The way the Inner court exam was designed, each part of the exam had its own concealed place for testing. They wanted the testing areas to be completely isolated from the outside world so that the disciples wouldn't get distracted. However, between each of their tests there was a gap where elders, inner court disciples, and core court disciples could see and track the progress of the disciples doing the exam. Most people only stayed to see who was in the lead. Others were there to cheer for their family clansmen and friends.
"Should we send someone in to go check on them?" one elder suggested.
"Only a few hours has passed, you need to be patient," another elder responded.
The Inner Court Exam was timed, so the outer court disciples taking the exam needed to finish it before the time ran out. That's why many people were feeling anxious even though only a short amount of time had gone by.
Meanwhile underground, Xiao Fang had been cultivating his [ Illusory Body ] method for several hours till he finally made a breakthrough to the 9th stage of the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Foundation realm.
This was the highest he could reach with the incomplete method. Now if he wanted to proceed further with this cultivation method he would need to pass the exam and start practicing the complete method instead.
After hunting more tiered beasts to make the pendant shine bright red again, Xiao Fang eventually walked towards the exit at the end of the cave.
On the women's side, Xiao Hei was also on her way out, but she was discretely tailing behind 2 other girls. The two girls were Bai Fan and Li Xiang.
Since she could only use [ Stealth ] for a short period of time and would have to wait for a few seconds before using it again, she used it reservingly.
The three of them had reached the end of the cave then saw a tunnel going back up to the surface. Just when they were able to see the light at the end of the cave, they started to hear faint sounds coming from the end of the tunnel.
"Do you hear that?" Li Xiang asked.
"I do. Unlike the entrance exam, there will be people following our progress," Bai Fan replied.
"Wait. People will be seeing us?"
Li Xiang began fixing her hair and dusting off her ripped and tattered clothes. After spending the entire day hunting tiered beasts she was tired and dirty.
Although Bai Fan was in even more of a mess, she didn't bother cleaning herself off. She didn't seem to care all that much about her appearance, but in truth she didn't need to. Even when she was looking like this, she was still the prettiest girl in the outer court.
"Ah wait, I can't go out there looking like this. Just give me a moment," Li Xiang said in a bit of panic.
Bai Fan sighed, but still agreed to wait for her.
After a few minutes they heard someone quickly coming up the zigzagging tunnel. The moment she turned the corner, Bai Fan and Li Xiang finally saw who it was.
"Sister Zhao."
"It seems that you completed the first part of the exam before me. I'm impressed, Bai Fan," Zhao Pan replied.
"I can't accept your compliment. Unlike you, I had a bit of help."
While Bai Fan acknowledged Zhao Pan's demon level talent, she was still a whole year younger than her. If Bai Fan had an extra year to train, she was confident she would've been able to beat Zhao Pan. What Bai Fan didn't know was that Zhao Pan didn't spend all of her time body cultivating like Bai Fan did with her spirit cultivation, she was also quite talented in her spirit cultivation as well.
Zhao Pan looked over Bai Fan's shoulder and saw Li Xiang combing her hair. Li Xiang was an incredibly beautiful girl, but she could be a bit shy and insecure about her appearance in front of a large crowd. She had emerald green eyes, light brown hair, and stood around 165cm tall.
"That's enough, Li Xiang. You look fine," Bai Fan said impatiently before walking out of the cave.
Li Xiang pouted then put her little jade comb away before following her out.
Zhao Pan was a bit amused. She waited a few seconds then walked out as well.
As soon as Bai Fan stepped out of the cave she was greeted by cheers, claps, and whistles. The inner court and core court disciples all knew who she was because her mother was a Supreme Elder.
After giving the elder her red pendant, the elder told her to walk up to the stage and introduce herself before continuing to the next part of the exam.
Bai Fan nodded then walked up the stage before looking out to the crowd.
"My name is Bai Fan, and I'm a first-year."
Bai Fan turned to proceed to the next stage of the exam, but then the crowd all started asking her one question,
"Are you a body or spirit cultivator?"
Bai Fan wasn't expecting to be asked that question so she was a bit surprised by it.
"I'm a Spirit Cultivator."
Suddenly the crowd exploded into cheers once again, but this time there was a noticeable difference between the body and spirit cultivators in the crowd.
Next up was Li Xiang.
Before Li Xiang could even say anything, several people within the crowd started cheering like crazy.
They weren't just cheering, clapping, and whistling, they were also blowing horns, banging drums, and waving white makeshift flags with the character 'Li' written on it. These disciples were all the Li family clansmen or the subsidiary family clansmen under the Li family clan.
Since Li Xiang was the only daughter of the Li family clan's Patriarch, they all felt like they were sending their praise directly to the Patriarch himself.
Li Xiang smiled brightly. She was almost embarrassed to be receiving so much praise like this.
With a soft voice she delightfully introduced herself to the crowd.
"My name is Li Xiang, and I'm a first-year spirit cultivator."
The crowd was explosive, even the elders were in shock. It was extremely rare for both the 1st and 2nd placed disciples to be in their first year.
Li Xiang walked over to Bai Fan.
"Looks like you're quite popular. They cheered twice as loud for you than they did for me."
"Ah, too embarrassing," Li Xiang smiled as she scratched the back of her head.
Bai Fan looked back at the cave exit. She was surprised to hear that she was the first to finish the first test.
'Was I really just imagining the girl with the red pendant?' she thought. She tried to think of reasons why the mysterious girl would hide her talents from the public, but was unable to think of anything.
"What are you looking at?" Li Xiang interrupted Bai Fan's train of thought.
"It's nothing," Bai Fan said as she turned around to continue the exam.
"Oh, keeping secrets with me now. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"I told you it was nothing."
"Please?"
"Get lost."
While the disciples were waiting for the next person to arrive, they talked amongst themselves.
Within that crowd were a few core court disciples, one of which was named Li Qin.
Li Qin wore a thin white robe that swayed in the air with just the slightest breeze. Her black hair flowed down her back resembling a beautiful ink painting of a waterfall on a white canvas.
Her aura was so profound her presence felt almost illusionary, and her gaze was so deep it always seemed as if she was contemplating the world.
Li Qui was none other than the number one genius from the Li family clan, but amongst her peers in the core court, her talent was only slightly above average.
"Congratulations, Li Qin. Li Xiang seems to be even more remarkable than you," a fellow core court disciple said.
Li Qin didn't even bother looking at her when she replied, "Mn, she's talented."
"Is that all you can say? I thought you'd be happy to see someone from the Li clan do well on the exam."
"Many geniuses fail due to being over-praised. It's better to wait and see than to be disappointed by the failure you contributed to create."
"The failure I contributed to create?" The other core court disciple didn't understand what Li Qin was saying.
In the time that they were talking, Zhao Pan had already introduced herself and was on her way to the next test.
When Zhao Pan said that she was a body cultivator the body cultivators in the crowd got up off their seats and started cheering louder than ever.
There weren't many body cultivators in the inner and core courts, so to see one in the top 3 was a big deal to them.
Xiao Hei understood the gist of things so after a bit of time passed she finally walked out of the cave then walked up to the stage.
"My name is Fei Lin, and I'm a first year body cultivator."
The elders and body cultivators in the crowd started going crazy with joy. It really seemed like this year was the beginning of a golden era for the sect.
"I've never seen the inner court disciples so excited before," one elder said.
"Can you blame them? Something like this isn't an usual occurrence," another elder replied.
As time went by, the crowd slowly became smaller and smaller. Many of the spectators started heading over to the next waiting area because they didn't want to miss seeing Bai Fan or Li Xiang finish the next test.
Several minutes later, the crowd had all moved to the next waiting area, but it was around that time that Xiao Fang walked out of the darkness of the cave.
After stepping out into the light, he was immediately stopped by two elders. One elder took his shining red pendant while the other elder curiously waved her hand in front of his face.
Xiao Fang then pretended to dodge her hand.
"So you can see even with blindfolds on, very interesting," the elder said.
Xiao Fang nodded once.
"Interesting boy." The elder said as she watched him walk away.
The elder assumed Xiao Fang wasn't really blind and was able to see though his blindfold. In the cultivation world, there were many interesting things like that, so she didn't think much of it. The other elder on the other hand seemed totally flabbergasted.
"What are you so shocked about? You don't actually think he's blind, do you?"
"His robes..."
"Hm? What about his robes?"
"Didn't you see it?"
"Stop beating around the bush. What the hell are you talking about?"
"Didn't he just come out of the 2nd level of the Ancestral Training Ground? How are his robes still so clean? There isn't even a scratch on him."
The other elder finally understood what she was talking about, but she couldn't believe it. She looked back at Xiao Fang on the stage with wide eyes. His robes really were clean.
"How did he…"
Xiao Fang didn't seem as if he had just came out of a life threatening forest, he looked like he just finished taking a stroll through a harmless garden. If that wasn't amazing enough, Xiao Fang was also alone.
Facing the remaining disciples in the stands, Xiao Fang introduced himself.
"My name is Long Wang, and I'm a first-year disciple."
Since he was a man, no one cared to ask whether he was a spirit or body cultivator.
"First-year? Is he really a first year?" The elders couldn't believe what they were hearing.
If he was a 9th or 10th-year disciple, then it would've been more believable that he could come out the first test unharmed, but 1st-year? It was simply too unbelievable.

"... there isn't a scratch on him."
The Illusory Ancestral Training Ground is divided into 9 levels. To separate the guys from the girls, the girls were put on the 1st level while the guys were put on the 2nd. This was why there weren't too many people surprised that Xiao Hei came out of the first test looking as clean as Xiao Fang did.
1st level: 2nd - 3rd tiered beasts
2nd level: 3rd - 4th tiered beasts
3rd level: 4th - 5th tiered beasts
Etc...
Tier levels to Cultivation Realms:
1st Tier = ~5th stage foundation realm
2nd Tier = ~1st stage Refinement realm
3rd Tier = ~5th stage Refinement realm
4th Tier = ~1st stage Spirit Core realm
etc...
Since the [ Illusory Body ] method could increase a cultivator's body power by an entire realm, the sect would usually only recommend girls in the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm to train in the 2nd level of the Ancestral Training Grounds. However, most, if not all of the men in the outer court, hadn't even started practicing a cultivation method yet. Although it wasn't too uncommon to find a few Spirit core or Solid Body realm cultivators doing the inner court exam, they were usually much older than Xiao Fang was.
Inside the 2nd testing area, Xiao Fang was walking through a hallway when he suddenly heard an illusory elder speak.
"If you are registered under an elder, proceed through the right door. If you have no master, enter through the left."
Xiao Fang walked up to the right door, but before he could open it the elder suddenly spoke again.
"Through this door is a maze. Your objective is to reach the other end. If you cannot pass this round before the sun comes down you will fail."
There was more than 12 hours left till the sun came down, so time wasn't an issue for him.
Xiao Fang walked through the right door then scanned the area once inside. What he sensed surprised him.
There were several openings to the maze, but nearly all of them reached the end without any blocked ends.
'Is this really a maze? Even a child could pass this test,' Xiao Fang thought.
Without thinking too much into it, Xiao Fang began walking down a random path. He was paying close attention to his surroundings, but nothing happened. The further down the path he walked the less cautious he became.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Fang removed his blindfold and took a peek. What he saw left him speechless.
The path he was on was twisting and turning, there were walls that he couldn't sense with his ears and there were paths that were actually a wall. Just looking around him made him feel dizzy.
"Now I get it. This explains the strong illusory qi I was sensing when I stepped into this maze."
Perhaps if Xiao Fang could only use his eyes it might've taken him much longer to complete this test, but since he could sense his surroundings with his ears, this test was like taking a walk in the park for him.
"Hmm, I wonder how Xiao Hei is doing,"
Since Xiao Fang had a lot of time, he tried to scan the entire maze, but this time with the intention to find Xiao Hei. Since the maze was huge, it took some time to find her, but when he did he was surprised because she was already almost halfway to the end.
'Not bad,' he thought.
Xiao Fang was a bit surprised by how well she was doing in the short amount of time that she was in here for. However, he quickly noticed that she wasn't alone.
'It seems she's made a new friend.' Xiao Fang was a bit amused by the thought.
He knew how much she hated humans, so he didn't expect her to be making friends with them so easily.
Curious about who her new friend was, Xiao Fang eavesdropped on their conversation, but he was unable to learn anything about her.
Xiao Fang was interested to know who this new girl could be for Xiao Hei to like her, so he altered his path to intersect the 2 girls.
With his speed, it took him less than a few minutes to reach them. Xiao Fang took his blindfold off when he was close enough to see them.
The girl walking with Xiao Hei had long brown-ish orange hair, a cute face, and stood around 156cm tall. More importantly, she had a small ass, but nicely shaped B cup tits.
Although he couldn't imagine having too much fun with her in bed, that didn't discourage him from wanting to try.
'How could an innocent minded person, such as myself, have such lewd thoughts at a time like this. And it's towards Xiao Hei's new friend too. I guess Xiao Hei wouldn't mind...'
Dirty thoughts aside, Xiao Fang was going to approach her when he suddenly remembered the man he buried in the ancestral training grounds.
Xiao Fang stopped, did he not learn anything from that experience? After thinking about it for a little while, Xiao Fang finally took out his blindfold then blindfolded himself again.
{"Xiao Hei, turn around."} Xiao Fang said to Xiao Hei through a spirit transmission.
Xiao Hei had a sudden look of surprise in her eyes as she turned around.
"Hm? Did you discover something?" The girl next to Xiao Hei asked.
Without replying to her question, Xiao Hei suddenly started running towards the twisting and warping path.
"Hey wait, for me," the girl cried out as she tried to catch up to Xiao Hei.
She knew Xiao Hei was much stronger than she looked, but seeing her run so fast still surprised her.
In the next moment, Xiao Hei was gone from sight. The girl didn't know whether to keep chasing or to just forget about her and continue doing the exam. She was upset because the deeper she went the harder the maze got, and she relied heavily on Xiao Hei to get to this point.
Although she wasn't going to give up, she couldn't help but frown.
However, a few seconds later she saw Xiao Hei again.
"Fei Lin, you're back! Why did you run off like that?"
The girl then looked up at the man standing behind Xiao Hei.
"Who's he?"

"This is Long Wang, he's a close friend of mine."
Xiao Fang told Xiao Hei to refer to him as Long Wang from now on and to introduce him as such.
"Long Wang, huh..."
"Xiao Fei Lin, aren't you going to introduce her to me?" Xiao Fang said.
"Ah right, this is Li Xiang, Patriarch's daughter of the Li Family clan."
"I see, so it's another Li family clansmen," Xiao Fang said. He finally realized why Xiao Hei was being friendly with her.
"Another Li family clansmen?" Li Xiang replied.
"We know someone else with the surname Li. Well, more than know actually, she is my fiancée," Xiao Fang replied.
"You're fiancée! Who is it?"
"Perhaps another time. We should get back to doing the exam," Xiao Fang suggested.
Xiao Fang didn't like revealing too much about himself to strangers, and he preferred to keep certain things about himself a mystery so that people would be curious about him.
What Xiao Fang didn't realize was just how effective it was on her. She was the Patriarch's only daughter in the Li family clan, so she felt it was her responsibility to know everything about her people. However, this was the first time she was hearing about Long Wang.
"Hey, Fei Lin. Do you know who his fiancée is?" Li Xiang whisperer.
Xiao Hei smiled as she nodded.
"Can you tell me who it is?"
"It's Li Lian."
Xiao Fang felt like he was suddenly hit by a massive boulder. He didn't expect Xiao Hei to reveal a secret like that so easily. Although the secret wasn't big, it was still something Li Lian didn't want people to know yet.
'She must really trust Li Xiang,' Xiao Fang thought.
Despite learning who his fiancée was, Li Xiang was curious about him now, more than ever. Even if Li Lian was born into a noble family, she still had a fairly poor reputation. She wasn't given the nickname Crazy Lian for nothing.
"Long Wang, is your fiancée really Li Lian?" she asked for him to confirm.
"It is," Xiao Fang admitted. "Li Lian wants to keep this a secret, can I trust you not to share this information with anyone?"
"... Sure, I won't tell anyone about this." Li Xiang replied almost unconvincingly. Truth was, she was fairly bad at keeping secrets.
Xiao Fang sighed, but there was nothing he could do about it now. What was done was done, all he could do now was move on and pretend nothing happened.
Li Xiang wanted to learn more about him, but he didn't seem too interested in talking. Without even realizing it, she was now following him through the maze, and so was Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei seemed content to follow Xiao Fang without question, but Li Xiang wanted to work on it together. Every time she wanted to share her input on which path to take it seemed that they had already made up their mind.
"Shouldn't we think about this first? How do we know that we're not just walking around in circles," Li Xiang said.
"Don't worry about that, Long Wang is really good with this sort of stuff. We should trust him," Xiao Hei reaffirmed her.
Li Xiang was reluctant to follow him, but she did so anyway. The terrain gradually began to change, signifying that they were reaching the end. However, they eventually encountered a problem.
The path they were walking on eventually ended. There wasn't a wall blocking their path, but a large abyss.
"Long Wang, wait!!" Li Xiang screamed.
She then jumped in front of him, stopping him before he could fall over the cliff.
Despite being blindfolded, Xiao Fang was easily able to navigate through the maze without any problems, so why was Xiao Fang not able to see the cliff in front of him.
'Could it be another illusion,' Li Xiang thought.
If it was really an illusion, then she feared that she had made a fool of herself. However, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see through the illusion. Eventually she was completely convinced that it wasn't an illusion. If she didn't stop him, he definitely would have fallen.
Xiao Hei was also confused. The reason she didn't stop him was because she trusted him wholeheartedly. She wanted to confirm it by tossing a stone into the abyss, so she picked up a stone then tossed it down.
Li Xiang saw what Xiao Hei was doing and thought it was a clever idea.
Xiao Hei released the stone then watched the stone fall. The most frightening thing was that they never heard the rock hitting the bottom. Just how deep is this hole.
A slight chill ran down Xiao Hei's spine as she looked up at Xiao Fang. She didn't realize it before, but it really seemed as if Li Xiang had saved his life.
"How do we get past it?" Li Xiang wondered.
{"Xiao Fang, can't we just jump over it?"} Xiao Hei asked Xiao Fang via spirit transmission.
The door was actually only a few dozen meters away, so the easiest way for them to get to the other side was if they simply jumped over it. However, Xiao Fang rejected that idea. He had no intentions of revealing his body cultivation realm to Li Xiang, they had only just met.
Li Xiang suddenly pointed out to the right. It seemed that there was a rope connecting one of the paths to the exit.
"We need to find the path that leads to that exit and walk across that rope to get to the other side," Li Xiang suggested.
She wasn't excited about going back to find the correct path, but it seemed like it was their only option.
"There are no other paths. All of them lead to this one. An interesting concept fitting for us cultivators."
Xiao Fang began to read the words carved above the exit door in large characters.
[ There are no shortcuts. A path of a cultivator is a path against the Heavens ]
"What does that even mean?" Li Xiang said.
"There are many paths a cultivator can take, but there is only one dao; one way. A way against the natural order, a way against all odds and reason, a way against the heavens."
"What does that mean? You're not making any sense," Li Xiang complained.
However, Xiao Hei's eyes were sparkling in admiration. She understood exactly what he was saying and agreed wholeheartedly. Nothing about being a cultivator was easy, you must abandon the luxury of comfort and push past your limits everyday. That was what separated a great cultivator from a mediocre one.
Xiao Fang then turned his head slightly towards Xiao Hei's direction.
"How are you with water."
"I hate it," Xiao Hei replied bluntly.
"In that case you better stick the landing."
Li Xiang couldn't follow their conversation, but she was getting a bad feeling from it.
"What are you 2 planning?" Li Xiang asked nervously.
"There's only one way to pass this exam. If you want to pass, then I suggest you hold on."
"Hold on to what?"
Xiao Fang suddenly grabbed Li Xiang then jumped into the bottomless pit. Xiao Hei, with a smirk on her face, followed Xiao Fang down.
"Aghhhhhh!!!! You crazy bastard!!"

The moment Xiao Fang jumped, Li Xiang screamed.
Suddenly the whole maze began to warp in front of them. Before she realized it, they had suddenly stopped moving.
Li Xiang eventually opened her eyes and saw that the exit was just 10 meters away. The strangest thing about it was that everything around them had changed. The maze was no long behind them, they were in a completely empty space, and the floor that Xiao Fang stood on was so black that it reflected everything perfectly like a mirror.
"What? How did we..." Li Xiang couldn't understand what just happened.
In the next moment she heard a loud splash.
Li Xiang looked at the spot where she heard the splash and saw ripples in the mirror-like water that Xiao Fang stood on. It was at that moment that she realized that Xiao Fang wasn't standing on land, but a body of water.
Xiao Hei suddenly peeked her head out of the water.
"Ugh, I hate water," Xiao Hei complained.
"Why do I find that hard to believe," Xiao Fang said with a smirk and a naughty look in his eyes.
Xiao Hei didn't catch the meaning behind his words. She just looked at Li Xiang enviously in his arms. She couldn't help feeling bitter, because if Li Xiang wasn't here then the person being carried by Xiao Fang would've been her instead.
Xiao Hei took her arms out of the water then a layer of qi briefly shined blue around her hands. Using it as support, she climbed out of the water till she was standing on the surface like Xiao Fang.
"Fei Lin, are you alright?" Li Xiang asked.
"Mn, the abyss is just an illusion. Whoever cast this illusion must've been extremely powerful."
"How did you know it was an illusion?"
"I didn't."
"Then why did you jump?"
Xiao Hei looked up at Xiao Fang then said, "Because I trusted him."
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Li Xiang looked up at Xiao Fang. Even when she was unable to see it, Xiao Fang was able to do it blindfolded.
'Who is this guy? Why have I never heard about him before?' Li Xiang had so many questions, but she couldn't bring herself to ask them.
It was at that moment that she realized she was still being carried by him. She wanted him to put her down, but she didn't know how to walk on water like he did and she preferred to be dry.
She looked away embarrassingly. She didn't feel anything at first, but the longer she stayed in his arms like that the warmer her cheeks felt.
"This position is a bit embarrassing, can you carry me on your back instead?" Li Xiang asked.
After all he did, she felt like she was asking too much from him, but she felt like her heart was going to pop out of her chest if he kept carrying her like that.
"Hm? Sure, why not," Xiao Fang replied.
Li Xiang reached up to wrap her arms around his neck before maneuvering onto his back. Xiao Fang then carried her legs up to his sides, but it invoked a reaction he didn't expect from her.
Li Xiang planted her face on his back as if to hide her face, and her hands made small fists on his shoulders. It was at that moment that he realized that his hands were too high up her thighs. Any higher and he would've been touching her butt.
Even if she didn't complain, he still found it a bit inappropriate so he retreated his hands lower down her legs before walking. She could tell that he realized her discomfort, so her heart felt a bit more at ease when he took his hands away from that area.
The three of them eventually passed through the exit, but Li Xiang climbed off of Xiao Fang's back before they did.
When Xiao Fang opened the door, it didn't lead back outside like they had expected it to, but it led directly into another large room with someone standing in the center of it.
Standing at the center of the large room was an elder. However, this wasn't just some ordinary elder, the colour of her robes were white and purple, and her hair was long, silky, and as white as snow. Although she was simply standing there, she was emitting a light majestic glow that gave her a profound presence.
She was a Supreme Elder, the same one that gave the speech at the start of the exam.
"Disciple greets Supreme Elder," the three of them greeted her respectfully.
The supreme elder was a bit surprised. She wasn't surprised by how quickly they completed the 2nd test, she was surprised to see Xiao Fang and Li Jiang still dry.
'Could they have seen through my illusion?' She thought.
She was a bit worried that she had made the test too difficult to pass, but it seemed there were disciples able to see right through it.
After a moment of thought, she quickly got over it then greeted them.
"Congratulations for making it this far. This will be your final test."
The supreme elder released the illusory qi from her body to create a clone of herself.
"To pass this test you must make 2 perfect clones of yourself. Anything less than perfect will be a fail."
Li Xiang was the first to make her clones, followed by Xiao Hei then Xiao Fang.
The elder watched as the 3 of them easily made perfect clones of themselves.
She walked around each of them, inspecting them closely.
"Hmm. Good, very good."
Even though she said she wanted them to be perfect, she didn't really mean it. The level they were able to display with this simple technique far surpassed what she expected out of the outer court disciples. Although there were a few rookie mistakes, they were still much better than some of the inner court disciples in the sect. However, when she inspected Xiao Fang's clone she suddenly froze.
She stared at the two clones standing side by side with Xiao Fang. His clone was so well crafted that even she was unable to discern which was real and from the fakes. She just went with her gut and picked one.
"Mn, not bad. I could hardly tell the difference," she said.
"Hm? Elder, I'm not the clone. This is," Xiao Fang corrected her.
"Ah, of course."
She looked at his clones thinking that he played a prank on her. There was no way a disciple at his level should've been able to make a clone this flawless.
This wasn't something an [ Illusory Body ] Foundation Realm cultivator was capable of doing. This level of accuracy was usually only possible from elders with years of experience.
Truth was, not even Xiao Fang realized how perfect his clones were, but since dual cultivating with Yu An and some of the elders in the black paradise sect, he was able to quickly learn and perfect the technique much faster than any of his peers.
"Do we pass?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.
"Huh. Oh right, you all pass."
Following those words, Li Xiang clasped her hands and bowed her head, she could hardly contain her joy.
Using her finger and some spirit qi, the supreme elder created 3 small identical images in the air, one for each of them. The images made with spirit qi suddenly imprinted itself into their upper right arms.
The qi seemed to have marked their skins like a tattoo, but after a few seconds it glowed one last time before hiding under their skins.
They received a less complicated version of the same insignia after passing the entrance exam so they knew what it was for. Anytime they needed to verify their identification as a disciple of the sect they would only need to channel their qi into their right arms to make the insignia glow and show that they were inner court disciples.
The supreme elder then took them over to a peculiar looking cauldron. Cylindrical in shape, it stood 6 meters tall with a radius of 2 meters across.
The elder briefly explained it's function then asked,
"Who would like to go first?"

