《Shining Duos》Hidden Rewards
Advertisement
The whole arena was eerily silent. For a couple of seconds, Link still didn't show any sign of movements. Brenda even got a bit bored watching this. Truthfully she didn't think this guy couldn't tank merely three light attacks of her.
But because of slaughtering aura affecting Link mind lowering his defense and her insane speed, her 'light attacks' did far more damage than she thought.
"I-is it ov-Ah! Look Senior Brother Link getting up!!"
As one disciple shouted, everyone saw Link shakily get up. His body and mind felt tremendous pain he never thought was possible. Brenda's single sword slash messed him up far more than he expected as slaughtering Qi still rampaged inside him.
Adding to the present pain was his head getting slam and his chest getting broken by Brenda kick; it was astonishing he could even stand. Well almost astonishing until
'Bang!'
Like a ghost, Brenda appeared where Luke was standing while socking him over to Great Elder Lin. In her mind, if she were to fight, then her opponent better be prepared for her speed!
Originally she wanted to see what Link can do but decided that he has nothing exciting to offer and just ended the fight there.
"So where's my points??"
Brenda asked as Link rolled over to Great Elder Lin. Before he even stopped at his feet, Link was already unconscious. Great Elder Lin sucked in a cold breath realizing this girl is perhaps even more terrifying than Kuzumi or even Kazami star!
Though he can't say for sure, he predicts she'll become uncatchable even at early Great Emperor Sea rank!
Great Elder Lin signaled for a medical Elder to take Link away as he spoke to Brenda saying,
"That was an excellent fight, young Brenda; the arena will award you your points now."
"Arena?"
Towards Brenda confusion suddenly from four corners of the stage, an orange, purple mix beams of lights sprouted out. The beams in a flash shot into Brenda's pocket, which held her badge.
With a small smile, she got off stage, landing with Kazami and the others while everyone else was still in awe. In only a manner of seconds, the position of the younger generation changed.
Time and time again so easily did Guardian Chui disciples crushed the most talented youths here without even breaking a sweat. And the biggest question on everyone's minds was, what would happen when they all reach Heaven King Sea realm?
Could they possibly even fight against the Great elders and Guardians of the sect?!
Under such a frightening thought, Lun Yuo had suddenly elegantly floated on stage. Her peaceful, charming appearance instantly enrapture eyes as she said in a soothing voice,
"Is there anyone else here that would like to challenge. Be warned though I'm just as tough as Brenda~."
'Whir!'
As she spoke, Lun Yuo unleashed God's bloodline state on full blast. Leviathans tentacles sprouted from her back, but it all swayed in a hypnotic pattern. The aura that she exuded created a massive suffocating pressure for every disciple here.
It was more than obvious whoever were to fight anyone from the Kazami team is explicitly a fool! Although compared to how the other three exuded their powers, Lun Yuo's was a lot more gentle and less scary. They felt as if it was a bright green fairy that was naturally exuding her overwhelming presence upon the mortal world.

Not even Malon, who was considering fighting against one of them dared to go up to Lun Yuo as he was too enchanted by her aura.
"Well, well! It seems like Guardian Chui disciples are taking our sect by storm!" The booming, powerful voice of a man ranged inside everyone's mind. Looking up, they all witness Sect Master Borson floating down to them!
"Ah! Disciples pay respect to Sect Master!!" All youths except for eight specific ones bowed down instantly with respect. Although the ones that didn't pay respect didn't bother Sect Master Borson in the slightest as he smiling said when he landed,
"Indeed, from the younger generation, there's no one in the sect, or even in the whole city that can be your match. That's why I would like to offer you and the other seven young talents great items that'll help with your growth."
Stunningly all disciples and even Great Elder Lin jumped up from Sect Master Borson. All of them are so great they're also receiving help from Sect Master personally?!
This had to go down as the most shocking event in the sect history as no one could ever recall a youth ever getting personal help from a Sect Master!
