Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 100: Start of the Trial

“By the way, Elder Jing, who is Senior Zhong Guowei?” Yang Wei turned around and asked her.

Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh and shook her head. “It’s not important right now to know who Senior Zhong Guowei is but the upcoming trial that is ahead of us.”

“The trial is a gruesome process where we are forced to fight multiple magical beasts without rest. Worse, our cultivation base is going to be restricted to be two stages below the magical beasts that spawned on us.”

Elder Jing added with a bit of an irritated tone.

Yang Wei nodded and kept quiet as he could sense her frustration, most likely knowing that Elder Jing may have some bad memories in this trial.

“Seems like this little lass has done this trial before…” Senior Zhong Guowei’s voice suddenly resounded in the room, shocking Yang Wei as he believed he was gone already.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing somehow has a bad omen about Senior Zhong Guowei’s words.

‘He wouldn’t torture us… right?’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly in nervousness.

Alas, her worst nightmare occurred when Senior Zhong Guowei spoke again, sending a chill down on Elder Jing’s bone.

“Given the vast experience of this lass, I’ve decided to be generous and increase the difficulty by tens fold.” Senior Zhong Guowei laughed heartily as the room started changing its environment.

From a flatland into one filled with mountains and forests, Elder Jing could only smile bitterly at this change.

However, her plight isn’t over yet because Senior Zhong Guowei has another shocking news for them.

“For the magical beasts, they shall be at least 5 stages higher than your cultivation base so work hard to pass my trial. Also, I’m merely a spirit of my original body so there’s no point in cursing me. Hahaha”

Afterward, the voice slowly faded out, leaving an irritated Elder Jing alone with Yang Wei.

Yang Wei swallowed nervously as he wanted to pretend to be invisible. With Elder Jing being this enraged because of a senior, he’s afraid of getting implicated.

Slowly but surely, Yang Wei continued to take a tiny step back from avoiding Elder Jing’s eyesight to spot him.

“Yang Wei, where do you think you’re going?” Elder Jing asked in a gentle tone as she turned around and gave a blissful smile.

However, Yang Wei felt nothing but pain at her current attitude. ‘It’s over… Senior Zhong Guowei has screwed me over with his wording.’

Yang Wei was not foolish enough to believe Elder Jing would be in a happy mood after what happened and her acting this cheerfully is scaring Yang Wei.

“N-Nowhere Elder Jing, I-I was just trying to scout the area to prepare ourselves in case of an ambush,” Yang Wei stuttered, hoping Elder Jing would just let him live.

Elder Jing merely smiled as she waved her hand to signal Yang Wei to go over to her.

“In that case, come over here so we can scout together. After all, two people doing a task is better than one.” Elder Jing said.

Yang Wei shook his head in denial and explained, “That might be true but we have to be efficient in our current situation so it’s best that we split up to scout.”

There was no way Yang Wei would walk over when he could feel a murderous aura looming over Elder Jing.

He doesn’t have nine lives to spare and even if he does, he would not lose a life without any purpose.

“Yang Wei, I give you three seconds to come over here otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next,” Elder Jing narrowed her eyes as she glared at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei stumbled slightly before showing a bitter smile. ‘This is unfair… I’m clearly innocent yet I have to bear the full blame.’

Yang Wei complained inwardly as he slowly walked over to Elder Jing.

“W-What do you need from me, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked.

“Nothing much, I just feel that our cultivation base would soon be restricted so I wanted to practice some of my punching techniques first,” Elder Jing curved her lips upward, frightening Yang Wei completely.

“Elder Jing, I don’t think we need to practice because your techniques are unparalleled.” Yang Wei quickly said and continued.

“Elder Jing is a peerless cultivator so what can a mere restriction do to you.”

Elder Jing chuckled softly and stared at Yang Wei. “Why are you complimenting me like that? It’s not like I’m practicing my punching techniques on you.”

Yang Wei held a disbelief expression as he was pretty sure Elder Jing was looking at him as a punching bag to vent her frustration.

‘C-Could it be that I’m overthinking things?’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he looked at Elder Jing.

“Then why did you want me to go next to you, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked.

“Hmph, your brain must have been flying away if you were asking this kind of dumb question. The trial is going to start and that means numerous magical beasts are going to spawn and we must kill them in a time limit.”

Elder Jing knocked on Yang Wei’s head lightly as she explained the trial rules for him.

Since Senior Zhong Guowei knew that Elder Jing was doing the trial a second time so he didn’t bother explaining further and allowed her to do as she pleases.

“The trial begins when we step on the array in the center there,” Elder Jing said and pointed in a direction.

Yang Wei followed the point and saw a small circle array in the center which should be the mechanism to start the trial.

“How long is the trial going to last?” Yang Wei asked softly.

“The trials are usually around 30 minutes or so but considering the difficulty has increased, I wouldn’t know any longer. However, there will be a timer in the sky to tell us how much time we have left.” Elder Jing explained and raised her sleeves up.

Afterward, she proceeds to walk toward the array to start the trial.
