I Am The Young Master

Chapter 67 - Reward time



Chapter 67: Reward time

——(POV Li Huang a.k.a the original)——

Stepping on the hard floor of this new room, I couldn't hide my excitement anymore. After the test, I know that this is going to be the reward time, but I can't even comprehend what to expect from a trial that costs 500,000 points.

I am also interested in knowing a bit more about this test. My own double was kind of cooperating with me instead of trying to stop me. Although clearly there were some lines that my double wouldn't cross and would only hint me vaguely, it was too kind of the test creator to allow it and I don't think an old 'senior' would create a test like this.

What greeted me in this new room was a new stone pillar with writings on it.

'Why didn't this senior use a residual soul or something?' for all I could think of, I couldn't find out any solid reason for the usage of stone pillars to leave a message. True, the residual soul could eventually extinguish but you can say the same about the stone pillar because the pillar too can crumble if enough time is passed.

Shaking my head to get rid of these useless thoughts, I started reading the contents on the stone pillar.

~~ the fact that you are here reading this means that you have successfully finished the test. ~~

"No shit, Sherlock!" I couldn't help but mutter when I read the first line. Chastising myself internally, i continued reading.

_____________

~~ The mirror that you have touched is called [Soul and body mirror]. This mirror helps in making ones body and soul one.

As I have said before, this test, or more precisely the mirror might result in death. The reason for it is simple, it is because of the way you are being tested with this mirror.

When touching this mirror you would face your inner demon. If your inner demon is originated from something or someone other than you, the inner demon has no good feelings toward you so it would clash with you and this fight might result in you losing your life.

But if you have a problem with yourself, your inner demon could even go so far as to help you fix it.

The first type of test is almost impossible to win, but the odds for the second type are fifty-fifty.

As you are in this room, it means that you have had the second type of test.

There is a reason behind the name of [Soul and body mirror], having passed its test you can say that you have achieved soul and body unison.

Having this constitution is the prerequisite to practice the reward of this test.

I hope I can see the heights that you can achieve with this technique. ~~

_____________

'So there was another reward if I had to fight my inner demon.' I was interested in knowing what the reward was but I wasn't stupid enough to think that I could win a fight that this senior described as 'almost impossible to win'.

That aside, the whole reason behind this test was to find participants with [Soul and Body Unison] so I think it is safe to say that this is the main reward.

In a corner of this room, on a table, was a sophisticated information jade.

This information jade is levels higher than any and every information jade that I have ever seen in my life.

'This must contain the technique that this pillar talked about.' I thought.

Slowly I began to walk toward this information jade. Just by looking at it, you can rest assured that this technique is a high-grade one…

With slightly trembling hands, I picked up the information jade.

I just marveled at its creation and the detail that was put into it for a few seconds and then I absorbed the information without any hesitation.

If my future self could time travel, he would kick my ass because of this move.

These information jades are higher-level information jades as I have suspected and as one would expect, they hold a higher level of information than what normally is stored in an information jade.

The fact that I absorbed all of it at once could have resulted in consequences that I am not going to talk about but luckily for me, I was only in pain for a couple of minutes.

'Being a young master doesn't make you immune from being a country bumpkin…' I thought. I didn't have any idea that I couldn't download all the information in one go because it would be too much for me.

Now that the pain has subsided, I could check the technique with ease of mind.

The moment that I checked it a little and skimmed through some of its explanations, I was shocked senseless.

"This is a heaven-grade technique…" This is really above and beyond my expectations for this reward.

"…It's a rank 6 heaven grade technique." Not only this technique is of heaven grade, but it is also a high-ranked one at that.

To just put it in perspective, my [Eclipse Devourer Sword Art] is only a 9th rank earth-grade martial art and it is regarded as one of the main martial arts of the sect so saying that this technique is priceless is not an exaggeration in any sense.

Calming my emotions, I checked the technique properly this time.

The technique is called [Soul splitting scripture].

This technique is similar to a cloning technique that allows you to clone yourself when needed but has many advantages in comparison to cloning techniques.

For one, this technique does not create a clone and as its name suggests, all of the doubles have split from the original so you can say that they are all one.

The second advantage is that, when creating a clone, if you were to be defeated the clones would be also automatically cease to function but here, as they are all one there is no original to defeat so that problem wouldn't occur here.

'Now I get why this is called a heaven grade technique…' After just reading this much about the technique, I can see that this technique is leagues above its peers.

The next hours passed with me studying the training method of this technique and checking the information for any item or ingredient that might be necessary for the process. I checked on it so that I can be ready to learn the [Soul splitting scripture] as soon as possible.

What do I need to learn this technique? Well, the short answer is a lot. I have to use two-third of my monthly allowance for these practices but it would be well worth it.

If you think two-thirds is not that much, let me tell you that I have never hit the half mark all these years no matter how much I spent so this is really a lot!

Now the next question is that how long do I have to train to be able to use it in its initial level of mastery? More than a year. Well, this is to be expected from a heaven-grade martial art but knowing something is different from accepting it easily.

Anyway, I'm going to practice as hard as I can to get it done in a year or even less.
