Both swore at the same time, and Yasenia said. "Go first, each of us will punch three times, and we will decide the winner with the total amount of points."
The man boasted, "I have limited chances, so I will begin soft to win extra Trial Points. Then, when I have only three tries remaining, I will punch with all my strength! However, I didn't know that you were a masochist! Letting me go first, do you want to feel despair so badly? Hahaha."
Yasenia just smiled. Nevertheless, that smile carried hints of the complete opposite of masochism. 'The higher you climb, the harder you will fall. I'm actually eager to see your groveling face as you beg for your life.'
The man approached the Monolith and stood before it. He didn't use any skills and punched confidently. His big fist carried very high strength, clear that he was a body cultivator.
A big *BANG!* was heard when his fist landed on the Monolith. An air shockwave spread around because of the pressure from his normal punch. The light on the Monolith lit up relatively strongly, and that light rushed upward. Then, it transformed into the number 239.
The people around were impressed. "That's just his body strength!"
Another person nodded with praise, "As expected of a disciple from the [White Tiger Sect], their bodies are extremely durable and strong!"
A woman looked with flushed cheeks, "So manly! I wish my Dao Companion would be someone like him!"
A man at the side nodded, "He is very charming indeed."
The man smiled proudly and looked at Yasenia with a provocative gaze. However, when he met with Yasenia's charming golden slit eyes, they were as placid as a lake, and her mouth had a relaxed but naturally seductive smile. The man couldn't help but gulp, 'She is too damn beautiful!'
His eyes then scanned the reaction of her companions. He couldn't guess anything from the veiled fox woman, but the other two had wildly different responses. The brown-haired one looked at him with seriousness and slight fear, but the blonde girl's big blue eyes looked at him with naked contempt. Leaving at the side how cute the blonde girl looked, Lui Yi was confused, 'Why are their reactions so different?'
He stopped looking and refocused on the Monolith. Then, he put more strength into each punch, wanting to receive the maximum amount of Points. Since Earth Gate challengers only had seven chances, he punched three more times.
*Bam!*
251.
*Bam!*
282.
Then, he put the whole strength of his body, without using any skills, behind the third punch.
*Bang!*
299!
His normal punches at full strength were almost as strong as the full strength of the other cultivator that reached 321. It was really terrifying for the cultivators looking at the spectacle. Normally, defense and strength came side by side, which meant that the man's body was probably extremely durable. It was clear that he was someone that could fight above his cultivation realm.
After he used four out of the seven chances, he looked again toward Yasenia and asked, "Regretting it already?"
Yasenia kept looking at him with her typical smirk and asked, "Do you feel good while bragging?"
The man mocked, "Of course! Showcasing my superiority to stupid people like you or the blonde girl never fails to give me a rush of excitement!"
"Oh." Yasenia answered.
The man frowned, "What's with that half-assed reaction?"
If Yasenia were to answer, she would have said something like, "I don't really care about a dead man walking."
Nonetheless, Yasenia just motioned to him with her chin, "Don't worry about it. Can you please begin? There are more people in wait to use the Monolith."
Lui Yi looked around and saw some impatient eyes looking at him, so he shrugged and began preparing. The man stepped before the Monolith and put himself in the horse stance. Then, his aura erupted with a tiger roar!
His short black hair moved with the wind, giving him a fierce aura. The shockwave of his aura eruption was so strong that some people almost took a step back. His level became clear to everyone at that moment.
One spectator exclaimed, "He is in the Half-step! Moreover, he is extremely close to the Unification Realm! He shouldn't need more than a month to step into it."
One nearby woman said with pity, "His aura is very fierce! The woman is done for! I can't imagine what she will go through. He doesn't seem to be a gentleman in bed."
Another man shook his head, "What a pity, a divine woman like that will be ruined because of a stupid bet."
A nearby man chuckled lecherously, "I hope brother Lui Yi lets other people have their turn after he uses her."
A woman supported his claim, "I can't wait to taste that body. I don't care if I have to wait in a queue for it!"
Yasenia heard everything but ignored it. Will they dare think about her like that after her turn arrives? Angel and Kali were fuming, but Yasenia's caresses relaxed them.
Lui Yi then gathered all his aura in his fist and punched forward, leaving a white trail. "[White Tiger Three Hits]!"
His fist collided with the strong monument and an extremely loud sound.
*BANG!*
The Monolith lit up like a lamp, and that light rushed upward. Then, a number that made people gasp appeared above, 321!
"What a monster!"
"I bet he didn't challenge the Heaven Gate out of security! It isn't worth losing one's life in that Trial."
"He already reached the previous record!"
"By the way, I don't even know which gate that woman went through."
A man that knew Yasenia said with a smirk, "She entered through the Heaven Gate."
Everyone sucked in a cold breath. "The Heaven Gate!?"
"Hahaha, then this competition is still interesting!"
However, as the people spoke, the man didn't stop punching! The skill was a three-punch attack, each stronger than the previous one! His waist rotated, letting his body accumulate momentum and his fist shot two more times toward the Monolith.
*BANG!*
371!
*BAAANG!*
421!
"He doubled the Heaven Gate Requirements!"
"Impressive!"
"I don't think that the woman has a chance even if she passed through the Heaven Gate!"
