Heaven, Earth, Me

While they were waiting, a handsome young man approached them. Yasenia looked at him, and seeing the way he moved as proud as a peacock and his gentle on the outside but lecherous on the inside smile, she knew that she was about to meet one of the young masters her mother talked about.

She just ignored him and continued minding her own business. However, this guy didn't take the clue. "Hello, beautiful lady! This one has seen that the two of you don't have any group to stand with. Do you mind entering my group?"

Yasenia, not knowing anything about the entrance exam, took the chance and answered the half a head shorter man. "Group? Is it necessary? Isn't this an individual test? I thought that each of us would have a test and be evaluated off of that."

The man, of course, would abuse the little information he had to make the temptress in front of him become interested in him. "There will indeed be an individual test, but that is only the last three of the four. The first is going to be an obstacle course. We all are going to be thrown into different places. Yet, there are at most ten of them, so of course, there will be a lot of cultivators in each of them. Our group will help each other reach the end once we meet inside. Do you want to join?"

Yasenia was actually tempted.

He didn't say anything that was disadvantageous for her, making her think it would be worth joining. Maybe she was mistaken about him being one of those typical young masters?

The man continued. "Of course, if you become my woman, I will make sure you pass the first test and make every one of my team members help you!"

Yasenia blinked twice, and then she smiled at the man and opened her beautiful, tempting lips. "Scram." Only to brutally yet calmly reject the man. She stopped looking at him and walked away with Oliver, who had been watching the show from the start.

The man was surprised and then enraged. "You! Don't you know who I am!? I'm the son of one of the teachers here! Being my woman should-."

Before he continued, a tail tip slapped him hard, sending him flying.

*Bang!*

The man rolled until he slammed onto one wall at the side, leaving everyone speechless.

This was followed by a lazy and charming voice "I don't care."

In truth, the teacher had arrived a while ago and had been observing the kids in front of her all the time.

Yasenia stuck out like a sore thumb, so she had a little more attention than the rest.

When she saw the tail hitting strength, her eyes couldn't help but shine in praise. 'With that kind of strength and flexibility, her combat attack pattern should be challenging to predict! And it seems that she has an abnormally high level of control over her tail… Gah! I really want to take her as my disciple! But this year, I can only take one disciple… Little girl, please don't let me down!'

Then, seeing that the boy who was slapped got up, she stepped forward and coughed once with her energy, making the sound thunderous.

This gathered the attention of all the people there. "Well, I see that everyone is gathered here. I'm Madelaine, one of the two headteachers of the Cultivation branch. I'm a darkness-attributed cultivator."

"You already know that cultivation skills are divided into two big blocks: the Martial cultivation skills that use weapons or your own body and the Energy cultivation skills that transform your attributed energy into different techniques. You can even make combination skills, although those are rare and difficult to find, not to mention creating one. I specialize in Energy cultivation teaching… Although my martial cultivation techniques are quite good too."

The last part was added because she sensed Yasenia was losing interest! Truly Shameless!

"Now you will go to one of the spots that will light up, don't fight for them since there are enough for all of you. When you reach them and sit cross-legged, the formation below will activate, and you will be transported to one of the ten stages we prepared. You will have to cross to the other side within three days! You can do whatever in there."

Then she put on a bloodthirsty smile that radiated a chilling aura, and she said. "You can also try to kill each other; we won't stop you from trying. But I don't recommend it."

Some people felt chills in their spines and changed their strategies. When they all sat cross-legged and closed their eyes, they felt something pulling them downwards and then fell onto their butts.

Yasenia opened her eyes and looked around. After not seeing Oliver, she shrugged and then charged forward.

Seeing that there was quite a distance before any obstacle, she started analyzing the surroundings while running.

On the horizon, there was a forest. She thought she should aim there as the signals pointed in that direction. She was in a meadow, and the tall grass reached her waist.

While advancing rapidly, her sharp senses warned her of something being thrown at her, so she used her hardened tail in the short-sword shape to deflect it.

*Clang!*

A metallic sound was created, and she felt a little bit of pain in her tail.

Her slit eyes thinned almost in a line as she focused on the thing she deflected. It was an apple-sized seed.

'Even the flowers attack in this meadow? I really can't take this lightly. Focus! Dodge when you can and only block if you can't afford doge!'

Before reaching the halfway mark to the forest, she received an attack per second. The flowers in the surroundings had high accuracy, but she dodged easily.

Occasionally, she blocked an attack to see if the strength increased and calculate whether her tail could support blocking the attacks without being broken. 'Everything is good for now.'

When she passed the halfway mark, a sea of flowers suddenly bloomed before her!

*Papapapa.*

With that sound constantly sounding, a barrage of attacks went her way.

She remembered the obstacle courses she did as a child and smiled confidently. 'Interesting!'

Then, instead of slowing down, she put energy into her legs and tail, pushing against the ground to shoot forward like an arrow.

A blue-haired girl was paying attention to one person in the rooms where the teachers and some senior students observed the tests. Some teachers and alumni saw the legendary Ice Queen focusing on someone all the time and couldn't help but look over.

