“Where the fuck am I now?” Ling Xuan opened his eyes and found himself in a worn down stone structure surrounded by greenery. “ This is the second time this day.” Ling Xuan grimaced. He suddenly noticed that the Masked Man from before was approaching him. “Ah so you are already awake eh ? Nice, very nice, youths must be awake early or else what will be the differentiating factor between them and old people !” The Masked Man started rambling. As Ling Xuan heard this, he couldn’t help but be reminded of a certain Shang Zhang. “Senior, excuse me for asking but do you know Shang Zhang ?” Ling Xuan couldn’t help but ask “Hmm, Shang Zhang you say ?” The Masked Man touched his chin as if in deep contemplation before shaking his head. “Nope never heard of the guy.” “ I see, thank you senior.” Ling Xuan prepared to kowtow but as he tried standing up he couldn’t help but fumble. “Ah ! You should be careful Junior, the drug is still in your system and will take a while to be completely expelled. This is why your waking up surprised me a bit after all to be able to form coherent thoughts is already something let alone speak.” The Masked Man helped Ling Xuan sit again, this time with his back resting against a piece of rubble. “Close your eyes and sleep for a while. This test is going to be a hard one, you understand ?” Ling Xuan closed his eyes and let the sleep take over him. Seeing this the Masked Man nodded and went away Ling Xuan let himself drift into sleep or rather that was what he managed to convince the Masked Man. “Kanuya !” —------------------ Carto opened his eyes to see the library was larger than before yet a part of the shelves were chained with no lock. “Huh ! What happened ?” Carto was undoubtedly confused when suddenly a book appeared from the darkness outside the library shooting straight for Carto yet stopped right before his face. As Carto got a better look he realised It was leather bound and on it were a few words which were probably its title. The Reliable Log of The Library Suddenly the floating book’s pages started turning rapidly, Carto was able to read a few words while it was turning yet it was gibberish to him. Then the pages stopped turning and on a blank page words started to be inscribed. [ Due to the merging of two souls from different planes, the library was assaulted by waves of information by the original host of the body which contained the plane’s laws, to avoid being contaminated. The library has temporarily sealed the information. It is currently filtering the information from the laws and within a few minutes will be able to purge it. For now the Library will be under lock] As soon as the log had completed generating, it quickly flew back into the void. Carto suddenly felt something pulling him. “What the !” Before Carto could check, he disappeared from the Library. —--------------------------------- Ling Xuan opened his eyes and sighed. “Looks like I can only now wait.” He could feel that the drug in his body was getting weaker by the moment and soon would be expelled. He noticed that around him, more examinees were waking up with some of them starting to stand. “Looks like the library made the relative time between itself and the world stretch.” Ling Xuan deduced. He then saw a familiar figure heading towards while limping, it was Xiao Kang ! “Brother Xuan ! How do you do ! It has been quite some time since we’ve met” Xiao Kang cheerily asked. “Oh I’m quite fine, how about you?” Ling Xuan asked. “Well I’m quite fine except for my leg.” Xiao Kang laughed while caressing his leg. “Oh what happened ? I saw you limping while coming towards me.” Ling Xuan frowned and asked. “Well you see during the first test, I fought with a wrestler although I managed to kill him, he managed to twist my ankle before dying.” Xiao Kang's face became solemn. “ I see a pity then, yet at least you not only survived but were also awarded 10 points.” Ling Xuan sighed, he knew that when it came to a youth fighting a grown
