Then Damon sit into cross legged position and start to cultivate.

Even though he can’t cultivate normally, he still can solidify his foundation using the yin qi that Ariel released when they had sex that still lingering in the room.

Time slipped by without Damon noticing. He opened his eyes and asked.

’System, what time is it?’

[It’s 08:30 AM]

His gaze moved toward toward Ariel, whose aura had already begun to settle down. As her eyes slowly open and greeted by his.

"Good morning, Ariel. Congratulations for breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Elementary Spirit Realm." A smile appears across his lips.

The moment she looked his smile and his handsome face; Ariel lunged forward with her legs wrapping around his waist and arms hooking behind his neck.

"Thank you, Damon. Truly, thank you. I’m glad that we met." Tears began to flow down from her eyes.

"Why are you crying like we’ll never see each other again? You’re my woman, Ariel. Making you happy is my duty." as he wiped her tears on her face with his thumb.

"But you’ve given me so much... I wouldn’t know where to begin repaying you..."

"Well, you can always give me something you like." He gives her a shameless grin while his hands gave her breast a squeeze.

"Ahhn~! You pervert." Her face flushed crimson as she planted a kiss against his mouth.

"Then it’s my duty to make you satisfied and happy, hehehe." Her expression changes into her lustful face, and her voice became seductive, provocative vigor.

"That’ll have to wait. The selection is in a few hours; we need to leave." Damon reminded her.

"Hmm..." She nodded, though her expression showed a clear disappointment.

Damon watched her face, quietly amused.

’So, you would rather have sex with me than go to the sect selection.’

Damon and Ariel checked out of the inn and headed towards the vast mountain where Azure Dragon Sect test will be held.

The streets had grown considerably more congested than before, bodies packed together in every direction, and he had to force his way through before they finally arrived near the Sect’s gates.

Inner disciples had already positioned themselves between the candidates and the spectators, unleashing their spiritual pressure of True Spirit Realm onto anyone who step forward.

This was the welcoming test — a test of will.

To pass, each candidate had to withstand the crushing spiritual pressure radiating from those cultivators and push through regardless.

Many had already crumbled. Dozens lay scattered across the ground while disciples hauled them clear of the testing zone. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Some staggered ahead on trembling legs, barely moving their legs, while some others walk through, but with a furrowed brow.

Damon slowed his walk, then looked over at Ariel and took her hand.

"Let’s go, Ariel."

She gave a single nod, and together they stepped into the pressure. Immediately, several auras pressing down on them, but neither of them flinched.

They walked forward with calm pace, drawing wide-eyed stares from the crowd gathered there.

Seeing their performance, the inner disciples parted without a word, allowing them through to the Sect entrance.

****

On the way to the sect gate, Damon spotted two beautiful girls — both with dark purple hair, one wearing hers in a long ponytail while the other let hers fall straight — standing before a young man who was shouting at them.

"You dare to humiliate me? Jack Frostborn? Do you know who I am?"

The straight-haired girl moved behind the other girl, while the one with the ponytail moved forward and cover the other one.

"We just walked in front of you then asked you if you were alright. Because the spiritual pressure test from the inner disciple earlier your face didn’t look fine. How exactly does that count as humiliating you?"

"I have no use for concern from common girls like you two." Jack snapped.

"So, we wounded your little pride, did we?" The ponytailed girl’s tone was laced with mockery.

"Why you little—!" He raised his hand, getting ready to hit them.

It never landed.

Another hand closed around his wrist and held it there.

"Who the fuck dares—!" Jack turned, only to find Damon at the other end of his wrist.

"What do you want, you commoner trash!?"

"I don’t care if you are a noble or what, but... Don’t cause a scene right before the selection."

Jack pulls out his hand free with a sharp "Tch!" and fixed all three of them with a glare.

"My sister is an elder here. Remember that name — Jack Frostborn — because I’ll make sure that you all pay for this. You damn commoner," He turned on his heel and strode off toward the sect gate.
