Chapter 67 - The Dining Hall

nZhao Luo was still in the dark space.

n'This should be enough.'

nZhao Lup thought as nothing else was remaining to do.

nThe only thing left for Zhao Luo now was to test his increased strength.

nHe could have trained more but he thought that the amount of training he had already done was enough to deal with the Drums of Bellum.

nZhao Luo sat down on the floor of the dark space. The rings were still behind him. Zhao Luo didn't think about storing them or anything like that. He only had one thing in his mind.

n'I will go to the training area first.'

nZhao Luo said as he closed his eyes while sitting on the floor of the dark space in his mind.

nThe next instant, Zhao Luo opened his eyes physically as he got up from his bed.

n'Thud, Thud.'

nZhao Luo lightly brushed his robe with his palm as he tightened it around his waist.

n'Tap, tap.'

n

"Is brother still sleeping?

"

nZhao Luo who was walking towards the door of his room heard a girl questioning someone in a cute voice.

nHe knew the girl meant him when she said 'brother' as that voice belonged to Feng Mei.

n

"If Brother Luo is still sleeping then we will let him rest. He may still be tired after what happened yesterday.

"

nThe person who was questioned replied to Feng Mei. This person was Yan.

nBother girls were waiting outside Zhao Luo's room wondering if they should knock on the door to check if Zhao Luo was awake or sleeping.

nWhile they were discussing this, Feng Mei brought her fist close to the door as she looked at Yan.

n

"Brother Yan, I am going to knock on the door.

"

nFeng Mei said to Yan as Yan nodded.

nBefore Feng Mei could knock on the door, Zhao Luo opened it.

nZhao Luo grabbed Feng Mei's little fist gently.

nZhao Luo put his hand on Feng Mei's head and stroked it gently.

n

"Brother are you fine now?

"

nFeng Mei asked Zhao Luo as she looked up at him with her cute round eyes.

n

"Yes, I am fine now. Don't be surprised later on. Hehe.

"

nZhao Luo told Feng Mei as he laughed weirdly while removing his hand from her head.

nHe was already giving them notice.

n'Hmm, was he able to increase his strength in just 8 hours?'

nYan thought as she looked at the calm and happy face of Zhao Luo.

nSince he had come out of his room, he realized that there were other disciples too. That is the place where Zhao Luo was in looked like a small hut.

nEven though the hut looked small from the outside, it was rather spacious on the inside.

nThe hut was big enough as even when four people were in Zhao Luo's room, he didn't feel that it was crowded or anything.

nZhao Luo looked around and noticed that there were countless small huts around him.

nSome students were still coming out of the huts. These students were all headed at the same place. This confused Zhao Luo as they wouldn't be heading towards the training area right after waking up.

n

"Where are they going?

"

nZhao Luo asked Yan.

n

"Probably, the dining hall. But they are late so they wouldn't be getting anything special.

"

nYan replied to Zhao Luo with her head straight as she looked right into Zhao Luo's eyes.

nShe wanted Zhao Luo to praise her as she had done her research to know about some specific things which were important while they were in the trainee hall.

nInstead of praising her, Zhao Luo who couldn't read through Yan's emotion turned his head and looked around.

n

"So this is the place of accommodation. And where these trainees are headed must be the dining hall.

"

nZhao Luo said lightly as he was checking around. First, he looked around him to see the Huts and then looked at where some of the trainees were headed at.

nThe trainee hall had three places.

nThe place where the trainees stayed, like Zhao Luo, 'The Huts'.

nThe Second place was where they would train, 'The Training Area'.

nZhao Luo was already familiar with this place as the first place he went to after entering the trainee hall was the Training Area.

nThe third place was...

n

"Let's go to the dining hall first.

"

nZhao Luo said to Feng Mei and Yan.

nYes, the 'Dining Hall' was the third place.

n

"Okay. Let's follow them.

