Chapter 77 - The Other Missions
'Inner Hall.'
Zhao Luo thought as he looked at the creepy smile of Zi Fei.
'How long will it take for me to become an inner disciple?'
Zhao Luo silently questioned himself as he looked down.
Zhao Luo was looking at his blank badge. It was completely black without any marks on it as it hung on his chest.
Zi Fei looked at the contemplating Zhao Luo as his smile grew even bigger.
"Are you worried that you will end up like this 'trash' here, kekeke?"
Zi Fei laughed like he was an insect who was making noise.
Zi Fei was pointing at Mite so obviously from the word 'trash' he meant Mite.
"No, I am hoping that I don't end up like you."
Zhao Luo interrupted Zi Fei's insect-like laugh.
It was like a slap on Zi Fei's face.
Zi Fei was now quiet.
Zhao Luo had aimed to humiliate Zi Fei with this turnaround but when he looked at Zi Fei's face he was confused.
"Why are you blushing with that creepy smile?"
Zhao Luo gathered his courage and asked Zi Fei whose cheeks were red for some reason.
'I love it when little kids curse me.'
Zi Fei thought but he couldn't tell Zhao Luo about it or the other remaining spectators.
"Humiliate me more and you will regret it."
Zi Fei said it like it was a challenge for Zhao Luo but it was his bait.
Zi Fei was a masochist while being the epitome of cruelty. He was a person who loved to cause pain in the name of punishment. As it gave a cause to his fun.
He wouldn't do anything to Zhao Luo now as he thought that Zhao Luo had some potential after watching him against Mite.
'I will deal with him when he is ripe.'
Zi Fei thought as he licked his lips while looking at Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo trembled as he looked at how Zi Fei was looking at him while doing a perverted gesture.
Zhao Luo didn't take Zi Fei's bait as he chose to stay silent.
'I won't deal with this crazy guy anymore.'
Zhao Luo thought.
While Zi Fei and Zhao Luo were having the weirdest conversation with each other, someone had approached the ring.
It was Wu Yang.
He was now looking at Zhao Luo who was standing with the two beauties while facing his and their senior, Zi Fei.
He looked like he wanted to say something but he felt as if now wasn't the right time, so Wu Yang stayed quiet.
On the ring.
Zi Fei turned around for a moment.
'THAP.'
A slapping voice rang out in the training area as Zi Fei turned again to look at Zhao Luo.
This was the only way that Zi Fei would use to become calm once he finds himself lost in the surrounding excitement.
Zhao Luo could barely hold his laughter. He had seen many crazy people with some screws loose before but this senior of his had 99 screws loose.
There was a famous rumor which was started by a crazy person.
Once upon a time, a crazy person had said,
'Crazy people measure their craziness through the number of 'loose screws' in their head. There are a total of 100 screws so the craziness of a person can be determined on the number of loose screws he has.'
Zhao Luo had heard of this rumor but there were two contradictions in this rumor.
First, a person doesn't have screws, second, even if they had, nobody could see those screws.
Zhao Luo could have never guessed that he would be using the same method from the rumor to classify Zi Fei as a full-on crazy disciple.
'Why would he slap himself?'
Zhao Luo questioned as he saw Zi Fei walking towards him.
'Pat.'
Zi Fei tapped Zhao Luo's shoulder.
"Junior you can come to the outer hall and get your first mark to become an outer disciple. You are already capable enough to be in the top rankings of the outer disciples."
Zi Fei told Zhao Luo while controlling his lips which were twitching.
It was hard for Zi Fei to talk without showing his creepy smile.
Zi Fei was talking about the top hundred disciples of the outer hall. It was the ranking where Mite was on. Mite was among the ones who were the lower-ranked outer disciples.
After saying that, Zi Fei left the Training Area ultimately leaving the trainee hall.
'It was a fun trip.'
Zi Fei thought right before he left the training area.
He had never met someone so interesting. The future was going to be very fun for Zi Fei.
Back to the Training Area.
Zhao Luo moved towards the unconscious Mite and grabbed his arm to put him on his back. Then Zhao Luo carried Mite out of the ring platform while Mite was sleeping on his back.
Mite could have never guessed that he tried to kill such a compassionate and handsome junior in a rage of anger and jealousy.
The show had ended so the other disciples had also dispersed.