Although Lun Yuo was only a bit curious about this guy's attitude, he seemed to not like any of them at first but then let them run free on other Guardians' disciples. And now his face was full of smiles when greeting them?
While she thought, the other seven already floated on stage as Kazami said,
"I see no reason to refuse Sect Master."
He guessed this was all Ancestor Ardis doing. When they first met, the change in behavior went in line when he first started sensing her and assume Sect Master Borson was obeying her words. And now because of his full display of power, she probably forces Sect Master Borson to treat them right.
He wasn't anxious for any hidden agenda from this guy as his senses also picked up Guardian Chui watching them from afar.
"Excellent, we shall be off then!" Sect Master Borson announced as he had to admit these disciples tower above all others here. Despite his dislike for Guardian Chui, his eyes could see talents when they come in.
With a wave of his hands, all eight youths got picked up by his powers and blasted into the sky with Guardian Chui following close behind.
All that was left behind was the bewildered stares of everyone.
"Honestly, if it's them, then our sect can finally come first in the Grand Yin tournament!"
"With them, our sect can truly claim the spot of number one on this continent!!"
"Not even the first rank region would dare to trouble us with them!!"
Numerous chatters like this broke out like a dam as a new history and era was in the making. However, one hidden, powerful man held a blank expression as he stared off to where Sect Master Borson took the youths.
….
Approaching a relatively small building if compared to others in the sect was the Kazami team and Sect Master Borson. Everyone else beside Kazami and Lun Yuo was merrily chatting away. Brenda was making Dela squirm, and now Kuzumi was having fun with making Mara go crazy.

Luo Ke and Su Mo only thanked the heavens; those girls' attention wasn't on them.
"So, how are you feeling?" Kazami asked a general question to Lun Yuo, who quickly picked up on what he wanted to talk about.
"I feel alright; things have been progressing smoothly and shouldn't be too bad." They spoke in relatively quiet voices, but they weren't foolish enough to think some at Sect Master Borson level wouldn't hear them.
"I was feeling the same way. Especially with Ancestor Ardis's approval us we should have a swimming time here." The slight shake of Sect Master Borson's body proved all Kazami needed to know about the situation.
Lun Yuo also caught this, and with a sweet smile she said,
"Ah, everything really is falling in place, isn't it?"
And suddenly, the calming atmosphere was about to get ruin with a flash of white Kazami instinctively knew was coming.
"What are you two whispering about?!"
"AH!!"
Brenda yelled into Lun Yuo ears as she jumped with fright! Since they weren't in their God bloodlines state and Lun Yuo was distracted by talking to Kazami, it was the perfect setup with Brenda insane speed to startle her.
Kazami predicted something like this would happen, but it still didn't help an amused smile from growing on his face.
"Hahahah!! You see that, Redhead! That's how you make this girl so fluster!" Brenda wildly laughs with Dela behind her, having the look of not wanting to be here. Dela's eyes clearly saw the terrifying smiling expression of Lun Yuo.
"Dear Bree~, perhaps you want some of my personal punishment~?"
"You see that little M? That's the antics of a crazed woman. If it was me, I would've given Yu a good ol surprising slap to the back to startle her." Kuzumi remarked in amusement as she was watching the glaring contest between Brenda and Lun Yuo. One showed a broad toothy feral smile while the other had an ominous creepy smile.
"Um...I don't think Senior Sister Yuo would appreciate that either. And can you please stop calling me little M!" Kuzumi smile grew into a fearless one as she said,
"Why? From your little fantasies of brother, I would've sworn you're a little maso-"
"Ah, young ones, we have arrived!"
Sect Master Borson interrupted all of their antics as he genuinely couldn't understand four specific ones. Kazami gave him a faint pressuring feeling; he didn't want to know how Brenda thinks it would be damaging to talk to Kuzumi and Lun Yuo, reminded of a sweet deadly angel.
All the worse, he still felt Guardian Chui heavily lock on to him even when he couldn't do anything to them!
