The death of Hu Shenwei rattled the crowds of examinees leaving only a select few who dared to climb into the martial arena to continue their challenges.
A young female around the age of 15 floated onto the stage like a leaf which landed on an unperturbed lake, ripples went through the crowd as exclamations were heard.
A few noticed the commotion as they turned their attention to Arena # 4 where they saw a girl like no other.
The colour of her hair was like that of the moon's shadow as it plummeted down her back, her slightly pouted rosy lips stood out against her ivory skin.
Her enraptured eyes were the colour of obsidian as they combed the crowd for a familiar figure and as her shapely figure stood like a lone lotus on a lake, her innocent aura could be felt by all.
She combed a strand of her hair gracefully behind her ear as her willow-like brows furrowed slightly, invoking the concern of many young males in attendance.
She was like an unsullied goddess in the hearts of many of these young men who hoped to have the honour to protect her.
Xuan Xian'er smiled as her deep gorgeous eyes fell upon the figure she was looking for, a slight longing could be seen deep within.
Her enchanting pearl-white smile jolted all the hearts of those present who happened to lay eyes on her, wanting to know who was the one that stole their goddess' smile.
...
She had spotted LingYue from the arena, a smug feeling in her heart.
Xuan Xian'er was the treasured pearl of the ShuHei City's Xuan Clan, a small hegemon of their area, normally loved and doted upon by all.
This young man intrigued her, never before was she given the cold shoulder especially since she cultivated her clan's hereditary Qi Breathing Art.
Their ancestor who was once an elder of the Blood Gate Cult's Inner Sect had created their family's hereditary technique after studying the fox fae race, naming it the [ Alluring Fox Qi Transformation Art]; it was used to be able to maintain as well as perfect their beauty and charm as well as being able to siphon the Yang Qi from men as a way to increase and supplement their strength.
Many family servants were ruined by this clan princess, having their Yang Qi sucked dry leaving them nothing more than a withered husk if unlucky and a decrepit old man if they were, only to be later killed to keep rumours from spreading.
She came to Blood Gate Cult not only to receive better teachings on the path to cultivation but also for the pure amount of cultivation resources for her, and those cultivation resources. . . were young men.
She was already known as one of the seeded individuals along with 5 others who were sure to pass this entrance test.
The 6 of them were known by other examinees and outer sect disciples in the know as the Six Paths Dao Seeds, known for their cultivation talent and martial ability.
She was labelled as the Third Path Dao Seed, falling slightly behind Jing Feng at the Second Path and Jiang Qiuqing at the First.
She knew she only needed time in this lawless environment to be able to completely surpass these two, so she neither cared about the fame nor to challenge herself within these arena fights. . .
To her, this was all just a formality. . .
**********
Xuan Xian'er bowed slightly to the elder as she requested a challenge towards the 91st-ranked disciple as she needed not to give her all in this.
A slender young man around the age of 20 with a hooked nose and a yellowed complexion, took to the air like an eagle leaving its nest as he plummeted towards the stage in awe-inspiring fashion!
*Boooom*
A resounding deep noise was heard as he landed in the arena.
The dust cleared as he brushed his sleeves, his sword strapped to his back as his eyes roamed up and down the body of Xian'er.
A frivolous sneer soon crossed his lips as he remarked, " I really would like to know how a fairy like you would feel beneath me . . .what a fucking shame."
Xuan Xian'er kept a slight smile on her face as her aura didn't wave in the slightest, seemingly not hearing the harassment of the disciple before her.
Her mind was currently still preoccupied with the image of LingYue as she thought, ' Why does he keep crossing my mind? Is it related to my Cultivation Technique?'
Once this thought crossed her mind, her breathing became just slightly faster as her heart raced, 'If I get his Yang Qi, I might just be able to take a huge leap forward, I might even break through to the Meridan Opening Stage in one go!!'
Her thoughts took a drastic turn as she wanted to know how she could acquire him as her gaze slowly fell upon that figure within the crowd once again.
