“Come sit here.” Old Chan sighed and invited Jaime to sit on the small table near the cave. He poured out his liquor from his porcelain bottle to the glasses. He didn’t want to offend the academy’s crasher. “This is a monkey wine, made by fruits, you will like it.”Didn’t see any reason to refuse it, Jaime chose to sit and gulped the wine. It is cold weather though. “Good wine, good wine.”“Told you so.” Old Chan smiled lightly in pleasing mood.“What do you want to tell me?” Jaime asked politely. “For your knowledge, I’ll still want to take the exam no matter what you tell me.”“Alright, slowly kid. Let me tell you our academy’s story first. This academy, The White Lion academy, was the only academy that the king approved to produce a general. Do you know why?” said the old Chan. He didn’t want to let Jaime enter the exam and cause him injured. The academy will face a big trouble if this city lord son in law injured.“Because this academy bribed the king, prime minister, and shameles
Medicine to cure a broken heart is a new heart. Medicine to cure unhappiness and poorness is having a simple heart. Wanting less than what you earn.***Jaime followed the path through the dark cave into a bright open area. It was a big dome inside the hill’s womb, brightened by the light of thousand torches hanging along the dome’s wall. The dome was very big and could occupied ten thousand people without any problem.Suddenly some iron chains, those hanging on the top of dome, started to move and caused a ringing sound. Big stone door on the left wall opened with heavy sound and three hundreds bronze soldiers marched out with heavy stomped voice. There were big hammers on each of their hands. All of them walked mechanically.The other stone door on the right wall opened, three hundreds silver soldiers marched out with halberd on their hand. In the middle of the wall, stone door opened and three hundred golden soldiers with big sword marched out.Nine hundred soldiers rushed to Jaime
“Please tell us how to pass the second trial, we need to pay 20.000 spiritual stones for every time we test.” One guy was desperately begging to Jaime. “I have tried fifth times and can’t pass the exam.”“Oh.” Jaime didn’t need to pay for the test because of his special status. “I will tell you my secret of passing this trial, but for every one wish to watch my record, they must pay one thousand spiritual stones.”“Deal!” Some rich people quickly answered and got their money out.“Good,” said Jaime guarding the iron door. “Quickly move inside for people who have paid the ticket. The greatest show ever will be soon played. One thousand stones for a ticket.”About sixty four people entered without any problem. Jaime checked the others assembling in front of the iron door, without showing any sign to enter. “What are you waiting for? Go enter or you will regret for your life time.”“One thousand spiritual stones are too expensive.” One disciple answered and the others quickly replied in a

Old Chan was quickly aiming his sword to Jaime’s foot. “Today I will force you to take out that stone, no need to wait for tomorrow!” The sword cut Jaime’s foot into two. Yet Jaime still stood. Old Chan launched a few attacks again but all of its attacks passed through Jaime’s body.Jaime still talking, “You know I am thinking to make it into six hundred thousand spiritual stones.”“You, what are you!” Old Chan watched in horror. How his attack could not cut Jaime. “What kind of martial arts are you using. Who are you!” Old Chan started thinking Jaime was some elite soldier secretly sent by the king.“About who I am, it is not important. Just prepare the money, tomorrow we will meet again.” Jaime suddenly disappeared like a smoke. Old Chan almost got heart attack.“Trouble, it is a big trouble. I must tell headmaster!”***At the night in secret room, Headmaster’s crawl smashed to Old Chan’s face and caused his head collided with the stone table. “Which part of my command not to make

Will someone willing to borrow a pig for hungry tiger?It kind of dilemma though, you don’t borrow the pig to the tiger, it will eat you. If you borrow the pig to the tiger, we both know what will happen to the pig.Suddenly one pig walked to the peasant and tiger, “Peasant I see you have a tiger, can I borrow your tiger?”The peasant surprised. “Why?”“My master bought a new male pig. He pampered and used that bastard to pregnant all female pigs.

He smiled a lazy
“What kind of bet?” asked headmaster in hurry.“Unknown stone, Map of heaven and 600.000 spiritual stones will be belonging to academy if I can’t get perfect score for fourth trial.” Jaime smirked. “But if I get perfect score, I will get two millions from academy.”“Two millions?” asked Chief Treasury. “It is almost half of this academy treasury. No!”“Yes,” said headmaster shocking everyone who heard it. “We take the bet.”“Why?” asked Chief Treasury.Headmaster laughed cheerfully, “If we can give motivation to our disciple to aim for better result and make proud of our academy, sure the academy willing to pay with everything.”“True,” said Jaime and City Lord at the same time.“Headmaster,” said Chief Treasury.Head master waved his hand to stop the Chief Treasury and continue, “But, for making it fair and for Jaime’s own development, I want this fourth trial free from City Lord’s help.
