Yan Xiaobao took a step back and shouted, "Big brother!"
Almost imdiately, a mountain of flesh descended from above.
As he looked up, the burly man's face fell. Then, a massive thud echoed as a mountain of flesh crashed onto him.
As Big Fatty Zhang continued to sit on him, the burly man let out a wretched scream. Although he struggled, he couldn't break free. In fact, if it weren't for his large and robust physique, he would've had the air squeezed out of his lungs, causing him to pass out.
When about seven servants reached the hillside behind the burly man and saw what was happening, their eyes widened in shock.
The two Outer Sect disciples also found it hard to breathe. The burly man trapped by Big Fatty Zhang seed to deflate montarily, making them feel a bit sorry for him.
Looking around, Yan Xiaobao leaned down and whispered, "Big brother, we have an audience."
Knowing Yan Xiaobao for over a year, Big Fatty Zhang understood his aning. He glared at the burly man, clenched his large hands into hamr-like fists, and began to hit him hard.
"How dare you try to escape from Lord Fatty! What shaless audacity!
"It's tough to climb all this way. We wanted to beco Outer Sect disciples but happened to give up at the last minute. Of course, we need so compensation!
"Fuji, I can't believe you refused us!" After beating him, Big Fatty Zhang then leaped into the air and slamd down onto the man. The burly man scread miserably, almost unable to breathe. As Big Fatty Zhang prepared to jump again, the man suddenly grasped a wobbly hand. With terror on his face, he blurted, "Here, take so compensation!"
Big Fatty Zhang imdiately helped the burly man up. Facing his cheerful deanor, he picked up the schoolbag, glanced inside, and then helped the man soil his clothes.
"Hahaha. Brother, why didn't you say so earlier? Look, people are already lined up ahead of you. We only need one, and we'll clear the way."
The burly man looked humiliated and angry but dared not say anything. He quietly stood beside the long-faced servant, feeling very dejected. As for the long-faced servant, he felt a bit better, thinking he was smarter than the burly guy.
"That was incredible, big brother!" Yan Xiaobao said with a smile, grinning. Then, he excitedly looked at the servants who had been following the burly man but were now standing there looking terrified.
Big Fatty Zhang proudly smiled and then returned to his position at the entrance, where he sat down again to block the path.
The two Outer Sect disciples exchanged frustrated glances. Compared to what had just happened, Yan Xiaobao and the others seed rather gentle and mild in how they extorted the long-faced servant.
"They... they're actually robbing people!"
"It's robbery!" They were incensed, but also slightly envious, and couldn't help wishing they had co up with a similar idea when taking part in the fire trial.
The seven servants who had been trailing the burly man were the most disgruntled. As they watched Big Fatty Zhang puml and beat the burly man, their eyes began to shine brightly.
Previously, becoming an Outer Sect disciple seed almost impossible. But now... suddenly, they had hope.
Excitedly looking at everyone, Yan Xiaobao suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Ladies and gentlen, there's one place left. How about we give it to the highest bidder!"
Soon, a group realized what was happening, and their gasping voices grew louder.
The expressions in their eyes beca more peculiar, filled with all sorts of wild emotions. Almost imdiately, people began shouting, making it seem almost like an auction.
"I'll bid ten spirit stones!"
"Eleven!"
"That spot is mine. I'll bid fifteen spirit stones!"
Yan Xiaobao, Big Fatty Zhang, and the third fat black man were instantly elated.
When the two Outer Sect followers heard what was happening, it was like pouring oil onto a fire. From their perspective, extortion was one thing, and robbery might be overlooked. But seeing the situation turn into an auction set their minds spinning. It was outrageous, waves of shock seed to hit their hearts. To them, the most villainous of the three was not Big Fatty Zhang, but the seemingly charming and innocent Yan Xiaobao!
"Outrageous! Shaless!" One of them finally gritted his teeth, turned around, his eyes filled with either jealous or angry bloodshot streaks, unsure of which, as he went to report the matter to the Honorary Guard.
Yan Xiaobao wasn't actually too pleased with the level of bidding. He pondered for a mont, then shouted, "Ladies and gentlen, we need to get going. Otherwise, other servants will appear, and who knows how long they'll take to decide!"
Responding to his words, a young woman's voice suddenly rang out from further up the mountain.
"I, Hou Xiaoi, bid thirty spirit stones! I co from a cultivation family and have plenty of money. Let's see who dares try to steal my spot!" A young, beautiful girl stord to the mountaintop. She had fair skin and a slender fra, looking very youthful.
When Big Fatty Zhang saw the young, beautiful girl, his eyes widened. He was about to say sothing but stopped, looking at Yan Xiaobao.
Almost as soon as Hou Xiaoi's words left her mouth, the rest of the servants descended into a trendous uproar, calling for higher and higher bids. In the end, she offered a price that made the long-faced youth and the burly man quake with fear. In fact, they even felt like they had just landed a great deal.
Hou Xiaoi proudly stepped out of the crowd, her chest swelling. She glanced back disdainfully at the others, then joined the long-faced young man and the burly guy claiming to be the Wolf King. They headed to the final step together, then exited the fire trial.
Behind them, Yan Xiaobao, Big Fatty Zhang, and the third fatty clasped their hands together, bowing deeply.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoists. You're fish leaping over the dragon's gate, sprinting divine horses!"
The long-faced servant and the others stood atop the mountain, sowhat dazed. Although they were now Outer Sect disciples, for so reason, they didn't feel as joyful as they had imagined. Then they heard what Yan Xiaobao and the others had said and exchanged regretful glances with the long-faced young man and the burly servant.
On the other hand, Hou Xiaoi seed extrely thrilled. Her charming face even had a slight blush.
"I never imagined I, Hou Xiaoi, would encounter such luck," she thought with pride. Thus, the fire trial ended. As Hou Xiaoi went further, Zhang Dafei watched her, thoughtfully rubbing his chin.
"Ah, so fair, so young, so pure..." he said. Then he looked at Yan Xiaobao as if comparing the two.
Yan Xiaobao also looked at Hou Xiaoi in the distance, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. Then he heard Zhang Dafei and turned to find him watching from the corner of his eye.
"Hey, what are you looking at!?" he shouted.
Big Fatty Zhang laughed heartily at Yan Xiaobao's anger and then pulled out a pile of spirit stones, quickly changing the subject.
"Co, co, why don't we count our spirit stones? We're rich now! Hahaha! What a great idea."
"What's the point of counting them?" Yan Xiaobao said coldly. "No matter how many tis you do it, it won't change how many there are."
"Brother Ninth, you don't understand. All you see are spirit stones, but what you should be thinking about is... life." Big Fatty Zhang rarely spoke so deeply about life. Hearing him speak like that left Yan Xiaobao stunned. He picked up the bag to try calculating the spirit stones like Big Fatty Zhang, but soon got bored and handed the package back.
Just about that ti, a flash of light rose along the Fire Path. Everyone's vision swam, and when it cleared, they were back at the base of the mountain.
When the middle-aged Honorary Guard in charge of the trial saw Yan Xiaobao and the others, a strange expression appeared on his face. After a mont, he shook his head, ignoring them. As far as he was concerned, the sect would have to figure out how to handle the oven.
Yan Xiaobao and the others were tense, but seeing there was no imdiate reaction, they exchanged glances, cleared their throats, and then quickly returned to the oven.
