46 Learning 1.000 Holy Flashes – Man Level (1/2)
The next morning was a normal day for Trevon. He took a quick bath yet he slipped and fall backward for his morning trouble. The trouble attractor master swore there was no water before.
After that, he took a refreshing bath this time. Then, he took Nana from his universe while feeding the rabbink inside his universe at the same time. Trevon went out of his room at 08.00.
Trevon ate breakfast in the Dining Hall with Jack. Aya still needed to learn some lessons. While Jerry was cleaning the newly purchased house for Trevon. Jonathan was still responsible for renovating the gallery. The new bodyguards, Kevin and Lance were ordered to find 500 fried chicken for Master Rabbink. They would meet him in the new house.
”Let's check the gallery renovation progress.” Trevon decided to visit Jonathan first. He believed Kevin and Lance required some time to collect the fried chickens.
Trevon took a bit of time to reach the gallery.
”How is the progress?” Trevon asked Jonathan.
”It is faster than my expectation, Young Master.” Jonathan reported.
Trevon checked the second floor. All partitions had already been removed.
”What about the tables and chairs?” Trevon asked.
”I found a hundred carpenter workshops. The tables and chairs should arrive tomorrow. The place could start on the day after tomorrow.” Jonathan reported again. He was a bit surprised that Trevon required 3.000 small tables and 3.000 chairs. It was because there was no restaurant operated a chair for a table in Redwood.
”Hm... Try to find 6.000 unemployed kids!” Trevon said. ”I will pay them 3 silver coins per day.” Trevon said.
”Yes, Young Master.” This was a huge payment for a day job, especially for kids. A commoner only earned 20 gold coins per year.
”I will also ask Kevin and Lance to help you gather 6.000 kids. Try to find kids with strong feet! I also want you to purchase 6.000 burgers. I believe there are still enough from the spirit stones that I gave to you.”
”Yes, Young Master.” Jonathan reported. ”There were 1 spirit stones and 600 gold coins left.”
”Good. The day after tomorrow, I want those kids to arrive at this place.” He decided to try the leveling. Based on the trials with the pair of smiling merchants, it should be a success.
Trevon visited the fruit merchants, after he went from the gallery. He wanted to give one of them some exercises. The 'kind' young master felt he helped those merchants to be healthier.
He then visited the renovated house. Jerry, Kevin, and Lance were overseeing the cleaning. There were other 30 guards checking every corner of the house.
”Morning, Young Master!” They greeted Trevon.
”Good. How's my task?” Trevon asked Kevin and Lance first.
”All fried chickens are there, Young Master.” Kevin pointed to a room.
”Good. I have another task for you and Lance. I want to gather 6.000 kids the day after tomorrow. I have told my requirements with Jonathan. I want both of you to help him.” Trevon said.
”Yes, Young Master.” Kevin and Lance answered.
[Go and eat your fried chickens!] Trevon told Master Rabbink.
”Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Slurp... Itadakimasu.” Master Rabbink disappeared.
Trevon continued his monitoring. He asked Jerry. ”Do you find something strange with the house?”
”There is nothing strange in the house. However, I find a repair in the garden.” Jerry answered.
”Show me!” Trevon felt there was something with the repair.
Jerry brought Trevon to the garden. ”There is a new wall in this part of the garden.” Jerry said.
Trevon looked to the part. Its paint was a bit brighter compare the rest of the wall. Unless one was carefully checked, one wouldn't be able to see the difference. It seemed the guards checked the house carefully.
”Is it part of the original design?” Trevon asked.
”I don't think so.” Jerry said his opinion.
”Then, ask the owner, whether we could tear this wall!”
”Yes, Young Master.”
Trevon then continued to check the house. ”Have you checked the attic and the house pillars?”
”Yes, Young Master. There is nothing wrong.”
”Hm... Ok.” Trevon thought. [I will just ask the Rabbink.]
”Continue to check the house! If there are hiding spots, marks them for me!” Trevon ordered Jerry.
”Yes.” Jerry answered.
Master Rabbink returned a short while later. It still didn't find the secret recipe.
”The fried chickens here are too healthy and salty.” Master Rabbink complained. None were the crispy type.
[That are 500 different fried chickens. Healthy is better.] Trevon couldn't believe those fried chickens were not acceptable by the Rabbink.
”I have a better one on my planet. Gwahahaha.” Master Rabbink laughed.
[I don't care.] Trevon couldn't go into Master Rabbink's planet in the first place. [I only want the secret. I think it is the time for you to give it to me.]
”Ok. Here is the clue! The key is hidden in the tallest tree in the outer area of Redwood Forest...”
[Yes.] Trevon was waiting for more clues.
”That's it.” Master Rabbink said.
[You are cheating me!!!] Trevon was angry. There were many very tall trees in the forest. He wouldn't be able to check all of them.
”You should try to climb them one by one. Gwahahaha.”
[What's wrong with Young Master?] Jerry asked Jack using spiritual sense. He saw Trevon's sudden angry expression.
[I don't know. He might be sick. Have you asked for a doctor?]
[I have, but Elder Charles said that young master didn't need it.]
While his bodyguards were gossiping. Trevon thought about the art manual.
”I want to find 1.000 Holy Flashes martial art manual.” Trevon told Kevin and Lance. ”Where can I find it?”
”Young Master could try to visit Martial Art Arena.” Kevin answered. ”There are many street side vendors selling martial arts.”
”Good.” Trevon decided to visit the Martial Art Arena.
The arena was located in the northern part of the city, but it was still close to the central area. The Martial Art Arena consisted of several dome buildings with a huge green grass field around. Some smaller amnesties buildings were scattered around the domes.
