Chapter 69 - 69 Black Blade Instructor
Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Black Blade Instructor
Apostle of Fate Base!
When the instructor had mentioned it earlier, An Jianyou hadn’t understood, but now she seemed to grasp it, staring blankly as the instructor reached out and pressed a hand against the silvery door.
“Follow me,”
said the instructor.
Behind this wall was the exterior of the building, which could still be seen through the nearby windows, overlooking the open space below.
However, at this moment,
the silver door slowly slid open to both sides, revealing a spacious silver-white passage in front of her.
An Jianyou’s mouth grew wider and wider, she even deliberately walked over to the window to look outside, but she saw nothing. Meanwhile, the instructor had already walked through the silver door, stepping onto the silver passage.
She hurriedly followed after him, and as she approached the door, a “ding-dong” sounded in her mind.
“Beep~ Apostle of Fate An Jianyou, access verified, permission to enter granted.”
…
Fang You was also very surprised. The feeling of seeing it in person was completely different from watching it on the game interface.

[Passage]
[First Floor] – [Base Hall] – [Training Room E1] – [Training Room E2] – [Training Room E3]
[Second Floor] – [Entertainment Area] – [Resting Room E1] – [Resting Room E2] – [Resting Room E3]
[Third Floor] – [Base Core] – [Conference Hall]
[Other] (Not Opened)
He was standing in the passage at this moment.
The organization’s base started from the first floor and extended downwards step by step.
Just looking at the game interface, the base seemed not very large, only expandable. However, at this moment, the passage in front of Fang You was about twenty to thirty meters long and four to five meters wide, with murals carved on both walls.
But the paintings were somewhat blurry, seemingly depicting war, flames, and beyond that, not much else could be discerned.
Upon reaching the end of the passage, his view suddenly opened up.
It was as if he was standing on a high platform, with an open hall below, about ten to twenty meters away.
The hall was circular, with stone pillars so massive that it would take two or three people to encircle them rising to support the thirty-meter-high dome.
At this time, the interior of the base did not seem gloomy. There was a soft light casting down.
Looking up, he discovered crystal stones embedded in the dome, diffusing light as if eternal.
The floor was also adorned with a huge pattern, resembling clusters of flames gathering light and fire.
The place merely displayed as ‘Base Hall’ on the game interface was in reality so vast.
Fang You was rendered speechless in amazement, while An Jianyou was completely stunned.
She walked aimlessly.
Glancing aimlessly around her.
Shock surged in her heart like tidal waves.
This was the base of Apostle of Fate, a special space, possibly not existing in reality.
This is our Apostle of Fate!
Worthy of our Apostle of Fate!
Even in decline, we still have such a strong heritage, An Jianyou thought, shocked and proud.
…
Descending from the entrance of the passage to the first, second, and third floors, one could take a floating platform that moved up and down, or there was a winding spiral staircase that stretched downward.
Of course, the most direct and fastest way was to jump down from the platform at the entrance of the passage.
Fang You looked down.
The height was a good ten meters or more, and there wasn’t any place to lessen the impact with a jump. He was too scared to leap; an injury, if not death, was likely.
He honestly took the spiral staircase, not for any reason other than wanting to thoroughly tour his own base.
When he reached the first floor, in the spacious circular hall, he felt the pillars were even more massive, taller than the flesh giants, making people seem very small.
On one side of the hall, aside from the passage leading to the second basement, there were three doors.
They led to three training rooms.
One of them dinged twice and slowly opened, revealing Black Blade in his black attire coming out.
He still wore a mask, standing tall and straight as if he were a sculpture.
He raised his hand into a fist, placing it over his left chest.
This was the real Black Blade, as silent and expressionless as a warrior without emotions.
He said, “As the torch is passed, humanity will persist.”
“Mentor.”
…
Fang You wandered around the second and third floors.
The entertainment area on the second floor was equipped with various facilities; it also boasted a sizable garden lush with verdant trees that made one’s heart leap and spirit soothe while walking among them.
The corridor at the end connected to several restrooms, which were larger than he had imagined.
Though called rooms, they were actually complete suites with four independent private rooms, each with an attached bathroom.
The decor was not very luxurious, but all necessary amenities were present. It could be said to be quite good, at least more spacious and luxurious than his own home.
Fang You immediately picked one out for himself.
He planned to stay long-term at this base; whether for training or other matters, he didn’t have to be so cautious. The only inconvenience he could think of was…
Well, it was a bit of a walk from the resting room to the training room.
…
When Fang You returned to the first basement floor, An Jianyou was staring blankly at the pattern on the floor.
She didn’t dare to roam around.
She had wanted to get close to Black Blade, but with his unapproachable demeanor, he would soon start exercising on his own, uttering only “Hmm” or “Oh,” or simply remaining silent.
An Jianyou was exasperated.
It wasn’t until the mentor arrived that Black Blade finally stopped exercising.
Fang You looked at An Jianyou and Black Blade.
He said, “The world is changing, and our torch needs more sparks. I plan to select a group of individuals with potential as auxiliary members of the torch. If you have any suitable candidates, you may also recommend them.”
“But whether recommended or otherwise, they must pass an assessment to qualify as official members of the torch.”
“The assessment prioritizes temperament; only those who pass in temperament and character are deemed worthy of being granted the power to combat Mysterious Evil. Following that, resilience and willpower…”
He looked at Black Blade, “You will be responsible for this, as well as teaching the newcomers some basic combat skills, including…”
As he spoke, he looked at An Jianyou, “Starting today, you will learn basic sword techniques with Black Blade, strengthen your physique, and also…”
A black cat stealthily snuck away on its padded paws but was caught by the scruff of its neck halfway through its escape and hoisted into the air.
“And Black Pupil should be monitored and encouraged to properly practice and learn.”
“Meow~!”
It’s just training, meow!
“Yes, Mentor!”
An Jianyou replied loudly.
It was just learning sword techniques, and she could also have a chat with Black Blade.
No problem at all!
A few moments later,
An Jianyou entered the training room and picked up a practice warrior’s sword from the rack, swinging it with ease.
After all, as an Awakener, she didn’t have a weak physique, and swinging the practice sword was fairly effortless.
She was a fast learner, too.
Not that hard at all.
So An Jianyou thought.
A few minutes later,
“Not standard.”
Half an hour later,
“Continue!”
An hour,
An hour and a half,
Two and a half hours,
A cold murderous intent, like a sword hanging over her head, ready to fall at any hint of slack.
An Jianyou dared not stop, nearly in tears.
Mentor, save me!
“Meow~!” +1
