Chapter 153 - Trial Rooms With Different Time Speeds

'Ding,

          There is no particular rate at which the time moves in the trial rooms. Every trial room has its own pace of time. 

'Ding,

          There are even some trial rooms where one century is just a single day in the outside world.

"Really? It's good,"

Henrick was excited to see more system notifications from the trial master and nodded his head.

"So, how much has time passed in the outside world?"

Nevertheless, Henrick was to keep track of the time because he needed to go to the working disciples' courtyard and meet Elder Eagor. If by any chance, his master enquired about him and found out that he didn't go to the working disciples' courtyard by the sunset, he had to give an explanation of where he went.

So. Henrick wanted to go to the working disciples' courtyard by sunset.

'I can come here again tomorrow to complete more trials tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,'

Since he was planning to stay in the working disciples' courtyard for the next 6 days, he could come to the inheritance building whenever he wanted and challenge more trials.

'Ding,

          It took one hour and two hours for the challenger to complete his first and second trials respectively.

'Woah. Only three hours? Good. I still have five more hours to spend time in the inheritance building,'

Henrick felt a little bit happy as he still had a lot of time to complete a couple more trials.

"If it is like this, then I will rest for a bit before attempting a new trial,"

Without thinking much he said to the trial master and sat against one of the wooden pillars.

Even though there was not a single injury on his body, he was mentally tired after getting killed in the earlier trial. So, he thought to take some rest before challenging another trial.

'Trial master, I have one question. Can you answer it?'

With his eyes closed, Henrick asked the trial master.

He knew that even if he thought something inside his head, the trial master would understand.

'Ding,

          As long as the challenger has the access to that question. I will answer it.

'Good'

Hearing the mechanical voice in his head, Henrick nodded his head as he asked, 'My question is related to it. Since you keep on saying to increase my challenger's level, can you explain to me how I do it?' 

'Don't tell me I should aimlessly complete as many level 0 trials as possible,'

Before the trail master could answer his question, Henrick said another sentence to the trail master and waited for the answer.

'Ding,

          The request is within the challenger's access level.

'Ding,

          To increase the challenger's level, he has to complete three trials of the same level of the challenger's current level, and then he could request for a level ascending mission, which will be a level higher than the challenger's current level. As long as he could finish that trial, the challenger's level will be increased.

Soon, the trial master gave a lengthy explanation to Henrick's question because it was within his access level.

'Phew...only three trials. I  thought I have to finish 10 trials before ascending to the next level,'

Once he heard the complete explanation of the trial master, Henrick heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he was excited about his third trial.

'As long as I complete the trial, I can find out the exact price of the items I want,'

Henrick looked at the soul store to his right and clenched his fist.

Currently, he was not keeping any hope that he could buy the items that could either increase his skills or hide his bloodline from high-level cultivators; however, he wanted to know the price of those items and depending on it, he would rush the things.

...…

In the beast mountain,

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey finally opened its eyes and revealed the monkey noises to let the old man Fionk know that it had completed the process of condensing a drop of blood essence.

"Haha...as I expected. You were able to complete the condensation of the blood essence within 14 hours,"

The old man Fionk looked at the baby fire money and started laughing.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey coughed out a small red-coloured orb from its mouth and gave it to the old man Fionk before slowly turning back to leave the place.

'Where are you going?'

He stored the drop of blood essence into a small box before asking the baby fire monkey.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey used its hands to say that it was to go home and eat something.

"Since you gave me a drop of blood essence and you will be giving two more drops of blood essence in the future, I will give you something in return,"

The master of the beast mountain walked towards the baby fire monkey and picked it up from the ground before saying, "Let's go back to your old home."

After saying that, the old man slowly moved towards the top of the beast mountain where his cultivation abode was situated,

'Eek eek'

Once it heard his words, the baby fire monkey became anxious as it started retorting as hard as possible to escape from the old man's hands.

However, how could a rank 3 beast could escape from the hands of someone of the same cultivation as that of the sect leader?

'Sigh'

Seeing the struggling baby fire monkey in his hands, the old man sighed before saying, "Don't worry. From now on, no one in the beast mountain will make you endure pain."

He took the baby fire monkey closer to his chest and tried his best to calm the baby fire monkey.

Finally, after some time, it stopped struggling and thought to believe the old man's words.

'Good boy. I will give you your favourite fruits and other fruits that help you progress in your cultivation,'

The old man revealed a slight smile as he felt that the baby fire monkey was no longer fearful of him.

Soon, he took it to his cultivation abode and gave many high-level fire fruits along with other fruits that help the fire type beasts.

'Looks like the event has already started. I hope at least a handful of disciples will be chosen by the beast with the forceful contract,'

While the baby fire monkey was excitedly munching on its favourite fruits, the old man didn't see his disciples. So, he assumed that the event of 'Forceful contract by the Beasts' had already started.

'Thinking of forceful contract, I wonder, who did this one chosen as its master,' All of a sudden, Fionk thought about the disciple, who was chosen by the baby fire monkey.

'Since you chose him as your master, his future is going to be boundless,' The old man Fionk revealed a slight smile at the luck of the outer sect disciple.

However, what the old man didn't know was that the outer sect disciple's future was going to be boundless with or without the baby fire money as he had many fortuitous events already.

Soon, he sat in his chair and continued to observe the baby fire monkey with a peaceful expression on his face.
