The disciples looked dumbstruck and looked at the young man walking towards them. Even in a desperate situation like this, the female disciples couldn't help but stare and swallow mouths full of saliva looking at the handsome young man before them. He had a perfect facial structure and a body frame and simply, he was too cute and too hot at the same time.
"Here"
The young man held a water bottle out and waited for them to take it.
"Who are you, young man?"
The elder beside Elder Mark asked him doubtfully. He was wearing neither a badge of a sect nor a uniform.
"Elders can ask the questions later, but now take this and help her"
Claire knew he's right as she grabbed the bottle to sprinkle the water on Elder Sandra's face.
The elders and the disciples looked suspiciously at him while he just kept his cool smile on his face. Even though the young lady before him looked gorgeous and resembled Jennifer Lawrence, her beauty didn't shock him as Gaya's beauty.
"Hhuh"
When the water droplets hit her face, Elder Sandra slowly opened her eyes
"Elder Sandra!"
The tears flowing out of Claire landed on Elder Sandra's face with the water from the bottle.
"Sect leader Claire"
He could barely hear these words coming out of the woman's mouth and wondered what just happened.
"Did Riyan come?"
"He will, Elder Sandra, he will"
He didn't know why they were looking for Riyan but only he knew that Riyan will not come as they expect, he buried him yesterday.
"I raised you, Sect leader Claire, I can tell when you're lying. Without Riyan participating, we won't be getting the resources, sect leader Claire, you know what would happen if we don't get that resources"
"Human, I think they are expecting the dead human to participate in the competition representing their sect"
Looking at the saddened and hopeless faces, he decided not to be the bearer of the bad news but help them for Riyan, a kind soul who died defending those children.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before he could speak any words, the sound of beating war drums reverberated the square and the previously noisy square immediately became silent. He guessed the beating of the war drums signified the start of the competition.
The war drums sounded out from all four directions of the square, each beat started out loud, but would gradually fade, shaking everyone on the spot. The war drums had been passed down from many generations and remained as a symbol of battle. At the battlegrounds, warriors who heard the war drums would immediately feel their blood start boiling.
At all four sides of Heaven's gate Square, there was a long and wide passage. On top of each passage, a few giant golden holographic words appeared.
Above the East passage was the famous Morning Star Sect while above the West passage was Golden Valley Sect. The words over the South passage were Silver Moon school and lastly above the North passage had only one word written in plain text 'Others'
The first three were the designated passages for the three big sects. Even though the square was crowded with people, no one dared to get close to the sections. After all, no one wanted to do anything that could disrespect those big sects, as they all knew that although this competition was started as a recruitment ceremony for the youngsters, it was now turned into a competition between the big sects.
"Look, the disciples of the three big sects are about to arrive!" one of the girls behind Claire whispered.
Following the beating of the war drums, some figures started emerging from the three passages designated for the sects. They were walking towards the center of the square with proud and arrogant expressions. Most people respected these disciples, while others envied them deeply.
Micheal noticed that some even had their eyes pointing towards the skies, expressing unparalleled pride and arrogance like he had never seen before. The respectful and envious looks of these common people were like a drug to them that made them high.
Every single disciple who walked out from the three passages was at the Body refining stage and even the weakest of them were level 6. He thought he would see youngsters with his level of cultivation for the fourth passage but even there, most of them were Body refining stage level 5 and only a couple of them seemed to be his level.
On the east side, where the Morning Star sect was, all of the disciples were wearing golden robes, and on their chests had an embroidered star symbol, this was the symbol of the Morning Star sect.
The Golden Valley Sect disciples wore matching plain yellow robes with a long sword decorated on their chest. As for the Silver Moon Pavilion, the majority of them were girls. These girls were wearing a variety of colorful, patterned dresses. All of them looked so sexy and hot like actresses and models in Micheal's eyes.
"Why is everyone in this world so hot and sexy?"
Their tight dresses were perfectly complimenting their gorgeous features and their curves. Which caused the men's testosterone level soar through in their blood as soon as they saw these girls.
"Damn! Those chicks from the Silver Moon are really sexy!"
"If you have the talent then you could just join the Valley of Happiness, then you would be able to sleep with them every single day!"
"Fool!, the Silver Moon focuses on seducing cultivation, and it is considered an unethical method. They'll turn your lust into a type of energy and use it to cultivate, the more you lust after them, the more they use you while you just slowly keep dying or worse"
"Leeches"
Gaya scowled looking at those female disciples.
...
The girls from the Silver Moon instantly attracted all eyes. Amongst the three big sects in the Kingdom, they had the least disciples, but their combined strength was not to be underrated, especially their seduction skills, which were unparalleled.
Some of the female disciples from Silver Moon were also very slutty because by using their seduction skills, they managed to get a lot of support from the different powers. This made the Silver Moon a very influential sect in the kingdom.
"Look, it's Evan Clark from the Morning Star" someone shouted.
Upon hearing this, many people shifted their gaze towards the direction of the Morning star. Micheal also turned his gaze, and he saw the last man who was walking out of the passage. That man wearing dark greyish robes, looking handsome and tall.
All other disciples from the Morningstar sect were wearing golden robes but he was the only person wearing a greyish one. It could be considered a special case considering the fact that he was powerful and famous even amongst the other geniuses.
"Many say that he is a rare genius, and his potential is even equal to Miss Celina"
"He will most likely get first place this time!"
The appearance of this youth caused some uproar at the scene, with his aura of a genius and handsome face, no matter where he went, he would immediately be the center of attraction, especially the girls'.
But the whole stadium made a gaping noise when they saw the girl who was walking out of the Golden Valley passage.
"Oh my god! it's Victoria Parken from the Golden Valley! She's sooooo beautiful"
"And powerful!"
She was wearing a set of blue robes with a hint of green. She looked angelic and as calm as the ocean. The color of her robes and the jewels she wore perfectly complimented her physical features. Every part of her body was fascinating to the eye as she was extremely attractive, and if Micheal had to rank the beautiful girls he had seen in this world, she would only be next to Gaya.
"I've heard that she went directly from formation stage level 8 to Body Refining stage level 3 and I heard she learned an ancient spell from one of her elders. That's extremely fortunate. Only a handful of people knew ancient spells and she's now one of them. She might even be more powerful than Evan Clarke "
"It seems Hannah Berry and Nyla Reid from the Silver Moon are here as well! Both of them have the ability to fight with Evan and Miss Parker, but their chances of winning are lower."
"It's hard to predict what will happen! A lot of things have changed this year, no one can guess the final results. Last time, Miss Celina appeared out of nowhere and took the fourth place in the competition and she was the youngest in the competition that year"
"And don't forget that mysterious young girl who created a record by climbing to the seventieth step. I wonder if she will appear today, and if that happens, this will truly become exciting!"
