Everyone sucked a cold breath after Yasenia's attack.
Witnessing Lui Yi's violent death was something that could carve fear in a person's bones. Moreover, when they saw Yasenia standing in place with her fist outstretched, her face unchanging, the chill from the fear they felt was amplified.
Yasenia, however, was standing still because she was somewhat dazed for a moment. Right when her fist landed on the dantian of Liu Yi and burst it, the Trial Points he had were transferred toward her own dantian, adding 513 Trial Points. Yasenia was confused, 'Why did the Points transfer? I didn't get the points from those five I killed earlier. I need to ask the shopkeeper because if this is a thing, the danger of assassination will increase.'
Yasenia was really surprised and worried in her heart, but she didn't show it. She just calmly turned and walked back to Angel's, Kali's, and Sarah's side. Her face was calm, and her steps were as confident and relaxed as before. Yasenia stopped her skills with each step until she returned to her "base" form. She was still mulling about the recent kill. 'If points can be stolen, besides assassination, we could be targeted by other cultivators since we have much more points than the others. Although people treasure their lives, greed is a powerful pushing factor. Still, I hope my show of strength helps us deter most people, or it will become annoying once it becomes publicly known.'
In total, Yasenia currently had 3 213 Trial Points thanks to the attack flurry she slammed onto the Monolith. In truth, her points should be lower, but the red numbers gave more than the base 20 Trial Points, allowing Yasenia to reach this amount of Trial Points. That meant that, after deducing her previous 50 Trial Points and the recently stolen 513, Yasenia gained a total of 2 650 Points on the strength trial.
Quite a hefty sum, but it was still low compared with the prices of the recipes and some of the pills. She could only buy three of the most expensive pills! Yasenia gained a basic understanding of how difficult it was to earn points if you challenged low-level Monoliths. 'I should look for the strongest Monoliths around to gain Points faster. This town is basically a treasure land filled with ancient and lost recipes for most professions, so I have to milk it as much as Evelyn milks me!'
Yasenia's strange thoughts were interrupted when a golden bullet zoomed toward her. Yasenia chuckled and opened her arms to receive her little girl.
The golden bullet landed face first on her two melons. Yasenia expertly killed Angel's momentum spinning three times with extreme ease, already used to these tackles from her dear baby. Angel was jumping in her embrace and rubbing her face on Yasenia's softness to express her excitement. Were not because they were inside the secret realm, or she would probably have dragged Yasenia to a bedroom to have a nice roll on the sheets. Yasenia also became happy, and her tail wagged, "Did you like it so much, baby?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You were so gorgeous! Kyaa!! I love you the most!"
Kali approached and shyly hugged Yasenia's arm into her bosom, and although Yasenia couldn't see her face, Kali's wagging tail, twitching fox ears, and scent gave away how excited she was. "Even dear Kali is excited~."
Yasenia curled her long tail around Kali's and felt her wagging through her own tail. The dragoness was becoming aroused since both her dears were rubbing themselves on her too much. Yasenia's aura began changing slightly, becoming more alluring and seductive by the second.
The people who looked at her were left dazed as the dragoness's current demeanor seemed to be able to awaken the beasts in their hearts. Still, no one dared to move and adverted their eyes. 'After they complete this Monolith, let's find a safe place~. Fufufu, I'm going to make them show their excitement in another way~.'
Sarah was beside them, a little awkward, but her heart still pounded strongly, making her cheeks blush. She thought the man from the [White Tiger Sect] was strong, but the following events blew her mind away.
[Host. This is why I told you to be careful with individuals with a fate like hers. Their strength is always extremely abnormal]
This sentence woke Sarah from her stupor and asked the system with a stutter, 'Are you telling me that there are more people with a strength similar to Yasenia?'
[Host. Not only similar but even superior.]
Sarah was stunned. She couldn't imagine someone stronger than Yasenia. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Yasenia speak. "Now it is your turn. You've seen how I did it, right? Start slow and keep going up to gain as many points as possible."
Angel separated her face from Yasenia's breasts and nodded with a blush still covering her cheeks. Yasenia couldn't resist diving down to bite and taste the delicious-looking cheeks, making Angel laugh sweetly.
Kali decided to go first. Her physical strength had advanced a lot after transforming into a [Life's Origin Nine-Tailed Fox], and it will continue growing as Kali unlocks more tails and her human blood dissolves.
Nonetheless, Kali didn't know how physically strong she currently was, so she began slowly. She reached before the Monolith and punched lightly. 'I hope I reach the low one hundreds.
*Bam.*
After her punch landed, the Monolith lit somewhat brightly and formed the number 189. The people around disdained it because they had forgotten themselves after seeing Yasenia's performance.
"So weak."
"Did she truly go through the Heaven Gate?"
"Who is she anyway? Why are you comparing her with the Heavenly Dragoness?"
Even if the people around disdained it, Kali was completely stunned. She had barely used strength in that punch, and she had just used it to measure her next strikes. Still, it almost reached the Heaven Gate requirement.
She was excited at her immense improvement, but looking around at the people's disdainful gazes, she became slightly uncomfortable. This situation made her remember some bad memories from the first months after her tragic event. Her heart felt somewhat stuffed.
However, at that moment, Kali heard Yasenia's mellow and slightly deep voice penetrating through all the bad comments like a sunray on a cloudy day. "Good job, honey! Now go up little by little~!"
