5 Trust Not Eyes, Not Ears, But Hear (1/2)

Early in the morning, many teenagers could be seen running towards the Black Paradise Sect's main enterance from every direction. Some, like Xiao Fang, came from another province entirely.

The Main enterance had two relatively large doors, each were roughly 4 meters by 3 meter wide. Carved on the surface of the doors were naked women in interesting poses. Some laying on clouds other in a more erotic positions, and right above the doors were a few elegantly written characters reading: ”Black Paradise Sect”. Seeing these large doors were enough to make any man drool.

The crowd grew larger and larger till finally someone suddenly materialized infront of them. She was gracefully sitting on the top of the large doors and she looked as though she was a deity looking down at the world.

”Quiet down, the exams will begin very soon. There are three parts to this exam. Remember to always be on your guard, because there are many things in there that could possible take your life. The exams will be seperated between men and women. If you are a man then turn right upon entering through these doors. If you are a woman turn left. Fail to follow these simple instructions will result in your immediate failure. Enter now and do your best, but remember... be careful”.

The woman suddenly disappeared. Some mistakenly assumed it was due to her incredible speed. However, Xiao Fang knew she was merely an illusion, because her figure contained no substance when his eyes were closed.

This reminded him of something his grandfather once told him:

”Trust not eyes, not ears, but heart. Because your senses can be deceived, but your instincts can not. This is your sixth sense, and it is developed through battle. Remember, only the blind can see the shadows in the dark”.

When he first heard him say this, he took it for a grain of salt and thought it was just the senseless ramblings of a senile old man. However, after he learned that his father had been sparring against him blind, he could only wonder if his words contained some profound truths.

”Shadows... in the dark”, Xiao Fang thought deeply before sighing in defeat.

The door finally opened, and as soon as it did everyone rushed in. Shoving each other with little regards for courtesy. Xiao Fang was in the back of the group he was confident there would be no benefit from being in the front so he leisurely strolled along while admired the interior of the exam hall.

The crowd eventually made a stop at the next door. Suddenly a middle aged man appeared, standing on top of the door.

The man vanished, then the doors shot opened. In an instant everyone charged inside, pushing, pulling, even directly attacking one another, it was simply a stampede.

Xiao Fang, who was earlier at the back, soon found himself in the middle of the pact. Just a minute later, people in the front started screaming loud enough to make the people behind them slow down. There were many traps on the floor, ceiling, and walls. Xiao Fang could only scoff at the amateur craftsmanship of the traps as he was speeding past them.

Soon enough he was at the front of the pact, and a few minutes after that he was too far for anyone else to see. When it came to speed and traps, he was completely unrivaled.

”If I were to lose to these inexperienced group of children his elders back home would certainly cough up mouth fulls of blood”, Xiao Fang thought.

After running for a bit less than 30 minutes, Xiao Fang reached another door, but he was unable to open it. Suddenly the middle aged man appeared on top of the door like he did back at the previous door.

”This will be the your first challenge. Each of these spheres contains a saber-toothed cat. Destroy a stone sphere, then take the cat's beast core”. The man then suddenly vanished. Xiao Fang felt that there was something off about what he was seeing, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Xiao Fang approached the closest sphere to him then tapped it once. The sound bouncing off the sphere revealed its hollow interior and the contents inside.

Xiao Fang unsheathed his sword.

Despite growing up in the Divine Sword sect, he only learned a few sword skills. This was because he spent nearly all of his time practicing one technique.
