The matches continue until there are only half of the competitors, exactly thirty-two people, were left. The battles, compared to the previous ones in the preliminary rounds, proceeds with an exceptional level of display from both sides fighting in the arena, some of the lesser-known people showcasing a level of martial prowess that surprises most of the crowd.
Some thinks that it is only to be expected though, as everyone that entered the secret realm are people possessing cultivation level absurd enough for normal people to reach within their lifetimes, and here, the finest ones of those young cultivators were gathered, doing their best to win the competition due to the nature of the rewards waiting for them.
While it is true that most of the matches proceed with the two sides showing their brilliance, there will always be some outliers that completely dominates their opponents, and two among such beings are facing in the arena now.
“Damn, I thought the eighth round will be a peaceful one but who would’ve guessed that another pair among the geniuses will meet each other”
“It feels like the matchmaking system really want them to eliminate each other”
“Fuck!!! He seems to be even luckier than Lei Xing, he encountered another Purple Lightning Temple disciple previously”
“Hahaha, there just have to be some lucky people in the world huh…”
“Hey hey hey, look at the face Zi Yu’er is making, don’t tell me she’s also going to surrender in front of that young man!??”
“Haist…. In front of an immortal’s charm, no lady can hold their ground huh…”
“This is fucking absurd, why is it not me that got such a chance to face that lady…”
“Look at yourself in the mirror first before asking like that, then compare your face with that young man’s, you think you will be treated the same as him?”
During the time the spectators are discussing about the matches of the eighth round, the barrier separating the two people in the arena completely disappears, prompting the lady to smile as she finally saw Wu Xiaotian directly, face-to-face.
Scrutinizing the lady up and down, Wu Xiaotian nods in agreement as he recalls Ling Feng’s thoughts about this lady, the title she has in the Goddess Ranking seemingly a well-deserved one.
A figure that is shaped as if she’s a fox that signals the ruin of a nation, her title as Enchantress is truly fitting to her appearance.
Voluminous, long purple hair that perfectly complements her heart-shaped face, her enchanting feminine appeal is further enhanced by the features of her face, long eyelashes decorating her droopy eyes, a cute straight nose connected to a sexy lips, mole under her left eye and her lips, and a smile that is enough to make the entire spectators’ hearts skip a beat.
The face is not her sole capital though as her body is also a weapon to be reckoned with, yes, a literal weapon as it is mostly the reason why most of her male opponents within the competition loses against her without even a fight.
Despite her well covered self, the clothing covering her body is just not enough to hide her perfect curves that bounces around whenever she exerts herself, causing the men she fought with to be distracted beyond belief.
‘She’s reaching mom’s territory when it comes to body’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as the lady approaches, noticing the way she walks, her hips swinging slightly whenever she takes a step, with his senses, he’s certain that she’s not deliberately doing it, but rather it is what’s natural for her.

Looking at her Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but get surprised by the information displayed. It is already pretty common for him to encounter a genius breaking the limits of the stats for their cultivation level, however, it is pretty rare for him to encounter someone with such high aptitude outside.
After all, except for his mother and grandmother whose aptitude reaches the divine level, there’s only Hua Xian’er, Hong Lian, and Li Yan that possesses such high aptitudes amidst all of the people he encountered during his time here.
‘Nine-tailed fox, no wonder, she’s a natural charmer’ with the lady stopping in front of him, the lavender scent she’s emitting from her body now reaches his nose, the smell so good that he couldn’t help but stop himself from taking another whiff.
Looking at him trying his best to control himself, Zi Yu’er look at him like a cute little guy, her smile that of someone who thought they are in complete control of the situation.
“You’re a lot meeker than rumors, Fellow daoist Su~” with a bell-like voice coming out of her mouth, Wu Xiaotian easily recognizes the teasing tone she’s using, the pride in her voice prominent.
‘This lady, she’s looking down on me huh…’ looking at the proud smile on her face, he couldn’t help but get annoyed at the lady who thinks she effortlessly charmed him, however, he doesn’t let any of his thoughts show as he looks back at her with a smile on his face.
“Am I? I just think it is too disrespectful to miss Zi if I were to take in your scent again, that would bring me trouble, right? Some women are petty after all.” Wu Xiaotian replied while leaning in, getting closer to the lady, his advances making her take a step back.
Flustered, the lady replied to him, “I-I’m not one of those petty women you think of, I’m different from most of the ladies you will encounter in your entire life” she declared proudly, trying to hide the panic in her voice, induced from her taking a good look at his appearance.
“I can see that” returning to his previous position, Wu Xiaotian maintains his amiable smile as he replied, before drawing the blade in his waist and cupping a fist towards the lady.
“As much as I want to know more about Miss Zi, now is the time for the match, your guidance is much appreciated”
Looking at his figure, Zi Yu’er was shocked once again as it is only now that she realizes that all those holding back and controlling himself is just a show of respect for her, the fact making her curiosity towards him even greater, her expression as if a kid who’s looking forward to a gift enclosed in multiple layers of covers and wraps.
“You’re such a mystery, fellow daoist” smiling at him Zi Yu’er pulled out a red sash from her spatial ring, using her qi to manipulate the sash, turning it into all sorts of shape and form according to her will.
“A mysterious man is a fatal weakness for ladies after all” Wu Xiaotian replied while shrugging his shoulders, completely oblivious of the thoughts inside the lady’s mind.
‘Su Tian, I’ll find out just what kind of man you are’ the lady thought to herself before waving her hand, sending one end of the sash towards her opponent.
