n'Inner Hall.'

nZhao Luo thought as he looked at the creepy smile of Zi Fei.

n'How long will it take for me to become an inner disciple?'

nZhao Luo silently questioned himself as he looked down.

nZhao Luo was looking at his blank badge. It was completely black without any marks on it as it hung on his chest.

nZi Fei looked at the contemplating Zhao Luo as his smile grew even bigger.

n

"Are you worried that you will end up like this 'trash' here, kekeke?

"

nZi Fei laughed like he was an insect who was making noise.

nZi Fei was pointing at Mite so obviously from the word 'trash' he meant Mite.

n

"No, I am hoping that I don't end up like you.

"

nZhao Luo interrupted Zi Fei's insect-like laugh.

nIt was like a slap on Zi Fei's face.

nZi Fei was now quiet.

nZhao Luo had aimed to humiliate Zi Fei with this turnaround but when he looked at Zi Fei's face he was confused.

n

"Why are you blushing with that creepy smile?

"

nZhao Luo gathered his courage and asked Zi Fei whose cheeks were red for some reason.

n'I love it when little kids curse me.'

nZi Fei thought but he couldn't tell Zhao Luo about it or the other remaining spectators.

n

"Humiliate me more and you will regret it.

"

nZi Fei said it like it was a challenge for Zhao Luo but it was his bait.

nZi Fei was a masochist while being the epitome of cruelty. He was a person who loved to cause pain in the name of punishment. As it gave a cause to his fun.

nHe wouldn't do anything to Zhao Luo now as he thought that Zhao Luo had some potential after watching him against Mite.

n'I will deal with him when he is ripe.'

nZi Fei thought as he licked his lips while looking at Zhao Luo.

nZhao Luo trembled as he looked at how Zi Fei was looking at him while doing a perverted gesture.

nZhao Luo didn't take Zi Fei's bait as he chose to stay silent.

n'I won't deal with this crazy guy anymore.'

nZhao Luo thought.

nWhile Zi Fei and Zhao Luo were having the weirdest conversation with each other, someone had approached the ring.

nIt was Wu Yang.

nHe was now looking at Zhao Luo who was standing with the two beauties while facing his and their senior, Zi Fei.

nHe looked like he wanted to say something but he felt as if now wasn't the right time, so Wu Yang stayed quiet.

nOn the ring.

nZi Fei turned around for a moment.

n'THAP.'

nA slapping voice rang out in the training area as Zi Fei turned again to look at Zhao Luo.

nThis was the only way that Zi Fei would use to become calm once he finds himself lost in the surrounding excitement.

nZhao Luo could barely hold his laughter. He had seen many crazy people with some screws loose before but this senior of his had 99 screws loose.

nThere was a famous rumor which was started by a crazy person.

nOnce upon a time, a crazy person had said,

n'Crazy people measure their craziness through the number of 'loose screws' in their head. There are a total of 100 screws so the craziness of a person can be determined on the number of loose screws he has.'

nZhao Luo had heard of this rumor but there were two contradictions in this rumor.

nFirst, a person doesn't have screws, second, even if they had, nobody could see those screws.

nZhao Luo could have never guessed that he would be using the same method from the rumor to classify Zi Fei as a full-on crazy disciple.

n'Why would he slap himself?'

nZhao Luo questioned as he saw Zi Fei walking towards him.

n'Pat.'

nZi Fei tapped Zhao Luo's shoulder.

n

"Junior you can come to the outer hall and get your first mark to become an outer disciple. You are already capable enough to be in the top rankings of the outer disciples.

"

nZi Fei told Zhao Luo while controlling his lips which were twitching.

nIt was hard for Zi Fei to talk without showing his creepy smile.

nZi Fei was talking about the top hundred disciples of the outer hall. It was the ranking where Mite was on. Mite was among the ones who were the lower-ranked outer disciples.

nAfter saying that, Zi Fei left the Training Area ultimately leaving the trainee hall.

n'It was a fun trip.'

nZi Fei thought right before he left the training area.

nHe had never met someone so interesting. The future was going to be very fun for Zi Fei.

nBack to the Training Area.

nZhao Luo moved towards the unconscious Mite and grabbed his arm to put him on his back. Then Zhao Luo carried Mite out of the ring platform while Mite was sleeping on his back.

nMite could have never guessed that he tried to kill such a compassionate and handsome junior in a rage of anger and jealousy.

nThe show had ended so the other disciples had also dispersed.

nZhao Luo with Feng Mei, Yan, and Wu Yang moved towards the exit of the Training Area.

nAt the exit, some disciples stopped them as there was a disciple who was standing right in front of them while blocking the way for Zhao Luo's group.

nWu Yang moved ahead and looked at this disciple.

n

"Kao Li, what do you want?

