Dragon Fist Contest… I could feel the chill run through my spine.
"What about it?" I asked him with a severe expression.
"Master allowed me to take part next year." Replied Qin Fei.
"Master has gone nuts?" I spoke.
"The death rating is huge… usually the sect sends just the top tier disciples. Why do you need take part in such a crazy thing?" I continued.
The Dragon Fist Contest is a gathering of several sects.
There is a mountain range called Dragon Fist into the continent, which was the most dangerous place within the continent. The dangers are many, even the sect leaders would die if they face those hiding dangers. In the past, every participant of the contest gone missing… no one could say what happened. After years, a sect leader unhappy with the disappearance of his only two disciples found out that a dragon-type beast proposedly chased and killed all the disciples.
The Sects joined hands and chased out the matters and killed the beast. Entering the cave, they found a horrific scene. There were thousands of bones, most are from humans and others from beasts. The most horrifying was the difference between the time of death… some of the missing disciples survived for years into the cave.
This matter proved something that many experts already imagined. After years of absorbing the spiritual energy, a beast could gain some intelligence.
That dragon has stored for years living food.
Before that incident, the Dragon Fist Contest would happen yearly… but the sect's masters changed once per decade.
But this does not change the risk, a newbie like Qin Fei would last no time in that environment…
"And… for what do you need my help?" I said before he could speak anything.
"Obviously, I wouldn't go to a such dangerous place without a huge reward. To complete my aim, I need to for a group of unordinary people…" Qin Fei replied.
"Unordinary?" I asked him.
"Yeah, people with some special skills… Brother Feng, I'll not let you in dark, our objective is retrieving my clan heritage." Told him with a solemn expression on his face.
"You clan… heritage?" I said, obviously surprised.
Hearing that, I thought, what type of clan would place the heritage ground into such a humongous place? What is this fellow background? Everything seemed suspect to me…
"Yes, let us say that our ancestor was kind of crazy man. His philosophy: the only worthy of the heritage was the person who could overthrow such challenge… because of the large number of deaths each year, fewer and fewer people were taking risks for the inheritance ... until no one else tried to find it." Told him with a proud face.
"He remembers me of someone I met…" That crazy ancestor remembered my Master.
"Seriously? Who?" Asked him.
"Is it our Master's your ancestor? Nevermind… what type of special skill do you need?" I replied, looking him in the eyes.
"Well… he is not my ancestor…" replied him with a strange expression on his face while giving me a piece of paper with a list.
"1 - A geography expert
2 - A specialist in tracking
3 - An expert on spiritual fluctuations.
4 - An inscription specialist
5 - A specialist in mechanisms
… "
I continue to read the list out loud while frowning. The type of skills requested was extremely specific and strange, some I had no idea existed.
"Of course, I do not want to abuse the goodwill of Brother Feng… I will pay for this help... just say the price." Replied him.
"These are very specific things; I don't know if there will be all of them in our Sect... could they be outsiders?" I asked genuinely.
"Yes… there is no requirement on these people other than their skills." Said him.
"Let us do it like this... I'll see how hard it is to find these people and then we talk about the price." I responded.
"So, I'm going to bother you… Brother Feng" Whit a smile on his face he replied to me.
After that, we talked for a while, and he went off after he thanked me again.
A few minutes later, I called a servant.
"Old Luo, I need you to find everything you can find about Qin Feng… and most importantly… don't let my master know that." I said.
"Yung Master, consider done!" replied the servant.
"Unfaithful disciple, doing thing behind you master?" A stone-cold voice sounded behind me. A chill run stale on my spine.
"Master! How are you?" I replied as if nothing had happened.
"Hump! If you need to know something, just ask me… the is no need for such mischievous thing." said him.
"Disciples understand!" I returned respectfully.
"The doctor Jiang told me about your health!" replied my Master while throwing a pill bottle towards me.
"The is some pills to help your recovery… I do not want hearing for the other that my disciple is a weakling. Rest some more days… later I have you to do something." I heard his voice while his person disappeared from my sight.
"What tha hell? Am I a shot of pushover? There is on my forehead: 'Yun Feng is your slave'… hur dur Yun Feng! Do it! Yun Feng! Do that! YUN F**infFENG suck my dic…" I cursed them for some minutes.
My Master always does that… some time ago, he asked me to shop with a girl because he promised her Master to find an appropriate partner for her. Other time… he told me to help the hall of the beasts to clean the corral, the reason? He was courting the Master hall.
After that, I heard a few steps, and a servant greeted me.
"Master, the princess is waiting for you in the garden." Said the servant with a bow.
"OH F*#&#*…"
