I am the Young Master

——(POV third person)——

Days passed slowly and soon it was the day of trial. The smaller powers were able to keep their quota so the 30 thrones belonging to them didn't get challenged further.

Some small talks happened here and there in these days, elders were educating the sect disciples who were selected and disciples were talking with each other about the trial and tried to form small teams for the trials.

The trial is not that small that you can find each other easily but this would give the participants ease of mind to get in the trial despite the fact that this 'team' might not see each other until the end.

There are some things that the sects have find out about this trial after all these years that helps in this situation. The disciples can't use teleportation and such methods inside it but you can sense the space, meaning that you can use this to your advantage to find your fellow disciples.

The way it works is that all of the disciples have an artifact on them that would activate if there is another of such artifacts in its surrounding. This way if you are in range, you can cluster together and move as a team.

As there is no guidebook for the trial, no one knows for sure if this is allowed or not so the range that they have been working with is not that large. This way, they won't unknowingly trigger any hidden mechanism of the trial.

Of course the holy lands first 'gifted' these artifacts to other powers to use them as guinea pigs to test this theory. As it worked, this is now a common practice between the disciples so that they can have a higher level of security. The distance that this devices can detect each other in is about 10 km (~6 miles).

As today was the day, all of the selected disciples were gathered here, on the edge of the [Eternal wail Chasm].

——(POV Li Huang)——

We got to the location of the main event. Of course like every other event, some asshole had to talk for half an hour before we were able to continue with the event.

Well as someone who uses his time very efficiently I checked my storage rings to pass time.

Even with this many storage rings, the speeches were not finished by the time I was finished.

Looking around for something to do, I remembered that I didn't get the chance to speak with Hu Anjing as we were engrossed in the preparation for this trial.

~'Hello there!'~ without any hesitation, I sent her a sound transmission.

She was surprised for a moment as she seemed to be paying attention to the speech.

~'Junior uncle, why aren't you paying attention?'~ she asked me.

~'this is nothing but formalities from the holy lands. All we needed to know has already been told to us.'~ I just shrugged. This is all to show that they are the big guys here.

~'well, I can't say that you are wrong.'~ Hu Anjing nodded to my words.

~'never mind this, how did your training with that inner formation go?'~ I asked her my main concern. Having that inner formation is more effective than having plot armor in this trial.

Hearing my question, Anjing puffed out her chest a little.

~'The training went great. Right now I'm only one step away from forming the formation to the initial state.'~ she answered smugly.

~'That's amazing! With this, you can breeze through the trial.'~ I was genuinely happy for her. I know that she was one of the best talents in body cultivation and this inner formation would work best on someone like her, but honestly, Anjing reaching the initial state was nothing other than my wishful thinking but she is not far from making it true.

~'don't worry junior uncle, I will give you some of my spoils later.'~ she said and giggled a little.

I know that she gets flustered if you praise her so I didn't continue and let her change the subject.

~'I can even pay for them, after all, if I have something in abundance, that is money.'~ I shamelessly told her.

She nodded enthusiastically.

~'Yes. This plan is better, I will sell them to you and make some good money…'~ Hu Anjing said and his eyes were shining.

To the surrounding disciple who didn't know about our talk, she just looked scary and no one dared to look at her, in fear of facing her ire.

I couldn't help but laugh. This is one of the habits that she has had from the time she was an assassin, she likes making money a little too much…

'Well, not that anything is wrong with it…' I thought.

Luckily for us, the speech was finally done and disciples were getting ready to enter the trial. I say enter but we are literally going to jump into the chasm and wait for the trial to teleport us in.

First thing first, I located Ren twins and walked to them.

"Good to see you here." the twin were talking to each other as I got close to them.

Turning toward me, Ren Tai spoke.

"Big brother." He greeted me and Ren Ru did the same with a nod.

"I have to get ready so I don't have much time. Here, use these items if you needed them and read the notes that I have left for you in the rings."I gave them some essentials and also some information about the trial that might become handy for them, I didn't find them just to let them die in the trial.

Ren Tai wanted to say something but I really didn't have time to go back and forth with him so I just wave my hand dismissively to stop him.

"Just accept it, we will talk later. Take care of yourselves." I told them and went back to our sect's place to get ready for the jump.

When I got back I saw every one of the disciples who got here with us and the ones who are going to jump with me.

Nodding to Ye Ling and Lai Xinyue and some other disciples who greeted me, I got to the front of the queue, right behind Hu Anjing.

After the grand elders of each holy land draw a lot to decide each holy land's turn, we got to go first.

'And here I was about to bitch about our luck…' I shook my head.

Going to the edge of the chasm I couldn't hide my amazement about its size and depth. It was so vast that you could even see some sort of ecosystem was created in it and some 'big' birds were moving here and there. One couldn't see how deep this chasm goes down but the clouds that were formed in its depth were a testimony for its sheer size.

"This is beautiful." I heard Hu Anjing's voice.

"It truly is…" I seconded.

It was our turn to jump so we had to do it fast before the other sects start getting restless.

"See you there, Junior uncle."

Hu Anjing went forward and jumped without any hesitation.

I went after her but not before giving a small nod to my grandmother's master, Su Zhi, who was looking at me.

The way down was thrilling. Well, only because you know you will be safe, otherwise, you would be shitting yourself. After a few more seconds of free falling, i saw that Hu Anjing got teleported and Ye Ling also got teleported a second later.

"…"

'...I'm safe, right?'
