Chapter 76: Just Another Foolish Youngster

''I see. Feng Yi, you have also passed this assessment,'' I smiled.

''It was dangerous,'' she replied.

We were following that elder to a two storey building. It was wooden and looked crude at a glance, incomparable to the lofty pagodas standing some distance away from it.

My sister, Ling'er and Feng Yi had all passed this assessment. Though, the girl whom I just talked to, reported that her opponent had pulled no punches against her, and that she had barely passed. I could be sure of the latter part, but confirming the former was difficult with how cheeky she was.

''For today, you will all be staying here. Those who did in well in both assessments will get better rooms.'' The elder gave a quick glance at the dorms and nodded.

''Big brother, this one guy keeps staring at me.''

''Then just beat him up. Aren't you at rank 9 now, can't you even do that?'' I shook my head. 

She was beautiful, of course boys would be attracted. However, the elder was talking and who had the guts to stare at her instead of paying attention?

I glanced beside my sister and found a rather expensively dressed young man intensely checking Chunu out. He was at Viscera Purifying 3rd rank and with a quick scan, I found out that he was actually the highest ranked practitioner to take the test.

Now thinking about it, I was among the top 5 most powerful practitioners in here with the exception of the elder who was at Meridian Opening second rank.

'Must be a young master,' I thought, stroking my smooth chin. I had cut my beard after keeping it long for two months.

''To be honest, he would look better in a slave's clothing than in that peacock feather robe.'' Lingling had a sharp tongue.

With three good looking girls beside me, having decent bodies (tempered bodies, I mean cultivation), some young men who paid attention to such things, were bound to notice me. Gazes swept over me but no one came to speak.

''I will call names now and you will head inside the room assigned to you. If you feel like our evaluation of you has been wrong and you deserve better treatment, you are free to challenge other assessment takers,'' said the elder with a flat expression.

''Yan Kaiden…''

He then picked up a scroll which I recognized from the first assessment and called our names one by one. I had been quite ahead in line, thus my name was called early. It seemed, this elder was only responsible for the first thirty assessment takers and the others would be handled by different elders.

I was sent to the third room of the second floor and the rooms there seemed to be better than on the first floor. Every one above rank 7 got the upper rooms. Chunu was just two steps below me in terms of evaluation, so our rooms were pretty close. Feng Yi was sent to a room near the stairs. She was not in a good mood after that.

During this whole time, the elder didn't tell us his name and just as he left, a fight broke out. I could hardly care about it, but the signature dialog ''Courting death!'' drew my attention.

There was a nice meadow just before the dorms and in that place, two young men faced off eachother. One was, of course, a young master. Though a different one this time. He was a little taller and at the Viscera Purifying second stage.

He was wearing bright red robes and had a haughty bearing in contrast to his soon-to-be opponent clad in simple dark shirt and pants. Although only at Body Tempering 9th rank, the young man facing this young master was not intimidated at all..

At this moment, someone came before me and commented, ''That's Juan Chong, the bully from third lantern street. His father is an official at Pailong pavilion.''

''What a cliche existence,'' I boredly sighed. Why were they even wasting their energy at this time? Young boys were just too foolish.

''Do you know who the other guy is?'' I asked, not caring to inquire about this rather fat person. I was instead interested in knowing how he passed this assessment with a rank 7 body.

''I am his friend. His name is Zhao Peng,'' informed the fatty, looking not the least bit worried. If he was this Zhao Peng's friend, what was he doing up here? I leaned on the balcony and idly looked below, resting my chin on my right palm.

About more than half of the practitioners were gathered down there, seeking entertainment. This was because Zhao Peng wanted a better room and challenged Juan Chong, or so I had thought.

''How dare you lay your eyes on this fair beauty?''

Uh… was I actually hearing this, was I actually seeing this? This young master pointed at Ling'er while saying that. How lame, how utterly disappointing.

Lingling was with Chunu and they were pretty high leveled so no one, not even girls, had gone to strike up a conversation with them. Chunu didn't like to talk with strangers, and Ling'er just gave cold looks, as if she would chop whoever looked at her into commercial pieces of meat.

She looked confused at the moment, though. It was not everyday she got to see young men fighting over her. Yet, I appeared to be mistaken this time as well.

Zhao Peng was a man who only cared about cultivation, and he wanted to enter this Martial House so that he could look after his sick parents, and whatever else his good friend fatty conveniently told me about him.

He was that hard working fellow who was the focal point of all the rich brats' envy because of his diligence. He had average talent and no backing but still got where he was with his own effort. The fatty was fortunate to be his friend and would support him in whatever way… blah blah blah.

''Can you stop? I need to watch this show and I can't hear them talking with you buzzing in my ears,'' I yawned and the fatty apologized. Down there, they were still going on a discussion at the political level instead of just knocking themselves out.

At least, my stay in this place wouldn't be so boring with these clowns running around. Some other practitioners were also challenging the people staying at the second floor, though no one dared to call out the top 5.

I opened the beast manual on my left hand and began reading while waiting for them to start.. I had only glossed through its contents earlier and this systematic division of demon beasts had piqued my interest.
