Mona and Abby were happy to return from this survival test successfully. They had not seen each other during that time, so they immediately started talking about what had happened in that place during the exam.
Meanwhile, the two of them headed towards their bodyguards, that waited for them with smiles on their faces. When they finally got close, Eda smiled and said. "Congratulations on reaching the third test, Ms. Abby and Mona!"
At the same time, Russ also nodded in agreement. It was perfect for the Miller family for these two young women to move forward and, more importantly, for them to return alive.
Mona was not bothered by any formality and soon asked in curiosity. "Did you watch the other competitors? How were the best candidates?"
She, of course, was not curious to know how amazing the other participants were, but rather, because she was at level 41, a strength that few participants had!
So, Mona wanted to know how her competitors had fared in the exam. Even though she couldn't make it into the top 3, she could certainly strive to reach the top 10!
So, knowing about her competitors was the best way for people like her to prepare!
"This..." When he was about to say, Russ blew out a deep breath and then continued. "Ms. Abby's friend seems to have stood out the most..."
Upon hearing this, they were both surprised by this. They couldn't believe it!
After all, despite the fact that Minos was one of those monsters capable of fighting higher-level cultivators, there were participants in this competition who were level 43 and one who had already reached level 44!
So, they didn't understand how Minos could steal the attention of these geniuses!
Abby then asked curiously. "And what did he do to get so much attention?"
"Ehh..." Eda closed her eyes for a second and then continued to speak as she remembered the events. "In the final half of the test, Minos crippled a level 43 competitor and killed another level 42..."
She then narrated the facts that happened, including the beasts of the 5th stage of cultivation that had fallen at the hands of Minos. The young Stuart had truly put on a good show for the audience who watched this event...
And when the two girls heard this, they couldn't help but open their mouths in absolute shock. If it weren't for Russ and Eda telling them what happened, neither of them would believe such a story.
That was simply the most absurd thing they had ever heard!
And while the two young ladies from the Miller family were dazzled by Minos' achievements, several other competitors found out about these facts through their respective traveling companions.
Even the young Troy had been curious about Minos, who seemed to be his only opponent in this edition of the Spiritual Tournament.
'Interesting...'
...
At the same time, Minos and Ruth had already met again after the second test was over. The beautiful young woman with black hair was already waiting for him in the same place where they had said goodbye, while she had a satisfied smile on her face.
"You have reached level 39! Congratulations! At this rate, it won't be long before you beat me!" She said with a beautiful smile on her face.
Minos nodded and then gave her a short kiss.
He was tired of those exam days, so he wanted to return to the hotel to rest as soon as possible. He also had to satisfy his physical 'needs' with Ruth, so there was no reason for them to be talking in this square.
And with that, they soon moved to the hotel where they were staying, in the central area of Capital City.
...
Upon arriving in his room, Minos immediately went to the shower to take his first hot bath after that week in that forest. And although he could use his spiritual energy to cleanse himself, that was the kind of thing that met his needs, but he didn't like it.
Taking a good hot shower was something that Minos valued and always did. That was a way to relax, without any problem disturbing him...
And it wasn't long before he finished and went straight to bed, where Ruth was lying, with no pieces on her body!
She was lying on her belly while her breasts tightened on the bed's mattress, and her beautiful legs were exposed for Minos to see.
Her fair hair was loose and went up to the young woman's waist, which looked extremely inviting to the young Stuart.
Seeing this, Minos smiled and turned around until he came up behind her.
From there, he had a clear view of the white cheeks on Ruth's buttocks, in which a pink slit could be seen between the young woman's legs.
It was shining as if it wished for what was to come, so it was already adequately lubricated to receive the stick of Minos...
'Hehe, this is what I needed...' Minos thought to himself while leaving all his other thoughts aside.
Following that, he threw himself onto the bed and began unloading all his desires onto the girl, climaxing her twice before they even began the most exciting part of their activity!
"Mmm ~ Please stick it in me ~"
Ruth said in a seductive voice as she spread her legs and showed Minos her little sister. She had cloudy eyes, her face flushed, as she looked longingly into the young Stuart's eyes.
By this time, his little sister was already very lubricated and was even pulsing with desire for the rod of Minos, which was as firm as a stone at this moment.
The days away from each other had truly ignited the burning flames of Ruth, who was only thinking about pleasure right now.
Upon hearing Ruth's lustful desire, Minos did not wait any longer, and soon he continued his 'fun,' taking it to greater heights...
"Ahhh ~ Faster ~ Deeper ~"
...
Minos and Ruth slept peacefully for a few hours after spending several hours having fun before finally waking up and departing to train at the Cultivation Tower in the Cromwell Kingdom's capital.
The two planned to do this for the next few days until the next test began. And although there was not much room for improvement for Minos, his purpose was to cultivate and become stronger, not to participate in competitions. But to reach a level where he was strong enough to guaranteed freedom.
So, even if he weren't going to get stronger in those remaining days, he would continue to train hard. The Spiritual Tournament was just a complementary thing for Minos. He didn't even want the first position. The only thing that mattered was the contacts he made.
And just in that time when he was in Capital City, even though he was not going to waste his time chatting with strangers, he had met many people around here.
As was the case with youths Maxwell, Peter, Davy, Ford, Kara, and many others he encountered during the second exam. He had already met people from all the northern kingdoms of the Central Continent with that!
He had also met a guy named Todd Cohen, the grandson of the Kingdom of the Waves merchant that Minos had met. When he met this young man, Minos and his group were returning from the attack on Leroy when they saved Todd from a group of beasts.
And on hearing his surname, Minos connected the dots and discovered that Todd was a descendant of Lance.
Anyway, Minos had met a lot of people in this period.
He just wanted to stay in the tournament so that he could continue fighting opponents of the same generation as him as a form of training.
...
With that, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the third test of the Spiritual Tournament to begin!
The 4,000 participants who had remained in the competition would start their 32 fights, in the Battle Royale format, with 125 participants fighting simultaneously in each group!
In each of the fights, only the person left standing would be the winner, who could move on to the final part of the Spiritual Tournament.
That could also be considered the maximum glory for many of these competitors, who could boast of being among the 32 greatest geniuses in this region of the continent!
And such a thing was not small. No, even if some of these individuals were not chosen by the sects of the Flaming Empire, they would still be in the focus of their respective families.
To get an idea of this importance, even the King of the Cromwell Kingdom would watch the top three matches!
And many other families in the region sent representatives to watch the final matches in the hope of spotting some talented youth who were not yet part of large houses in this region!
...
"Come on. I want to see what the order of the fights will be." An adult man said anxiously.
He wanted to watch the fights that involved the most outstanding youngsters in this edition of the tournament, such as Minos and the young Troy case.
"I hope that the great competitors will not face each other at this stage of the competition..." An old man commented aloud.
It was always an exciting thing to see, but this could be the end of the dreams for these competitors.
After all, fighting in the last stages of the competition gave them the chance to draw the attention of a sect, even if they lost in the first few fights!
"Hmm, look at that! The fight list is out!"
