Chapter 91
Yasenia shook her head. “If the elder were someone that would kill for that little offense, I would have doubted how you became the demonic sect master. There is nothing to fear; we are just talking.”
Guan Yu asked, “You said ‘Her current partner’ You don’t call him father? It seems that he hasn’t taken care of you. How about I become your stepfather? I don’t have much to do with Tatyana right now, just a relationship between you and me. ”
Yasenia answered politely, “Thank you, elder, but I currently live well without a father. If the opportunity arises or I change my mind, you will be the first one to know.”
They reached the side of the formation, and Tatyana started explaining. The next phase of the tournament was going to be tomorrow morning.
The battles were one vs. one, and participants would choose “life and death battle” or “spar” before the fighting began.
If you won a death battle, you would gain 3 points per fight. On the other side, if you win a spar, you would only earn one point.
To participate in a death battle, both sides don’t need to agree; only one of the participants is required to agree. However, the rules, or lack of rules of the death battle, will be applied only to the side that chose the death battle.
This means that if one side agreed and the other didn’t, the only one that can die is the one who consented. Of course, after winning, they would get points equal to what they chose; death battle side wins, the participant receives three points; spar wins, they get only one.
The additional rule that Tatyana added is that even if you choose Death battle, you can call for surrender, and the supervisor of the fight will stop it immediately. Other conditions for winning are; making the enemy faint, losing all their energy, or incapacitating them until they can’t move.
The formation they were revising was a formation that manages most of this.
If the combat isn’t a deathmatch, it will be revised completely by the formation, and when one of the participants is on the verge of dying or without energy, the formation will eject them from the battlefield. Moreover, it will also record the points of each participant, making sure that nobody tampers with them.
Each person will participate in ten random battles across two days. The top 8192 participants will be selected for the final tournament from the almost 20 000 participants left.
If participants accumulate the same amount of points, ranking in the previous stage will decide who passes and who doesn’t.
After finishing revising the formation, they directly left with Tatyana. Yasenia had to advance to the Mental Nourishing realm, and they wanted to go to a place where nobody could bother them.
Yasenia said, “I have perfected everything before advancement. The tribulation will be very strong….”
“Tatyana frowned. “Little treasure, if we follow the pattern, this tribulation will have 27 lighting strikes. Reserve your energy even if you have to get hurt at the beginning. The first ones should not be lethal for you.”
The others were scared shitless and started sweating cold. Angel exclaimed, “W-what do you mean 27!? Isn’t that the amount received to enter the Unification realm!?”
Yasenia smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you that you will know in the future?”
Cecile frowned and became uncomfortable again. Yasenia gathered the four of them with her tail in a group hug, “I know you are scared, but believe in me. However, I warn you; I will become very injured. Don’t panic and let the seniors handle everything, okay?”
They hugged her tighter and nodded. Yasenia kissed the four of them and smiled toothily, “Look how this dragoness fights against the odds and wins!”
Tatyana called the people she had on standby and some teachers. Mason and Madeline have especially made a trip for this event under Tatyana’s orders. Tatyana’s head was basically repeating, ‘Protection, protection, I need all the protection. How much, you ask? My answer is yes.’
Yasenia looked at the side and smiled, gladly surprised. “Dr. Ava, Anna, Eve, long time no see!”
All of them smiled and bowed. Anna said, “We have come to protect you, miss, don’t worry and focus on your tribulation. Nobody will pass this maid unless they kill her! ”
Yasenia went forwards and hugged them. For her, Anna and Eve were like her big sisters. They have watched her grow, and she can feel their love for her.
Even if it is romantic love, she won’t treat them differently. She also likes them a ton. There was an event previously where Yasenia asked them to be part of her harem. However, at that time, they answered, “Miss, you are still young. If you feel the same some years later, ask again, we will be waiting for you, no matter how many years pass.”
Yasenia has never forgotten their words, and this was one of the reasons that she doubted if to fill the fifth spot now or reserve it for later years and add the pair of sisters.