Report chapter
Xiao Fang, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiang didn't move. They wanted to know what it was before stepping inside. Just from the outer appearance alone, it looked anything but harmless.
Seeing the hesitation from the three disciples, the Supreme Elder realized that it was probably their first time seeing something like this, so she explained.
"This is what we call a Spirit Cauldron. Inside you'll have to do 3 different tests. How you do on those tests will determine what class you will be put in. So if you pass the 1st test you will be put into the Insect class, if you pass 2 you will be put into the Snake-class, and, of course, if you can pass all three tests you will be put into the prestigious Tiger-class."
There were over 25,000 inner court disciples in the sect, but they were divided into 5 different classes: From worse to best they were:
No-class: 13,000
Insect class: ~8,000 disciples
Snake class: ~3,000 disciples
Tiger class: ~1,000 disciples
Phoenix class: ~100 disciples
Dragon class: Top 20 disciples
The supreme elder briefly explained about the benefit of being in each class, then explained a bit about what to expect inside the cauldron.
Li Xiang was the first person to enter the cauldron. Upon entering, the door immediately sealed her inside, but she didn't panic. She followed the elder's explanation and transferred her spirit body into the cauldron core.
After a few seconds the cauldron was activated. Watching from the outside, Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei could only guess what was happening inside.
Suddenly a narrow band of light began to circle the base of the cauldron.
"What does that light mean?" Xiao Hei asked the supreme elder.
"It means she successfully passed the first stage."
Xiao Hei gasped.
An hour later, a 2nd band of light suddenly lit up.
"Now there are 2. Does that mean she beat the 2nd level?" Xiao Hei asked excitedly.
The elder simply nodded her head with a smile. She was very old now, so it made her happy to see someone with so much energy like Xiao Hei getting excited about something like this.
Xiao Hei could hardly sit still. Truth was, it wasn't the first time she was hearing about these kinds of cauldrons, but she just never got to try it before. She was too excited and she couldn't wait for it to be her turn.
After another hour, the 3rd band of light began to encircle the cauldron.
"She did it!" Xiao Hei said in surprise.
Suddenly the door to the cauldron opened and Li Xiang stepped out.
Her clothes were fine and there wasn't a single scratch or bruise on her body, but she looked extremely fatigued. Her complexion was ashy pale and she was panting heavily. She seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Luckily, the supreme elder was there to catch her before she fell.
"Did I do it?" Li Xiang asked weakly.
"Mn, you did. Rest now, child," the supreme elder replied before laying her down on the ground.
There weren't many people willing to push themselves this far. To see someone with so much talent push themselves this far said a lot about her character.
The elder helped her lie down so that she could recover her strength.
Next up was Xiao Hei.
Before stepping in, Xiao Hei looked back at Xiao Fang. She had a look in her eye which made her seem like she wanted to ask his permission to go all out.
Xiao Fang gave her a simple nod then she quickly jumped in.
'It seems she still wants to ask for my permission for everything. Perhaps the more she hangs around Li Xiang the more independent thinking she'll become,' Xiao Fang thought.
Xiao Fang noticed the Supreme elder looking at him. He knew that she was probably curious about him, but he decided to remain silent.
Before Xiao Hei looked at Xiao Fang, the supreme elder had actually forgotten about Xiao Fang. He didn't have an aura at all, it was almost as if he wasn't even there.
Every cultivator is capable of suppressing their aura, but it gets increasingly difficult to hide it from cultivators with a higher cultivation realm.
The supreme elder was in a bit of a daze. She was at the 3rd stage of the Divine Spirit realm. It should've been extremely difficult for anyone under the Profound Spirit realm to hide their cultivation from her, but not only was she unable to detect it, she couldn't even feel a hint of his spirit cultivation at all. There was only one explanation she could think of.
'Hmm, but how could he make it past the maze without any spirit comprehension?' she thought.
She then remembered the amiable look Xiao Hei gave him.
'I see. So that little girl must've helped him.'
After that thought crossed her mind, she remembered his perfect clone. His clone was so perfect, not even she was able to distinguish the clone from the real body. Putting two and two together, she eventually came to the conclusion that it was impossible for a disciple to make a clone as good as that, so she started to suspect him of cheating.
Since she believed he cheated his way here, she wanted to see how he was going to cheat his way out of the spirit cauldron space. If Xiao Fang really had no spirit cultivation as she suspected, then he would suffer miserably inside of the spirit cauldron space.
Even though the supreme elder wasn't showing any emotion on her face, Xiao Fang could still hear her heart change paces a few times. He didn't understand what she was thinking, but whatever it was it didn't worry him.
The elder finally looked back at the cauldron and was shocked by what she saw. The first light was already shining around the cauldron.
'It seems she's already passed the first stage. She's quite the talent one," the supreme elder thought out loud.
Just as those words escaped her lips, the 2nd light appeared.
"This..."
Although the supreme elder was amazed, it wasn't something she hadn't seen before. In fact, this kind of speed was only a bit faster than the average tiger class disciples. The reason she was amazed at all was because this was only her first time doing it.
"Good, hahaha, very good! A talent like her might even be able to reach the Dragon class in just a few years," the supreme elder once again said her thoughts out loud.
Although they were all inner court disciples, there was a huge disparity between each class of disciples. The disciples in the Insect class were as insignificant as ants, while those in the Tiger, Phoenix, and Dragon classes were held in high esteem. Especially those in the Dragon class, they were idols in the eyes of many and they would rarely be seen out in public. They were only a step away from the core court after all, so no one treated them disrespectfully.
The supreme elder spoke out loud because she wanted Xiao Fang to realize just how talented Xiao Hei was and how worthless he was in comparison. She didn't want Xiao Fang to hinder Xiao Hei's path, so after today she hoped to see their relationship come to an end.
After a few more minutes, the final light began to shine around the cauldron, indicating that she had successfully passed all 3 tests.
Xiao Fang sighed inwardly. He couldn't help thinking that Xiao Hei got too excited again.
The door to the cauldron opened up, and Xiao Hei stepped out of it with large strides. She wore a smug expression on her face as if she was trying to show Li Xiang how awesome she was. Unfortunately, Li Xiang was in no condition to see what was going on, so Xiao Hei felt as if her achievements landed on deaf ears.
Suddenly the supreme elder approached Xiao Hei.
"Little girl, I don't think I've seen someone as talented as you in nearly a decade. What's your name?"
"My name? Ah, my name is Fei Lin." Xiao Hei replied.
"Fei Lin. Who is your master?" The elder asked.
The reason she asked for her master's name was because for there to be such a talented disciple in the sect, it was likely that her master was equally as extraordinary.
"My master's name is Su Yun." Xiao Hei replied again.
"Su Yun?"
The supreme elder recognized the name, but since she was a mere outer court elder, she hardly knew anything about her.
As they spoke, Xiao Fang was making his way towards the cauldron. The supreme elder watched as Xiao Fang entered the cauldron, then a subtle upward curve emerged on the corner of her lips.

The moment Xiao Fang stepped into the cauldron, the door immediately closed behind him like it did for Xiao Hei and Li Xiang. It was pitch black, but it made no difference to Xiao Fang since he was blindfolded.
He casually sat on the ground then crossed his legs. After a bit of concentration, he was able to send his spirit body into the cauldron's core. Xiao Fang surroundings began to quickly change. In the next moment he appeared to be in a totally different space.
Since he was purely in spirit form he no longer had his blindfold covering his eyes. So, using his eyes, he was able to see everything around him. The room was completely empty, but it was also really big. It was a bit wider than it was tall, and there were stairs spiraling along the wall, leading to the 2nd floor. If he had to guess, it seemed as if he was in a very large pagoda.
Suddenly, an elderly woman's voice sounded out,
"Welcome to the Illusory Spirit Trials. When you're ready, please proceed to the second floor to begin your test."
Xiao Fang wasn't one to spend time idling around, so he immediately began walking towards the stairs. However, Xiao Fang stopped only after taking his first step.
"Hm? What's this?" He said while looking down at his core.
Although his spirit body looked no different than his physical one, there was a glaring difference within him that was hard to miss.
Looking down he could see something glowing within his dantian. Although it was extremely unusual, there was something about it that was familiar.
'Is this my Spirit Attribute?' Xiao Fang thought.
He could still remember the first time he tried using it and how much pain it brought him. Since then he assumed something went wrong and refrained from practicing it, but looking at it now, it seemed as if it was perfectly fine.
There was a bright light blue light shining in his core, but also thin vein-like strands of light blue qi spreading throughout his entire body.
With a bit of hesitation he tried to release the power of his spirit attribute like he did before, but this time he tried to be more careful.
Slowly opening his inner gates, the thin stands began to light up. Each strand thickened more and more till his whole body was being lit up from within.
Xiao Fang gritted his teeth in pain, but he didn't stop trying to fight it. Eventually, the pain was just too unbearable to continue, so he stopped pushing his inner gates open and just held it there.
Looking at himself now, he felt like he could understand why it was hurting so much. Before, the best way to describe the pain was that it felt like his body was being torn to pieces, but as it turned out it was actually his spirit body that was breaking down, not his physical one.
Unlike before, he could visibly see the damage the spirit attribute was doing to his spirit body. Since Xiao Fang still had to do the cauldron's tests he eventually stopped releasing his spirit attribute, but to his surprise, he began to feel a nourishing energy spreading throughout his body. In the next moment, the damage he sustained healed almost instantly.
As far as Xiao Fang knew, a cultivator's body healed faster the higher their Body cultivation realm was. With the same logic, he assumed the spirit body healed faster depending on his spirit cultivation realm. However, his spirit body healed almost instantly after he stopped releasing his spirit attribute. Not only that, but he noticed that his spirit body had become a bit tougher too.
"I... feel completely fine. How is this possible?"
Xiao Fang released his spirit attribute again, but just like before, his spirit body immediately healed the moment he stopped releasing it.
'Could it be this pagoda?'
Xiao Fang pushed his inner gates open a few more times and realized he was releasing more and more each time he tried. It was as if he was getting stronger with each attempt. Xiao Fang was so excited about this new discovery that he nearly forgot about the trial.
After nearly destroying his spirit body and healing up several more times, he was convinced that he couldn't go any further. It was as if there was a barrier blocking his path, but no matter how hard he tried he simply couldn't get through it.
However, his struggles weren't without merits. After pushing himself so many times, he realized that he was not only able to keep the half-formed spirit attribute mode active for a few seconds, but it actually increased his cultivation by another realm. If he could already increase his cultivation by a realm now, just how much stronger would he get when he's able to use it's full power?
He tried it a few more times, but he was still unsuccessful. The power he could gain by crossing that barrier was tempting, but it was getting a bit tiring.
Without even realizing it, Xiao Fang had spent nearly an hour on the first floor. Still, Xiao Fang wiped the sweat off his forehead then walked upstairs to the 2nd floor. There, Xiao Fang saw an elderly woman standing at the center of the room.
Xiao Fang tried to steady his breathing as he cupped his hands and bowed to the elder with the Black Paradise insignia on her plain white robes.
"Junior greets elder."
Xiao Fang raised his head and saw that the elder did not react to his greeting. He wondered if she was just asleep or just couldn't hear him, but then a slight frown emerged on her aged face.
"You're a man..."
Xiao Fang was confused by her comment.
"Yes... I am." Xiao Fang responded.
"I assume the spirit pet that came before you was yours as well."
Xiao Fang froze.
'Did Xiao Hei tell her or did she just figure it out on her own?' Xiao Fang thought.
He could tell that she was no ordinary elder, but he didn't think she'd know that Xiao Hei was a spirit pet. He could also tell that her cultivation was incredibly deep, that was probably why it felt like she could see right through him.
"She is," Xiao Fang didn't try denying it.
The mysterious elder sighed.
"For once I finally met a remarkable disciple, but it turns out he's just a man. I always knew my fate was cruel, but I didn't think it would be a tease as well."
"Elder, please allow me to take the test."
"The test? Ah right, you can forget about that. You're in no condition to be doing that now."
"What?"
Xiao Fang was confused. 'Why did the women in this sect despise men so much?' he thought.
Staring at the blue light in his dantian, the elder asked,
"I don't suppose you got that True Immortal Spirit Attribute from my sect."
"I did." Xiao Fang answered again.
The elder suddenly squinted her eyes at him. She was able to read him perfectly till now, but she didn't seem to believe his words this time.
"You're... telling the truth. How in the world were they able to get their hands on something like that." she said in astonishment.
Suddenly, the look on her face twisted.
"To think, they would waste such a priceless treasure on a man like you."
"Elder, I might be a bit tired, but I'm still able to continue. Give me a chance to prove myself," he argued.
"Is that so?" The elder smiled mischievously.
Xiao Fang didn't know what she had in mind, but it made him a bit nervous.
"Very well. If you can bring out the full power of your True Immortal Spirit Attribute, I'll consider it a pass."
"This..."
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to prove yourself? I enjoyed hearing you screams from up here. I want to hear more of it."
'This bitch is sadistic,' Xiao Fang thought.
"If you can unleash the power of that True Immortal Spirit Attribute, I'll not only give you a pass, but I'll also give you a strong spirit cultivation technique too."
"A strong spirit cultivation technique? What's the catch?"
The elder smiled innocently, but her next words were far from harmless.
"Well, you see... There's nothing you have that I want. So instead, I'll have my little spirit beast knock you around a bit for my entertainment. What do you say."
Xiao Fang didn't want to leave without being put into the same class as Xiao Hei. So even if the elder was intentionally making things hard for him, the only thing he could do was to suck it up and keep going.
Besides, considering how strong she was, if she really gave him a strong cultivation technique, that might actually make the whole thing worthwhile.
"Alright. I accept," Xiao Fang said.
Suddenly, the elder began to release some of her qi, allowing it to morph into a 7 foot tall, humanoid beast.
"Good. Shall we begin?"

"Good, shall we begin?"
Back outside, Li Xiang was awake and waiting with Xiao Hei for Xiao Fang to come out of the cauldron.
"How long has he been in there for?" Li Xiang asked worriedly.
"It's been over an hour," Xiao Hei answered.
"How could he be in there for over an hour without lighting up a single ring?"
Xiao Hei didn't respond because she also didn't know what was taking him so long. She assumed he was just stalling to not reveal his talents, but after a while she began to worry.
There was nothing in there that could threaten his life, but because they had such a close relationship, she naturally worried for him.
The supreme elder couldn't believe what she was seeing. Two extremely talented girls were worrying about a crippled and talentless man.
'Just what kind of spell did he put on these girls?' the supreme elder thought.
"Girls, don't you think you are acting a bit inappropriately. Someone with your talents could do much better than someone like him," the supreme elder spoke bluntly.
Hearing the supreme elder's words, Li Xiang's cheeks turned red.
"Ah, please don't misunderstand. I only care for him as a family member. He told me that his fiancée was someone in my family's sect," Li Xiang tried to explain.
"Ha! He told you that his fiancée was a member of the Li family sect? What is her name?"
"Her name is Li Lian."
"Li Lian?! Hahahahahahaha."
Li Xiang didn't know what the supreme elder was laughing about, but if she knew that Li Lian had recently became the Matriarch's only direct disciple then she might've understood her reaction.
The supreme elder laughed louder than she ever laughed before, it was as if Li Xiang had told her the most hilarious joke she had ever heard.
Wiping her tears after laughing so hard, she finally began to speak.
"Let me give you some advice. All men are liars. I wouldn't be so quick to believe anything they say."
"Ah, could he be lying about being engaged to her? I guess I believed it too easily. Perhaps I was really being naïve."
Although Li Xiang still liked Xiao Fang, she didn't want to go against the supreme elder's words. Even if she had told her that she was adopted, she still wouldn't refute her words, because the supreme elders were respected by everyone in the Black Paradise sect, even the Matriarch had to humble herself in front of them.
"Mn, you were being naïve. You should've known a talentless cripple like him would never marry any girl from a noble family, much less into the Li family clan."
Suddenly Xiao Hei snapped.
"Li Lian is his fiancée, and if you call him a cripple again I'll rip your fucking throat out!"
"You..."
Neither the supreme elder nor Li Xiang could believe what they were hearing. Considering how much of a talent Xiao Hei was, the supreme elder allowed it to pass.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear anything this time, but you would be wise not to offend me."
Xiao Hei took her angry eyes off the supreme elder then put it back on the cauldron. She couldn't help feeling that something had gone wrong. She only knew Xiao Fang for half a year, but she felt like she knew him enough that he wouldn't pull something like this. She didn't understand how, but she knew he was in trouble.
'It seems she's too much in love with him. It must be nice to be young and stupid. Even after thinking he has a fiancée she still can't stop licking his boots,' the supreme elder thought as she shook her head.
She thought that she could understand the situation better now. It wasn't Xiao Hei's fault for snapping at her. No disciple in their right minds would ever do something like that. If anything, Xiao Fang was the one to blame. She believed he brainwashed Xiao Hei to the extent that she couldn't even tell right from wrong. When Xiao Fang got out, the supreme elder planned to drag him into the tribunal and have him punished severely before kicking him out of the sect.
'Trash like him are the lowest of the low. There is no place for men like him in this sect.'
In the cauldron, Xiao Fang was up against a spirit beast with the combat prowess equal to that of a Divine Spirit realm cultivator. Since he was purely in spirit form he could only rely on his spirit cultivation realm, which was currently only at the 7th stage of the Spirit Core realm.
'Dammit! What is she thinking? Even if I could use my Profound Body cultivation, this would still be an unfair fight,' Xiao Fang complained inwardly.
Without even getting a chance to prepare, Xiao Fang could see that the beast was going to attack, so he immediately stood on guard releasing his [ True Immortal Thunder Tribulation ] spirit attribute to the max.
If he could just breakthrough his bottleneck the first time he thought could avoid all the senseless beating he was going to receive from the Divine realm Spirit Beast.
However, the moment Xiao Fang released his spirit attribute, the beast immediately jump towards him, shooting his fist straight towards Xiao Fang's chest. Xiao Fang crossed his arms in time to block the attack, but he was still shot flying across the room.
Boom!
Xiao Fang's body hit the wall with a deafening bang.
The elder's jaw dropped.
"You idiot! I didn't say you could kill him!!!"
The beast had actually held back a lot. Also, even though he only had a fraction of a second to channel his spirit attribute power, Xiao Fang was able to increase his cultivation by another realm before the attack hit.
Considering how trigger happy the spirit beast was, Xiao Fang could only try to escape before trying to unleash his spirit attribute again.
The elder rushed to heal Xiao Fang, but then discovered something strange about his body. As she approached to see if he was still alive, Xiao Fang's body suddenly evaporated into a mist of qi.
Meanwhile on the first floor, Xiao Fang suddenly reappeared as he came out of [ Stealth ].
'That will buy me some time,' he thought.
He then quickly released his spirit attribute. A deep frown appeared on his face due to the pain, but he stopped himself from making a sound. He knew his clone wouldn't have fooled them for long, but if he screamed now then they would find him even faster.
Xiao Fang was in the middle of channeling his spirit attribute when he heard the elder's voice, only this time her voice sounded nothing like before. She sounded much angrier.
"You sneaky bastard! I thought you died up there."
Following the elder down to the first floor, the spirit beast saw Xiao Fang and his eyes immediately lit up. He charged straight towards him with a frenzied look on his face.
Xiao Fang frowned.
He didn't frown from the pain, or the fact that he couldn't breakthrough his bottleneck, he frowned because of the look on the spirit beast was giving him. It looked like it was going to enjoy beating up Xiao Fang.
"Good, come you beast! Let's see how long you can last against my fists!"

"Good, come you beast! Let's see how long you can last against my fists!"
Ever since Xiao Fang absorbed the Death Reaper energy from the 20 disciples' corpses, he noticed that it was affecting his mood in a negative way. He was already on edge because of it, so seeing the arrogant look on Spirit Beast's face just made him snap.
The whole situation was messed up. He didn't care that the Spirit Beast was in the Divine Spirit realm. The angrier he was, the less rational he became, and right now Xiao Fang was madder than he had ever been.
Despite all the pain it brought him, Xiao Fang couldn't fight the Spirit Beast without his spirit attribute active.
The elder watched in surprise as Xiao Fang ran towards her Spirit Beast.
'Does he actually think he can win against it?' she wondered.
Since the Divine Spirit Beast wasn't using any spirit techniques, Xiao Fang thought he might have a chance against it. Even if he couldn't fully use the [ True Immortal Lightning Tribulation ] spirit attribute it still increased his cultivation by a whole realm, and his [ Illusory Body ] method also increased his fighting prowess by another realm.
Unfortunately, Xiao Fang was being too optimistic. He was still severely outmatched because his [ Illusory Body ] spirit cultivation was only at the 9th stage of the Spirit Foundation realm, so it was too generous to say that his battle power increased by another realm.
Xiao Fang still had the power of his curse, but he wasn't going to use it because there was no point if the mysterious elder kept healing their injuries.
The beast punched straight at Xiao Fang's chest again, but this time Xiao Fang threw a punch right back. However. Instead of meeting his fist half way, Xiao Fang's body suddenly faded into a mist of qi the moment their fists made contact.
Dodging the fist and maneuvering under its arm, Xiao Fang punched straight into its ribs.
'Not bad,' the elder thought.
A spark of interest suddenly appeared in her eyes, but it only lasted for a second because of what happened next.
The Divine Spirit Beast looked down at Xiao Fang as a smile crept up on its face, it then swung its free arm around, knocking Xiao Fang off to the side. Xiao Fang's body rolled and tumbled a few times, before coming to a stop.
The elder scoffed.
"Why were you acting so tough when your attacks are so weak?"
What she was saying was true, the beast barely felt it. To be more accurate, the punch was equivalent to a child punching a grown man in the gut. Sure a couple of those would eventually start to bruise, but the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Suddenly, the beast fell to one knee, and standing behind him was Xiao Fang.
"My attack wasn't weak. I just didn't strike where it hurts."
In the next moment Xiao Fang's hand swooped in, mercilessly gouging out both of its eyes.
The elder furrowed her brows as a chill went down her spine. There was no hesitation in Xiao Fang's actions at all. It was as if he had done it several times before. She knew doing that sort of thing wasn't something ordinary people could do.
'Whoever that boy is, he certainly isn't as innocent as he looks,' the elder thought.
Looking back at the body that had earlier been knocked to the side, the elder watched as it suddenly turned into another mist of qi.
The thing that amazed her wasn't just his creativity, but the fact that not even she could immediately discern his clones from the real one. The reason he was also able to fool her with his clones wasn't because he was stronger than her, but simply because she was severely underestimating him. His skills were far beyond what an outer court disciple should've been able to do, so she didn't expect him to be able to make such real clones.
Just when Xiao Fang was about to focus back on his spirit attributes, his swordsman instincts suddenly kicked in. In the next moment, he dodged the unexpecting attack. When he landed several meters away he looked back at the spirit beast and was surprised by what he saw.
There were two gaping holes where its eyes should've been, but it still had a large smile on its face. In fact, the smile looked even creepier than it did before.
Xiao Fang knew how much it hurt having his eyes gouged out, so he was surprised that the beast was still able to attack him without even taking a break.
Xiao Fang began to frown, because its eyes were starting to heal back.
"You didn't think it would end just like that did you?" The elder asked.
Xiao Fang had always been told that his blindness couldn't be healed or regenerated, not even by a heavenly realm cultivator.
Just how strong was this elder, and what was her background? Xiao Fang was starting to have more and more questions, but given the situation he was in, he was in no position to start asking questions.
What Xiao Fang didn't know was that the elder wasn't using her own power to heal them, she had been using the power of the ancient spirit pagoda to heal them this whole time. Since the power the spirit pagoda contained was virtually limitless, she could keep healing them for as long as she liked.
The fight continued for a few more hours. Any injury inflicted on the spirit beast or Xiao Fang would instantly be healed up by the mysterious elder. So the fight wasn't about strength or technique, instead it was simply a battle of attrition. Unfortunately for Xiao Fang, he was already a little tired before the fight began and his spirit cultivation was 2 realms below the spirit beast's.
Despite all the time that passed, Xiao Fang had only made an insignificant amount of progress with his spirit attribute. Every time they stopped fighting to get healed, Xiao Fang would use that time to make another attempt at his spirit attribute. Eventually, Xiao Fang wouldn't even think about the pain, but still, no matter how hard he tried, he simply couldn't do it. However, his rigorous efforts weren't without merits.
Xiao Fang's spirit body began to glow as another layer aura emerged from his body.
[ Breakthrough to the 8th stage of the Spirit Core Realm ]
'I made a breakthrough to the 8th stage already?!' Xiao Fang thought excitedly.
Not only was making a breakthrough a big deal, but he had also restored some of his energy.
Although it was a bit surprising to see, considering how many times his spirit body got destroyed and healed up again, it wasn't too hard to believe. The only thing that was extremely unusual to elder was that his spirit body was constantly getting stronger every time she healed him. She knew the spirit pagoda didn't have the ability to make his spirit body stronger, so the only explanation she could think of was that his True Immortal Spirit Attribute was making him stronger.
The elder was more interested than she was entertained. She wanted to make Xiao Fang suffer, but now she wanted to know more about him.
'I don't think I've ever seen eyes like his before,' she thought as she looked deeply into them.
'It hasn't even been a month since I made a breakthrough to the 7th stage of the Spirit Core Realm. It seems I already gained a lot more than most people could from this place,' Xiao Fang thought.
With reignited flames burning in his eyes, he jumped back into the fight while pushing his spirit attribute to the max.
The elder was enjoying their fight, even though Xiao Fang didn't seem to be in as much pain as before. Unless he gave up, she would joyfully watch by the sidelines as her spirit beast roughed him up. Luckily for her, it was impossible for someone under the Heavenly spirit realm to completely control the full power of a True Immortal Spirit Attribute. At least, she had never heard of anyone doing it before.
The longer the fight lasted, the less she disliked Xiao Fang. If she was honest, her impression of him had gradually changed over time. Eventually, she was even starting to like him.
'Why isn't he giving up?' she wondered. 'Does he want a spirit cultivation technique that badly? or could it be that he wants to be put into the Tiger class?'
The moment she summoned the Divine Spirit Beast, Xiao Fang knew that he wasn't going to be treated fairly, but he still accepted her challenge. From that moment, he had already gained the elder's respect. However, after many hours of torturing himself to control the spirit attribute while getting attacked by her Divine realm Spirit Beast, he had already proven to the elder that he was worthy of at least being placed in the Insect or Snake Class.
'He might be just a man, but he's a respectable one,' she thought.
She was thinking about telling him to stop, but how was she supposed to explain it to him? Was she supposed to say that it was actually impossible for him to completely control the True Immortal Spirit Attribute, and that she had only set up this match purely for her own twisted entertainment. After putting him through hours of torture, that was the last thing she wanted to say to him.
All she could do was watch and wait for him to give up. However, Xiao Fang hated losing more than anything. He would never put himself in a position where he might think back on a moment and wonder 'what if'. What if I pushed myself a little harder. Since he was here right now, he was going to give it all he had, and if that wasn't enough he was going to keep pushing past his limits again and again till he could no more.
Just from the look in his eyes the elder knew that Xiao Fang wasn't going to give up anytime soon, but she was starting to hope it wasn't true.

