Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A resplendent golden flight of stairs stood tall above the golden battle stage and at the apex of the platform, three teams proudly stood as they received countless stares from the masses.

Silence permeated the air as glances were directed towards the teams, with many people’s eyes widening at the scene before them.

At the third step of the golden stairs stood five beautiful girls. The girl standing right in front instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.

The lady held a golden spear, her black hair cascading down her shoulders. Golden armor accentuated her slender and soft figure, and her ethereal beauty was as pretty as a painting. Pride shone in her mesmerizing eyes, and her neck was fair and elegant, resembling that of a swan. She was well endowed, with voluptuous curves, a slim waist and long shapely legs. She was a vision.

Although the four girls beside her were rather charming, standing next to her they seemed downright ordinary, as she was so captivating.

Countless eyes were glued to her, along with many heated gazes.

“Wow!”

When this team appeared, cheers erupted from the direction where the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy was located. It was essentially the most conspicuous area of this vast region, as many young girls rejoiced with excitement. This team was a representative of their Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

Upon hearing the gleeful cheers from the girls, students from the other Spiritual Academies couldn’t help but glance towards them with yearning in their eyes. After all, in the Five Great Academies, the favorite place of many male disciples was undeniably the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy. No man could resist the allure of being surrounded by many beautiful ladies.

“As expected, Senior Qingxuan got into the top three!”

“Hehe, she’s truly worthy to be the person I admire most.”

“But I thought Sister Qingxuan could clinch the top position. It seems like there are many hidden masters in this Spiritual Academy Competition.”

Amidst the soft and gentle murmuring, people finally started to shift their glances upwards where they saw a majestic team standing on the second step of the golden stairs.

Every member of the team wore white robes and exuded imposing auras. However, their faces were not filled with joy and excitement, but instead had downcast expressions. The leader had an especially livid expression.

“Saint Spiritual Academy wins the second position in the competition’s elimination phase!”

“Their captain is Ji Xuan, right? I heard of him long ago. He was forecast as the candidate most likely to be the champion. How did he fall to second position?”

“I’m not sure…”

“If even Ji Xuan is in second place, exactly who is in first place?”

Amidst the uproar, everyone’s gazes abruptly shifted upwards, finally stopping to focus on the apex of the golden stairs. All attention locked onto this most prominent point in the area.

As the gazes converged, golden light dissipated, revealing five silhouettes as they came clearly into sight.

The captain was an adolescent, dressed in navy blue robes. He stood tall and upright like a spear, and was boyishly handsome. His obsidian eyes were as dark as the night sky. Despite his young age, his facial features were unlike that of a greenhorn, instead having resilience and confidence that was mature for his age.

Be it his appearance or the aura he exuded, he was on par with Ji Xuan from the Saint Spiritual Academy.

Standing beside the youth was a graceful figure. She wore a similar long, navy blue dress which accentuated her svelte curves, easily enthralling many.

What amazed the crowd, however, was that her beauty was on par with Wen Qingxuan’s. Her complexion was as fair as snow, and she had delicate eyebrows resembling the curve of a crescent moon, a body as slender as a light willow and eyes shimmering innocently like azure crystals. Her beautiful eyes had a magical charm, enchanting many as they forgot about their troubles upon gazing at her.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind and in that instant, everyone had the same thought, consisting of two words: absolutely exquisite.

Facing such an exceptional beauty, even the girls at the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy, who had impossibly high standards, were at a loss for words and did not dare to flippantly compare her to Wen Qingxuan.

Standing beside the girls was a lovely lady with long hair pouring down her shoulders. She had a particularly gentle charm. Although she was not as stunning as the former, she was still rather charismatic.

Next to them stood two tall young men, one handsome and the other arrogant. One glance and you would know that they were no ordinary men. No matter their aura or appearance, this team would have left people astonished.

It was as if the world stood still and silent for a moment while they were awestruck by this team standing at the zenith.

“It’s our team from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy!”
