Towards Eternity
Ch 555's. Officially Joined
Jiu De, the oldest disciple owned by Meigui. He had a very average talent compared to the other disciples that the Meigui Elder had.
When compared to Liang Lu, you could say Jiu De was nothing. However, he was the hardest working disciple compared to all the other disciples. For the sake of being able to balance the martial talent of the other disciples, he completed many missions from the sect to be able to purchase many resources as well as high-level martial techniques.
With that spirit of his, he was able to rise to be at the peak stage 4 Soul Cleansing realm and was preparing to ascend to stage 5.
From the point of view of the other disciples, perhaps Jiu De looked like a Senior who wanted to discipline Weng Lou with his strength. Weng Lou was just an ordinary human being who possessed extraordinary physical strength, but that was all. There was no way he could defeat Jiu De despite having such powerful physical strength that it was acknowledged by their teacher.
"Are you ready, Junior? If you're not alert, maybe I accidentally broke your bone!" Jiu De spoke lightly.
He did not take Weng Lou too seriously and only squatted a little to put up the unsound horses.
"Just calm down Senior, I won't be careless. I'll make sure none of your bones are broken" Weng Lou replied with a small smile.
Weng Lou's legs stepped forward and his body disappeared instantly from where he was. Jiu De was surprised to see that. Weng Lou disappeared from his sight and the next second, a gentle breeze blew behind his neck. Suddenly, he felt something pushing his head and body moving falling to the ground.
"A-What-"
*BUKKK!!!*
Weng Lou's hand pushed down Jiu De's head to hit the ground and caused a small hole created from the collision of Jiu De's head. He did not have time to fight at all until he finally lost consciousness and fainted.
It all just happened and very quickly. The other disciples could not digest the thing that was happening in front of them until they finally realized that their Senior had been decisively defeated by Weng Lou in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, Meigui smiled wryly watching his oldest disciple, Jiu De being defeated by Weng Lou mercilessly in the slightest.
Fortunately he had told Weng Lou not to overdo it with his new Senior. You could say, even though he did not know the limits of Weng Lou's strength, he said, but Meigui knew clearly that he was stronger than Jiu De and therefore he was more worried about his eldest disciple compared to Weng Lou.
"Thank you for holding back, Lou. Alright everyone, since you have already witnessed your Junior strength, then everything is clear. He will be a part of you and none of you will be able to treat him differently from the other Martial Practitioners.
Now, you can disperse. Lou and I are going to go take care of some of the things about him that are now my students as well as you were," obviously Meigui then left with Weng Lou leaving his students who were still silent in their place while staring at each other.
When the two of them had left, only a voice came from the female student who asked about Weng Lou's Internal Energy before.
"Emm....do we not have to take care of Senior Brother De? He might have a serious injury to his head."
His words immediately made the other disciples aware, one of the disciples checked his condition and said that he was just unconscious. Two male disciples, one of whom was a disciple who had previously mocked Weng Lou, brought Jiu De to his room to be laid down, while the other disciples were busy discussing with each other in the field later.
"Senior Brother Lu, what do you think of that kid named Wei Lou? Was he indeed that strong to be able to defeat Senior Brother De in one fell swoop?" The disciples asked Liang Lu who was still in that place.
He looked at them all with a slightly strange look, before then he replied, "From what I see, I see, he only moved very quickly before then pushing Jiu De's head to the ground which made him instantly faint on the spot. Master should not lie at all about his physical strength. Although he did not have any Profound Power as well as Qi, yet he was able to eliminate all his limitations with his physical abilities. If I may say, he may be stronger than me."
The explanation from Liang Lu made all of them shocked. This Senior Brother of theirs is famous not only among the disciples of Elder Meigui, but also within the circle of core disciples of the Jade Bamboo Sect. As a talented genius since childhood, he had made his own reputation in this place and his strength was said to be the top ten among the core disciples.
If Weng Lou who was a new disciple had strength above this Senior Brother of theirs, then he would be part of the top ten ranks as well. But who would believe that? Liang Lu and Weng Lou had not even fought each other, so many possibilities could have happened, and perhaps their Senior Brother's prediction was wrong and he would be the winner if it was to fight.
Liang Lu did not want to discuss further about the matter, he immediately went inside the residence of Elder Meigui, and entered his room.
***
The streets of the Jade Bamboo Sect. Weng Lou, led by Meigui, walked towards the administrative center of the sect, which was a building built right in front of the front yard of the sect.
Weng Lou had previously passed this place this morning, but at that time this place was still very tightly closed, maybe the people who worked in it were still asleep at that time. But now it's much different. Not only was the building open, but many people were also seen walking in and out of the building.
When they entered, Weng Lou could see some sect disciples lined up in front of some tables where there were some people who were taking notes. Elder Meigui brought Weng Lou to a table that looked very quiet and different from the other tables in the room.
An old man was calmly sitting behind it, and was reading a slightly worn parchment paper, when then Weng Lou and Elder Meigui came up to him. He lowered the paper in his hand, and looked at Elder Meigui for a moment, before then his gaze was directed at Weng Lou who was plainly staring back at the old man.