Almost 10 hours after Xiao Fang entered the cauldron, the inner court exam was coming to an end.
In the 2nd level of the Ancestral Training Grounds, a few guys were still trying to pass the first test of the exam when an elder announced the conclusion of the exam. Upon hearing the announcement, the disciples dejectedly started making their way out of the cave.
The tiered beasts were still active, so the moment the exam ended, several elders entered.
The elders traveled in pairs, trying to find the disciples in case they needed help getting out.
Since each disciple participating in the exam was given a pendant, all of the outer court elders used a special compass to find the location of the pendants, while the inner court elders would keep an eye out in case a disciple had lost theirs during the exam.
One pair of elders were heading east when they discovered something strange.
The outer court elder paused as she stared down at her compass.
"Why did you stop?" The inner court elder asked.
"It looks like there are several disciples in that direction, but there's something strange about what I'm seeing," the outer court elder said without taking her eyes off her compass.
"Strange in what way?" The inner court elder asked.
"Here, take a look."
The outer court elder gave her the compass then slowly watched her face change from surprise to concern.
She saw what looked like 20 disciples clustered together only a few kilometers away. The strange thing about it was that they weren't moving, not even a little. If it were just 1 or 2 pendants flashing on the compass then she would've assume that someone must've dropped it, but for there to be so many of them clustered together like this didn't make sense, she assumed it had to be deliberate.
The lofty looking inner court elder stared at the compass for a few more seconds before she began to frown. She had never seen anything like this before, so she didn't know what to expect.
"Could the compass be broken?" The outer court elder asked.
"I don't think so. I suspect someone stole the pendants from the other disciples and just stashed them there. Let's go check it out first before we come up with any useless conclusions."
The inner court elder began heading towards the stash of pendant and the outer court elder followed close behind her.
On the way to the location, the outer court elder asked,
"Isn't it strange. Why would a disciple steal and stash away so many pendants? It's not like the qi accumulated within the pendants can be transferred to another pendant."
"I can't say I know either. He might've done it to make the other disciples fail, or maybe he simply wanted to cultivate them." the inner court elder replied.
"Ah, you think he used it to cultivate?"
Although it was possible, it was hard to believe that someone would spirit cultivate in the middle of the exam and under such dangerous circumstances.
Suddenly the inner court elder stopped.
"What's wrong?" The outer court elder asked.
"I smell blood..."
The outer court elder eventually picked up on the scent as well, but it was extremely faint. From there they proceeded with caution.
Upon reaching the site, they both froze in horror.
The lush green field was dyed in blood. Limbs, flesh, and visceral pieces were scattered around and across the open field. The whole thing looked as if it had come straight out of a nightmare.
The outer court elder started feeling nauseous, and the inner court elder just couldn't believe her eyes. They had never encountered such a gory scene in their entire lives. It was so brutal it made their skins crawl. They were almost convinced that it wasn't the doing of an ordinary tiered beast, but something far more terrifying.
The outer court elder subconsciously took a step back. There wasn't supposed to be anything within this level that could threaten her, but whatever was capable of creating such a horrible scene frightened her to her core.
"How could this happen. There's at least 20 disciples here, nothing in this level should have been able to defeat a group this big."
The bodies weren't dragged here or else there would be trails of blood, and there were no signs that a tiered beast was in the area either. If a beast was here it would have left some clues, but there were none, none at all.
The inner court elder closely examined the scene, eventually coming to a shocking discovery.
"These disciples weren't killed by tiered beasts, they were killed by another disciple."
Surprised by her words, the outer court elder looked back at the scene. Although it was extremely unlikely, she just assumed they were attacked by a horde of 4th tiered beasts, but the inner court elder's next words dispelled that thought.
"The natural qi in this area is too weak. There wouldn't even be a single tier 3 beast, let alone a horde of 4th tiered beasts."
"Now that you mentioned it, this does feel like a safe zone. Could a disciple really do something like this? This... this shouldn't be possible right?"
The inner court elder didn't respond because she couldn't believe it herself.
The 20 dead disciples all had a cultivation realm above the Refinement realm or else they wouldn't have been able to participate in the exam, but even with the 20 of them here, they were still no match against this mystery disciple.
Even if that one disciple was in the Spirit Core or Solid Body realm, he still wouldn't have a chance against 9 or 10 refinement realm cultivators, much less 20.
"But how could he win against 20 disciples?"
"I don't know, but whoever this guy is this certainly wasn't his first time."
Outer court disciples weren't capable of doing such ruthless acts of murder, they simply wouldn't be able to stomach it. However, this disciple had killed all 20 of them in the most gruesome way possible.
"I'm going to inform someone about this. You stay here and collect their pendants. If you find any more like them let me know."
The inner court elder quickly left, leaving the outer court elder alone with the corpse.

10 hours after Xiao Fang stepped into the cauldron, the sun was finally starting to set, marking the end of the exam.
Inside the cauldron, Xiao Fang looked beat. He exhausted all of his qi hours ago, so he was unable to create any more illusory clones while fighting against the Divine Spirit Beast. All he could do was rely on his bare fists.
After suffering another beat down from the Spirit Beast, Xiao Fang laid on the cold hard ground as he heard light footsteps coming his way.
Feeling a gentle hand on his neck, he immediately tried to pull away, but his spirit body was too injured to move.
The elder held him up in the air by the neck to make him look her in the eyes.
"I'm surprised you could last this long. How about this, if you give up now I will put you directly into the Snake class. What do you say?"
Xiao Fang smirked.
"Do you really think so little of me?"
The elder frowned.
'Wasn't he doing this to get placed into a class? Could it be that he actually wanted a spirit cultivation technique all this time?' The elder thought.
She tried to think of something she could give him, but she quickly realized that she didn't have any strong spirit cultivation technique she could give him.
Since they were both in spirit form, there was no way she could give him anything physical, the only way she could give him a technique was through a special method that required him to already meet the minimum prerequisites of the technique.
Unfortunately, Xiao Fang's spirit cultivation realm was far too low to learn anything she had, everything she had at his level were all weak techniques she almost never used.
'Dammit, I only said I would give him a powerful spirit cultivation technique so that he would agree to the challenge, I didn't think he would go this far for it,' she thought.
Although getting a spirit cultivation technique was nice, what she didn't realize was how close Xiao Fang was to making another breakthrough. The fact was that Xiao Fang wasn't doing it for the spirit technique or the class placement anymore, he was doing it to train. This was the greatest opportunity he had to train his spirit cultivation. To leave now would be a wasted opportunity.
Besides, above all else, she was the one that convinced him that there was nothing wrong with his spirit attribute. If he could, he wanted to unleash its full strength before he got out of here. If he couldn't do it while he was here, then he might never get the chance to do it.
"How can you be this stubborn? Is your pride really worth it? It's no fun seeing you suffer like this anymore, hurry up and give up."
Xiao Fang wanted to laugh, but his whole body hurt too much. He had lost to his father more time than he could count, but he never admitted defeat. That was just the way he was raised.
[ Never beg, never give up. ]
Despite how badly his body was damaged, he still had a serene look on his face.
'This feeling is nostalgic,' Xiao Fang thought as he was reminded of home.
How many times did his father push him to the brink of death. How was that any different from what he was going through now?
'That's right, this is no different from my father's training. Actually, if I was to compare the two, I'd say what I'm experiencing now isn't nearly as bad.'
Still being held in the air by his neck, he heard his father's voice. The same voice that always told him to pick up his sword and get back up.
[ A Swordsman's Pride makes us strong, resilient, and persevering. Pride is not a virtue, but it is what makes us great ]
'That's right. Even if I am without a sword, I'm still a swordsman.'
Xiao Fang struggled to raise his arm, but was eventually able to grab the wrist of the elder that was holding him up by the neck.
"I... will never... give up."
A fierce smile appeared on Xiao Fang's face, it was a smile telling her not to underestimate him, and that he was going to show her just how great he was!
Still being held up in the air by his neck, the dim blue light in Xiao Fang's dantian began to shine brighter. He was activating his spirit attribute once again.
The elder frowned. The look on Xiao Fang's face was not a look someone in his condition should've been making. His spirit body was in a piss-poor condition, but his fighting spirit was still as strong as ever.
Since he was already starting to power up his spirit attribute, she started healing him again.
Despite looking like he was doing the same thing over and over again, Xiao Fang had actually been studying his spirit attribute closely.
The reason why he couldn't unlock the full strength of his spirit attribute wasn't because he reached a bottleneck, there wasn't a barrier to begin with or else he wouldn't have made any progress whatsoever. All this time he had been subconsciously stopping himself from grasping that power, in fear of the suffering he would have to endure.
Xiao Fang was rarely scared of anything. He hated to admit it, but this time, he was scared. If he was feeling so much pain from just this small amount of control, then what kind of torture would he have to go endure if he unleashed it's full strength.
However, Xiao Fang finally realized something.
The first time he took the spirit attribute off the shelf, he had to push through unimaginable pain just to touch the scroll, but after he did, it no longer hurt him to touch it. Could the same thing happen if he released the full strength of the spirit attribute, or would he really be put through inhuman torture? There was only one way to find out.
Suddenly Xiao Fang's spirit body began to light up.
"Hey, what are you doing? At least wait for me to finish healing you first," the elder said.
Despite her words, Xiao Fang kept releasing more of his spirit attribute's power.
The Divine Spirit Beast didn't attack because Xiao Fang's spirit body was still badly damaged. Xiao Fang took advantage of that.
The elder tried her best to heal Xiao Fang, but his spirit body was breaking down faster than she could heal him. Each spirit vein in his spirit body was much larger than they were before, allowing more qi from his spirit attribute to flow through him. The cracks in his body began to shine, and the streaks of lightning began to zap and crackle around him.
The elder used as much of the pagoda's spirit power as she could, but his spirit body was simply breaking way too fast.
'What are you doing? Are you insane!?' She feared that all the pain he put himself through ended up making him go crazy.
Despite all that was happening, Xiao Fang was confident in himself and he tried to show that confidence while staring directly into the elder's eyes. Suddenly, his bright violet eyes began to glow in a curious way. She didn't know what to think of it, but it was making her feel weird.
"Stop being so reckless, if you keep going you're going to die!" she screamed for him to stop, but Xiao Fang ignored her.
Xiao Fang was aware of himself more than she knew. He knew he was walking on a fine line, but that was exactly what his spirit attribute wanted him to do. The spirit attribute had a mind of it's own, and Xiao Fang knew what it wanted, he could feel it. If he wanted to gain its power he would need to push himself to the very edge.
The reason Xiao Fang didn't tell the elder about his discovery was because he assumed she would've tried to stop him from beating the challenge. It turned out he was wrong about her. If she really disliked him as much as he thought she did, then she wouldn't have been so concerned about whether he lived or died.
She kept trying to make him stop, but what she didn't realize was the transformation happening to Xiao Fang's spirit body. He was going through rapid growth as his spirit body was continuously being destroyed and regenerated. Every second in this state was already way more beneficial to his cultivation than anything else he's ever done.
In her last efforts to make Xiao Fang stop, the elder finally told him the truth. She admitted to knowing that it was impossible for him to control the full power of his spirit attribute. She just wanted to have fun with him, but she never expected him to take it this far.
She looked as if she was about to tear up, but Xiao Fang eventually couldn't hear a single word she was saying. In the next moment his surroundings changed.
It was as if he was transported into a dark void.
'Where am I?' Xiao Fang thought as he inspected his surroundings.
Xiao Fang then noticed the giant gate behind him. The 2 doors were several dozens of meters high, and a few dozen meters across. On the doors were intricate designs of mystical creatures and beautiful scenery. However, after taking a step back, Xiao Fang was able to see 2 huge characters camouflaged into the epic collage of images. The ancient characters on the doors read:
[ Lightning Tribulation ]
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

[ Lightning Tribulation ]
Xiao Fang could feel the profundity in the characters alone. As magnificent as they were, the characters didn't give him a welcoming feeling, it felt more like a warning.
The door was warm to the touch, giving Xiao Fang the impression that whatever was inside must've been fairly hot.
Xiao Fang tried to push the doors open, but when it was open just a crack, a harsh light suddenly shined through. Upon inspecting it closely, Xiao Fang could see that it wasn't just a single bright light, but a countless number of them.
Looking through the narrow opening of the doors, Xiao Fang could see a sea of Lightning on the other side, and roughly 50 meters away was another gate, but it was even bigger and more impressive than the one he was opening now.
"Am I really supposed to walk through this."
Xiao Fang froze upon seeing such a terrifying sight. He didn't think he could handle getting struck even once, so how was he supposed to get through to the other side.
Even though Xiao Fang couldn't see or hear anyone, the moment he opened the [ Lightning Tribulation ] gates, he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him. It was neither friendly nor hostile, but it made Xiao Fang feel as if he was being judged.
Looking into the gates, Xiao Fang hesitated. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, but wasn't this taking things too far?
While most people in his shoes would have seen it as a dead end, Xiao Fang saw it as finishing line. This was his last push, so he wanted to finish it strong. Seeing the hellish plains in front of him only settled his impatient heart.
'After this, it would finally be over.'
Xiao Fang walked in with the intent of accepting the vicious sea of lightning, but he immediately blacked out after stepping inside.
When Xiao Fang woke up, he found himself still inside of the Spirit Pagoda, but he was laying down with his head resting on the elder's lap with her breast hanging over his face. He couldn't remember what happened, but he now had a splitting headache.
As Xiao Fang was looking around, he realized all of his wounds were healed. It seemed that the elder was successful in healing him in the end, but if that was the case then wouldn't it mean that the Divine Spirit Beast would start attacking him again?
"How do you feel?" She asked.
With his head still resting on her lap, Xiao Fang looked up at her, but he didn't say a word. She continued to look down at him as she stroked his hair.
Xiao Fang thought she was acting strange, but he couldn't understand why. She had been looking into his eyes for the past 10 hours without much of a reaction so he assumed that she was immune or highly resistant to it's effects.
What Xiao Fang didn't know was just how precious he was to the sect, her sect. Even though she didn't originally approve of him and was venting her anger out at him, now that Xiao Fang had proven himself as being a strong and capable man, she finally accepted him as a disciple of the sect. He had completely won her over.
The elder was no longer in the sect, nor was she involved with the sect's affairs, but if she was then she would've taken good care of Xiao Fang till he became an exemplary Black Paradise disciple.
"How long was I out for?" Xiao Fang asked.
"Only a few minutes," she replied.
The strange thing was that Xiao Fang wasn't just fully energized, he felt significantly stronger too.
'Did I make another breakthrough?' he thought.
Xiao Fang released his aura then made a shocking discovery. His aura had reduced back down to 1 layer indicating that he was back to the 1st stage, but it was significantly denser than before. He didn't just make 1 breakthrough, he made 2.
"Profound Spirit realm." Xiao Fang thought out loud.
Even though he could clearly feel it, it took him a long time to believe it. The elder, on the other hand, didn't share the same reaction, but it was likely that she had already reacted to it before he woke up.
Xiao Fang already achieved far more than he ever thought was possible in the spirit pagoda, but he could only think about one thing. Did he grasp the full power of the [ True Immortal Lightning Tribulation ]?
Xiao Fang took his head off the elders lap then stood back up. Seeing Xiao Fang completely healed and standing back on his feet, the Divine Spirit Beast assumed he was ready to continue their fight.
The elder sighed.
She was hoping that Xiao Fang would stop now that she told him the challenge was a scam, but it looked like he still wanted to continue.
"I already told you it was impossible. Why are you still trying?" She asked him.
Ignoring the elder's words Xiao Fang started to activate his spirit attribute.
Seeing that Xiao Fang was channeling his spirit attribute again, the Divine Spirit Beast immediately jumped back into action. However, something spectacular began to happen. Xiao Fang was nearly emitting the same aura as the Divine Spirit Beast. Since he was in the Profound Spirit realm, his spirit attribute raised his cultivation into the Divine Spirit realm. However, the thing that surprised the spirit beast was that Xiao Fang's battle power was still rising, and it was rising fast.
Xiao Fang also realized it, but the thing that surprised him was that he didn't feel any pain from it. He could keep releasing more of his spirit attribute without any drawbacks.
'Could it be?' he thought.
Realizing what it could mean, Xiao Fang quickly released more qi from his spirit attribute unrestrainedly.
However, before he could finish he suddenly saw the spirit beast's fist coming his way. The punch connected to Xiao Fang's face, but it didn't move him. The spirit beast felt as if it had punched a mountain, Xiao Fang didn't even move an inch.
Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of both the spirit beast and the elder, then the atmosphere around Xiao Fang suddenly began to change.
"Impossible... H-How... how could you-" The elder struggled to even make a sentence as she watched Xiao Fang's transformation happen before her eyes.
Similar to when Li Lian used her spirit attribute, Xiao Fang's aura and appearance began to change, his spirit body was undergoing a complete transformation.
Xiao Fang's long black hair turned white, and his hands, eyes, and feet began to glow, then his spirit body started to emit a light blue aura. Occasional streaks of lightning curved around his spirit body as his hair and robes fluttered violently, giving him an intimidating presence.
Xiao Fang looked down at his hands as he felt the power surging through his spirit veins. It was just as he expected. The lightning didn't hurt him no matter how much he used. He was able to use it's full strength without any restrictions.
It wasn't just his appearance that changed, his cultivation had changed enormously as well.
Xiao Fang flexed his arms feeling the enormous power they each contained. This was unlike anything he had ever felt before. Not even his father emitted such an oppressive presence.
"This pressure..." the elder said in surprise.
Xiao Fang had done something she thought was impossible. He was using the full power of his True Immortal Spirit Attribute!
Xiao Fang wasn't as surprised about his spirit attribute as much as he was surprised about his current cultivation. That was because his spirit attribute didn't just increase his cultivation by a single realm, it now increased it by two.
Xiao Fang looked back up at the Divine Spirit Beast in front of him, and it took a step back in hesitation. Even the Divine Spirit Beast could feel it. Xiao Fang had never personally seen anyone unleash the power of anything higher than the Divine Realm, but he was convinced this had to be it. This had to be the Heavenly Realm!!
A vicious grin appeared on Xiao Fang's face as he looked up at the spirit beast.
"I hope you had your fun, cause now it's my turn."

"I hope you had your fun, cause now it's my turn."
Knowing Xiao Fang's intentions, the Divine Spirit Beast attacked him first. Xiao Fang didn't try to evade the attack, he simply raised his a hand and blocked it with his forearm.
In the next moment, the beast was shot through the air, only stopping when it hit the wall.
Xiao Fang opened and closed his hand curiously. He didn't think he could control his strength since he had never been this strong before, but he was still able to injure the divine spirit beast with a simple strike.
As far as Xiao Fang knew, the higher his cultivation realm got the greater the disparity between consecutive realms became.
A single Refinement realm cultivator had the strength of ~5 Foundation realm cultivators.
1 Core realm = ~8 Refinement realm
1 Profound realm = ~10 Core realm
1 Divine realm = ~13 Profound realm
Right now Xiao Fang felt as if he had the strength that was equal to a few Divine spirit realm cultivators, but he assumed it was due to his lack of experience fighting in this realm.
Just what kind of existence was someone in the heavenly realm? Heavenly realm practitioners were cultivators that could go anywhere unhindered. They were the idols of geniuses and the gods of men. Only those in the royal court were rumored to all be in Heavenly realm, but that was where all the strongest cultivators in the country were gathered.
While Xiao Fang was getting excited over his new found strength, the elder also had a look of shock in her eyes.
She couldn't believe that he was able to completely control his true immortal spirit attribute. As far as she knew, no one under the Heavenly realm had ever done such a thing before. Even if he was at the Heavenly realm, it still should've been extremely difficult to pull it off.
The Divine Spirit Beast pulled himself out of the wall, but it didn't seem nearly as injured as Xiao Fang expected. Seeing that Xiao Fang had gotten even stronger, the spirit beast suddenly got excited.
It roared again, but this time its ashy grey skin turned crimson red, metallic scales emerged out of his shoulders, chest, forearms, and tail, and it grew a bit taller. Its aura thickened as its battle power quickly rose. Xiao Fang didn't feel any killing intent coming from it, but its bloodlust became even stronger than before.
In front of such a powerful spirit beast, Xiao Fang didn't even show a sliver of fear, all he could feel was contempt. The spirit beast had been so keen on making Xiao Fang so miserable this whole time, whether it chose to run, fight, or hide really made no difference, the end result was going to be the same.
Xiao Fang and the Divine Spirit Beast both darted towards each other in unbelievable speeds, almost destroying the ground below their feet with every step they took.
Xiao Fang saw its fist coming, but he decided not to dodge it. He wanted to take it head on.
They went blow for blow, but since Xiao Fang was still new to this realm, his attack was still a bit weaker than he expected it to be, but as they continued to exchange blows Xiao Fang was quickly able to overpower it.
Even if he was still a long way from being comfortable fighting in this realm, he was still a realm above the spirit beast so the battle was heavily in his favour.
Xiao Fang created a perfect illusory clone whenever he needed to evade an attack or create a distraction to find an opening. Since the only form of martial arts he was proficient in was in swordsmanship, his illusory clones helped him get the edge he needed to compensate for his lack of hand to hand combat skills.
Suddenly, the spirit beast landed a strike with it's tail. Xiao Fang was pushed back several meters, but the attack didn't hurt him as much as he expected it to. After everything Xiao Fang went through and considering how much stronger he was now, the tail whip felt like nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
The spirit beast didn't have the same smug look on its face anymore. Not only was Xiao Fang's attacks much stronger, he was also landing 10 to 15 hits before the Divine Spirit Beast could even land 1.
With a serious look on its face, the Divine Spirit Beast created a clone of its own, then another, and then another. When it was done, there were 15 clones of the Divine Spirit Beast standing side by side with each other.
Xiao Fang was surprised, but considering the fact that it was in the Divine Spirit realm, it made sense that it was able to create so many Illusory clones. The only thing that worried him a bit was that its clones were even more perfect than Xiao Fang's. Xiao Fang could look at them for hours but still not distinguish the real one from the fakes, and since everything in the spirit pagoda was in spirit form, he couldn't rely on his ears to figure it out.
The Divine Spirit Beast made the first move. Xiao Fang couldn't tell whether the first one to reach him was real or fake so he decided to block it.
The fist hit his arm and it pushed him back a little.
'I found you,' Xiao Fang thought as he locked eyes with the Divine Spirit Beast that just hit him.
Ignoring all of the clones, Xiao Fang went straight for the one he was locked eyes with, but then his swordsman's instincts began to flare up. Xiao Fang dodged, but he didn't understand why. Suddenly the clone that missed him destroyed the ground on impact.
'What!? If this is the real one then-'
Suddenly, his swordsman's instincts warned him again, but it was coming from a different direction.
All of the clones were closing in on his position, so Xiao Fang dodged the attacks then retreated several meters away.
This was all too confusing for him. Was the Divine Spirit Beast somehow switching places with its clones or were the clones all real?
Xiao Fang then created 2 illusory clones of his own then made them rush into the group of spirit beasts from two different directions. They were immediately attacked by the group of spirit beasts and they both turned into a mist of qi at the same time when they were hit.
Xiao Fang slightly frowned.
'Those aren't illusory clones.'

