Chapter 58: The First Elder
Zhao Luo was standing in front of Mite looking directly at him.
‘Oh. What is this guy thinking?’
Mite thought as he looked at Zhao Luo. He had to admit that this new guy was one of the most handsome guys in the Xin Sect but what was he playing at here.
Don’t tell me that you want to fight me?
Mite asked Zhao Luo as Zhao Luo had just simply stopped in front of him after saying the obvious.
Why do you think I am standing here? Let’s fight!
Zhao Luo said in an imposing manner.
Zhao Luo wanted to know where he stood.
‘I am sure that my strength isn’t any less than Si Chen or Rose.’
Zhao Luo thought. They were the only ones he had seen fighting when Zhao Luo had fought alongside them against the sand lions.
They both were outer disciples so as he compared himself to them he was sure that he already had enough strength to become an outer disciple.
Zhao Luo raised both of his fists and was ready to attack anytime. But as he looked at Mite Zhao Luo loosened his fists.
Mite was shocked to hear the new kid. This was his second time taking this mission but he had never seen a guy like Zhao Luo who wanted to fight right on the first day.
Mite’s eyes were like a Panda while he stared at Zhao Luo. Mite wondered if he should laugh or cry while witnessing the arrogant attitude of this handsome new trainee disciple.
Tsk Tsk. It’s not so simple. Why should I fight you when there are still so many of your seniors waiting to fight me before you?
Mite asked Zhao Luo causing Zhao Luo to back away for a moment.
Zhao Luo looked around at the other trainees who were spectating this little show. The reason he was looking around was to find the people Mite was talking about.
He was looking around to know who wanted to fight Mite as from what Mite was saying before the other trainees who were here before him were a group of slackers. They were like parasites living off Sect’s goodwill.
Zhao Luo couldn’t find anyone who looked like he wanted to fight Mite but he did realize two things.
That most of them were laughing and smirking while watching him and Mite.
The other thing was that some were looking at him with sad eyes.
Why would they look at me like that?
Zhao Luo asked himself wondering the reason behind such sorrowful gazes.
He hadn’t said it loudly or anything just enough to be heard by him and someone who was standing close to him.
Mite smiled as he clenched his fist.
Oh that’s because….
Mite said as an evil smile crept on his face.
Mite threw a punch at Zhao Luo suddenly. Zhao Luo was still looking at the trainees.
Zhao Luo was turning his face to look at Mite. The moment Mite’s face came into his view he felt a crushing blow landing on his stomach which raised him 4 feet above the ground.
‘Ahh.’
Zhao Luo moaned in pain.
Even though he had been lifted from the ground because of the force behind Mite’s sudden punch and even though he had cried in pain for a split second it didn’t hurt him that much.
‘Hmm.’
His cry of pain was a reaction to a sudden hit by Mite. But to others it looked like Zhao Luo had broken a rib or two.
Bro~~~~other Zhao Luo.
Feng Mei cried as she looked at Zhao Luo who had fallen after taking Mite’s blow.
While Yan had anger written all over her face. She could barely hold her urge to punch Mite’s face in the ground. Even if she tried she wouldn’t be able to do it as she wasn’t strong enough for that.
Was that your best?
A sound came from the fallen Zhao Luo.
‘What?’
This was a little shocking for Mite.
‘My prank punch didn’t work on him. Tsk.’
Mite thought as his attack would usually cause the other party to lose consciousness.
Prank Punch was the name of the attack.
‘Sigh. I should have used more than 10th of my power.
Mite thought as he had gone easy on Zhao Luo with the power behind his punch.
Zhao Luo got up after asking Mite who was lost in his thoughts.
‘Thup Thup.’
Zhao Luo brushed off the dust from his robe and felt his body.
‘Hmm.’
Even the little pain that was lingering around his stomach area had disappeared.
Will we fight seriously now? Or Do you want to try another sh*t like that?
Zhao Luo asked in anger. Even though he wasn’t hurt or feeling pain but he didn’t like those who would go for cheap tricks during their fight.
Mite gulped even though he wasn’t using half his strength but something about the guy in front of him was scaring him.
What is your name?
Mite asked Zhao Luo instead of answering Zhao Luo’s question.
Zhao-
Brother Zi Fei you are back.