It was a bit hot, but the air was fresher in here. Trevon could smell the fresh grass.
”Each of the domes was an arena.” Kevin introduced the place to Trevon. ”This is the most interesting place in Redwood. Every day there would be bloody fights between strong cultivators.”
Trevon had visited the arena in Bluestar. People in Heavenly Phoenix enjoyed watching arena fights. Perhaps it was because of the daily danger of the demon beasts. Not only in Heavenly Phoenix, it was said that fighting tournament was the biggest entertainment in the world.
Trevon was even a VIP in Bluestar arena. He had used the family box seats to invite his friends and especially beautiful ladies. Of course, he couldn't go past the first date, those girls came to the box and quickly returned home.
Everyone male and female loved the arena. Everyone in the world loves people with power. The family's main chosens were treated like superstars everywhere. Those treatments were unlike the public perception of a common spoiled young master like Trevon.
However, it wasn't all bad for Trevon. The superstars were busy cultivating like crazy and rarely appeared to the public. Trevon had never met those family geniuses for several years.
At best, those family superstars would appear once every five years in the family gathering and tournament. That was only to solidify their positions as the family chosens. Trevon always tried to act low profile during those family tournaments. He would try to win until he faced one of the family chosens.
Trevon was guided by Kevin and Lance to the martial arts vendors. There were over one hundred merchants selling their products outside the Arena. They paid the location rant to the arena management. They located in an open stone brick field. Each made a temporary tent to sell their products.
”This is the area for selling martial arts.” Kevin introduced the place to Trevon. ”The weapon and armor merchants are located in a different part. While pill merchants are over there.” He pointed in another direction.
”Super powerful technique here!!!” A merchant advertised his product.
”The legendary 'Five Dragons Eating One Heaven Phoenix'!” Another merchant said his product name.
[That art seemed very powerful.] Trevon thought.
”That is a fake. I won't give you the real art for a fake manual.” Master Rabbink declared. ”If you sell it to Universe Store, it will appear as 'Cooking Five Chickens Wing and Seven Pigs Belly'.”
”These are the art from destroyed 5 Mountains and 7 Peaks sect.” Another merchant offered his wares.
[Is that real?] Trevon asked.
”Yes, it is. However, they were incomplete.” Master Rabbink said.
[But you could perfect them, right?] Trevon asked.
”Of course, as long as you could pay the price from my store. Gwahahaha.”
[Don't tell me you could perfect the Flame Punch?] Trevon asked.
”Of course, who is this Rabbink?” Master Rabbink proudly said. ”I could sell the Man level Mortal Rank Flame Punch for just 1.000.000 energy. However, there is still a limit if you use instant learn. After Earth-level it would be counted as one.”
Trevon went to one of the merchants. ”I want to buy the 1.000 Holy Flashes manual. Do you have that?”
”That would be 1.000 spirit stones, Young Master.” The merchant took a book from a pile of manuals.
”Make it 1 spirit stone.” Trevon felt the price was unfair. He only needed to pay the family copier for just 5 spirit stones. The elder, even said street vendor was cheaper.
”I can't go any lower. 1.000 Holy Flashes is a rare book.” The merchant kept his price.
”Then, I will check another merchant.” Trevon left the merchant.
”Please wait, Young Master! I could give you a discount. It is 900 spirit stones.”
Trevon kept moving.
”800 spirit stones.”
”...” Trevon stopped.
”700 spirit stones.”
”Give him punches equal to the number of spirit stones he asked!” Trevon told his bodyguards. ”If Redwood guard asked, just tell them that he tried to scam Trevon McArthur!” Trevon took his fan and fanned himself.
”I will sell it for 1 spirit stone.” The merchant quickly changed his price. He had heard the fame of the number 1 young master in Bluestar. It was already lucky the young master paid him some spirit stones instead of some gold coins.
”Hit him once!” Trevon ordered.
”Yes, Young Master.” Jack punched the merchant once. He sent a spiritual sense message. [Quickly, pretend to hurt a lot. If you don't he would ask to give you 1 more.]
The merchant quickly followed with good acting. He turned left and right and prayed for all his ancestors to save him.
”Oh! Father, help me!”
”Oh! Mother, help me!”
”It is painful, Grandfather...”
”...”
”...”
”Oh, my great great great great grandfather. This is very painful.” He still rolled left and right.
”Learn from your mistake! Hmph!!!” Trevon declared. He gave 1 spirit stones and took the 1.000 Holy Flashes manual.

[Mission completed.]
[User obtained 100 Destiny Energy.]
”What is the price of Flame Punch?” Trevon asked.
”It is free Young Master.” The merchant quickly gave the manual. Flame Punch was really a common martial art. It was sold everywhere and the first martial art taught by every teacher.
”Good! You have learned.” Trevon left the merchant after taking the manual.
”Thank you, father, mother... for your protection.” The merchant quickly named all his ancestors again. ”Your descendant promise I won't try to scam a young master again.”
Trevon finally left the arena. While he loved watching the fighting, he preferred to watch it with beautiful girls.
Trevon thought it was the correct time for lunch. Therefore, he ate at the restaurant nearby. There were many restaurants and cafes around the arena.
While he ate, he took some time to scout the people nearby. He had found some Rank 2 warriors came from the arena. They were arena fighters who came for lunch.
Trevon didn't know whether he could recruit them. But he finally decided against the idea. If those fighters wanted to join their family, they could easily enter the family.
For his bodyguard duty, Trevon only had Rank 1 warrior. The Rank 2 arena fighters would never join for a lowly job. On the other hand, the family wouldn't give important positions for people with untested loyalty.
He checked his destiny missions first.
