The Adventures Of The Young Master

In the end, Teacher Fairy didn't attack. There was a dread feeling creeping inside her that seemed to warn about what she's about to do. She always believed her gutfeeling so she refrained from taking action.

Seeing that the other party wasn't attacking, Jin Rou chuckled but didn't taunt the fairy again. Instead, he walked past the chariot and entered the ruins.

"Hey, wait! This place is not for anyone!" Teacher Fairy shouted, "If you don't believe me, you can see the scattered bones here for yourself. They are the ones who died after trespassing this place. No one is allowed to enter the ruins or else the grand formation there is enough to kill even Imperial Lords!"

The fairy wasn't bluffing. According to the Headmaster of the academy, this place had a terrifying killing formation that once triggered, it would kill everyone who was present there. It wouldn't stop unless it had killed all trespassers.

It was created by three Dao Monarchs granting a certain person's request. Thus, the effect of the formation was truly terrifying that even monarchs had to tread carefully or else they might die. Of course, no monarch had yet to dare to enter the place as they were aware of what kind of place this was.

Despite the warning, Jin Rou still entered the ruins without hesitation as if he didn't hear the other party's words.

And the expected activation of the grand killing formation didn't actually happen which made the fairy flabbergasted and confused. What was happening? According to the official records, the formation was supposed to be activated upon entrance of a trespasser. However, Jin Rou already entered yet he was still safe despite that. What kind of sorcery was this? Or perhaps, the formation was weakened after so many years?

Teacher Fairy looked at the distant back of a mortal named Jin Rou and got into a realization which terrified her. However, she immediately removed this notion as it was barely possible to be.

Jin Rou was strolling the old ruins of the dormitory as plethora of memories appeared one after another. This was perhaps one of Han Li's good memories that made him feel at ease.

Usually, Han Li was serious as he took care of things needed to be settled. He also always done work to the utmost perfection. Planning and scheming for trillions of years, Han Li no longer felt any joy or sadness. However, during his trip in the academy, the dead emotions were revived again and he felt whole as a person.

His path was filled with rivers of blood and bones of his enemies. It was natural as he took this arduous path. Nevertheless, he didn't regret anything. Even an ounce. He chose to go against the Heavens and if he had a chance, he'd always try to break it.

Compared to Han Li's kill count, Jin Rou could only wryly smile as a response. It was understandable too since Han Li had lived for so long now when Jin Rou was still young.

According to Han Li's memories, there was a treasure he had hidden here in case he needed it when he returned here. And Jin Rou was planning to take it in preparation to attack the Heavens, the Ninth Challenge.

Recalling the memories of Han Li's First to Eighth Challenge, Jin Rou knew that he couldn't break it unless he prepared more. He would fight against a god, on par with the Creator. Thus, he couldn't afford to be careless here. After all, if he failed, he'd probably die along with Han Li.

"This one is far the most insane." Jin Rou talked to himself why cursing the Creator in a low tone. He could die here with one wrong move and he couldn't do anything about it. That existence must be adamant in ridding of him.

However, if you think about it clearly, it was reasonable. After all, Jin Rou wanted a power that could challenge a god. So naturally, he needed to get it himself. It was already generous on the Creator's part that it had given a sufficient clue about of what to do.

An hour passed, then three and four hours went by in a blink of an eye. Jin Rou was still inside the ruins so Goldenchild was getting worried. He should be happy since if Jin Rou died inside, he'd be freed and went back to his normal life. However for some reason, he couldn't feel that way as if there was a lump in his throat.

Teacher Fairy was also there standing anxiously but her face didn't reveal it. She looked calm and serene. She had already contacted the headmaster regarding this matter and he should be on his way now.

Indeed, after a few minutes, a figure appeared by the side of the fairy. He was a middle-aged man with white long hair wearing a black robe with golden features by the shoulders. He looked dignified and grand as well when he looked at Teacher Fairy and said, "Where is the boy?"

Upon receiving the report of the fairy, Headmaster Lanx had immediately set out to reach this place. He had to attend to several troubles but he postponed it for the sake of this issue. After all, a mortal had just entered the old dormitory ruins without getting killed. Of course, the upper echelons of the academy would be alerted and the headmaster chose to go himself to see with his own eyes.

"He's still inside, Headmaster Lanx." Teacher Fairy spoke, "He had been there for several hours now and I don't see any signs of the formation being activated."

"Indeed, that's very strange." Headmaster Lanx creased his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what's inside the ruins, a monarch had once told him that the certain person had left a treasure here. No one knew what's the treasure and why the certain person left it there but they didn't dare to pry deeper.

Upon contemplating for a while, the headmaster said, "Let's wait until he gets out of that place. It isn't too late to ask questions by then."

Teacher Fairy nodded in approval when she heard this.