The person she was observing was a devastatingly beautiful dragoness.

One senior brother commented. "Although she is going fast, she will have to slow down when she reaches the halfway point. She is too reckless."

Seeing some shots being deflected with her tail, one senior sister commented. "That tail sure is hard. I remember those shots breaking my Spirit rank sword when I passed that area."

They all focused when Yasenia reached halfway. After seeing all those flowers appearing, some smiled and taunted. "What are you going to do now?"

But soon, they lost their smiles.

Against all odds, Yasenia accelerated and flew head-first against the barrage of attacks.

Seeing the abrupt acceleration, they opened their eyes, utterly surprised. "She is crazy! Doesn't she know that she can die in the test? At this pace she-."

But that person stopped speaking because Yasenia suddenly began weaving between attacks elegantly and proficiently without losing speed.

Yasenia moved between the shots like a fish in the water without slowing down. Then she started changing directions wildly while doing spins and using her tail to deflect the seeds that were impossible to dodge.

Yasenia's body tilted too much to the side to dodge a shot to her head, and they all saw her losing balance and falling sideways. "Oh no!"

When she seemed about to fall, she slapped her tail on the ground, propelling herself forward and dodging even more shots while regaining her balance.

All of this without losing speed!

Her movements connected in a highly deadly yet beautiful dance where one misstep could mean death.

But the teachers and seniors, seeing it, were silent and holding their breath while their hearts jumped every time she lost balance or when one shot was deflected barely an inch away from her head with her agile tail.

After a minute of running, the last barrage arrived, creating almost a wall before Yasenia's eyes.

The dragoness calmly smiled and put more energy into her legs and tail. Subsequently, she jumped and hit the ground to propel herself with her tail above the wall of seeds, making an extremely high jump.

Then, like a blood spirit falling from the sky, she entered the forest without a scratch!

The people in the room released a breath they didn't know they were holding.

"She is crazy! What was that!?"

A senior sister answered angrily. "Huh!? Who is crazy!? MY little junior sister is awesome, charming, and elegant! Can you do something like that? You can't! If you dare bully her, I will fight you!"

The male disciple looked stupefied at that girl.

Then all the people started commenting.

Meanwhile, Cecile had a slight smile on her lips and thought. 'I knew you were strong. Come to the violet class fast. I am waiting for you.'

A tall man carrying a two-meter-long broadsword commented. "Hmmm, not bad. Maybe I can make her my disciple. I see that she also uses a giant broadsword like me."

Madelaine looked at him from the side and released her aura. "What did you say, muscle brain? You? Teaching? We might as well wait for mortals to fly on their own! I saw her first, and she will be my disciple. Don't you dare steal my disciple!"

Mason looked at her strangely, "Didn't the elders say that this year you could only take one disciple as a punishment and only if that person qualifies in the top five?"

Madelaine snorted. "Those old geezers! Didn't I just destroy one of the arenas? Why did they punish me only to take a single personal disciple for one hundred years!? That's too much!"

The man, named Mason, added, "Yes, one arena, one of the only ten arenas that can resist attacks from Transcendent Cultivators."

Madelaine looked away guiltily and changed the subject, "Look, she is going to fight her first beast!"

Mason rolled his eyes and let her be, then returned to see the other students he had his eyes on.

Meanwhile, inside the forest, Yasenia was advancing carefully. 'I've consumed one-fifth of my energy in that dash. It is almost noon, so my energy regeneration is fast. I think I'm the first entering the forest, so I shouldn't rush things.'

Then she saw a rank two gorilla-like beast appearing in her way. It was three meters in height.

She summoned her giant sword from her spatial ring and stopped running. 'This kind of beast is strength type; it doesn't have an attribute, but its regeneration is very high. The abdomen is their weak point, but those arms of his will change me into a pancake before I can attack it. Then… the neck and eyes.'

Yasenia changed her tail tip into the thirty-five-centimeter sword shape and dashed forward.

The gorilla jumped and punched down at Yasenia. With a side step, she dodged and used her tail to slash the abdomen and gather his attention.

When the gorilla used one hand to protect it and attacked with the other arm, Yasenia used her flexibility to change her tail into a spearhead and strike one eye while covering the tip in energy!

The attack was fast and ruthless, connecting and splashing blood while also taking a pain-filled scream from the giant monkey.

However, the gorilla reacted quickly, used the arm protecting his abdomen, and slapped it toward Yasenia.

Yasenia saw it coming and used the giant sword as a shield while jumping backward to cushion the punch.

*Bang! *

The powerful strike sent her flying, but she stabilized quickly with two backflips.

Then, she used her powerful legs to charge straight in, increasing her speed exponentially.

When she entered the beast's attack range, she rapidly changed direction toward its blindside.

When the gorilla lost sight of his opponent, he turned to the side only to hear something slapping strongly against the ground.

Then he saw a smiling face with a giant sword flashing towards its neck, and the world spun.

The last thing the gorilla saw was his own decapitated body as the red-wearing dragoness flew away from his body.
