Towards Eternity
Ch 498's. First Student Weng Lou
After taking care of all his needs, Weng Lou went back to town 3.
Before he left, he picked Liu Ning up as his successor while in City 7, which left Liu Ning and Li Min confused because the article Weng Lou had flatly rejected the request of the two of them before.
Weng Lou did that actually because he saw that only Liu Ning and Li Min had true leadership traits among the other former slaves. He knew this after examining them all the time being above the sky.
On his way home, Weng Lou found some weak beasts like bulls that were quite large in a flock of about 12. He killed 3 of them and took them with him on his way home.
Arriving at City 3, he was immediately greeted by Wuyong who had been waiting for him ever since he left. Some of the soldiers who saw Weng Lou tried their best not to make eye contact with him for fear of getting a punishment that was far heavier than the task they were currently doing.
"Master, I've gathered all the information you might want. Thinking that you may not know about Fanrong Island at all, I wrote down a lot of information, as well as information about some other islands neighboring Fanrong Island."
Wuyong spoke in a respectful tone and smiled broadly at Weng Lou, and tailed at him like an insect that made Weng Lou slightly irritated.
"Why are you following me?" weng Lou asked in an unhappy tone.
"Ah, it's okay Sir. I was just thinking maybe you were interested in the information I said that," Wuyong explained.
"I'm interested in that, so now go. There's something I need to do, go back to your place, and get me the information you know about Red Devil College as much as possible."
Hearing that made Wuyong's footsteps stop instantly.
Weng Lou knows about Red Devil College? How could? Did he know about this empire any further?
The only plausible explanation for Wuyong was, Weng Lou got the information after arriving at her City 7. It is likely that he got all that information from Biantai, the warrior leader assigned to the city, Wuyong thought.
After being silent for a while, Wuyong rushed back to his room and prepared as much information as possible regarding the Red Devil College that Weng Lou wanted.
He did not care whether what he did was betrayal or not, because he was very confident that even with the full strength of the Fanrong Empire, it was impossible to defeat Weng Lou, he said, even with the help of the Red Devil College.
It was not that he underestimated the strength of the Red Devil College, but from what he saw, Weng Lou clearly possessed a much greater power that he had not shown him until now, and that power has been demonstrated in City 7, by massacring all the soldiers assigned there.
Weng Lou walked for several meters and reached the center of the city, where can be seen Du Zhe who was sitting on the ground with five men who fought against him before has now been sprawled on the ground unconscious.
Seeing that made Weng Lou nod his head. Somehow Du Zhe was able to defeat the five of them, which obviously the five people had lost and Du Zhe had won.
After his agreement, Du Zhe was the only one he would raise as a student, and taught martial arts.
"Du Zhe's good work, you proved to me that you are indeed talented in martial arts and worthy of being my disciple" Weng Lou said in a quite happy voice.
Du Zhe turned his head back and looked at Weng Lou's figure with his big smile. It was seen that he was panting in breathing which proved that the victory he got was not easy.
"Sister Lou!" exclaimed Du Zhe who hurriedly rose to his feet from his place.
"No need to be excited so, rest first. I know you must be so tired by now."
Weng Lou threw him a pill from within his storage room, and was immediately captured by Du Zhe by reflex.
Staring at the pill and Weng Lou in turn, Du Zhe did not understand why Weng Lou had given him the pill.
"Eating that, the pill can restore your strength and stamina back."
Hearing him, Du Zhe immediately without hesitation stuffed the pill into his mouth, then quickly swallowed it.
Gleekk....
After a while, the pill started to work. Du Zhe also felt an energy flowing through his body, and his breathing returned to normal as usual.
He looked stunned by the greatness of the pill, he was like he had just eaten a very precious pill from Weng Lou.
"Why did you give it to me, this pill must have been very expensive" he said with a hint of fear. He was very sure that the pill he just swallowed had a very expensive price, even though he did not know what the exact price was.
Weng Lou who gave it to her just like that, made her feel very unworthy to eat it.
"What are you thinking? I have over a hundred pills like that. It also costs only fifty silver coins, so it means nothing to me." Weng Lou said by shaking his head at Du Zhe.
His attitude according to Weng Lou was very excessive. But thinking back that Du Zhe was very layman with the martial world, Weng Lou also felt that it might be the right attitude.
On the other hand, Du Zhe who heard the price of the pill he had just swallowed instantly paled like an undead.
With her mouth gaping wide, she fell silent in place, and made Weng Lou become shocked at thinking that the pill she swallowed might not match Du Zhe's body.
