Chapter 145: I found You

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Fang saw the projection of a magnificent creature. It danced in the air as it flapped its wings, and its body lit up the entire night sky.

'A Phoenix.'

Xiao Fang stood there speechless. He looked down at his arm to confirm what Xiao Hei said, then he saw it himself, his spirit mark was really lighting up.

"I thought the elder said the Tiger class was the highest we could get," Xiao Hei said enviously.

While the phoenix was still dancing in the air, people started to notice someone walking towards the stage.

"Hey, isn't that Bai Fan?"

Hearing Bai Fan's name, Li Xiang turned to see where she was. When she finally saw her she was about to call out her name, but stopped when she noticed that her spirit mark was lighting up. Feeling defeated, Li Xiang put her hand down, and watched as Bai Fan got further away from her. Even though they weren't friends, they considered each other as rivals. However, seeing Bai Fan on that stage made Li Xiang feel inferior to her.

When Bai Fan made it to the stage, she noticed that she wasn't alone. Zhao Pan had gotten there first.

Zhao Pan had a very domineering and fierce appearance, she didn't look like the kind of person someone would want to mess with. Her appearance on the stage was a bit disappointing to many of the inner court disciples watching from the stands, because the spirit and body cultivators always fought against each other in the inner court.

...

In the past, the Black Paradise sect only accepted spirit cultivating girls, but ever since the sect became the weakest out of the top 13 sects in the country, they started to accept both body cultivators and men into the sect.

Although they were being accepted into the sect, the men were discriminated against, while the body cultivators were being targeted and brutally attacked. Since many of the elders also felt the same way about body cultivators, they usually didn't investigate these attacks or they would just give the attackers light punishments if the offense was bad enough.

Zhao Pan was only 20 years old, but there was already a dangerous and unapproachable vibe about her. The inner court disciples in the audience could already tell that they would be no match against her, but there wasn't an ounce of fear from the girls that were currently in the Phoenix class. When they saw Zhao Pan, they just saw another person they could bully, so they were already plotting against her. If the sect had already put Zhao Pan into the Phoenix class that meant that she wasn't someone they could underestimate. They couldn't afford to wait, they needed to deal with her quickly before she got too strong.

...

{"Xiao Fang, aren't you going?"} Xiao Hei asked.

As it turned out, Xiao Fang was directly placed in the Phoenix class, so his talents would sooner or later be revealed.

"It seems I can't hide anymore."

{"Fang?"}

Xiao Fang came out of [ Stealth ] then started walking towards the stage.

As Xiao Fang was walking through the crowd of disciples, a few of them noticed the light on his arm.

"Another one?"

"Who is that?"

The girls in the audience also saw Xiao Fang, but one Phoenix-class disciple in particular looked at Xiao Fang with a special gaze.

Similar to the colour of her nails, she had long Black hair with crimson red ends. Since she always wore all black, she had a very sexy but intimidating look. She was 172cm tall, B-cup, 22 years old and her name was Chen Li.

Sitting back on her chair, Chen Li sucked on a sugarcane as she was getting a foot massage from another disciple. The female disciple that was giving Chen Li a foot massage was on her knees, but she was also from the Phoenix Class like her.

Chen Li took the candy out of her mouth then licked her lips when she saw Xiao Fang walking towards the stage.

"It seems this is going to be an interesting year after all."

Chen Li uncrossed her legs and spread them apart enough for the girl on her knees to see what was in between. The girl had a worried expression on her face as she could guess what Chen Li wanted, but her hesitation only made Chen Li frown. In the next moment, Chen Li grabbed her hair then pulled her head into her skirt. She wasn't wearing any panties, so the girl could feel Chen Li's smooth naked pussy on her lips. Realizing that her efforts were futile, she finally gave Chen Li what she wanted and began to lick her sacred fruit obediently.

Chun Li patted the girl on the head as if to comfort her, "There, there. That wasn't so hard was it. Don't worry, it looks like someone else will be taking over your place pretty soon," she said as she looked at Xiao Fang.

The girls sitting next to her knew what she was making the girl do, but they just acted as if they didn't see anything. Chen Li wasn't just someone with a strong backer, she was also one of the youngest geniuses in the sect and the strongest disciple in the Phoenix class.

Many of her classmates expected her to be put into the Dragon class this year, but she didn't pass the test, in fact, no one did. There was an accident involving another sect that prevented any of the Dragon Class disciples from making it into the Core Court. Since there could only be 20 disciples in the Dragon class, the only way Chen Li could get into that class was if she could take one of their seats. However, since the things the Dragon Class learned was far more advanced than what Chen Li learned in the Phoenix class, she wasn't just unable to beat any of them. They had completely humiliated her.

Stuck with Chen Li for another year, the Phoenix Class disciples could do nothing but hope that she made it into the Dragon Class next year. Every one of the 20 Dragon class disciples were absolute monsters, surely one of them would put her in her place.

...

Xiao Fang was now walking up the steps to the stage. When Li Xiang noticed him, she gasped in surprise. Unlike with Bai Fan, Li Xiang was actually happy to see him standing on the stage. She knew there was something special about him.

"Long Wang, you're amazing!" She cheered.

The other girls heard Li Xiang's cheers.

"Long Wang? Is that his name?" The girls began to wonder.