"

nWu Yang questioned the disciple who was leading the lack of other trainee disciples.

n

"Can you hand over Senior Mite? We will take him to his room and give him treatment.

"

nKao Li asked Wu Yang but he was looking at Zhao Luo.

nHe could guess that Zhao Luo was like a leader after seeing his battle with Mite.

nWu Yang knew Kao Li as they were both trainees and were together in the trainee hall for quite some years.

nKao Li was one of the followers of Mite in the Trainee hall so Wu Yang looked at Zhao Luo and nodded.

nAfter seeing Wu Yang's gesture, Zhao Luo passed the sleeping Mite who was in a very bad state to Kao Li who then carried Senior Mite to his room in the place where all the Huts were.

nZhao Luo's group was following behind them too as they were heading to Zhao Luo's room in 'The Huts' area.

n

"Wu Yang, did you hear what that crazy senior told me in the end?

"

nZhao Luo asked Wu Yang as Wu Yang was standing near the ring Zhao Luo was on.

n

"Yes, but I think you should postpone on the idea of becoming an outer disciple for now.

"

nWu Yang advised Zhao Luo.

n

"Once you become an outer disciple, you won't be able to complete the hidden tasks for the trainee disciples.

"

nWu Yang continued.

n'He told me about these hidden missions before too.'

nZhao Luo thought as the time he talked with Wu Yang in his room appeared in his mind.

n

"I could clear the War Cry Challenge thanks to you, so I will listen to you again.

"

nZhao Luo smiled as he told Wu Yang his plan.

nThere was no harm if he could get stronger while staying in the trainee hall.

nCompleting hidden trainee missions would result in the accumulation of rewards and then those rewards will be like an addition to Zhao Luo's strength.

n

"So that's the name of the Drum challenge. Indeed extraordinary like Bellum himself.

"

nWi Yang said while he folded his arms in front of his chest.

nZhao Luo looked at Wu Yang and felt that something was missing.

n

"Wu Yang, do you know Senior Bellum?

"

nZhao Luo asked Wu Yang as Wu Yang was saying like he knew a lot about the great Bellum.

nIt was indeed a questionable way of talking about Bellum as no matter how many secrets he knew, Wu Yang was still a trainee disciple.

nWu Yang stopped as Zhao Luo had already stopped when he questioned Wu Yang.

nFeng Mei and Yan had also stopped and the three were looking at Wu Yang.

nWu Yang turned around and smiled while looking at Zhao Luo.

n

"Some senior told me a little about Bellum.

"

nWu Yang explained shortly.

nZhao Luo shook his head as he wasn't in any position to doubt his benefactor.

n

"I was just curious. Do introduce me to this senior later as I also hold Vellum in awe.

"

nZhao Luo said with gleaming eyes.

nBellum was already a perfect person in his eyes.

nA war veteran, a general, a lion among men, a hero, Zhao Luo could keep on going and this was just the result of their short encounter.

nWhile talking Zhao Luo's group was already in the area 'The Huts'.

nThe huts which were the rooms of the female disciples had started thus Feng Mei decided to bid farewell here. This way Zhao Luo will be able to rest when he reaches his room.

n

"I will go now. Brother take care of youself~

"

nFeng Mei said cutely as she hugged Zhao Luo before leaving towards her Hut.

nZhao Luo, Wu Yang, and Yan were the ones left as they walked past the other huts while going towards their room.

n

"I will be going from here, don't forget to rest Brother Zhao Luo.

"

nYan said as she slightly bowed in front of Zhao Luo.

nWu Yang was dumbfounded as both Yan and Feng Mei had ignored his presence. He felt like a ghost because of their cold treatment.

nYan bid her farewell as the row of 'the huts' for male disciples started.

nYan was pretending to be a man so she had a room in this zone.

nNow Zhao Luo was left alone with Wu Yang.

nWu Yang suddenly got close to Zhao Luo freaking out Zhao Luo for a moment but in the next instance, Zhao Luo was also leaning towards him.

n

"There are still three trainee missions left.

"

nWu Yang told Zhao Luo while keeping his voice low.

nWu Yang kept on looking around surveying the surrounding for others. He couldn't let others know about this.

n
