Chapter 130 - Maze

"... there isn't a scratch on him."

The Illusory Ancestral Training Ground is divided into 9 levels. To separate the guys from the girls, the girls were put on the 1st level while the guys were put on the 2nd. This was why there weren't too many people surprised that Xiao Hei came out of the first test looking as clean as Xiao Fang did.

1st level: 2nd - 3rd tiered beasts

2nd level: 3rd - 4th tiered beasts

3rd level: 4th - 5th tiered beasts

Etc...

Tier levels to Cultivation Realms:

1st Tier = ~5th stage foundation realm

2nd Tier = ~1st stage Refinement realm

3rd Tier = ~5th stage Refinement realm

4th Tier = ~1st stage Spirit Core realm

etc...

Since the [ Illusory Body ] method could increase a cultivator's body power by an entire realm, the sect would usually only recommend girls in the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm to train in the 2nd level of the Ancestral Training Grounds. However, most, if not all of the men in the outer court, hadn't even started practicing a cultivation method yet. Although it wasn't too uncommon to find a few Spirit core or Solid Body realm cultivators doing the inner court exam, they were usually much older than Xiao Fang was.

...

Inside the 2nd testing area, Xiao Fang was walking through a hallway when he suddenly heard an illusory elder speak.

"If you are registered under an elder, proceed through the right door. If you have no master, enter through the left."

Xiao Fang walked up to the right door, but before he could open it the elder suddenly spoke again.

"Through this door is a maze. Your objective is to reach the other end. If you cannot pass this round before the sun comes down you will fail."

There was more than 12 hours left till the sun came down, so time wasn't an issue for him.

Xiao Fang walked through the right door then scanned the area once inside. What he sensed surprised him.

There were several openings to the maze, but nearly all of them reached the end without any blocked ends.

'Is this really a maze? Even a child could pass this test,' Xiao Fang thought.

Without thinking too much into it, Xiao Fang began walking down a random path. He was paying close attention to his surroundings, but nothing happened. The further down the path he walked the less cautious he became.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Fang removed his blindfold and took a peek. What he saw left him speechless.

The path he was on was twisting and turning, there were walls that he couldn't sense with his ears and there were paths that were actually a wall. Just looking around him made him feel dizzy.

"Now I get it. This explains the strong illusory qi I was sensing when I stepped into this maze."

Perhaps if Xiao Fang could only use his eyes it might've taken him much longer to complete this test, but since he could sense his surroundings with his ears, this test was like taking a walk in the park for him.

"Hmm, I wonder how Xiao Hei is doing,"

Since Xiao Fang had a lot of time, he tried to scan the entire maze, but this time with the intention to find Xiao Hei. Since the maze was huge, it took some time to find her, but when he did he was surprised because she was already almost halfway to the end.

'Not bad,' he thought.

Xiao Fang was a bit surprised by how well she was doing in the short amount of time that she was in here for. However, he quickly noticed that she wasn't alone.

'It seems she's made a new friend.' Xiao Fang was a bit amused by the thought.

He knew how much she hated humans, so he didn't expect her to be making friends with them so easily.

Curious about who her new friend was, Xiao Fang eavesdropped on their conversation, but he was unable to learn anything about her.

Xiao Fang was interested to know who this new girl could be for Xiao Hei to like her, so he altered his path to intersect the 2 girls.

With his speed, it took him less than a few minutes to reach them. Xiao Fang took his blindfold off when he was close enough to see them.

The girl walking with Xiao Hei had long brown-ish orange hair, a cute face, and stood around 156cm tall. More importantly, she had a small ass, but nicely shaped B cup tits.

Although he couldn't imagine having too much fun with her in bed, that didn't discourage him from wanting to try.

'How could an innocent minded person, such as myself, have such lewd thoughts at a time like this. And it's towards Xiao Hei's new friend too. I guess Xiao Hei wouldn't mind...'

Dirty thoughts aside, Xiao Fang was going to approach her when he suddenly remembered the man he buried in the ancestral training grounds.

Xiao Fang stopped, did he not learn anything from that experience? After thinking about it for a little while, Xiao Fang finally took out his blindfold then blindfolded himself again.

{"Xiao Hei, turn around."} Xiao Fang said to Xiao Hei through a spirit transmission.

Xiao Hei had a sudden look of surprise in her eyes as she turned around.

"Hm? Did you discover something?" The girl next to Xiao Hei asked.

Without replying to her question, Xiao Hei suddenly started running towards the twisting and warping path.

"Hey wait, for me," the girl cried out as she tried to catch up to Xiao Hei.

She knew Xiao Hei was much stronger than she looked, but seeing her run so fast still surprised her.

In the next moment, Xiao Hei was gone from sight. The girl didn't know whether to keep chasing or to just forget about her and continue doing the exam. She was upset because the deeper she went the harder the maze got, and she relied heavily on Xiao Hei to get to this point.

Although she wasn't going to give up, she couldn't help but frown.

However, a few seconds later she saw Xiao Hei again.

"Fei Lin, you're back! Why did you run off like that?"

The girl then looked up at the man standing behind Xiao Hei.

"Who's he?"