"

nYan said as she pointed at a group of disciples who were going towards the left side after exiting the place where the huts were.

nAfter saying that, Yan, Zhao Luo, and Feng Mei who was holding Zhao Luo's hand started walking behind one group of the trainee disciple that was obviously heading towards the dining hall.

nThere was an insane reason behind why Zhao Luo wanted to go to the Dining Hall first instead of the Training Area.

nIt was this feeling that he had lost. As if his mind and body had obliterated this feeling from his senses.

n'Why don't I feel hungry anymore?'

nZhao Luo questioned himself while walking.

nIt was a long-time question that was bugging Zhao Luo.

nIt had already been around a week since he had freed himself from the capsule. But from then it wasn't easy for him to feel this feeling where he wanted to eat something. Except for the time when he had the special ramen at Brother Sang's place.

nZhao Luo was unable to feel 'Hunger'.

nThat uneasy feeling accompanied by the growling noises where the consumption of food would become a necessity was missing in Zhao Luo. Thus Zhao Luo decided to go to the Dining Hall first.

nAfter walking for a while, the three, Zhao Luo, Feng Mei, and Yan arrived outside of the dining hall.

n'It's really big.'

nZhao Luo thought while looking at the dining hall.

nThe dining hall was indeed a massive place.

nIt could easily hold the current amount of disciples in the trainee hall with ease.

nZhao Luo entered the dining hall with Feng Mei and Yan by his side.

n'So many...'

nZhao Luo looked around.

nThere were at least around four thousand disciples eating their food calmly.

nEven though there were so many disciples here there wasn't much noise.

n'It's nice that they are well disciplined.'

nZhao Luo liked this kind of simple atmosphere more than noisy ones.

nZhao Luo's eyes fell on the area in the Dining Hall where the food was.

nHe moved to that area and grabbed a tray from among the many trays which were placed right where the dishes started.

n

"Hmm, crispy meat, tender meat, spicy meat, more meat, and ah, finally some vegetables....

"

nZhao Luo looked at the food displayed there.

nIt was mostly big pieces of meat with different descriptions underneath the food plate and then there was a portion where the boiled vegetables were placed.

nZhao Luo took some meat from the different plates and put them on his tray.

nFeng Mei who was right beside Zhao Lup also copied the amount and added the same things that Zhao Luo was adding. Even though it was only meat dishes everywhere.

nYan only had some vegetables on her plate.

nZhao Luo noticed a table in the Dining Hall which only had one big person sitting on it.

nThere were free tables too but they were quite far away from where they were at.

n'Let's go sit there.'

nZhao Luo said as he walked towards that table with Feng Mei and Yan.

nThe other disciples noticed some people passing them, one after another these disciples started recognizing him as the person who was on the ring platform yesterday.

n'The guy who had reached the fourth row.'

nThey all had seen the moment when Zhao Luo had beaten the First Drum of the Fourth row.

nThey still couldn't forget the echoing of the sound of the drum and the scene of Zhao Luo falling.

nZhao Luo had already become a legend in the Trainee Hall. The other disciples already had a deep respect for Zhao Luo growing in their hearts.

nJust like that whispers started. Everyone's focus turned from their plates towards Zhao Luo.

nThere was another eyecatching reason to look at Zhao Luo.

nThe two angels that he was carrying around him.

nHe already looked like an extraordinary individual with his handsome face and his unparalleled robe. Yet the two girls around Zhao Luo just added different flavors to his persona.

nThe disciples here were just speculating as Yan had yet to talk so they thought that Yan was a girl which she was.

nAs everyone started talking about Zhao Luo and the two girls around him, the Dining Hall turned into a Zoo right away.

nWith so many disciples participating in talking and whispering at once in a closed space made the dining hall very noisy.

n'Hmm.'

nZhao Luo who had reached the table stopped behind the big man and took a glance around as everyone was talking about him.

nBefore he could ask the big man if they could sit with him, the big man suddenly stretched his back to make it straight.

n

"ahh, why are you all behaving like animals huh...

"

nThe big man said as he turned his face around and stopped midway.

nIt was like seeing a ghost who had spawned right behind him.

n'Ack.'

nThe big man cried as he choked on his last bite while looking at Zhao Luo.

n

"Haha, 'Brother Mite' so it was you.

"

nZhao Luo laughed as he sat at one of the free seats around the table where Mite was sitting alone.
