Fan Huang is currently sitting in front of the Water Weaving Martial art school in meditating position.
Doing nothing...
Fan Huang was surprised at first but thought it was a joke until the old man put on a scary face. Fan Huang knew he was serious and did as he asked. It has currently been 1 hour since he's started and he can say that it's actually worse than you think. He was meditating directly in front of the dojo so people who wee walking by could see him and therefore people were interested why Fan Huang as like this. There was occasionally people who walked by and looked at him with looks of curiosity and some laughed at him and made fun of him. Due to his incredibly strong body that is much better than others he could hear what they were saying. After a while he had figured out that the name of the elder was Wang. He had heard a rumor about elder Wang that Elder Wag had never left the dojo since the day he entered.
Fan Huang was alarmed at this and talked to Yao Yang bout this and they both speculated that he was a cultivator just like Fan Huang.
"I estimate he is around Foundation establishment, if you try to start a fight with him he will crush you with his breath alone. I am very weak right now so I can't probe anyone's cultivation but I can only make guesses."
Fan Huang continued his days of sitting and doing nothing. At the start of sitting down he had tried meditating but some unknown force was stopping him from cultivating or circulating his qi. It was very mysterious and it was like you were in chains. Fan Huang after a couple of days started to not just think of nothing, the scenery, the people, the sounds. He listened to every detail very attentively. If you can not find anything to do then make yourself something to do. Fan Huang began to appreciate the surrounding area. Even the most common and boring scenery can beautiful. after enough time.
After another couple of days he had now completely gone into a mode of focus. He listened to the footsteps, people's breathing, the ant's crawling on the ground and water dripping off the leaves onto the ground. The days slowly went by and the scenery only became more and more beautiful within his eyes.
Then on the very last day Fan Huang could hear a sound he hadn't heard before. This sound was the sound of very light footsteps that were very faint. Only by Fan Huang being in this state could he barely hear these footsteps. The footsteps came from behind him and could tell they were coming from the dojo so he knew it was elder Wang mentioned earlier by the people on the street.
"It seems, this might have been too easy of a test so far for you. I knew i should've made it a year, it's too late now but! I am one hundred percent sure that in the next hour you will fail", Elder Wang walked step by step to Fan Huang with his eyes closed.
Fan Huang was unsure of what elder Wang was thinking in his head and he knew all he had to do was just sit here for a couple more hours and then he will have sit here for a month and will have completed the first part of the test like he said. He would like to see what this elder had in store for him.
Fan Huang could then see elder Wang walk to the front entrance and stare at the crowd for a couple of breaths. People who were walking by all looked at elder Wang in shock and started gossiping.
"Why is he outside right now? I heard that he has never stepped foot out of his dojo for a couple of years. I heard that there has been a person attempting one of elder Wang's tests ad he has just been sitting there for nearly a month"
"Is he gonna go outside of the property and go shopping? Maybe he had a year supply of food and never went out because of that"
"Maybe he was just too scared to face society and is just a swindler?"
All the people had different thoughts but one thing they all wanted to know was why elder Wang was standing there.
"Hello it is me Wang Xiu the founder of the Water Weaving Martial Art School and I would like say that I am currently holding the test for this young man behind me to enter my school. I don't know why but he has recently told me that he is kind of into getting kicked and stomped on by people, he was very shy when telling this to me and said that he wanted that to be brutally injured by people. It just really turns him on! I would like all of you to brutally attack him and injure him. However there's a catch, he is not allowed to move from the place he is sitting at. Anyone who participates in moving him from his place may receive 1 gold each! If he is moved from that place he will fail the test.", elder Wang was quite enthusiastic when saying this.
The crowd who was dumbfounded at first suddenly found themselves unconsciously running towards Fan Huang. They all didn't know why. Maybe it was the money, getting to beat the crap out of someone all ran towards Fan Huang.
It only took a couple of breaths of time for the people in the originally calm crowd to rush towards the front entrance. By the time the people got there elder Wang just disappeared. Fan Huang could see the greed in those people's eyes right now. One piece of gold was enough to live off comfortably for a decade. If you were a cheapskate then you could use it over the course of two decades. That is why one piece of gold was so attractive. They knew that elder Wang would keep his word cause if he didn't he would lose quite a bit of face. He could see people with their eyes lit up in excitement over this and the first person in the crowd reached Fan Huang.
Meanwhile in Fan Huang's the only thing he could hear was Yao Yang's awfully loud laughter.
AHAHAHAH
AHAHAHHA
AHAHAHAH
If Yao Yang had a body right now you could see him on the ground dying of laughter with tear filled eyes. Fan Huang's position right now was quite pitiful and funny at the same time. He currently hated elder Wang right now so much that he wanted to just tear down his whole dojo. Elder Wang had ruined the state he had just been in. He was so focused and could tell that if he was in that state any longer he would've received enlightenment just like Yao Yang had told him. It was a state in which your learning capabilities and view of the world would go a drastic change and you would experience a couple decades worth of training and learning compressed into a couple of hours or days.
There was once a mortal monk who had received enlightenment by sitting under a tree for a week and instantly ascended to heaven and attracted lightning tribulation and then soon became the strongest expert known to man. Fan Huang's grandpa had once told Fan Huang this story when he was still alive.
"You wretched old man!", Fan Huang screamed at the top of his lungs. This old man said that all he had to do was sit there for 1 month without moving but he didn't specify or say that he couldn't be moved by someone else.
A couple of breaths later he was being brutally kicked and being punched at by a variety of people. There was old man, moms and even children. However, despite all their efforts Fan Huang was not moving an inch.
Fan Huang was constantly being beat and punched and kicked by the crowd but they could feel their fists and legs hurting quite a bit. They all decided to push Fan Huang in one direction in hopes of succeeding to push Fan Huang over. Fan Huang felt hopeless and even thiugh he was strong he couldn't beat a whole entire crowd of people. Fan Huang grit his teeth and tensed his whole body and tried to stop them. After the time it takes an incense to burn Fan Huang had still not moved from that spot. Fan Huang was tired, the crowd was tired.
"Master! How much time do we have left?", asked Yao Yang in his mind in a worried tone.
"1 hour left", Yao Yang answered nonchalantly. Currently Fan Huang was so tired that if he stood he would collapse under his own weight, the amount of will left was almost none.
"Elder Wang, You are shameless!"
