Return: The Dragon Legend

Ch. 35. End of the Test

After the departure of his Master, Shou Yan sat down in thought considering that his meeting with Lu Ming was very short

Lu Ming left three messages shortly before disappearing, the first message he wanted the martial world to know of Lu Ming through his first disciple named Shou Yan, it can be said to want to make him the number one champion in the martial world

The second message was to remind Shou Yan to meet his Parents even though he himself did not know when and where he had to find both parents

The last message that Shou Yan received was for him to be able to stop the impending Storm of Destruction “Then when will that day come.?” Shou Yan felt a sense of confusion from Lu Ming's message that was so sudden his inner “Teacher.”, by looking up at the sky hoping he got a hint

Shou Yan let out a deep breath before thinking about the next step “What should I do”

Shou Yan's daydream was awakened when he heard a growl from behind a bush across the river “Who's there.!?”

By increasing his vigilance, Shou Yan intended to throw a tree that had been made as a training material but his intention was stopped when he saw the familiar man “Senior Ma..!?”

“Adu duhh..’’ Ma Liang woke up from a fainting state while holding his head that was still dizzy from trying to remember the figure that once flashed above his head “Am I dreaming.?”.

Ma Liang tried to remember the situation but his daydream was broken by a familiar voice, he looked for the source of the voice that had called his name and found a boy waving his hand at him

“Adi- “ Ma Liang coughs slowly before changing his nickname, although it feels close but he can still feel embarrassed “Junior Shou.?” Ma Liang waved his hand with a slight look, given Shou Yan's state of well-being

“Please wait there..”  Ma Liang tried to approach Shou Yan by crossing the river, occasionally his big toe touching the river water to ensure the cold temperature he could withstand

Without a doubt he hit the river to be able to meet his close friends, although the height of the river is only limited to the knee but he felt the cold water had penetrated every bone

Shou Yan raised his eyebrows when he found out Ma Liang crossed the river without caring about his wet clothes. Arriving at the riverbank Shou Yan extended his hand “Senior Ma”

Ma Liang who saw a helping hand from Shou Yan felt that he was indeed his best friend “Thank You Junior Shou” Arriving on the mainland Ma Liang just conveyed his intention

“Junior Shou, are you okay.?” Ma Liang held onto both of Shou Yan's shoulders while looking at Shou Yan's body from top to bottom to make sure there were no scars except at his temple there were scratches that had started to dry

“Junior, we must hurry” After confirming the state of Shou Yan, he again reminded that soon the sun will rise and the second test is over

If until the morning the participants are not at the point of association then it can be sure to fall in this second exam

While explaining the situation Ma Liang cleaned up Shou Yan's tent and put it in the leather bag he had.

Shou Yan who saw the good intentions of his friend tried to help clean his tent and did not forget to turn off the campfire and sow it with soil so that the fire does not spread into the forest

“Whataaaa.!!”

Shou Yan covered both his ears when he heard the loud cry of being near him “Can you shrink your voice.?” He saw Ma Liang was glued to see the contents of his leather bag

“Ba-how did you get this..? Ma Liang took out the silk clothes he found and showed them to Shou Yan

“Itu..” Shou Yan scratched his cheek while thinking of finding a reason “I can't say that this outfit was a gift from her Inner Miss Lung”

“Junior..! what are you not..? Stole it.!?” Ma Liang narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Shou Yan

“Oh really..? wasn't this leather bag given by the Sect..? and just then” Ma Liang circled around Shou Yan while holding a silk shirt that he suspected of being a gift from Xiao Lung

Before Shou Yan let out those words, the two of them were made aware by a shout that came from the middle of the forest

Shou Yan who was the first to notice the peculiarity that occurred by looking at the flames of smoke filled the sky

Ma Liang also looked in the same direction as Shou Yan “That was. the gathering place of the participants.!”

The two looked at each other before rushing towards the source of the smoke. Ma Liang put back Shou Yan's silk clothes into his leather bag and threw them at Shou Yan “You owe me an explanation”

Shou Yan caught his leather bag and answered Ma Liang's question with a slow nod, both of them realizing that the current situation was not the right thing to argue with given that there was something to prioritize

Shou Yan was about to run but stopped when he saw Ma Liang crossing the river “What are you doing..? we have to fast”

“I know..” Ma Liang ignored Shou Yan because he thought crossing the river was the fastest step to get to the river bank

Shou Yan patted his eel when he learned of Ma Liang's carelessness was frat “I wait at the place of the society” Shou Yan continued his steps

Ma Liang raised his eyebrows when he found out that Shou Yan did not cross the river but passed the bridge not far from where they were “There is a bridge.!?”

The young man with his wooden fan started cursing at Shou Yan when he found out that there was a wooden bridge that was still sturdy and he could use

“Gather possessions and food you have.!” The voice of the man in black clothes as well as the black cloth that covered half his face

“Who are you.!?” Qiao Feng pointed at the face of the man in black who was directing the participants to collect the treasures and food they had

“Oh, there is a boy who wants to deliver his life apparently” The man in black clothes drew his sword right on Qiao Feng's neck “I really like a stupid boy like you” he whispered in Qiao Feng's ear

“A-what do you want,,? I will pay you, my father has many gold pieces” Qiao Feng swallowed his own saliva as the blade of the sword was one inch from his neck

“How much is your head price, huh,,?”

“A-I have ten gold pieces, ji-if less I can ask my father to add to it” Qiao Feng's body becomes shaky as a sword sticks to his neck, he glanced around and hoped that someone would help him

“I don't want your money, boy.!” The man in black sheathed back his sword and pushed Qiao Feng towards the other participants who were gathering together and jostled each other

The man in black walked over to his colleague who became the chairman of the group “Lapor senior, this many participants. did not have the courage”.

“Senior report, the number of participants we managed to collect was only 298 people”

The man in black with a height of almost two meters stroked his chin when he heard another report “According to Chairman Liu, there were 300 participants who escaped but.”

He thinks if there are two people who run away and leave the other participants“ Or they are watching us.” The man then gazed at the tree ten meters away from him “Come out.”