Outside of the cauldron, Xiao Hei suddenly felt a spike in her spirit cultivation.
'Profound Spirit realm! What in the world is he doing in there?' Xiao Hei thought.
When Xiao Fang made his first breakthrough, she was a little surprised by it, but she knew he was already pretty close. However, after making 2 more consecutive breakthroughs into the 1st stage of the Profound Spirit realm, she didn't know what to think anymore.
Since she went in before Xiao Fang did, she knew there wasn't anything in there that could raise his spirit cultivation. The more she thought about it the more it confused her.
"Supreme elder, why isn't he coming out?" Li Xiang asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" the supreme elder replied.
Li Xiang shook her head. If she knew the answer, she wouldn't have asked.
The supreme elder sighed, "Don't you remember what you experienced inside of the spirit cauldron?"
"I do."
"Then you recall relying solely on your spirit body to pass the tests, right?"
"Of course, but what does that have to do with Long Wang?"
"Do I need to spell it out for you? If he couldn't even make a single light appear after all this time, that could only mean that his spirit cultivation realm is pathetically low."
"How can that be, we saw him make a perfect illusory clone earlier," Xiao Hei interjected.
"He cheated," the supreme elder replied instantly.
"Ah, Supreme Elder. Could it be that you are mistaken?" Li Xiang asked while trying to be as polite as possible.
"Of course not. He might think he is clever, but nothing escapes me."
Hearing the supreme elder lie about seeing Xiao Fang cheat made Xiao Hei furious.
"If he really cheated then you wouldn't mind telling us how he did it?" Xiao Hei asked in a tone that made it seem as if she was calling her out on her bullshit,
Li Xiang knew there was already tension between Xiao Hei and the supreme elder, but after so many hours of waiting she assumed things would've settled down. Contrary to her expectations, Xiao Hei wasn't one to forgive and forget that easily.
"I saw him cheat, so I said he cheated. Are you calling me a liar?"
"I am, because you are. I know exactly what he is capable of, and so does Li Xiang. You should consider your status as a supreme elder and choose your words wisely. You wouldn't want to look any more a fool than you already have."
The supreme elder warned Xiao Hei earlier not to be disrespectful, but Xiao Hei clearly didn't care about that. Li Xiang on the other hand stayed quiet. Even if she didn't believe what the supreme elder was saying, she didn't want to make her upset.
The supreme elder was getting fed up with Xiao Hei's attitude. She could only tolerate so much disrespect from her.
"You say you know what he's capable of, but just look for yourself. Even after 10 hours he still hasn't exited the spirit cauldron, so how could he make a better illusory clone than the both of you?"
Xiao Hei had a complicated look on her face, she had more to say but she was hesitant. She knew what Xiao Fang was capable of because his cultivation realms were linked to hers, but there was no way to convince the supreme elder without revealing too much information about herself. Xiao Hei knew this arguement was going nowhere, so she stopped speaking to the supreme elder.
'Why is she so hung up on that boy? A talented girl like her could get any guy she wanted,' the supreme elder thought. She couldn't understand Xiao Hei's obsession with Xiao Fang, especially because she believed he already had a fiancée.
A few minutes later they heard a loud bell coming from outside, followed by a flood of distant cheers.
Xiao Hei and Li Xiang both looked at each other in confusion before looking back at the supreme elder.
"What's going on?" Li Xiang asked.
"The exam is coming to an end, it's time for you girls to announce your classes to the people waiting outside."
"Wait, what about him?" Xiao Hei said as she pointed at the cauldron.
"A cheater like him doesn't even deserve to be put into the inner court much less an inner court class," the supreme elder gave it to her straight.
"Hmph, then I'm staying here," Xiao Hei declared.
"This..."
The supreme elder was stuck on the current situation. She couldn't let Xiao Hei follow through on that declaration because she was way too talented to not be put into a class.
"Fei Lin, you mustn't do this. Many disciples spend many years trying to get into the Tiger-class. It would be a wasted opportunity to pass it up," the supreme elder politely encouraged her to change her mind.
Xiao Hei was much older and wiser than she looked. Even if Xiao Fang couldn't get into a class, then she could still give him all the cultivation resources she got for being put into the Tiger class. The reason she was acting this way was simply to buy Xiao Fang time.
"Since you think he cheated, I want to see it for myself. You do think he cheated right?"
"That's right," the supreme elder replied confidently.
"Then if you are wrong?" Xiao Hei gave her a mischievous look.
"Don't try to swindle anything out of me, little girl."
"Swindle? I was just going to suggest you apologize to him."
"You-"
"Where did your confidence go? Don't tell me you were going to fail him on a whim," Xiao Hei teased.
"Of course I'm confident. It's just that a supreme elder apologizing to a mere inner court disciple would be a bit..."
"If he cheated like you so confidently said he did, then that wouldn't be a concern to you."
"Forget it, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. If I'm right then he will be expelled, there's no room for diplomacy here. You should know your place as a disciple of this sect," the supreme elder tried to push her status over Xiao Hei to end the conversation.
"Expelled?!" Li Liang exclaimed. She didn't understand why the supreme elder would go to such lengths.
"I wasn't going to tell you two this, but if you must know then I will be expelling him from the sect once he gets out. With him gone, you will be able to focus more on your cultivation. This was originally a sect for girls, theres no place for men here."
"Supreme Elder, aren't you taking this too far?" Li Xiang said.
"You can't change my mind. This is for the best." The supreme elder said.
"Good, then you'll have to expel me too." Xiao Hei suddenly declared.
The supreme elder finally frowned.
"Don't be foolish. Do you even hear what you're saying?"
"I do, and I mean what I said. The only reason why I'm in this sect is because he's here. If he goes, I go too."
The supreme elder couldn't believe what she was hearing, was Xiao Hei really that much in love with him? What the Supreme Elder didn't know was that Xiao Hei really had no reason to stay in this sect if Xiao Fang wasn't here. She was his spirit pet after all.
Despite the supreme elder's general hate for men, she still had a deep love for the Black Paradise sect. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she would lay her life down for it, so what was her pride in comparison? She wanted the best for the Black Paradise sect, and right now Xiao Hei was the best the sect could get, but Xiao Hei was threatening to leave. The Matriarch had personally put the Supreme Elder in charge this year so that she could find hidden dragons amongst the outer court disciples. If she let Xiao Hei go, then wouldn't she be doing the exact opposite of what she was assigned to do? Even if Xiao Hei was bluffing, she couldn't take that risk.
"Even if I don't expel him, I still won't be passing him since he cheated," the Supreme Elder tried negotiating.
"And what if you're wrong?" Xiao Hei asked again.
The supreme elder hesitated to answer.
"Very well. If he can make a perfect illusory clone without cheating then I will apologize to him, but if I'm right, then I'll be prohibited from taking the inner court exam for another 7 years."
She had hoped that she could separate Xiao Fang from Xiao Hei, but it seemed that wasn't possible now.
Xiao Hei nodded with a satisfied look on her face.
The exam was coming to an end, so Xiao Fang didn't have much time left. Xiao Hei wanted to tell him to hurry up, but she thought it was impossible to reach him.
'Hm, is it really impossible?' Xiao Hei thought.
When he made his breakthroughs, she was also able to feel her spirit cultivation realm rise. So if she followed that same connection wouldn't she be able to send him a spirit transmission? It didn't hurt to try.
{"Xiao Fang, hurry up. The exam is coming to an end."} Xiao Hei said through a spirit transmission, but there was no response.

{"Xiao Fang, hurry up. The exam is coming to an end."}
'Xiao Hei?' Xiao Fang thought.
He didn't understand how Xiao Hei was able to communicate with him while he was still in the spirit cauldron, so he couldn't send a message to her back.
'So the exam is coming to an end already, huh. I've been having so much fun here I didn't even realize how much time had passed.'
Under his grip, the spirit beast was convulsing as Xiao Fang clenched onto its head. The spirit beast felt like it was being repeatedly struck by lightning, similar to how Xiao Fang felt for the past 10 hours. He finally released the spirit beast, letting it collapse on the floor.
As it turned out, the spirit beast didn't make any real copies of himself, they were just illusory clones but they were more solid than his own. Each solid illusory clone had a strength that was only a single realm below the original. That meant Xiao Fang was actually fighting against a 14 Profound Spirit Beasts and 1 Divine Spirit Beast.
The down side was that the spirit beast couldn't make any more solid clones whilst in combat. Once Xiao Fang figured that out, it was easy to keep the original body busy while fending off the solid clones' attacks.
Although the solid illusory clones provided the spirit beasts great openings to attack, it was in no position to do so, it could only defend. The spirit beast would've been better off using a simple illusory clone during their fight to evade Xiao Fang's attacks instead.
"Are you still unconvinced?" Xiao Fang asked as he turned to look at the mysterious elder.
He could tell that she still couldn't believe it, but after thoroughly defeating the Divine Spirit Beast there was no longer any room for doubt. Xiao Fang had taken full control of his True Immortal Spirit Attribute.
The elder didn't reply to Xiao Fang's question. She simply walked up to him then placed her hand over his upper right arm. Once she removed her hand, the Black Paradise insignia lit up for a brief moment before hiding itself under his skin again. She had given him a class.
"Congratulations, it seems I was wrong about you," the elder said with a light smile.
Considering everything she put him through, her little smile didn't make him feel any better.
"Elder, aren't you forgetting something?" Xiao Fang asked.
She knew what he was referring to. She promised him a powerful spirit cultivation technique. Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to give him one.
'Just what kind of monstrous technique could she give me?' Xiao Fang thought excitedly.
He knew that her cultivation was immeasurably deep. So with that in mind, he assumed the cultivation technique she was going to give him would be just that much more impressive. If he had even a single powerful spirit cultivation technique then he would've been able to defeat the Divine Spirit beast far more quickly.
While he was happily waiting for her to give him a powerful spirit cultivation technique, he noticed that she was starting to frown.
"You're too weak to learn anything I have. Just forget it," the elder said.
"Elder, I'm already in the Profound Spirit realm, and with my spirit attribute you could say I'm already in the Heavenly realm. So whatever technique you have, I'm certain I'll be able to learn it."
"Heavenly realm? Even if that was true, you still wouldn't be able to learn a Heavenly Realm technique." the elder explained.
"I don't understand. isn't my battle power at the Heavenly realm right now?"
The elder shook her head. From his question she could tell that he had never seen a real Heavenly Realm cultivator fight before.
"Your battle power was only at the peak of the Divine Spirit realm. If you were really at the Heavenly realm, then your fight with my spirit beast would've been far more one-sided."
Truthfully, Xiao Fang was a bit skeptical himself. He wasn't able to suppress the Divine Spirit Beast with his oppressive might during the fight, so he knew something was off.
At first he assumed he just didn't know how to release it yet, but judging from the elder's words, it seemed that he was never really in the Heavenly realm.
Instead of telling him, she decided to show him instead.
"This is the Heavenly Realm."
Suddenly her aura began to change then his body began to feel heavier. In the next moment, Xiao Fang almost felt compelled to fall to his knees. Feeling it now, he finally understood what an oppressive might was. It wasn't an ability or technique, it was simply a Heavenly realm practitioner's overwhelming presence.
'How could the gap between us be so vast. Didn't she say my battle power was at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm with my spirit attribute?' Xiao Fang thought with a frown.
Seeing Xiao Fang struggling so much after only releasing a fraction of her strength, she couldn't help but sigh. It was like looking at an infant learning how to walk. However, considering that Xiao Fang had only started spirit cultivation for a year, that analogy wasn't too far from the truth.
Her aura eventually returned to how it was, but Xiao Fang was still a bit shaky. It took all he had just to stand on his two feet. He finally understood the immensity of the Heavenly Realm. It was on a league of its own.
"In the cultivation world, you are only considered a real cultivator after you step into the Heavenly Realm, better known as the 'Heavenly Origin realm'. But it seems that you are still a long way from even achieving that."
"Aren't I only 1 realm away? If I breakthrough into the Divine Spirit realm, then wouldn't my Spirit Attribute increase my cultivation into the Heavenly realm?"
"No, it wouldn't. Although your Spirit attributes can help you increase your spirit cultivation by a minor realm, it's impossible for it to make you jump over any of the major realms. Otherwise you would have already been in the Heavenly realm now."
Suddenly, Xiao Fang realized something that seemed off.
"Major realms? just how many major realms are there?"
"After the [ Mortal Realm ] comes the [ Heavenly Realm , then finally the [ Immortal Realm ]."
[ Heavenly realm ]
" Heavenly Origin (9 stages)
" Heavenly Scholar (9 stages)
" Heavenly Lord (9 stages)
" Heavenly Sky (9 stages)
" Heavenly Star (9 stages)
" Heavenly Sage (9 stages)
" Heavenly Dragon (9 stages)
" Heavenly Emperor (9 stages)
" Heavenly Immortal (9 stages)
The elder explained.
Xiao Fang was in a bit of a daze.
"Then what about the Immortal realm?"
"I can't say. Very little is known about that realm," the elder replied.
The immortal realm was a realm of myths and legends that only a few of the emperors could reach. Immortal Realm Cultivators were seen as the gods of cultivators. Only the most renowned and legendary of cultivators had ever reached that realm.
As interesting as it all sounded, Xiao Fang was starting to feel a bit bitter. He couldn't understand why she would wager a spirit cultivation technique if she didn't have any techniques to give.
"Elder, since you lost the bet, you should follow through on that promise."
"I already told you it's impossible, you little brat. The only way I could give you a technique is if you met all the prerequisites to learning it, but considering how low your cultivation realm is, I wouldn't even be able to give you my weakest one."
"Then, what about the technique your spirit beast used?"
"You want to learn how to make a [ Solid Clone ]?" She asked with a confused expression.
"Yes, I would," Xiao Fang replied.
"Why would you want to learn that? Didn't you realize how useless the technique was during your fight against it?"
"I don't plan on leaving here empty handed," Xiao Fang replied simply.
"Fine, let's just get this over with," the elder said begrudgingly.
The elder didn't understand why he would want a technique like that. It couldn't even be considered a technique, but a useless skill to her.
What she didn't know was that Xiao Fang had learned a lot about the Black Paradise sect from watching the annual tournament every year, and by listening to his mother's stories. So he could say with confidence that they definitely didn't teach that technique at the sect.
The elder allowed the information for the technique to transfer over to Xiao Fang.
Once he received the information, he quickly discovered that the technique was far more complicated than he expected it to be. Even though the prerequisites for the technique was only at the Spirit Core realm, he could tell that it would take him a lot longer than any other technique he had to master.
Technique Name: [ Illusory Body ]
Type: Support
Realm: N/A
[ Solid Clone ]
Prerequisite: Spirit Core realm.
Create a solid illusory clone.
The strength of the clone will be equal to the caster's body cultivation realm.
Xiao Fang was a bit surprised. He knew every cultivation method had at least one technique that would grow with the cultivator. For the [ Illusory body ] method, it was thought to only be the [ Illusory Clone ] technique, but now it seemed that he found another.
"Thank you elder," Xiao Fang thanked her genuinely.
Despite everything she put him through, he wasn't so blind to not see how much he had gained from it.
The elder nodded approvingly then said, "No need for thanks. I lost the bet. If you return to me with a higher cultivation realm then I will reward you properly in the future."
In the next moment, she waved her hand, sending Xiao Fang back into his physical body, then looked back at her spirit beast. It was pretty beaten up, but it was still obediently taking a knee to her.
"He's gone now, you can drop the act."
The spirit beast suddenly healed itself back to perfect health in an instant.
"Why did you let him beat you up like that?" The elder questioned it.
"Fist and clones. It seemed as if that was all he was capable of. I wasn't expecting him to already know how to use his lightning spirit attribute like that at the end," the spirit beast said.
The spirit beast might've been weaker than Xiao Fang, but it had some powerful Divine Spirit realm techniques it could use against him. So if the spirit beast went all out, there was a chance it could've tipped the battle in its favor.
However, since they were both being constantly healed, there was no point in treating it like a real match. The spirit beast could overpower Xiao Fang with its Divine Spirit techniques, but it couldn't use them forever. Since it wasn't a real fight, it didn't take it all too seriously. What it didn't expect was for Xiao Fang to catch it and torture it with his lightning spirit attribute at the end.
"You only have yourself to blame for that," the elder lectured before sending the Spirit Beast back into her body.
Outside of the spirit cauldron, Xiao Hei and Li Xiang watched in shock as they saw something they didn't expect to see.
The door to the spirit cauldron was suddenly opening, grabbing the attention of the girls.
"Long Wang, you made it out in time. But..." Li Xiang paused midsentence.
Even though he had his blindfold on, Xiao Fang could still sense the strange expressions they all had on their faces.
No one could understand what they were seeing, but when Xiao Fang scanned the room he didn't notice anything strange, but then it finally dawned on him.
How many lights were shining around the cauldron? He didn't do any tests, but the elder still put him into a class because he completed her challenge.
Were there 3 lights around the cauldron or where there none. The only thing that mattered was the class the elder had put on his arm, but he was still curious to know if the cauldron was shining or not.
Since no one was saying anything, he finally asked.
"So... how did I do?"
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
"So... how did I do?"
The moment Xiao Fang stepped out of the cauldron, he was greeted with shocked faces.
Xiao Fang didn't light up all 3 of the lights, he didn't even light up 2 of them. Since the elder didn't make him go through the same 3 tests the girls did, it wasn't possible for him to make any of the lights light up around the spirit cauldron. However, Xiao Fang knew the only thing that mattered was class the mysterious elder had put on his arm, so he wasn't worried about the spirit cauldron at all.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Elder was having a hard time believing what she was seeing. Despite spending more than 10 hours in the spirit cauldron, Xiao Fang was beaming with more energy than before.
'Why does he look completely fine, was he just pretending to take the test?' the Supreme Elder wondered.
"Long Wang, you're finally out. We've been waiting for you this whole time," Li Xiang said with a friendly smile.
At the same time, Xiao Fang received a spirit transmission from Xiao Hei explained everything that happened while he was in the spirit cauldron.
Xiao Fang was a bit surprised.
'It seems Xiao Hei has been speaking up for me while I was away,' Xiao Fang thought.
The supreme elder suddenly walked towards Xiao Fang till she was just a few meters away from him
"Long Wang, did you cheat on the illusory clone test?" The supreme elder asked sternly.
"I didn't," Xiao Fang answered quickly as if he already knew what she was going to ask.
"Prove it. Make two clones for us right now."
Suddenly 2 illusory clones quickly formed next to Xiao Fang, he didn't want to waste time with this, so he did as she asked.
The elder was even more confused, it wasn't the fact that he was able to make them so quickly, but because his clones looked even more life-like than before.
"There. You see, he didn't cheat," Xiao Hei said.
The Supreme Elder didn't know how to react. Once again she was unable to distinguish his clones from the original, but anyone could see that he wasn't cheating. What kind of situation was this. If she were to tell anyone about this they certainly wouldn't believe her.
"Supreme elder, I believe you owe Xiao Fang an apology," Li Xiang finally spoke up.
It seemed that not even Li Xiang could tolerate the Supreme Elder anymore.
The Supreme Elder stared at Xiao Fang, but she was hesitant to say anything. Xiao Fang could tell how uncomfortable she was, and frankly it was getting a bit awkward for him too.
'What the hell was the point of all of this?' He thought.
Xiao Fang had never apologized to anyone, nor had anyone ever apologized to him. It was a form of weakness to the person apologizing and completely useless for the person recieving the apology. Apologizing was never popular in the Divine Sword sect. If there was ever a dispute then they would settle it with their swords. His feelings weren't hurt or anything, he was not that kind of guy, whatever was happening now just seemed childish to him.
Xiao Fang knew that even if she was in the wrong, she would still hold a grudge against him if she were to apologize to him.
'I just got into the inner court, it would be unwise for me to make a powerful enemy so soon," Xiao Fang thought.
"Just forget it," Xiao Fang broke the silence.
"Ah, but she-"
"I don't need an apology. Besides, it's unfitting for a supreme elder to apologize to a mere inner court disciple. All I ask is that the supreme elder treats me well in the future." Xiao Fang said with cupped hands.
The supreme elder was a bit surprised by this. She didn't expect him to be so understanding. Since Xiao Hei and Li Xiang were antagonizing her, she felt as if Xiao Fang was the only one that was on her side. Without realizing it, her impression of him started to change.
"Thank you, Long Wang," she said while cupping her hands back at him.
The gesture felt weird to her because she couldn't tell if he could see it or not, but it didn't really matter.
"The exam has now come to an end, please exit through back door and wait till it's your turn to reveal your class placements," the supreme elder said.
'Shameless,' Xiao Hei thought.
Xiao Fang had given the Supreme Elder a way out and she immediately took it. If she were true to her word then she would've still apologized to him. It was revealing to both Xiao Hei and Li Xiang the kind of person she was.
Xiao Hei was still upset, but since Xiao Fang told her to drop it, she eventually did.
"I would like to congratulate you girls one last time before you go. Study hard and train everyday, and maybe I'll see you again soon."
While Xiao Hei paid no attention to the Supreme Elder, Li Xiang was a bit inspired by it.
"I will do my best for the sect," Li Xiang bowed happily to the Supreme Elder.
The girls walked towards the door, but the supreme elder held Xiao Fang back to speak to him.
"That was very mature of you, Long Wang."
"Supreme Elder, was there something you wanted to speak to me about?"
'Straight to the point. He's an interesting kid,' the supreme elder thought.
"It's nothing really. I was curious about something Li Xiang told me. Are you really marrying into the Li Family clan?"
Xiao Fang paused.
No words were exchanged for a few seconds, but to the Supreme Elder it seemed like minutes had passed.
"I am seeing someone with the surname Li," Xiao Fang answered vaguely.
"Could that person be Li Lian?" the supreme elder asked a follow up question.
Xiao Fang wasn't sure how much Li Xiang had told the Supreme Elder, but it seems that she had told her everything. This was exactly what he was afraid of, and the reason why he didn't want Xiao Hei telling Li Xiang about Li Lian.
"You'll have to forgive me, my fiancée wishes to keep our relationship a secret. I cannot tell you who it is."
"I can't let you leave until you tell me," she immediately replied.
'Ah, so annoying,' Xiao Fang thought.
He thought about what to say then an idea came to mind.
"Clearly, this means a lot to you. If you want me to tell you the truth, then there's something I need you to do for me first."
Since he didn't make her apologize in front of the 2 girls, she felt that she already owed him a favor.
"Sure, what do you want?"
Xiao Fang smiled, then told her what he wanted.
"Is that it? You know, there are clubs for that in the inner court," she replied.
"Still, I would like it if you were the one to personally teach it to me. Are you unable to grant me this favor?"
The Supreme Elder thought about it for a moment, then said,
"Alright. I suppose it wouldn't be too much trouble."
"Good, then I expect to be seeing a lot more of you soon," Xiao Fang smiled.
Since she wanted to talk behind his back, he wasn't benevolent enough to spare her when revenge was within his reach. A noble man can even wait 10 years to take his revenge. Xiao Fang was going to enjoy his time with this supreme elder.
Xiao Fang then turned to leave, but the Supreme Elder stopped him again.
"Wait, aren't you going to tell me who your fiancée is? I already promised that I'd do as you asked."
"You also promised Fei Lin that you would apologize to me, so how could I trust your words. Fulfill your promise to me first, then I'll tell you the truth afterwards."
Hearing his words, the Supreme Elder didn't try to stop him from leaving this time, so she just watched him walk away.
When Xiao Fang turned the corner, Xiao Hei and Li Xiang saw him walking towards them, they assumed the Supreme Elder wanted to speak to him privately so they waited at the door for him.
"Did I keep you waiting for long?" Xiao Fang asked.
"No, it's alright. Li Xiang is fun to talk to. She also likes to play games like me," Xiao Hei said happily.
"We already waited for you for more than 10 hours, so 5 minutes felt like nothing to us," Li Xiang said.
Now that they were all here, Li Xiang finally pushed the exit doors open. With large strides and her chest puffed out, Li Xiang walked outside with a smug look on her face.
Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei followed. As soon as they stepped outside they immediately attracted the gaze of all of the disciples.
Out of the several thousands of disciples that had participated in the exam, only about a thousand had actually passed it. However, from the few disciples that passed, only Xiao Fang, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiang had completed the harder version of the exam, that was the reason why so many disciples were staring at them.
What Li Xiang was late to realize was that the crowd wasn't staring at 'them', they were just staring at her. She eventually turned around and discovered that Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei weren't behind her.
"Hm? Where'd they go?"

In the large colosseum-like waiting area, Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei were leisurely standing off to the side while under [ Stealth ].
Even though he didn't mind if the girls recognized him, it still would've been a bit annoying if they did.
While looking for the two, Li Xiang spotted someone else she knew.
"Bai Fan!" Li Xiang shouted happily.
Bai Fan quickly turned away and started walking in the opposite direction, hoping that Li Xiang would catch the hint. Bai Fan was a popular girl because of her high cultivation and background, but she preferred staying away from the spotlight as much as she could. Right now all eyes were on Li Xiang, and she was bringing their attention to Bai Fan as well.
"Bai Fan, what class did you get put into?" Li Xiang asked Bai Fan after catching up to her.
"Erm, I'm not sure. They gave it to us after we completed the exam," Bai Fan replied.
"Considering that you're a first year and that you came in first place, I wouldn't be surprised if they put you directly into the Tiger Class."
"Maybe, but I didn't finish first. Zhao Pan did," Bai Fan admitted.
Before today, Bai Fan had never compared herself to anyone older than her. She just assumed that if the girls older than her were her age they would've stood no chance against her, but after seeing how strong Zhao Pan was, she was beginning to have second thoughts.
Zhao Pan was a year older than Bai Fan, but she was already at the 1st stage of the Spirit Refinement realm and 9th stage of the Body Refinement realm. What Bai Fan was struggling to understand was why Zhao Pan would stay an extra year in the outer court.
'Was she unable to get the merit points in time?' Bai Fan thought.
The real reason didn't have anything to do with her merit points, but everything to do with the Disciplinary Department.
With Elder Yao's help, Zhao Pan became the head of the disciplinary department in only a year. Then, to follow in Yao Wu's footsteps, she stayed an extra year in the outer court to build up experience as the head of the outer court's disciplinary department.
In a separate room, a few elders seemed to be discussing the results of the exam.
"Why are the numbers so low?"
"Only a 1000 disciples passed the exam this year, that's less than half of last year. Could the disciples really be getting weaker or are the tests the supreme elder prepared just too difficult?"
Suddenly, the Supreme Elder walked into the room. The group of elders quickly all paid their respects.
"What are you all doing in here? Everyone is waiting for you to announce the results," the Supreme Elder said.
"My apologies, we were just waiting for your group to finish."
As the inner court elder was speaking, the Supreme Elder was making her way towards the table. She then picked up the brush then wrote down three names.
[ Fei Lin ]
[ Li Xiang ]
[ Long Wang ]
To everyone's surprise, after writing down the third name, she had put down the brush.
"Supreme Elder, this..."
"Go find their masters and inform them that their disciple had passed the exam," the supreme elder said before getting up from the chair and walking away.
The other elders were speechless as they watched her leave.
"How could there only be 3?"
No one knew the answer to this, their gut was telling them that there was something wrong with the maze challenge the Supreme Elder set up. They wanted to go check it out for themselves, but right now they needed to bring the exam to an end.
The audience composed of inner and core court disciples were getting tired of waiting. They could see that there were only about a thousand disciples that had passed the exam, but they just assumed it was because the disciples were all weak. Unfortunately, this also made Li Xiang and Bai Fan's accomplishments seem less impressive
As the disciples gossiped about how weak this year of disciples were, an elder suddenly materialized on center stage.
Using her spirit qi to amplify her voice, the elder began to speak, silencing the crowd.
"On behalf of the sect, I would like to first congratulate all of the disciples that passed the exam tonight. The exams were much harder this year than the previous years, so it's a surprise to all of us that so many of you were still able to pass it."
'Ah, so that's the case,' the disciples in the crowd thought. While most of the disciples were convinced by the elder's words, of course there were a few that were skeptical.
The elder began to say a few more words before moving on to the part everyone was waiting for.
"Now it's time we reveal the classes you've been put into."
The elder on stage then took out 3 crystals from her sleeve.
"If your spirit mark lights up, please walk up to the stage."
Hearing the simple instructions, the disciples started to get excited.
{"I'll tell you when your spirit mark lights up,"} Xiao Hei said to Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang gave her a light nod.
The elder then placed the first crystal into the strange looking stone podium in front of her. In the next moment, a bright light shot out of it, displaying what looked like an enormous ant in the sky.
Suddenly, the light on the upper right arm of several of the disciples could be seen lighting up. Since it was dark out, it was easy to see the spirit marks shining through their clothes.
The disciples then climbed up onto the stage. There was a faint applause since the insect class wasn't much of an accomplishment.
After the applause died down, the disciples got off the stage.
The elder took out the first crystal then put another one in. This time an image of a snake appeared in the sky. This time many of the disciples were cheering for them as the Snake class was not something many people could easily get into.
Xiao Fang was a bit relieved that Xiao Hei hadn't said anything yet. He knew that the mysterious elder had given him a class, but he didn't know which one.
'It seems the elder didn't go back on her promise after all,' Xiao Fang thought.
"Next up, the Tiger Class," the elder announced.
Suddenly, the spirit mark on Xiao Hei's arm began to light up.
{"Xiao Fang, that's me."} She said via spirit transmission as she let go of his hand.
{"Xiao Hei, wait. My spirit mark, has it..."}
Xiao Hei looked back at him then at his arm, but she didn't say anything. However, saying nothing was as good as an answer itself.
{"I see."}
Xiao Hei, as well as Li Xiang and a few others walked up to the stage. The crowd cheered louder than ever before. The Li family clansmen seemed to be cheering the loudest, but they were known to be a very loud group so it didn't surprise anyone that a few of them were even crying tears of joy to see Li Xiang up there.
The Tiger Class was a class only a few could hope to achieve before the age of 25, but Li Xiang was already being placed there at the age of 19.
Despite everyone cheering for her, Li Xiang seemed to be feeling a bit gloomy. There were only a few people standing on the stage with her, but she didn't see the person she was hoping to see.
'Where is Bai Fan,' she thought.
As the disciples were getting ready to leave, the elder finally took out a final crystal from her sleeve.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fang was still standing against the wall with a slight frown and a dark aura being released from his body. The people closest to him were still some distance away, but when his Death Reaper aura reached them, they started to feel a slight chill. However, since Xiao Fang was using [ Stealth ] they didn't know where it was coming from.
Xiao Fang wasn't mad that he didn't get into a class, he just didn't like that the elder lied to him.
'Dammit. Why is this pissing me off? I already knew how much the elders in this sect treated men, so something like this shouldn't be a surprise to me,' he thought.
Suddenly, Xiao Fang's knuckles began to crack just from clenching his fists too hard. He tried to suppress his anger, but it was still getting to him.
'I was so sure,' he thought.
Sensing that Xiao Hei was coming back, he cleared his mind and tried to suppress his anger the best he could, but there was still a bit lingered inside of him.
{"Don't worry, Xiao Fang. I'll still be able to give you whatever cultivation resources they give me."} Xiao Hei said through a spirit transmission.
Seeing Xiao Hei being so optimistic lightened his mood a bit. He patted her on the head then gave her a little smile.
"You're right. This may be a bit of a set back, but it won't change anything. Perhaps this is what I need to keep a low profile."
Looking through the prize she got for making it into the Tiger class, they were both surprised.
5,000 merit points
3 advanced spirit cultivation pills
[ Illusory Body ] method.
The design on the merit points were different from the merit points they received while they were in the outer court. Since Xiao Hei had no use for those things she immediately gave it to Xiao Fang.
After putting the spatial pouch away, he eventually noticed the strange expression on Xiao Hei's face.
{"What's wrong?"} He asked.
{"Your spirit mark, it's lighting up."}
{"What? Why would it-"}
Xiao Fang quickly realized that everyone was starting to look up, then a single thought crossed his mind.
{"Xiao Hei, quickly tell me what are they all looking at!"}
Xiao Hei looked up as well, but was mesmerized by what she saw.
"It's a, a..."
Unable to handle the suspense, Xiao Fang quickly took his blindfold off, then looked straight up at the night sky. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he saw the spectacular figure dancing in the air. Like Xiao Hei, he was now speechless too.

