The Fighter
Chapter 44 Preliminary Testing
Wisanggeni's eyes were round, he saw many people with various backgrounds gathered in the middle of the forest. They were mostly groups of between five and 10 people. Fortunately they were invited by Anggoro, so that if added, they became five come to the location of the arrival of ancient heritage. Rengganis who always acts alert to spread the view to the surrounding environment, his eyes narrowed to see Ki Narendra and Asoka keep escorting him to this place. The two bodyguards raised both hands, and grasped them by placing them on his chest to salute the Rengganis.
"Nimas Rengganis.., in front there is a preliminary examination. In the examination will be done checking and strength testing, so that only people who have a good power base will be allowed to participate in the competition for the ancient heritage." Anggoro conveys information to Rengganis.
"Early tests can be done in groups to help each other, or the assessment is done independently Kang Anggoro?" ask Rengganis. He wants to get as much information as possible.
"It can be individual but it can also help each other Nimas. So, if one of us loses, a stronger friend can give his friend strength." Anggoro. The man seemed to already have a lot of experience to join the fight for the ancient heritage.
"Sapto.., try you take our lottery numbers! Hopefully we get the lottery numbers at the beginning, so it's not until the night we queue to get a testing turn." Anggoro ordered Sapto to immediately take the lottery numbers.
Without many words, Sapto immediately walked forward and broke through the crowd to queue for lottery numbers.
As they were waiting for Sapto's return, from behind came the sound of people urging them to step aside.
"Side.., move aside.., if you don't want to step aside or block our way, don't blame if your hands will float next to you!" Wisanggeni narrowed his eyes, as he heard a rude remark from behind. He glanced at Rengganis, and the girl nodded her head.
"Get aside Wisang.., Nimas.., we can't deal with those people!" Hastho warned Rengganis and Wisanggeni.
"Who is he, it looks like people are bowing to him? Just hearing the big talk, they're out of the way. We cannot see the arrogance of cracking down on helpless people. They should be taught a lesson." replied Wisanggeni while looking back.
"Hush.., watch your mouth, Wisang! If they hear your words, you will be doomed. They are not the ones to joke with. He is Tumbak Seto and his men, they love to make noise everywhere." Anggoro.
Wisanggeni was speechless, but Rengganis was exasperated by the arrogant behavior before his eyes. Without a word, he secretly sent out attacks on Seto's Tumbak men to disperse their concentration.
"Aaaauuuw. Find out who he is!" suddenly there was a shout of men from Tumbak Seto. The one who got a sneak attack from Rengganis, raised his right leg. He felt like he had been hit hard, so he felt his legs go numb.
"Son.., who would dare to attack us secretly? Show yourself, don't you know who we are yet?" shouts Tumbak Seto. His eyes turned red, and with a pushy look he looked at the people around him. Streams of energy seemed to surge into his hand grasp.
Everyone who was there fell silent, they did not dare to look towards Tumbak Seto and his group. When he saw Wisanggeni and Rengganis looking at him with a cynical look, Tumbak Seto arrogantly pointed his hand at Wisanggeni.
Wisanggeni directly raised his hand upwards, and a dagger with a purple handle appeared in his hand. Movement of his body like a ghost, as fast as lightning he had already appeared behind Tumbak Seto.
"Clang.." Tumbak Seto's hand collision with Wisanggeni's dagger caused a spark. It turned out that the grip of the male fist was as hard as iron. Seeing his co-star, having great strength, Wisanggeni did not hold back. He felt that he currently had a fighting opponent to test his strength, so there was pleasure in him.
"Bang!"
Wisanggeni carried out the attack with a punch of his hand, and Tumbak Seto responded quickly. But because of the speed of Wisanggeni, Tumbak Seto almost fell. And as he balanced his body, his mouth spurted blood.
After seeing this show, the people there glanced at each other. They had just fought, but Tumbak Seto was already injured. Especially Anggoro and Hastho, they were very surprised by the power that Wisanggeni had. They thought that the power of Rengganis and Wisanggeni was far below them, but the incident just now amazed them Wisanggeni papda. They feel lucky, can invite the two people to join the group, so they have the resources to fight for the ancient heritage.
******************
The first stage of testing is stressful. There have been five groups who eventually resigned because they were declared lacking the energy to participate in the competition. The Anggoro group got the number 10 lottery number, they casually looked at the group that took energy measurements.
"Number 10, please step forward immediately!" the sound of the turn organizer calling the group number Anggoro.
"Hap."
The five people quickly jumped straight to the energy measurement spot. They looked at each other, and nodded their heads.
"Rengganis.., since you are female, you can be ahead. If there is a lack of energy, then we will be able to send it from behind." Anggoro exclaimed. He did not know how powerful the woman was, but her knightly demeanor deserved a thumbs up.
Rengganis smiled, then he walked and was at the front to get ahead of his group. Anggoro looked at Wisanggeni, the young man smiled.
"I'll be at the very back. Don't worry about me!" Wisanggeni convinced Anggoro. Seeing Wisanggeni's gaze, Anggoro finally agreed to the arrangement. Behind Rengganis is Sapto, Hastho, then Anggoro. Wisanggeni standing at the back.
"Are you all ready?" ask organizers.
They nodded their heads, and immediately climbed the 10 stairs leading to the top. First to third stairs, they can pass smoothly without any obstacles. But as soon as they stepped on the fourth staircase, a strong wind blew at them, as if sucking up the energy they had. Calmly and gracefully, the Rengganis smoothly climbed the stairs without feeling the slightest distress. But Sapto felt the weight to lift his legs, his breathing started to wail. Hastho wanted to help, but he also endured the tightness that felt squeezing and deadly.
"Stay looking ahead Sapto, Hastho. I will protect you!" the cry of Wisanggeni.
"Pffttt. slurp."
From behind Wisanggeni channeled his energy through Anggoro's back, Anggoro stuck his palm on Hastho, and Hastho chainly channeled additional energy into Sapto's back. Seeing the Rengganis who remained upright standing in a fresh condition, Sapto undo his intention to channel energy into the woman's body.
Not long after, there was applause accompanying the group Anggoro escaped in the initial testing stage.
