Now that some random young master had died, because of Jadhiel, he was welcomely waiting for the family of the dude to come to take revenge. Meanwhile, the young master's father Ou Fu was not at all interested in taking revenge right away.
'My trash of a son got himself killed by a no-name nobody. I always knew that Ou Hui and Ou Mèng Yáo were the only of my successors I could expect to honor the family name. That trash was an Ou, however, if that nobody thinks he can get away with killing him he is seriously mistaken.
Visiting that disciple and simply killing him would be too boring. I should give him the false impression that he got away with it, and give him a nice surprise. That legacy inheritance test is coming up soon.
That nobody does not seem to be weak, maybe he can get close to passing... Kkklkkkk. That is a test that has been passed generation after generation and no one was ever able to succeed, so in fact there is no way for this to happen.
But jokes aside as one of these stupid youngsters he will really think he can succeed, so I should put some strings for when he is hopes are at the highest he is ambushed and crippled, but not killed. Seeing his angry, fearful, and hopeless face would surely be fun...' Ou Fu thought.
Jadhiel lived his day-to-day life normally, surprised that the expected chain of troubles, young master-young master's father-young master's grandfather-young master's ancestor did not happen. Jadhiel concluded that the young master's family was one of the 'cunning' types, planning to ambush him or something.
Jahdiel was pleasantly surprised when he heard a unique opportunity was gonna be opened to the sect disciples: a legacy inheritance test from a Dao-level cultivator realm which was noted as the pinnacle of cultivation.
There was no information regarding the legacy inheritance test, no one succeeded in passing the test and all were sent out of it without any memories of what happened in the test. Ou Fu without enough information decided to send some disciples in his faction with an order to ambush Jadhiel in his test, if they could not find him during the test they should wait for him at the exit to attack him.
So Jadhiel entered the test by passing a portal. Behind him was a wall, and in front of him was a stage four Cave Lion qi beast, a Panthera with a lion-like appearance. Jahdiel was nearly asking himself where this beast came from and how could the test keep supplying beasts to be defeated, but he quickly shook his head and started to concentrate on the fight forward. He quickly took a fighting stance.
Meanwhile, a certain remaining spirit was thinking:'How dare a yang physique cultivator to be here.'
'This corridor seems to be long. A Transportation would help to preserve my stamina, I may have the law of endurance, but I do not know how long the fighting in this test would last.' Jadhiel thought. As the beast through itself at Jadhiel trying to use its strong teeth to break his neck.
An interesting thing about beasts in the higher realm is that the presence of law is so deeply imprinted in the world, that most beasts automatically became law beasts when their qi reached a certain level so they remained as intelligent as normal beasts. Most beasts only gain rationality at a demigod level in the higher realm.
With his body cultivation alone he was physically as strong as the beast, but with his normal cultivation, he completely outclassed it.
Jadhiel put his hand on the top of the beast's head, and press it on the ground being careful to not kill it, then he mounted it. The beast resisted for a bit, but after a minute of being beaten up, it gave up. Next Jahdiel had to fight two Cave Lions at once, then four Cave Lions, then eight, sixteen, and finally thirty-two.
He could only make it thanks to the law of endurance. Jadhjiel took this test as an opportunity to improve his overall law combat, he took a spear that he was carrying on his back and started attacking with one of his hands, and a sword with the other and sometimes he threw both out and took an arrow and bow. To increase his attack power he combined it with his space law. After the end of the first test, Jahdiel had already mastered his secondary laws to the pinnacle.
'The first test was originally not much difficult. It was to fight seven, fighting two at the same time in the end, Cave Lion with cultivation equal to the contender one after another, but I made that asshole fight sixty-three cave lions overall, how the hell he passed? No problem, I will make him fail this time 'Thought the remaining spirit.
Half of the contenders had already been eliminated. All that passed were exhausted, but the second test started right away. The next part was a tournament-like phase. It was announced that the tournament would start with an elimination round in an all against all competition the remaining sixteen would compete in the real tournament. They were transported to a mountainous terrain.
Jahdiel was transported to the lowest point of the terrain, which made him the easiest target to be attacked. All focused on the easiest target which was Jahdiel, which decided to train in other ways besides weapons and decided to try to soul attacks, which he practically did not use in his fights.
