The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 89 CHAPTER 88 : Joey's Promise To His Master

After chatting for a while, they excused themselves from Elder Lin's house and returned to the Guest-disciple's house.

"Wu Tong, how is your stomach? I brought your favorite chicken soup curry. If you don't feel well, then I will throw it away."  Chun Hua said while bringing out a package.

? "Sister-in-law, I am fine now. Also please, don't joke with food. " Then, he quickly took the package and put it inside his space ring.

"Brother Joey, I know you can beat that blonde guy if you use all your skills. But, why don't you? " Chun asked. Joey was currently laying his head on her lap on the sofa while she massaged his head.

"Sister Chun, I can't. Alright, I will tell you." Joey replied then he started telling her a story.

A few years ago inside the bamboo forest in the Evergreen World, Joey and his teacher Arjuna-Anukriti were drinking their tea in the courtyard. (Arjuna-Anukriti means Arjuna's clone)

"Son, for one year I have taught you everything I know about the knowledge of dharma and Purana. Now it's time to teach you about weapons and warfare. Let's go." Arjuna-Anukriti said.

He started teaching him the basics of holding bows and arrows.

"Son, you have good eyesight and strong hands. That is the first quality of a good marksman. Go on, practice hitting those dummies." Arjuna-Anukriti guided him.

For the first two months, he taught him the basics of all martial arts ranging from marksmanship, swordsmanship, wrestling and even fighting with clubs.

Joey was a quick learner. He had learned all of them.

"Good boy, you have comprehended and perfected all the things I taught until today. Now, I can finally start teaching you knowledge of  'Divya Astra'. "  Arjuna-Anukriti said.

Divya Astras are the Celestial Weapons of Hindu Gods. Summoning and using the Astras required the different Vidya of Mantras.

( Vidya is a Sanskrit term for figures prominently in all texts pertaining to Indian philosophy – mean science, learning, knowledge, and scholarship )

So he started teaching Joey the different Vidya of Mantras.

After eight months, Joey digested all of them.

"Son, you have done well. Now, make a promise to use them according to the moral principles I have taught to you. Also, you are forbidden to unseal your lotus seal except for those conditions. " Arjuna-Anukriti said.

Then Joey made a promise to him.

Joey ended his story after this.

"So, I can't use any of them. " Joey explained to them.

"Your master is crazy. What is good to learn powerful skills that are forbidden to use." Chun Hua said.

"I agree with my sister-in-law. Big brother, why don't you use those skills secretly? Your master will not know as he is not here. " Wu Tong said naively.

"My master forbade me because those celestial weapons are very powerful. Some of them have the power to destroy even the universe. Also, Wu Tong always keeps this in your mind. 'A man should keep his promise until he dies.'  Sister Chun, my master doesn't want me to go astray after learning those powerful mantras." Joey explained.

" We have to take our second test tomorrow. Alright, let's rest well tonight. Goodnight, brother Wu Tong ." Then, Joey and Chun Hua entered their room together.

Only Wu Tong remained alone in the guest room. Inside his head, the words 'A man should keep his promise until he dies.' keep ringing.

"Hmm, big brother, I will always keep these words in my mind. Alright, now that I am all alone, I can finally have my favorite Chicken Soup curry peacefully. Hee hee hee." Wu Tong murmured and took out the bundle from his space ring.

"Yummy!" He exclaimed, taking a bite on the rice mixed with Chicken Soup curry.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The following day, 21,666 participants came before the tower. They waited patiently for the test to begin.

From the top of the tower, an elder stepped up and announced, "Everyone, congratulations on passing your first test! Before we start our next competition. There are 100 big containers in front of you. They contained 21,666 stones with five different colors. Go and pick one each."

Then everyone picked a stone each from those 100 containers. Those stones had black, white, green, purple, and red colors.

Then all the ten elders on the top floor infused their essence qi on a symbol. After that, the ground around the tower shook and suddenly five big platforms arose from the ground. Then five of them jumped on the five platforms each.

"Now, everyone drops your blood on the stones." The elder announced.

Everyone follows and on the big screen, every participant's names appear on five different columns. Every five columns had five different colors black, white, green, purple, and red.

"From today onward, those who get the same stone colors will compete among your groups. It will be a one on one combat style. Also, the combatants will be selected randomly by our array system. In addition, you have 6hrs a day for this competition. Alright, let's begin." The elder on the top floor of the tower announced.

Then suddenly on the big screen in the air, five shufflings started and stopped showing the pictures of 10 participants.

They walked upon their respective platforms. Then the five elders in each of the platforms acted as referees.

"Big brother, which color do you get?" Wu Tong asked.

"White. Guys, what do you get?" Joey said.

"Black." Chun Hua replied.

"Mine is red. It is lucky that we are all in different groups. I can't fight any of you. Especially you, sister-in-law, thinking of hurting you by accident, really freaked me out."  Wu Tong said and released his breath heavily.

"Hmmm! As if you can hurt me." Chun Hua snorted but she smiled at him.

"Alright, let's watch their fights,"  Joey said.

After about ten minutes, the first matches of the five platforms ended. Then the next teams were up on the platform for their matches. Like that five matches had already concluded.

On the 6th match, Joey' name came up on the screen.

Joey then walked up to the platform. His opponent was a man with lvl 5 Demi-God realm.

They stood facing each other. Afterward, the referee gave the signal to fight.
