Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 116: Fifth Floor Cultivation Tower
Now Zhang Yu was in the cultivation tower. After deciding if the dragon god would guide Sun in his development, he left the two of them to remain in the residence.
There was no need to worry that the dragon god would harm Sun because he had already lost his power. There was also no need to worry about the dragon god escaping as his soul was already tied to the dragon bracelet and could not go far from the position of the dragon bracelet.
Zhang Yu went up to the fifth floor. He faced the guarding elder. "Young man, why did you get to this floor? You must be lost. Get down to the third or fourth floor."
The name of this elder was Zhuge Da. He was the fifth floor guard within the cultivation tower.
"Sorry Elder, but I did come to the fifth floor. Not another floor."
Elder Zhuge Da frowned. He looked at Zhang Yu's appearance which turned out to be only an outer disciple. He increasingly distrusts his words.
"You know it isn't, to get into the fifth floor requires a special token ...."
"I have it. Please the elder check it out." Zhang Yu took out the token he had just obtained from his teacher.
As soon as Elder Zhuge Da saw the brown token, the look on his face became complicated. "You're still an outer court disciple. How can I have this token?"
Zhang Yu was silent when Elder Zhuge Da asked about this. He couldn't possibly say get it from his teacher who was the head of the academy.
Elder Zhuge Da sighed. He did not ask any more because Zhang Yu was silent. He opened a path for her to enter the fifth floor region.
"Thank you, Elder,"
Zhang Yu stepped through the hallway and started looking for the room he was going to occupy. Not much different from the floor below, the fifth floor also consisted of so many rooms. But there is a contrast that can be seen, namely the absence of students who queue at the door of one of the rooms to wait for their turn. Even some of the rooms looked empty, while sixty percent of the thirty rooms were enclosed complete with an identity beside the door.
Zhang Yu went around to pick his room. After realizing there was no noticeable difference between the twelve remaining rooms he walked into the room closest to his current position.
Using Zhang Yu's special token doesn't cost anything. The door closed after he entered.
Elder Zhuge Da apparently followed from a distance. He was still curious as to who the outer disciple with that special token was.
Seeing that Zhang Yu had entered into one of the rooms he hurriedly sped up a step.
"Zhang Yu, outer disciple of class 175 ...."
The forehead of Elder Zhuge Da frowned. "Related 175? Doesn't that mean he's a new student!"
Moments later Elder Zhuge Da was silent in front of Zhang Yu's room. Properly looking at the board showing the identity of the outer disciple made him curious.
Who would have guessed if this disciple was a new disciple. Of course Elder Zhuge Da was very surprised. The problem was that special tokens could only be issued by inner disciple elders with the approval of master teachers as well as academy heads.
Zhang Yu who was still an outer disciple was even a new disciple, how could he have it?
"Chairman Zhuge Da, we're looking for you where you're standing guard it's here."
Zhuge Da immediately turned his back on hearing someone call him. "Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince?"
"It's not usual that Elder Zhuge Da leaves the place at this hour. Is there a problem?" ask Xuan Si.
"Haha... No. gabe. I was just curious about a student. He's a new student, but has a special token to enter the fifth floor."
Xuan Si and Xuan Wu looked at each other. He was also curious when he heard the story of Elder Zhuge Da. "Chairman, who is that student? Do you know him?"
Of course the look on Xuan Si and Xuan Wu's faces instantly changed looking at the name plastered there. "Zhang Yu?"
"Do you know this disciple named Zhang Yu?" elder Zhuge Da asked waiting for an answer from them.
"Not only know, we've met him. He's the disciple who reached the fifth floor on the dragon stairs."
"What?!" The mouth of Elder Zhuge Da opened perfectly. His face showed surprise.
The news of the new disciple reaching the fifth floor of the dragon staircase had indeed become the news in the entire academy. But he thought there was an error in the news. Who would have thought now that such an outstanding disciple had just passed by in front of him and talked to him.
"Zhang Yu's. Now I am increasingly convinced that the disciple who walked with the seventh brother entering the residence of the head of the academy is Zhang Yu," Xuan Wu muttered.
"This also becomes more plausible with the actions of the seventh brother who was willing to risk his life waiting for Zhang Yu on the sixth floor" Xuan Si said in a soft voice.
They both nodded at each other. The mystery that had become a hole in their heads had already been broken.
"Did you guys say something?"
"No. There aren't. Please Elder Zhuge Da continue on duty." Xuan Si and Xuan Wu walked away from there looking for a room for them.
Elder Zhuge Da slightly tilted his head. He sure heard the two princes talking, just did not hear clearly what they were talking about.
"Maybe I better go back to the vigil" said the old man, scratching his head.
...
In the room.
The room on the fifth floor that looks ordinary from the outside turned out to store very concentrated energy in it.
Zhang Yu stood right in the middle of it. Saw a black-colored ball containing the power of lightning was in one of the upper corners of the room.
"Could it be a lightning seed that has received the power of lightning for many years?" Zhang Yu had heard of the lightning seeds. The method of gathering lightning power cores was then utilized as a source of power energy.
Zhang Yu's gaze turned on the red ribbon on the floor that formed a quarter-circle line with its center point being in one corner of the room.
"This red line should be an impassable barrier to prevent being exposed to lightning poison."
Lightning poison is a passive reaction that is always present in every lightning seed. Very dangerous and can even threaten the safety of life. That is why a dividing line is installed so that students or anyone who enters always pay attention to the safe distance.
However, this dividing line was meaningless to Zhang Yu. The lightning poison that others were wary of, in his eyes looked like a priceless treasure.
Without wasting much time Zhang Yu shifted his body closer. Stepping over the dividing line and visibly sensing the lightning poison attack on every inch of his skin.
"It's ticklish. But it doesn't hurt," he murmured.
If it was someone else, it would have been screaming in pain while struggling to get out. But the lightning poison was completely harmless to Zhang Yu. Even his body began to process that lightning poison into his power.
"Let's see how much I'll get by being here."
