Against Heaven's Will

"Young Master Bai!"

The lady staff exclaimed happily the moment she saw the man, causing Xuefeng and Tianshi to turn around curiously. It was definitely someone different from what they expected.

It was a blond shorty who didn’t even reach Xuefeng’s chest yet his head was enormous compared to the rest of his body. If not for his adult-like facial features, Xuefeng would bet he was still a teen.

Their gazes locked and Xuefeng almost burst out laughing, trying to stop himself by biting on his lips. His body was just too comical. With all the handsome girls and beauties around, he was there, short and square-faced.

Young Master Bai frowned when he saw that and flipped his shoulder-length hair to the side in a fabulous fashion.

"What? Have you never seen such a beautiful person like me?" He asked seriously, causing Xuefeng to break.

"Hahahaha, he can’t be serious," Xuefeng called out in laughter as he looked at Tianshi, unable to hold back anymore.

Pa!

Tianshi hit him on the shoulder, so he would behave but she was also trying hard not to laugh.

"Okay, okay," Xuefeng forcefully calmed himself down and greeted the man casually, "Nice to meet you. We would talk more but we are in a hurry, sooo..."

He didn’t finish and turned around to the lady staff instead, asking, "Can we enter already? We want to quickly qualify and be done with it."

"O-of course. Can I see your Tokens...? I can’t skip the procedure..." The lady staff questioned cautiously, already sweating. The pressure seemed to be too much for her.

"Sure, but I will quickly hide it. I am getting annoyed by the Golden Dragons flying out of the tokens," Xuefeng replied, pulling out his token once again. Two seconds later, he kept it and Tianshi followed suit. Just a glimpse was enough to act as proof.

He was earlier wondering why didn’t the House of Dragons denounce them yet, announcing they were impostors but then he realized they couldn’t. It would not only ruin their name but also their Sect Master as well. They probably couldn’t even reach him to confirm his story so everything worked out perfectly for them. Xuefeng already expected they would be approached in private to solve this issue, so until then, they could use their personal disciple identity.

"Thank you, Sir, Madam," the lady staff acknowledged as she bowed deeply. "I will note down your names but there is something you two need to know. With your background, House of Dragons can apply to put you both in the seeded spots. You don’t need to go through the Qualification Test."

"Oh, no worries. It’s not a bother. We actually want to test our strength first, so this Qualifier is perfect for us," Xuefeng replied while waving his hand not to worry about it.

In reality, they just couldn’t ask the Sect because they didn’t even join it yet. All they can do now is build the hype around them to sneak their way into the side door.

The lady staff nodded firmly and gazed at Young Master Bai who already walked up next to them, "You too, Young Master Bai. I already saw you in the seeded spots list through. There is no need to attend the Qualification Test."

"Of course I am. After all, I’m representing the Water Eagle Sect as their top seed. I didn’t come here for the test but rather to watch others and check their strength. After all, I plan to win this whole tournament," Young Master Bai replied casually with another flip of his hair and walked past them with his head high.

Xuefeng thought he didn’t mind them laughing, acting like a chill dude but then he heard a bullet fired at him, ruining the image Xuefeng built about him.

"I’m especially curious about the strength of a certain newbie who only became Sect Master Liu’s personal disciple because of his Forbidden Art. I will definitely laugh my ass off if he can’t even reach five million Units in strength. It would be a real shame to Sect Master Liu and House of Dragons."

Xuefeng frowned initially as the Young Master Bai walked into the arena without turning back, causing the lady staff to panic. She bowed deeply, trying to salvage the situation.

"Young Master Xuefeng... I apologize for Young Master Bai. He is—"

"Hahahaha! Good!" Xuefeng burst out laughing, cutting her off. "Don’t worry, I’m not mad. That’s just friendly banter."

How could he get mad at that? He was the first one to laugh at him, so it was only natural to receive a shot back. As long as Tianshi wasn’t affected by it, Xuefeng didn’t mind a little challenge.

"Let’s go inside and see what experts the Water Land has to offer," Xuefeng called out as they walked into the arena only to be stopped by the lady staff.

