53 Slightly Busy~!
One Day Later...
It was unknown who spread these rumors but, apparently, a new disciple, a very attractive one, offended a powerful Senior by stealing his lover and even doing things between a man and woman while this Senior was watching. The Senior couldn't harm anyone in the Limitless Sky Sect so he instead took his revenge by using his intelligence and challenging the Junior to a death battle. The arrogant Junior even accepted, confident in his strength.
This news traveled throughout the Outer Sect and even the Inner Sect as the Elders in charge of Death Arena sold many tickets to many men who felt angered by the news. Stealing one's lover was already infuriating enough, but doing 'it' with this person's lover, in front of him, disgusted all who heard this rumor and also gave birth to a spark of curiosity. Even if the Elders of the Death Arena were stretching the truth by a lot, they were still slightly curious about this Junior.
Where did this one gain enough confidence to accept the challenge of someone who was in the Sect much longer than himself? Some animals in heat were simply excited to see this 'alluring' junior and judge whether he would live up to the rumors. Sketches of this Junior were posted up at random places in the Outer Sect by a mysterious individual, clearly hoping to make this death battle much bigger than it was.
While this happened, so swiftly in a short time, at the home of this Junior, standing in front of his door was the figure of a woman with long gold hair fluttering in the wind and a pair of hazel eyes that contained an unfathomable mystery to it.
"What are you doing here Aurel?!"
Suddenly, a deep voice resounded in her surroundings. Behind her, a black-haired middle-aged man with a pair of piercing azure eyes and a silver pole strapped to his back appeared. The eyes of the pair of figures met, staring and seemingly analyzing the other with clear battle intent radiating from those eyes, it seemed as if they weren't on friendly terms.
Hmph!
Snorting coldly, Aurel proclaimed. "My disciple spent some time in the Outer Sect and had been quietly cultivating but, as soon as your disciple appeared, he already found himself in shit. Seeing as I am a good master, I came to make sure my disciple isn't drowning in the shitty mess created by the disciple of a shitty master...!"
THRUM!
TREMBLE...!!
As Aurel's words entered the ears of the figure with black hair, the ground shook as cracks formed on the hard surface, the azure eyes lit up with battle intent as Jin replied...
"Old hag if I were you, I'll watch what I say. Firstly, you and I, in terms of teaching, are worlds apart... I am much better. Secondly, the way my Battle Art must be improved is in battle so I allowed him to enter the Sect knowing full well what would happen... Lastly, my disciple is much stronger than what you think so he isn't in any type of shit...!!"
Jin said with clear arrogance in his voice. But, Aurel had non of it as she shouted back, "Much stronger... Tch! How strong can a Martial Opening brat be?!" Aurel shouted with enthusiasm as if it was her own disciple that was in this mess. Jin cockily smiled upon hearing this as he said with even more haughtiness.
"Martial Opening brat... who told you that?" Pausing right here, with his hand folded, he approached Aurel, bringing his face inches away from that of Aurel's...
"Unlike your disciple, due to my teachings, many levels higher than yours, due to my incredible insights in cultivation, my student isn't a mere Martial Opening 'brat' but, he is instead a cultivator in the Martial Disciple realm!!"
THRUM!!
Gazing at Aurel's expression, her mouth formed an O shape, and unable to close, due to the shock she currently felt, Jin also experienced a fluctuation in his emotions. At the moment Jin felt accomplished as for the first time in a while, he had won against Aurel.
'The last time I felt like this... I guess, it was that time when I entered the Martial Lord realm before this hag... hehe!' Jin thought with a wide smile on his face. Thereafter, he walked around Aurel, approached the front door, took a key, and opened the door, he was surprised and said to Aurel.
"Hmm, Blade isn't present." Even though he didn't step inside he was somehow able to sense that Blade wasn't home. By this time, Aurel caught herself and replied, "I never said he was. When you appeared, I was about to head to my disciple's home and see if your disciple is disrupting my disciple from cultivation...!"
Bam!
Slamming the door closed, Jin clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Well, where does your oh-so-great disciple live?"
...
...
Appearing in front of another front door, the eyes of the two masters lit up as they sensed two auras inside. But, their bright eyes dimmed noticeably upon hearing the noises that penetrated through the walls...
Mmm~
Say my name...!
B...
Say my name...!
B-Blade!~
Ahh!~
...
Cough!
"It seems like my student is busy practicing swordplay with your disciple, I think it's best we search for them another time..."
Covering the blush on her face, Aurel left the scene.
Jin, momentarily remaining paralyzed, also left the porch soon after as he needed to go practice the way of the staff to clear his mind. It was simply too much for his brain to cope with...
...
One Day Later
...
The dazzling green sun producing endless Life Energy rose high in the skies signaling the birth of a new day. For the members of the Outer Sect, it was the day they laid eyes upon a death battle between a man with the support of all men in the Outer Sect who heard of what took place and a boy with the support of all women who saw him with their own eyes.
Speaking of this boy, currently, he slept peacefully as his bare body was covered by a thick blanket and in his embrace was an immaculate beauty who at first glance could be mistaken as a female. It wasn't as if this beauty wasn't female but at the moment, it wasn't exactly the case.
Slowly opening his eyes and analyzing his surroundings, Blade sighed as he got off the bed without awakening the sleeping figure on the bed. Closing his eyes, his breathing pattern changed as right after, his brows furred.
'Why do I not sense the Cosmic Will like last time?' Confused, Blade asked his system since he was unable to sense where his cultivation resource had disappeared to. Such an important resource disappearing brought a heaviness to his heart, after all, with it, he would be able to skyrocket through realms.
[Ding]
[It would seem like the energy which wrapped around your heart last time has dispersed. Well, it dispersed long ago, precisely the moment you took the oath and it appeared in your body, it was then that it disappeared. Unlike the first time when the Cosmic Will did not know your ability, this time it seems prepared to not allow you to use it to break through realms once more]
"Damn...!"
Passing his hand through his hair and calming his nerves, he opened a door that led to a bathtub with water already filling it. Submerged in water his eyes lit up once more...
'Don't I have a death battle today...?!'
...
...
Around the same time, inside a massive structure widely known as Death Arena, thousands of disciples from the Outer Sect filled the stands ready to witness Divine Punishment..! In the middle of the arena, sitting in a meditative position and with a spear on the ground next to him was Khan Chad, an Outer Sect disciple who, upon being the center of attention, felt nothing but hatred.
'I should have known those bloody elders would stretch everything to their advantage. A group of money-grubbing bastards... Tch! Now even after killing that brat, I'll be known as that one Senior who is a cuckold even though such a thing didn't happen!!...'
He absolutely regretted challenging Blade now, and he didn't want to stay here any longer but unlike a certain individual, he was tied to the contract by an oath to the Cosmic Will. Even without the Cosmic Will though, he would still appear, after all, his title would be 'The Cuckold To Scared To Fight A New Disciple'
...
In the stands, thousands of figures clothed in dark blue robes sat with excitement. In some seats, one would find figures in purple robes, indicating to those who sat close by that they were of the Inner Sector which greatly shocked those Outer Disciples.
Higher above the stands, there were rooms to entertain special guests. In one particular room, a woman in gold robes of Core Sector Disciples sat next to her master.
"Why exactly did you bring me here master..? Isn't this a battle between mere Outer disciples?"
Hearing the words of her disciple, a mysterious smile appeared on the master's face as she replied to her disciple's inquiry.
"What do you know? The 'Alluring Junior' they talk about... According to the words of the Sect Master, he is a potential Holy Child!... You better make friends with this 'mere' Outer disciple or other Core disciples would move much more decisively!"
