Chapter 9 - What are they made off?

Boom!

The shaking of the ground seemed to have become even more serious.

Emily looked around and shouted towards the two women taking their time to jump through the window exit.

"Hurry up!"

On the other side, a man with shorts and dodgy blue eyes jumped from the exit just beside the window and stood in place in a daze as if contemplating his entire life.

When he heard Emily's shout he moved closer fast, as though he was afraid of offending her.

Li Jun did not say anything, after all, they had now reached a total of seven. But he always felt uneasy when he looked at these women who were taking their time to get off the train.

How could he not see they were capable of jumping through, it was just that they thought it was filthy.

"Another problem!" He thought to himself but did not say anything.

In the current world, it was weird for someone to be more concerned about the ground they stood on, muddying their shoes when they could be killed at any time.

Such a group of people on a team is prone to become a problem and he was not sure if they could meet the requirements.

Before they could even set off, another guy also appeared. This one was dressed in black clothes, though new, they had this aged look. His eyes were somewhat different and did not match his age. This was what attracted Li Jun the most. He could see the eyes showing some visibleness, but at the same had some youthfulness.

He was able to see a big difference between those eyes and the ones of an old person. The eyes just showed he had passed through a lot and his mental state was very high.

"interesting! It seems that most of us have had it easy growing up. How come I never did notice this person in my last life? In that timeline, it seemed that I had started to think very highly of myself." He was sure that only one reason would make him unaware of someone like this, arrogance.

He had become arrogant enough, even though it worked and allowed him to gain more resources, where did it get him in the end?

He remembered dying all alone like a bereaved dog and without any ability to resist. It was probably the same reason he was so unwilling.

Even though he had reached some level of an expert based on human standards, he had nothing when he died.

All this was considered pitiful, but it comes from his actions and choices. Without even paying attention to others, they would also ignore him too.

He could see that the young man was very calm. He looked at them and also joined the team, but even so, the last woman had not jumped down from the window.

Without even turning back, Li Jun said, "If you can't get down, just stay there. We have already met the quota, it's no different with or without you."

He did not wait for her to respond, and this angered the woman.

But she realized that everyone was walking away except for her two sisters.

They were urging her with her eyes to jump down quickly. Li Jun was tired of their actions and did not plan to babysit anyone. Their lives were on the line and someone was more concerned about their shoes getting dirty, how could they act once they got in a bad situation?

Seeing how effortlessly his good brother was bashing women Yu Tu was heartbroken but he was sure it was time to move.

Staying around the train for long was not a good thing. Since they were told to leave, there must be a good reason.

"Brother! Aren't you being too harsh on them?" He still asked in a low voice when they were a few meters from everyone.

"Do you want someone that will be concerned about their shoes getting mud on them when an emergency they could be able to save you from appears?" He just went straight to the point.

He was sure of the nature of humans, people who like themselves too much were a menace. It would be a good thing if they did not try to assist but just followed the instructions, but in their case, even instructions would be difficult to follow.

For Li Jun, speaking his mind did not seem like a bad deal.

Thinking about things from Li Jun's perspective, Yu Tu nodded, obviously understanding this. But the next instance he was shocked, "No! Did I get convinced by your words?"

But Li Jun ignored him and said, "My sincerity moved you."

But Yu Tu who had just been left behind by a step staggered, before, acting as though he was about to suffer from a stroke.

"Sincerity? Where is the sincerit" he was indeed puzzled about when he was convinced.

"Where did you get the confidence to take nonscience without even batting an eye?" Yu Yu asked, but Emily seemed to be watching entertainment and was very pleased with their 'show'.

On the other hand, the three ladies came towards them, they were not willing to be left behind. More than just that, it would be difficult to handle things on themselves. Even though Li Jun was being hard on them, it was for their good.

Their actions were not strange, other groups had also set off in number of seven individuals being the lowest.

He was still weak compared to actual experts, far from the stage of tempering his body, considered as the realm foundational stage. This is not false, as his current level had not changed his physique or strengthened him at all.

He did not look back this all time, but when Emily came rne near him, it was already time for him to let her take charge.

He stared at her and saw her finger pointed towards her lips.

"Is she indicating that I do not use my mouth to communicate? Why is that though!" He kept thinking about this, after all, they had yet to enter the risky areas.

She was telling him to speak less. Hey, eyes then looked around before she looked at her arm.

" It seems that she is more careful than even me, let her handle things." When he was thinking about this, he also turned to look into the sky in another direction but to his disappointment, the figures that were fighting were too far away for me to see anything.

They were even free to choose the path they wanted as long as they reached this destination. It seemed that those who failed to accomplish the mission would have to pay a certain price in the end, or to be more practical, the access to the existing library.

In the library, everything was present, including some that were obtained in ruins or self-created.

Everyone present on the train, except the instructors had to participate in the trial.

Comparisons obtained from their performance were enough to allow the allocation of resources. The treatment was not the same for the students. Other than potential, the selection of those who had taken a path other than the Immortal path was an issue to be considered.

But that was not the key to this. It was to see the will of the students while at the same time trying to encourage them to work in teams.

The standing of the students in this world depended on the level of practice they had reached.

When they were in the early stages, there was less interference from the powerful. In a way, it was for their good. Once someone powerful gave insights and advice, it was able to influence their actions and even future path.

In the most basic sense, it was like brainwashing others. That is why the path of practice, especially the immortal path requires one to be able to stand by themselves.

******

A lot of things in the world were already beyond the control of some practitioners, but the threat he was afraid of might have been known by some of the strong people.

This was something he had deduced when he saw the look of disdain on Emily's face when she spoke about the immortal path.

As they became stronger, it was obvious that some of the changes that happened to them seemed to be pushing them towards abandoning the physical body.

It was not easy to tell whether this change was, but for the immortal path, Li Jun was afraid. He always looks up in the sky to remind himself of the threat awaiting him.

He was suspicious about the probability of escaping when he became. strong, but even so, he was sure it was possible.

In his visit to the virtual world, it was not entirely fruitless, as he had gained some information, it was about the path of practice, mentioning only two stages.

The internal Introspect and Body Metamorphosis.

He has also realized that the two realms had stages in them, he took his time to sort out the information and barely was able to see the divisions between the two.