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Fang saw the projection of a magnificent creature. It danced in the air as it flapped its wings, and its body lit up the entire night sky.
'A Phoenix.'
Xiao Fang stood there speechless. He looked down at his arm to confirm what Xiao Hei said, then he saw it himself, his spirit mark was really lighting up.
"I thought the elder said the Tiger class was the highest we could get," Xiao Hei said enviously.
While the phoenix was still dancing in the air, people started to notice someone walking towards the stage.
"Hey, isn't that Bai Fan?"
Hearing Bai Fan's name, Li Xiang turned to see where she was. When she finally saw her she was about to call out her name, but stopped when she noticed that her spirit mark was lighting up. Feeling defeated, Li Xiang put her hand down, and watched as Bai Fan got further away from her. Even though they weren't friends, they considered each other as rivals. However, seeing Bai Fan on that stage made Li Xiang feel inferior to her.
When Bai Fan made it to the stage, she noticed that she wasn't alone. Zhao Pan had gotten there first.
Zhao Pan had a very domineering and fierce appearance, she didn't look like the kind of person someone would want to mess with. Her appearance on the stage was a bit disappointing to many of the inner court disciples watching from the stands, because the spirit and body cultivators always fought against each other in the inner court.
In the past, the Black Paradise sect only accepted spirit cultivating girls, but ever since the sect became the weakest out of the top 13 sects in the country, they started to accept both body cultivators and men into the sect.
Although they were being accepted into the sect, the men were discriminated against, while the body cultivators were being targeted and brutally attacked. Since many of the elders also felt the same way about body cultivators, they usually didn't investigate these attacks or they would just give the attackers light punishments if the offense was bad enough.
Zhao Pan was only 20 years old, but there was already a dangerous and unapproachable vibe about her. The inner court disciples in the audience could already tell that they would be no match against her, but there wasn't an ounce of fear from the girls that were currently in the Phoenix class. When they saw Zhao Pan, they just saw another person they could bully, so they were already plotting against her. If the sect had already put Zhao Pan into the Phoenix class that meant that she wasn't someone they could underestimate. They couldn't afford to wait, they needed to deal with her quickly before she got too strong.
{"Xiao Fang, aren't you going?"} Xiao Hei asked.
As it turned out, Xiao Fang was directly placed in the Phoenix class, so his talents would sooner or later be revealed.
"It seems I can't hide anymore."
{"Fang?"}
Xiao Fang came out of [ Stealth ] then started walking towards the stage.
As Xiao Fang was walking through the crowd of disciples, a few of them noticed the light on his arm.
"Another one?"
"Who is that?"
The girls in the audience also saw Xiao Fang, but one Phoenix-class disciple in particular looked at Xiao Fang with a special gaze.
Similar to the colour of her nails, she had long Black hair with crimson red ends. Since she always wore all black, she had a very sexy but intimidating look. She was 172cm tall, B-cup, 22 years old and her name was Chen Li.
Sitting back on her chair, Chen Li sucked on a sugarcane as she was getting a foot massage from another disciple. The female disciple that was giving Chen Li a foot massage was on her knees, but she was also from the Phoenix Class like her.
Chen Li took the candy out of her mouth then licked her lips when she saw Xiao Fang walking towards the stage.
"It seems this is going to be an interesting year after all."
Chen Li uncrossed her legs and spread them apart enough for the girl on her knees to see what was in between. The girl had a worried expression on her face as she could guess what Chen Li wanted, but her hesitation only made Chen Li frown. In the next moment, Chen Li grabbed her hair then pulled her head into her skirt. She wasn't wearing any panties, so the girl could feel Chen Li's smooth naked pussy on her lips. Realizing that her efforts were futile, she finally gave Chen Li what she wanted and began to lick her sacred fruit obediently.
Chun Li patted the girl on the head as if to comfort her, "There, there. That wasn't so hard was it. Don't worry, it looks like someone else will be taking over your place pretty soon," she said as she looked at Xiao Fang.
The girls sitting next to her knew what she was making the girl do, but they just acted as if they didn't see anything. Chen Li wasn't just someone with a strong backer, she was also one of the youngest geniuses in the sect and the strongest disciple in the Phoenix class.
Many of her classmates expected her to be put into the Dragon class this year, but she didn't pass the test, in fact, no one did. There was an accident involving another sect that prevented any of the Dragon Class disciples from making it into the Core Court. Since there could only be 20 disciples in the Dragon class, the only way Chen Li could get into that class was if she could take one of their seats. However, since the things the Dragon Class learned was far more advanced than what Chen Li learned in the Phoenix class, she wasn't just unable to beat any of them. They had completely humiliated her.
Stuck with Chen Li for another year, the Phoenix Class disciples could do nothing but hope that she made it into the Dragon Class next year. Every one of the 20 Dragon class disciples were absolute monsters, surely one of them would put her in her place.
Xiao Fang was now walking up the steps to the stage. When Li Xiang noticed him, she gasped in surprise. Unlike with Bai Fan, Li Xiang was actually happy to see him standing on the stage. She knew there was something special about him.
"Long Wang, you're amazing!" She cheered.
The other girls heard Li Xiang's cheers.
"Long Wang? Is that his name?" The girls began to wonder.
Contrary to Li Xiang's reaction, the crowd only murmured to themselves.
"Is it a mistake?"
"Normally, only the daughters of supreme elders or extremely talented disciples could be placed directly into the Phoenix class. I didn't see him in the top 5 in the first or second round. Could he be the son of a supreme elder?"
"I don't think so. I've never heard of him before."
"Neither have I."
No one in the audience knew who he was. The more they realized that, the more they were confident that it was a mistake. However, there were a few inner court elders that could recognize him, but since their dealings with him were shady, they stayed relatively quiet about knowing who he was.
Since no one saw Xiao Fang walk out of the same door Li Xiang did, they all assumed that he did the same ordinary test everyone else did. So if he wasn't in the top 10 it didn't make sense that he would be put into that class. Also, since no one knew who he was, they were confident that he wasn't the son of any supreme elders in the sect.
The crowd continued to stare at Xiao Fang. There were hardly any men in the sect, fewer men in classes, but there were absolutely none in the Phoenix class. The elders and disciples discretely made sure of that.
The illusory beast in the sky finally returned back into the 4th crystal, then the chatter began to get louder.
Based on what Xiao Fang could hear, it seemed that most of them were wondering the same thing. Was it a mistake?
Zhao Pan's general dislike of men made it so that she didn't even care to look at him when he walked up to the stage.
"Hm? Bai Fan... why is your face so red," Zhao Pan noticed.
"It's nothing," Bai Fan replied quietly.
Zhao Pan could tell it wasn't 'nothing', but she didn't care enough about other people's business to get too involved, so she ignored her.
Xiao Fang wasn't wearing the same ripped robes as before. Although he loved having his arms unrestricted by the loose fabrics, he felt it was inappropriate to wear it during the exam.
To Xiao Fang's surprise, many of the girls didn't recognize him. Even the girls that did, it was only a hunch. Since his sculpted physique, violet eyes, and handsome face was mostly hidden by his new robes, blindfold, and hair. There were only a handful of disciples that were able to recognize him. However, when the crowd started referring to him as Long Wang, they were starting to have doubts.
What Xiao Fang was forgetting was that the girls he did dual cultivate with had only seen him once, and the most defining feature about him wasn't his face or incredible physique, but his violet eyes. It was enchanting to the point that it was the only thing they could remember.
Furthermore, Xiao Fang had only dual cultivated with about a quarter of the girls standing around the stage, and most of them preferred to sleep with him with the lights off, just like Chun Hua did the first time he did it with her.
Despite all these reasons as to why they might have not been able to recognize him, he was still a bit confused by it.
'Most cultivators have a fairly decent memory, could the reason they forgot have anything to do with my eyes?' He wondered.
Xiao Fang had only recently learned about the [ charm ] effect his eyes had, so he was always wondering what else they were capable of.
Xiao Fang was actually relieved and a bit happy that they couldn't recognize him. Judging by the girl's reactions it seemed that he could start anew in the inner court.
As Xiao Fang, Bai Fan, and Zhao Pan were waiting to receive their reward from the elder, Xiao Fang noticed that Bai Fan was being a bit fidgety. She eventually built up the courage to turn and face him.
"You're him... aren't you," Bai Fan asked vaguely.
Xiao Fang quickly recognized Bai Fan, it wasn't hard to forget a cold beauty like her. Back when he was trying to get Jiang Mei's attention, he tried to find the most beautiful girl in the outer court so that he would have a better chance at getting Jiang Mei's attention. Unlike the other girls, Bai Fan was a lot harder for him to attract, but in the end she also fell victim to his [ charm ].
With his head turned slightly in her direction, he replied somewhat harshly.
"Who I am is none of your business."
Bai Fan was a bit taken aback by Xiao Fang's words. She never expected him to reply to her like that.
'Is he really the same person?' she thought.
She knew he had the same appearance as Da Long, but his aura was completely different. What she was feeling was his Death Reaper aura, it was a dark and sinister aura bubbling up inside of him. At first, Xiao Fang didn't think much about it, but the longer he went without cultivating the Death Reaper method after killing those disciples, the harder it was to control himself.
'Whether he is Da Long or not, really is no concern to me,' Bai Fan thought.
They had only hooked up once. Since she tried it she didn't have any more excuses not to move on. She didn't want to be like those other girls that were obsessed with him.
'It really is none of my business since I never planned to do that sort of thing with him again,' she thought. Finally thinking clearly, she realized that he was right to act that way, and she was a bit glad he did.
Despite what she thought, Xiao Fang was getting a bit worried. All the negative energy he got from the 20 disciples he killed was starting to affect the way he spoke. He needed to cultivate it quickly before he did anything too troublesome.
A few steps away, Zhao Pan was watching him silently. She was curious as to why Bai Fan would bother talking to Xiao Fang considering her reputation as being an unapproachable goddess in the outer court.
Zhao Pan had her arms crossed as she curiously stared at Xiao Fang. Of course, Xiao Fang noticed this, but considering how much his Death Reaper method was affecting him, he wanted to avoid any more confrontations for now.
Xiao Fang collected his reward from the elder, then walked off the stage. However, after he got off the stage, the corner of Zhao Pan's lips began to curve upwards.
'I found you.'

Xiao Fang, Bai Fan, and Zhao Pan walked off the stage, then the elders began to speak.
"The exam has now come to an end. If you've been put into a class, exit through the doors with your class symbol over them."
Even when Xiao Fang was off the stage, he noticed that there were still several eyes on him. Xiao Fang wasn't the shy type, but he found it annoying having so many people watch his every move.
{"Xiao Fang, how many merit points did you get?"} Xiao Hei asked as she caught up to him.
Hearing Xiao Hei's question, he also became curious. He opened his spatial pouch then checked inside.
15,000 merit points
15 advanced spirit cultivation pills
Complete [ Illusory Body ] method book
This combined with Xiao Hei's allowance put him at 20,000 merit points and 18 advanced spirit cultivation pills.
{"15,000!! Why are they giving you so much? Is this really your monthly allowance?"} Xiao Hei asked via spirit transmission.
{"It seems the sect really cares about their Phoenix Class disciples."}
As the two of them walked towards the exit, they saw Li Xiang standing by the Phoenix exit, and she was speaking to Bai Fan. Their conversation was brief. It seemed as though Li Xiang just wanted to congratulate Bai Fan for making it into the Phoenix class.
Bai Fan eventually went through the Phoenix class exit, leaving Li Xiang behind. Eventually, she noticed Xiao Fang coming her way.
"Long Wang!" Li Xiang called out to him as she happily ran over to his side.
"You looked so cool up there. I'm so jealous! Didn't you fail the Spirit Cauldron's tests? How were you still able to get put into a class?"
"Who said I failed the cauldron test? The elder inside the cauldron put me into a class after I passed her test. The reason why I didn't say anything until now was because I wasn't sure what class she had put me into," Xiao Fang explained.
"Elder? What elder are you talking about?" Li Xiang asked.
"Didn't you see the elder in the Spirit Cauldron?" Xiao Fang asked in response.
Li Xiang shook her head.
Xiao Fang then looked down at Xiao Hei next to him and asked her too, but it turned out that neither of them had seen the elder.
Following Xiao Fang's gaze, Li Xiang noticed Xiao Hei silently standing behind him.
"Xiao Hei, when did you get there? I saw you on stage with me, but after that you just disappeared."
"I was with Long Wang the whole time," Xiao Hei replied.
"The whole time?" She said in surprise as she looked back up at Xiao Fang.
'They must be really close, must be nice to have someone like that,' Li Xiang thought.
Xiao Fang suddenly took Xiao Hei by the hand then began sending some of his qi into her. Even if this wasn't the way she preferred he did it, it still gave her a pleasurable feeling when it entered her body.
Li Xiang watched as Xiao Hei's gaze gradually changed the longer he held her hand. Xiao Fang eventually let go, but Xiao Hei's gaze still stayed the same.
"Li Xiang, Fei Lin, I hope to see the both of you again soon," he said before entering the Phoenix class exit.
Xiao Hei seemed as if she was in love. Xiao Fang's qi was inside of her. For some reason the thought of it seemed naughty, but it was a shame that she couldn't get it from his dick instead.
Looking at how close Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei were, Li Xiang began to wonder why they were acting this way.
'Didn't she say he already had a fiancée?' Li Xiang thought.
"Fei Lin, we should get going, too. The inner court waits for us on the other side," Li Xiang said before grabbing Xiao Hei's hand and taking her through the Tiger Class exit.
Xiao Hei was a bit distracted, so she didn't hear Li Xiang's words, but she still let her pull her along.
Xiao Fang had called Xiao Hei by the name she came up with. Where she was from, no one treated spirit pets nicely, so she felt incredibly lucky to have someone like Xiao Fang as her master. He made her feel free.
After leaving the girls, Xiao Fang could feel his Death Reaper method become even more irritating. Having those two girls with him before had made it easier to suppress his negative thoughts. Now that he was alone, he found it almost unbearable.
Xiao Fang followed the curved hallway, but eventually encountered someone in that dimly lit place.
Despite the girl blocking his path, he didn't stop walking.
"Move," he said calmly, while suppressing the urges of his death Reaper method.
"I'm here on behalf of Chen Li. She-"
"I'm not in the mood," Xiao Fang cut her off.
"You!"
Xiao Fang was now in front of her. The disciple tried to make Xiao Fang stop, but the moment her hand touched his shoulder a chill ran up her spine.
"I told you to move."
[ Fear ]
The girl suddenly fell back on her butt and looked up at him in horror. Xiao Fang paid no attention to her as he walked past her trembling body.
A few seconds later, the effects of [ Fear ] slowly wore off.
'Why was I so scared? He's only just got into the inner court. How could he possibly stand a chance against me, a Phoenix Class Disciple,' she thought.
Still sitting on the ground, the girl looked back at Xiao Fang, then a spirit whip appeared in her hand. She whipped it at Xiao Fang and it wrapped around him, restraining his body.
Xiao Fang was concentrating too much on suppressing his Death Reaper method that he didn't even notice what she was doing, and since the attack wasn't threatening in any way, his swordsman's instincts didn't alert him of the attack.
However, she was only at the Spirit Core realm and he was at the Profound Body and Spirit realm. So with a simple motion, he easily broke through the restraint.
'I-Impossible."

"I-Impossible."
The dim corridor suddenly became darker as Xiao Fang's death Reaper aura seeped out of him. When it reached the girl she began to tremble again.
The girl instantly regretted her actions. It didn't matter that he was a first year, she had never seen anyone break her spirit whip so effortlessly before.
'I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...' she thought worriedly.
Unlike in the outer court, there were severe consequences for killing someone in the inner court, but still she felt as though he was going to do it. He was really going to take her life.
Every cell in her body was screaming for her to run, but her legs weren't responsive. But then, she heard what sounded like the hissing of a snake.
A steady stream of air was leaving Xiao Fang's lungs as he calmed himself down. As long as he was still conscious he wasn't going to let the urges take control of his actions. His fighting spirit was too strong for that.
Eventually the Death Reaper aura began to disappear, then the girl felt like she could breathe again. Just when she thought it was over, she suddenly felt a tugging sensation on her body. In the next moment she was being pulled across the floor by an invisible force towards Xiao Fang, stopping only a few meters away from him.
Now kneeling behind him she wanted to beg for her life, but before she could, he began to speak.
"I don't know who this Chen Li is. Tell her if she has something to say to me, she can come say it to me herself."
"I will, I promise I will!" The girl said as if her life depended on it.
Xiao Fang continued to walk down the hallway leaving the girl behind, but even though he was gone she still couldn't get up.
In all her life she had never felt so close to death.
'That man is a monster.'
Standing farther back in the same curving hallway, Zhao Pan stood motionless.
'What was that...' she thought as sweat began to appear on her face.
When the feeling finally passed she cautiously continued walking down the hallway, eventually seeing a girl lightly trembling on her knees.
'What the hell happened here,' Zhao Pan thought.
She continued walking down the hallway, but when she got closer, the girl eventually heard Zhao Pan coming then began to panic,
"Get away!" She screamed.
Without thinking, she quickly whipped Zhao Pan with the same attack, but Zhao Pan easily caught the spirit whip in the air.
When the girl realized who it was, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sorry about that, I thought you were someone else," the girl said as she let the whip fade into a mist of qi.
"What happened here," Zhao Pan asked.
"It's... it's nothing. I must've tripped," the girl replied as she began to stand back up.
However, after she stood up, they both noticed the puddle of urine under her.
"Tripped... right," Zhao Pan sighed and shook her head.
Since the girl didn't want to say anything, then there was nothing else to do. Zhao Pan didn't care enough to get involved in her business, so she continued walking passed her.
When Zhao Pan exited the hallway, she saw Xiao Fang and Bai Fan already here, speaking to an inner court elder with the Phoenix symbol on her robe. Suddenly, Xiao Fang left, then a few seconds after he was gone, the elder gave Bai Fan something then she left too.
When Zhao Pan approached the elder, she immediately asked,
"Teacher, please tell me where they're going?"
"I am not your teacher, I am your teacher's assistant. As for Long Wang and Bai Fan, they were both too tired to take the tour tonight, so I let them go home to rest," the elder replied.
"Elder, that guy was a huge troublemaker in the outer court, and he was almost impossible to find. We can't let him get away like this."
"I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. Every inner court disciple's robes are specially made to track your location and life signs. If there are any problems we are quick to respond to any emergencies."
"What if he doesn't wear the robes?" Zhao Pan asked.
"Wearing the inner court robes and going to classes are mandatory. Failure to wear your robes or attend classes may result in your immediate demotion to the Tiger class," the elder explained.
"I see. Does he know all of this?"
"Mh hm, but he didn't seem too happy about the last bit of information I just told you. It seems he really was a troublemaker in the outer court," the elder seemed amused.
Zhao Pan's eyes lit up. 'Finally! Your days of hiding are over,' she thought.
"Is it possible for you to put me in a house closest to his?" Zhao Pan requested.
"Of course, I could even put you into the same house if that's what you really want," the elder smirked meaningfully. "but you'd need his permission first since he chose the house before you."
"No need. Any house close to his would be fine," Zhao Pan acted as if she didn't catch the meaning behind the elder's mischievous smirk.
Since the elder assumed that none of the girls would've wanted a boy to live near them, she intentionally gave him a house away from the others, she didn't think both Zhao Pan and Bai Fan would ask to live next to him.
'He must be a popular boy to have so many beautiful girls after him like this,' the elder thought.
"Alright, here you go then," the elder said as she handed Zhao Pan a key.
"Hurry off to bed, I'll see you tomorrow morning." the elder said, noticing that Zhao Pan seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
"Thank you, elder."
Zhao Pan quickly bowed to the elder before rushing off.
'Ah, must be nice to be young and in love. I wonder which of those two girls will get to him first," she chuckled.
The inner court elder then sighed.
'If only I fooled around more when I was their age,' the middle-aged looking elder thought as she watched Zhao Pan go.
'Should I go visit Lust City again? But the last time I went it was so expensive,' she thought.
The elder checked her spatial pouch.
'It looks like it's going to take me another few months till I have enough to go again,' she frowned.
Suddenly, she started thinking about Xiao Fang.
Even if most people couldn't see it, his robes couldn't hide his incredible physique from her eyes. She could tell Xiao Fang was too fit to be a spirit cultivator, but since Xiao Fang was in the Profound Body realm, what she was fantasizing was still shy of the truth.
'If only I could...' she paused.
'... (sigh) why am I having such useless thoughts. Something like that will never happen.'
Unlike men, most female cultivators never wanted to sleep with anyone weaker than, or even in the same realm as them. So the higher their cultivation got, the more limited their options became.
The Black Paradise sect was pretty much a chastity prison, but also every father's dream. So, the only way the sect could get girls to stay was to have them hate men. However, there were several elders that saw through the propaganda as they got older, but they still stayed in the sect for the benefits they received. Whenever they needed to blow some steam there was a place between provinces known as Lust City where they could go to, but since it was harder to climax due to their high cultivation realms, they needed to spend a lot more money to satisfy their urges.
This was the current problem with the sect. Luckily, they were finally starting to accept more men into the sect, so many of the elders were starting to get ideas...

