Approximately 5 minutes after the students were granted their rest period, Jin Hennessy hopped up from the ground and reached for his lanky bamboo stick. “It’s time to restart your training!”Jin Hennessy slammed the bamboo on the ground. The impact roused some frightened dust particles that started the trio who were literally dozing off while leaning against each other. Very quickly they were spurred awake.“We’re up! We’re up!” Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun had no other choice but to wipe the sleep from their eyes and get back to training.“Stop dawdling around brats! Pick up those jugs and start climbing! I’ll give you 3 seconds! One, two…”The haggard trio hurriedly picked up their respective containers and motioned their butts towards the first layer of steps.“Good, now start climbing!”As the students set foot on the second step, Jin Hennessy hit their legs roughly with his thin bamboo stick. “Too slow! Too damn slow!”“This would be a lot easier if you weren’t hitting us old m
Hours after midday, Sugar Bun came back with Xuan Li tagging at his rear. They discovered Dam Son nearby the tent playing with an amiable monkey. “Isn’t that the Dark-Human messing around with a monkey? He talked so big I thought he would attempt climbing the mountain without us.” “I’m going over there to find out.” Sugar Bun ran ahead towards Dam Son. “Hey, we’re back and we’re ready to climb again.” “Oh?” Dam Son looked towards Sugar Bun and glanced at Xuan Li at the rear. “What about him?” “He’s also ready to climb again. So what have you been doing all this time Dam Son? Were you just playing around with that monkey on your shoulder while waiting for our return?” “Yes, I was waiting for the two of you so that we can continue our training. Remember what Master Jin said? Only when all of us reach the top will our training be complete.” “But how will he know if we complete the training when he isn’t here? He didn’t stop by when we were away did he?” Xuan Li asked curiously. “No
With the evening shadows already cast over the skies, Raixom Academy lit up with resplendent nightly decorations. Around the base of Jin Hennessy’s mountains were multiple illuminated flies moving about the shadows. “Ouch, that hurts.” Sugar Bun felt the back of his head for bruises as he aided himself from the ground. “Yep, I feel a swelling.” “Damn that old bastard.” Xuan Li’s ankles suffered livid bruising. The pain made it slightly harder for him to stand up. “Did he have to blast me away too?” Dam Son reached for his sapphire suitcase that was close by and slowly rise to his feet. Just as the students found their footing, Jin Hennessy landed in front of them with his long bamboo stick in hand. After calling out the jugs filled with rocks and water, he said. “This time around, your breaks between climbing will be shortened to 3 minutes per hour. I know you are not pleased but this is your punishment. I will also add another factor to your training.” Jin Hennessy motioned tow
Two weeks later, Dam Son, Xuan Li along with Sugar Bun finally completed their mountain climbing training. At the crack of dawn, they set foot on the 70,000th step with their jugs still intact. To show how much energy they had exhausted, the veins that ran across the contours of their muscles were extremely defined.It took them 2 weeks to complete their training due to the repetitious failures they made. On many occasions, all 3 of them had to start over from the bottom. At first, Xuan Li was in the lead, but he slipped up at the 3,000th step which caused him to start all over. Dam Son restarted a lot too because of Sugar Bun who kept tripping whenever he jumped over a bamboo obstacle.The 3 minutes break they received per hour wasn’t enough to regain any stamina at all. Thus, whenever they took a breather and recommenced their climb, they would often take a minute just to hop onto the other step in succession.Jin Hennessy knew he was being too hard on his disciples, hence he modifi
A splendiferous rounded complex suspended several meters above ground attracted the majority of young, enthusiastic Word Masters to compete against each other in fierce cultural battles. Many Barrier Scripts were floating around this ethereal expanse to keep its borders in check.The Page Coliseum was producing a boisterous atmosphere replete with energetic individuals. Currently, many battles were taking place across the separate arenas designated for their specific divisions and classes.The Page Coliseum consisted of numerous divisions according to the 6 major institutes in Raixom Academy. There were arenas where these institutes could compete against each other within the required terms or they could just compete locally against individuals from the same institute.The Page Coliseum had many-many fields of battle and preferences to choose from. Dam Son and his companions decided to partake in team battles restricted only to students from Caromine Institute. As they entered, they w
“How can those 3 idiots be so strong without the aid of their Guides?” Lonely Pussycat couldn’t fully fathom the raw physical prowess of the Drunken Brats, however, not once did she think that she could lose. “They only caught us by surprise that’s all.” Admitted Lioon Belt boastfully. “That fat turtle is mine. I will repay him for making me look bad earlier by retreating.” “Leave that handsome one to me.” Zukin Bird smirked at Xuan Li. “I’m going to tear his smooth beautiful skin apart.” “Then that leaves me with the Dark-Human. He doesn’t amount to much.” This was Lonely Pussycat’s deduction after observing the Drunken Brats' combat prowess. “They look like they are ready to tear us to pieces.” Stated Sugar Bun. “My strength might have increased drastically, but I’m certain it won’t be enough to defeat them now that they are going to take us seriously.” “Sugar Bun is right.” Xuan Li agreed while glancing at Dam Son. “Dark-Human, when are you going to release that thing, is it no

The Drunken Brats were celebrating their 6th victory inside the Page Coliseum’s refreshment area. They became the main topic of Battle Arena 1. Almost everyone at their cultivation level spoke about their triumphant victories.Downing a bottle of water, Dam Son said to his teammates. “Though we won that last battle, we almost lost nearing the end. That Demi-Human with the strange hound on his back really got me scared for a moment.”“Tell me about it. Holding him steady was so exhausting.” As he spoke, Sugar Bun filled his face with some baked goodies. “I almost lost my grip on him when he coated himself in that slippery Oil Script.”“Our last battle was indeed tough.” Xuan Li agreed, splashing some water on his face to cool himself down. “I must admit that we did pretty well for ourselves despite us not being able to use our Guides’ Powered Scripts. I never thought that we would have won 6 consecutive victories.”“Me neither.” Sugar Bun joined in. “It was all thanks to our insane phy
