RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 16: DIVISION OF MINES

Myro led all the disciples to move forward, before long there were a lot of red eyes staring at them. Myro could sense that most of this red-eye power was Qi Fondation whereas the strongest was Soul Wandering, however these monsters were just welcome so Myro was not surprised over their weak strength.

Under the frightened gazes of the disciples, the figure of a rat that had black fur and red eyes ran towards them, roughly 20 rats that were trying to attack.

"If you're not interested in dying yet then pull your weapons, I don't mind you guys working together either. This is a battle practice, no matter how strong you are, as long as you have never experienced a real fight then it is useless!", said Myro who stepped forward to slash at the rat who had the power of Gold Core and Soul Wandering.

As for the Qi Fondation rats down, Myro would not fight him to let these disciples train. Whereas if any disciple dies from this rat attack then Myro will let it go. The disciples numbered 100 people whereas the rats were only less than 20, if they still could not win then there was no need to become cultivators. After all Myro had already let them cooperate, the strength of the disciples and rats was not much different either.

Myro slashed the Gold Core rats upwards to death easily, then seeing the disciples who were just fighting, they had never fought before because most of the disciples of the Zodiac Sect now came from normal families. So this was their earliest fight, there were countless people fighting with trembling legs or hands. Even after successfully slashing the rat, some people spewed their breakfast out of disgust.

"These disciples still need a lot of training" said Cristi while shaking his head, killing the rat monsters already made them vomit, let alone killing others. Cristi knew that these disciples would have to be trained even more before being left to take on the sect's duties in the future.

Hearing Gristi's words, Myro looked at her mockingly "Didn't you throw up when you saw me kill someone else on earth first?".

Considering he used to vomit as well, Cristi felt ashamed of "Patriak, you brought back the past! At that time I saw the killing of humans directly, not to mention that the earth was a more peaceful world so I had never encountered anything so bloody like that".

Myro shook his head and stopped discussing the matter "According to the map found, the mine is divided into 5 levels and each level is separated by an iron door. Level 1 or where we are now is the area that had the fewest diamond crystals in the past, therefore the energy here is also the weakest so the strongest monster is only Soul Wandering. But we brought in the disciples today, so we're just adventuring until we finish level 1".

"I understand, patriarch!", replied Cristi firmly.

Myro nodded and did not say much more, he continued to watch the disciples who had difficulty fighting the rat monsters, even though in terms of strength or number they benefited more.

On the other hand, Myro could also find some better disciples. They killed mice without any problem, even their legs did not shake which suggests that they might have killed monsters or even others before, so they were already not frightened anymore now.

When all the rats were defeated, Myro said "Remember this well! Every monster's body was extremely precious, especially the presence or absence of crystals on their bodies. In addition, the skin or meat is useful, so you must share it with the members of your group who killed this rat together. If you kill him alone then you can take the corpse yourself!".

After Myro stored the corpse of the mouse he killed into the storage ring, the corpse of this mouse was indeed useless to Myro but could be stored in the resource warehouse after being separated from the insignificant part.

They continued to step forward at level 1 of this mine, there were so many monsters found in the middle of the road that Myro cleared all those monsters.

Although there were some people who were injured but no one died, this made Myro slightly nod.

Finally they arrived before an iron door that also signified that level 1 was finished, Myro smiled and looked back at the disciples "Tasks this time are done, already, we'll go back upstairs!".

Myro's goal was finished for now: to train the 100 best disciples and clear the entire level 1, now this place did not have any monsters for now so the disciples could wear them.

"I understand, patriarch!", replied Cristi.

When everyone had returned to the top again, Myro let the disciples go back to the dormitory where they lived.

The disciples left very happily, however most of them returned while carrying corpses or monster crystals. They could use it themselves or sell it, after all most of the Zodiac Sect disciples were now from a poor place so that the money could be sent to help their families.

Looking at the excited disciples, Myro only slightly smiled and turned around to return to his house. The goal he had today was only to level 1 which was the easiest level, even the strongest boss there that Myro had fought before was only a level 9 Soul Wandering.

Therefore, from tomorrow Myro will bring the elders to complete this entire cave. At least before the battle against the Land Bear Sect began, Myro should have already completed the level 4 cave. As for level 5, now was not the time because the last monster there most likely had the strength of a Martial General, even Myro could not fight such a powerful monster unless his cultivation increased a lot again.

Myro returns to his house while Cristi does another Myro task of calling Lars.

As Myro sat in his house chair and drank tea for 5 minutes, Lars finally came.

Lars stood in front of Myro while bowing respectfully "Patriak, I heard you call me, is there a task I should do?".

Myro put his tea glass back on the "Lars table, I haven't given you the training building that should be your duty because the training building is a mine in the middle of our sect. From today on, you'll be the guard of the mine! Every time a new monster appears there then you can either kill it, or save it to let the disciples practice. Can you do it? For the time being you only need to keep level 1, but before long then you should keep it up to level 4".

"Especially it means you have to stay in the mine almost every day, so I don't mind you to refuse. How'd your decision?".

Myro knew how hard it was to live and live in the mine almost every day, if one had a weak soul then they might be able to go crazy, he said, this made Myro decide to seek Lars' opinion first. If Lars refuses, Myro will use his zodiac spirit to guard there until someone else is interested in being an elder guarding the mine.

Not to mention Lars had followed Myro for quite a while and was loyal enough to make Myro still appreciate his opinion.

"I accept it, patriarch!", Lars said firmly.

Myro smiled as he nodded "You can start work tomorrow, where the mine will change its name to a training building from this very moment! Don't disappoint me, elder Lars".

"Okay, patriarch!", Lars replied again.

Myro decided to make the mine a training building because the rich energy in the mine was perfect for training one's body or ability, the energy around the mine would help the disciple to speed up learning how to use an ability as well as increase their cultivation speed.
