The lady leading the group of beauties had long black hair, purple eyes with a hint of green, and slight make-up around her eyes. She looked incredibly beautiful but also threatening at the same time, like a rose with thorns.
These ladies were also exuding an overwhelming aura that nobody there has experienced before. They were clearly all from the upper heavens, especially the purple-eyed lady, who had a similar aura to Silver Dragon Long Chen.
However, unlike Long Chen, who was actively hiding his aura, this lady was letting it flow naturally.
These ladies would watch the Sword Trial from afar while mumbling to each other. It was unclear whether they planned on participating or not, but their presence was so heavy that it made focusing hard for the others.
Eventually, people began leaving the line one by one, as they did not want to participate under such an atmosphere. Of course, there were a few that became more motivated since they wanted to impress this group of fairies.
The line quickly grew shorter and shorter until there were less than a hundred people left.
Yuan quickly reached the front of the line, but right when it was his turn to enter the stage, the group of fairies began to move.
The group landed in front of him and blocked off his path to the platform while their leader— the purple-eyed beauty flew onto the stage.
"Wait if you don't want to die a pointless death." One of them said to him.
"..."
Yuan didn't want to argue with them so he remained silent.
"Good luck, Senior apprentice-sister Tang!"
"You'll clear this silly trial with ease!"
These girls began cheering for the purple-eyed beauty, who was surnamed Tang.
Shortly after the Fairy Tang entered the platform, an array formation in the shape of a circle appeared on the other side of the platform, and a figure would emerge from this circle a moment later.
As usual, this figure was wearing a mask, and they had the cultivation of a peak Spirit King.
Fairy Tang kept the same aloof expression on her face, seemingly unfazed by her opponent.
She proceeded to make the first move by pointing her finger at the masked figure.
"Scatter," she uttered in a low but confident voice.
Whoosh!
Thousands of purple-colored flower petals suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew towards the masked figure.
A sweet scent filled the air when the flower petals appeared, but when the surrounding Cultivators sniffed this scent, their consciousness immediately began fading, and those with a lower cultivation could even feel a numbing sensation in their body.
'This is… poison?' Although the poison wasn't effective on him, it wasn't completely ineffective, either.
After all, while his body could take a hit from a spiritual treasure and not receive a scratch, it didn't have much resistance to poison.
The purple flower petals quickly clashed with the masked figure like a tidal wave and consumed their entire figure.
However, a powerful wave of Sword Aura suddenly rippled in the area, instantly destroying the thousands of flower petals.
"Che. As expected, poison won't work on them." Fairy Tang sucked her teeth in an annoyed manner before she retrieved her weapon, a very thin sword that resembled a rapier, and her body also began radiating with Sword Aura.
The Sword Aura released by Fairy Tang was impressive, but it wouldn't hold a candle to Yuan's Sword Aura.
However, Fairy Tang still managed to defeat her opponent after 25 exchanges.
"Heavens! That fairy defeated her opponent within 25 strikes! I don't think I have seen anyone defeat the summon in less than a hundred strikes!" The spectators were filled with awe after witnessing Fairy Tang's performance.
"As expected of Senior apprentice-sister Tang!" Her group cheered.
The other girls in the group proceeded to enter the stage one by one until all of them challenged the Sword Trial.
In the end, all of them passed the trial, but their results greatly differed from each other, ranging between 50 strikes to 100 strikes to defeat their opponent.
"Heavens! I have never seen so many people pass the trial back to back! To think 7 people participated and 7 passed! Truly a spectacle!"
Once the whole group of beauties finally finished, Yuan made his way up the platform.
"Let's head inside the Sword Temple, Senior apprentice-sister Tang." The girls said to her.
However, she remained unmoving as her gaze was fixated on the platform.
The girls turned to look at Yuan and wondered why she was interested in his match.
"Although he's a little handsome, I don't see anything special about him."
"What do you see in him, Senior apprentice-sister Tang?"
Since Yuan had changed out of his Golden Dragon Robe to attract less attention from people like them, he no longer looked as special.
"Look around us. He's the only one who doesn't seem affected by my poisonous scent." Fairy Tang spoke in a calm voice.
When she mentioned this fact, the others also noticed this phenomenon.
"You're right… But is it really that weird? It's not like you're purposefully trying to harm them."
"Perhaps I am thinking too much about it. Let's go." Fairy Tang said as she turned around.
However, before she could even take two steps, her entire body froze when a tyrannical pressure suddenly appeared in the area.
"Who's exerting this pressure?!" The others were also baffled by this anomaly.
They all subconsciously turned to look at the platform.
"It must be that masked figure! She's the cause of this pressure!"
"Wait… This masked figure is a female?"
Indeed, standing on the platform about a dozen meters away from Yuan was a masked figure who was clearly a woman with feminine body, but the most damning evidence were the two large peaks on her chest.
"A masked figure that is a woman! I've never even heard of this before!" The spectators were just as surprised as the group of fairies.
Yuan narrowed his eyes at this masked figure. He'd watched hundreds of matches before his own, yet none of them had a female opponent, so why did he summon one?
