With nothing but a void look in his eyes a boy clothed with a silk robe looked how three youths carried stones the size of pigs while panting .
Naturally one of them was bruno who could carry a squeezed stone at once . Compared to the two outer disciple who worked together to carry one stone he is twice as fast .
Their once beautiful clothes are now nothing more than tatterns .
After watching for a while the boy walked away in search of some librarys .
Once he left people could hear curses from the three teenagers .
"Why do i have to be so unlucky ? I will never talk any bullshit anymore !" wailed a youth while wiping his sweat away .
"Well it is good training . Even though it is extremely hard ." smiled an older youth .
*Pant* *Pant*
"Stop talking and carry faster !" shouted Bruno while kicking them .
Walking past some disciples the boy walked into one of the many librarys in the sect in search of some useful information .
Nobody stopped him from entering , after all the precious scrolls are only for the true sect members . How could a little inner disciple get access to it ? Especially one that the patriach of mysty peaks looks after .
Looking through the books the boy could find out the inner structure of fallen leave sect .
Nine branches , each named after a different peak . Every peak has a different patriarch , together they form the council of fallen leave sect .
One would believe that fallen leave sect is an independent sect , however the boy knew more information : it is only a branch of a way bigger sect .
Just as he wanted to look for some useful informations he saw how a young man impressed a girl with his power while talking with pride : "I'm already at the peak first grade !"
The mouth of the boy formed a sneer , peak first grade ? Does the youth truly believe he will get any better second or even third grade ?
For common people who will never pass the path towards a new power realm numbers of the amount are a way better index of power .
0 grade are normal humans .
Once a people reached 1000 one will arrive at the first grade .
10 000 and one will be one the second grade .
100 000 , third grade .
1 million , fourth grade .
10 million , fifth grade .
100 million , sixth grade .
1 billion , seventh grade .
10 billion , eight grade .
100 billion , ninth grade .
Past these 100 billions amount of spiritual energy even the boy doesn't know what for path awaits .
In his past life he lived for about 500 years , combining that with ruthless robbing for ressources as well as his daily cultivation with a talent of 13 he only reached about 5 million spiritual power . So about middle 4th grade .
4th grade doesn't seemed high , however people who lived long enough got strong cards in case of emergencys .
Thus it wouldn't be suprised if a 4th or 5th grade would be able to kill a 6th or 7th grade . Naturally the weaker side needed a lot of preparation , for example exhausting the opponent with puppets , or fighting in situation where the opponent is supressed .
After the young man received a slap by the girl the boy turned towards some of the basic magic scrolls .
Looking through the scrolls the boy could only come to the conclusion that these skills are pretty much useless for him .
They pay way too much for safety . A single safe fireball need triple the amount compared to a normal fireball . Even then , the safe fireball only got the advantage that the caster won't get burned by his own fire or get a rebound .
If you are wondering how much a fireball with the radius of an arm costs , it would be around 333 spirit units . A safe fireball would cost about 1000 , the same amount of a new 1th grade .
Coming to the conclusion that all these books follow the principle "safety first !" , the boy stopped his search for any useful books . Thinking that his 3 helpers should already carried a good amount of stones towards his cave the boy smiled . Finally he will get some real protection !
Meanwhile at the place where the 3 helpers carry stones :

"Wuhaahahahah , what are you doing Bruno ? Doing some basic stone carry training ?" laughed an elegant youth with a fan . Around him is a group of disciples who all tried to fawn over the youth .
The face of Bruno started to become red like a tomato , however he didn't cursed back . Instead he continued to carry the stones while sweat drenched his entire body .
One of the outer disciple wanted to help Bruno and wanted to curse bad , however the older one stopped him while whispering : "Stop it Yun Che , even if your Yun Family is quite a force in Fallen leave sect you can't compare to one of the three major familys !"
Sweat poured of Yun Che's head while whispering : "Thanks for the reminder Leylin ."
After this conversation both continued to carry one stone together .
More and more disciples gathered to watch Bruno , a true warrior disciple carrying stones . Not only that , he seemed to suffer and sweat like he carried some dead weight with him .
"Is he truly a true disciple ? Even i as from the magus branch would be able to carry pig sized stones , and he is a true warrior ? Pff hahahah , then my sister is an inner warrior disciple !" laughed one disciple .
"Yeah , who even guided him ? Can't even carry stones , why do we have such useless teachers ?" sighed a disciple who got unlucky with his own teacher .
Just as the count numbered thousands , an elder of the warrior branch rushed towards the place where Bruno and the two outer disciple carried stones .