Zhao Luo with Feng Mei, Yan, and Wu Yang moved towards the exit of the Training Area.
At the exit, some disciples stopped them as there was a disciple who was standing right in front of them while blocking the way for Zhao Luo's group.
Wu Yang moved ahead and looked at this disciple.
"Kao Li, what do you want?"
Wu Yang questioned the disciple who was leading the lack of other trainee disciples.
"Can you hand over Senior Mite? We will take him to his room and give him treatment."
Kao Li asked Wu Yang but he was looking at Zhao Luo.
He could guess that Zhao Luo was like a leader after seeing his battle with Mite.
Wu Yang knew Kao Li as they were both trainees and were together in the trainee hall for quite some years.
Kao Li was one of the followers of Mite in the Trainee hall so Wu Yang looked at Zhao Luo and nodded.
After seeing Wu Yang's gesture, Zhao Luo passed the sleeping Mite who was in a very bad state to Kao Li who then carried Senior Mite to his room in the place where all the Huts were.
Zhao Luo's group was following behind them too as they were heading to Zhao Luo's room in 'The Huts' area.
"Wu Yang, did you hear what that crazy senior told me in the end?"
Zhao Luo asked Wu Yang as Wu Yang was standing near the ring Zhao Luo was on.
"Yes, but I think you should postpone on the idea of becoming an outer disciple for now."
Wu Yang advised Zhao Luo.
"Once you become an outer disciple, you won't be able to complete the hidden tasks for the trainee disciples."
Wu Yang continued.
'He told me about these hidden missions before too.'
Zhao Luo thought as the time he talked with Wu Yang in his room appeared in his mind.
"I could clear the War Cry Challenge thanks to you, so I will listen to you again."
Zhao Luo smiled as he told Wu Yang his plan.
There was no harm if he could get stronger while staying in the trainee hall.
Completing hidden trainee missions would result in the accumulation of rewards and then those rewards will be like an addition to Zhao Luo's strength.
"So that's the name of the Drum challenge. Indeed extraordinary like Bellum himself."
Wi Yang said while he folded his arms in front of his chest.
Zhao Luo looked at Wu Yang and felt that something was missing.
"Wu Yang, do you know Senior Bellum?"
Zhao Luo asked Wu Yang as Wu Yang was saying like he knew a lot about the great Bellum.
It was indeed a questionable way of talking about Bellum as no matter how many secrets he knew, Wu Yang was still a trainee disciple.
Wu Yang stopped as Zhao Luo had already stopped when he questioned Wu Yang.
Feng Mei and Yan had also stopped and the three were looking at Wu Yang.
Wu Yang turned around and smiled while looking at Zhao Luo.
"Some senior told me a little about Bellum."
Wu Yang explained shortly.
Zhao Luo shook his head as he wasn't in any position to doubt his benefactor.
"I was just curious. Do introduce me to this senior later as I also hold Vellum in awe."
Zhao Luo said with gleaming eyes.
Bellum was already a perfect person in his eyes.
A war veteran, a general, a lion among men, a hero, Zhao Luo could keep on going and this was just the result of their short encounter.
While talking Zhao Luo's group was already in the area 'The Huts'.
The huts which were the rooms of the female disciples had started thus Feng Mei decided to bid farewell here. This way Zhao Luo will be able to rest when he reaches his room.
"I will go now. Brother take care of youself~"
Feng Mei said cutely as she hugged Zhao Luo before leaving towards her Hut.
Zhao Luo, Wu Yang, and Yan were the ones left as they walked past the other huts while going towards their room.
"I will be going from here, don't forget to rest Brother Zhao Luo."
Yan said as she slightly bowed in front of Zhao Luo.
Wu Yang was dumbfounded as both Yan and Feng Mei had ignored his presence. He felt like a ghost because of their cold treatment.
Yan bid her farewell as the row of 'the huts' for male disciples started.
Yan was pretending to be a man so she had a room in this zone.
Now Zhao Luo was left alone with Wu Yang.
Wu Yang suddenly got close to Zhao Luo freaking out Zhao Luo for a moment but in the next instance, Zhao Luo was also leaning towards him.
"There are still three trainee missions left."
Wu Yang told Zhao Luo while keeping his voice low.
Wu Yang kept on looking around surveying the surrounding for others. He couldn't let others know about this.
