Chapter 82 The Freshmen Contest

The door closed loudly that sent echoes that reverberated inside the area. A cold wind swept across the disciples that shuddered, either from the cold or from the dread that Sara's last words brought into them. They were now trapped inside what could be considered as hell on earth.

The door of Death Prison getting closed signaled the start of the freshmen contest. The teams of new disciples quickly dispersed in different random directions in search for golden statues.

"Elva, take care of yourself. Remember, you have two pieces of garbage with you. Don't expect to get any good grades. If you change your mind, let me know. I'll asked Chandler to take your place in your team and you can come to mine. I've got a new talent of Heaven Level..." Bruce was with Chandler and another freshman of Heaven Level. He pretended to care but looked arrogant, nonetheless.

"Okay," Elva replied calmly.

"Don't worry Bruce. I will take good care of Elva," Zachary said and then waved to Bruce.

When Bruce saw that Elva was not about to change her mind, he stared at Zachary bitterly and signaled to his group to move south of the Death Prison.

"If we stay together, we might not find a lot of golden statues. I think it's better if we split up," Rita said. She stood between Zachary and Elva and studied their surroundings very carefully.

"Rita! Are you saying that I'm unreliable?" Zachary asked as he pursed his lips.

"Yes. That's exactly what I mean," Rita countered.

"How could you even say that? But don't worry. Elva will take care of us. We won't be at the bottom," Zachary said with confidence.

Elva wondered how she got dragged into Zachary's team. She thought that if she joined Bruce's team, it was more likely for her to win.

"We'd better stay together," Elva suggested as she thought about the situation and weighted their options.

Rita nodded in agreement.

"Which direction are we going in?" Rita asked. She prepared herself as she waited for her companions to decide on a direction to take.

Zachary glanced at Elva as he waited for her to make a decision. Elva shook her head and said, "It's up to you, Zachary."

"OK, then. Let's go that way," Zachary said as he randomly pointed to a direction.

They then headed to that direction as a team.

They hadn't walked for very long when numerous dark red dots flashed in the darkne

ld we do now?" Rita asked helplessly as she stared at Elva.

"Stay back," Elva advised Rita.

Rita stood back at once.

Elva stood facing the door and took a deep breath. In an instant her martial energy that belonged to a warrior of Heaven Level rose and surrounded her body.

"Take this!" Elva shot her fists toward the door with all her might.

Boom! Boom!

The door broke into pieces after the powerful hit and crashed on the floor.

Once the door was broken down, Rita and Elva saw that the doorway was covered by silky, web-like threads. They were interwoven with each other that created what looked like a silky barrier that blocked the passage into the room.

Elva and Rita were surprised. They had never seen anything like it before.

"The room looks like the nest of a martial beast." Elva's expression became more serious. She tried to break through the threads, but immediately found out that her martial energy did not work on it at all.

Zachary, who was trapped inside the room, froze for a while. A buzzing sound filled the room and he suddenly became aware of the presence of a martial beast of Earth Level.

"Damn! You are play tricks on me? Let's see what kind of beast you are!" Zachary exclaimed. He then released his martial energy that belonged to a warrior of Earth Level.

As Zachary's martial energy radiated from his body, it lit up the surrounding area inside the room up to a few meters from him. The dim light from his martial energy revealed that the room was filled with silk threads and numerous cocoons in one corner of the room.
