Chapter 602: Outer Sect Duties 2
“They will be forced to stay within the valley for a specific amount of time before they are released by crushing a teleportation card.”
“Nice then,” Zeras said, but Kenji looked at him as if he were an alien before shaking his head.
“It’s anything but nice. I hear that sometimes, the teleportation card won’t work quickly, and some of them that are supposed to be punished for two hours might spend five hours!
By that time, they will come back with at least three of their body parts missing and half of their lifespan gone!” Kenji said, goosebumps covering his huge, jiggly fat cheeks.
“Has any student ever signed up for this willingly?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask as Kenji chuckled.
“What kind of lunatic would sign up willingly for this? The mere mention of Shadow Oppression Valley makes even the laziest of outer sect members immediately begin taking their work seriously.
Nobody has ever signed up for this since the history of the sect!” he declared, and Zeras didn’t really find it that shocking.
“Is there any reward for any of the duties performed in the sect?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask as Kenji shook his head.
“No. They are an exchange for the sect providing us a very beautiful home to live in, security, and also good cultivation grounds.
Though sometimes, the hard workers might receive cards that they can use to exchange for new battle arts and techniques in the Martial God Hall.
The only work that is given a reward is this one. I think there are rewards based on the number of devils killed.
Tempting rewards, but not tempting enough to make anybody sign up for it,” Kenji explained as he looked wryly at the large mountain.
But Zeras had a light flashing in his eyes as he looked at the place.
‘The perfect cultivation ground to sharpen my will and my combat prowess. And I can better familiarize myself with my various battle techniques
“Tempting but no,” he said.
While fewer work hours would mean having more time for his cultivation. He knew would be fighting with enormous hulking devils beyond any power ever known in three years from now.
Losing his combat instinct was the last thing he ought to do right now, something that has a possibility of happening if all he did for days was simply sit down and cultivate all day long.
“I’m sorry, Zeras,” Kenji said as he stood in his way,
“I can’t allow you to do this. You’re the brother of an elder. If you die there, I will be killed with you because it was only on my request that you joined.
I do value my life, you see. I don’t even have 30 kids yet. Dying is the last thing in my dictionary right now,” he said as Zeras walked forward and cupped his fat cheek.
“You’re an idiot, Kenji. I’m the brother of a revered elder. Of course, I can’t die there.
And even if I do, there are more than a plethora of ways by which I will be brought back to life by my family. So yeah, I’m good.
Besides, I’m not ready to die yet. I’m simply curious about it. I’ll lose interest once I see how dangerous it is. Don’t fall for my tricks, dumdum,” he said in childish mockery as he headed on his way.
“Hmmmmm, that sounds okay,” Kenji said, thinking about it with his brain. Zeras was a young master of a powerful clan in the sect.
Of course, there was no way he wouldn’t have his own escaping skills that are bestowed by his clan.
Besides, even if he died, his family would be able to pay the price of bringing him back to life with their countless resources. He would be fine either way.
And once the young man learned his lesson, he would never attempt it again. It would only be for today, and his reputation wouldn’t be on the line.
That was fine in every way.
