Chapter 12: Chapter 12: About The Selection

"The selection is simple; there are three stages. A Cultivation test, a Spirit Root test, and a combat test." Ariel tells him.

"I see... and the requirements?"

"You need to pass each test before advancing to the next. For the Cultivation test, it’s based on age. Azure Cloud Sect only accepts new disciples up to twenty-three years old."

"From what I know, 15-17 years-old, their minimum should be at Third Level of Elementary Spirit Realm. For 18-20 years-old, the minimum should be at Fifth Level of Elementary Spirit Realm. Lastly, 21-23 years-old the minimum should be at Seventh Level of Elementary Spirit Realm."

"Then, are you confident that you will pass the selection?"

"I don’t really know, Damon. To be honestly, I’m just an above average for my age, compared to others. I probably—"

Her shoulders dropped, and her gaze slowly drifting down as the words trailed from her lips.

Damon’s hands were already moving, with his hands under her arms, he lift her from her seat and turning her until her face onto his face.

"Ariel, you don’t have to worry about any of that. You are Damon’s woman now, and I can make you a genius. Do you believe me?"

Faced with that confidence, Ariel felt the tension on her shoulder slowly fade away, and a new warm and certain feeling settling in its place.

"Mmm... I believe in you, Damon." As she leans on his chest and warp her arm around him.

They continue to stay like that for a while. While at it, Damon turned his attention inward.

’System, how much does a pill that upgrades spiritual roots cost?’

[Spiritual Root Advancement Pill, Elementary Grade - Flawless will cost you 500 lust points.]

’Buy two of them. And what kind of bloodline and physique fits Ariel the best?’

’System, I just noticed, why are all the bloodlines and physiques all in Mortal Grade - Low, while all the pills are all in flawless?’

[In the Lust Store, every pill is of the highest possible quality for maximum effect, which is why they are all of flawless purity. As for bloodlines and physiques, each one is unique.

’Alright then, buy the Sea Princess Bloodline and Physique.’

After he was done with that, he grabbed Ariel plump butt and stand up from the tub while lifting her with him.

"Let’s go out now. We need to prepare for the selection."

****

In the room, both of them now in their clothes while sit on the bed facing each other.

"Ariel," Damon grab her in his arms and sealed her lips with a kiss before pulling away.

"If I do anything to you, can you promise me not to ask a question or the detail?" With those words, her confusion only deepened further.

’What did Damon mean by doing something? And why couldn’t she ask questions?’

"Ah..." Damon realized this confusion and lowered his head.

"I have something that can increase your spiritual roots grade and help you cultivate faster, but it can only be used with you... I want you to promise me not to ask any questions or the detail about it."

Ariel hesitated, thinking it was some kind of joke, but as soon as he saw Damon’s serious look, her heart raced.

’Something capable of enhancing someone’s talent? Is it about what he told me in the bath? Did he really have something that incredible?’

"I believe you, Damon. Whatever you do to me, it’s for me, right? Don’t worry, I promise, Damon," she replied, her heart full of confidence in Damon.

"Good." Damon moved his head toward her head until his forehead touched her.

Then, using the Mind Transmission Technique, the Yin-Yang Harem Scripture flows into her mind. She was shocked she didn’t know that there was such a cultivation method that was full of pleasure.

"Damon... this—" Before she could finish, Damon bought out two pills.

"Next, eat this."

She looked at the two pills in Damon’s hand. She grabbed the pill and ate it.

Then she could feel a flow of spiritual energy swirling around her in a ring and growing denser with every passing second before rushing into her.

She could feel that her spiritual roots were getting stronger and stronger. She was about to say something, but Damon had already moved.

Grabbing Ariel, he pulled her dress down her shoulders, revealing her modest breasts, whose pink nipples poked gently as they were freed from the fabric covering them.

Suppressing the temptation to push her down, he pulled her into his embrace instead.

"What comes next will hurt... do you think you can endure it?"

Ariel flinched at those words yet clenched her jaw.

"I... I believe, I can," she muttered as his firm hands hold her back. At that moment, a torrent of energy surged from his palms, and went into her entire body.

"Mmph... Ahhh!" her delicate body tremble and a groan of pain came out of her mouth as every piece of her body seemed to be broken down slowly.

Damon’s chest tightened but his hands didn’t move and allowed the process to continue.

This was the world of cultivation; it was merciless and indifferent. Those born weak and untalented were destined for nothing but an early grave.
