The Eternal battle
Chapter 312: Potential Disciple

Inside the cave, Arcana noticed something like rings as they walked, these rings are a super complex array and with her current cultivation base, Arcana couldn't comprehend this array despite her deep knowledge of this field, all she could understand was that there was a ring that was examining the soul but she didn't know the exact thing.

Shi Tu noticed the curiosity in Arcana's eyes and didn't mind explaining to her, "It is an array to evaluate prey, a ring to measure the grad of treasures, a ring to measure the quality and rarity of bloodlines, a ring to measure the purity of the soul, a ring to measure divine bodies, and another to measure the cultivation base. This is for evaluating the prey if it is worth hunting or not and to estimate the force that must be sent to hunt the prey. After all, the energy and resources of the cave are not infinite."

"What do you mean by prey? Isn't the Earth and Heaven Plunder Cave a place of opportunity or a tomb made by a peerless expert to find his heir?" Mingzhi Mei asked in amazement.

"Nah, that's not true, this is just a trap that the Thieves Emperor created to steal the people who come here, I have explained this several times so the third brother will tell you the details later."

Upon hearing that this place was created by the Thieves Emperor, Mingzhi Mei did not doubt and accepted the matter as a given. Shi Tu is the Thieves Emperor himself, since he said this, it must be true.

"But why should people be evaluated? Isn't it better to just kill them and steal them?"

Die Yingming didn't wait for Shi Tu to speak and explain, "Because this is a waste of time and effort, it would be bad to use ordinary means to deal with experts, as it would be a waste to use extraordinary means with ordinary people who have nothing to steal at all. After all, extraordinary means cannot be used at will because they are very expensive to do so. People who enter here are evaluated to avoid unnecessary waste of resources."

Shi Tu asked angrily, "Third Brother, why did you interfere? That's rude of you."

" This .... "

For a moment, Die Yingming didn't know what to say. He didn't think his intentions could be hidden from Shi Tu but exposed him in public?

"Haha, no need to be embarrassed."

Mingzhi Mei didn't understand the significance of Shi Tu's words, but Arcana did. Obviously, the reason for Die Yingming's intervention was to prevent Mingzhi from embarrassing him further because of her ignorance and asking stupid questions from their point of view. Although they are mostly good questions and testify to her intelligence, in this group this only brings embarrassment to Die Yingming.

Seeing the awkward look on Die Yingming's face, Mingzhi Mei could guess what he was thinking, but she didn't hold back and said, " So that is why you said that all treasures must be thrown away before entering."

"Indeed, in this case, they will not face many risks and have a good chance of escaping with some profit from the corpses of those who died before them."

"That's strange, didn't you say that the Thieves Emperor built this place? How can there be such a loophole? I find this strange." Feng Xiaoxiao spoke doubtfully and seemed to question Shi Tu.

"Feng Xiaoxiao…."

Sun Chiwei panicked and quickly grabbed Feng Xiaoxiao's hand in order not to say more.

Shi Tu stopped and looked at Feng Xiaoxiao with an icy expression, "Who gave you permission to speak?"

Feng Xiaoxiao wanted to say more because she was not convinced by what Shi Tu had said but looking at the terrified expression on Sun Chiwei's face, she decided to back off and said in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble., ''Sorry, I only said what was on my mind.''

Without any expression on his face, Shi Tu said to Sun Chiwei.

" kill her "

"W-What? Ma .. Master …"

Sun Chiwei's body froze for a moment and seemed to have a hard time understanding what he had just heard. Did Shi Tu just order him to kill Feng Xiaoxiao?

Shi Tu's eyes narrowed and he said, "Do you want me to repeat my words?"

Feng Xiaoxiao finally showed her displeasure and could no longer stand Shi Tu's arrogance.

Feng Xiaoxiao pointed her finger at Shi Tu and cried out in displeasure.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I just asked a question. you don't have to be so serious. Do you take someone's life that easy?"

Hearing this, Sun Chiwei's face turned pale and it seemed that life had completely disappeared from his face.

It's over. This fool dared to shout at Shi Tu and question him, she could not be saved now. Sun Chiwei felt very remorseful for having brought Feng Xiaoxiao with him, if he didn't bring her with him, she wouldn't reach the point where he had to kill her.

"Sun Chiwei"

"Master I..."

Sun Chiwei looked slightly dismissive and wanted to beg for Shi Tu but he didn't know what to say. If he says anything wrong, pay with his life.

Mingzhi Mei wanted to advance but Die Yingming grabbed her and spoke in her mind.

"Mei'er, although you are from the Shura Clan, you are somewhat kind. You should learn to deal with people from First Brother. Polite behavior or humility does not work with some people so that we can be together for eternity, please do your best to understand the purpose of the First Brother's actions. Remember well, except for the family, First Brother treats the rest like tools and you must learn how to handle those tools. Whatever he says and does with strangers, there is always a purpose behind it and a favor the First Brother wants to have."

Mingzhi Mei hesitated a bit but eventually relented because she had seen so much within the Dream World so she couldn't say that this was wrong. She also learned in the Shura Clan how cruel the world is. At least Shi Tu treats his family sincerely and is better than a lot of people who don't even care about family.

She can tell for sure that Sun Chiwei has some weight to Shi Tu since he calls him by his name, but Feng Xiaoxiao is different.

A tool that exceeds its limits must be repaired. This is what her father taught her and she wanted how Shi Tu intends to deal with the situation.

Pob!

Sun Chiwei fell to his knees and hit his head hard on the ground.

"Master, I beg you to spare her life, she is my only friend since I started my cultivation path, at least spare her life."

Although Shi Tu was the one who ordered, Sun Chiwei could not kill Feng Xiaoxiao, but at the same time, he did not dare to try to help her escape because he was well aware that it was the worst choice he could make.

"Sun Chiwei, what are you doing? Even if he is your Master with extraordinary abilities but he is only at the First Step Fifth Level, you don't have to act so humbly and submissive to him."

Feng Xiaoxiao was surprised by Sun Chiwei's strange behavior. Where did the proud Sun Qiwei, who fears nothing and refuses to bow his head, go? Now she can only see a small and frightened puppy.

Unfortunately, Feng Xiaoxiao did not know how much courage it would take for Sun Chiwei to disobey Shi Tu's orders and try to beg for her life.

"If you do this for me that's fine, I can find someone else and…."

"Shut the hell up!! " Sun Chiwei roared furiously.

This damn girl, he's trying his best to save her but she dares to act like this?

"Sun Chiwei"

Shi Tu looked at Sun Chiwei coldly and said, "I would like my followers and disciples to have their own personalities and not just puppets without the ability to think for themselves and do what I say without thinking. But..."

Shi Tu's eyes narrowed threateningly, "You must differentiate between situations in which you can give your opinion and those in which you cannot disobey my orders."

Sun Chiwei hit his head on the ground until blood spurted out of his forehead and said, "This disciple is willing to accept any punishment as long as Master at least spare her life."

Shi Tu shook his head in disappointment, "I am not your Master. you failed to meet the condition I set, only Lu Huang is my disciple. Since you failed to meet my aspirations, by what right do you want me to fulfill your request?"

Sun Chiwei gritted his teeth and said, "I still haven't graduated yet, I still have a chance."

"Are you saying you can do it?"

"Yes! even if it's the last thing I do in my life."

'' Well then, I can save her life, but she must be punished.''

Shi Tu looked at Feng Xiaoxiao and said "on your knees"
