Chapter 674: The Arena

It was like a whole city that was thriving in both people and architecture. But the land of mortals can never compare to this sacred ground of the Profound Delight Sect.

"The richness of world essence is also better here." Clark said after he took a couple of deep breaths to enjoy this epic advantage in full.

Although he cannot take it in his body since he did not have a spirit root and would render him no advantage but such minor inconvenience did not concern him at all.

He was more intent on tasting this nourishing aura on his tongue and lungs. This was more than enough to make him smile.

"Hehehe. I like this place already. I would enjoy my time staying here from today onward." Our bored gamer grinned and gently guided Ye Xinxia deeper into the domain.

It was obvious that the effect this place gave upon Ye Xinxia was different than our very own protagonist.

Ye Xinxia has a perverted talent on cultivation and her spirit root may be stronger than most which made her enjoy the benefits of this area completely.

She was dreamy and weak because of the constant rush of energy into her veins. This was of course the normal effects of getting so much power in so little time.

Later on, these effects would diminish.

"The time has come for our annual inner disciples exam! All those who want to join in the competition, come forward and register your names in front!"

A beautiful lady officiated this contest. The event was held in an ancient arena that could easily cater to a population of 200,000 people or more.

Since the seats were almost fully occupied, it was easy to determine that the Profound Delight Sect has at least this same number of disciples within their influence.

This sect truly deserved its claim to be one of the strongest schools in Myrefall Province.

"Are you okay now, Xia'er?" Our bored gamer asked his lover. Since they had come a bit late, the only free seats were at the topmost and farthest part of the arena.

"Yes, Brother Bu Fang. I feel a lot better now." Ye Xinxia tried to smile even though she was still gasping for the precious rich air that was around her.

It was clear that she would have a long way to go before she had her fill on the thick accumulation of energy inside the inner disciples court.

Alas, it was only sad to note that no matter how much she siphoned inside her body, Ye Xinxia would never break unto the innate realm without our avid gamer's permission.

The pit in her belly was like an endless abyss at this time. But this practice was not without benefits.

Clark redirected all this energy to nurture Ye Xinxia's body instead since it would have been a waste to spit it out without using it at all.

Our bored gamer truly cared for his women very much.

"Good. Wait for me here and I'll show you how I shall win this contest easily." Our good gamer then granted Ye Xinxia a chaste kiss on the lips.

After that, he calmly walked down once more towards the vast central space of the arena.

"Look! Isn't that Brother He Jiang! He took the 3rd spot of the inner disciples exam last year!"

"I bet he has become even stronger today! I can't wait for the fight to start! Super excited!" The disciples gossiped about a heavily built and domineering young man.

From his physique alone, it was easy to tell that he specialized in some close contact techniques.

The Profound Delight Sect was a big sect in the province for thousands of years and thus, they provided myriad inheritance from all walks of cultivators.

Some used swords as their weapons while others used a more practical way such as his own fist and other diverse techniques.

"I see Brother Qiao Kun!"

"That's Sister Yan Bao!"

"And the winner from last year, Brother Mo Kang!"

...

The enthusiastic disciples on the stands could not help but go crazy over the many great personalities of the sect.

They continued for a long long time as there were more than a thousand participants in this game. Each registered their names and calmly waited for when the event would start.

In a population of more or less 200,000 disciples, a 1,000 players in the inner disciples exam was truly too little. But this has only reflected the maturity of the rest.

Since they were not yet able to compete with the strong ones of the sect, they were willing to buy time in order for them to grow into power.

After all, nobody wanted to look like a fool in front of the thousands in attendance.

"What is that dumb outer disciple doing in there?! Is he already tired of living?!" A disciple exclaimed when he saw a young man in green sect uniform.

This color signified that its owner was still an outer disciple of the sect. Red specified an inner disciple and blue indicated that its bearer was a core disciple of the Profound Delight Sect.

Purple was of course intended for the elders like our very own Xia Juan.

"Hey, fuck head! What are you doing there?! That's not a place for a weak ant like you!" A rude disciple shouted towards the young man in question.

This was of course none other than our bored gamer. Clark ignored the taunts and walked slowly towards the center.

There were loud ridicules around and some held amused faces as they expected to see an epic comedy before them.

The mocking became so loud that the supervisor of the inner disciples exam had to intervene to halt the chaos.

"Outer disciples are not allowed entry to the exam. Please go back to your seat." The beautiful lady elder said towards our very own protagonist.

"Ohhh... I thought that any Innate Realm disciple could freely join this contest. Was I wrong?"

Clark smiled and had to close his eyes for effect. When he opened them once more, a crimson brilliance flowed from within which manifested an immortal presence unto his audience.
