Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

The third round of the Gift Duel was over. The score was now two to one in favor of Chen Wentian. Nobody could have expected this result. The Shangyang Sky Slippers were simply too mind-boggling. It was probably worth over fifty kilograms of orange spiritual crystal, an absolute fortune. He was now one win away from defeating Yang Gehu and prevailing against the accusation against him.

Out of everyone gathered, it was Yang Gehu who felt the most pressure. He should have been easily ahead in this gift duel but his assumptions had been shattered over and over. Now he faced the very real possibility of losing the Gift Duel, of suffering public humiliation for a century.

How could he, a candidate to be the future clan leader, fall down due to a nobody like Chen Wentian? Impossible!

He shot Chen Wentian a fierce glare. His pride and his future couldn't be crushed like this. He absolutely could not afford to lose the next round. He couldn't worry about the final round right now, he had to give it his all in this next round!

All of this did not go unnoticed by Chen Wentian. He saw each of his opponent’s facial expressions and felt every pulse of spiritual energy that was filled with indignation and misplaced pride. It wasn’t too difficult to guess what Yang Gehu would do.

Chen Wentian was the master of Anatta Soul Nirvana Art. He had taken over countless souls belonging to men similar to Yang Gehu, young masters and princes with all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. He knew many people like Yang Gehu and he could estimate Yang Gehu's next move with enough confidence. If he couldn’t, then it was a complete waste of his heaven-defying soul art.

The Gift Duel continued with the fourth round. Chen Wentian revealed his gift first which was a set of medicinal pills. Unlike the ones Yang Gehu had presented in the previous round, his were intended to benefit a dancer’s physique, increasing their flexibility, stamina, and concentration. The pills had different prescriptions for each lesser realm and were designed to guide a Dao of dance cultivator all the way to an immortal breakthrough.

The set of medicine was known as the Dancer’s Bounty and was also a popular item within the Gift Register. It was unusual for acolytes to procure the entire set in one go as breaking through all of the lesser realms wasn’t a sure thing for many Sacred Daughters. But with Long Yifei, there was no reason to worry as she would definitely reach the Spirit Lord Realm.

Yang Gehu went next. His gift, as Chen Wentian expected, was the Wave Strider Robes. It was his most expensive gift remaining and he had sent it out to ensure a victory.

Abbotess Yang and her posse immediately started fawning over the robes like a group of puppies around a feeding bowl. They described the gift’s benefits for dancers over and over again until everyone was sick of hearing about it.

Still, Chen Wentian had to admit that it was indeed an impressive immortal item. It was considered an armor set, similar to Li Qingcheng’s Golden Serpent Robes. In terms of both quality and price, it was clearly superior to his pills.

“Challenger Yang Gehu wins the fourth round!” Li Shishi said soon after the judging finished.

“I told you.” Yang Gehu hissed at Chen Wentian, “I told you not to act so arrogantly. You thought you could win with those pitiful pills? My victory is now assured. You should just give up and leave now to save yourself the humiliation!”

Chen Wentian ignored his opponent who had missed the point completely. Even now, his opponent still had not realized what his limit was. He had willingly lost two rounds to let all of his enemies walk into his trap step by step. He had lost the fourth round so that he could win the fifth and last one with overwhelming force.

“My, my, what an exciting Gift Duel!” Li Shishi said excitedly, “Who could have thought that we would still be tied at this point? It is now the fifth round, the final showdown. Whoever wins this will win the Gift Duel. If the challenger Yang Gehu wins, Chen Wentian will no longer be an acolyte and be banished from the Order for a hundred years. If Chen Wentian wins, the challenger will be banished for a hundred years instead. Do you both understand the consequences?”

“Yes!” Both men replied.

“Good! Yang Gehu, you may present your final gift.”

The white sphere around his sphere fell away, revealing a thick tome that exuded two auras simultaneously, one icy like a snow storm and one sharp like a well-honed sword. Long Yifei was the first to recognize it as she had been very interested in it during the Gift Exhibit. Ironically, it had also been that night when Yang Gehu became infatuated with her.

“Abbotesses of the executive council, what I have here is the complete Snow Sword Dance that was created by my Yang Clan of Great Waves. It is the full text, not a word has been left out. It also includes many secrets and hints left by previous Dao of dance cultivators that used this tome. If Long Yifei cultivates this, she will be able to reach the Spirit Lord Realm in ten years at most!”

The Snow Sword Dance was a classic dance art known throughout the continent. It was one of the fundamental arts of the Yang Clan of Great Waves. Although it peaked at the entry-level of the Spirit Lord Realm, it held another secret. It was a precursor to the Blizzard Wave Dance, one of the preeminent and most powerful arts of the clan that allowed one to reach the Spirit Emperor Realm.

An outsider could only get their hands on the first few chapters of the Snow Sword Dance. A rich acolyte who was an ally of the clan might be able to buy a few more chapters if they were lucky. But only official members could get their hands on the full thing.

Yang Gehu gifting this to Long Yifei showed his desire and his shamelessness. He was blatantly coveting Long Yifei in front of everyone. The meaning of such a gift was that Long Yifei should hurry up and join the Yang Clan as his Sacred Daughter, that Chen Wentian’s time was over.

Few could find any fault in Yang Gehu’s conduct. In their eyes, Chen Wentian wasn’t worthy of Long Yifei. Only someone like Yang Gehu was worth a peerless talent like her. So what if it was shameless? powerful men were always shameless!

“Alright, we’ve heard enough for the challenger’s gift, let’s see what our acolyte has prepared.” Abbotess Li said, “Chen Wentian, show us.”

Then tension in the grand banquet hall rose to unbearable heights. This was the last gift, the moment of truth. Spiritual energies clashed together in the air as everyone focused on the white bubble that hid Chen Wentian’s last wager, that hid his fate.

The white bubble fell away.

The hall erupted.

“What is this?”

“Impossible!”

“How did you get that?”
