Chapter 235 - One Month In The Endless Forest?

Jiu Shen strode forward with a calm expression. He was checking the progress of all the youths through his spiritual perception. With his improved mental ability, he was able to clearly see the improvements of everyone after merely taking a single glance at them.

’Yang Zenke is still leading all of them in terms of strength increase. Even Han Sen did not improve as much as he did. Although I have to acknowledge that none of them slacked during their training. Can Ye and Hu Xiandao must have been strict on them, but that is not a problem.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.

Hm?

Hu Xiandao was the first one who noticed the arrival of Jiu Shen. He stared at Jiu Shen with a look of surprise.

"Lord Jiu Shen! What brings you here?" He asked as he walked towards Jiu Shen with a smile.

Looking at his frightening smile, Jiu Shen remained calm.

"Don’t mind me. Just continue with that you are doing." He replied indifferently.

"Master!" Can Ye called out excitedly.

Jiu Shen ignored him and stared at the youths with a penetrating gaze. "Not bad, but you can do more than just this. The Body Transforming Dan that I gave you changed your body constitution and also improved your talents. With its great efficacy, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the lot of you possess the most fearsome talent in all of the Profound Dragon Continent. Today, I will ask Hu Xiandao to bring all of you to the Endless Forest! All of you will stay there for a month in pairs! No food, no resources, nothing! You can only bring your weapons with you and as for your food and other resources, you must get them inside the Endless Forest!" Jiu Shen uttered coldly.

Hu Xiandao and Can Ye who were listening to the sidelines gape in shock when they heard his words. They were familiar with the Endless Forest. It was the home of countless terrifying savage beasts who prey on anything weaker than them. It was also a land of death that was rarely explored by even the most experienced mercenaries and hunters, so the both of them were beyond surprised at Jiu Shen’s words.

"Lord Jiu Shen..." Hu Xiandao called out, but when he saw the icy expression on Jiu Shen’s face, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Hu Xiandao, I did not teach them my sword techniques just to become young elites. Everything was for them to become my swords and I don’t want to use a dull blade, so I have to make sure that they are always at their sharpest..." Jiu Shen said, his golden eyes shone with a cold flicker.

Hu Xiandao who was at the receiving end of this cold gaze felt his spine tingle in dread, but he was also confused as to why Jiu Shen wanted to train so many experts. He was the strongest person that he met and he should have no equal in the whole of Nuar, so why was Jiu Shen so adamant in training them? He did not even skimp on those precious resources just to make everyone’s progress a lot faster.

Hu Xiandao had many questions lingering in his mind, but he did not dare ask Jiu Shen especially after seeing that cold pair of golden eyes.

"I understand, Lord Jiu Shen. I will bring them to the Endless Forest as you command." He replied with his head down.

Can Ye did not dare meet his master’s gaze, so he just silently stared at the empty air while pondering in his heart. ’As far as I can remember, master said that he came from a place called as ’Primordial God Realm’. According to him, talented individuals and strong experts are numerous in that place. From master’s tone, he seemed to be preparing for something. Does he have an enemy from that place?’ He thought.

"Good. Xiandao, go back to the store and tell Lu Sulan to have a few elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect go with you in monitoring the safety of these kids. You can also ask her if she wants to bring some of her disciples to train inside the Endless Forest. Just make sure that none of these youths die within that place." Jiu Shen commanded while looking at the tall barbarian.

"Yes, Lord Jiu Shen. I’ll go and inform them immediately." Hu Xiandao bowed his head as he replied.

Jiu Shen waved his right hand and gestured for him to leave. He then stared at his disciple who was still looking at the empty air like an idiot.

"Can Ye." Jiu Shen called him which instantly made Can Ye recover from his deep thinking.

He stared at his master and waited for him to speak.

"Within 3 days, you will go to the imperial palace to spectate the execution of Xue Tong on my behalf. Also, I have to remind you that you must not involve yourself with the noble families. I don’t want my people to be part of their political struggles." Jiu Shen said.

Can Ye nodded his head at his master. "Yes, master. I will never involve myself with those shitty nobles. I have hated them since I started to become a mercenary. Although not all of them have illegal activities, most of them do, so I won’t risk myself with them, but a little bit of socializing is not bad, right?" He asked.

Jiu Shen ignored him and shifted his gaze to the resting youths.

Seeing his master’s lack of response, Can Ye shrugged his shoulders. "I just want to discuss life with those fair-skinned noblewomen. Too bad..." He mumbled softly.

Jiu Shen heard him, but he chose to disregard his disciple’s bullshit.

"After a month in the Endless Forest, all of you must come back alive, so you must protect your partners at all costs. Remember, you are my swords and this won’t be the hardest training that you will experience since this is just a preparation for something bigger." Jiu Shen said in a mysterious tone.
