Sinner of Cultivation World Steals Toxic Female Lead-Chapter 49: Promotion Assessment Part-1
Chapter 49: Promotion Assessment Part-1
’Huh?’
’Last time, I could easily perceive- This lowly guy was definitely at the first stage of transformation, so why can I no longer guess his realm?’
’Hmmm, interesting!’
-Yu Yanxie looked at Shaan with a new light in his eyes.
It was more like a predator wanting to skin alive the target in front of them, an eerily unnatural gaze~
Facing a strange atmosphere, Shaan was still in a leisurely mood, he knew there was nothing she could do to him for the timing, so be bold, Why shudder while facing her?
"So why are you here, I doubt an esteemed woman like you would have free time to visit an incompetent guy like me?"
Hearing Shaan’s question, Yu Yanxie just kept staring at him from head to toe as if unravelling some deep secret.
"It’s really interesting!"
She exclaimed with somewhat surprise.
"Do you know about your competitors....I did a background check, many of them have already entered the middle stages of transformation and you are just at an early stage!"
"Even with the top-grade sword that I had given you, it won’t be easy defeating them."
Yu Yanxie suddenly started to explain her reason for visiting.
"Plus, don’t think of them as mere commoners, many of them have secret backers in the inner sect, so almost all of them got various hole cards that can save change the tide of battle at the last moment."
Yu Yanxie’s voice became serious as she continued to speak.
"As long as the opponents are left with a single breath of life, the discipline committee won’t care how severe the injuries are."
"But you should also have some trump cards, right?"
She seems to be leading to a particular point.
With the grace and politeness she was speaking, it seemed she genuinely cared for Shaan as her subordinate in this competition.
Yu Yanxie’s furrowed eyebrows, worried face, and soft tone while repeatedly warning, all seemed so true.
Her every expression seemed to be filled with a tinge of care.
"Your cultivation too should have reached the late stage of transformation or even Golden Core, am I right?
Seeing Shaan so immersed in her dialogues, Yu Yanxie quickly changed the tone from informative to mildly interrogative.
The change was so subtle that if there was someone else in place of Shaan, he would have right away answered- Yes, I also got a trump card, I have now reached the first stage of Golden Core.
Likewise, Shaan’s mind was affected.
"Yes, I ..."
Just before he was about to readily answer her query, the lotus petal inside his consciousness emitted a cold wave making him instantly awake.
Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly changed his sentence at the last second.
"Yes, I am just a weak guy, I can only depend on luck and things borrowed from you, Madam."
There was a cold sweat on Shaan’s forehead.
He was sure, like Jasmine, Yu Yanxie too, used a very advanced-level of charming technique.
Or maybe she had those troublesome inherently-seductive physique?
But compared to Jasmine, her trickery was way professional.
With her added assets of being aesthetically beautiful, the effect of such a technique was enough to fool a simple man.
Shaan realised if he was not careful, this Yu Yanxie may have made him speak all his secrets subconsciously.
He resolutely decided to never let his guard down against her.
As for future preparations, he could only bank on upgrading his soul cultivation level to as high as he could.
"Hmmm?"
"This is not what you were about to say!"
"You changed your sentence midway!"
Yu Yanxie once again put her arms around her waist.
’How could my trick not work? This has never failed before! Maybe it is because he has a cautious personality?’
’It’s okay, next time I will be more fluent.’
Yu Yanxie immediately figured out a reason for Shaan’s unexpected behaviour, but didn’t take it to heart.
"So what is your realm now?"
She again asked the same question, since she can’t make him disclose on his own, then just threaten openly.
First comes tricks, then comes intimidation.
This is the normal routine during interrogation.
And Yu Yanxie was surely well-versed in her art.
Shaan knew he made a mistake, and this woman easily caught on to it.
This is the most irksome thing about a powerful and capable woman, once they are stuck with something, they become stubborn to the core.
Whether it rains heavily or there is hot-sunlight, such women will be stuck with the same thing until they have reached the bottom of the mystery.
