Heavenly Dao Child 60 The result of the bet Part-1

Kyouki: "Oi brat you are quite for a long time, is there any problem? Oi say something, was it your first kill? Well if it is I...".

Long Yu gritted his teeth what is wrong with this people, he really missed the 'Shadow Wolves', even if only Veronica was now with him right now but this girls are irritating always trying to act nice then next second they are insulting him and finally after some time he snapped back, "Kyouki, listen I know you all barely tolerate me and I can say same can be said about me, and after a few more hours we will no longer be teammates and I can say after we get out of this ruins we will never ever meet again. So instead of insulting and trying to put me down or make fun of me next time when I say something next time please try to spare some thought on the matter."

Ryofu with a stoic face, "Is it about that poisonous fruit?"

Long Yu: "It is one of the many incidents which happened since we formed a team."

Ayesha with a frown on his face, "Listen here kid I accept that I made a mistake in identifying the fruit and if you want I can apologize to you, but you do not have to make a big issue about it."

Long Yu: "See this is what I am talking about, I do not care if you know about something or you do not know, and making mistake is normal learning process, I will be frank and even accept that there are lots of things I may not know. But when I voiced my concern please please give it some thought. I also know me being so young makes it impossible for you to take me seriously but do not forget I had the same qualification to enter here as any of you."

Helen gave out a sigh, "Ok little brother, next time we will listen to your suggestions and we will stop treating you as a child. Is that alright with you Long Yu?"

He gave them a bright smile as he replied, "Yup and I am happy that you understand."

Veronica listened to their talk intently, she herself was annoyed at her new team's behavior towards Long Yu, she wished she was with her original teammates, then she felt sad when Long Yu said,' after we get out of this ruins we will never ever meet again', she knows it is true he entered their team because he wanted to gain experience nothing more nothing less, but that does not mean she has to like it all those beautiful memories they shared she will never forget them ever. At the same time the disrespect shown to Long Yu by her new teammates really gritted her nerves and she was sure if some of her more hot tempered teammates like Jessie was here it would had escalated into a big bloody fight.

Ayesha: "So how did you know about the everlasting peace fruit? Have you seen it before?"

Long Yu: "Well if picture on a book counts then yes I have seen it.", while inwardly musing, 'Of course I have seen it, what do you expect of my Master's herbarium, not only she has every medicinal plants there, I can swear each of them are infinite in number.'

Helen: "The thing that you did before to them, how did you paralyze them?"

Long Yu:"Oh those I used arrays."

Helen: "Arrays? But how I never show you place some array tags before."

Long Yu just raised his left hand and touched the wall of the Labyrinth, and removed his hand soon an array formed.", Helen was astonished as was her teammates.

Helen: "How did you place that like there, do you some kind of contraption on your hands?"

Long Yu showed his hands, but was freaked out at the way his hands were studied by Helen at one time it looked as if she would simply tear his hands out.

Helen: "Impossible, an array requires intensive calculations commands and what not to be written on top of that we require materials to write on."

Long Yu: "If you practice enough it is easy to do so especially with array you know by heart and most importantly I am a peak Zifu Disciple level Array Master, I think you would be able to craft once you reach that level."

Helen was lost in thought maybe she should double her efforts on becoming a better array master, it seemed a very useful in battle.

What neither of them knew that the technique used by Long Yu was a very special one, normally a person can only put an array like that only when the rank of such array is many ranks below the mastery of the array. But Long Yu was extremely lucky to apprentice under such knowledgeable Array Master as 'Nuwa' who created a technique enabling Long Yu to manifest any type of array up to his rank of Array Mastery easily with a blink of his eye and by a simple touch.

Soon they reached a corridor with a few doors present at that time they were worn out, escaping lava pools, giant waves and all sorts of traps really worn themselves out.

A single tablet lay on the middle of the road with instructions,

'For those who wish to participate,

1) Please enter one by one by opening the door of the exam you want to take.

2) Each door has a placard placed in front of it designating the type of exam that will be held.

3) Please remember that after entering to close the door behind you or else the test will not begin.

4) Only one person may enter at a time if more than two living person is detected the test will not begin.

5) The door has a green light on top of it, if the light turns red wait for it to turn green before you may enter.

6) After the door is closed by a participant the light will turn red for a few moment after which it will turn green please enter as soon as it will turn green

7) The participant who enters last will under no circumstances find themselves in the same room as the previous you all will be send to separate subspace for the test.'

Koyuki turned towards Long Yu, "Brother Long Yu, I hope you are ready for your bet."

Long Yu gave a nod of confirmation towards her.

Koyuki just smiled at him, "Well then the best person may win, and brother if the way I spoke with you has caused you some inconvenience please I beg for forgiveness from you.", as she lowered her head to him.

Long Yu: "Please raise your head there is no need to apologize, I know people underestimate me because of my age so please there is no need to apologize.", as he raised his head trying to placate her.

Soon the participants entered the respective rooms, Ayesha and Long Yu both went inside a door marked 'Alchemy', whereas Helen and Ryofu entered the door marked as Array and Blacksmithing respectively.

Kyouki let out a sigh as she sat beside Veronica, "I hope he doesn't humiliate us too much when we lose the bet."

Veronica raised an eyebrow at the comment as she asked curiously, "A prideful women like you giving up so early."

Kyouki just gave a small smile as she replied, "To be frank a part of me still believes in my teammates, but I know after seeing Long Yu in action that we might have bitten off more than we could chew. My master always warned me that because of my pride I tend to underestimate others and it would be my downfall, she was so right I underestimated him because of his age. I just hope that he won't humiliate us very much."

Veronica just smiled at her, "You are right in one aspect because of his age my team initially not only underestimated him but also were reluctant to his babysitter while we explored this ruins. But now we owe all our lives to him many times. But you should not worry because at the end of day he is a kid, nice kid but still a kid upon whom I had upmost trust that he will never do anything humiliating to you."

Kyouki just smiled at her while she thought idly, 'Master was so right this trials are life changing, now I would have to find some way to stay in contact with him, when the trails are over I do not want to lose any kind of contact with him, I may have been irritated with him before but he is not bad, I wouldn't mind being his friend.'