Contrary to Li Xiang's reaction, the crowd only murmured to themselves.

"Is it a mistake?"

"Normally, only the daughters of supreme elders or extremely talented disciples could be placed directly into the Phoenix class. I didn't see him in the top 5 in the first or second round. Could he be the son of a supreme elder?"

"I don't think so. I've never heard of him before."

"Neither have I."

No one in the audience knew who he was. The more they realized that, the more they were confident that it was a mistake. However, there were a few inner court elders that could recognize him, but since their dealings with him were shady, they stayed relatively quiet about knowing who he was.

Since no one saw Xiao Fang walk out of the same door Li Xiang did, they all assumed that he did the same ordinary test everyone else did. So if he wasn't in the top 10 it didn't make sense that he would be put into that class. Also, since no one knew who he was, they were confident that he wasn't the son of any supreme elders in the sect.

The crowd continued to stare at Xiao Fang. There were hardly any men in the sect, fewer men in classes, but there were absolutely none in the Phoenix class. The elders and disciples discretely made sure of that.

The illusory beast in the sky finally returned back into the 4th crystal, then the chatter began to get louder.

Based on what Xiao Fang could hear, it seemed that most of them were wondering the same thing. Was it a mistake?

Zhao Pan's general dislike of men made it so that she didn't even care to look at him when he walked up to the stage.

"Hm? Bai Fan... why is your face so red," Zhao Pan noticed.

"It's nothing," Bai Fan replied quietly.

Zhao Pan could tell it wasn't 'nothing', but she didn't care enough about other people's business to get too involved, so she ignored her.

Xiao Fang wasn't wearing the same ripped robes as before. Although he loved having his arms unrestricted by the loose fabrics, he felt it was inappropriate to wear it during the exam.

To Xiao Fang's surprise, many of the girls didn't recognize him. Even the girls that did, it was only a hunch. Since his sculpted physique, violet eyes, and handsome face was mostly hidden by his new robes, blindfold, and hair. There were only a handful of disciples that were able to recognize him. However, when the crowd started referring to him as Long Wang, they were starting to have doubts.

What Xiao Fang was forgetting was that the girls he did dual cultivate with had only seen him once, and the most defining feature about him wasn't his face or incredible physique, but his violet eyes. It was enchanting to the point that it was the only thing they could remember.

Furthermore, Xiao Fang had only dual cultivated with about a quarter of the girls standing around the stage, and most of them preferred to sleep with him with the lights off, just like Chun Hua did the first time he did it with her.

Despite all these reasons as to why they might have not been able to recognize him, he was still a bit confused by it.

'Most cultivators have a fairly decent memory, could the reason they forgot have anything to do with my eyes?' He wondered.

Xiao Fang had only recently learned about the [ charm ] effect his eyes had, so he was always wondering what else they were capable of.

Xiao Fang was actually relieved and a bit happy that they couldn't recognize him. Judging by the girl's reactions it seemed that he could start anew in the inner court.

As Xiao Fang, Bai Fan, and Zhao Pan were waiting to receive their reward from the elder, Xiao Fang noticed that Bai Fan was being a bit fidgety. She eventually built up the courage to turn and face him.

"You're him... aren't you," Bai Fan asked vaguely.

Xiao Fang quickly recognized Bai Fan, it wasn't hard to forget a cold beauty like her. Back when he was trying to get Jiang Mei's attention, he tried to find the most beautiful girl in the outer court so that he would have a better chance at getting Jiang Mei's attention. Unlike the other girls, Bai Fan was a lot harder for him to attract, but in the end she also fell victim to his [ charm ].

With his head turned slightly in her direction, he replied somewhat harshly.

"Who I am is none of your business."

Bai Fan was a bit taken aback by Xiao Fang's words. She never expected him to reply to her like that.

'Is he really the same person?' she thought.

She knew he had the same appearance as Da Long, but his aura was completely different. What she was feeling was his Death Reaper aura, it was a dark and sinister aura bubbling up inside of him. At first, Xiao Fang didn't think much about it, but the longer he went without cultivating the Death Reaper method after killing those disciples, the harder it was to control himself.

'Whether he is Da Long or not, really is no concern to me,' Bai Fan thought.

They had only hooked up once. Since she tried it she didn't have any more excuses not to move on. She didn't want to be like those other girls that were obsessed with him.

'It really is none of my business since I never planned to do that sort of thing with him again,' she thought. Finally thinking clearly, she realized that he was right to act that way, and she was a bit glad he did.

Despite what she thought, Xiao Fang was getting a bit worried. All the negative energy he got from the 20 disciples he killed was starting to affect the way he spoke. He needed to cultivate it quickly before he did anything too troublesome.

A few steps away, Zhao Pan was watching him silently. She was curious as to why Bai Fan would bother talking to Xiao Fang considering her reputation as being an unapproachable goddess in the outer court.

Zhao Pan had her arms crossed as she curiously stared at Xiao Fang. Of course, Xiao Fang noticed this, but considering how much his Death Reaper method was affecting him, he wanted to avoid any more confrontations for now.

Xiao Fang collected his reward from the elder, then walked off the stage. However, after he got off the stage, the corner of Zhao Pan's lips began to curve upwards.

'I found you.'