She has a single spot in her “Wife” slots and doesn’t want to take back her previously made promises. Furthermore, since Yasenia discovered her bloodline properties, about being a [Progenitor Queen], she has started planning for the future and propagation of her bloodline.
Yasenia refocused on the task before her, ‘First, pass the tribulation, then the rest.’
She took out her sword, and her aura exploded. Yasenia started circulating her energy speedily, making her aura stronger by the second. Her body absorbed the energy of the surroundings like a whirlpool, and her meridians speedily transformed it and compressed it. The energy was sent through her whole body and gathered in the dantian. then *Bang!*
Her aura insanely inflated, and the celestial phantom dragon that appeared before manifested behind her, almost ten meters in height and more physical than before. She looked at the heaves, and the dragon looked up too; they took a deep breath, and then…
“RROOAAAAR!!!”
Yasenia and the phantom dragon released a deep and resounding roar simultaneously!
*BOOM!*
Her aura became even more tyrannical, making the floor cave in from her roar alone. The bicolor clouds started gathering a top of her, and the seniors appeared in the sky, looking at Yasenia.
They observed the phantom dragon behind Yasenia and raised an eyebrow. The Sun God spoke, “Little girl, you are impressive. Not only have you awakened a peak tier bloodline that combined both of ours, but it also seems that you have become a Progenitor. Oh… You have no heart demons and make the spiritual breakthrough? Good job, this time you also have my approval, don’t die on us; this tribulation is strong!”
The moon goddess smiled gently. “Yasenia, you now carry a new dragon bloodline. I hope you have many children in the future and become the leader of the new race. Celestial dragons are scarce; please don’t let them go extinct.”
Yasenia said with a laugh, “I have made my marked mate promise me 1000 children! I think we will be able to propagate the race just nice~.”
Both of them laughed and looked at the gathered people.
They spotted her marked mate, Cecile. The moon goddess smirked, “A human, however… [Ice Phoenix] bloodline? You found yourself a good mate Yasenia; your children will be strong!”
Cecil became flustered and bowed in thanks to the compliment.
*Rumble*
Feeling the tribulation about to start, they spoke simultaneously, “Inheritor, we have both accepted you, and rewards will be given if you survive. We wish you good luck!”
Yasenia looked towards the sky and saw one lightning bolt charging with the width of two fingers. The lightning bolt struck, and Yasenia calmly parried it with her [Draconic heart]. *Clang*
Not feeling much but a slight tingling, Yasenia looked strangely at the blade. ‘It absorbed it?’
The heavens didn’t let her analyze as there were already two lightning bolts the width of a wrist in the clouds!
*Rumble!*
Yasenia slashed upwards, hitting the two bolts of bicolor lightning. *BamBam* She felt the force behind them. However, she managed to block them easily. This time she focused on the sword, and she didn’t see it wrongly! It was absorbing the heavenly lightning!
Yasenia now saw six lightning bolts preparing on the clouds. ‘I will use the sword to block all I can and the tail for those I can’t.’
*Rumble!!*
The six lightning bolts fell one after another! Yasenia spun her sword as she managed to block the first four bolts, but the last two fell simultaneously, and she had to use her tail. *Bang!*
Her tail was repelled, but she didn’t suffer any injuries. ‘The first nine are over. Now it starts the hard thing.’
*RUMBLE!*
Another six lightning bolts started circulating on the clouds, this time with the width of a leg. Yasenia began to turn serious. “[Starry Sky], [Celestial Coat], [Moonless Night].”
Her domain deployed, and the bolts fell one after another. Yasenia used her empowered reflexes and body to block with the sword and tail, using the momentum of the bolts to spin.
Sword slash, *BAM* Yasenia let it be repelled and rotated, slashing with her swordtail at the next bolt! *BAM* The tail was repelled, and using footwork to pivot easier, she slashed toward the third strike. *BAM* Sword repelled, *BAM* Tail repelled, *BAM* The lightning hit slightly slanted, which caused her not to be able to reach for the sixth bolt with her tail! *BANG!* It hit her body squarely, making Yasenia grunt as silvery-golden electrical currents caused havoc in her body.