Looking at her face full of inquiries, Shaan dared not take any chance, and gave a temporarily reassuring answer.
"Don’t worry, I have also reached the middle stage of transformation. With the sword and so many techniques I have borrowed from the Trade House, if I still can’t win, I will be a fool!"
Su Chen spoke solemnly.
Yu Yanxie scrutinized him for some minutes as if finding a sense of falsehood, this was not the answer she had expected, but nevertheless, it was enough to offset her momentary curiosity.
"Indeed, you have been coming a lot to my Trade House lately and shamelessly borrowing so many things, it’s better you finish top 5 or you can forget about the monthly antidote for the poison pill I fed you."
Yu Yanxie replied domineeringly.
"It’s time for the competition."
"I will leave now, you go on your own lest others think I am supporting you."
Yu Yanxie snorted before walking away with a tough attitude.
Her departing look seem to be warning him sternly that if he lose then he was doomed to die by month’s end because of poison pill abruptly breaking inside his body.
"Damn, what an annoying and dangerous woman!"
After making sure Yu Yanxie left, Shaan heaved a sigh full of relief.
Dealing with such a woman literally take a lot of toll on one’s mind.
Taking out the communication talisman from his spatial ring he hurriedly sent a message to Lin Mao.
After a few seconds, the communication talisman lit up again.
"Okay, now that Lin Mao sent me the location, it’s time to leave."
Making sure he was fully prepared, Shaan also left for the place where the inner sect promotion competition was scheduled.
After 20 minutes of walking and passing through various small teleportation arrays, Shaan finally arrived at an enormous practice ground.
There, many elders were present.
Alongside them, about 30 disciples wearing outer sect’s uniforms were present.
Shaan right away understood their identities.
"So these guys should be my competitors, but I don’t know if the elders present here are all from the inner sect.....who even cares?"
It took a single glance and Shaan understood the situation.
It was at this exact second that all the onlookers saw Shaan’s figure.
Everyone was confused, the location of this promotion competition was secret, and only 30 quotas to top-30 ranked outer sect disciples were issued, so why is there an outsider here?
An elder with long hair and a fox-like face, who was the referee of this event, came forward.
His face was full of anger, without even properly looking at Shan, he started shouting.
"Boy, who are you?"
"You must have heard about this top-secret promotion competition from somewhere, and came to try your luck."
"All of the competitors present here are thoroughly selected and carefully invited, we don’t have an extra place for a nobody like you!"
Watching Shaan standing without speaking anything, the referee thought this boy was scared by his speech, he kept adding.
"If you really want to be promoted to inner sect then wait for the formal promotion competition that will happen after 1 year."
The elder’s voice was filled with arrogance.
Hearing him being ridiculed, many of his competitors started laughing unceremoniously, treating him like a moron.
Shaan easily comprehended the situation, but there was still a small smile on his face.
"I understand that many of the disciples present here have brought there so-called backers with them, watching me come alone, you must have thought I can be easily bullied."
"But you are gravely mistaken my dear!"
It was not like Shaan came unprepared.
Just after he finished speaking, under the astonished eyes of all, the small teleportation arrays around the practice ground started litting up one after another.
From there, many people started coming out in various groups.
After 10 full minutes, the teleportation arrays finally stopped lifting up.
By now, 4 big groups of people have gathered.
Each group was headed by his ambitious yet obedient slave girls.
Lin Mao, Qin Miner, Su Shane’r and Ji Ruan all seem to be standing with a group of about 40 outer sect disciples.
Witnessing a crowd of 160 people that had gathered in the blink of an eye the previous group was taken aback.
Who could have thought about such a crazy scene?
Without giving the referee a chance to speak,
Qin Miner took the lead in shouting,
"We are here to support our brother Shaan!"
With her lead, all the 40 people behind her started chanting non-stop.
"Yes, we are here to support brother Shaan."
"Indeed, he is the most qualified person and should have been invited!"
The people standing behind her started orchestrating an opera long prepared before.
