The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 289 CHAPTER 288: The Trial-4

A muscular, handsome youth who seemed to be in his early 20s was currently standing alone on the training ground of the Secret Dragon Society. It was Gou Jing, the Chief of the Secret Dragon Society.

The training ground lay on the easternmost tallest mountain top. Chief Gou Jing had been glancing over down for 2 and half hours by now.

"Hmm, this boy is good. So he still manages to reach half the distance, taking no toll on him at all. It seemed like the boy had an unlimited supply of essence qi in his dantian. Fine, I will increase the intensity of my aura by double times." Chief Gou Jing muttered to himself and shouted, "Hah!" The next moment, the force field of his aura which covered a circular area of 1 mile radius with himself as the center strengthened its pressure by double fold.

After an hour, he saw Joey reach the foot of the very mountain and it took another half hour to reach the training ground which was at the top of this mountain.

"Good boy!" "You are way much better than I thought. From today onward, I will personally start teaching you everything I know. But before that I need to know something. Tell me, boy, what are you fighting for? And what is your goal for becoming stronger?" Chief Gou Jing praised him first and asked with a serious tone.

"I have only one goal in this life." "To kill all those bastards from the Beast Tamer family." Joey responded.

Chief Gou Jing frowned a bit and quickly returned to his usual expression. "Fine, boy, come here and give me your sword." Then soon he began guiding Joey from the basic first.

Like that, for a week, he taught Joey various fighting techniques every morning.

On the 13th day, Joey and Chief Gou Jing spar with swords. They separated after a long bout.

"Boy, I'm done teaching you. I have taught everything I know to you. It's time for you to go on field trips from now onward. Go and take a day off. You are starting your missions in 2 days. "

Joey bowed to the man slightly. Chief Gou disappeared into thin air.

After 2 days, he went on his first mission, which was to kill a group of bandits in a nearby village to their headquarters. It was a group mission, and he gained his title of The Swift Slasher on this first mission, as he alone killed all of 25 bandits on his own before his team could even start.

After that incident, he was then assigned to every solo mission as no one liked to team up with him as he alone got all the credit points.

A year passed quickly, and the reputation of The Swift Slasher of the Secret Dragon Society became known to everyone, wide and corner of the world.

"Sister Chun Churan, if this mission is not under your leadership, I will never join this joint mission at all." Joey said.

"I know. You always like to fly solo, right?" "But this mission is the most crucial mission for our Secret Dragon Society. So the higher-ups are grouping all the best agents for these missions." Chun Churan replied.

A baldy who seemed to be same age as Joey appeared beside them and asked, "So, who are selected on this mission, anyway?"

"Baldy Cao!" Joey called.

"Oh, my-my, the famous Swift Slasher Joey is also on this mission. Hahaha, this mission will be an interesting one." Baldy Cao spoke, looking at Joey with a strong desire to fight.

The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind Joey and hacked over his head with an axe. Joey was even quicker. He caught the sharp edge of the axe with his right hand. Then he kicked on Baldy Cao's stomach.

Baldy Cao blocked his kicked with his two hands covering his chest while leaving the axe in Joey's hand. Despite that, he was forced to take several steps back.

Joey took a step and appeared behind Baldy Cao and tried to hack over him.

Clank!

Chun Churan suddenly appeared and blocked the strike with her long sword.

"Stop, Brother Joey! We are not here to fight with each other." She said.

"Fine." Joey said and threw away the axe on the ground beside Baldy Cao. He then moved away and said, "Next time, if you want to spar with me, just ask first. Otherwise, I will cut your head off."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

An odd pair of petite and fatty also appeared out of nowhere, clapping their hands. They were the famous twin brothers, Cheng Pu and Cheng Yu. The petite Cheng Pu wore a green Daoist robe while the fatty Cheng Yu wore a simple white Daoist robe. Both of them wore a mask. Fatty Cheng Yu carried a long saber, almost twice his height. But it fit him perfectly with his figure.

"Hahaha, Baldy Cao, didn't I warn you already that never tried to challenge the Swift Slasher? You are way out of your league. Hmm, you can't even defeat me." Cheng Pu, the petite one, spoke with a smirked.

"Damn you, Cheng Pu. If not for your fatty brother helping you that day, I would have at least given you a deep scar on your back. Hmm, at least I have the guts to challenge the Swift Slasher. What about you?" Boldly Cao retorted, while picking up the axe from the ground.

"Bahahaha, you called that a challenge. From what I see, that is just a failed sneak attack." Cheng Pu mocked, laughing at him.

"What did you just say? Cheng Pu, I hereby challenge you to a duel. Do you even dare to fight alone with me?" Bold Cao shouted at him, waving his axe at him.

"Why not?!" "Cheng Yu, give me my blade. I will cut one of his hands off today." Cheng Pu said and stretched out his hand toward his fatty brother.

"You two. Just stop here. If you want to fight each other, then you can continue after this mission." Chun Churan interrupted, pressing both of them with her aura. "Alright, gather here. Since everyone is here, I shall start briefing you all on the details of this mission." She then took out an envelope from inside her space ring, tore it, and took out a piece of paper. They saw the drawing of a middle-aged man and some kind of key in the shape of a miniature black dragon.

"See, this is the Black Dragon key. Our mission is to retrieve this particular key. It is in the details that this very key is in the hand of this man." Chu Churan further continued, "It is reported by our spies in Chu Yang City that they spotted the trail of this man a few days before. So we are all going to Chu Yang City now. Any question?"

"Chu Yang City, the city of joy. Fine, I always like to visit it." Boldly Cao said.

"That means you don't have questions." Chun Churan took out a toy size carriage from inside her space ring. She then infused her essence qi inside and threw it in the air. The moment it was in the air, it transformed into a large flying carriage. "Alright, get on the carriage. We are all leaving for Chu Yang City."

Boldly Cao put the axe inside her space ring. He then flew up in the air and entered the flying carriage.

The twin brothers were the next to get inside the flying carriage.

"Brother Joey, let's go too." Chun Churan said to Joey.

Joey nodded at her. The next moment, they disappeared from that spot and reappeared inside the carriage.

The flying carriage started flying and sped up at an astonishing speed. Soon, it disappeared from the Headquarter of the Secret Dragon Society.

After traveling for two days without stopping, the flying carriage reached Chu Yang City. They landed just before the city and entered inside it and first met one of their spies in a rundown tavern. They learned the current residence of the man.

​ After that, their group of five came to an isolated place and soon found the house.

"Alright, I will go inside alone." Joey said and entered the house.

Inside the house, a man was currently sitting on a chair while drinking tea. He turned around and said, " You can come out now. I know you are here. " It was the exact man who they were looking for.

Joey appeared from thin air.

"Oh, you must be from the Secret Dragon Society." "Boy, have a seat first?" The man said to him with a friendly smile.

Joey sat on the chair just opposite him. Then he asked, "So you know that I'm from the Secret Dragón Society. That means you must have already known my proposal of visiting you."

"Yeah, I know you want the Black Dragon key, right?" The man replied casually and took a sip of the tea.

"Do you have it?"

"Yes, I have it. But, before we come to the proper business. Have some tea. You are a guest to me, after all." The man said with a smile.
