I Am The Young Master

Chapter 92: A ring and a sword

——(POV third person)——

The ring on the table didn't look any different from what you might find as a base ring that they use in creating all sorts of artifacts. What was extraordinary about it was what the [Peeping eye of heaven] showed Li Huang.

This ring was created from a metal that Li Huang has never heard of, and he is pretty sure that this metal is either unknown to the world or doesn't exist here at all. The metal is called living metal, this metal is so rare that even with memories that peeping eye of heaven has from all sorts of treasures, it is still considered a rare treasure.

This metal is very resilient and is really hard to destroy and even if you can destroy it, it has the ability to heal itself as if it is living. This makes this metal the best option for creating a defensive gear if one has enough of it to do so and that is a big if.

The ring on the table with the living metal as its base ingredient houses many inscriptions that Li Huang knows by heart. No, Li Huang has no experience or knowledge in this profession but he has something else that provided him with the necessary knowledge. He has so many storage rings that he knows what inscriptions are the basic components in a formation that creates the storage space.

Knowing that much, he didn't doubt that this ring is a storage ring. For him who was paranoid about his storage rings breaking or something, this reward is more valuable than whatever else he could get.

"Hehehe." Li Huang couldn't hide the creepy smile that was forming on his face. He didn't hesitate and put the ring on his finger. He bound the storage ring to him by injecting a strand of Qi into it and then he proceeded to check the ring's contents.

'Who knows, maybe there is some good stuff there…' Li Huang thought and checked the ring's contents and he was astonished by the sheer capacity of this storage ring as it was many times more spacious than all his backup rings combined. After the initial astonishment, he couldn't be more disappointed about the content of the ring as it was garbage, to say the least.

'What are these? Did they put these here as a prank? I mean what is the purpose of this chair—' Li Huang was thinking about the items that he found in this ring when he suddenly remembered something. Every item that he found in it are the exact same items that he put in place of the treasures that he pocketed when he was in the test.

'So I was inside this ring all the time that I was in that empty space.' Li Huang thought with shock and a wide smile. Although it was ironic to be inside the ring all this time this also proved to him two important things.

"I can store living things in this ring…" He was almost sure about it but he could put it to test later so it wasn't something that was hard to figure out.

"…Also I can put storage rings inside it." He couldn't be happier with this. He knows that he can put storage rings in there because he had his storage rings on him when he was in that so-called test. This feature might not be so useful as you can't work with the items that you are carrying as easily as you could when there were all in a single storage. Still, this could come in handy in some situations like when you have lots of food; it is better to have a single storage ring in there instead of a mountain of food.

Looking around this small room, Li Huang didn't see anything else that was of importance so he went toward the door to finish his long test.

"I wonder how are Hu Anjing and the others." He said and he got out of that room.

The moment he walked out he was back in this stage's main room that was filled with all these doors. From the corner of his eyes he saw that one of the disciples opened a door and went inside. It was just now that Li Huang understood that only a fraction of a second has passed from the time he entered his door and no one other than him has finished their test.

'Well, look at the bright side, two years could have passed for real…' He thought as he decided to practice throwing some shurikens in the meantime.

——(POV Hu Anjing, inside the test)——

Right at the moment I put my feet down, my surrounding change to one filled with swords. The swords around me were planted in the ground. It looked like our heavenly sword sect's Sword Valley.

Looking at all these swords, I could see that they were not in the best conditions as most of them were chipped or on the verge of breaking. There was only one sword that caught my eyes and that was a Dadao sword (A/N: Chinese great sword) on top of a hill.

'That would be great for me.' My eyes practically shone when I saw it as if it was fate for me to wield it. Now I understand why this room was calling to me.

The moment I moved one step I felt pressure on my body. Looking around now I understood that these swords are forming a sword formation that applies pressure on you until you can't move anymore. From what I can guess the pressure is only going to increase as I get closer to the Dadao sword.

'So this is my test…' I thought with a grin. This test couldn't be easier for me.

Using the full force of my body cultivation I walked as if I was taking a stroll. The pressure increased each step but for me, it wasn't even worth noting as it was insignificant no matter how much it increased.

It went like that until I was 10 steps away from the sword. Suddenly the pressure increase at least a hundredfold and I could feel my knee bending a little.

'Now it is getting interesting.' With every step, the pressure was getting heavier and heavier.

Only one step was left and I could touch the sword but the pressure was so much that I wasn't sure if I could make it— at least I couldn't do it like this.

It was obvious that the sword was hard to get but Hu Anjing was also a tough nut to crack.

This is the time for my training in [Mortal body transcendence formation] to show results. I moved my Qi into the body formation paths and the pressure was lifted from my body as if it wasn't there to begin with.

Taking the final step I reached the sword and gripped the hilt of the sword with my hands. The sword seemed planted firmly in the ground but I didn't give up and used all my power.

My feet sank to the ground but I did it, I had the sword in my hand. From what I could guess this sword was at least a rank 1 True Spirit Treasure.

Looking around I located the exit door and walked toward it. This sword was all I cared for so I didn't want to waste any more time here.
