The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 275
Advertisement
The next morning, everyone was excited about the third assessment. If they managed to pass this final test, they would become disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower!
"What do you guys think would be tested in the final assessment?" Beiming Chu asked. He was truly curious about the final exam especially after Lu Sulan spoke about it. Although she said that it was the easiest exam, Beiming Chu was a bit skeptical about that. Who knows maybe Lu Sulan might have said those words to fool them...
Zhu Ren shook his head after a moment of contemplation. He also had no idea as to what would happen during the next assessment. However, he told himself to never fail it.
"No matter what will be tested, I'm certain that all of us will pass." Princess Sylvia muttered with certainty in her tone.
Prince Dante smiled at her words, but he internally agreed with what his sister said. It wasn't because he was arrogant, but it was his trust towards everyone's talents.
The venue for the final assessment was another huge room. However, there was nothing noteworthy about this room except for the door-like object at the center.
This object emitted a deep aura, but the thing that made everyone wary was the feeling of being seen through every time they glance at this door.
Prince Dante went closer towards it, his gaze carrying great curiosity. His sister and the other two followed behind him when they saw him walking towards this 'door'.
Upon coming at a close proximity to this 'door', Prince Dante exclaimed when he realized that he could actually see his reflection on it.
"Is this a mirror or a portal?" He muttered in a daze.
"It looks like a portal, but it also looks like a mirror. What could this thing be?" Beiming Chu said as he glanced towards this 'door'.

It wasn't just them, all the remaining applicants came closer to this 'door' and inspected it carefully. They wanted to find out what kind of object it was since it might be related to the next assessment.
However, none of them were able to tell what it was even after looking at it for more than thirty minutes. They could shake their heads regretfully after failing to guess what it was.
"Where's the overseer? It's almost the start of the final assessment but I can't see any elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower inside this room-" Just as that applicant uttered those words, he suddenly felt a cold gaze piercing through his back. He slowly turned around and saw the familiar face of a woman.
"Young Miss Theia! I mean Elder Theia! This..." He felt horrified at the sight of this beautiful grim reaper.
'Is she the overseer for the last assessment? I thought that this would be the easiest one... Was Elder Lu Sulan messing with us yesterday?' The applicant wanted to cry, but no tears came out...
Those who knew who this woman was immediately stood like statues when they spotted her. As for those who came from outside of the Silver Wing Empire, they gazed at her deeply.
Theia was after all a stunning beauty with a great figure. If not for her notoriety, she would have dozens of suitors lining up her door.
"Woah! Who is this beautiful elder? She looks very pretty!" An applicant exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Theia's devastatingly beautiful face.
Smack!
Suddenly, someone smacked the back of his head and this made him furious.
"Hey! What the hell is that for?!"
"Brother, you are not a resident of our Silver Wing Empire, so you might have not heard of that woman. Listen closely or you might regret it later. Her name is Theia and she is a waitress in Sect Master Jiu's Immortal Wine Store. Don't provoke her if you don't want to die without a proper burial."

Those that heard those words immediately retracted their filthy gazes off of Theia, but there were still a few who failed to contain their lustful gazes.
"Insolent fools!" A cold voice echoed inside the room as a wave of powerful true essence swept through everyone like a gust of wind!
Swoosh!
The dozen applicants who were ogling at Theia fell to their knees in just a blink of an eye!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The remaining applicants who managed to hold their lust were looking at the scene with horrified expressions. They praised themselves for listening to the other's advice.
"If this happened outside of our Heavenly Sword Tower, I would have already killed you all. Thank you lucky stars that you are currently applicants who might become disciples of our sect." Theia uttered in an icy tone, making everyone gulp nervously.
At the far corner, Prince Dante and co. smiled at the scene with a hint of schadenfreude.
"They actually dared to look at her with such obscene gazes. Truly tired of living. Hmph!" Princess Sylvia said in a mocking voice.
Prince Dante and the other two chuckled at her words.
Theia scanned the crowd with an indifferent and cold look. She could see a few familiar faces, but she did not even bother to greet them.
After a moment of silence, Theia's cold and emotionless voice echoed inside the room.
"You guys have already seen the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. It is the portal-like door that you see in front of you. This thing will play a significant role in this assessment, but you guys have nothing to worry about it. The only thing you needed to do to pass this assessment is that you must be able to pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. As for those who would fail in doing it, you can scram out of this building!"
Mirror of Truth and Deceit? Just what was this thing able to do?
Everyone was curious, but nobody dared to raise their hands to ask about this.
"Elder Theia, I have a question." Princess Sylvia raised her hand as she asked fearlessly.
Theia glanced in her direction and said. "Speak."
"What is this Mirror of Truth and Deceit and how could we pass through it?" Princess Sylvia asked.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Theia and waited for her to answer.
Theia's eyes remained calm as she answered in a dull tone. "This thing is capable of seeing through your hearts and as for how you can pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit, you will know soon..."

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!
