Bored Gamer in Other World

Chapter 174 - 174 "I See You."

"Come all of you maggots from the Outer Court and get yourself a number. You know what's going to happen so get to it fast! I don't have time to wait for your lazy asses today."

A negative old man yelled unto the collection of lower disciples in the dome.

Although this old grandpa was pretty harsh with his words but no voice of discontent rang in his vicinity or otherwise.

They have known right from the start that this impatient Senior was the famous assistant of Elder Hong Tian, Elder Tao Ru.

And same as his good master, Tao Ru was of course a full fledged Golden Core Expert.

"Here is your number, Young Master Clark. You only need to wait for when everyone will get their respective numbers and after that, the Inner Disciples Exam should begin without fail."

Elder Feng Ren passed a wooden stele with the number of 1 towards our very own bored gamer.

As one of the two Legacy Disciples in the Demonic Sword Sect, he was of course given the honor to be allotted the first choice in the thousands of attendance in this Inner Disciples Exam.

One should know that the Outer Court prided over three hundred fifty thousands cultivators all in all and yet there were only a few thousand participants in this contest.

It could be seen from this alone that there were really few people who had reached the peak of Mortal Shedding Realm.

Five minutes quickly passed and the last person held the number of 5238.

Amongst the ones who appeared today, this approximate few amongst the 350,000 Outer Disciples, joined in on the Inner Disciples Exam.

"Enter the Stage when your name is called!" Tao Ru handled the proceedings and started with due haste.

"Stage 1 Outer Disciple Clark Colter vs Inner Disciple Gu Ju!" The first pair was called.

"BANG!" And one ring of combat rose from the ground.

"Stage 2 Outer Disciple Long Tian vs Inner Disciple Jin Jie!" The second pair was summoned into place.

"BOOM!" And another ring of combat ascended into form.

"Stage 3 Outer Disciple..."

.

..

...

The list of names continued and some were overly excited to begin the battle before all the names were entirely called into motion.

Nevertheless, Tao Ru was blind and deaf through it all because he was perhaps the most eager one for this event to conclude.

"Good luck, Young Master Clark. Be careful in there."

Amongst the people who bade fortune to our lucky protagonist, Lian Li and Lian Ah's voices were maybe one of the warmest on the scene.

Of course, Wan Fei was also not to be taken lightly as she spearheaded the trio of well wishers in the party.

"This will be so easy for me. No worries. I will come back in triumph very soon!" Clark smiled with full confidence of his capabilities.

He strode into the center arena and never looked back until the end. He passed by freshly created battle rings and took a curious glance at the mystery behind this creation.

With a True Immortal Cultivation, our bored gamer only had to take one look at the format of this magical construct and that was totally enough for him to decipher how this came to be.

'Hmmm... What innovative Formation Arrays!' Clark approved of what he has seen.

He had noticed at this time that the stage had an extremely special ban that would limit every cultivator that would step into its area of influence.

An effect that would make equal everyone inside to cater to the lowest realm within them. Like for example Clark who had the facade of a 10th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.

Although his adversary was already in the 1st Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, they would truly be fighting on the same grounds because his enemy's cultivation would be limited to the strength of a 10th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.

'A strong downgrade!' Clark exclaimed inside.

This cast was pretty much familiar to his eyes already and it did not even need much prying for him to determine that this has the distinct touch of one very particular person in the Demonic Sword Sect.

'I wonder how this sect would survive without your guidance and expertise, Elder Tan Hai.' Clark mused and could only admire an old acquaintance after his discoveries.

Before long, our good gamer jumped into the 1st Stage to meet with an Inner Disciple named Gu Ju.

The two adversaries thrown together by fate looked eye to eye and neither of them spoke any word whatsoever.

In the end, the other people on the arenas nearby could only begin amidst this state of inaction. No words or taunts resounded but only direct engagement between very deadly foes.

"BANG!" A flash of lightning razed the stage in yellowish thunderous brilliance.

One body was thrown outside the ring and it was very peculiar to see that an ancient rune covered the neck portion of the Inner Disciple.

Had this rune not interfered with the invisible slash from the man that seemed to be made out of lightning, there would be no doubt that he would have lost his life right then and there.