Report chapter
The residential area in the inner court was divided by class: Insect, Snake, Tiger, Phoenix, and Dragon. They were each given their own houses, but the disciples not in a class had to live in dorms with roommates.
Although the insect-class contained the greatest number of students, they had the smallest area of land allocated to them. The higher the class, the more land they were given. The houses were a bit bigger and the scenery was even more beautiful too.
Since the teacher assistant intentionally put Xiao Fang into a house furthest away from the other girls, there was nothing but the serene sound of nature around him. The closest house to him was about a 100 meters away, but his closest neighbor was just over 500 meters away.
'Finally home,' he thought happily.
As soon as Xiao Fang entered his house it only took him a second to scan the interior of the house with his ears. Although he wanted to rest, he needed to do something about the death energy filling his dantian.
Just like in Li Lian's house, there was an open space at the center of the house. It had an open roof, a grass floor, and a small tree in the middle. The space was only about 10 meters by 10 meters, but it was open enough to simulate being in a real park.
Finding a spot on the grass, he crossed his legs then began meditating the [ Death Reaper ] method. As soon as he started, he noticed that his body was finally loosening up. After all that time of controlling his urges, he felt like he could finally let it go like a good clean fart. He was so relaxed he felt like he could sleep.
After a few hours of meditating, he eventually did.
Outside of his door, Bai Fan stood there wearing hardly anything at all. The moonlight illuminated her figure while the breeze lightly swayed her hair and thin fairy-like gown in the wind.
She wanted to knock on his door, but she didn't want to seem like that kind of girl. Truth was she thought she was over him, but standing next to him earlier just reminded her of how much she still craved for him.
She stood outside of his door for a few minutes before finally putting her hand down. She resisted the temptation to knock on his door.
'Once he learns that I am living near him, he might come to me on his own,' she thought.
She didn't want to sleep alone on this beautiful lonely night, but she felt like it was the right move. She eventually left his door, then went back home to rest.
Meanwhile, Zhao Pan was watching from a far as Bai Fan was standing at Xiao Fang's door. She was planning to make a move on him as well, but changed her mind after discovering that Bai Fan was also here.
'I will have the whole year with him, I'll get plenty of chances to jump him in the future,' she thought.
Between 2 - 3 hours later, Xiao Fang woke up. That was about all the rest he needed to feel fully awake at his cultivation realm.
Xiao Fang was still sitting in the lotus position, but the only difference now was that he was at the 3rd stage of the [ Death Reaper ] Refinement realm and was approaching another breakthrough.
Even if that was a pretty big jump from the 1st stage, he needed to kill 20 people to do it.
'How many people do I have to kill to cultivate this method,' he thought.
Especially when he enters the Spirit Core or Profound realm it's going to become a lot harder to make breakthroughs. Would he eventually need to kill thousands of people just to cultivate this method?
Xiao Fang didn't like the idea of killing the innocent for his own convenience. Even though killing came easy to him now, he wouldn't do so without reason.
Suddenly a smile crept up on his face when he thought about the Chaos sect.
'It seems I'll need to pay them a visit,' he thought.
As Xiao Fang continued cultivating the Death Reaper method after using up all of the death energy in his dantian, he noticed that it was a lot easier to cultivate the method now.
It seemed that although the death energy he gained from killing people benefitted his [ Death Reaper ] method and slowed down the effects of the curse, the main benefit he gained was that it became easier to cultivate the technique even without killing anyone.
Discovering this made Xiao Fang feel a bit better.
Chaos Sect:
Currently ranked 2nd in the country, 1 above the Divine Sword sect (ranked 3rd). This was the place his half-sister lived for a majority of her life.
The Divine Sword sect and the Chaos sect had been at each other's throats for as long as anyone could remember, but since both sects were infamous for their cruelty and tyranny, everyone preferred it this way.
Several years ago, they tried to create an alliance by marrying Xiao Fang's father, Xiao Jianhong, with the Patriarch's daughter of the Chaos sect.
For a time, the Divine Sword sect and the Chaos sect were no longer attacking each other. Which meant their focus was now on the weaker sects around them.
The weaker sects were in trouble. They had to create alliances to fight them off, but their efforts were futile. Even the 13 major sects were in trouble.
There was almost an all out war against the Divine Sword sect and the Chaos sect, so the Royal Court nearly had to get involved. However, for some reason, the Chao Sect became hostile towards the Divine Sword sect again. No one cared so much as to why things returned to how they were, but they were glad it did.
Only a select few in the Divine Sword sect, Chaos sect, and the Royal Court knew the reason why their alliance was broken. It was because of the birth of Xiao Fang.
Xiao Jianhong broke the agreement and had relations with another woman in secret. That woman of course was Yu An. When the Chaos sect discovered this they immediately returned the Chaos sect Patriarch's daughter back to their sect, along with their 4 year old daughter, Xiao Fang's half sister.
This was the reason why it was assumed Xiao Fang's assassin when he was 13 years old was from the Chaos sect. Of course there were some dark organizations who knew of their history so it could've been them that tried to kill Xiao Fang to restore the two major sect's alliance, but in the end they were unsuccessful, and Xiao Kong hid and denied Xiao Fang's existence from the world to protect him.
Xiao Kong, Xiao Fang's grandfather, never trusted the Chaos sect, especially during their alliance. He knew that if they didn't end up betraying them now, then they would in 50 or a 100 years from now. Instead of waiting for that to happen, he created Xiao Fang with a string of presumed coincidences. The human mind was too predictable, especially to a genius like Xiao Kong.
Unfortunately, the Royal court had recently put him on a mission away from the country, so the Divine Sword sect was temporarily vulnerable to external forces. Xiao Kong had no other choice but to form another alliance with the Chaos sect and agree to their terms which involved Yu An's execution, and banishment of 'Xiao Fang, The Cripple'.
To ensure that they kept their promise, the Chaos sect Patriarch agreed to let his daughter and granddaughter (Xiao Fang's half-sister) return to the Divine Sword sect to live with Xiao Jianhong.
Even though they were welcomed as honored guests, they were in fact Xiao Kong's insurance that the Chaos sect wouldn't attack them while he was away from the country.
He knew Wu Yue would never kill Yu An, so he ordered someone he trusted to tail her and finish the job if Yu An couldn't come up with a way to fake her death. Xiao Kong understood where to draw the line so he didn't do anything too extreme unless it was absolutely necessary.
Whether Wu Yue told Xiao Fang or not was up to her. He knew Yu An wouldn't do it, but Wu Yue might. If Xiao Fang hated Xiao Kong more after this then it would only encourage him to get stronger more quickly.
What Xiao Kong didn't expect was for Xiao Fang to get someone pregnant and temporarily return to the Divine Sword sect so soon. Well, that didn't change anything. If anything, things just played out even better than he planned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~"R-18"~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stepping outside of his house, Xiao Fang took a deep breath in.
"Ahh, even the air smells nicer here."
Of course, Xiao Fang didn't come to the inner court just to smell the air. It's been awhile since he dual cultivated with anyone so he decided to take a walk to scout for potential partners, but since it was still night out, very few people were outside of their house, so Xiao Fang went back home.
'The teacher assistant told me she would be taking me and Bai Fan and a few others out on a tour today. There's still some time till the sun will rise. What shall I do till then?'
Xiao Fang began to think about the teacher assistant, then he recalled her gaze.
Although Xiao Fang had only been in the sect for a year, there were only two types of elders that he encountered, they were rather condescending or curious about men. Both types of elders would still fall victim to his naked sword in the end, but generally the condescending elders were more of a challenge to conquer while the curious ones were usually really horny like him.
Xiao Fang was too distracted about his Death Reaper method at the time to realize it, but the teacher assistant wasn't being condescending nor indifferent to him at all, she seemed genuinely curious about him. She was a beautiful middle aged woman who seemed a bit too energetic for her age. She had a youthful spirit, but there wasn't anything special about her proportion nor did she give him a memorable first impression. She seemed like a normal energetic woman, but if she was a Phoenix class teacher assistant at her young age then she definitely was a very talented cultivator. Perhaps in a year or two she might even start teaching a Phoenix class of her own.
Xiao Fang thought about it for a few minutes then eventually made up his mind.
Xiao Fang walked towards the place they agreed to meet, then found the teacher assistant sitting on the bench.
"Oh, Long Wang you're here. Did you come for the tour?"
"Mn, I did. Am I early?"
"You are, the sun still hasn't risen yet."
Seeing the blindfold on Xiao Fang's face she assumed he couldn't even tell the difference between night and day, so she didn't blame him.
Xiao Fang sat down on the bench beside the elder then began to speak to her. She was surprised by his maturity and wisdom. There were times when he spoke in poems and times when he made her laugh.
Even though only a few minutes passed, she felt as if they had known him for a long time. The way Xiao Fang spoke and his energy matched hers, but he was still cool and reserving like a matured man usually was. It was hard to imagine that he wasn't her age because it was just too easy to speak to him and they were getting along so well.
He never said too much, and he never said too little, he would always leave a little bit of himself a mystery and always managed to make her want to tell him more about the things she cared about.
15 minutes into their conversation she noticed that he was holding something back.
"Long Wang, if there's something you want to say, you can say it. We haven't known each other for long, but I'd like you to think of me as your big sister. You can speak freely with me from now on."
Xiao Fang took a moment to think then finally began to speak.
"Big sis, it would be a bit embarrassing if the other girls see me like this. As you can tell, I am blind, so it's impossible for me to know what looks nice on me or not. As you said, it hasn't been long since we got to know each other, but I already feel like I can trust you. If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind helping me find something nice to wear before the other girls come?"
"Something nice to wear?" She thought out loud.
The elder knew what he was talking about. Looking down at his robes, it seemed as if he had clumsily put it on. It was clear to her that Xiao Fang couldn't see, otherwise he never would've gone outside looking like that.
"Umm, alright. We still have a lot of time till the other's are supposed to arrive so I suppose I could help you this time," she said.
"Thank you, I will certainly repay this favor."
[ Xiao Fang's House ]
Xiao Fang had taken her back to his house. After the elder closed the door behind her, Xiao Fang began to take off his robes as he walked towards his bedroom. He eventually stopped when he noticed that the elder was frozen in place.
"Aren't you coming?" He asked as if he was genuinely confused by her actions.
"Huh... uh, y-yeah. I was just... uh, never mind," she fumbled her words as she stared at his toned naked upper body.
She was glad that he was blind because she was as red as a radish and couldn't stop looking at his arms and abs. She eventually started following him a few steps behind till they reached his bedroom.
On the bed were, 4 differently designed inner court robes laid out in display. It was almost as if he knew she would come.
"Here they are, please tell me which one I should try on first."
The elder then picked up a set of robes she thought would look nice on him then turned to face him with the robes in her hands.
"Ahh!!" She screamed and quickly covered her eyes.
Xiao Fang was taking his pants off.
"Big sis, did something happen?"
The elder was taking a peek through her fingers as she watched his sleeping dragon dangling below.
'6? No, maybe 7 inches limp! Most guys wouldn't even have that kind of length when they're fully erect,' she thought as she subconsciously swallowed.
She realized that he probably couldn't see her covering her eyes so whether she was looking or not didn't change what he thought of her. Seeing that he wasn't embarrassed, but confused by her reaction, she slowly began to move her hand from her face, but her eyes still stuck to his lower region like glue.
"If this is inconvenient for you, I can always ask someone else to help me," Xiao Fang said.
"No, it's alright. I-I can help you," she replied.
She began dressing him up like some kind of servant. She was a bit hesitant at first, but she curiously started touching his naked muscular body with her smooth gentle hands. Her hands weren't just gentle but also incredibly smooth. She touched him more and more, sometimes she even touched him erotically, it was almost as if she was trying to get a reaction out of his little brother. Truthfully, she was.
Of course none of it went unnoticed to Xiao Fang.
'Looks like I was right about her,' he smirked inwardly.
They went through each robe, trying them on one by one. She helped him put on the robes, then helped him strip to put on another. However, every time she took his pants off she would go on her knees and pull it down so that she could get a closer look at his long limp dick. She was so close Xiao Fang could feel her breath on its tip. Oh how she wished she could just...
'What a cougar,' Xiao Fang thought.
He hadn't even said anything to her, but she was already like this just from seeing him strip.
"How does this one look?" he asked after she finished helping him put on the last set.
The elder seemed a bit depressed. She kept touching his body erotically hoping to see a reaction from his little brother, but it didn't even flinch once. They had gone through all of the robes so she now had to pick one. She wasn't really paying attention to his robes at all, because she was too focused on his body the whole time.
"Umm, I think the 2nd one looked good on you," she replied.
She thought they all looked good on him, but she felt that he looked even better when he was naked.
'Why am I having so many dirty thoughts. How much longer will I be able to hold myself back?' she thought.
She began taking his robes off 1 last time, this time touching him more in hopes to see his meat stick grow, but when she went on her knees to take his pants off, she noticed a bulge. Her eyes widened, as she began to pull his pants down. Suddenly, something between his legs began to rise up. Her pretty eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
'It's so big.'
She knew it would be big, but she didn't think it would get this big.
"You... your..."
"It's a bit hard to control when your hands feel so nice," Xiao Fang replied.
"It's... it's no problem. I'm your big sis after all. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this," she said while her cheeks were flushed red.
Although it was true that it wasn't her first time, it certainly was the first time she was seeing one this big.
"Would you... like me to take care of it for you?" She asked as she began to wrap her tender fingers around his long thick cock.
As if to convince him to say yes, she also wrapped her other hand around his erect rod then began to stroke him slowly. He had to admit, she really did have nice hands, he felt like he could get off from her hands alone.
Suddenly his dick got even harder and twitched while she was stroking him. She felt as if what she was doing was working so she did it a bit faster.
'Ah fuck, her hands feels so nice. It really has been to long since I did something like this,' Xiao Fang thought.
Without waiting for his reply, the teacher assistant brought her mouth closer to the tip of his penis then started licking around it with her warm wet tongue.
She finally put her soft lips around his mushroom then started bobbing her head as she licked his glans. Her mouth was so warm and wet, her lips stroked his head, and her soft hands stroked his shaft. He didn't think she'd be this good, so he was pleasantly surprised.
"What do you say, is big sis making you feel good? Do you want to make this big sis feel good too?" She asked while she was looking up at him with her breathtakingly beautiful eyes. It was the look of someone that wanted to get impaled by his majestic rod. A craving cougar, through and through.
The way she was looking up at him now made him feel as if she were going to start begging for it.
Xiao Fang put his hand on her head as she was sucking his soul, then finally spoke,
"Take off your clothes."

While Xiao Fang was lying face up on his bed, the teacher assistant took her panties off then crawled on top of him. She slowly squatted, bringing her butt down only a few inches above his face.
'Long Wang, can you see how wet I am? Look, I'm showing you both of my holes, aren't I a naughty teacher assistant?' She thought as she was rubbing her clit.
She was in such an embarrassing position, but it was turning her on even more. She didn't know if he could see through his blindfold, but having it on gave her the courage to do something this embarrassing.
She closed her eyes and her breathing became erratic as she rubbed her pussy more vigorously.
"Ah, yes, yes, ah~" she moaned under her breath.
Her warm pussy juice started to trail down her beautiful fingers and drip down onto his face.
'Look at my tight pussy and asshole. Can you see it? Can you see how wet I'm getting? I'm like this because of you. Ahh~ lick my pussy and make me cum, I want to sit on your face, Long Wang.'
She continued having naughty thoughts, thinking that Xiao Fang couldn't see what she was doing, even though he really could. Suddenly, she started to see his penis grow again.
'H-he can see it. He can see what I'm doing, and he's getting hard from it,' she thought in shock.
Xiao Fang didn't think less of her at all for being so perverted, since he was a pervert himself. Even though she was embarrassed, instead of stopping she only picked up the pace, it was as if knowing that he could see her only turned her on even more.
Xiao Fang's arms suddenly began to wrap around her thighs, then he lifted his head up to kiss her moist pussy lips. He started teasing her labia then she stopped rubbing her clit.
"Long Wang, ahh~ that's-"
Pah!
"Ahhha~~"
Xiao Fang spanked her jelly-like ass then squeezed them tightly. Her round ass felt incredible in his hands.
Feeling that he was going to take over, she retracted her hands then moved her hair to one side as she lowered her head down to his crotch. She watched his dick closely as it twitched in the air.
'Does he want me to use my mouth again?' she thought.
She wrapped her delicate fingers around his shaft then licked the tip of his penis like it was candy. Xiao Fang instantly reacted to her tongue, but it was stronger than the first time because he was now stuffing his face with her pussy.
Suddenly, Xiao Fang felt her shy lips on his spearhead. The incredible warmth inside of her mouth made his dick as hard as steel, feeling her lips stroke his shaft felt even better than the first time she did it.
Her saliva-coated tongue started to caress his dick as she delicately cupped his balls and stroked his shaft. Xiao Fang nearly moaned, but he didn't let that stop him from eating her out.
Xiao Fang finally rested his head back down on the bed, but he brought her butt down with him. She was now sitting on his face as he messily made love to her sloppy wet pussy.
'Ahha~ This is amazing. He's still so hard even though I'm sitting on his face,' she thought happily.
She could feel Xiao Fang's face between her crack, the feeling was so embarrassing to her, but she didn't stop him. Instead, her toes began to curl as she moved her hips back and forth.
"Myhmm~~" she moaned as she felt his tongue digging deeper into her pussy.
Xiao Fang could taste her sweet nectar as his tongue caressed her walls, and her pussy was so soft and wet it made squishy sounds as he thrusted into it.
"Ouuu~ right there, Long Wang, yes~ ahh~ yes~ that feels good, ahhaa~"
Her asscheeks squished around his face as her pussy stuffed his mouth. Xiao Fang pulled his tongue out then started sucking on her clit to make it more sensitive, then he licked it as it shyly poked out. Just from that she felt like she was going to cum.
"Mymm~ myhmm~ mymmmm~"
She moaned like a nymphomaniac as she desperately swirled her tongue around his long hard dick. So caught up in the heat of things, she even began to slide it down her throat. When it was fully in there was nothing left for her to hold, so she rested her hands on his thighs before she started to bob her head up and down.
'Agh, her throat is so hot and tight. She's going to make me cum,' he thought.
Feeling proud of herself, she wrapped her hands around his thighs as she began to thrust even faster. She wanted him to cum, she yearned for it. She wanted to prove to him that she wasn't just a pretty face, she wanted to show him that she wasn't lacking in this area.
Xiao Fang was feeling so good that he started thrusting. Her throat made lewd sounds as he was throat-fucking her. His naked sword was thickly coated in her warm saliva, so it slid back and forth in her tight throat with ease. The feeling was greater than words could explain.
'Agh! I'm going to cum, I can't hold it in,' he thought.
He moved his tongue a bit faster as he started licking her G-spot.
"Ahhhaaaa!~"
She cocked her head back, separating her mouth from his cock.
"No, not there, not there, I'm going to cum you're going to make me cum!" She warned him as her lower body squirmed.
She gritted her teeth in pleasure and closed her eyes tightly as Xiao Fang attacked her weakest spot. Suddenly, she felt his hand push her head back down, making her swallow his dick whole once again.
She sounded like she was choking on his dick as he savagely fucked her throat. She suppressed her gags as she sucked him like a pacifier. Her throat was so slippery and tight, it was impossible for him to do this for long. In the next moment, he could feel his cum rushing to his tip.
'Fuck, I'm cumming.'
Suddenly, thick sperm shot into her throat, smeared her pink inner walls. She kept sucking on it even while he was nutting, so he pushed his dick as deep as it could go. It was the ultimate deep-throat experience.
At the same time, her asscheeks clenched around his face, her pretty feet arched, and her pussy tightened around his tongue. She was also climaxing.
"Nhhhnnnnn!!~~~"
She slightly raised her beautiful butt up in the air as her pussy started to squirt. Clear sparkling fluids ejected out of her beautiful pussy as she orgasmed. Her legs kicked and squirmed, she tried to break free, but Xiao Fang was resilient. He didn't let go, he kept sucking her yin qi which only made her squirt even more. The moment her squirt entered his mouth, it immediately evaporated into nourishing dual cultivation qi for him to cultivate with later on.
'I'm cumming so much. Long Wang, don't think any less of me, this feels too good,' she said in her head.
Her long sexy legs eventually squeezed around his neck, she was no longer embarrassed that he was sucking her pussy juice, it felt too good to stop and she wanted him to suck more.
Xiao Fang had only made her climax once, but he could already tell that cumming on his face was her secret fetish.
When her climax was over, she eventually realized what she did.
'I-I can't believe I just did that, and I came so much. I was cumming and sitting on his face, but he kept sucking it the whole time. Did he really like it that much?' she thought with reddened cheeks.
Before she knew it, Xiao Fang started moving his tongue again.
"Ahhaa~~"
Xiao Fang made her cum a few more times in that position before he finally pinned her down beneath him and stroked his cock between her slippery slit.
"Ahh, L-Long Wang, wait," she said hesitantly because of the size of his cock.
Although her mouth-pussy felt nice, he knew he would enjoy this way more.
"Elder, tell me you want it. I want to hear you say it. Tell me you want me to fuck you're tight pussy."
Her eyes were closed as she let out erotic breaths. Her pussy was so wet and sensitive from coming from his mouth so many times that she felt like she could climax just from him rubbing his dick along her slit.
"Yes, Long Wang, yes. Do it. Fuck me roughly and make me cum. I want it, I want it. Give it to me, put it inside of me," she begged.
Xiao Fang wrapped an arm around her then tightly squeezed her fat breast.
"As you wish."
He then guided his long fat dick to her entrance then pushed it in.
"Ahhhhhhaa~ it's inside of me. Yes, fuck me, fuck me, ahh~ right there."
Xiao Fang wasn't playing nice, he immediately started thrusting viciously into her sensitive pussy, making her scream in ecstasy. He ruthlessly stretched and pounded deep inside of her slippery fuck-hole with the intent to dominate her with every thrust.
"Fuck! Long Wang. Yes! yes! yes! Ahhhaaah!!~"
[ Naked Sword Beating Sun ]
He choked her with his free hand as his body temperature quickly rose. He was still hugging her from behind as he squeezed her breast, so she couldn't escape the pleasurable heat he was emitting.
His pace increased, and the claps got louder, he was fucking her so hard she felt her mind going blank.
Before she could cum, he changed positions. He quickly made her lay on her back then tucked his hands under her ass after stuffing his fat penis back in.
[ Naked Sword Charging Bull ]
He thrusted faster and faster, raising her butt off the bed every time he pushed his dick deep into her tight wet pussy. Her womb was so deep, but he could finally feel it in this position. With every thrust he threatened to break through it.
"Ahhhh!~ ahhhhh!~ ahhhhhh!~"
She moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She didn't care about how deep his dick was going, she could only feel intense pleasure from it because he was releasing so much dual cultivation qi.
"Hah~ hah~ agh!~ you're so tight!" he grunted as he thrusted into her hot oven.
There bodies sweated so much, so their skin squished and rubber more easily as they fucked. She had a fragrant mature smell to her, but it smelled better because she was hugging him so tightly.
Her delicate hands slid across his broad back, feeling every muscle. She didn't feel like she was just being fucked by a man, she felt like she was being ravaged by a sex god. She couldn't even remember how they got to this point, but she didn't care. All she knew was that she wanted to be fucked all night like this.
"Long Wang, I'm going to-"
She was only moments away from cumming, so Xiao Fang pulled her in.
[ Naked Sword Thrusting Heaven ]
Suddenly her legs shook, her toes curled, and a stream of Yin qi began to pour. She was climaxing.
Without even realizing it, Xiao Fang had pierced through her womb. In the state she was in she could hardly react to it, but Xiao Fang on the other hand was feeling great. He quickly absorbed all of the Yin qi that was in there then shot out his thick buttery milk.
Her body trembled lightly as she felt his cum pouring in, and her tight grip around him loosened as she tried to catch her breath.
"Long Wang, that was amazing."
She kissed him softly. She didn't know why she did it, but it just felt right.
Seeing that he came so much inside of her, she started to feel even better. If Xiao Fang liked her pussy so much then there was a chance that she could do it with him again. This whole experience was greater than anything she ever felt from lust city, so she would've begged him to do it again if she had to.
What she didn't realize was that the cum inside of her was now slowly turning into nourishing energy for her dantian to absorb.
Even though the chances of getting someone with a high cultivation realm pregnant was extremely low, it was still better safe than sorry. While his Yang qi helped improve a girl's spirit cultivation, his cum would improve their body cultivation.

Xiao Fang big spooned the teacher assistant under his blanket. He lightly touched her sweaty body to relax her as he gently kissed the back of her neck. His dick rubbed inside of her slowly as he waited for her climax to subside.
To his surprise it seemed that her climax lasted much longer than the average person's did. Xiao Fang assumed it had something to do with his spirit attribute that he could feel was still lingering inside of her.
Xiao Fang didn't realize it before, but feeling the naked woman in his arms now, he could tell that she was actually a very pretty woman. Her proportions were average at best, but something about it attracted him to her.
'Should I take a look?' he thought about taking off his blindfolds.
Her skin was very smooth. Sliding his hands up her body he caressed her B-cup breasts in his hands. Massaging her breasts, he eventually started squeezing them lightly. She moaned quietly from his touch and it almost invoked a reaction out of Xiao Fang.
'It's definitely her moans. It's making me want to keep fucking her,' he thought.
He eventually realized that he was thrusting a bit too fast. So he stopped, and just hugged her like that till her climax fully passed.
His slippery dick rested between her thighs, his hand cupped her breast, and his body pressed against her back, making her feel his warmth. Her heavy breaths eventually settled, but she wished she could stay in his arms forever.
Eventually, she felt the warmth of the rising sun on her face, and it reminded her of the tour she still had to do.
She groaned not wanting to get up.
She eventually turned to face Xiao Fang then planted her hands on his face before giving him a kiss on the lips. She only meant for the kiss to be brief, but feeling his hands on her ass, and his lips gentle embrace made her want to keep kissing him for longer. Her body was heating up again and she was getting lost in his touch.
She eventually pulled away then spoke shyly.
"Long Wang, my name is Su Lingxi. Will you remember me?"
Even though he was blindfolded she was still too shy to look up at him. Everything about her changed when she was being touched by him. Her confidence and maturity disappeared when she was being touched by him like this.
Stroking her body one last time, he rested his hands on her hips then spoke.
"Su Lingxi, I will definitely remember you."
Despite his words, what she knew he meant was 'I will definitely like to fuck you again.'
Thinking about that made her smile brightly.
"Good, now let's go. We are already late for the tour."
She was going to help him dress up, but then discovered that he was perfectly capable of doing it on his own.
"You..."
Xiao Fang realized that he was caught, but didn't make a big deal about it.
"Do you regret it?" he asked.
She had a bit of a frown as she walked up to his face. Suddenly she gave him a quick kiss then smiled.
"Of course not. Let's go," she said before taking his hand and walking out of the house.
"Don't you think it will be a bit odd if we arrive together? How about we split up and meet there," Xiao Fang suggested.
The elder paused then let go of Xiao Fang's hand.
"You're right. I'll leave first. I'm pretty fast on my feet so you don't have to worry about slowing down," With that said, the elder speeded off.
Seeing her leave, Xiao Fang then turned to face a different direction.
"You're a nosey girl, you know that?" Xiao Fang said.
Suddenly, someone wearing the Black Phoenix Inner Class robes silently stepped out of the shadows. It wasn't the first time Xiao Fang had caught her hiding. So she didn't waste any time revealing herself.
A leg suddenly stepped out of the house's shadow. She was completely dressed in black and her robes stuck tightly to her upper body while her lower half had nothing on but some black leggings. He could sense the girl's body, but like before, her footsteps made no sound. It was a dangerous technique to have against Xiao Fang, that's why he was so interested in her the first time they met. (Chapter 17: Don't Provoke That Man)
"I was wondering when I was going to see you again," Xiao Fang greeted her.
"Likewise. You can imagine the shock I was in when I saw you on stage yesterday."
"So, why did you come? Last time I checked, you wanted to attack me. I wouldn't say our relationship is very close."
He assumed she came to blackmail him since she knew he was Da Long, but truthfully Xiao Fang didn't care much about that.
"I remember, but back then you weren't wearing your blindfold. Perhaps if you were I wouldn't have figured it out," she said.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"You aren't an ordinary cultivator, Da Long. Or is that even your real name."
Before, Xiao Fang was curious about her, but now she was making him nervous.
"Hey, whatever it is, can it wait? I'm a bit late for the tour, so I need to get going."
"Are you sure, you haven't even heard what I had to say."
"Whatever it is, it can wait till I get back."
Just as Xiao Fang turned to leave, the girl spoke again.
"I know what you are, your eyes were a dead giveaway, you know."
Xiao Fang froze.
Something about the way she said those words gave him a slight chill.
Suddenly, Xiao Fang's aura began to change. It was a subtle change, but it was a change nonetheless.
The first time Xiao Fang ran into her, she wanted to attack him, but stopped herself when she noticed the colour of his eyes. At the time, he didn't think she knew anything and was just enchanted by his eyes like the other girls, but as a warning he told her not to say anything to anyone in case she did figure something out. Hearing her talk now, it seemed that she really did figure something out. Only, he hoped it wasn't what he thought it was.
Xiao Fang didn't want to say anything unnecessary since it could've been a bluff or something completely different, so he tried to play it off as if he didn't really know what she was going to say.
"Oh? Then tell me, what do you think I am?" Xiao Fang asked.
Despite his innocent words, the deadly aura he emitted gave her a different message.
Still, to her, Xiao Fang was only a second-year disciple, so there wasn't anything to be afraid of.
A smirk appeared on her face as began to speak her next few words.
"You're a Dual Cu-"

