"Why would this happen? Why would Lone Bamboo take part in the exam? He doesn't need to." Yu Jing did not understand how he could be so unlucky. If it was any other Earl student, he believed Han Sen stood a firm chance. He would have had a high probability of winning.
But Lone Bamboo made Yu Jing feel powerless and hopeless.
Lone Bamboo was a student of the seventh elder, but he had broken a rule. It was a very bad one to break, too. He was stripped of his title as a student and imprisoned. There, he was tortured.
His imprisonment was not a death sentence, but it might as well have been on one.
Lone Bamboo was put in a sad dream. That dream kept repeating his sad life for ten thousand years. Once that time passed, he was allowed to wake up.
Ordinary creatures wouldn't live long enough to wake up and have the dreams end. Even if they did, having the same heartbreaking dream repeat for ten millennia would be too much. They'd be driven insane by the repetition.
