'Good Bye.'
Zhao Luo had a saddened look on his face as he left the trainee hall while leaving a last fleeting farewell lingering in the air of trainee hall.
At the exit of the trainee hall.
'5 days.'
'A week maybe.'
Zhao Luo thought of his time in the trainee hall as he left it.
He had to count the time in the Fu Zi World too. But in reality, the time he had spent in that World was more than ten times less than the time that had passed in reality.
He was already leaving for the outer hall in a week.
"If only I can advance to the inner hall in a week too. That would be crazy."
Leaving his gloomy feelings aside, Zhao Luo hoped for better improvement in the future.
As he stood at the gates of the trainee hall, Zhao Luo shook his head.
He wasn't trying to get rid of the flies around his head, instead, he was looking for the way to the outer hall, which was his next destination.
"The outer hall should be there."
Zhao Luo looked at the right road while standing outside the trainee hall.
'Go right then right again, that is where all the other palaces and halls are."
Zhao Luo remembered the time when he had arrived at the TPC building and looked at the Sect from that position.
"The trainee hall was the first palace. Then the one behind it must be the outer hall."
Zhao Luo relying on his memory starting heading towards the direction in his mind.
After a while of walking, he had passed the trainee hall.
Unsurprisingly, the outer hall was indeed behind the big trainee hall.
"It's even bigger than the trainee hall."
Zhao Luo mumbled as he looked at the outer hall in front of him.
A big signboard was right above the gates of the gates.
"OUTER HALL"
Zhao Luo read the sign and then at the outer hall building.
The outer hall looked humongous when compared to the previous hall Zhao Luo was in.
"Here we go."
Zhao Luo who was standing outside the gates of the outer hall, pushed opened the gates.
He felt a little nervous as memories of him entering the trainee hall flashed in his mind.
("The trashes are here", Mite said.)
Zhao Luo remembered his first encounter with the Senior Mite while the gates of the outer hall opened.
'How many people will be there?'
Zhao Luo thought as he stepped inside as he passed through the building gates.
"Stop."
A high voice entered his ears.
'Tap.'
"A woman."
Zhao Luo looked around as the voice that had entered his ear sounded like a young maiden was talking.
"Here."
The sound entered his ears again but this time, Zhao Luo knew where the sound was coming from.
After passing the gates, Zhao Luo followed the sound of the voice and reached a well-lit place.
"State your business."
The voice came from behind him.
Zhao Luo turned around and was shocked to see a bald man standing there.
"I am here to take the test. I want to advance to an outer disciple", Zhao Luo told the baldy as his black badge shine under the light of the place they were in.
Zhao Luo looked at the bald guy in front of him.
'What is the?'
Zhao Luo wondered as he inspected him.
The bald guy had a band of beads around his arm, just like a monk except his robe was purple showing that he was a disciple.
Zhao Luo looked at the chest area of his robe but couldn't find a badge on the baldy.
The most shocking thing was, "what is up with his voice?"
Zhao Luo mumbled.
"So you are here to take that test."
The baldy said as he got close to Zhao Luo.
'Quite handsome.'
The baldy thought as a mysterious smile emerged on his face.
'Creepy.'
Zhao Luo thought as he looked at the bald guy's smile suddenly out of nowhere.
"Come with me."
The baldy told Zhao Luo in his enchanting voice.
Zhao Luo followed the guy.
"You can just call me Senior Cutie."
The baldy told Zhao Luo without looking at him.
"More like Senior baldy."
Zhao Luo said with a low voice with a dejected look on his face.
"Did you say something?"
Senior Cutie turned around at looked at Zhao Luo with one of his eyes brows arched upwards.
"I didn't."
Zhao Luo replied with a serious face without even glancing at Senior cutie.
Senior Cutie started walking again as Zhao Luo also picked up his pace.
"Hmmm. Well, you are so handsome *WINK* so there is no easy to doubt you."
