Chapter 39 I Have A Very Simple Idea. (Part Two)


    What angered them more was that Zen was able to resist damage from their attacks. This was beyond


    their imagination!


    "Damn it! I''ve used up all my strength!" One of the men stopped and gasped. He felt so weak that he


    couldn''t even raise his arms.


    Under the weight of the pressure on this stretch of the road, the man''s body gave out. He copsed on


    the ground, shook his head, and said, "This terrible pressure and the running have made me very tired,


    not to mention beating that brat. Holy crap!"


    The pressure of 4, 000 pounds was originally designed for cultivators at the marrow refining level.


    Under normal conditions, these men wouldn''t have tired. However, their strength ran out faster as they


    were attacking Zen while bearing the great pressure. They soon felt weary.


    Just as they were about to give up, the schr-like man suddenly called out with excitement, "He is


    bleeding!" He saw the red liquid flowing out of Zen''s body and assumed it was blood. He said with


    pleasure, "I doubted whether this kid''s body could be injured. Now, look at him! We have wounded him.


    He''s done! Let''s carry on hitting him!"


    Seeing that Zen was bleeding, the four men were overjoyed. They didn''t want to fail the client.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    They motivated themselves to keep striking Zen as hard as possible.


    When Zen thought they were going to give up hitting him, he felt upset. He could feel his body growing


    stronger with each blow. It was disappointing that they were giving up. He did not want it to end so


    quickly.


    However, when they mistook the impurities flowing from Zen''s body to be blood, they thought he was


    close to reaching his physical limit. So, they renewed their efforts!


    Zen was ecstatic inside, but he didn''t show any emotions. On the contrary, he pretended to be close to


    complete exhaustion. While suffering their beatings, he staggered forward, being ready to enjoy the


    second round of body refining.


    Zen did not know that thirty miles away, the chief examiner, an elderly man with white eyebrows, was


    watching the scene.


    Beside the chief examiner stood a young woman dressed in green.


    Both of them stared at a waist-high jade b, also known as the ''Picture b'', in front of them. They


    could see everything that was happening on the whole path.


    At this time, the images on the Picture b were showing the scene of Zen being chased and beaten.


    The woman and the chief examiner could not look away. Their expressions conveyed the astonishment


    they felt.


    "He is resisting the attacks of four cultivators at the marrow refining level, but he is only at the organ


    refining level. It seems that we have an interesting candidate in the initial exam this month!" said the


    young woman with a smile.


    The chief examiner felt embarrassed when he heard the young woman''s statement. It seemed that the


    examinee had invoked her interest. He thought for a while and said, "Master Su, you can''t think like


    that! If the masters of the other 32 peaks of Cloud Sect pick their disciples like you do, it will lead to a


    big mess!"


    Master Su grinned and turned to face the chief examiner. She said, "Well, if that is the case, then let


    the masters also pick their own disciples. I will not mind."


    "But ording to the rules, these disciples are supposed to be allotted to a peak by the ranking of their


    exam results. Last month, you picked quite a gifted disciple. The other masters have been discontent


    since. If this month you pick another, then..." The chief examiner elder stopped and shook his head.


    Master Su snorted with disapproval and said, "So what? They are unhappy? Well, they can always


    come and speak with me if they feel that way. What exactly are they using me of? The fighting


    power of the Drizzle Peak was ranked the lowest among the 33 peaks of Cloud Sect. If I don''t use


    some tricks, how can I hope to change that? Mmm, let me think! Right, I have a very simple idea. I will


    go and tell this boy to save his strength so that he doesn''t get the top rank in the entrance exam! Then


    the other masters won''t be upset that I pick a strong disciple, right?"


    "Ah..." the chief examiner had not expected Master Su toe up with such a surprising idea. The


    idea did not sit well with him!


    Cloud Sect provided the inner and the outer disciples with 33 peaks for cultivating. To stimte all of


    the disciples to cultivate hard, Cloud Sect had made a set of very rigorous, scientific rules. The most


    important rule was about thepetition among the 33 peaks.


    Thepetition affected not only the disciples but also their masters. Each master had their tasks and


    goals. To produce better disciples, they would naturally scramble for the gifted ones.


    If a person passed both the initial and the entrance exam and showed great talent and strength, every


    master would be eager to pick that person as their disciple.


    If Master Su broke the rule for the benefit of the Drizzle Peak, she would incur severalints from


    the other masters.