[ Reaper's Grasp ]
Before the mysterious girl could even finish saying the two words, Xiao Fang already had his hand clenched around her neck.
"Who else knows," he asked calmly.
Struggling to speak he slightly loosened his hold.
"If you kill me, everyone will know."
Xiao Fang was calm on the outside, but he was panicking within. If people knew he was a dual cultivator, then would he need to leave the sect and go into hiding? Could he even go back to the Divine Sword sect after this? No, he needed to settle things here.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fang asked.
The worry on the girl's face lessened when she heard his question.
"My name is Yao Yin. I am the current head of the Inner court Disciplinary Department."
"How did you know what method I cultivated?"
"From what I know, people that cultivate that method will have their eyes glow violet during intercourse, but you are special. Your eyes are always violet, so I wasn't sure. Clearly, I was right about you."
Xiao Fang choked her a bit tighter.
"My father, I learned about them from my father. He's a bounty hunter," she confessed.
It was taking everything Xiao Fang had not to kill the girl he was holding, but something didn't make sense.
'Why would she come to me and not tell her father?' Xiao Fang wondered.
Xiao Fang let go of the girl.
The girl coughed a few times. The last time she saw him, his body cultivation wasn't nearly this strong. That fact only confirmed to her that a taboo cultivation method was no joke, making her eyes shine greedily. The Dual Cultivation method wasn't taboo for being immoral, it was taboo because of its frightening growth potential, or so she believed.
"Speak, what do you want," Xiao Fang said.
Yao Yin stood back up and faced Xiao Fang with confidence in her eyes.
"I want you to make me a Dual Cultivator."
"I refuse," Xiao Fang instantly replied.
"What? Why not?"
"If you get caught there's a chance they will find me through you. Since your father is a bounty hunter the chance of something like that happening is even higher. Unless, of course, he doesn't want to rip out the throat of the person who turned his precious daughter into a criminal," Xiao Fang explained his reasoning.
"You don't have to worry about that. There are methods bounty hunters use to find people like you, but there are ways to avoid it as well. If you can teach me the method, I'll even give you this."
In her hands, she held what looked like a torn page from a book. Xiao Fang was still wearing his blindfolds so he couldn't see what was written on it. Yao Yin already knew Xiao Fang's identity so there was no point in hiding it. After taking his blindfold's off, he immediately noticed that she was looking away from his eyes. Instead, she seemed to be looking just over them.
'Hm, she really does know about the Dual Cultivation method,' Xiao Fang thought.
Looking down at the paper in her hands, it read:
Technique name: Spirit Perception
Xiao Fang instantly recognized the name of the technique. It was the same technique Yu An used in his training growing up. It was the reason he feared his mother's training more than his father's.
"How... how did you get this?"
"My father is a bounty hunter, remember? He always keeps a trophy after he completes a mission."
Xiao Fang knew what she meant by 'completes a mission'. Likely he got it after hunting down another dual cultivator. Yao Yin regretted her choice of words.
"I need some time to think about it."
Yao Yin was a bit worried he might say that.
"I can't keep this technique for long. If you want to practice this cultivation technique, you have to do it soon. The longer I have it the higher chance my father will realize it's gone."
Xiao Fang hated making quick decisions like this. Since Xiao Kong destroyed all of the copies of the Dual Cultivation method, the only thing he could rely on was the incomplete method his mother made for him. The only problem with that was that he didn't have any method specific techniques for it, so this was the second time he was encountering one, and it was arguably the most important technique of them all.
Besides the cultivation technique that he got from Chun Hua, all his Dual Cultivation techniques were rather taught to him by his mother, or created himself.
Every Cultivation method had at least one technique that grew with the user.
The Divine Sword method had the [ Dragon Dance ] technique.
The Death Reaper method had the [ Reaper's Grasp ] technique.
The Illusory Body method had the [ Illusory Clone ] technique.
The Dual Cultivation method, had the [ Spirit Perception ] technique.
At this moment, Yao Yin was offering to give him the [ Spirit Perception ] technique. Whatever he had to do, he definitely needed to get his hands on it.
"Alright, I'll do it, but I have conditions of my own. We can talk about it tonight at my place. Bring the technique with you," Xiao Fang said.
Yao Yin was overjoyed. Despite her excitement, she remained relatively calm on the outside. She had her own reasons for wanting to become a dual cultivator, this was her first step in walking the path she wanted to take.
"Mn, I'll meet you here tonight," she finally smiled at him.
In the next moment, they both disappeared, as they were heading in different directions.
When Xiao Fang arrived at the arranged meeting spot for the tour, he saw only a few girls there, but they were impatiently waiting to get on with the tour.
"Long Wang, you finally arrived. Alright girls, please follow me. The tour will now begin."
"What?! We were waiting for him all this time?" The girls complained.
They all looked at Xiao Fang with a menacing gaze. It was only now that they realized why they had to wait so long.
'So much for first impressions,' Xiao Fang thought.

Since Xiao Fang was late for the tour, Su Lingxi made everyone wait for him. The girls were furious. It seemed as though they were ready to attack him at any moment.
"Who does he think he is, making us wait for him."
"I don't know, but if the elder wasn't here, I would've made him regret it."
"You know... he actually looks kind of cute."
"Who, him?? Whose side are you on?"
While Xiao Fang was at the back of the group, he heard everything the girls said about him, but he paid no attention to it because he was far more interested in their bodies than their words.
Xiao Fang's scouting process had begun. It was important to know what kind of girls he'd be dealing with, so this tour was a good chance for him to see a lot of them.
Although Su Lingxi had earlier satisfied his urges, it was only temporary. Only 20 minutes had passed since then, but he was already as horny as a beast and was looking for more prey. Of course, the 12 or so girls on the tour with him were the first people he was considering.
While Su Lingxi walked around the sect, the other girls slowly forgot about Xiao Fang and started focusing more on the tour.
They visited various facilities only accessible to the Phoenix-Class disciples, but there was one place in particular that the disciples here were most excited to see. The Phoenix-Class hot bathhouse.
Since only the Phoenix-Class disciples had access to it, it was far less crowded then the other hot bathhouses. However, the reason the girls were excited to see it was because of the rumors circling around it. It was said that the natural qi contained in this hot bathhouse was so great it could put anyone into a meditative state just by walking into it.
Many of the girls were skeptical of the rumors, but Su Lingxi knew them to be somewhat true. It was an exaggeration to say that it could forcefully put people into a meditative state, because there were always so many people in the bathhouse at the same time. So, although the qi it contained was great, the effects of it was spread thin to all of the disciples.
"Elder can we go in? I always wanted to know what it was like there," one disciple asked.
"Of course, that is part of the tour after all," Su Lingxi responded with a light smile.
Hearing her words, the girls suddenly became excited. Xiao Fang never heard the rumors, so he didn't understand what they were so excited about. To him it was just an ordinary hot bath.
The disciples all followed Su Lingxi inside, but then someone screamed at the back of the group.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?!"
Su LingXi looked back and saw that one of the disciples were blocking Xiao Fang's path.
"What's the matter?" Su Lingxi asked.
"Elder, we can't let him in. This is a girl's only bathhouse," one girl replied.
Since there had never been a male Phoenix-Class disciple before, this sort of thing was never an issue. Su Lingxi was stuck as to what she should do.
Bai Fan and Zhao Pan had no complaints since Xiao Fang had already done more than see them naked before. In fact, they were hoping for an opportunity like this to show him their bodies again. Even if they were being shameless, it was how they truly felt.
Xiao Fang could tell that Su Lingxi was in a bit of a sticky situation, so he eventually spoke,
"I am blind, so what's there to be worry about."
"I don't care if you're blind, stupid, and deaf. There's no way I'm letting you take a step into this bathhouse."
"Yeah, piss off you pervert!" another girl said.
Finally, Su Lingxi interjected.
"Ladies, please calm down. The bathhouse is split into two sides, so he can use one side while we use the other."
The girls were angry, but also a bit confused. Didn't the elders in this sect hate men just as much as they did? So why would she be treating him so fairly? Not only did she make them wait for him, but now she was also letting him enter the girl's bathhouse too. Despite how they felt, they couldn't go against their elder's words, so they finally let Xiao Fang through.
Su Lingxi led the group inside but then stopped when she arrived at the split paths.
"Elder, we'll be going in first," the girls said as they all started to walk towards the right entrance.
When they were all gone, Su Lingxi told Xiao Fang to wait here so that she could inform the girls on the other side to come out.
One by one, Xiao Fang watched as the beautiful girls walked passed him with nothing on their sexy wet bodies but a simple towel. He could sense the droplets sliding down their necks and chest, straight down into their cleavage.
All of them were goddess-level beauties that could make any man beg on their knees to marry them, but those same girls were walking past him almost completely nude.
Xiao Fang usually had fairly good control of his urges, but he could feel the blood rushing to his little brother with each beautiful girl that walked by.
Eventually, one girl did something that made his beast try to break out of its cage. Her name was Shao Yu. When she saw that Xiao Fang was blindfolded, she flashed her big D-cup titties at him, purely as a joke. Her 3 friends, Song Wen, Pan Xiu, and Yan Mei laughed when they saw what she was doing. They then proceeded to do the exact same thing as they walked past him.
Shao Yu definitely had the biggest breasts and a bit of curves to her as well. She was the most confident and mature looking girl from the bunch, but she didn't look a day over 30.
Xiao Fang was already showing a strong interest in Shao Yu, but the other girls also had their merits.
Song Wen resembled Li Xiang in terms of competitiveness, but she was a bit taller than the average girl and more mischievous than friendly.
Pan Xiu was standing around 160cm which was around the average height for girls. Her breast were the smallest out of the 4, and her hair wasn't very long. She was the type of girl that wouldn't say much, but he could tell from the way she flashed her naked body at him that she wasn't the shy type either, she was just very observing.
Lastly, was Yan Mei. Her proportions were perfect like Bai Fan's, but her face was so beautiful it could almost be compared to Li Lian. Xiao Fang had encountered many girls in these past 2 years, but Yan Mei was definitely one of the most perfect girls he had ever seen.
Xiao Fang gulped as her towel slowly slid down her body.
'This really is paradise,' Xiao Fang thought.

'This really is Paradise.'
Yan Mei's opened up her robes exposing to him her perfect tits and body. If there was ever a time that Xiao Fang wanted to take his blindfold off, it was now.
"Hey, blind man, do you know what these are?" Yan Mei mocked him as she took his hands and planted it on her naked boob.
Her perfect C-Cup breast felt so good in his hand, but it felt even better when he lightly squeezed it. He could feel her perfectly shaped squishy mound and her shy nipple lightly poking his palm.
Shao Yu, Song Wen, and Pan Xiu were surprised by how daring she was, but they laughed because they were sure that Xiao Fang was a virgin.
Suddenly, Yan Mei stopped laughing. He had triggered a pressure point and it was sending pleasurable tingles throughout her breast.
"Mym~"
She quicckly pulled away from his hand. The feeling she got from it was so strong it nearly brought her down to her knees. In the next moment, Xiao Fang spoke.
"Since you girls have given me a good treat, it's only right that I do the same."
Suddenly, Xiao Fang dropped his pants, then the girls screamed. The first 3 girls that flashed him first didn't even look as they quickly ran away. However, Yan Mei, who was still standing in front of him, looked down at his throbbing cock and was amazed.
Xiao Fang took her feminine hand and let her wrap her delicate fingers around his shaft. As her soft hand curiously stroked his meat, it made it get even harder. Her eyes widened when she saw how big it was getting. She then threw her towel over her shoulder then used her second hand as well. She was now curiously stroking his long dick with both hands.
"Is it the first time you're seeing one?" Xiao Fang asked.
The girl nodded, "I didn't think it would be this big." She said as she started to stroke it a bit faster.
"D-Does it feel good?" She asked him embarrassingly.
"Mn," Xiao Fang said as he gently raised her chin. "That feels good." He then softly kissed her on the lips and she closed her eyes. This was the first time she was kissing someone, so she didn't know how to do it. The kiss was brief, but it still felt special to her.
"My name is Long Wang, what's yours?"
"My name is-"
Suddenly, before she could say her name, Shao Yu shouted for her to get away from Xiao Fang.
"Yan Mei, quickly get away from that pervert!" Her friends called out to her.
Yan Mei was a bit reluctant to let go of his dick, but Xiao Fang eventually took her hand off of it.
"Your friends are waiting for you. I'll see you in class, Yan Mei," Xiao Fang spoke in a soft but seductively masculine tone.
Yan Mei nodded before running back to her friends, but not before letting her towel drop to the floor, leaving her body completely naked for him to see.
Xiao Fang was going to stop her, but it seemed that she had dropped her towel on purpose.
'Such a beautiful naked girl... This is definitely paradise,' he thought.
When Yan Mei saw her friends, they immediately tried to see if she was okay.
"Did that pervert take your towel?" Pan Xiu asked worriedly.
"No, he didn't take it. I dropped it by accident," Yan Mei replied.
"Ugh! Why do they keep accepting boys into the sect. I can't believe we have a pervert in our class now," Song Wen complained.
"If he's a pervert then what are the 3 of you? Didn't you flash your naked bodies at him first?" Yan Mei argued.
"Hey, we're your friends. Why are you siding with that boy," Song Wen frowned.
"I think Yan Mei got seduced by him. Hahaha, what a virgin," Shao Yu teased.
"You're an even bigger virgin than me. At least I let him touch my body."
"Anyone could do that," Shao Yu scoffed.
"Oh yeah? Go do it then."
"Ah that..." Shao Yu didn't know how to reply.
"You can eat what you want to eat, but you can't say what you want to say. Since you think anyone can do it, prove it," Yan Mei said.
Shao Yu looked at Song Wen and Pan Xiu, but they both looked away. It was clear that they just wanted to see Shao Yu embarrass herself for their own entertainment.
"Fine. I'll show you just how easy it is."
Meanwhile, Xiao Fang's ears were strong enough to sense everyone on the other side of the bathhouse. He could see them bare chested and playing and chatting in the water. Of course, that meant he could also hear the conversation the girls that flashed him earlier were having.
Xiao Fang had been listening to their conversations the whole time, so he was surprised. It seemed that the culture in the inner court was completely different than what he was used to.
'Was being a "virgin" really an insult here?' Xiao Fang thought.
Shao Yu and her friends went back into the hallway where Xiao Fang was standing. There were still girls exiting from that side of the bathhouse, so she waited for a few more seconds till she felt it was safe.
Eventually, Shao Yu quickly approached Xiao Fang then opened up her towel.
"Go on then, touch them," she said while looking away embarrassingly.
Xiao Fang was still a bit surprised by what was happening, but he would never turn down feeling nice big breast like hers.
Xiao Fang reached up and cupped her breasts, but unlike with Yan Mei, he didn't trigger her pleasure pressure points.
Since he was in the [ Dual Cultivation ] Spirit Core realm, any part of his body, while covered in dual cultivation qi, would act like an aphrodisiac when it came in contact with a women's skin.
[ Dual Cultivation ] realm Benefits:
Foundation realm: Improved physical appearance
Refinement realm: Aphrodisiac cum
Spirit Core realm: Aphrodisiac Touch
Suddenly, the palm of Xiao Fang's hands were coated in dual cultivation qi. Her breasts tingled pleasurably as he caressed her two gelatinous tits. Suddenly, she started to get an intense feeling out of it.
"Mhm~" she moaned lightly from the way he was touching them.
Her friends watched from around the corner as Xiao Fang ravaged her tits. Their cheeks turned red as if they were watching something that should only be done in private.
Suddenly, Xiao Fang turned Shao Yu around and pulled her in. With her back pressed up against his chest, he massaged her breasts more intensely in the position. Shao Yu wasn't a weak girl and quite tall compared to the other girls, but she felt so small in his arms. He was holding her so tightly to his body as he was massaging her tits that she felt like she couldn't even stand on her own. Her pink areolas turned red as he rubbed, pinched, and pulled on her erect nipples pleasurably.
"Nnn~ that feels good," she moaned lightly as she reached back to caress his face.
Suddenly, she felt her body ignite with lust when she felt his indecency bulging through his robes and thrusting between her ass crack. This position was too hot for her, she could only imagine how good it would feel to be fucked by a man like him. She let out steamy breaths as he ravaged her body. The longer he did it, the wetter she got.
She subtly thrusted her waist, making her fat naked ass squish tightly against his thrusting crotch. Feeling that she was getting into the grove, Xiao Fang wanted to take it to the next level. He wanted to pin her against the wall, take his dick out, spread her labia, and thrust his long hard dick deep into her tight virgin pussy. He wanted to make her screamed in pleasure while he was squeezing her plump ass and cumming in her tight squirting pussy. He wanted to make her submit to his Naked Sword. However, he knew this was no place for a dual cultivation session, so he didn't do any of that.
Her friends couldn't believe what they were seeing. Just from the way Shao Yu was breathing they could tell how turned on she was getting from it. She looked like she had completely given herself up to him to do whatever he wanted with her, but then their eyes widened in disbelief from what Xiao Fang was doing next. His hand was sliding down her slippery stomach and approaching her pubic region. Shao Yu's pushed her butt harder into his waist as his hand slid down her stomach. She knew what he wanted to touch, but for the first time she was feeling shy and a little hesitant. Finally, he could feel her thick pussy lips.
"Eee!" the girls screamed quietly from around the corner. They didn't think it would escalate this far.
"Look where he's touching her. Can you believe it?" Song Wu whispered with an excited look on her face.
"She totally loves it too. She isn't even stopping him," Pan Xiu replied before licking her lips.
She was letting Xiao Fang finger her pussy in a public, and her friends could see that she was getting wet from it too.
"I can tell you're a virgin. Maybe I can help you with that," Xiao Fang whispered seductively into her ear, and it sent a warm tingling sensation throughout her body.
Feeling how wet she was, he knew that she was ripe for fucking, but Xiao Fang was clear headed enough not to give her what she wanted.
He kissed her neck erotically as he squeezed her fat breast tightly. He rubbed circles around her clit, making her pussy drip from the stimulation. Xiao Fang knew what she liked and was giving her the time of her life. She loved being held and touched like this, she felt like she was going to cum any second now.
Shao Yu turned her head wanting to give him a kiss. Her friends were going crazy when they saw this, but Yan Mei frowned. He could feel her sexy breath tickling his lips as she moved closer, but just before it could happen, Xiao Fang stopped her. He paused for a moment to tell her something, then quickly wrapped the towel around her body. Before they knew it, Xiao Fang and Shao Yu were now standing back to back.
"What's going on?" Song Wen said.
In the next moment, they watched as Su Lingxi walked out of the men's side of the bathhouse.
"Alright, Long Wang, it's all clear."
"Thank you, Elder," Xiao Fang replied.
He then extended a hand to her before saying,
"I'd hate to be an inconvenience to you, but would you please guide me to the bath."
Looking down at his extended hand, she also noticed the throbbing erect penis beneath it. Su Lingxi smiled.
"It wouldn't be an inconvenience at all."
She then took his hand then walked him in.
When Xiao Fang and Su Lingxi were gone, Shao Yu quickly picked up Yan Mei's towel then ran back to her friends.
"Wow, you actually did it," Pan Xiu said.
"What was it like?" Song Wen asked.
"What did he whisper to you?" Yan Mei asked with a serious expression on her face.
"Look how wet you are. You were totally going to kiss him, right? right?" Song Wen said excitedly.
Her friends were so curious even though they saw the whole thing.
"We really misjudged him," Shao Yu finally said.
Suddenly, Yan Mei put her foot down.
"You all switched sides because of me. So I call dibs on him first."
"Ya, but we took it a step further. So I should get to sleep with him first," Shao Yu argued.
"What the hell, you both already got to try him, if someone should get to do it, I should be first," Song Wen complained.
"W-Wait, what about me? I didn't get to try him too," Pan Xiu said embarrassingly.
Neither of them seemed to agree on who would get to lose their virginity first. The question eventually came up whether they should all lose it together.

On the men's side of the Phoenix-class bathhouse, there were pieces of clothes littered on the ground. It wasn't just one set of clothes, nor were they of the same sex, but it was clear that it was leading to the water.
Earlier, when Xiao Fang stepped into the hot bath, he immediately felt the effects of the abundant natural qi in the bath. The rumors were true, it made him want to start cultivating, but the kind of cultivating he was thinking of didn't involve meditation.
Behind a large rock at the center of the bath, light moans could be heard coming from an extremely horny middle-aged woman. Her name was Su Lingxi, and the man that had his face buried between her bountiful tits was none other than Xiao Fang.
The water was crystal clear and sparkling from the sun. Half their bodies were submerged under water, but it didn't hide what they were doing.
"Hah~ hah~ ahha~" she moaned.
"Lingxi, it's so hot. I want to cum inside you."
"Hah~ don't stop. Cum inside me. Ahh~ cum inside me~"
She tried to be quiet, but she felt too good from Xiao Fang's long girthy dick rubbing deep inside of her tight hole. Her legs wrapped around his waist, while his hands were clenching her ass. He kept squeezing them every time he thrusted.
Feeling the way he squeezed and fucked her made her feel like she was losing her mind, but she didn't want it to end.
"Hah~ aha~ right there~ right there~"
"Yes~ yes~ yes~"
"Ahhhaa~ I'm going to cum~ make me cum on your big fat cock, Long Wang."
Xiao Fang thrusted vigorously into her tight pussy, making her want to scream with every thrust. She wasn't some goddess level beauty, but Xiao Fang was really getting weak from how good her pussy was making him feel
'Fuck!'
He couldn't control his waist. Her hot pussy was so tight it was gripping his penis as he rubbed it quickly inside of her. It felt so good he felt like he was going to cum.
He knew she didn't want the other girls to hear her moans, so he didn't use any dual cultivation techniques, but he didn't think he could last for long.
Her pussy and legs squeezed every time his dick pressed against her womb. it was as if she wanted him to push through it.
Xiao Fang gave her a kiss then started picking up the pace. His hands were on her plump ass, her smooth skin rubbed against his body, her tight pussy stroked his penis, and now her sexy tongue was dancing inside of his mouth. She was obsessed with him, and he couldn't get enough of her.
"Mymm~ mymm~ myhmm~"
He kissed her lewd lips and she stuck her slimy tongue in his mouth as her eyes rolled back. She thought with her mouth closed she would be quieter, but she was feeling even hornier and her moans were getting louder.
'Someone's going to hear us!' She panicked, but the thought of it was making her hornier.
"Ahhhhh!~'"
She quickly stopped kissing him and covered her mouth. Knowing what she was worried about, Xiao Fang helped her out and started choking her.
[ Naked Sword Thrusting Heaven ]
Her legs and pussy squeezed as her lower body convulsed.
'Agh! Her womb is gripping around my dick. Fuck, this feels too good!' Xiao Fang thought.
The head of his penis was partially in her womb while her pussy was strangling his throbbing meat.
Xiao Fang couldn't hold it in. He slightly pulled away then thrusted one more time, this time it was even deeper than before. His mushroom had completely penetrated her womb.
[ 1st Thrust ]
"Nhhhhhnn~!"
'Such a sexy moan,' he thought as he squeezed her fat ass cheeks.
Her legs shook as her back arched. She was at her limit. Xiao Fang finally shot his cum directly into her womb. Her eyes widened when she felt his thick love-milk. Even though she felt it before, it was still an incredible experience.
"Nnnh~ nhhh~ nnnm~"
Their bodies pressed tightly together as they both jerked from their climax. With each jerk, Xiao Fang released another load of cum into her tight hot pussy.
"Long Wang~ that was better than the first time."
Feeling all the cum inside her, she kissed Xiao Fang lovingly. She didn't realize what she was doing, she did it in the heat of the moment. However, feeling his gentle embrace, she didn't want to stop kissing him.
She no longer saw him as a student. Xiao Fang became her lover.
Meanwhile on the other side:
"Did you girls hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"I think I heard it coming from the other side."
"What did it sound like?"
"I don't know. It kind of sounded like humming."
Suddenly another girl interjected, saying, "Hey, everybody knows the new guy is over there. If you want to go take a sneak peak at him bathing, you don't have to make excuses, we all know you're a pervert."
"Are you trying to start a fight with me? Do you think I won't shove shit down your throat?"
"Ha, the mouth on this one. Didn't you just make it out of the Tiger class? I've been in the Phoenix class for over 5 years, maybe I need to put you in your place."
"Put me in my place!?" Suddenly the girl's qi started to bubble out of her making the qi in the pool fluctuate.
"Come and put me in my place then, you stupid bitch!"
"You, first years, are all the same. Let me show you the disparity between classes, and how to treat your seniors," she said as her aura began to change as well.
In the next moment the two girls began executing their strongest techniques against each other, and it attracted the gaze of all of the other girls.
Spirit qi could be heard exploding like fireworks. It seemed like a war had just begun.