A second breath later and the aged voice of Elder Tao Ru rang on the scene.

"Stage 2 Winner! Outer Disciple Long Tian! Congratulations on successfully passing the Inner Disciples Exam! Come here and wait in silence!"

"Thank you, Elder Tao Ru!" Long Tian replied and immediately jumped from the stage but not without passing our bored gamer with a look of absolute hatred.

'What?! What did i do wrong this time?' Clark could only shake his head while getting all this dislike from someone that he had only seen for the first time in his life.

All the while, similar things happened around them and during fatal strikes, a balancing rune would take place in order to save the lives of its disciples.

'This Demonic Sword Sect really is something else. Hehehe. They don't safeguard the lives of their students in normal training and yet in the official ones such as this Inner Disciples Exam, they would go the distance and ascertain the continued survival of their seeds.'

'SIGH!'

'I have no words to say at all!' Our bored gamer could only shake his head at this time.

Even if he was in the private confines of his chambers and kept on playing his games in his free time, that did not at all mean that he was ignorant to whatever was happening outside of his residence.

Not at all. There were injustice taking place in every corner of the Demonic Sword Sect and perhaps murder was the swiftest way out of this hell hole.

Alas, our op protagonist has chosen to let this evil deed be. If not, then he would have long ago slaughtered the majority of this five hundred thousand population of this sect.

'How could I enjoy playing in this xianxia world if I do that instead?' Clark sighed and finally looked once more at the silent Gu Ju.

He could not help but get interested in the old man in his front. Surely this was not the strongest 1st Stage Foundation Establishment Realm in the sect.

It did not take long for Clark to discern that some higher ups had paved a comfortable way for him indeed.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to slap you to death? Is that it?" Our good gamer could not halt a pleasing smile from showing on his face at the moment.

He knew the outcome of this encounter and so could not help but almost laugh out loud in his stationary place. In reply, Gu Ju only nodded once and just once and then...

"AHHHHHHHH!" Gu Ju screamed like a man on fire and he even spat a fountain of blood to give absolute effect to what he wanted to do in the first place.

After that, Gu Ju backpedaled like someone so strong was pulling him far and away from our very own protagonist.

He caught the ropes of the ring and without any suspense whatsoever, dropped towards the hard grounds outside.

"Did any of you see what has happened?!"

"Of course not!"

"It was just too fast for our eyes to follow!"

"How did Young Master Clark do that?!"

"Fool! Do you wish to fathom the genius of a Legacy Disciple?!"

"All of you need to eat more rice, meat and soup before you can decipher the mystery behind the unseen attack of Young Master Clark!"

"HAHAHA! You're all a bunch of morons!" The Outer Disciples talked amongst themselves and it was the same rubbish as always.

Since they could not see what really happened, they all made conclusions with what little excuse of a brain they had at the moment.

But unbeknownst them all, the true orchestrator of this plot laid hidden behind the curtains of this entire affair.

* * *

In a secluded part of The Demonic Sword Sect, a beautiful woman and a shadow conversed alone.

"Is this fair, Young Mistress?" a voice asked in hesitation.

"Of course." The beautiful woman answered. This was of course none other than the strongest power in the sect today, Gu Wenren herself.

"But Gu Ju is your half brother. There was no lack of replacements in the sect who could have done this same exact thing." The shadow was confused.

Although the Patriarch of the Demonic Sword Sect has had many sons and daughters within the sect but Patriarch Gu Chun has only ever acknowledged Gu Wenren as his only rightful heir.

"All the same. It matters not. Gu Jun or some other else. As long as it will serve my purpose, that is more than enough for me."

Gu Wenren replied and it was curious to see a gentle curve of a smile creep around her red lips.

"And may this servant know the reason behind all of this convoluted plot, Young Mistress?" the Shadow queried for one last time.

"Look at our new Legacy Disciple and you shall see." Gu Wenren nodded and both looked in the clear vision before them.

The whole sky was akin to a gigantic screen of what was happening real time elsewhere.

And as they focused on the lifelike figures and images nearby, the two of them could not help but notice a handsome young man's lips move in accordance to make these words...

"I see you."