Zhao Luo felt even sick as the baldy had winked at him.
"Doubt me. As if I..."
"Your hair is so nice. So shiny."
Senior cutie suddenly interrupted Zhao Luo while praising him.
'My hair...'
Zhao Luo thought as he could see his silver hair coming in his sight whenever he would walk and they were indeed a nice view for him.
"Your hair looks nice too."
Zhao Luo said unconsciously.
To Zhao Luo, who wasn't even focused on Senior Cutie, could only hear someone with a high-pitched voice praising his hairs.
'Swoosh.'
Senior Cutie turned his head at such an insane speed that his bald curves were cutting through the air itself leaving behind a slicing sound.
'Twitch.'
Zhao Luo felt his skin covering for a second as Senior Cutie looked at him with his squinted eyes.
Thud!
Zhao Luo jumped backward and raised his arms with his palms facing the senior.
"Hahaha."
Seeing Zhao Luo taking his defensive position, the baldy started laughing loudly and continued to walk ahead.
Zhao Luo once again followed him but kept a safe distance between them.
'He is dangerous.'
Zhao Luo was looking sharply at the fake monk walking ahead of him.
Baldy and Zhao Luo had arrived at a door.
Baldy opened the door and entered a big hall.
"We are here."
Senior Cutie said as he stopped in front of a big pillar that had around a thick round plate attached to it.
"This is where my test will be."
Zhao Luo asked with a curious look in his eyes.
"Yes, the test is simple. Since you are already here, that means you were deemed worthy. Now you just have to hit this."
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo as he pointed his hands towards the round plate.
'I have to hit it.'
Zhao Luo shook his shoulders as he took his steps towards the pillar.
"Before you try it, there is one simple rule while you have only a single try."
"You have to get a score which is more tha 1000."
"If your score is less than 1000 or even of its 1000, you will be returning to the trainee hall."
Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo with an evil smile on his face.
Zhao Luo ignored the expression on the face of baldy as he walked past him and stood before the pillar.
'More than 1000.'
Zhao Luo could see his reflection on the round plate that was in front of him.
'Tap, Tap.'
Zhao Luo stepped back while looking at the plate.
'Huff.'
Zhao Luo took a deep breath and followed it by taking a clear posture.
He took a step forward with his right leg while bending the knee of his left leg.
The power of a punch came from the support the punching arm could get from the posture of the person who is throwing his fist.
Zhao Luo knew this fact better than anyone. He who had readied himself after facing his apparitions countless times in each training session didn't think of this situation as a big deal.
'I just have to throw my best punch.'
Zhao Luo thought as he pulled his right arm back and tightened his fist.
"Haaa."
Zhao Luo exhaled the breath as his right fist flew towards the round thick plate with an unseen speed.
BANG!
Zhao Luo's punch collided with the plate while the collision left a mind trembling sound.
Baldy who was standing at the other side was shocked and took a step back.
Numbers started appearing on the top of the pillar.
Zhao Luo looked upwards while the baldy, senior cutie also tilted his shaved head to see Zhao Luo's score.
"500, 550, 600...."
"1000"
"1100, 1200...1900...."
The number kept on increasing without showing any signs of stopping
Zhao Luo smiled as he had already lasses the requirement while senior cutie didn't know what to say.
"I even raised the score requirement to 1000 when it was supposed to be 500 but he still... This monster", Senior Cutie said while looking at the score which kept on increasing showing that his scheme had failed.
"2000"
"2500"
"3000"
"4000"
"5000"
"6000"
"7000"
"8000"
"9000"
"9069"
The score finally stopped as the result was visible to both Zhao Luo and Senior Cutie.
"I-its over 9-9000"
Senior Cutie shouted while stuttering. It was hard for him to believe that a guy who was a trainee could get such a high score.
'A real monster is here.'
Baldy was losing his remaining hairs too as he had started to freak out.
"Hehehe."
Zhao Luo's beautiful whistling laugh echoed in the hall.