Xiao Fang wasn't familiar with either of the girls that were fighting on the other side, but it seemed that no one heard Su Lingxi's moans.
Su Lingxi, slowly squeezed him less and less till only her nipples were softly squishing on his body.
Without expecting it she suddenly gave Xiao Fang another kiss. This time her kiss and touch felt even more gentle and passionate than before. Even though he was interested in the fight on the other side, how could he say no to the beautiful naked woman in his arms.
"The girls are fighting on the other side," he said in case she didn't know.
"Don't worry, it happens every year," she replied before kissing him again.
She guided his hand up to her neck and his other hand down to her ass. It seemed she enjoyed being choked during her climax.
She reached down with her two lovely hands then started giving him a handjob. Then eventually, she began sliding his tip against her pussy slit.
"The girls are distracted, should we do it again?" She smiled before she kissed him again.
"You know how much I enjoy feeling inside of you," he said as he turned her around and pushed his dick against her closed butthole.
"Mmn~ I've never done that before," she complained cutely as she lightly bit on her finger.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
Xiao Fang slowly pushed the tip of his penis into her closed second hole, then felt her pussy squeezing his fingers.
"Mymm~" she moaned.
'So tight,' he thought.
However, before he explored more of this part of her, they suddenly heard a loud explosion.
"What the hell are those girls doing over there!?" Su Lingxi complained.
She quickly got off of Xiao Fang then was planning to rush over there, but then, Xiao Fang pulled her back in and gave her one last kiss.
She didn't resist it. The longer they kissed the less she wanted to leave.
He hugged her from behind as his hands rubbed her pussy and grabbed her breast. His dick slowly pushed into her closed asshole again. He kept pushing it deeper and deeper till he was completely inside of her. However, by the time he did that, his hand had already rubbed her to the brink of another climax.
"Nnhhnnn!~~"
Xiao Fang started to thrust his cock deep in her tight hot ass, but suddenly she started orgasming.
Her pussy squeezed tightly around his fingers and her ass clenched around his cock. Feeling her climaxing with his dick deep in her ass was a completely different experience, he couldn't make himself stop thrusting in her tight hole. Finally, he pushed it in as deep as he could, grabbed her two gelatinous tits, then started cumming. Feeling him cum made her climax even stronger.
"Ahhhhh~~ ahhhh~ nhnn~"
Their bodies squeezed together as they came, and they kissed passionately as it happened.
When Xiao Fang pulled out, she finally looked up at him with a yearning look in her eye. Although his fingers had been rubbing her pussy skillfully, what really made her cum was the naughty feeling of being fucked in her tighter hole. She wanted more, she wanted him to keep thrusting deep in her asshole, she wanted to cum the exact same way she climaxed now. However, Xiao Fang had already pulled out.
"You should go," he said. "We can continue this another time."
She looked up at him with her beautiful eyes, her hands now resting gently on his chest. She wanted to stay and keep having sex with him, she didn't want to leave him. However, she still had a responsibility to the sect.
"You promise?" She asked.
Xiao Fang put a hand on her cheek as he gave her another kiss.
"Mn, I promise."
His words made her feel better, so she finally forced herself to go.
Listening to the other side. It seemed that the girls were evenly matched. Actually, the new Phoenix class disciple seemed to be stronger, but the older disciple was more skillful with her techniques.
Although it was entertaining to watch, it was nothing special compared to the matches he's seen in the annual royal court tournaments when he was younger. There, he witnessed a wide array of illusory techniques and skills from the top inner court (Dragon-class) and Core Court disciples in action.
Since the fight would soon end, he quickly lost interest.
After Su Lingxi left, Xiao Fang used the technique he learned from Rong Shi and began to sit on top of the hot bath. Since Xiao Fang had nothing else to do, he began to think about his new [ Illusory Body ] technique that the mysterious elder had given him; [ Solid Clone ].
The technique was much harder than anything else he had, but he knew he'd have to give it a try eventually.
The qi in Xiao Fang's dantian quickly changed into illusory qi. He then followed the practice method step by step, but he was getting nowhere with it. His brows were knitted as he tried to concentrate, but there was still no luck.
Xiao Fang sighed.
The problem didn't lie with the technique itself, the problem was with his own qi. He didn't know how he was supposed to make his weightless spirit qi condense into something so solid.
Suddenly, he began to think about his [ Divine Sword ] method, then an idea came to mind. When he used his [ No Sword Style , he needed to condense his Sword qi into something physical. Since Xiao Fang was proficient in condensing his Sword qi for the [ No Sword Style , he took the same approach in condensing his Illusory qi for the [ Solid Clone ] technique.
Xiao Fang tried it again and again. Each time making his Illusory qi heavier until he could make enough of it for the technique. Although it was similar, condensing Body Cultivation qi was not exactly the same as condensing Spirit Cultivation qi. Xiao Fang wasn't too upset by this, he was just happy that he could make progress with the technique so soon.
Xiao Fang made an Illusory Clone of himself, but tried to use as much of the condensed qi as he could. The clone came out looking a bit fuzzy and distorted, but when Xiao Fang and the clone touched fingers, a smile appeared on Xiao Fang's face. He could feel the clone's finger, and it wasn't breaking apart.
'It seems it won't be as hard as I thought.'

After spending more than an hour in the hot springs, Su Lingxi eventually told the girls to get out so that she could continue the tour. Xiao Fang also got out when he heard this, but he didn't stop practicing the [ Solid Body ] technique.
In the women's change room, everyone could see Zhao Pan's athletic body. She wasn't too muscular but fit enough to make the other girl jealous. There were a few girls that began to whisper about her, but she paid no attention to them. Her foster mother, Yao Wu, had told her about the hardships she might face in the inner court, so she had already mentally prepared herself for the bullying she was going to experience.
Suddenly, Bai Fan walked into the change room then saw Zhao Pan. Bai Fan took one drying cloth from the rack then approached Zhao Pan casually.
"Did you enjoy the spring water?" Bai Fan asked.
Suddenly she heard giggling behind her, it seemed that the girls were laughing about something someone said about Zhao Pan. Bai Fan turned to look at them with a frown.
"Ignore them," Zhao Pan said nonchalantly.
Despite how indifferent Bai Fan usually was, something about the situation annoyed her a bit.
"Zhao Pan, I wanted to ask you about the Inner Court Exam."
"Sure, what do you want to know?"
"During the first test of the inner court exam, I was surrounded by a swarm of insect-type beasts. Luckily, someone helped me escape just in time. I wanted to know if that person was you."
Zhao Pan shook her head saying, "It wasn't me, but if you tell me what happened I might be able to help you."
Bai Fan thought for a moment then began to explain everything that happened in the Ancestral Training Grounds.
"...Interesting."
"I know, it sounds crazy, but it's the truth. If you can help me find her, I'll even let you in on a little secret."
"Hm? What kind of secret?"
Bai Fan leaned in and whispered in Zhao Pan's ear, "I know where Da Long is."
"Hoho, you think I don't know where he is? Last night, you stood outside of his door, right? I can only imagine what you planned to do with him that late at night."
Bai Fan's face suddenly became red.
"Don't worry about repaying me, if I find this mystery girl I'll let you know," Zhao Pan said as she started to walk out of the change room.
"Ah, wait. It's not what you think," Bai Fan said as she quickly followed her out.
Once they were out, they both saw Xiao Fang idly sitting on a rock that was about a meter tall. His blindfold was still wrapped around his face, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his wet jet-black hair was combed back and let down his shoulders. He was still practicing his [ Solid Clone ] technique, but the girls were too distracted by his looks to care about what he was practicing.
Even though he was blindfolded, he was still so handsome that the girls found it difficult to stay mad at him. Actually, many of the girls were already having naughty thoughts and gossiping about him, but no matter how much they whispered about him he didn't seem to care at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Fang's head turned to face Zhao Pan and Bai Fan as they came out of the bath house. He got off the rock he was sitting on then started walking towards them. They didn't know how to react, they never expected him to suddenly approach them like this.
"It seems the both of you know who I am. Since we will be seeing a lot more of each other, I hope we can treat each other well this year," Xiao Fang said.
Bai Fan blushed, "O-Of course. We are neighbors after all," she whispered the last part embarrassingly, but it was something she had to let him know.
Xiao Fang nodded at Bai Fan then turned his head to face Zhao Pan. She stood there motionless as she tried to think of something to say. Da Long was an idol to men and every girl's dream, but that same person had just approached her.
"Mn... let's treat each other well," Zhao Pan finally replied.
Xiao Fang nodded then went back to practicing his [ Solid Clone ] technique.
Xiao Fang had been listening in on their conversation while they were in the girl's change room, so he knew the girl they were looking for was Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei had a general dislike for humans, so he was surprised to hear that she had saved Bai Fan.
If even Xiao Hei was interested in her, naturally, Xiao Fang was too.
Once all the girls were accounted for, Su Lingxi continued the tour.
They were given a brief history of each of the various facilities in the inner court. The thing that interested Xiao Fang the most were the things she called 'Trial Pods'.
There were trial pods all over the inner court, each reserved only for the people in a certain class, but the scoreboard was linked. It looked interesting, so he wanted to give it a try.
Price per attempt: 100 merit points
*The higher you placed on the scoreboard the more merit points you receive every month.
Xiao Fang also learned about the various Cultivation Rooms in the inner court. Similar to the hot bathhouse, the Cultivation Rooms were full of natural qi, but the effect it had on one's cultivation was amplified since only a few people could be in there at once.
Price per hour: 100 - 1,000 merit points. (Depending on the quality of the qi in the room)
*Price drops per person using the same room.
He learned the locations of the mission hall, the public lecture halls, the private classes, and the various club houses. Finally, at the end of the tour, he learned about the Ancestral Training Grounds.
The Ancestral Training Grounds were separate into 9 levels, the farther down you went, the higher the beast tiers got.
Price per entry: 1,000 - 10,000 merit points depending on floor

However, before going into the Ancestral Training Grounds, you had to buy a special pendant, the same special pendant he used during the exam.
Low-grade pendants = 5,000 merit points.
Medium-grade pendants= 25,000 merit points.
High-grade pendants = 100,000 merit points.
The higher the grade, the higher the quality and capacity.
The more he learned about the inner court, the more he realized just how little he could actually afford with his monthly allowance.
'It seems I'll need to prioritize getting more merit points before anything else,' Xiao Fang thought.

By the time the tour was over, there was only a few hours left in the day. So, Su Lingxi took them over to the main plaza so that they could all get to know each other. However, since Xiao Fang had plans to meet Yao Yin, he knew he couldn't stay for long.
The night life here was as large as a small city. Restaurant and bars wherever they looked, and disciples from all classes were here too.
Su Lingxi took them into a restaurant-bar, but as soon as they walked in they immediate caught the attention of all of the girls inside.
Many of them had never seen so many Phoenix Class disciples gathered in one place before, but their attention wasn't so much on them as it was on Xiao Fang.
"Isn't he the new guy?"
"Yeah, that's him."
"He's taller than he looked on stage."
Su Lingxi picked out a long table for everyone to sit at, then immediately handed out the menus.
Xiao Fang sat down at the end of the table then picked up the menu. He couldn't tell what was on it, but he could guess what it was.
Suddenly, he noticed someone standing next to him. He recognized who she was since she had flashed him earlier in the bathhouse. She was none other than the daring Phoenix Class disciple, Yan Mei.
"Long Wang, you don't mind if I sit next to you, do you?" Yan Mei asked.
Without waiting for his reply, she casually stepped over the long bench then sat down next to him.
"Allow me," she said as she elegantly picked up the jug of alcohol, then poured him a cup.
Even though it all happened so quickly, he wasn't surprised by her actions at all.
Neither Yan Mei nor her friends had approached Xiao Fang during the tour. They each wanted a shot at Xiao Fang, but they didn't want to approach him at the same time. To resolve this issue, they decided to take turns. Since Yan Mei promised to give her next monthly allowance to them, they all agreed to let her go first.
The cost for food and drinks were covered by Su Lingxi, so the girls went wild. Xiao Fang on the other hand felt out of place, there were a bunch of girls talking about girly things. It was completely different to what he was used to in the Divine Sword sect. Luckily, Yan Mei was there to keep him company, and they ended up having a great time together.
She was a cute, friendly, and a soft hearted girl. She didn't seem like the talkative type, but she was really putting in the effort for Xiao Fang. Even if she wasn't as mature or as confident as Xiao Fang liked, she was clever, quick witted, but best of all, she had a beautiful smile.
As the night went on, more girls started to get drunk, but the only thing Xiao Fang could think about was Yao Yin and her father's dual cultivation technique. They agreed to meet at his house tonight, so he was eager to leave the restaurant and get home.
"Long Wang~ You've been drinking as much as I have, but you don't look drunk at all. Tell me the truth, are you a body cultivator?" Yan Mei asked drunkenly.
"Would you think of me differently if I said I was?"
Yan Mei shook her head, "It wouldn't change how I feel about you at all," she replied with a smile.
"Yan Mei, you have such a beautiful smile, you know that?"
Yan Mei chuckled from his words.
"You think I'm beautiful?" She blushed slightly before taking another sip of her drink, "Thank you, but that doesn't mean much coming from a blind man."
"Oh really? Have you never heard the saying: If even a blind man can see it, then it must be true."
"Hahaha. That's a pretty good line, but I still don't believe you."
Xiao Fang thought for a moment then said,
"When trying a new meal, is it impossible for you to know how good it will taste before putting it in your mouth?"
"No, I suppose not. I have a pretty good nose," she replied.
Yan Mei paused as she thought she saw the connection, "Are you saying that I smell beautiful?"
Xiao Fang nearly laughed from her response, "That's not quite it."
In the next moment, Xiao Fang planted his hand directly on top of her tight before sending his dual cultivation qi through it. She immediately felt the tingling sensation coming from his hand and it made her feel good.
"I can feel it. You are very beautiful. I knew it since we first met in the bathhouse," he finally answered her.
Suddenly, she recalled what they did in the bathhouse then her face turned bright red. The way Xiao Fang was discreetly caressing her thigh under the table was starting to make her feel hot too.
"Long Wang, truth is, I've been thinking about you all day. Could we perhaps go somewhere a little more private?"
A few of the girls noticed the way Yan Mei was talking to him.
'Shameless,' the girls thought.
Yan Mei realized that the other girls could hear her, so she leaned in to whisper something in his ear.
"Does my legs feel nice? If you want, I can let you feel more of me," she said in a hesitant by sexy tone.
What she really wanted to say was that she wanted him to pin her down, spread her legs, and ruthlessly fuck her tight virgin pussy. She wanted to feel his masculine hands squeezing her small squishy breasts while he was pulling her hair and pounding her relentlessly from behind. She wanted to scream and cum to his deep and powerful thrusts. She wanted him to make her legs shake involuntarily, but keep thrusting while she was climaxing on his pleasure stick.
The thought of it was already making her pussy wet. She couldn't wait to feel his strong naked meat sliding against her soft and slippery, narrow pink walls.
"Take me home, I can't wait anymore," she said as her thighs were rubbing together and she was looking up at him with her pleading eyes.
Yan Mei was a frail, fairy-like girl, she didn't have sexy thick thighs like Su Lingxi did, but she had her own charm. Xiao Fang could already imagine how good it would feel to bury his long hard dick deep into her tight warm pussy, so he was eager to take her home and make her submit to his Naked Sword.
Xiao Fang nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
Xiao Fang got up first then bowed to Su Lingxi at the other end of the table.
"Thank you for the tour, I'll be heading home first."
"You're leaving already? The night just begun. Stay a little longer," Su Lingxi said.
"I enjoyed the food and drinks, but I really must get going now," he replied.
Suddenly, Yan Mei got up as well.
"I need to go as well. Thank you for the tour, elder. I learned a lot," she said.
It wasn't just Su Lingxi that was thought they were being suspicious, the other girls were also a bit suspicious of them too.
Yan Mei's friends were jealous of her, but Zhao Pan and Bai Fan looked at each other as a single thought crossed their minds.
'It's begun.'

The sun was setting, the air was chilly, but no one could tell night from day from within the Ancestral Training Ground. The beautiful green and yellow orbs of light in the air always kept the caves illuminated.
Despite already doing her own investigation, Elder Yao Wu brought Xun Wei down to the 2nd level to investigate the murders of the 20 male outer court disciples. The reason why she brought Xun Wei down there was to give her some experience in the art of tracking and analyzing a crime scene, but also to make her feel more comfortable around dead bodies. However, when they arrived at the scene, Xun Wei didn't seem disturbed by the gruesome scene at all. What Yao Wu didn't realize was that Xun Wei wasn't just undisturbed by the scene, she was actually looking down at them unsympathetically.
Xun Wei had already guessed that Xiao Fang was responsible for their deaths. Since they were Xiao Fang's enemies, they were naturally her enemies too.
"Xun Wei, what can you tell me about what happened here?" Yao Wu asked.
Xun Wei took a quick glance at the bloody scene in front of her then began to speak.
"The 20 disciples ganged up and attacked another disciple from over there. Assuming the attack worked, they all came out of hiding. When they discovered he was still alive they all started to run."
"Did they miss?" Yao Wu suddenly asked her.
"What?"
"I asked you if the 20 outer court disciples landed their surprise attack on that boy."
Knowing Xiao Fang, Xun Wei was certain that they would never have been able to hit him, but her master, Elder Yao Wu, didn't know that. Xun Wei tried to analyze the scene a bit more, but she couldn't find anything.
'What would Xiao Fang say?' she thought.
Xun Wei suddenly remembered a conversation she once had with Xiao Fang in the Black Paradise sect:
"Xiao Fang, what was it like being blind? Did you hate it?" Xun Wei asked him.
"I was definitely upset about it when I was younger, but I eventually learned to accept it when I realized it was a blessing in disguise."
"How so?"
"Hmm... well, I learned things I never would've learned if I still had my eyes."
Xun Wei found it hard to believe that there was any benefits in losing his eyes. Xiao Fang could understand her confusion so he tried to think of examples.
"Let's see... for one, it taught me the art of deception. People have a bad habit of letting their guard down when their enemy seems weak or defeated."
"So you're blindness made you a coward?" Xun Wei joked.
Xiao Fang laughed, "I suppose that's one way to put it."
Xiao Fang and Xun Wei looked into each other's eyes with happy faces.
"Xun Wei, close your eyes."
Xun Wei did as he said.
"Now tell me what you feel."
"... Is there something I should be feeling?"
"No matter where you go there is always life all around us. Every living thing is giving off qi, you can even find comprehension in the mountains, rivers, and sky."
Xun Wei tried to concentrate, but she couldn't feel anything at all. She finally opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Fang.
"Fang, are you playing a trick on me?" She pouted.
Xiao Fang smiled.
"Don't be impatient. Concentrate," he said before covering her eyes.
Xiao Fang began to emit his ordinary qi through his body before giving her a lesson.
"When qi is released it will stay in the area for a few hours before it disappears."
Suddenly, the qi he was releasing began to change.
"However, when method-specific qi is used, it will remain in the area for more than 24 hours," he explained.
Xiao Fang slowly released less and less of it.
"Can you still feel it?" He asked.
"Yeah. It feels like my Dual Cultivation qi," she replied.
"That's because it is. Don't break that focus. Keep concentrating on it."
Xiao Fang continued to release less of his qi till she couldn't feel it anymore. He then repeated the process over and over again. Like this, she was getting better at detecting the qi around her.
Xiao Fang had trained Xun Wei on how to detect qi for several months. Not just from cultivators, but also from different environments. This was a valuable skill, but it was useless in battle, so no sect wasted any time in teaching it. Xiao Fang had learned this skill unintentionally, and found use in it in various ways.
Xun Wei now stood in front of Yao Wu with her eyes closed as she began to feel her surroundings come to life.
Despite how much guidance Xiao Fang had given her, she was still struggling to feel the lingering qi around her, but that wasn't too surprising since it had been more than 15 hours since the incident occurred.
'I can feel Divine Sword qi. Xiao Fang was definitely here,' Xun Wei thought.
A few seconds later, Xun Wei noticed that the natural qi was much thinner here than it was anywhere else in the Ancestral Training Ground. Finally, she could feel the Illusory qi that was at the center of the crater.
With all the new information she gathered she was able to paint a clearer picture of what happened here.
"They missed," Xun Wei finally spoke. "He knew they were following him, so he lured them here where the natural qi is weaker. Using his [ Illusory Clone ] technique, he tricked them into thinking that he was defeated, so when their guard was down, he quickly killed them off before they could react."
Yao Wu was at a loss for words.
"That's... right," Yao Wu said in disbelief.
She knew that Xun Wei was a genius, but she still couldn't believe what she was hearing. Yao Wu had brought her here to teach her about detecting qi, but it seemed that she could already do it.
"The person you're looking for is likely someone in the Spirit Core realm and he's registered under an elder," Xun Wei concluded.
Since news of the first male Phoenix class disciple began to spread, they both knew who the suspect was, but it was only now that Xun Wei was realizing that he was the mysterious man known as Long Wang.
"Just when I thought I've seen it all, you find more ways to impress me," Yao Wu said.

"Just when I thought I've seen it all, you find more ways to impress me," Yao Wu said.
Xun Wei wasn't just talented, she was also an extremely knowledgeable girl in Yao Wu's eyes. It seemed everything she wanted to teach her she had already known. Despite being her master, there were only a few things besides the [ Illusory Body ] method that she could teach her so far.
As Xun Wei continued to search the area she suddenly felt something strange. It was cold and dark, it felt like someone's bloodlust in the form of qi. The feeling was subtle, but it gave Xun Wei a slight chill when she approached it.
Yao Wu noticed that Xun Wei was acting strange, so she called out to her.
"Xun Wei, did you find something else?" Yao Wu asked.
"Un, I can feel something else here, but I don't know what it is." Xun Wei replied thinking that her master could identify what it was, but Yao Wu couldn't feel a thing.
"It is impossible for anyone to detect or identify qi if they don't cultivate the same method as it. If you can feel something here then that means I was right in assuming that you've been cultivating a different cultivation method," Yao Wu replied with a raised eyebrow.
Xun Wei knew that much, but she was sure that the qi she was feeling now didn't belong to any of the methods she cultivated.
Xun Wei was careful not to reveal her Divine Sword method to Yao Wu, but since she never let Yao Wu watch her cultivate that made her suspect that Xun Wei was hiding something.
To Yao Wu, it just made Xun Wei seem that much more special. She wanted to respect her privacy, but couldn't help feeling curious from time to time.
The qi Xun Wei was sensing at the moment wasn't something she was familiar with. It wasn't the [ Divine Sword ] qi, [ Dual Cultivation ] qi, nor [ Illusory Body ] qi. It was much darker than any of that.
What Xun Wei didn't know was that since she dual cultivated with Xiao Fang, her body became sensitive to the [ Death Reaper ] qi as well. It didn't mean she could practice the same techniques, it just meant she could feel if someone near her was a Death Reaper cultivator or not.
"If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask," Yao Wu said. "Either way, we now have our suspect."
"Master, since he's now an inner court disciple, wouldn't all his punishments be dropped?"
"Yes, but he's still far from innocent."
"But they attacked him first," Xun Wei complained.
"Oh? Didn't you say he lured them here? They might've attacked him first, but their deaths were already planned by him. Do you think an innocent person could kill so many people without any hesitation? He certainly killed others before. People like him need to be monitored."
Xun Wei paused as she tried to think of a way to argue in Xiao Fang's defense, but she couldn't think of a reason why Xiao Fang would lure the disciples here.
"It seems you really care about him," Yao Wu smirked as if she had finally discovered Xun Wei's secret.
"I... I might've ran into him a couple of times."
Xun Wei knew how Xiao Fang was, so she didn't want to put any unnecessary attention on him, but she also didn't want him to get into any trouble either.
"Alright, since he has close ties to you, I won't be punishing him, but we will have to put him on our watchlist. As you know, if he commits another crime his punishments will be more severe."
Xun Wei still wasn't happy about this, but she knew it was the lightest punishment they could give. Seeing that Xun Wei was still upset. Yao Wu decided to give her an alternative.
"How about this. If you can make 3 [ Illusory Clones , I'll not only take him off the watchlist, but I'll also give you permission to go see him," Yao Wu said.
"Are you serious?" Xun Wei replied excitedly.
"Of course."
Yao Wu was impressed by how quickly Xun Wei was able to make her first [ Illusory Clone , but she was even more impressed when Xun Wei was able to make a 2nd clone less than a week later. With the right motivation, she was confident she could make Xun Wei the most talented disciple the sect had ever seen.
Yao Wu was almost convinced that the Matriarch had made a mistake in giving up such a talented disciple. Little did she know, if Xun Wei never dual cultivated with Xiao Fang while he was learning the incomplete version of the [ Illusory Body ] method, she would've never been able to make those 2 illusory clones so quickly.
Changing her tone towards Yao Wu, Xun Wei spoke again.
"Master, please allow me to return. I would like to continue practicing the [ Illusory Clone ] technique as soon as possible."
"Mn, good. You go first. I'll assist you once I finish up here."
After Xun Wei left, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows. If Xiao Fang was here he would've recognized her as the head of the inner court disciplinary department, Yao Yin.
"Aunty Wu. Was that her?" Yao Yin asked.
"Mn. Remarkable isn't she. She could already detect qi at such a young age. Whoever her master is, he must be a powerful character."
Yao Yin was also under the impression that Xun Wei was a special girl, because she was convinced that Xun Wei had detected her while she was hiding in the shadows. The only other person that could do that was Xiao Fang.
Yao Yin looked at the scene as she began to think about Xiao Fang. The clues made it obvious that it was him. She thought he was just a weak dual cultivator, but it seems he wasn't nearly as weak, nor as innocent as she assumed him to be.
"Aunty Wu, shall I get the inner court disciplinary department disciples to study this case for experience?"
"No, don't tell the others about this. Don't bother putting him on the watchlist either." Yao Wu replied.
"But didn't you say he needed to be monitored?"
"Of course, but not by the inner court disciples. Since the Matriarch is interested in him, it becomes my responsibility to keep track of him."
Although what she was saying was mostly true, the truth was she didn't want the inner court disciplinary department to fall into his hands like the girls did in the outer court. Yao Wu's responsibility was always on the Inner and Core court disciples, so now that Xiao Fang was an inner court disciple, she no longer needed to go out of her way to look for him. He was in her playing field now so it was impossible for him to hide from her.
"Why would the Matriarch be interested in him?" Yao Yin asked.
Realizing that she said too much, Yao Wu replied,
"Who knows. Speaking about the Matriarch, I still need to make preparations for her return. I'll leave this mess to you and head out first. Later."
"Ah, Aunty Wu. Wait I-"
In the next moment Yao Wu disappeared from Yao Yin's sight.
Yao Yin sighed.
She was supposed to meet Xiao Fang at his house soon, but Yao Wu had kept her working for much longer than she expected.
'I wonder why the Matriarch is even interested in him. Could she know that he's a Dual Cultivator? No, that can't be. If she knew that then it would be an extremely serious matter. No one besides the Chaos Sect would be crazy enough to harbor a taboo cultivator,' she thought.
[ Inner Court ]
Although Yao Wu said that she needed to prepare for the Matriarch's arrival, the truth was, she wanted to make a quick stop at Xiao Fang's new house first.
She never understood why the Matriarch was so interested in him, but considering everything that happened around this elusive figure, she couldn't hold back from wanting to meet him.
She knew her disciple, Xun Wei, had a close relationship with him, she knew he was the first man that had ever reached the Phoenix class, and she also knew that he was a first-year that somehow fought and killed 20 Refinement realm disciples all at once. No matter how she thought about it, Xiao Fang was certainly not an ordinary disciple.
Standing outside of Xiao Fang's house, she knocked on his door, but no one answered.
'Is he not home? I wonder if he already found another girl's house to sleep in.'
She finally got impatient then took out a master key. To her surprise, it wasn't even locked. She invited herself in then began to look around.
'It seems he hasn't even touched the place yet.'
At the center of the house was a room with an open roof. She could see the moonlight shining down, illuminating the grass and the lush flora around her.
After going through the whole house, she found it pretty anticlimactic. From all the amazing things she heard about him, she expected there to be something interesting here.
'What am I thinking? How can I invade his privacy like this,' she shook her head when she realized what she was doing was wrong.
She was walking towards his front door when she suddenly heard someone coming. Deciding whether to escape through the roofless garden room or to hide, she chose the latter.
'I can definitely hear a man's voice, that must be him. I wonder which girl he's going to be sleeping with this time,' she thought.
During the brief period of time that she was looking for him in the outer court, she heard a lot about how good he was in bed. Although Yao Wu wasn't too interested in such things, she had to admit that she was a bit curious.
'It looks like I came early for the show. I just hope it's going to be as good as they say it is,' she smirked.
Yao Wu was now hiding and waiting to spectate him in action.
Finally, the doors began to open...