"It is much harder to advance a single point the higher it goes, so he didn't just double the strength requirements!"
"Right, he is a monster."
The man looked toward Yasenia and said arrogantly, "You turn! I hope you take a bath and wait for me with enthusiasm, hahaha!"
Yasenia walked forward with her typical sashaying movements. Every gesture she made was so charming that the people around stopped speaking to appreciate her beauty. Yasenia's slightly deep and mellow voice entered their ears, sending a pleasant tingling through their body. "Since I've entered through the Heaven Gate. I will go up little by little. I'm sorry if I take a while. I want to take advantage of this Monolith."
The man provoked Yasenia further, "Don't worry. It is a matter of course to let my own woman gain as many points as she wants."
Yasenia wasn't even fazed by his provocations and stepped in front of the Monolith. First, she activated [Starry sky] to begin charging stars for her final attack. No one cared about the increasing number of small white balls floating around her. Everyone focused on Yasenia's hand and held their breath as they saw Yasenia's dainty and beautiful hand clench into a fist and fly toward the Monolith.
Yasenia's posture was relaxed, and the fist seemed light. However, the strength behind it was not.
*Bam.*
203!
The people around nodded with praise, impressed. "Worthy of passing the Heaven Gate, her body is also extremely strong!"
"Her attack was casual, and she overcame the Heaven Gate requirement. How lucky!"
"Lucky? I think it was deliberate."
"Bah! How could she have such good strength control? We aren't seniors in the Unification realm!"
But this was just the beginning. When they stopped speaking, Yasenia began punching repeatedly.
*Bam.*
212!
*Bam.*
223!
*Bam.*
237!
*Bam!*
245!
The people's eyes became wider and wider with each consecutive punch. "W-Wait, isn't she still using just her body?"
*Bam!*
254!
"She isn't using any energy-"
*Bam!*
261!
"O-Oy, when is she going to-."
*BAM!*
273!
*BAM!*
281!
*BAM!*
285!
"Crazy, crazy! When is she going to stop!?"
Then, They saw Yasenia take a step back and use her whole body. Like a well-oiled machine, first, her ankle turned, followed by her leg, waist, chest, and shoulder, and then her right punch landed on the Monolith.
*Bang!*
300!
"W-What is wrong with-"
But that person was interrupted by Yasenia's body turning toward the other direction, punching with her left hand. The sound it made cut his sentence in the middle.
*Bang!*
305!
Then, Yasenia alternated right and left three more times.
*Bang!*
312!
*Bang!*
324!
*BANG!*
342!
Then Yasenia took a step back again and punched seriously. The people had the illusion of seeing as if her right arm turned into a shooting star and landed on the Monolith.
*BANG!*
383!
The Monolith lit brightly as an enormous shockwave spread around, blowing Yasenia's long black hair and back skirt with it, creating an extremely charming and equally inspiring picture.
Seeing Yasenia stop, everyone exploded!
"What the hell was that!?"
"My Heavens, what a monster!"
"Wait, isn't she just using her body strength? She did a bigger number than Lui Yi's second fist technique!
"KYAA!! SHE IS SO CHARMING!"
"I want her babies!"
However, people saw Yasenia getting into stance again without using any energy. A person asked with a trembling voice, "D-Don't tell me that she can hit harder."
Yasenia placed her body sideways, and then her long and charming right leg shot like a bullet toward the Monolith.
*BANG!*
392!
She took back her leg and swept it toward the Monolith again.
*BANG!*
412!
And another time.
*BANG!!*
424!
And one final time. The people saw a blur as her long and charming leg flashed toward the Monolith.
*BANG!!*
455!
Some people at the right angle were blushing because Yasenia's attacks left her quite vulnerable. Her small miniskirt lifted enough to show her sexy black underwear, and they could almost see the treasure land below them! But they could only catch a glimpse as Yasenia lowered her leg fast enough not to let them see it close.
Angel and Kali were impressed. They didn't know that Yasenia's leg strength was so high since she almost never used them in combat. However, her legs had to be strong as the dragoness had to carry the weight of her long tail through her life.
She didn't use them in combat because her sword was extremely heavy, leaving her with no option but to use her leg strength to make all the crazy and agile combat movements while carrying that heavy sword and using her tail simultaneously. Were Yasenia to have weak legs, and she wouldn't be able to fight!
At that moment, Lui Yi was slightly trembling at the side, filled with regret. 'I would rather give her Trial points than receive a punch from her!'
He had yet to see her full strength, but Lui Yi guessed that she would be able to create a number close to 700. Now Lui Yi could only pray that Yasenia was merciful with him.
Yasenia still didn't use her skills since she felt her tail could do more damage, so she positioned herself again. The people around gulped because they didn't feel any energy!
Then the dragoness moved her hips, sending that momentum through the tail and interlocking the tail muscles perfectly to increase that strength. Then, like a powerful whip, Yasenia's tail tip lashed the Monolith in its blunt state.
*BAAANG!!*
Like a bomb exploding, the tail impacted the Monolith with an explosive sound. The people looked at the number and took a deep breath, trying to calm their wildly beating hearts.
512!
That was the number floating above the Monolith. Just imagining receiving that tail lash sent shivers up their spines.
