”Idiot! Where are you even aiming! Hahahaha!”
”Run faster! He is catching up to you!”
”Look at that bicep! I guess their tough physical body is an advantage in this arm-wrestling competition huh?”
The other students that were not participating all surrounded each competition with eyes full of vigor as they cheered out loud energetically.
At this moment, someone with a tattered black robe finally arrived, and as he casted a look to his surrounding, he couldn't help but to rub his eyes multiple times, just to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.
What the heck is going on here?
Am I in the right place?
From the looks of that fresh giant crater over there, that seemed to be caused by the previous meteor impact, so this has to be where the battlefield should be..
Yet, why is it that this place here feels more like a theme park?
”There is no way that I've hit my head so hard and lost my sense of direction is it?” the person said to himself with an unconvinced look.
While he was still looking around, a group of students eating skewered meat while touring the various competition spotted him.
”Hey guys, check that person out! His clothing is in tatters!”
”What a bony figure.. he almost looked like a skeleton if not for his skin! And what is with that long shady beard of his? Does he ever wash up?”
”Was he affected by the blast? Or is he a beggar in this barren desert? Let's go and ask him out!”
They nodded and soon approached him.
”Hey old man, are you okay? What happened to you?” one of them said.
Huh?
Hearing that he was being called as an old man, his face darkened as he casted a scary look onto the group of students.
”Eekkk!” the students jumped back.
Cough! Cough!
Control yourself! Control yourself!
Before I start to kill these idiots here, let me just play along and ask them what was going on here..
First goal of infiltration should be gathering information!
”Ahh.. pardon me.. my old age mistook you guys as the desert's phantom.. it's really scary out here..” he said in a weak, elderly voice.
The students sighed in relief, ”It's fine old man.. but, what happened for you to be in such a tattered state like this? Were you robbed?” they asked with a look of pity on them.
Tattered?
He then casted a look onto his robes.
Ahh..
No wonder they gave me such a look.. my battered state indeed made me appeared like some homeless man in the desert..
He was feeling deeply stifled inside, such that he almost had the urge to slice up these young students in front of him to pieces and vent out his frustrations, but he managed to suppress himself in the end.
Casting a deep gaze towards the blue sky, a melancholic look appeared on his face as he began to tell them of his fake backstory;
”Ahh.. a month ago.. I was a peddler with the rest of my friends.. but as fate would have it, we got robbed by the desert bandit.. fortunately, I managed to stay alive all these while and evaded many dangers in this desert.. before I knew it, my robes turned out like this..” he said, adding a deep, dejected sigh at the end of his sentence.
Ohh this is surprising! I actually have some superb talent in acting!
Hearing such a sad story, the students shook their head in pity once more, ”Come with us old man, we will give you a new sets of robe as well as something good to eat! What is your name by the way old man?”
My name?
Thinking for a fake name is just too troublesome if I want it to be heaven-defying..
After all, even if its a fake name, it shouldn't be anything less powerful than my real name..
Arghh!! This is too complicated!
Should I just use my real name instead?
It's not like they would even recognize me if I gave them my real name..
While he was thinking about this, the students looked at him with weird gaze as they whispered to each other;
”Hey.. this old man is really too senile already huh.. even recalling his own name was already so difficult for him..”
”Hush! Tone your voice down! But yea.. even my old grandfather was like this.. pretty soon.. he might even forget what kind of gender he has and requires him to take a peek on his own genital just to be sure..”
It was only fortunate that the person they were gossiping about weren't properly listening to them, otherwise their life would be forfeit right then and there.
Seeming to come into a decision, the old man in front of them nodded, ”My name is.. Cao Tengfei!!” he said with a prideful look.
Cao Tengfei?
Cao?
The students went silent for a while as they stared on each other in disbelief before they nodded, ”Ahh I see.. then let us call you Old Cao instead..”
Old Cao? These brazen students just put a nickname to my grand name?!
Right now, he was fuming with anger once more as veins popped out from his temples.
Forget it! I'll just let them call me whatever they want for now.. but later on.. hehehe...
