80 Entrance Jade. (1/2)
”Why is such a simple looking man close to my future wife?”
His expression flashed as he eyed Su Min, finding nothing out of the ordinary. But, seeing his indifferent expression and how he is capable of disrupting the ceremony, doubts surfaced in Chang Hui's mind.
”I need to find out his strength... And if he is as ordinary as he seems, then... Hehe...”
That grin that seemed to define him struck his face as he laughed under his breath. Those around him paled even further as they hiccupped out of fright.
”I haven't seen Senior Brother this excited since his fight with the Number One...”
A man who was closer to Chang Hui muttered, eyes shining with a brilliant light. He wore red-robes similar to the red-haired man, and his face was shrouded in the same crimson aura.
His hair, though, was white instead of red.
It seemed that he originated from the same family, or he had at least learnt a similar technique.
”I wonder what Senior Brother will think of... I guess it's my time to shine once more hehe.”
He flashed with a smirk as he appeared before Chang Hui; it was like he knew Chang Hui would summon him.
Chang Hui paused as he eyed the man, but instead of grumbling, a strange light gleamed in his pupils as he threw a blurred crimson object. The man seemed to shiver with excitement as he grasped and placed the object in a small pouch.
Chang Hui's eyes flashed as he spoke.
”Find everything you can about that golden-haired man...”
The man nodded as he took a glance at Su Min who was currently facing the bowing sect master. Though, it was obvious that the Sect Master was bowing toward Wu Miang and just ignoring Su Min's presence.
He noticed this, and thus a sense of confidence seethed.
”Sure!”
He kneeled before Chang Hui and leapt upwards, flying to a place unknown.
Chang Hui's eyes narrowed as he continued to stare at Su Min, grumbling to himself.
”Let's see, shall we...”
However, in a corner within the group of people surrounding Chang Hui, a beaten up servant stared at Chang Hui with fervent eyes. Everyone near him either glanced at him with disdain or ignored him, but that kid's eyes seemed to be blazing with excitement as a thought entered his head.
'I need to find out who this golden-haired man is!'
...
...
...
*Woosh!*
Within a booming shockwave, two figures blazed past the unending scenery of a peak. One figure stepped on the air with a disastrous power, whilst the other fluttered like a butterfly in a hailstorm. It was obvious which one was struggling to keep up, and such a person spoke with a heaving chest.
”T-there was Martial Energy around it..?”
She was gasping for air as she done so.
”Mhm.”
The person next to her nodded as he continued to thump the atmosphere with his ghastly strength, shining with his golden hair.
”Su M-Min, please slow down!”
She couldn't take it anymore as she shouted at Su Min with a pale face, who only sighed and slowed down.
”Miss Wu Miang I am just training you to be more endurant, as if you can't even take this level then how on earth will you fight the top geniuses in this sect?”
Su Min smiled as he spoke, thoughts blazing inside of his head.
'She's not even at that level... I need to make her stronger before finding humanity, otherwise, I won't be able to protect her if I get in a brawl with someone on my level. That altar also gives me a rather disconcerting feeling about this sect's interests.'
Wu Miang grumbled as she continued to follow Su Min, who was still going a little too fast for her tastes. The scenery continued to blaze past as they travelled at a speed close to that of a 6th step cultivator, thus it didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
”So this is the Strength Pavilion?”
Su Min murmured as he gazed at a tower that pierced the sky, shrouded in a strange atmosphere that blew a fog around it from time to time. Its entire hull was coated in a pitch black, which was rather strange considering that heavenly energy takes the colour white as its primary form.
As its height grew, it would narrow in size, so its shape was that of a pyramid of some kind. At the very bottom was a large opening where numerous disciples walked in out of, either pale with weakness or energetic with excitement.
”Time to get some points!”
Wu Miang laughed as she plodded onto the ground and stared at the pavilion with interest; Su Min landed next to her as he pondered.
”I wonder if I can get some points as well...”
His murmur caused Wu Miang to halt and a strange look to overtake her face.
”Are you kidding? Wouldn't that be unfair considering how powerful you are? Are you even at the age to be considered a disciple?”
Su Min glanced at Wu Miang who was giving him an expression of disdain. He doesn't really care about his image, so being shameless was natural.
”Who said I was powerful, and how am I any older than you?”
Wu Miang froze and thought of retorting. However, with a quick glimpse,she noticed a deep bloodthirst cloud Su Min's eyes as he stared at the pavilion. This caused a shiver to quake through her, one of a crimson drenched in the blood of an uncountable quantity of corpses.
'He really isn't ordinary...'
It didn't take them long to enter the pavilion, but considering Wu Miang's extraordinary beauty and her fame from being the overseer's daughter, many cultivators all gaped at her presence.
”She's going to attempt the 99 Heavenly Realms?”
”Quick, let's watch the leaderboard!”
Some rushed to a massive pillar engraved in text and others just stood there staring, not even trying to hide it. Nevertheless, those who noticed Su Min's presence weren't too happy.
”It's that ordinary guy again, lucky bastard!”