He did not attempt to kill anyone, as he did not know that he was being specifically targeted by some group. He thought he was suddenly attacked because he seemed like an easy target.
His attacks were fast and none lethal, it was like his enemies were being pressured by the heavens itself, as several cultivators one after another started to fall unconscious and were being eliminated. Meanwhile, Jahdiel kept moving his body while he attacked with his soul, he avoid the stronger attacks and took the weaker ones to train his endurance. Sometimes he took some arrows with a hand and threw them back at his attackers.
He may have already been eliminated if his enemies were not also exhausted and barely moving, the good thing was that all this struggle and pressure had allowed Jahdiel to break through two stages. As Jahdiel was beginning to be more exhausted, some more cunning disciples, concluding that Jadhiel would not fall easily, started to attack their allies and defeated them and so the combat became more chaotic in all against all fashion.
The truth is that none of Jahdiel's attackers were going all out because they knew they had to defeat more enemies to pass the band if they became unable to fight the next to be eliminated would be them.
The match concluded with sixteen people, including Jahdiel, passing. Each champion was informed that they would receive points according to the number of enemies they defeated.
Using items from outside was forbidden, unless one paid for them with points, the better the item evaluation the more points would be needed. Jahdiel got a number of points, which he considered good, but had no way of knowing for sure as he did not see how much the other disciples were defeated.
He got ten thousand points. To his disappointment, he saw that he had to pay nine thousand points only to keep his normal clothes on, as he had no interest in fighting naked he paid. With his remaining points, he saw that he could only buy these items:
Celestial Beast Toothpaste: 900 points
Your law beast or above is with his teeth dirty, this incredible product can keep your beast with clean teeth.
Low-Quality Vinegar Wine: 200 points
A wine of the lowest quality. Because of improper treatment, it started to taste more and more like vinegar, it's close to becoming vinegar. Perfect for a loser low in points to savor the taste of his inevitable defeat.
Cooper Old Coin: 150 points
As the name suggested the item is a normal Cooper coin without any value.
Meanwhile, if Jahdiel wanted to keep his weapons he had to pay one thousand and five hundred points for his bow and arrows, two thousand points for his sword, and three thousand points for his spear.
Jahdiel was surprised with the price because he knew that even a lot of people that fail at least got some useful items from it, which he guessed came from the store. The items were probably the reason there were a lot of people still taking the test, which was now believed to be impossible to pass. Some got a breakthrough in the test, which Jahdiel guessed was from some pill they bought at the store.
'He paid for his clothes, not something one would expect from an arrogant being with a yang body. I was hoping he would fight naked and have his thing chopped off during combat.'The spirit thought.
Jahdiel decided to buy the toothpaste, which he thought would be useful to use with his pet which he took with him when he ascended, as he was not restricted by the heavenly law of the lower realm.
In the higher realm where the law imprint is much clearer, the Roc was able to reach the peak of the law of heaven and break through the next stage. However, as the beast lacked a system, its progress was very slow compared to Jadhiel. It could no longer be a fighting companion to him, but just a pet and friend, as the beast had gained wisdom.
Jahdiel first fought against a dude with a sword, that was a high-quality artifact, much better than his weapons.
'How many points this dude made? No, thinking better I think I defeated a lot of disciples so my points are not low, I think there is something wrong here. Is the test arbiter bullying me? Are Dao-level cultivators remain spirits that petty?' Jadhiel thought.
Before he even started to fight, Jahdiel started to feel weight wear on him, he also felt that the air around him started to become rarefied, and he started to feel exhausted by the little amount of air to breathe. It was a strange sensation because cultivators at his level, because of qi can stay years without breathing. He could only conclude that this was related to the law of his opponent.
He quickly grasped that the law in question was the law of mountains. Jadhiel used the law of space to counter the weight of the mountain. The law of vitality and endurance to counter the rarefied air effect. Although his enemy was better armed he was too slow and weaker than him, so Jahdiel only had to throw a fist at his enemy's face and he was already defeated.
