Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Entrapment

Month passed. There were no complaints from the two senior disciples that bothered Zhaoling at that time. However, the look of dislike is now drawn from almost half of the students of the College. Obviously, they were incited by someone to hate Zhaoling, and the person must be the same person as well.

Today the school is holding a hunting event. One group consists of four to five people. All were required to choose their respective groups and those without the groups would be told to hunt on their own.

It's a good chance to get rid of Zhaoling, that little bully. All those who hate him agree to get Zhaoling eliminated from here for all eternity. While the others, they have their own group because they have been in groups since. So, Zhaoling was alone.

"Hows it? Do you have a group of all of them?" Ask Great Teacher Hui.

"Already," they answered.

The glance of Great Master Hui's eyes was fixed on a young man who was casually standing alone among the groups. "Zhaolingu. Why are you alone? Which group did you belong to?" Ask with astonishment. Because, there was no one near him from the many students in the College.

With a fist in front that held the palm together, Zhaoling bowed respectfully. "I can hunt without the help of others, Great Master!" Zhaoling's reply seemed arrogant. But behind that, he was sad because no one wanted to group with him.

"Huuuu. You arrogant boy!" Cibir all students in unison.

Ruckus occurs. The murmurs of the disciples floated mockery and scorn that made Zhaoling hurt. But, his heart was getting used to enduring the pain that would probably continue for as long as he was in this College.

"Patience, Zhaoling! Three more years, then you will be free from this place and become a strong Swordsman." Trying to strengthen yourself. His resolve is round. He does not want to be oppressed by others. The fateful events in the Palace made him aware of the importance of martial arts. Plus, the usurpation of the throne will definitely invite war in the future.

"Simmer down everyone!" Teacher Jin shouted. "If you keep making a fuss like this? The hunt will be cancelled! You gotit?" Further.

All answered in unison. "understand!"

Teacher Jin again said. "good. For Zhaoling, according to the rules. If he doesn't have a group, then he'll be hunting on his own. Isn't that good for you guys in groups? That makes it easy for you to get hunted animals. So, this hunt we're starting!"

After the word 'start' spoken by Teacher Jin, all the disciples split with their respective groups towards the forest. If they get a large and strong game, it is considered to win. But, that's what's hard. Because, most of the disciples have not mastered the science of Dragon Tread which is the hallmark of Shadow Dragon College.

The Dragon Tread is the core science of Shadow Dragon College. In addition to the Dragon Tread, there are also Dragon Claw, Flying Dragon, Sleeping Dragon, and deadly moves, namely Fire Dragon Burst. This move was only owned by Supreme Master Lon Thong. None of the teachers could master it. In addition to the level of difficulty, the skill also needs full concentration in cultivating.

It's been an hour. There was no sign of a single group coming to bring their hunting results. In addition to hunting, the group must also collect the red flags that the Master has spread in the forest.

All the groups are busy looking for game animals. But, there are some groups that are looking for ways to harm Zhaoling. Start with traps on the ground, traps on trees, and long-range attacks if needed. Anyway, they'll be satisfied if Zhaoling is removed for good.

One by one the group had returned to the College with their hunted animals. Most of the group carry deer as targeted animals because it is very easy to get it. Nearly half of the students have returned. So where are some of them?

Right now, Zhaoling was moving quickly while occasionally checking the surroundings. If there are hunted animals that can be captured to be brought before the teachers. But so far, no animal has passed by in front of his eyes. Is it possible that all the animals in the forest know that they will come hunters?

Damn

Zhaoling was upset that the sun was about to sink, but he had not seen any of his hunts. He immediately jumped on the ground after jumping from one tree to another. He chose to watch from above to make it easier to catch game animals. But today was really bad for him.

In fact, all the beasts that could be hunted in the forest were deliberately driven out by the disciples who were hostile to Zhaoling until they moved to another forest in the southeast. They don't want Zhaoling to win this hunt because they know that Zhaoling's power is extraordinary.

Unbeknownst to him, a trap on the ground deliberately set by the hostile disciples was trampled at Zhaoling's feet. Soil that has been dug with a depth that is deep enough, covered with grass and dry leaves on top with twigs below. As a result, he slumped into the hole about thirty meters. In fact, he was a pretty vigilant person.

"Whoooaaa," screamed loudly as his body mired into the hole.

Zhaoling can't do anything, even if he just wants to jump. Because, the hole made in addition to the inside is also quite wide. So, he did not have time to hold hands anywhere because of surprise.

Brucks

His body collapsed at the bottom of the hole with his head touching the ground first. "Aakh, man,"

Just imagine. What would it feel like to fall from a height of thirty meters? Definitely sick. Injured yes. Although Zhaoling had the science of kanuragan, but he fell in a state of unprepared. So, he fell hard to the bottom of the hole.

The pain in his head made his consciousness slowly disappear. Gradually, his eyes closed without being able to see who the perpetrators of this crime were.

Several adult men including the two senior disciples who were hostile to him immediately approached the trap hole and lowered their heads down, to see the state of Zhaoling. The poor boy lay motionless from his fallen position.

"Haha. Feel you, arrogant boy! You didn't expect it, did there come a day when you were wretched?" said one of them.

"He always talks big and his attitude is very arrogant. He thinks we're gonna admit it as part of our college? Cheih, don't mind me!" reveal the others with a great deal of hate.

They continued to pay attention, but no movement at all from Zhaoling made him worry. "Did he die?" ask one of them, because the boy is not moving.

"Maybe!" the other one lightly.

They glanced while smiling. But, instantly the words of one made them realize. "If the teacher asks, how? What will we answer?"

"Damn." They immediately ran around looking for the rope they used to climb from down there after digging. "Hurry, we'll raise her body back up!" call one and get ready to go down.

However, the senior disciple who hated Zhaoling immediately acted. "This is how, anyway? We laboriously got rid of him, but now he will be saved. Are you stupid enough to help her, huh?" snapped Sihuo.

Everything's silent. Sihuo spoke again. "He's dead or not, it's none of our business anymore! The important thing now is to return in time while bringing our quarry. If we come home late, Master will be suspicious. And then, let's go back!" he continued while walking.

Everyone stared at Sihuo and Cunfang. The two senior disciples had hated the boy named Zhaoling since the first time the boy had come. They could see the extraordinary talent of the boy. That boy will surely defeat their power later.

Hate grows after learning that Zhaoling has mastered one of the secret techniques of the College. He was also given the God Pill as a reward for winning, and it grew even more hatred in their hearts.

"Feel you, you rancid boy! You must not have expected that we would take this kind of retaliation for your treatment the other day. If you die right now, say my regards to the king of hell! Ahaha!"
