Chapter 183: Weak
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi had never heard of Meng Tian, and he had never heard of the World of the Sage. But so what? It would all be fine as long as Yan Xiu knew about it.
Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi trusted each other immensely.
”Do you know this Meng Tian?”
”Yes I do.”
”Do you know about the World of the Sage?”
”I know a little.”
”Good!”
Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Each of the candidates rushed to go through the gates.
There was an age old saying that it was better to enter first. Being inside first meant that one was more familiar with the world and thus in an advantageous position.
However, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were in no hurry.
As such, the two of them waited quietly outside. They only made their way through the gate after everyone entered.
There was no big plan behind their patience. Fang Zhengzhi was just afraid that squeezing with the rest would dirty his clothes. He also did not want to get wet.
...
The moment they stepped through the stone doors, the rained stopped.
A vast expanse greeted them. There were no tables or chairs, not even a tree in sight. The only thing that could be seen were the green stones on the ground.
The space was not big, but it allowed enough space for all 200 of them to stand inside.
In the near distance was a bridge, a stone bridge. To be more accurate, it was a broken stone bridge.
On the other side of the bridge was a mountain. The mountain was covered by mist so no one could see anything clearly. They surmised that it was a mountain from the silhouette.
This did not seem much different from an ordinary pocket dimension. However, since it was known as the World of the Sage, how could it be this simple?
”Cross the stone bridge!”
Four simple words echoed out throughout the space. It clearly laid out what they had to do.
This was a stone bridge that was broken from the center.
There was a stone at the start of the bridge. It was carved with two words, ”Broken Bridge!”
There was nothing else.
Everyone’s gazes focused on the broken bridge but no one took the first step. This was an endless broken bridge.
The gap was clear for all to see, but everything past the gap was covered with white mist.
No one knew how long the bridge was, or if there was even a bridge on the other side.
Everything was unknown.
This was the most unsettling thing.
Fang Zhengzhi did not look at the bridge. He looked at the stone plate, at the two words to be exact...
”Broken Bridge.”
These were two incredibly sharp words.
Every stroke was carved deeply into the stone.
”If my guess is correct, Meng Tian’s weapon was a sword?” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Yan Xiu.
”It was a sword, but he stopped using it.” Yan Xiu was slightly surprised. How did Fang Zhengzhi know Meng Tian used a sword when he didn’t even know who Meng Tian was?
Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the two words.
Yan Xiu glanced at it and nodded in understanding.
”Speaking of swords, there is a legend in the Great Xia Dynasty. It says that a sword is hidden in the World of the Sage. That is the sword that Meng Tian used to kill the demon lord Di Sikong!”
”There is a sword hidden in the pocket dimension?” Fang Zhengzhi was confused. If that was the case, why can’t he keep his own sword in his pocket dimension?
”When you are at that level, you can keep tens of thousands of things in your pocket dimension. Naturally, you can keep a sword.” Yan Xiu was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s question. After all, he knew Fang Zhengzhi had never gone to school. Ever since Fang Zhengzhi completed the Theory Examination in four hours, he believed this fact even more.
No academy would teach a student like that.
”So... where is the sword?”
”No one seems to be able to find the sword. It is said that the Sagely Battle God never used it again after killing the Demon Lord.”
