Not A Cultivator 145 FEI BAO XING: DEAD

However, the Elder has agreed to keep his cultivation level as secret. Except for them and the two junior disciples from earlier, no one else would know. After all, as an underground sect, they have so many secrets hidden. Perhaps it was the only silver linings he had, and Fei Bao Xing just has to make use the most of it.

"Here's the dorm. Go to the right side of the corridor, and you should be able to find room number seven, that's your room."

The Elder brought Fei Bao Xing inside, as he opened the door. However, it was not all good, just inside the main entrance, there was already a pool of blood all over the place.

At this kind of situation, Fei Bao Xing could not help but be wary. He stared, but his feet were unable to move.

"What's wrong? Why don't you go inside?" asked the Elder with a provoking smile.

After almost being killed so many times, Fei Bao Xing has a survival instinct much higher than an ordinary person. And the smell of blood already prevents him from taking another step.

"This is a trap..."

"So, you noticed..." The Elder said. "That's right, this is part of the test... There's always just new recruits that barge inside and end up dead even though they saw the blood all over the place. At least, you passed the basic requirement. But, you still have to go inside and enter your room."

As expected of the Silver Hands Owl, you can't just expect to be alive on the first day without doing anything.

[Hmmm... Let's see how Fei Bao Xing could handle this test. Could he find that there's actually a secret entrance located at the back of the house? On average, new recruits should be able to discover it in 15 minutes. But as someone Yu Liang recommends, he should be able to do it in 5 minutes...]

Fei Bao Xing picked up a small rock nearby and threw it inside. As it entered the area, wood pillars emerged from all over the place and crushed it to pieces before it vanished back into the ground it came from.

"Oh... You actually deactivated the trap! Congratulations! Now, you can go inside."

Was what the Elder said, but it was nothing more than a lie. More people ended up dead because of this false information. There's no way the Twenty Pillars Array Formation would be deactivated just because of a small rock.

The successful recruit would usually throw another stone to verify the Elder's words, before finding another way which is the secret entrance. The Elder assumed Fei Bao Xing to do the same, but outside of expectation, he walked inside.

[Huh... He's actually going inside!? Did I expect too much from someone Yu Liang recommends...] The Elder sighed. [Looks like he'll just be another victim of the Twenty Pillars Array Formation...]

As the Elder was waiting for Fei Bao Xing to die, he took out a brush and a paper from his storage ring. Then, he wrote with big letter words, "FEI BAO XING: DEAD."

[Hmmm... Something's weird, why I did not hear the sound of the wood pillars coming out?]

"Wha... How..."

The Elder rubbed his eyes as he could not believe what he saw. Fei Bao Xing actually calmly walks inside. He definitely walks over the array formation's area, but why it did not activate?

"Could it be... Silent Steps!! ...Moreover, to be able to pass through the Twenty Pillars Array Formation, It must be the First Grade Silent Steps. Only a few Elders was able to use this move... Fei Bao Xing, just what the hell are you..."

Of course, what Fei Bao Xing used was not Silent Steps, he does not even know what's that. It was easy, as someone who learned Array Formation in the Upper Realm, handling Twenty Pillars Array Formation was simple enough. If one looked closely, he was holding exactly twenty strands of grass in his right hand. One strand of grass to prevent a wooden pillar, any more and any less would not work. This fact was quite well known in the Upper Realm, but it seemed this information did not reach the Lower Realm.

The Elder sighed, "It's a shame... If it's not for his broken meridian, I would already take him as my disciple... Let's just see how long can he last."

"Room number seven... Room number seven... Here it is!"

Fei Bao Xing found the room he was supposed to reside in. Given it was already very late at night, he opened the door slowly as to not wake everyone up.

[As expected, everyone already asleep.] thought Fei Bao Xing [And, my stomach is empty... Might as well sleep to forgot about this hunger.]

Without any lights nearby, it's hard to see clearly. Fei Bao Xing saw three beds occupied by three dark silhouettes, then he went to the empty one in the corner and quickly fell asleep.

Time passed by, and morning quickly came. What usually accompanied by the chirp of morning birds, was instead replaced by three screams.

"Kyaaaa!!! A man, a man, is here!!"

"Why is he doing here!?"

"A pervert! Truly disgusting!!"

Because of the noise, Fei Bao Xing had no choice but to wake up.

"You... How dare you enter the girls' room!?" said the girl that looked the most beautiful.

"...Girls room?" said Fei Bao Xing while rubbing his eyes, clearly still sleepy. "Wait! Girls..."

But, it was only for a moment before he realised what happened.

"Young Lady Min, it's dangerous. Don't get close to him!" said the second girl.

"Don't you dare touch even a single hair of Young Lady Min!" said the third girl.

"Wa... Wait... Stop using the formality!" Lady Min hurriedly said.

The two other girls looked shocked as they realised they made a terrible mistake.

"Oh, No... What to do!?"

"He heard us, we should take care of him!"

"There's no choice, let's kill him!" said Lady Min.

[Eeehh... What!? Kill me!?] Fei Bao Xing wants to cry, he just woke up and suddenly these girls want to kill him.

Just before the three girls make their move. Suddenly the Elder and some other new recruits rushed inside.

"Chang Miao and the others, are you all right?" said the Elder.

"Where's the pervert!? Let's kill him..." said one of the boys.

The girls were surprised at the appearance of the boys. But, nevertheless, they used this situation to their advantage.

"Uuu..." Lady Min cried while pointing her finger at Fei Bao Xing. "This man almost assaulted me!"

"Me... Assault!? What!?" Fei Bao Xing was surprised at the girls' words. First, they want to kill him, and now they framed him for an assault.

Still, because of those words, the boys became angry. These young ladies were their idols. How could they let the assaulter alive?

"You dare to assault Chang Miao!"

"You're gonna pay for this!"

As the boys jumped over to kill Fei Bao Xing, the Elder shouted, "Wait!"

"Elder, don't stop us! We have to kill this pervert!"

"He's no pervert." the Elder said. "Fei Bao Xing is our newest recruit. And, the one who's at fault was not him, it was Chang Miao and the others."

"Ehhh... Us at fault? ...Elder, what do you mean?" Lady Min responded. "It was clear this man that entered Chang Miao's room and tried to..."

"Except, this is not your room. Your room is next door." said the Elder. "This is actually his room. So, Chang Miao and the others were the ones that entered the wrong room!"

"Huh..."

What does this mean!? So, it's not Fei Bao Xing that assaulted Chang Miao, but the reverse?

The Elder sighed. It's a bit complicated to explain, but Fei Bao Xing did it. Once again, he has surpassed expectation.
