Chapter 235 - Earthly Beginning & Heavenly End (2) (2/2)

-----

Yan Zaizen felt his body feel lighter than a feather. As a cultivator of his level, it was odd. After all, their bodies, if dropped from ten feet without control, his dense and powerful body could crush Mount Tai.

His feet touched the ground suddenly and the light that engulfed his senses faded. When it completely vanished, he looked around to see the forty other competitors who weren't far apart. However, they no longer had their original clothes.

”This?” Yan Zaizen checked his current attire. It was a golden martial art outfit. Completely gold. It felt like silk on his skin and looked like it too. The others had varying uniforms, some outfits were silver and others were golden. The styles differed slightly. For example, there was one golden attire that had light armor above it.

There was a silver attire with a cape, one with no shoes, and even one with long sleeves. He even found a girl who had no sleeves. She had outrageously large breasts in a similar way as Lang Xue and a fit body that trumped Lang Xue. From her pupils, Yan Zaizen knew she was a divine beast in human form.

Ma Xiuren attracted his attention even further. She had various flowers embroidered on her silver outfit, and her slim and graceful body truly accentuated her beauty. It complimented her countenance and black hair perfectly.

He couldn't help but appraise her. As if feeling his eyes, she turned towards Yan Zaizen and slightly smiled with a hint of awkwardness. Witnessing this, Yan Zaizen felt odd in his heart. It was like an admirer and suitor were trying to pursue a woman that didn't wish for his affection.

”When did I become the side-character who's interested in the girl but…” As he quietly lamented his circumstance, he recalled the stories he used to read. How the hero would destroy the handsome, talented young master in trials of fire and win the heart of the woman. Later, the younger master would be killed by the hero.

Thinking of this, he looked around to see several men that could fit the hero situation. However, one person, in particular, fit this even greater. It was a young man with black hair and black eyes, he was slim and rather handsome, but he could be overlooked. However, he had that aura of a rare once-in-a-lifetime genius.

From what he remembered, this man wasn't a part of the original forty. His slumber allowed him to gain a spot...this caused him to wonder.

His delusions aside, he looked at his hands. On the backside of them were two characters. The first one, on his left hand, was the character 'heaven'. His other hand had 'zero' character.

”A number?” He was curious about this. The number was drawn in golden coloring and seems to be etched onto his skin. As if it existed between the skin and muscles.

”Bajie, are you willing to make a bet?” The girl, who was big-breasted and fit, spoke with provocation in her voice. The man named Bajie was a divine beast, his hair was completely white but his skin was dark black in a similar way to Syi.

”...” Bajie had a cool expression. He didn't respond but looked elsewhere. In front of them, three monoliths that seemed to reach about twenty meters high stood.

Yan Zaizen recognized that this area was a sub-dimensional space. The walls were unseen, as if this was a world without limits. It was a flat ground with white floors and black sky. Despite the sky being black, the floors emanated a light that wasn't too strong. It was capable of allowing him to see all within his visual range.

”If I, Tayla, score higher than you on this test, then you'll have to be my husband!” The divine beast female, Tayla, spat out with vigor and greed. When she looked at Bajie, it was in a similar way to a man looks at a beautiful woman.

”...” Yan Zaizen felt like this knowledge of the world was turning upside down. This woman was a beauty that could rival Lang Xue with assets that many desired. Yet...she was trying to bet against a man to get HIS hand in marriage?

Shockingly, no one else had his expression. Some even had mockery on their faces when they looked at Tayla, as if SHE was overestimating herself.

Bajie nodded but didn't say anything in response. Tayla's eyes grew excited and determined. This was a small interlude, but it seemed to have sparked a set of bets.

A young man, handsome and dressed in light armor, spoke to another woman. He offered the bet to become married if he won in the same way as Tayla, and the woman insulted him. Many snickered but she later agreed, unwilling to believe herself inferior to that young man.

Yan Zaizen couldn't help but laugh a little. This event took place amongst four different parties, one of which even had two female divine beasts going after a human male. This truly shocked him. However, when he looked towards this man, he realized he had a slight resemblance to Shi Yan.

Before anything else could be said, a burly man with a body as ferocious as a mountain walked towards Ma Xiuren. This man was actually the Earthly Beginning participant of the Xiuhei force.

”Ma Xiuren, I challenge you. If I win, you'll become my second wife, but if I lose, my family shall give you their regalia! I can swear a heavenly oath!” This burly man shouted. The others looked over with interest. For some reason, Yan Zaizen felt a little angry at trying to make her your SECOND wife. Just as he was about to step forward, Ma Xiuren nodded.

”...” Yan Zaizen was caught off-guard. Was this a pretty standard thing to bet? Should he bet? If he did, to who and for what? In the end, he didn't do it. For one, he didn't even know what they were actually betting on and Ma Xiuren wasn't his.

Whenever they looked at each other, she would give him that awkward smile. It rattled his heart a little. As he thought of this, Pinaka's form appeared in his mind. ”She was ejected from my soul?” Just as he was about to investigate more, a voice filled with ancientness as if it would be there and always will be resounded.

”Trial One: Trial of Source Potential - BEGIN!” Wisps of light emerged from the void and with speed that was too fast to react, it entered the participant's souls, Yan Zaizen included. Within this wisp was information about the trial.