Yasenia felt the electric currents damage her body, but she didn’t mind. ‘Reserve strength for the last stretch! Twelve more to go!’
Meanwhile, the people who hadn’t seen her tribulation before were with their mouths open. Cecil said, “No wonder she found my tribulation lacking. Her first nine strikes were as strong as mine!”
Andrea had a serious face looking at these. “If she has to pass this kind of tribulation, no wonder she is strong.”
Evelyn commented, “The next six are as thick as a thigh! Truly abnormal!”
Yasenia looked at the bolts of lightning, and suddenly, she felt the weight of her sword increasing. She didn’t have the time to analyze; she started using skills “[Crescent Moon]!”
*RUMBLE!!!*
When Yasenia sent a 30m wide crescent attack, the six bolts fell faster than before. ‘I won’t be able to use the same tactic as before.’
The crescent attack hit the first two bolts, breaking them. Then, Yasenia used [Shooting star] against another bolt, destroying it. Finally, she used her sword and tail as she defended against another two. However, she had to use the [Celestial coat] to resist the last one! *BANG!* The lightning hit Yasenia on the back, making Yasenia’s legs bent and the floor sink.
The spectators could see the electricity going through her body, causing burns and Yasenia gritting her teeth in pain. However, The Heavens didn’t want to let her rest!
*RRUUUMMBLE!!!*
The last six bolts started coursing through the clouds! They all looked up, and some gasped, horrified. They were as thick as a waist!
Yasenia bit her lips and used her accelerated thoughts to think about how to pass them. After thinking a moment, her lips arched in a crazy smile. She pointed her sword towards the heavens as she squatted. Then, a silvery glow surrounded her sword as she shouted, “[MOON CHARGE]!”
Yasenia’s leg muscles inflated as she jumped with her legs and tail!
*BOOM!*
She shot to the sky, emitting silvery radiance as an ascending celestial.
When the bolts started raining, she used one star as a foothold for one leg and exploded it! *BOOM!* Her speed multiplied as her leg became completely mangled. Using that foothold and all her accumulated stars but one, she shouted! “[LUNAR STAR CHARGE]!”
White stars appeared around the silver trail, spiraling around her sword and transforming Yasenia into a silvery-white vortex.
Yasenia and the first two bolts crashed!
*BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Yasenia destroyed them completely and lost speed. However, she continued upwards!
*BOOM!*
Another bolt weakened the silver and white glow around her, but this wasn’t enough to stop the ascending dragoness!
*BOOM!* *CRASH!*
The third bolt destroyed the silver and white charge, leaving Yasenia and her [Celestial coat] against the last two deadly bolts!
Yasenia spun in the air and used her tail to do one [Crescent Moon] attack, using the momentum to change her direction and fall quickly! *BOOM!* The crescent only weakened the two bolts slightly. However, Yasenia shot down like a bullet! While she fell, the last two lightning bolts sped up, approaching the dragoness! Everyone thought this was the end!
However, Yasenia’s smile became wilder, showing her fangs.
While falling upside down, Yasenia put the star on the sole of her uninjured leg and exploded it.
*BOOM!*
blood splashed as Yasenia’s acceleration towards the ground spiked! She pointed her sword towards the ground as she roared, “[FALLING FULL MOON]!”
*BOOM!*
Her sword struck the ground, and the powerful shockwave transformed into a silver defensive dome! The expanding dome and the two bolts crashed. The bots impacted and deformed the dome cracking it everywhere! *CRASH* With the sound of shattering glass, everyone watched, horrified, as one of the bolts managed to continue its path toward Yasenia, weakened.
Yasenia then put the rest of the energy on her [Celestial Coat] And received the bolt!
*BANG!*
“ROOOOAAAR!”
An agonized roar followed the bright explosion, and then… Silence returned.