But no one notice Sect Master Borson turmoil as all eight youths' eyes gazed upon the small building up close now that they landed. The building was all purple in design with a single substantial artistic purple star at the front of the building.
"Come on in."
Sect Master Borson invited as he opened the door for them. Walking inside, they all saw several shelves stacked with limited jade scrolls, weapons, armor, and talisman materials.
But despite the small quantity of it, all of them could sense everything here was of high quality! It even matches and somewhat surpasses the items Guardian Chui has in her courtyard.
"Yoh? Is this like your sect secret treasury or something?" Brenda asked as her eyes were mainly attracted to the talisman materials.
"Partly. This is a room we have store only for talents who, for sure, have the potential to lead our sect to the summit of the continent. From our Divine Ancestor words, he claimed only ones who will surely make it to the God realms, surmount at least one level in cultivation, and has the approval of the second Ancestor can come here. For countless years no one was able to match these requirements until you four came along." Sect Master Borson explained, and Lun Yuo had a question.
"Second Ancestor? Is the current Ancestor the second one?"
"Correct. Besides our Divine Ancestor, there is only two Ancestor here. And both have the loyalty, wisdom, and experience to tell which genius youth is worth it or not to come here."
Another Ancestor? Must've been why it took a day to come here then. Kazami thought and assume the first one have special elixirs or pills to stay alive for so long, and Ancestor Ardis is the younger one here.
"As for what you can choose here, you're all free to pick out one Heavenly Rank cultivation skill, a Gold-rank weapon or armor, and since you practice talisman creation young Brenda, you pick up any materials you need."
Contrary to what Sect Master Borson thought they all look calm and complacent as Kazami nodded saying,
"Sounds good. Alright, we all should choose what really suits us. Because in a week, we'll see what impossible mission this sect has to offer and take it on!"
"Hoh, so we're finally going to move our bodies once again? About time too, I've been feeling really cramped just being cooped up here all the time." Kuzumi was pumped at the thought of finally traversing on the road again.
Being in a sect truly did limit her too much, and she wanted to let her hair down.
"Only a week! I'm not sure we'll be able to breakthrough to Heaven King Sea much less master something like a Heavenly Rank skill!" Luo Ke exclaimed since a week for them goes by in a flash.
"Relax Ke, with Senior Brother and Sisters, don't you think they'll have a regime for us to learn in a week?" As soon as Dela did say this, she suddenly felt cold sweat dribble down her back. It was like a demon was marking their prey, but she dared didn't turn to look at the other four.
"An impossible mission you want? I think I may have something that'll perfectly suit your tastes." Sect Master Borson announced catching their interest once again.

The Hunt
Cecily's blade swung, hitting its mark as always. The man's arm fell to the cold grass of the prison with a familiar thud. He let out a blood curdling scream. A warning to the rest. Stay away, the Hunter is here. That's the name they'd given her, the Hunter. After she cut off the man who tried to rape hers masculinity, they stayed away. She'd made it clear anyone who tried to touch her would be hunted and slaughtered. Cecily kneeled down, pushing the man's face into the dirt so she could use his back as a seat while she trifled through his belongings. "You're hurting my ears," she told him, no remorse in her voice. "Quiet down before I really do kill you."The man but his lip, well aware that she wasn't lying. Sobs shook him, making for an uncomfortable seat. She, however, didn't particularly feel the beed to kill him. It happened, not often, but it did. "Oh, hush up," she hissed, taking out a bag of rations with her metal hand, "it doesn't hurt that bad."With her good, human hand, she dropped the plastic bag of food into her own bag. She pushed up, off the man back. As she was about to walk away, bag slung over her shoulder, brushing against her autumn colored braid, she turned back to him. "Consider yourself lucky," she said, no hatred in her voice, there never was. "Consider yourself lucky that you didn't do anything stupid. And even luckier if one of the scum bagged criminals in here feel a little light in their hearts and help you. Consider yourself luckier if you die there."With that, her old black and white Nike sneakers carried her off into the brush of the huge prison.
