For Gu Shenwei, staying in Pyrowork Academy for half of the first month was a nightmarish experience. Gu Shenwei doubted whether he had made the right choice. Ever since most of the over 30 remaining apprentices were taken away by their killer mentors, a few of them gave up on their dream of being killers and volunteered to be servants in West Castle.
The only solace for him was that he had an opportunity to return to Giant Rock Cliff, where Nameless Swordbook was hidden.
There were numerous killer apprentices in East Castle. As it was impossible to let them have contests on the same day, Pyrowork Academy held several martial arts contests almost every day.