His next opponent was a lady. She seems to be a bit more troublesome opponent. She was caring a high-quality artifact shield. It was rare for a prideful cultivator to carry a shield, so Jadhiel accurately guessed her law was the shield.
"You will never defeat me with this shield that can hold on even the heavens."The woman said.
Jahdiel threw his strongest fist at his opponent's shield, but he failed to pierce it. 'Such a strong defense can be used to protect even one's soul.' Jadhiel thought. Making use of the second of distraction, after his attack and the woman's prideful smirk, Jahdiel quickly attacked her soul before she could pay attention to defend it, so she quickly passed out.
Jadhiel's next opponent was caring a wooden staff, some more dumb cultivators may dismiss his weapon as weak, but Jahdiel could tell that weapon was not a normal one, there was something special about that wood. Little did Jahdiel know but that wood was wood from the Huluppu Tree. The legendary tree, in the center of the Elf Continent, is said to be the mother of all trees and as old as heaven.
Jahdiel's adversary attacked him with the staff, growing the staff size while fighting, Jahdiel prepared to defend himself as he wanted to understand his enemy's strength before he attacked. The staff started to grow branches with leaves, while the staff was going in Jahdiel's direction. These branches fell on the ground and, as the below of the branches turned into roots, plants became to sprout.
With this Jadhiel's enemy was trying to create an environment more favorable to himself. Jadhiel quickly responded by walking backward to avoid the plant attacks from below, making a space barrier around him, turning his qi into vitality, and nourishing vitality to the plants in front of him.
The plants grew too fast beyond his adversary's control and pushed him out of the arena. He could have absorbed the vitality of the plants, but he concluded an action like this, which is related to evil cultivation, would be counterproductive to his cultivation of the good intent law.
Finally, Jahdiel was in the finals, his adversary was a woman. Jadhiel concluded she was a formidable enemy, with a look he could tell she was a body cultivator in the same realm as his. Her normal cultivation was a whole realm above his. Jadhiel had to admit she was very attractive compared to all the beauty cultivators he had seen. He did not know but she taught the same.
As the fight started. Jadhiel saw three equal women attacking him at the same time. It was obviously an illusion. The few amounts of fakes were compensated by how realistic the illusion was and how strategic the position was, one attack was head own, the other was an attack to his legs to unbalance him, and the last was an attack at his blind spot.
The illusion even was accompanied by a faked vitality, but as someone knowledgeable about the vitality law Jahdiel could not be deceived so he defended against the true one. His fist was bleeding. He felt the other attacks, to his surprise, colliding with him as well. But as they collided, the illusion seem to dissipate and the energy entered inside his body allowing Jahdiel to break through a stage, he also felt his foundation becoming a bit stronger. At the same time, to yang explosion appeared behind and below Jahdiel., taking her by surprise, which allowed Jahdiel to quickly attack her soul, making her pass out.
Jahdiel thought about the situation and was able to understand what happened his enemy have yin and the moon as her main laws, and light as a secondary law, as she seem to have a ying body she may have other secondary laws, but as she did not use them, Jahdiel was unable to evaluate.
The technique she used made clones, which were quite convincing, with the law of light, the law of the moon, which in a mythic sense was illusory, but true at the same time, give the light mass. The fake vitality was actually ying, which a ying body allowed her to do more easily master. A ying attack on a female may have a strong corrosive effect, but to a male, it was usually a pleasant experience that may, completely kill their concentration.
To a yang body, the attack may have the worst effect, as a yang body holder may moan from pleasure, the problem for the attacker would be that the yang of their enemy would enter their body as well giving them the same effect.
That was the reason that only her clones used the technique, as her cultivation was higher them her enemy, she concluded that her clones' attack was strong enough to kill her enemy's concentration, while she would remain on point completely concentrated.
Even though she was already in an advantageous position, she used all her tricks to increase her advantage and went all out from the beginning. There was no problem going all out because it was the last fight in the competition.
'Not underestimating the enemy that reached the finals, quite smart. It is a pity for her that her plan backfired.' Jahdiel thought.
Her contribution gave Jahdiel a weak enlightenment on the sun law, he felt that if he passed a bit more time meditating he could add the sun as one of his secondary laws. So he sat down and meditated, waiting for the next step of the test.
