The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 24 CHAPTER 23 : Location Of The Cave

Inside the room, Captain Chao was currently drinking wine with Xiaobo.

" Captain, I have a bad feeling about this mission . " the fatty said to him while drinking the wine.

" Fatty, you always said that before every mission. Stop trying to jinx us anymore . " he reminded and scolded him.

" This time is different. I really feel uneasy these few days . " the fatty added.

"Hey, stop spewing bullshit anymore. Fatty, you look much better to me," he said and completely ignored him.

" Boss, I really have lost my appetite and also have been having trouble sleeping these last few days . " the fatty further explained.

" Shut up, you damn pig! Anyone can say that but not you. You do nothing other than eating and sleeping all the time. " Captain Chao became furious and shouted at him.

Seeing him annoyed, the fatty made a forceful smile and scratched his head like he always does. He always did this whenever he got nervous. So Captain Chao picked up the jug, poured the wine into the glass before the fatty, and waved his hand to drink up.

" Fatty, will that kid come today? " He inquired.

" Oh that kid, he doesn't come here today ." The fatty Xiaobo replied to him and drank up the glass of wine.

"Creak creak " The door opened and a boy came inside the room. They both took a look toward the door and knew who just came inside the room.

" Hahaha Joey, you don't forget us. Come join us here ." The fatty laughed out loudly, also wine flew out from his mouth while he spoke. Both of them welcome him with an honest smile.

" Morning seniors ." Joey greeted them and took a seat nearby. Then, Joey joined them and started drinking the wine inside the glass in front of him. They sometimes ate the fried chicken legs on the plate which they kept on the table.

" Joey, I heard that you spar with general Mie lien yesterday's morning. Hahaha, look at your face, you seem to be beaten by her again." Captain Chao teased him on seeing him with recent bruises all over his white face.

Joey touched his nose and replied, " Captain, my sister always doted on me all the time but during sparring, she was so fierce and always aggressive. She becomes some martial maniac ."

" Anyway, I don't think you come here just to meet us old fogeys." Captain Chao implied to him.

"Captain, when will your team go exploring that cave ?" Joed asked him directly.

" So, you are interested in that cave. We will take our leave after 4 days ." the captain answered.

" Joey drink up! " the fatty interrupted their conversation while pouring a drink for him.

" Thanks, senior Xiaobo," Joey said politely and quickly drank up the glass of wine.

"Captain, can I tag along with your team in exploring that cave? " Joey asked again.

Captain Chao looked at him curiously for a while and he replied slowly, " Joey, I am honestly looking forward to you to accompany us for the journey. But, unfortunately, we can't. It is too risky even for us to be inside that cave. Also, your sister will never agree to that. "

" Right right, Sorry, I forgot to think about putting you in a difficult position by requesting that from you. " Joey quickly apologized for asking something that was impossible.

Captain Chao waved his hand to him to stop thinking that way.

" Joey, how much do you learn from that book? Can you show me how much you learned from that technique? " Captain Chao asked him.

"Sure, after this ." Joey reminded him.

After a couple of minutes, they walked out of the room toward the archery practice hall leaving only the fatty who continued savoring the chicken and drink.

" Hahaha. What a waste of tasty food and drink. They sure were both stupid." The fatty laughed and he said to them when he was alone.

Inside the archery practice hall, Joey was currently showing his first archery skill to Captain Chao.

The Captain becomes shocked at first and a crazy voice rang inside his mind, "What a perverse comprehensive power! This kid had even reached the threshold limit of the initial level after just a day. "

" Good, you are about to touch the middle stage of that skill. " the captain said to him.

" What do you mean ?" Joey asked him.

" My teacher made that up even though it was not in the book. He made it to three-level for both the two skills," he said.

He further explained," The beginner, the middle, and the final stages. For the beginner, we just used the qi essence, for the middle stage intents are needed, and also the final stage is when you harmonized the three that is qi, intent, and surrounding law we called it the law of arrow. "

" Oh, what's the intent ?" Joey asked again.

"Joey, intent were laws of everything that surround us. We all have intents but are too weak to break the balance of this world's laws. Suppose, if you killed many people, then your killing intent will become so strong that it will overcome the law of this, and will start showing outside. If this intent becomes stronger, you can assimilate it with related skills. "

Joey listens and carefully thinks about his weird killing intent that developed after experiencing the multiple trials of carnage in the first level of The Corruption pagoda. He thought, " If I used that intent with some related skill, then I may even fight those that were 2 or 3 realms above that of mine."

" Captain, do you have a somewhat clear map of the entire Xinjiang Tianshan forest?" Joey suddenly asked him.

"No, we just have the map of the outer region of the forest. You can't find it even in the palace library ." The captain said to him.

Joey clearly knew that what he said was really the case. He had memorized all the maps in the library including the map of Xinjiang Tianshan forest. He asked him just to check out the location of the cave and also to check out if the map here is more updated than the one he memorized.

? " Oh, you want that map. Take it ." He brought out a rolled paper to him. He knew exactly why Joey asked for that which was to locate the position of that cave. He was also curious about whether Joey would dare to go to the cave on his own if he knew its location.

Joey took it then unrolled and saw the red spot on the map.

" So, this red spot is that location. " he thought and returned the map back to Captain Chao.