Zhao Luo answered but before he could end his answer Mite interrupted.
Mite looked behind Zhao Luo towards the door of the Trainee Hall.
Zhao Luo turned his face to look back but Senior Zi Fei was nowhere to be seen.
‘Fooled Ya.’
Mite threw another Prank Punch at Zhao Luo’s stomach.
Thud.
The punch landed on Zhao Luo.
Mite was grinning but this his grinning face came to a stop as he could feel as if something had grabbed his punch.
Are you a kid?
Zhao Luo’s angry voice could be heard as he was holding onto Mite’s fist as he had blocked Mite’s sneaky attack.
Hahaha.
Mite started laughing as he pulled back his fist.
You are an interesting fellow.
Mite said to Zhao Luo.
‘I have never met such a weird guy.’
Zhao Luo thought as he looked at Mite.
‘Is he a clown?’
He didn’t know how to deal with this idiotic guy.
Even though Mite was supposed to be his senior according to the marks on his badge but he acted like a junior.
Follow me Zhao.
Mite said as he turned around and started walking towards the inner area.
The trainee hall was a very big place. Even after holding more than seven thousand trainees it still looked very spacious.
Apart from the houses in the hall where the trainees would stay and the dining area where they would eat there was a training area which was the biggest place in the trainee hall.
It had over a hundred square-shaped training and fighting areas which were like rings.
Then there were various weapons on the side while three square rings had equipment.
Each of these three square rings had different equipment.
Senior Mite lead Zhao Luo to the training area. Everyone followed behind them.
‘Amazing.’
Zhao Luo thought as he looked around the training area.
He had never seen so many rings side by side in one place. There were so many weapons around the rings that his eyes started glowing.
‘A broadsword!’
Zhao Luo looked at a big sword that was hanging on the weapon rack next to one of the rings.
‘That’s a SPEAR. A REAL SPEAR.’
Zhao Luo looked at the spear on the same weapon rack.
He was like a kid who was entering a zoo for the first time in his life.
He did have the chance to use a short sword during the fight against Bimba. But this time was different there were so many weapons and he could choose whichever he wanted to use.
Nice right?
Mite said as he smiled while looking at the surprised Zhao Luo who was just showing intense anger a little while ago.
Hmph.
Zhao Luo ignored Mite.
Brother this place is so big.
Feng Mei said to Zhao Luo as she was also surprised by how big the training area was in this trainee hall.
Yes it is and there are so many weapons here. Look Is that a brick rod?
Zhao Luo said as he noticed a weird weapon.
It was a long rod mad on top of it there was finely crafted brick it was so well made that there was a red shine on it.
That-that isn’t for someone like you. The brick was used by a genius a long time ago. No one has been able to use it like how its use was described. That man on his first day became a legend of our Xin Sect. With one brick in his hand he defeated all challengers in the trainee hall.
Mite started telling about the only weird weapon in the whole training area.
With just a brick?
Zhao Luo asked as he couldn’t believe it. For a second he did imagine placing himself on ‘that’ guy’s place.
‘Will I be able to beat everyone by using that brick as a weapon?’
Zhao Luo thought as he looked around him. There were so many trainees there that he could feel a headache by just trying to get a general idea of their numbers.
That was just the beginning.
Mite continued as the story of ‘that’ legend hadn’t ended yet
With that brick after conquering the trainee hall he went over to the outer hall. Even there in just an hour everyone was lying on the ground. The brick was dripping with their blood on it and ‘that’ guy hadn’t even broken a sweat.
Mite finally stopped.
Zhao Luo wanted to know about this guy who was strong enough to do so much with just a brick.
Where is ‘that’ guy?
Zhao Luo asked Mite.
It was purely because of the strength of this legend that Zhao Luo asked about him from Mite.
After conquering the Outer Sect he became an inner disciple and after improving to the limits he is now one of the ten ranked elders.
Mite told him while he was only answering Zhao Luo but it was a chance for others too as they were listening to this legendary tale of their Elder.
As Zhao Luo was listening to Mite he remembered the face of the second elder. Elder Dousan was the only Elder he knew about.
‘It couldn’t be.’
Zhao Luo thought.
Ahem. ‘That’ man is the First Elder.
Mite finally spilled the beans.