Kali felt all the negative feelings pop like a bubble. Her lips unconsciously arched in a happy smile as her eyes locked onto the proudly smiling dragoness. 'So what if people disdain me? I have Yasenia cheering on me, and her voice alone rings louder than a thousand!'
Kali relaxed her body, and her focus peaked. Her right fist went forward and impacted the Monolith again
*Bam.*
201!
"Huh? Wasn't she punching with all her strength? How did she increase twelve points?"
"It must have been luck!"
However, Kali was there to shut everyone up as her left and right fist came one after another. Each time, there would be a slight increase in strength, giving Kali plenty of points. The numbers began going up 209! 215! 221! 227! 233! 240! 245! 255! 266! 271!
With each punch, the people around shut up more and more while Yasenia's smirk widened. Then, Kali took a step back and used her whole body to punch. Her fist exploded the air before it as it hit the Monolith strongly
*BANG!*
289!
The harsh training during these last months had increased her strength tremendously. Kali almost reached the [White tiger Sect] 's Liu Yi score! This meant that her body strength was practically as high as a body cultivator's! The proof that Kali needed to acknowledge her own improvement was clearly displayed in front of her, making her ecstatic.
Our little fox, of course, realized it and couldn't help but turn to look at Yasenia with a pounding heart. Yasenia, like always, was looking at her with a gentle and encouraging smile, that smile Kali had seen so many times that she would be able to paint it with extreme detail, that smile that had pushed her out of her dark world into a colorful and beautiful one.
Kali didn't say anything; words of thanks had already been exchanged between them. What Kali had left to do to thank Yasenia was create results! She turned toward the Monolith and activated her elemental coat. Roots covered her body as her aura became as gentle and refreshing as Nature.
Then, she punched again seven more times, each time with increased strength, reaching the number 367. The people that had mocked her had their tongues tied, unable to utter another word.
Then, she used roots to lash the Monolith until she couldn't do more damage. She could use eight root strikes, reaching an impressive 456! The number was higher than Lui Yi.
However, Kali looked at that number, unsatisfied. She thought for a moment and then remembered that Yasenia told them they could probably use their summons. 'The treants and Valeria hit stronger than me, let's summon them.'
The surrounding people were speechless. They thought that Lui Yi was strong, but then Yasenia and the people with her came and destroyed their precognition of strength. Even now, they saw that the fox-woman before the Monolith still had some more hidden cards and was about to play them. Else, she would have turned and left.
Kali summoned a single five-meter-tall treant and made it punch the Monolith with half of its strength. The people around were frozen for a second and then began cursing, "Fuck, you can also use summons!?"
"Right! The plate says not to use external strength. Everything else must be allowed!"
"I'm so stupid. I could have gained more Trial Points."
"Thankfully, I haven't done it yet!"
*BANG!*
The big fist of the Treant landed on the Monolith, and after the Monolith lighted up, a 424 appeared. Kali then made it punch with slightly more strength each time. However, the Treant wasn't too bright, and its control was small. It only managing to punch three times, elevating the number to 512. Kali frowned, realizing her mistake too late. 'I should have summoned Valeria since the beginning. She would have been able to give me much more points... '
Kali shook her head and didn't let it affect her. She began gathering energy and Wood, Nature, and Life energy thickened and gathered in front of Kali. Kali's dress, hair, and tail fluttered with the energy stream as the summoning began. A single green root shot up from the ground and transformed into a humanoid form. Kali didn't have haste, so she did the summoning slowly.
As the form of the three-meter-tall voluptuous lady got clearer, the people around had their mouths watering. Valeria's body proportions followed Yasenia's, but she was double Yasenia's height, doubling everything else. The long floral dress complimented the green lady perfectly, and her greenish but smooth skin was beautiful in its own way. Not to mention her gentle facial features, green eyes with golden slit pupils, and long emerald green hair increased her charm to a dangerously attractive level.
Kali saw the looks the people gave Valeria and scrunched her nose. Valeria was a precious person to her, and she didn't appreciate people looking at her that way. However, she ignored it since she couldn't ask people not to look at the giant lady. It was an irrational demand to do. "Valeria, hit the Monolith slowly until the number above is 512."
The Golden Crown understood what Kali wanted perfectly. Valeria's wooden staff wasn't external strength since she created it herself, so she could attack with it just fine. After Valeria reached the number 514, Kali began commanding her to hit the Monolith with a little more strength each time. Valeria obeyed and hit it eight more times, reaching an impressive 594, almost tripling the Heaven Gate requirements.
Kali smiled proudly. She felt that Valeria had become very strong. Then, Kali buffed the [Golden Crown] two times, once with [Nature's blessing], and then with [Overgrowth], managing to get another fourteen hits and reaching an astounding 734. The number of attacks Kali did were 53, earning a total of 1060 Trial Points. Kali could certainly go higher, but she didn't want to show all her cards publicly. It wasn't worth it to lay all her tricks in front of unknown people to only gain one or two hundred extra Trial Points.
Kali was now satisfied and turned toward Yasenia, walking with Valeria in tow. Before she could speak, the dragoness caught her in her clutches and began scratching her behind the fox ear and across her tail, praising her with a pampering tone. This sent any other thought our fox had flying away as she literally melted between Yasenia's arms. Kali plastered herself on the dragoness's soft body and involuntarily began making cute noises.
