Old man's test

Old man's test

The man looked at Bai Chen and this time Bai Chen felt that thousands of swords were driven through him. The pain he felt was really intense but as a soldier that had gone through hell in his previous life, he endured it. With gnashing teeth, he withstood the pain that racked his body.

"So do you still want to know?" he asked slowly. "Yes. I still want to know!" Bai Chen shouted with unwavering determination.

The old man was surprised and then the glow in his eyes intensified. Bai Chen now felt more pain, it was many times painful than the one before. It was agonizing. Bai Chen felt that he was in a meat grinder as his eyes turned red and green veins bulge from his temple.

After many minutes, the overwhelming sensation of pain he felt disappeared like it was never there before. Bai Chen at the moment had collapsed to the ground. He was covered up in sweat and blood could be seen streaming down the sides of his lips. He had bit his tongue and had gnashed his teeth so hard his gums had begun to bleed.

The pain he went through was extremely traumatizing. He stood up and looked at the old man with his hands clasped. "Do I qualify now?" he asked respectfully.

"Hmm. You have a strong will. You have qualified." then the man stood up and walked closer to Bai Chen. He stretched his palms and a golden scroll appeared inn his hand.

Bai Chen was shocked again. The old man just teleported something to his hands from nowhere. The man's action caused his eyes to glow in amazement.

"Here. Take this." The old man said. Bai Chen respectfully bowed. Then he took the golden scroll in the old man's hand.

Then the old man walked towards the door of the house. Bai Chen saw that the old man was about to leave and he quickly asked "Senior, thanks for the scroll. Can I know what senior's name is?" he wholeheartedly thanked him and politely asked.

"Nameless" the old man smiled and said. "Huh? Okay, I got that, senior nameless. What are you doing here?" he asked like he was a child.

"Hiding from the rain boy. Am leaving now, take care of yourself". The man said with a smile. Then he pointed his hand and a wide white ray of light shot out of it.

This ray of light cut the fabric of space in front of him wide open. Another region could be seen at the other end of this spatial laceration. He stepped into it and the cut healed up.

Bai Chen's eyes was wide open in shock. The old man just cut space open and vanished from here after he stepped into it. He couldn't believe what his eyes saw.

He looked at the furled golden scroll in his hand. Then he nodded his head. This was his first step to become a powerful person.

When the rain stopped, he jumped out of the house and began to run home.

........

Bai Chen's mom, Bai Ling was greatly worried. It had been thirty minutes now and her son wasn't back yet. She was already outside her house and looking into the distance. She was here for twenty minutes but she couldn't see any sign of Bai Chen.

This caused her heart to begin to beat irregularly. Had the raging flood washed away her son? Just as her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, she saw her son running over from the distance completely drenched in rainwater.

Her mind rapidly calmed and anger surfaced in her face. Bai Chen could see his mom infuriated expression when he came closer. He knew he was in it this time but it was worth it. Although he would face her anger, he had been gifted something great.

"Mom. I kept you worried about me and I am very sorry" he said pleadingly. His voice was very sweet to his mom's ear. She just couldn't bring herself to hit him hard on the head. The instant he apologized, her heart melted.

"Come here" she said lovingly. Then she took him into the house. "I know you are very hungry. You have been out for four hours. Your belly must be rioting by now right?" she asked with a doting Smile. Bai Chen smiled back "yes mom." Then his mom offered him something to eat.

"Hey! Where did you go in the rain? Mom has been worried sick about you?" Bai Meixue said the moment she came out of her room. "Nowhere of course. I just jogged for a long time before I got caught up in the rain." Bai Chen said.

Bai Meixue had now grown into a beautiful young woman. She was twenty-two now while her other sister, Bai Yun was now twenty as she was thirteen, seven years ago.

Both sisters had grown into charming young women and had bodily features that would cause men to lust over them such as their hour-glass figures, bubble bottoms and globes. They developed pretty fast.

When Bai Chen finished his meal. He dashed to his room. "Look at this.. this child, he couldn't even take his plate along with him" Bai Meixue said in an angry tone. "Leave him, I would take it with me" her mother said. "Mom, you are overpamering him" Bai Meixue said. Her mother gazed at her "Is he your son? Leave him and let me pamper him." Bai Ling said.
