Fatty Zhang was trembling.
"So low..." he said. Then he took a deep breath and slapped his thigh. A light never seen before appeared in his eyes. The thod Yan Xiaobao described wasn't very complicated; in fact, it was quite simple. It was just a different way of thinking that was easy to understand once spoken out loud. However, before it was explained, it actually went against what everyone else had thought.
Fatty Zhang seed to be in a state of spiritual enlightennt. It was as if a door had been opened, leading to a whole new way of life. He couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
The Third Fatty Hei excitedly stomped a foot, his face full of either embarrassnt or excitent. "It can't get any lower than this! Hahaha!"
As the other fatties ca to understand, they began to get excited. Panting, they couldn't help but stare at Yan Xiaobao, more admiring than ever.
"Great idea! Let's get started!"
"Do sothing crazy! Those bastards from the Supervision Departnt have persecuted us into poverty for years. Thankfully, Ninth Junior Brother is here now. Let's do it!" Then, they began excitedly discussing the details of how to execute such a plan.
After ensuring there was nothing they had overlooked, they decided to try out their plan in the fire trial of the next month. Fatty Zhang happily patted his thigh.
"Tonight is snack night!"
The exciting conversation filled the roasting oven. The next month was one of extre enthusiasm. In fact, for safety's sake, everyone spent ti practicing cultivation, sothing that rarely happened. Finally, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the fire trial day.
Eventually, it ca.
Sunlight shone brightly in the morning sky. A scene never before seen appeared beneath the three peaks on the South Shore of Spirit Stream Sect. At the entrance of each path leading to the mountains, astonishingly, there were three black frying pans.
A closer inspection revealed that underneath those black frying pans were very powerful fatties. The sight was indeed impressive.
These were the nine mbers of the Roasting Oven, and in fact, it was their first ti participating in the fire trial of the peak servants. Just as they had planned, three of them went to three peaks.
A large number of servants rushed to the peaks from all directions, cracking their knuckles, looking extrely excited. Many of these servants had attempted to pass the fire trial multiple tis but ultimately failed. For others, it was their first ti participating. Everyone was excited and nervous, hoping they could beco an Outer Sect disciple as swiftly as a divine galloping horse.
As they approached each peak, they saw the fatties of the Roasting Oven.
"The oven? What are they doing here?"
"I've been a servant for nine years, and I've participated in thirty fire trials. This is the first ti I've ever seen people from the oven..." The other servants were stunned and started spreading the news. Soon, everyone was talking about the fact that at all three peaks, there were people from the Roasting Oven waiting for the fire trial.
"This is huge! I can't believe that the oven people are competing for a spot in the Outer Sect. What's going on...?"
Yan Xiaobao, Fatty Zhang, and the Third Fatty waited at the base of the third peak. When they heard the exclamations of shock from the other servants, they didn't react at all. In fact, their faces were calm, it almost seed like they were traveling through space and completely oblivious to all the conversations around them.
They were utterly focused on the starting line of the fire trial. To them, this wasn't a path of fiery trials; instead, it was a glowing path leading to spirit stones.
Yan Xiaobao looked particularly serious, his eyes deep in thought.
Soon, a figure could be seen coming down from the three peaks. The person who landed near Yan Xiaobao and the others was a middle-aged man with an aura of extraordinary presence. As he descended beside the starting line, the first thing he noticed was the big fatty Zhang Shan.
He then looked at Yan Xiaobao and the Third Fatty Hei. The man was the adjudicator of the fire trial, and at the mont, his heart was filled with surprise.
"Did the sun rise from the east today?" he thought. "People from the oven usually would rather die than beco an Outer Sect disciple. What's going on?"
After blinking a few tis to ensure he wasn't seeing things, an encouraging expression appeared on the man's face. He flicked his sleeve and began to speak, his voice echoing in all directions.
"Let's begin the trial to beco an Outer Sect disciple... Start!" Without another word, the sect began to move. At the sa ti, the starting line of the fire trial lit up, signaling the event had begun.
In an instant, Big Fatty Zhang shot forward, his face showing extre focus. As he raced toward the stone steps leading up the mountain, he kicked up a massive wind, moving so fast that you might think he was being chased by a ravenous beast.
The Third Fatty Hei also leaped up behind Big Fatty Zhang, his eyes filled with a fierce light that seed to indicate anyone who tried to overtake him was threatening his life.
In third place was Yan Xiaobao, who moved up the path as quickly as a rabbit, with nothing but longevity pills to prolong life. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were racing madly up the path.
All of this happened so quickly that the other servants barely had ti to react. Their faces fell instantly, and they gritted their teeth as they climbed up the path, beginning their ascent to the mountain peak.