"Young Master! Please, take those two tokens I prepared. You won’t be able to take part in the Qualifier without them. Pass them to the trainer when you go up the stage please," the lady staff informed while giving them two round memory slips. When Xuefeng touched them, their information and pictures appeared in his mind.

"Thank you, Miss," Tianshi replied on their stead and pulled Xuefeng towards the entrance.

’What’s up?’ Xuefeng questioned in his mind, seeing something was off.

’I don’t have any offensive arts. How will I reach five million Units of strength?’ Tianshi asked worried only to be pulled into Xuefeng’s embrace with his arms wrapped around her waist.

’Aren’t you the best Support in the world? Don’t worry, I have a plan,’ Xuefeng assured, kissing her deeply before taking her inside, keeping her close to him. He could already hear a loud noise coming from the arena, so he had to be sure everyone knew Tianshi was his. He already expected people to stare at them, especially at her.

They walked in a narrow corridor leading to the arena and the closer they got, the louder was the noise. At the other end, they passed by two security guards who let them go in after seeing the memory slips and finally saw the gigantic arena.

BOOM! BANG!

The sounds of explosions filled the main floor as experts unleashed their abilities. Cheers and cries of approval followed right after, making the noise unbelievably annoying.

Tap.

He didn’t hesitate and tapped both of their ears, putting on a small background silencer that eased their eardrums.

From what they could see, none of the viewing seats were taken as all participants surrounded a hundred stages spread all over the field. The field alone was gigantic. If he wanted to guess, it was around five kilometers in diameter. Even walking from one end to another took some time which was why the few arenas at the front were occupied the most. The ones at the back only had a few hundred people around each stage, making it less crowded.

Xuefeng didn’t even hesitate and walked towards the closest arena with the largest number of people. If he wanted to be recognized by the House of Dragons, he had to become even more famous, making it impossible to silence them anymore.

Unfortunately, the crowd was so dense, it would be really hard to squeeze themselves to the front. The Cultivators by the entrance only gazed at them, hovering on Tianshi a bit more, but when they realized they didn’t know them, they quickly looked back at the stage, not wanting to miss anything. As Xuefeng didn’t plan on pushing through himself, he smiled and suddenly four identical copies of him appeared around them.

As they walked forward, four clones surrounded them and pushed the people out of the way, creating a narrow path.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing?!"

People called out angrily after being pushed away but Xuefeng didn’t care much. It was better this way than letting other guys touch his Tianshi when they try to break through the crowd. Xuefeng kept his poker face and didn’t even look at the other people, acting as if nothing happened.

Eventually, the public outcry caused more people to notice them and move out of the way willingly. Naturally, they weren’t exactly happy to see being pushed around by some nobodies who no one knew.

"What the fuck? Who are they to be so bossy?"

When they reached the front of the stage, almost everyone was looking at them instead of the stage where one of the participants was ready to display his talent. Even the trainer on the stage was distracted by the commotion, checking Xuefeng out.

The space in front of the stage was more empty so they had more space for themselves. Xuefeng was focused on the stage instead, observing the black wall on the stage. It seemed to be the testing Spirit Artefact that the Beast owner was talking about.

’Interesting. They are using a Black Dragonic Stone with an integrated Spirit Array as a measuring tool,’ Ming explained. ’Not bad but I expected more. If you want, you can even break it.’

’Huh? Really?’ Xuefeng questioned surprised, quickly getting intrigued.

"Yeah, it’s possible. Give me some time to calculate,’ Ming replied, turning silent.

Xuefeng didn’t mind, having a special talent of stalling for a time no matter what happens.

He wondered where was the shorty Bai only to see him appear, walking at the front towards him with his group of friends that followed closely behind.

"Everyone! If you wonder who they are, let me tell you! He is Liu Xuefeng and the beauty by his side is called Xiao Tianshi! Both of them are the rumored personal disciples of Sect Master Liu! I am really curious about what is their strength! Care to enlighten us with your brilliance?"
