YIN-YANG DEVOURER

"You're quite a box of surprises, brat."

"You are also in the first phase of your Body Strengthening Path" Natia said in surprise as she felt her ribs suffer from Ruvan's powerful kick. Her body still felt numb due to the golden rays which were still circulating throughout her body causing all kinds of havoc inside her.

Natia was surprised after all the alternative cultivation paths like the Body Strengthening Path and Soul Cultivation Path were specializations that cultivators could mostly access while within the Earth Realm. Although it was not impossible, it was extremely rare to see a Golden Core Realm Cultivator at the first stage of the Body Strengthening Path.

'Mmm this is weird'

'These rays are not normal,' Natia murmured as she felt how Ruvan's rays entered her body, damaging her vessels and internal organs. They even hovered menacingly near her Dantian, but their strength was not strong enough to cause her any kind of damage.

'I must admit that in his own Realm I am not his rival' Natia admitted internally as she prepared to counterattack. 

"I must admit, you surprised me, brat." 

"But now it's your turn to defend while I attack" Natia said with a cruel smile as she launched directly into the attack.

"Clang" "Clang" "Clang"

A sound of exchanges echoed in the room as Natia clashed her huge sword against Ruvan's spear. Ruvan's arms trembled as he tried his best to withstand Natia's powerful thrusts.

'It seems that she is also at a very high level of the Body Strengthening Path' Ruvan murmured for himself as he felt Natia's powerful force which did not stop besieging him incessantly.

The Body Strengthening Path was made up of fifteen stages which increased the physical capacity and resistance of cultivators to unimaginable levels.

'Shit... I feel like my spear is going to break in half' 

"Lightning shield" Ruvan murmured as a circle of lightning formed around him which affected Natia's mobility.

'Shit these golden rays are a pain in the ass'

'My limbs do not respond to me' Natia cursed internally as she felt how the rays penetrated her body internally.

"Void-cutting spear position one"

"Void-cutting spear position two" Ruvan murmured as he launched a couple of rather merciless attacks against a numb Natia who was doing her best to resist.

"Clang" "Clang" "Arrgh" Natia managed to defend herself from the first attack but to her misfortune, Ruvan's second attack managed to find an opening while piercing her arm.

"Krrrkrkrkr"

Ruvan did not waste the opportunity and sent a powerful stream of lightning through his spear straight towards Natia's left arm.

"Arrgh" Natia groaned in pain as she felt her muscles being mercilessly electrocuted to the point that her left arm became completely immobile. All hes nerves had been completely disabled, making any chance of movement impossible.

"You are a monster boy."

"Now I understand why the Lady wanted you at all costs," Natia murmured with disbelief.

'If we were at the same cultivation realm right now I would be completely crippled…'

'Almost no one from the younger generation could be his rival with the exception of the occasional celestial genius from the Great Sects' Natia thought as she watched Ruvan once again get into a combat position.

"Now get ready brat."

"I have been very easy with you…"

Just as she was preparing to recover some of her wounded pride, Xiong Mei entered the Training Room.

"Natia stop."

"But my Lady" Natia complained while pouting but seeing Xiong Mei's serious look she simply lowered her head while putting her training sword in her space ring.

"Ruvan can't allow himself to get hurt after all he has work to do when we get to the Sect."

"Now leave us alone because I have some matters to discuss with Ruvan" Xiong Mei said as she approached Ruvan.

'Damn with this brat's strength any kind of test will be mere child's play' Natia thought to herself as she bowed her head at Xiong Mei.

"Well, it's time for you to have some information about what you're going to do" Xiong Mei said as she watched Ruvan put away his training equipment in his space ring. She was quite surprised and at the same time proud to see Ruvan's performance against an extremely experienced combatant like Natia.

'Even a former mercenary like Natia found problems fighting with Ruvan'

'It seems like this boy spent most of his life struggling to reach a level of skill like the one he has' Xiong Mei thought to herself.

"As I told you before… It is impossible for me to recognize you as my disciple, I have powerful enemies inside and outside the Sect who will surely seek to harm you the moment your identity as my disciple is revealed."

"That's why I'm sending you to a friend of mine's Sect to pose as her personal disciple."

"My friend's Sect is called the Hidden Flower Sect and it is a subordinate sect of the Thousand Desires Sect, so they have some places to participate in the entrance tests of our Sect."

"However, the tests will not be for another ten years, so it is necessary that you live in my friend's Sect while you prepare…"

"Ten years it's not too long?" Asked Ruvan with disbelief.

"Not if you are trying to apply for the core disciple test. It is necessary to at least be in the middle stage of Sky Realms if you want to have any chance"

"After all, you are talking about a first-class Sect like the Thousand Wishes Sect. Did you really think it would be that easy? 

"Phew…" 

"Understood, Master." 

"By the way… What kind of place is the Hidden Flower Sect?" It's another Dual Sect?" Ruvan asked curiously after all Xiong Mei had always been quite vague with the information about that place.

A smile forms behind Xiong Mei's veil before explaining to Ruvan where she would be sending.

"The Hidden Flower Sect is a multipurpose Sect that practices various martial disciplines…"

"Its population consists of almost ninety-five percent women making it the largest provider of female cultivators for our Sect."

"So if you needed a place to look for women with special physiques, there is no better place than that" Xiong Mei said with a happy tone. She herself had drawn up her plan for Ruvan's growth long before she met him.

Seeing Ruvan's excited expression, Xiong Mei could only shake her head as she thought of the poor girls who would surely be scammed by her dishonest disciple.

During these months living with Ruvan, she had witnessed the multiple tricks used by Ruvan to sleep with different women.

'Surely I am sending a wolf into a flock of sheep'

'I hope Jena doesn't get angry with me' Xiong Mie thought with a wry smile.