Next to the man's eyebrows raised, and he looked back at Elder Meigui, then spoke to him, "He's just a human being."
"To be precise, ordinary humans who have physical strength beyond the limits of ordinary humans are mostly." Elder Meigui immediately replied quickly to his words.
"I don't believe it, give me a little proof and I'll trust you" the old man said, narrowing his eyes sharply.
The old man was silent, before long he saw a change in expression on his face and he sighed as he was forced to take a blank piece of paper on his desk and started writing something.
"His name and age?"
"His name is Wei Lou, and for her age, I estimate she will only be fifteen years old in a few months."
"Hmmm...so he's not even 15 years old yet....do you want to include him in the core student teaching?" ask the man while writing.
But Elder Meigui shook his head slowly, "No, not now. I want to clearly check the origin first. When I'm done, I'll ask for a recommendation from you to include him in the core disciple. After all, he didn't have a Dantian, so he shouldn't be able to cause any major trouble within the sect."
After a few more questions, the old man finally finished writing and threw a small chain bracelet to Elder Meigui.
"Don't until he's eliminated her. It was a special bracelet for surveillance, if something suspicious was found from him, we could easily find him" the man explained seriously.
Elder Meigui nodded, and immediately turned around and looked at Weng Lou who was standing quietly waiting for him. He handed the bracelet to Weng Lou and said some explanations about the system within the Jade Bamboo Sect as well as some rules that members must remember.
Twenty minutes into explaining all the important matters in the Jade Bamboo Sect, Elder Meigui finished speaking and brought Weng Lou back to his residence.
When he arrived, he gave some things to him. The first was the clothing of the sect members. Weng Lou received a pair of clothes that had a pattern like bamboo stems on some sides of light green. There is also a bag of money containing gold coins, and the last one is a key.
"This is the key to opening the forging room that is in the basement of this residence, you can use anything in it but for mineral materials, you can use it, you can only use ordinary materials for training, or if you want to use some special materials, then there will be a limit on the amount you can use.
You can see the list of rules of his use in the forging room later. Your senior will take you to that room, just ask them. I can't give you more than this, because I don't know what you need to practice and strengthen yourself. If there really is something you need, just tell me," Elder Meigui explained.
After telling him all that, Weng Lou was left alone while Elder Meigui went out. Looks like he still has some business of his own to do.
Looking at him who had left, Weng Lou let out a long sigh and immediately went walking towards his room which was far away in the corner of the first floor. While on the way, Weng Lou passed by Liang Lu who had just come out of his room which was located a few rooms from Weng Lou's room.
"Ah, greetings Senior Brother Lu!" Weng Lou immediately greeted him while looking down respectfully at him, while Liang Lu just kept quiet while nodding in return.
Thinking that Liang Lu did not want to be bothered by him, Weng Lou chose to walk past him. However, when he had already passed by, suddenly a voice came from Liang Lu who stopped his footsteps.
"I know you're hiding something. Maybe Master didn't realize it, but I'm sure that you're up to something. Remember this, I'll never let what you want happen."
A small smile appeared on the corner of Weng Lou's lips, 'Truly an incredible instinct. Unfortunately, my plan will not harm you and the entire sect at all. In any case, the Jade Bamboo Sect has not caused any trouble to me, so I don't plan to do anything to you guys. Once I find a way to re-use soul power, I will leave this sect like I have never been here before.'
Weng Lou waved his hand and returned to walking while calmly speaking, "Calm down, what I want will not harm you all at all. As soon as I get what I want, I will disappear from your lives just like you disciples of Elder Meigui want."
"You-you!? So you're really planning something!?" Liang Lu exclaimed as he tried to chase after Weng Lou. But he did not realize that every step of Weng Lou's feet, a few meters directly passed by, which immediately left him far behind without being able to catch up.
When Liang Lu realized that he could not catch up to Weng Lou, he finally just resigned himself and stopped chasing and left.
*Traps....* Door closed, and Weng Lou threw the clothes that Elder Meigui had just given him onto the bed then went to the window and saw some disciples who were practicing in the back field.
Looking at those who were practicing, Weng Lou recalled back when he was still at the Weng Main Family Residence in White Star City. Every practice he went through, was arguably nothing compared to those who were untalented and had no luck.
Weng Lou always thought, what would happen if he did not find the Book of Eternity at that time. Or how about when he almost dies every time he tries something dangerous and Zhi Juan always comes to his aid.
But he immediately shook his head as soon as he began to dissolve too deeply into his own thinking, "Heah.if he has given me so much, but still he has made me end up like this. What was he thinking about throwing a 14-year-old on an island so far from his home?"
Although Weng Lou said this, but he clearly knew that his ending here was his own fault.
"Ck, that's it. I need some practice, too. I haven't strengthened my muscles in a long time. I hope it's still strong enough to cope with the physical exercise that the old man made" he said, then began to change his clothes.
After he finished changing his clothes, Weng Lou walked out of the room, then headed to the field behind the residence of Elder Meigui.
The area of this yard covers almost a thousand square meters, and there are many places that are suitable for practicing or meditating. In order to not draw too much attention from the other disciples, Weng Lou went to one of the very hidden places and started doing his physical training.