"Hey?! You all right?! Du Zhe?!"
Weng Lou called out his name while shaking Du Zhe's body.
Right now, Du Zhe's life was like it was being pulled out from hearing the price of the pill he had swallowed.
"How...how could I receive such an expensive pill?! I have to spit it out! Waita minute! Ooeek!!!"
Du Zhe tried to regurgitate the pill he had swallowed, and ended up receiving a hard prick from Weng Lou.
"Stop that! What are you thinking?! It's just a pill!" said Weng Lou with a frown.
"No no! The price is very expensive! How dare I swallow such a precious pill. Wait a minute, I'll give it back to you! Oeek!!"
The defender!
All at once Weng Lou snapped at Du Zhe's head, this time with a bit of his strength, thus making Du Zhe slam to the ground.
Weng Lou was a little panicked because he was using too much of his strength. He hurriedly helped Du Zhe to get back up, and recover with his Qi.
"Ah, sorry. I was a little too strong earlier."
"Ti-No, it's nothing!" reply Du Zhe quickly.
"Good then. Listen to me Du Zhe, I have two rules that you must follow so that I can call you my disciple. If you can't keep it, then I'll break my previous promise, and won't make you my student."
"To-Please don't do that! I will obey! I will definitely obey! Jaid please don't throw me out!" rengek Du Zhe frantically heard that Weng Lou was going to cancel his appointment as his disciple.
"Okay, then listen to my two rules. First, you must accept whatever I give you without rejecting it in the least. Whether it is pills, weapons, or martial techniques, you must accept them and not reject them.
The second rule, you are forbidden to teach anyone martial techniques that I give or even that you have unless one day you raise a disciple as well, then you can teach your martial techniques. Do you understand?" weng Lou's.
Du Zhe fell silent and slightly lowered his head. All that is explained by Weng Lou is a simple rule that is actually applied to almost all martial arts teaching places everywhere.
It was just that Du Zhe had recalled the pill that Weng Lou had given him.
Fifty silver coins, it might sound very little to Weng Lou, but to Du Zhe and the ordinary residents living on Fanrong Island, it was, that amount of money is a lot of money that is enough to make the stomach of a simple family full for a full year.
If one full bowl of porridge on Black Sand Island cost ten to twenty silver coins, then on Fanrong Island this price might be the most expensive only five silver coins.
The income of a peasant family in this island averages one hundred to two hundred bronze coins, or one to two silver coins per month. This amount is worth the cost of their expenses every month to eat and others. You could say, their income and expenditure is not excessive or less, so this is what makes Fanrong Island called by the name of Makmur Island.
After silently thinking for a while, Du Zhe finally nodded in agreement with Weng Lou's rules.
"Well.I'll follow him....Teacher," said Du Zhe.
A small smile adorned Weng Lou's face, he patted her little shoulder, then invited her to go with him to give the 3 bull bodies he had killed before to the soldiers to cook.
Du Zhe was quite confused to hear Weng Lou who wanted to give the bull body because he did not see a single bull body that was with Weng Lou.
How surprised he was when he saw Weng Lou swinging his hand and after that three large bull bodies appeared before him and several soldiers who were in the kitchen.
They could not help but scream in shock because of this. This was the first time they had seen something like a storage ring that had storage space so it made them a little frightened.
"Gu-Guru...was when I became a true Martial Practitioner, I could perform such a technique as well?" asked Du Zhe excitedly.
Weng Lou's eyes lifted on hearing that.
"Yaa.. actually this does not include any martial technique, but rather because of this storage ring. But you should at least be in the Soul Cleansing realm in order to wear it, as it requires Qi to be able to use it," Weng Lou explained as he displayed the storage rings on both of his hands.
Du Zhe nodded his head in excitement. His eyes were glowing looking at the storage ring worn by Weng Lou. Weng Lou thought of something when he saw Du Zhe's reaction.
He then took out a storage ring from inside the storage room on his Book of Immortality, then gave it to Du Zhe.
"This, take. It was your gift, for being my disciple."
Du Zhe's hand shook violently looking at the empty storage ring he had in his hand.
"But-but.... Guru.this...."
"Remember the first rule?"
Du Zhe was instantly stunned, that was true. He had to obey the rules said by Weng Lou, as he was his disciple from now on. His hand immediately moved to put the ring on his index finger, and it was very fitting because what was given by Weng Lou was the smallest size he had, which he usually wore on his little finger.
"Good, as my student you should be proud of yourself from now on. That storage ring is just a small part of what you'll get after becoming my apprentice."
