When Woon Seong stepped out from the exit of the passageway, a bright and dazzling light poured into his vision .

Woon Seong frowned slightly at the sudden flash of light that invaded the corners of his cornea .

He slowly opened his squinted eyes over time and adjusted to the lighting of the room he had entered .

What he saw was that the senior instructor from his Third Hall with some individuals standing side by side of equal strength .

However, the number of senior instructors was four times higher than usual .

'Not only has my senior instructor arrived, but I think the other instructors are the senior instructors from the first, second and fourth halls . '

Woon Seong moved his gaze slowly .

There was only one child who left the Trial of Life and Death closed door training before him .

The face attached to the boy who had completed the trial earlier than him was a new face he had not seen in the Third Hall he was a part of .

If he was a member of the same Hall as Woon Seong, he would have seen his face even if he was just a passerby, but that wasn't the case . .

It's not that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings or the other children . Sure, Woon Seong was rather isolative, but he just didn't see the boy before .

'I see . This is what must have happened . '

Woon Seong, who understood what was going on, knew why the other senior instructors were gathered .

The number of children who would pass through this trial of life and death, would probably number to only about 100 children if they were being generous with the numbers .

Since the trial itself was meant to cull the ones that would not be of use to the cult, it was only natural the numbers of the survivors would be low .

Hence, why there was no need to separate the children by different numbered halls anymore .

'The entire population making up the Cave of Latent Demons has gathered here . '

As Woon Seong looked around, one of the instructors stepped forward and looked at him .

"Hmm… . What number is that one?"

He was Sang In-Hyo, the general manager of the Cave of Latent Demons .

With the appearance of Sang-hyo, Woon Seong turned his head and looked at him . Then he reflexively gulped and swallowed his saliva as he stared at Sang In-Hyo .

'He… He's a Peak Realm Martial Artist'

Woon Seong's was barely above him in terms of strength when comparing his previous life's strength to the current Sang In-Hyo . The amount of strength Woon Seong currently had was maybe enough to fend off his attacks at best .

However, considering the circumstances, it was not worth finding out whether he could or not .

In any case, Sang In-Hyo was a Peak Realm martial artist who was on the verge of being a Transcendent Realm martial artist .

Of course there would be no need to worry about his strength with his previous life's body . Woon Seong might be wary of Sang In-Hyo at most back then .

According to the Realms of strength sorted out by the whole of Murim, Sang In-Hyo was at the threshold between Peak Realm and Transcendence, but Woon Seong was a full fledged Transcendent back then .

Right now however, Woon Seong felt he could exert the physical strength of a Peak Realm martial artist if he took off all his bracers .

But, there was no need to do that right now .

Did he notice that Woon Seong was measuring his strength? Sang In-Hyo grinned at Woon Seong .

His grin was devilish and would make anybody and their mother, faint on the spot .

"He is No . 900 . "

It was the senior instructor of the third hall that Woon Seong was a part of, that replied to Sang In-Hyo's question .

Sang In-Hyo nodded at the words and slowly scratched his chin .

"Oh, how interesting . This is the one is he? The one that has piqued the interest of the other senior instructors and has been achieving great things, no? . "

Woon Seong felt a curious gaze toward him .

As Woon Seong had just done earlier, Sang In-Hyo was now measuring the strength of Woon Seong .

Then he turned his head and compared the strength of Woon Seong to the child who had finished first .

Woon Seong was the second to arrive . However, the first child had his clothes in rags, whereas Woon Seong had not even a scratch on him .

Blood was even trickling out from wounds here and there .

Sang In-Hyo, who confirmed the strength of Woon Seong, smiled and murmured once more .

"He must be a blessing for the Cult . "

It was then that another entrance to the cave they were in, began to vibrate and open .

The next person to walk out was Ah-Young, who also knew Woon Seong from the Third Hall .

She grew up to be an unrecognizable beauty, and her hair was a little messy, perhaps after a fierce battle or it was just her natural tomboyish nature .

"Oh, my?"

She recognized Woon Seong and waved her hand at him . Woon Seong saw this, snorted and looked away feigning ignorance .

She was curious about Woon Seong before, but her interest had become even more riled up ever since Woon Seong had killed No . 185 and his 5 other lackeys with utter ease .

He, in her eyes, was a sleek and fit boy with long wavy blue hair and eyes that were cold like a serpent's .

She knew Woon Seong, but the first child she did not recognize, and one other child was just entering as well .

They didn't know it other than Sang In-Hyo, but these were the three children that had entered aside from Woon Seong, and had established themselves very early on in the Cave of Latent Demons .

Of course, there was one more person… Woon Seong, the dark horse of sorts .

No . 900 wasn't worth much in the beginning in the eyes of the instructors, but he started growing at a frightening pace with a higher learning curve than all the other 3 children, combined .

In any case, all 4 of them at the same time flinched as they examined each other's strengths . They knew these other 3 people aside themselves, were the other elites from the Cave of Latent Demons .

Starting with them, more children passed through their own trials of life and death hall one-by-one . When the door finally closed, there were a total of 89 people .

"Hmmm, I think there's quite a lot . It seems you all were able to pass . "

Sang In-Hyo quickly summed up the deaths of the children who had died .

He was addressing the children who went crazy and couldn't stand the solitude of the training and went crazy .

"Well, you did a good job anyway . You've now gained the titles of Demonic Captains by passing through this trial of life and death . Congratulations . "

A Demonic Captain .

Woon Seong recalled just how many Demonic Captains there were in relationship to the entire Cult of the Heavenly Demon . If one looked throughout the entire Cult of the Heavenly Demon, there were only about 2,000 of them .

The young men and women from the Cave of Latent Demons, who now had just finished their closed door training, were officially part of those 2,000 Demonic Captains within the Cult .

It seemed this was just one of the reasons for the Cave of Latent Demons, Woon Seong thought .

Considering the Senior Instructors of the Cave of Latent Demons were Demonic Generals and Sang In-Hyo was a Great Demon, it was a great boon for the Cult of the Heavenly Demon .

"...there seem to be a few who are good enough to even be called Demonic Generals, but you must all be tired from exiting your closed door training . "

Sang In-Hyo smiled widely as he looked at 4 children among the 89 there . They were the first four children to arrive from their closed door training . No . 17, No . 01, No . 109 and lastly… . No . 900 .

This was the Cave of Latent Demons, and it would be an amazing blessing if Sang In-Hyo was able to produce even a single Demonic General .

However, forget one . He had four of those individuals!

"For you, the teachers have personally given you a prize . So just for today, you can eat proper meals and enjoy yourself as much as you'd like . "

When he stomped his foot lightly, a sweet, greasy and aromatic smell began to start emanating in the air .

The trainees turned their heads toward the source of the smell in unison, and servants carrying multiple bright and beautiful dishes that were enough to even make the Emperor drool in satisfaction, were being brought out .
