Chapter 44: Chap 44

Dong Yun An has met another obstacle she can not deal with directly. First was the Invisible sword challenge. Second was the Formless shell floor, and now this. Although I can’t say how, I have the feeling she will once again triumph.

Getting up. She must have done thinking. Why don’t you show us your solution?

With her back facing us, Yun An raises her fist. I am sure she is right-handed. Why the left hand? 

And then there is shock and awe. The small hand, that looks fragile and weak, pounds one after another onto the stone floor. After every hammer, tiny fragments are blown over her. Some land on her, others litter around her vicinity. There is a rhythm to it, likely tied to her breathing. 

I turn around, checking Zhao Ren’s expression. It’s like he stubbed his toe into the table leg. He was happy just recently. The last time I, Xu Feng, had to hold my laughter this hard was at that bastard’s funeral.

The floor between each floor is not thin, but it’s only a matter of time before she digs through. I mean it has been twenty or so raising fists. She has already excavated a few large pieces and tossed them to the sides. I admit she is not the best cultivator but she is intelligent enough to make use of her tools. 

If no one stops her, it will be a long dig. Some of my juniors are still in the trance. Seeing something so out of ordinary can be a hypnotising experience, I guess. I myself took more than a few moments to snap out of it. 

In the meantime, I recall some of her previous actions. The most memorable things are her first four fists. She didn’t plow straight through. At first, she slammed at four points around her. Those points can be connected into a rectangle. After that, she stepped out of the box and pulled fragments out. That box is the origin of her crater. She didn’t want to turn everything to bits. She cracked the solid floor into large chunks to pull them out. That’s smart.

Zhao Ren, your plot to derive her opportunity in turn provides the perfect chance for her to prove herself. She clearly took on the trials which she is ill-equipped against while carrying injuries and managed to pass more than half of them. Even our master is here to witness. Idiot, you are too greedy for short-term gain. You realise what I was thinking too, don’t you?

“STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY.” Wen Lu (prosperity) yelled. “The trials are designed to test your skills, not to endure your tricks.” He turns to our master, Ying Feng. “Master. This brat clearly didn’t have any intent to complete the trials. Please fail her.”

Well, Wen Lu. You have always been the least-mindful among us. With you pulling a stunt like this, Zhao Ren is pretty screwed.

“Senior.” Tian Zhong addressed Wen Lu. “Yun An has yet to be taught the sect’s martial art. How else do you expect her to complete the trials?”

“How dare you speak to me like that!”

“Tian Zhong will accept any punishment as long as the senior can provide a reasonable answer.”

“You dare-”

“Wen Lu.” A suffocating air was emitted from the first senior master’s voice. In the entirety of my time knowing him, I had never felt such dangerous intent from him. Naturally, Wen Lu shut his mouth and lowered his head. The first senior master continues. “I want an answer as well.”

Sweats trickled down his face. Being oppressed by such terrifying force, he can only say whatever is on his mind at the time. “First senior master. Please hold your anger. Wen Lu only speaks the truth.”

“Then according to your logic, she should be failed? Why don’t you rely?

“It- it is as the first senior master has said.”

“Ying Feng.”

“Senior.”

“I believe your tournament is to select the best fit to represent us in Gudu. Have I misunderstood this “best fit” as only those who had learnt the sect’s techniques and not the strongest?”

“You have made no mistake.”

“Zhao Ren. What is the meaning of this?”

“Senior master. Zhao Ren is innocent. Zhao Ren has nothing to do with Wen Lu.”

As it dawns on him, Wen Lu drops to his knees. His forehead touches the ground. “Wen Lu begs the First senior master’s mercy. Wen Lu was stupid. Wen Lu spoke without thinking. Wen Lu shouldn’t have said that.”

The first senior master glances at our master, and he looks back.

“Senior. Ying Feng will leave it to your decision.”

The senior master turns to the grovelled Wen Lu. “Wen Lu. I hope this will not repeat again.”

“Absolutely. Absolutely, first senior master.”

“Stand up.”

“Wen Lu is grateful. Wen Lu is grateful.”

As the matter of Wen Lu is finished, our master says. “Senior. I do not want to repair this floor. The doors on the second floor are enough of a problem. Seeing that Yun An could easily continue. Let’s get to the last trial.”

“I don’t think Yun An will reject. Let’s do as you suggested.”
