Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Chapter 98: Leading the Hundred Disciples



Chapter 98: Leading the Hundred Disciples

Thousands of disciples were rushing on the endless road that was in front of them. 

They didn’t know who Kong Fu Zi was or how valuable his teachings were but they were still reward-driven. The end reward sounded nice. Everyone wanted to have an upper hand over the others and the end of the dragon road was such a case.

Zhao Luo could see the crowd of disciples already on the dragon road while a continuous stream of trainee disciples was entering through the mouth of the Dragon skull.

Tsk.

Wu Yang clicked his and looked at Zhao Luo.

Shouldn’t we go too?

Wu Yang asked Zhao Luo impatiently.

Zhao Luo looked at Wu Yang who was acting unnaturally.

So you can get impatient too. Huh just wait.

Zhao Luo said to Wu Yang as he smiled while the disciples around them kept on entering the dragon road.

As the crowd around them diminished more and more the others around Zhao Luo also started getting impatient.

Brother what are you thinking?

The short Wei Bin came towards Zhao Luo and asked him with confused eyes.

Zhao Luo smiled at the little boy who looked at him like a real brother.

Zhao Luo pointed his finger towards the sky and dragged his leg on the grass while looking at everyone.

I think the test had already started soon after we entered this space.

Zhao Luo told them shocking news.

The old man you just saw is like a puppet that we had to fight in the moonstone while the real person who is watching over us is an elder of the sect.

Zhao Luo said as he looked at Wu Yang who had told him this bit of information.

‘Nod.’

Wu Yang nodded confirming Zhao Luo’s announcement.

The test is still about the three teachings. But from when do we start acting on these teaching?

Zhao Luo asked them but no one answered as they were keen on listening to him.

The moment when that old man had told us the three teachings the teat had started.

Zhao Luo told them as he raised his index finger and brought it forward.

The first teaching. Stay calm and quiet under pressure. 

Zhao Luo repeated in the voice of the old man so they could understand.

Are they calm? No. But we are.

Zhao Luo said as he glanced at the disciples that were entering through the mouth of the dragon.

Look how they are pushing each other. Is that how one stays quiet under pressure? No matter when we get on the road we just have to remember the three teachings and see the end of the road.

Zhao Luo explained to them as he kept on pointing back and forth between the disciples that were on the white dragon road and himself meaning his group.

They won’t even behave and act on the first teaching just to get an ahead start. Fools.

Zhao Luo felt bad for the disciples who were on the dragon road. 

‘Will they fail the challenge?’

Zhao Luo wondered as they could start changing on the road. He wanted them to pass because most of the disciples in the trainee hall had supported him in all his challenges. They had been cheering for him so it wouldn’t sit right with him if they all failed because of their stupidity and eagerness.

Zhao Luo looked at the others hoping they had calmed down for now.

Wu Yang Mite Feng Mei Yan Su Shi Mo Lee and Wei Bin all understood Zhao Luo’s reasoning so they were nodding their heads while thinking over what Zhao Luo has said.

Wait.

Senior Mite you are here too? You will fall behind if you don’t hurry.

Zhao Luo realized that Mite was still here and decided to mess around with him for a bit.

Hahaha I am following the teaching. It has nothing to do with you.

Mite tilted his head upwards as he shot down Zhao Luo’s taunt like a bird.

Others looked at Mite who was standing in their circle and couldn’t help but laugh at his simplicity.

Ah huh I see. So senior you already learned how to be calm. That’s good. 

Zhao Luo grinned as he looked at Mite who couldn’t hide his embarrassment. 

While Zhao Luo and his friends were waiting for their turn to get on the Dragon road someone way up in the sky had a smile on his face as he looked down at them.

Interesting bunch. Is he the one leading them?

A man who looked like he was in his twenties said.

He was looking at Zhao Luo’s group. But his main focus was on Zhao Luo.

By seeing Zhao Luo’s hand gesture and hearing his words he was very surprised by the fact that they had such a talent hidden in the trainee hall. 

‘He may not be a trainee’

The man in the sky had this questionable thought but it wasn’t reasonable. It was because there were already two familiar faces in the group.

That is the one who was assigned to help the disciples in the trainee hall while that other one was always following around the first elder.

The man said while looking at Mite who was overseeing the disciples in the trainee hall as a part of his mission.

While the man looked at Wu Yang for a brief moment too thus these two being in Zhao Luo’s group confirmed that Zhao Luo was indeed a trainee disciple.

Back on the green grassy vast land in the Fu Zi time.

Zhao Luo had already told Wu Yang Mite and the others that they should start entering the mouth of the dragon thus they would be starting their journey on the dragon road.

Zhao Luo looked around and unknowingly his group had increased by quite a lot of new faces as many disciples stood behind Feng Mei Yan and the others showing respect to them.

Guys.

Zhao Luo looked at them and said. He didn’t know what he was supposed to tell them. Everyone had the same challenge so following him blindly wasn’t a good idea.

Don’t worry brother. We respect you and want to see the end of this challenge with you. Even if we fail because of this we won’t blame you.

The disciples said together. There were around a hundred of them and all of them shared the same thought.

‘Sigh.’

Zhao Luo took a breath of relief as he closed his eyes.

Be all-embracing.

Zhao Luo mumbled just to open his eyes and look at them brightly.

Then Let’s go.

Zhao Luo said as his robes fluttered with the dragon road behind him his handsomeness knew no bound.

Amazing.

The disciples couldn’t help but praise Zhao Luo who looked like a living prince ready to go on a war.

Zhao Luo turned around and stepped on the dragon road through the mouth of the dragon.

Let’s do this.

Wu Yang told the others as they all followed Zhao Luo.

This road….

The dragon road felt weird.

It’s like sand. No it’s more like wet cotton.

Zhao Luo said as they started walking on the road.

Every step was a hard one. They had to use force just to take each step and the road had just started.

Zhao Luo walked with a fixed speed such that the footsteps of the other hundred disciples who were keeping up with him created a rhythm that would sound out with every step of hundred strong disciples.

‘Pit-a-pat Pit-a-pat Pit-a-pat.’

They walked and walked to no end.

The dragon wasn’t just endless but also wide so wide that a hundred disciples were divided into only two rows which were behind him and the others.

After hours of walking everyone had gotten tired. Walking on wet cotton like a road for hours and hours was not an easy task.

It was even harder than going up on a steep hill.

This was where their intentions will truly be tested. The reality of the challenge that was following the teaching will start from now on.

Will we just be walking like this?

Shouldn’t we pick up our speed to catch up with the earlier group?

If we keep on walking like this the dragon road will never end.

This time it wasn’t Wu Yang but the other disciples who had joined them.

Shouts of disciple started rising from behind them as exhaustion consumed their bodies and fatigue enveloped their minds.

Stay Calm and Quiet under pressure.

Zhao Luo only said one sentence but with a loud enough voice that his voice entered everyone’s ear. 

There was an extraordinary power in Zhao Luo’s voice that helped them get rid of the fatigue that was covering their sanity and the exhaustion of their bodies.

What?

I feel better.

I was so tired just a moment ago.

The disciples who were suffering the most after hours of walking exclaimed as they felt the power behind Zhao Luo’s voice the most.

But it wasn’t just because of Zhao Luo’s voice.

This was how the Dragon Road in the Fu Zi Time was devised.

The one who believed in the teaching and followed it will come to realize changes. Well the others around him will realize these changes in him before he does as he will be practically helping them with it.

This was what Zhao Luo was doing.

‘I hate these types of challenges.’

Zhao Luo told them to stay calm and quiet while he himself thought otherwise as he kept on walking while leading the other disciples.