It wasn't a coincidence that the elder dashed towards the place with full speed , he is the supervisor of the true warrior disciples . Not only that , one of his personal disciple is Bruno !
"Why does this little boy carry stones from one place to another ? And then even dare to sweat ! Do you want to drag your reputation down ?" cursed the elder while running so fast that his legs almost became blurry .
Arriving in front of the scene everyone bowed while shouting : "We greet elder !"
Normally the elder would nod happily and respond with one or two comment , this time however he rushed towards Bruno as soon as he saw him .
Arriving in front of Bruno he could see that Bruno really only carried pig sized stones . Not only that , even two outer disciple carried a single stone together without even sweating ! That's a disgrace for the whole warrior branch !
However Bruno didn't even noticed the elder , people get immersed once they only do one thing and Bruno is a one the macho warriors who liked to train for days and admire their muscles in front of the mirror or in water ponds . Thus Brunos brain only send out one message towards his body : "CARRY !" "CARRY!" "CARRY!"
Red veins could be seen on the elders face . Just as the anger wanted to explode Leylin began to talk : "Greet elder ! What do you want from senior brother Bruno ?"
Remembering the fact that thousands of disciple watched him the elder lightly coughed : "Since you two are carrying stones you certainly know why Bruno is drenched in sweat right now . Did he fight before or did he do a training regim before that ?"
For a short moment a smile could be seen on Leylins face , however he responded : "No elder , Bruno started carrying stones this morning . Now he is drenched with sweat because the stones are too heavy ."
The eyes of the elder twitched while looking at Leyling , now he couldn't shift Brunos exhaust towards some other reasons .
"However Bruno carried more than 50 squeezed stones from the sect quarry towards the outskirt of the city where an inner disciples lives who wanted Bruno to carry the stones ." added Leylin .
'What ? How dare an inner disciple command our warrior branch ?' thought the elder while turning towards Leyling : "... You mean squeezed stone from the sect quarry towards the outskirt , and that for 50 times today ?"
"Yes great elder , the inner disciple commanded both of us to help senior Brother since we said something against him . However he tried to reason it as training for senior brother Bruno so the materials will be send in front of his cave !" smiled Yun Che while hoping to witness how the elder would punish this little cocky bastard .
But the elder didn't cursed the inner disciple , instead he smiled . Grabbing Bruno in front of him , causing him to awake from his stance and saying : "Greetings teacher !"
Realizing that thousands of disciple looked at the group of 4 battle cause him to feel emberassed .
"All students who dare to laugh over Bruno follow me !" shouted the elder while adding : "I won't punish those , however they have to do the same training for Bruno . After all it seems like they envy him !"
Arriving in front of the sect quarry Bruno didn't know what to do . However the elder said : "Continue your task from the inner disciple , it will be your training for now ."
At first Bruno believed that the inner disciple would lie about how carrying the stones would train him , however he experienced the exhaust , thus he saluted towards his teacher while taking a new squeezed stone and carrying it towards the outskirts .
The elder turned towards the other disciples and said : "Each one of you take a pig sized stone like Bruno and follow him ."
Everyone followed the command , however rejoiced inside : "What for an easy task , will we get true disciple if we finish it ?"
But their dreams shattered , as the elder said : "Search for a squeezed stone , after all Bruno carried more than 50 this day already ."
Wut the f*ck ? Do you believe that squeezed stones are light ? They are stones with way higher density . More than 30x the weight of a normal stone , do you want to kill us ?
Now many disciple wailed , however they only could follow and take a stone while following Bruno .
Many of the unluckys wondered why the outer disciples who should carried a squeezed stone didn't sweat , maybe the distance is short and they only did it once or twice ?
The answer is the pair of outer disciples only carried a single squeezed stone the entire day !
At first many disciples could hold a squeezed stone , after all holding one for a short while was in no way a problem for inner disciple or even outer disciples .
But after a while they only could panting look how the distance they had to walk got longer and longer .
One hundred meters , two hundred meters , one kilometer .
Soon the first disciple started to ask question like : "When are we there ? Why is it so far away ?"
In the end many people started to sweat , the elegant youth with the fan long stopped to look elegant . Sweat drenched his clothes as he only could curse himself for being a speed type warrior !
The elder looked how the disciples cursed their heavy stones and the long way they have to walk .
"Not bad , maybe i should talk with this inner disciple . With a good chance he is from the magus branch if he need materials . It's not a bad idear getting the warriors to carry heavy materials . It will be their training while helping the one who needs the ressources ."
mumbled the teacher while looking at the long train of youths carrying stones .
This is one day got written down in the sects history , the creation of the so called "Hell Path" the training units which caused many disciple to tremble in fear !
