Chapter 182 - Room Of Beasts

Zhao Yu and Jiang Yun who were intensely surprised by the appearance of a huge number of people on the field, began to look around for the friends that they had made.

"Li Huang and Tian Xi, where are you boys?" Zhao Yu asked as she looked around for the both of them.

Then when she saw them, she beamed a brilliant smile in her face. She then quickly dashed to where they were. And once she got in front of them, she embraced each of them for only a few seconds and said with joy and delight in her face, "I thought you guys were out of the test since I couldn't find you both after the test came to an end. But how could you guys not make it? I am yet to understand that as the test is a simple test, really"

Xiao Lin stared at Zhao Yu with an awry smile in his face and asked, "Simple? If that's what you think, well there is nothing I can say"

While Zhao Yu who was gazing at both Xiao Lin and Tian Xi, asked with a curious expression in her face, "So, boys, where were you guys taken to?"

"Well, when I woke, I found myself in a particular room that was permeated with a form of energy that refreshed our body and mind and energized us" Tian Xi said while Xiao Lin nodded his head in agreement to what Tian Xi said.

"Hmm. Alright" Zhao Yu uttered and nodded her head.

Then they began to talk about other things like how the discipleship ceremony will go, and how they would start a new life in the sect and cultivate their strengths to the peak to become powerful and famous cultivators that will cause the world to shake from just the slight emission of their auras which could be as powerful as an incomparably boundless ocean.

So as they continued to speak, the voice of an elder who had suddenly appeared above everyone of them in the air, suddenly rang out, saying "Now, you all can go to your rooms to relax and prepare for the discipleship ceremony that will start in a few days time."

Then once the elder said that and shot away, Zhao Yu said to Xiao Lin and Tian Xi, "Boys, let's return to our room to rest. And if you are okay with it, we can move round the inner or outer premises of the sect again with great confidence, since we have all passed the final test to become a true and proud disciple of this sect."

"Yea. That's right. Now, we can probably enter the places that we felt were restricted to non-disciples. Haha." Tian Xi said with a delighted nod of his head and then chuckled.

...

When they arrived in the room that they shared together and settled down, Zhao Yu laid back on her bed and began to peacefully and enjoyably roll about on it. While Tian Xi and Xiao Lin who had sat in their beds, had the heavy, overwhelming thoughts of failing to become disciples at this sect totally disappearing from their minds.

However, the most affected was Xiao Lin, as he wouldn't have to worry about Nine Calamities till he would leave the sect for a particular, ranked sect mission and return. And there was no telling if he could have gotten stronger by then to be able to decimate Nine Calamities and the higher-ups of his organization in an instant with only a lazy, dispassionate wave of his hand.

Then with a smile appearing in his face, he laid back on his bed and closed his eyes to think of many things, which included his mother and what she could probably be going through in the hands of his ruthless dad, the powerful Fusion Battle Skill that he created for himself during the comprehension test and how to make it more devastatingly powerful, the new friends that he had made and how they would feel when they realize what he truly is and what he does to grow stronger sometimes in the future, the other energies and their related Battle Skills that he would like to cultivate and study, then the near-countless enemies, which would definitely include Elders and teachers that he was going to make in the sect as time goes on.

Huuuu!

Once Xiao Lin thought this, he deeply inhaled and then shook his head

He then said within himself, 'Now that I have made myself a disciple of this sect, I will have to find a way to cultivate two of my four energies which require human blood for their advancement in growth and development'

As soon as he contemplated this within himself, the eager and excited voice of Zhao Yu suddenly rang out saying, "Alright boys, it's time to head out. Let's visit those damned places that are restricted o non-disciples. Although we are not yet true and bonafide disciples of the sect per say, which is only until after the discipleship ceremony. However, we can still be seen as their disciples since we have passed the final test, and so should be allowed into those places that should be forbidden or prohibited for non-disciples to go into"

"Yea, that's right" Tian Xi said, agreeing with her.

Zhao Yu then stood to her feet and walked towards the door to come out of the room that they were in. Then immediately accompanying her from behind were both Xiao Lin and Tian Xi who were also enthusiastically eager like Zhao Yu to see what was contained or stored in those rooms prohibited to both outsiders and non-disciples.

As they walked across a few of the numerous wide roads in the sect which led to different places, Zhao Yu came across other disciples of opposite genders who were elegantly cladded in the sect's uniform and emanated an unbridled aura of arrogance from their bodies.

But whenever Zhao Yu met these uniform-clad people in her path, she immediately gave way for them to pass. She was the type that would try to avoid any form of confrontation or reduce it to the barest minimum. However, she wasn't the type to chicken out of a fight that she could easily prevent by doing the right thing, which was trying every intelligent means to avoid them.

Then with a brilliant, friendly smile appearing in her face as she did that, she was able to dissolve any of the intense gazes of enmity or dislike that could be directed at her by the people who emitted seemingly matchless arrogance from their bodies as they walked past high and didn't even glance at her once, making her feel like she was some large clumps of stinking matter.

'Bastards.' Zhao Yu said within herself and turned her gaze away from them to continue looking into the distance in search of one of the many prohibited rooms.

Not long, they appeared before one who had a short, bald-headed elder seated in front of it, seemingly guarding it from unauthorized entry by both outsiders, such as bricklayers, carpenters and so on that had walked into the sect to have some brick or wooden construction jobs done, or from non-disciples.

Seeing Xiao Lin's group of three surface before him, the elder who could quickly realize who they were, since they showed shocking and amazing brilliance during the discipleship admission tests, suddenly broke a slight smile in his face and then raised his head to look at each of them in the eyes.

"Welcome, budding, fresh disciples of our sect." The elder greeted warmly and in a friendly tone, while Xiao Lin, Zhao Yu and Tian Xi nodded their heads at him with expressions of both reverence and politeness in their faces.

The elder then asked as he gazed strangely at them, "What do you lads want here? You should be in your rooms relaxing and preparing for the discipleship ceremony that will start two days from now, a date that we unanimously chose after coming to a conclusion. So, you lads should go back to your room to relax. Then when you become disciples of our sects after the meritorious ceremony ends, you lads will have absolutely all the time in the world to visit everywhere in the sect, of course except the places, such as vaults and special rooms that are restricted to even teachers and nearly all the elders."

"Okay. Thank you for suggestion, senior. However, we still want to see what is in this room since we want to satisfy our endlessly burning curiosity. So, could kind and esteemed, great elder give us the chance, even just a fairly small bit of it to see what is in this room. We would be very much grateful to you, elder." Zhao Yu said calmly and persuasively.

"Alright then." The elder surprisingly agreed while Zhao Yu beamed a bright smile at both Xiao Lin and Tian Xi who then shook his head and said within himself, 'The irresistible persuasive power of a woman. Hmm. That's nice anyways. It's great that we have an intelligent, charming and inquisitive girl in our tiny group of three, for if it was only boys all through, it definitely wouldn't be that much fun.'

The elder who had stood to his feet from the seat that he sat on, said to Xiao Lin's group with a slight smile surfacing on his lips, "Alright lads, you can come in with me. Now, before you go in, there is something that you must know, which is this particular room is the one that houses large numbers of spiritually-enchanted massive cages that contains terrifyingly huge and highly dangerous cultivation beasts.. So, always stay behind me at all times and look around from there. Am I clear?"
