Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Joining the Club
Above the green!
That is to say, at least of blue-level potential, probably blue!
A very rare talent!
In these past few days, Fang You had been running around Baijiang City, finding only eleven talents, each just with green potential. And now, a talent of the blue grade ca knocking on his door?
If there were values such as fa and reputation in the ga, “Torchbearer” now would at least be sowhat renowned in Baijiang City—well, only among those in the know.
Ming Deng the Mage not only has a high potential ranking but also a profound foundation.
...
Through his detection skills, he concluded that Ming Deng the Mage had the potential for ‘physical’ power, which was why he could train to such an exaggerated extent.
Significantly stronger than Black Blade’s brother’s original physique!
Muscular and imposing, with skin bronzed by the sun, his muscles coiling like serpents and pythons.
In terms of potential and ability, this Mage was definitely qualified.
As for his temperant, just by virtue that Ming Deng the Mage truly understood Buddhist teachings, he felt there was no problem.
Just a bit more observation.
The first Junior Apostle might soon be in place.
…
On the training field, a group of external staff was undergoing weight training.
Having run less than a full lap, Luo Jianxing was already gasping for breath.
Exhausting to death!
He had been a corporate drone for years, always busy with work with no ti for exercise, nor did he ever consider exercising; physically, he just couldn’t compare to those younger ones still in school!
Luo Jianxing fell to the very back in no ti, having been overtaken by that Mage nad Ming Deng by three laps already.
But that was not a big deal.
One could tell at a glance that this Mage was not to be treated as ordinary. The real competitors were the others, mostly students, each with much more stamina than him.
After chasing for a while, Luo Jianxing frustratingly realized he simply couldn’t catch up.
Even that older guy he had been getting along with was now surging ahead… What a cheat! Here I thought we were the sa, but you sprinted away in secret!
Just him left behind, lagging far behind.
Oh no, there was one other person who ran even more hopelessly than him—the girl with a bit of baby fat, who looked like she was going to collapse after just a few steps.
But if Luo Jianxing rembered correctly, that girl had given him directions when he ca in—she was an internal staff mber.
So, it was still him who was the most hopeless!
_(:з」∠)_!
Panting heavily, whenever he slowed down his pace even slightly, a chill from his spine would shoot straight to the crown of his head.
Forcing him to keep running.
This was too hard! Luo Jianxing had suffered a lot in job hunting, but this was the first ti enduring such physical tornt—he couldn’t bear such unfairness, he…
Of course, he was going to keep running!
Having nothing to do with free room and board and a fixed salary, or that enviable supernatural power!
Nothing more, he just didn’t want to be outdone by those youngsters.
No amount of wind, rain, struggle, or exhaustion could stop him from passing the assessnt and staying on.
He had said so!
But that monk really was outrageous!
…
Unlike Luo Jianxing whose thoughts kept scattering, Xu Tian at this mont only had one thing on his mind, run! Run! Keep running!
Having witnessed Mysterious Evil, realizing the truth lurking beneath the world, he understood how rare this opportunity was.
He wanted the power to protect himself and his sister!
He wanted the power to kill Mysterious Evil!
And he wanted… to follow in that person’s footsteps!
He couldn’t stop!
…
“The most determined person here is this young man,” said Black Blade calmly as he looked outside from the building.
No matter when, Black Blade seed to have no emotional fluctuation, except, when facing Mysterious Evil.
He continued, “This youth’s physique is not strong, but he has consistently been at the forefront. I hardly need to stimulate him with killing intent.”
This was without taking Ming Deng the Mage into account.
But this presented a few problems, “Without a healer, I dare not continue to increase the training intensity.”
So the training wasn’t as intense as Black Blade had anticipated!
However, without the ans to heal, this indeed posed a problem.
Fang You was aware of this as well.
He, Black Blade, and An Jianyou had strong physiques to begin with and their “skill practice,” no matter how exhausting or exaggerated, would not result in any lingering effects.
It was different for these auxiliary mbers; almost all of them were ordinary people.
Before they passed the assessnt, he was not going to give them the Physical Fitness Elixir.
But intensive training easily led to injuries. Of course, these individuals all had exceptional potential; squeezing them a bit more wasn’t a big issue, and moreover, Black Blade had extensive experience in training and a discerning eye to ensure it wouldn’t lead to problems.
When An Jianyou purchased equipnt, he also bought a large amount of supplies, including dicines.
They actually didn’t lack any facility supplies.
Yet, what Black Blade wanted was an imdiate healing thod, which would make it convenient for him to use faster and more intense training thods.
Fang You wanted it too.
He rembered that during the battle at the Ghastly Realm’s gate, Black Blade had been injured and it was his robust physique that had allowed him to heal naturally.
Minor injuries might be okay, but what about serious ones?
Or what about so special types of injuries?
Fang You hoped that next ti he could draw a healing Angel Envoy, or if not, a healing Strange Implent or a blue or purple ability or sothing of the sort would do as well.
“Ming Deng the Mage, I believe he has already qualified. The rest is for you, the instructor, to decide,” he said.
…
That night,
when Luo Jianxing and others were eating in the cafeteria on the first floor, they heard a shocking piece of news.
Soone had passed the assessnt!
Ming Deng the Mage!
Thinking about it, it seed normal; that monk was never a normal human to begin with!
They heard there was an initiation ceremony, but it wasn’t made public to them. Luo Jianxing and the others were both envious and expectant. The monk had been officially accepted in just one day; it surely wouldn’t take them too much longer… right?
…
On the sixth floor,
Ming Deng followed the instructor up here.
The place was very spacious, with no furniture at all, almost just an empty floor.
Suddenly, ripples spread across the wall in front, like waves of water, and a figure erged from within.
Clad in white robes, his face was visible yet forgettable at the sa ti.
But Ming Deng would never forget this figure, for it was deeply etched in his mind.
It was that one!
The Fire Holder who commanded the heavenly thunder, who destroyed three terrible giants in an instant, saving Baijiang City!
The Fire Holder!
To think, to think he had co in person.
Even Ming Deng, with his composure, was stirred, sowhat excited.
“Fire Holder has no elaborate initiation ceremonies, I just want to tell you one thing.”
“This is a path shrouded in Darkness, where no end is in sight. We are not ones surrounded by flowers; where there is no light, we must beco the light; where there is no fire, we must beco the fire.”
“We are but lonely pioneers, bearers of fire in the black night, guardians in the Lightless void.”
“This is a road of no return; once you step onto this path, you will have no chance for regret.”
“Now, you have one last choice to make.”
“Are you willing to beco the light of hope, the fire of conviction for this world, for humanity, to stand against the endless Darkness, day and night, until death do us part.”
“Tell , your choice.”
There was no hesitation in Ming Deng the Mage; his gaze was firm and fervent.
He stepped forward and shouted resolutely,
“I am willing!”
