Endless Systems
Chapter 53

“Sister, where have you been?! I looked for you from the beginning and you don't look anywhere!”

Liu Siyue raised her voice that was so worried and angry at Liu Shan.

“Sorry, I had a little business earlier”

After Liu Shan responded to his remark, Liu Siyue still threw a face away and felt annoyed. However, his gaze was drawn back when he saw Hao Fenhua having a cursory conversation with Liu Shan. Moreover, when it was Xiao Lin who was standing right beside her brother. Liu Siyue's eyes instantly turned sharp and full of jealousy within.

“Ka-kakak .. who are they?” ask Liu Siyue.

“Eh? Ah, this is Hao Fenhua. Housemates in my dorm,” says Liu Shan.

Hao Fenhua, who Liu Shan introduced to his younger brother, immediately smiled kindly and offered a hand job.

“It's nice to meet you, Liu Shan's sister.”

His face and voice sounded friendly. However, Liu Siyue did not care at all. He simply stared towards the position of his hand and even retracted his gaze towards Xiao Lin. Because Liu Siyue's attention was only on Xiao Lin who was standing bashfully near Liu Shan. And her instinct as a girl signifies an alarm of danger that wants to approach her brother.

“Ya,” sahut Liu Siyue with cold.

Hao Fenhua instantly froze to stone and the sound of his heart sounding broke like glass pieces. Liu Shan who heard that turned around and held back his laughter.

Liu Siyue turned her head and asked Liu Shan.

“And who is he?” liu Siyue asked as she pointed towards Xiao Lin

“Ah. He is ...”

Before Liu Shan could introduce him, Xiao Lin kindly extended a hand to Liu Siyue.

“Hai, nice to meet you. My name is Xiao Lin, you can call me Lin.”

Liu Siyue did not think for long and immediately returned the hand. Although it looked more gesture friendly, but Liu Siyue's gaze felt so sharp and frightening to Xiao Lin himself.

“Nice to meet you, Brother Lin” said Liu Siyue.

Xiao Lin who was trying to keep smiling was still feeling a terrifying aura that was fixed on him from Liu Siyue.

“(A-what am I .. done wrong to him?)” inner Xiao Lin.

Instead of that awkward introduction, suddenly there was a male voice so loud that it made the attention of all the disciples on the green field to the front.

“Please relax!”

That voice made them all turn their heads and look at the Khan elder who had just asked them to be quiet. And beside elder Khan, there were still Qing Yao, Sheng Tong and also Bai Ling. The three men were with elder Khan as representatives of the higher-ups in the academy.

“Alright, I think all of you who are already present here should already know that we will be doing regular training at the beginning and end of the academy's teachings. It's a mystical training. Training that gives you the opportunity to make contracts and also strengthen yourself in the wild filled with mystical animals. Who becomes stronger and gets away, will get a special authority.”

“And as for the rules, will be explained by miss Qing Yao, miss Bai Ling and also lord Sheng Tong”

Elder Khan threw his explanation to be continued by Qing Yao. He immediately stepped forward and spoke as he had to.

“Good, elder Khan. For mystical training, we will use the same system. Each student will try to survive in the Shenmi forest until they can cross the outer boundary of the other side of the forest,” explained Qing Yao.

“Masing each of you will get one turtle pendant from the academy. Keep and keep the pendant well until it crosses the forest boundary. That locket is as valuable as your life. If you lose it, then you will be immediately considered dead in this training”, Sheng Tong continued

The explanations from Qing Yao and Sheng Tong could already be understood enough for the disciples there. However, Liu Shan who heard that continued to be silent with his index finger right in front of his lips.

“What's up, Mr Shan?” asked Xiao Lin.

“Ah .. no, there are only a few things to mind in my head,” Liu Shan said.

Liu Shan felt that the explanation felt very hanging and there were some things that had not been explained in their entirety. Especially in the locket.

What was the locket being guarded for as if it was equivalent to his life? The same question kept appearing inside Liu Shan's head and made him astonished for a while.

However, time will not wait to get the answer.

“Alright, all the rules have been explained by miss Qing Yao and lord Sheng Tong. The more you collect pendants, the better and there will be gifts waiting for you. I wish the best to all of you” Bai Ling said

He raised his one hand and fused his middle fingertips and thumb.

“Good luck.”

Ltak…!!

The flick of the finger that was rung by Bai Ling responded with all of Ki's energy in the form of fog covering that one green field. Eyes began to blur, everyone began to be covered with a thick fog.

Liu Shan who turned to his side and tried to look around became increasingly lost alone in the fog.

“What's this fog?”

“Miss Xiao Lin? Liu Siyue's? Fenhua?!”

He called out the names of the people he knew and had previously stood right beside him. But no one responded to his words.

The thick fog was trying to be removed by Liu Shan with a swing of his hand. When he assumed the fog was becoming thinner and completely gone, Liu Shan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

A place so different from what he imagined. Liu Shan moved to a place in a swamp that was so dark and also a forest with tall trees around it. He did not see any people nearby, not even Hao Fenhua, Xiao Lin or Liu Siyue felt like they were nearby.

“Teleportation? Is this in the Shenmi forest?”

Although Liu Shan was confused, but his mind returned clear quickly. The ability that Bai Ling used was synchronized with the sound of her finger flicking. This made the Ki energy he had to spread out in the form of fog and move all the students in the academy field easily.

“So this .. Shenmi” forest

His eyes that looked towards the swamp were so dark, Liu Shan turned around and walked as the forest path led him.

As he was walking, his mind again thought about the rules that had been explained. Liu Shan stuffed his hands into the clothes and took the turtle-carved pendant.

“Just before the last sentence of the woman (Bai Ling), he said that the more you have pendants, there will be a gift. So that means ...”

Liu Shan understood what the sentence meant when he tried to recall it. And just at that moment, the bushes swaying around her gave rise to a group of people wearing face coverings.

“That's it!”

“Capture and grab the locket!”

Liu Shan who saw the group of people coming out was immediately riding horses ready to fight. He knew the purpose of those mysterious people was his pendant.

Grud …!!

“You guys wrong choose target!” sahut Liu Shan as he turned to stare sharply.
