บท 81: Chapter 81:You Have A Strong Will
The next day,
Yang Zhai opened his eyes and looked around. What he saw was an empty wooden room. He looked around and examined. He had just woken up from his sleep. Even though he had pretended to be unconscious, he still needed to sleep. Therefore, when he saw that everything was alright, he fell asleep to give a rest to his mind. Right now, he was lying on a wooden bed.
After a while, a man walked in, he was Ju Jingyi. When he saw that Yang Zhai was awake, he said,
"So, you are finally awake. Congratulations, you have passed the test, here is the emblem." Ju Jingyi handed a half-burned emblem to Yang Zhai.
"Huh, I passed. What about my teammates? Where are they?" Yang Zhai took the emblem and looked at Ju Jingyi before asking.
Yang Zhai knew about all these things. He knew that he would pass the test as long as he had the emblem with him: therefore, he was not worried about not passing the test at all.
"Sigh, you are still asking about them, even after what happened to you. You have a nice heart. We could not save them, their bodies were also burned in the fire. But, this is the rule of this world, if you're not strong enough, then you will be hunted by this world. You should get used to it and should not think about them anymore: otherwise, you will have to endure more pain than this." Ju Jingyi tried to cheer up Yang Zhai.
If he knew that it was Yang Zhai himself who killed his teammates, then Ju Jingyi would surely spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"I should have saved them, but I ran away. I tried to save them; however, I was weak and could not protect them. I had no choice but to run to call for help if I wanted to save them. I wish I had not run." Yang Zhai greeted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"You should forget about them and endeavor to move forward. This is the cultivation world. You need to get used to it, there will be more deaths like this in the future." A burly man with a bald head walked into the room and said. It was Elder Wang.
"Elder Wang, greeting, this disciple greets you." Yang Zhai pretended to get up, but could not.
"You don't need to get up and can stay where you are. And congratulations on passing the test. Also, tell me, what happened? How did the forest fire start?" Elder Wang came to Yang Zhai's side and queried.
"I don't know, I only remember that we had caught the Black Rabbit with difficulty and were tired. After killing the Black Rabbit and obtaining the emblem, we decided to rest. But because we were tired, I went to search for the water and when I came back, I saw that my teammates were burning in fire." Yang Zhai thought for a moment before saying. He had to make everything seem natural, that's why he had to adjust his expressions and temperament as well.
"Huh, that's all? There is nothing else that you remember?" Elder Wang looked at Yang Zhai and asked again.
"Huh, yes, I remember something. When I came back after getting some water, I saw two shadows running into the forest. But because my teammates were burning in fire, I didn't concentrate on the shadow and tried to help my teammates. However, in the process, I was caught in the fire as well. I had no choice but to run away and look for help. Because my body was burning as well, I used a rank 1 water technique on myself to extinguish the fire." Yang Zhai acted as if he suddenly remembered something and said. He also told the story that he had thought of telling to make a reason for the forest fire to save himself from being accused.
Elder Wang's expression turned serious after hearing Yang Zhai. Two shadows meant that someone had started the forest fire on purpose.
But, who? Who did the shadows belong to? And then this kid jumped into the fire to save his teammates without thinking for himself. Is he crazy, or is he lying to me? No, it doesn't seem to me that he is lying. After all, he is completely burned, and he was also asking about his teammates even after his condition. This kid is really different from what he looks from the outside. Even though he is strict with his classmates, he really cares for them: these were elder Wang's thoughts.
Yang Zhai, on the other hand, was calm inside. He had no choice but to kill Chin Mae and the other boy. If he had not killed the boy, then the boy would have informed the elders about Chin Mae's advancement. And as Yang Zhai had guaranteed for Chin Mae, he would not have been spared and would have been punished to be a prisoner for at least ten years.
Even though Chin Mae would have tried to hide the fact that Yang Zhai had killed the boy to save himself as well, Yang Zhai did not take the chance. After all, Chin Mae was still a kid, if he was pressured, then Yang Zhai was sure that Chin Mae would reveal everything. Even if he did not reveal anything, he would have to use his Essence Water during the next rounds, and when he does use his Essence Water in front of the others, Chin Mae's advancement would surely be revealed to the others.
Therefore, Yang Zhai had to kill Chin Mae with the boy as well.
Yang Zhai had to be careful at every step. After all, some people in the Clan were finding a chance to get rid of him as the class leader. Thus, even a little mistake from him could result in dire consequences. He had to walk every step very carefully. Therefore, burning himself was an impressive move by him.
"You rest for today. After all, today is the final day of the first round. You need to be prepared for the second round, thus, get yourself in peak condition." Elder Wang said this and turned around to leave.
"Thanks, elder." Yang Zhai thanked him.
"Your body has already been healed. You are in perfect condition again. You're just tired mentally because of what happened yesterday. And also because you did not clean the toll on your body, which was accumulated because of using techniques, your body is a little out of strength and was affected too much. But, don't worry, I have already cleaned the adverse effects left on your body because of the techniques." After the elder Wang left the room, Ju Jingyi said to Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai's body was healed, and he was looking fine. His skin was also completely healed. His face could be seen clearly. Yang Zhai also felt that he was no longer feeling any pain.
"Thanks, brother." Yang Zhai thanked Ju Jingyi.
"No worries, it is my duty as a healing cultivator. But you know what, your heart is really soft. You are more concerned about your friends, even after what you experienced. Your will is also stronger. If it was someone else in your situation, then I am certain that they would have already been traumatized by what happened, especially, after the excruciating pain, that is impossible for even adults to endure." Ju Jingyi smiled and said. He was amazed by Yang Zhai's endurance toward the pain. Only a strong-willed person could endure this much pain.
