mei hugged Zhao Luo.
You are the best.
Feng Mei whispered while letting him go.
Mite was also quite touched by Zhao Luo’s benevolent nature.
He felt stupid that he had tried to kill such a guy before.
It’s okay everyone. Check your bars.
Zhao Luo changed the topic by telling everyone to check their bar gauges which were floating above their heads.
He was loud enough so that the other disciples could also hear him.
The red quirk had increased to make the bar look half-filled.
Is it around 90%?
Zhao Luo murmured as his bar was almost close to reaching the limit.
After the disciples were done inspecting their bars Zhao Luo started walking ahead on the dragon road.
Let’s go. We have already cleared this zone.
Zhao Luo said to them as they followed behind him.
This time the female dwarf had given the rewards instead of an announcement from Fu Zi.
Three teachings two challenges.
Zhao Luo mumbled as he thought about the events that had happened to them since they had entered this world.
Fu Zi had told them about the three teachings to become a superior person.
It wasn’t that easy as they had to reach the end of the road while acting on those teachings. Only then will they become a ‘superior person’.
The two challenges. Companions and Sacrifice.
Zhao Luo wondered while walking on the dragon.
‘What is the connection?’
Zhao Luo had this question.
There may be the teachings that he had to remember but in the second challenge nobody was sacrificed. The other disciples had helped each other in clearing the first challenge.
‘Am I even turning into a righteous person?’
Zhao Luo was confused while a war was going on in his mind.
Zhao Luo walked on the dragon road and soon they had left the zone which was covered by the fog.
Finally.
The group exclaimed as their vision was finally cleared because there was no fog covering the dragon road anymore.
Zhao Luo looked far ahead on the dragon road.
It’s gotten thicker there.
Zhao Luo said in confusion as the road ahead was inclined upwards and the area of the dragon road looked twice as the area they were on.
The size up there could easily hold five hundred disciples in a row.
That’s a change.
Zhao Luo squinted his eyes while staring at that area and increased his speed.
