" It's their fault for not knowing how their imprisoning devices were being used," Zhu Chang let out, looking at the unconscious Ru Li.
"After that point, he can talk to my father. It's their matter from that point." He shook his head before leaving with the others.
...
Long Chen was sitting in room number three in the training tower. It had already been five hours, and Gu Chen had finished describing the scriptures. All that was left was for Long Chen to do so self comprehension from the point.
Gu Chen stood up and started stretching his arms. There were still two hours left before it was their ti to leave. He wondered if Long Chen could even gain the lightest of comprehension from it in these two hours.
The ti kept trickling away. For Gu Chen, ti was passing too slowly since he wasn't the one who was cultivating. As for Long Chen, he didn't even know about the ti as he was in a different world of his own at the mont.
He was still looking at the Buddha Statue that was ford by the scriptures, trying to gain an understanding of the soul.
He had a feeling that he was trying to comprehend sothing which was too close yet too far. One mont he felt like he was on the crisp of understanding, and the next mont, he felt like he was too far from the comprehension.
Beep! Beep!
"Huh?" He was lost in himself when he heard a beeping sound.
He slowly opened his eyes, wondering what the sound was.
"You're up. Did you learn sothing?" Gu Chen asked as soon as Long Chen opened his eyes.
Long Chen shook his head in disappointnt.
"Well, that was a waste," Gu Chen muttered, sighing. "It's fine. You're going to stay in this prison all your life. You have a long ti to comprehend. Let's leave before we're charged twice. I already have low credits."
"Ah, so it's the alarm you were talking about," Long Chen muttered, standing up. He followed Gu Chen to leave, however just as he was about to take one step out of the room; he felt sothing.
He didn't know why, but there was sothing that wanted him to stay here. His steps started getting heavy. Moreover, he also started feeling like he was missing sothing here.
He scratched the back of his head as he looked around.
"What happened?" Gu Chen asked, frowning.
"Nothing." He forced himself to leave this place, deciding to co here again tomorrow, no matter what happened. He wasn't going to stop until he comprehended the skill.
However, he needed credits for that which he had none of. So he also decided to go to the Dark Tower to take part in the trial and see if he could succeed.
Moreover, no matter what score he received, he was also going to get so credit as long as he wasn't awfully bad. He could use those credits to co here again.
He and Gu Chen left the Training Tower.
Long Chen was able to see that the prisoners had started going back by now. It was the end of the day. That was also why Gu Chen set only seven hours so they could be out on ti.
"Alright, go on now. Get back to the cell. And if possible, try to think about the Buddha's Gaze tonight. Co to tomorrow and tell your growth," Gu Chen said.
"Where can I find you?" Long Chen asked.
"The sa place you found today," Gu Chen replied as he started walking away. "Oh right, don't forget what I said. Be vary of your little friend. I'm mostly sure that he's what I said he was!"
'Ah, that's right. He did say that Zia Uzhi was a Heavenly Warrior in disguise. Then again, it did make sense. He was strong, and he hid his strength. He talked about dreaming of being promoted, but he didn't even try to be?'
Long Chen kept thinking as he walked back.
'Moreover, he was so helpful to . All prisoners slept, keeping their rooms silent. That guy, on the other hand, was the only one who was able to hear yelling last night.'
'Could it be that he was a Heavenly Warrior who is pretending to be a prisoner to test my story if I was actually sent here in an accident or not? That could be a reason why a Heavenly Warrior would be sticking so close to .'
'But then again, when he took to the Heavenly Warrior, that guy actually talked to Zia Uzhi as if he was a prisoner. Unless they had already planned this, it didn't make sense.'
'If he's actually a Heavenly Warrior, I can't let him know that I'm planning an escape! I need to be careful. At the sa ti, I must try to use him to convince other Heavenly Prisoners that I'm innocent!"
"There you are. I was waiting for you. So, how did it go? Did you learn his skill?" A hand landed on Long Chen's shoulder.
Long Chen turned to find Zia Uzhi behind him.
"Not yet. I think it'll take so ti. It's much harder to learn it than I thought," Long Chen answered, sighing.
"Is that so?" Zia Uzhi muttered. "Don't give up. You'll probably learn it soon."
He and Long Chen went back to the cell. "Where is your cell? Let escort you there today."
"It's alright. You don't have to. It's nearby. You can go in first."
"It's no big deal. I also want to see which cell is yours, so I don't have to look everywhere to find you," Long Chen replied.
At the start, he had only asked casually, but the denial of Zia Uzhi made him suspicious. Did this guy even have a cell?
"Fine. If you insist that much. Co."
"This is my cell." Zia Uzhi pushed the bars open and entered the cell, which closed. "See you tomorrow."
"You too," Long Chen replied before he walked back to his own cell. His cell closed as well.
He sat in the other end of the cell and closed the light, and turned off the sound before entering ditation to try to learn the Buddha's Gaze again.
He was still suspicious of Zia Uzhi, but he decided to keep that to the back of his head and focus only on the skill that he wanted to learn.
At the sa ti, sothing strange was happening in the Training Tower. Room number three was completely dark as it wasn't occupied.. However, a mysterious light started shining inside the room out of nowhere.
