Everyone in the crowd just looked at each other carefully, not daring to make a sound in front of two Sovereign Boundary Physique wielders. They could respect their innate genius from the fact that they were born with those Physiques on their own, but combined with the fact that one of them was from an Immortal Sect.....
It was just too much for these young men and women.
They had never seen, or met someone from an Immortal Sect, and despite the fact that their own Senior Apprentice Brother Purple Mist was a core disciple of the White Dominion Sect, the difference in status between him and Vladimir was greater than the distance between the heavens and the earth.
One was from a peak mortal Sect, the other, from an Immortal Sect whose foundations and strength were unimaginable by mere mortals.
And this Boundless Forest Yearning, possessed some unknown connection to them....
Vladimir just sent Arthur a glance, narrowing his eyes at him.
He didn't appreciate being used as a buffer like that, even though his first impression of Purple Mist was far from being anywhere positive. Arthur had practically controlled the entire conversation from start to finish, and strategically used his own comprehension of Laws in order to provoke Purple Mist into an aggressive stance.
The moment Arthur hit that sweet spot in regards to Generous Soul.... and the amplified hatred and annoyance born from Purple Mist in that moment was several times greater than what it should be.
Vladimir knew it.
Purple Mist knew it.
And no doubt that Generous Soul would know it too.
But it didn't matter. Purple Mist had already done his job. A core disciple of the White Dominion Sect had just publicly insulted two Sovereign Boundary Physique wielders.
Mind you, the presence of one "Vladimir Lew" was not fully taken into account until the moment Arthur saw his face, although two Sovereign Boundary Physiques was always better than three.
Arthur was originally just going to humiliate Purple Mist in order to get into the Violet Clan's good books. Milena would have someone to rely on within the White Dominion Sect and Arthur would always be able to come back to the White Dominion Territory under the guise of "meeting" up with one of his family members.
He could use the transmission gates within White Corpse City in order to go wherever he damn well pleased, and the existence of the Rootless Abyss was something that he could always use whenever he had the ability to purchase one of their rooms.
The White Dominion Region was also the location of a mortal Sect, meaning that Fae Immortals, or Immortal organizations weren't allowed to interfere in the affairs of the White Dominion Region, without them making the first move.
It was a perfect place for Arthur to lay low, if he ever needed to hide away for a few months.
Arthur just smiled, gazing at the wide number of older Fae Masters in front of him. None of them wanted to go up after the core disciple of the White Dominion Sect, especially when he retreated in front of the Boundless Forest Yearning and Formless Night Shadow....
Although perhaps that in of itself was something to be proud of.
"I would like to go up!".
All eyes in the crowd turned towards the young women who raised her hand up. The vast majority of them frowned not being familiar with her appearance or abilities, before a few of them remembered whom she walked in with.
"Who the hell is that? Is she a wandering Fae Master?".
"I don't recognize her. Perhaps she is some new genius from one of the other cities?".
"No you idiots! Don't you remember!? She came in with "him"! With the one on stage!".
"Wait.... that means that she is with the.....".
The young man nodded, sending a glance towards Milena.
The young woman wasn't the most beautiful, although as time passed and she grew older, her temperament and demeanour grew much more in comparison. Despite the fact that her confidence had just been completely destroyed after seeing Cloudy Moon's and Purple Mist's Attribute Control Skills, her desire to walk the path of Corpses had only become even more resolute!
Walking up to the stage, Milena just smiled, giving the crowd a small bow.
"My name is Milena Kovacs! I am eighteen years old and walk the path of Corpses! I know that in terms of foundations and knowledge I pale in comparison to even the weakest of White Dominion Sect disciples, but I earnestly desire to reach the apex using Corpses!".
A few young women in the crowd just rolled their eyes, although a couple of younger mortal born Fae Masters seemed, at the very least appreciative of her honesty.
Violet Sunglass glanced at Milena before noticing Arthur and Vladimir leave the stage. The young lady narrowed her eyes at the leaving Sovereign Boundary Physiques, before walking after them, gesturing to a nearby guard to watch the martial platform.
The host of the martial gathering leaving didn't gather that much attention, as another young women stepped up to the stage, flicking her hair back and tilting her head back slightly.
"My name is Violet Bloom. I am seventeen years old and am an inner sect disciples of the White Dominion Sect. I too walk the path of Corpses and specialize in the School of Mummification....".
Violet Bloom was also from the Violet Clan, the same as Violet Sunglass, but was from one of the branch families within the Clan. She was seventeen years old and was a vapour ruby origin essence Fae Master the same as Milena.
Just from that alone, it was evident to outsiders that Violet Bloom's potential was much higher.
Not to mention, being from both the Violet Clan and a White Dominion Sect inner disciple.... her status was much higher than Milena's.
The only thing Milena had going for her was-.
"Other than the Boundless Forest Yearning, I doubt that a backwater region like the Winter Rain Mountains can produce anything good. Trash that have never experienced what it is like to reach the apex of mortality, and only scrounge around the bottom of a Fae Grounds should stay down below and serve as stepping stones for people like-".
"The Overflowing Ocean Depths was also born in the Winter Rain Mountain.... So... you're technically wrong".
Violet Bloom paused for a moment, narrowing her eyes.
There was nothing wrong with Milena's words, but-.
The seed of arrogance with her sparked and she clenched her fist while gazing at Milena.
"You dare to interrupt me!? I'm from a noble Clan, and an inner sect disciple! Know your place, you trash!".
Parvan and the others narrowed their eyes as a few of the other mortal born inner sect disciples narrowed their eyes at Violet Bloom. Despite their positive impression of Violet Sunglass, this Violet Bloom on the other hand seemed much more.... volatile.
Milena just gazed at Violet Bloom, raising her eyebrow before shrugging her shoulders.
"If you think I'm trash, then prove it. Fight me. If I lose then I guess I am trash.... but.... if you lose, then doesn't it mean your worse than trash?".
Violet Bloom snorted, rolling her eyes.
"Very well! Come then! Show us what the foundations of a backwater Clan like yours can do!".
While Violet Bloom and Milena were currently fighting, Violet Sunglass was currently observing a conversation which would shake the very foundations of her entire world.
