Chapter 229:

They continued speaking about Yasenia's cooking skills until they reached another location with a Trial. It was in the middle of a plaza. This one was smaller than the other, at 4 meters in height. The formations on it were less complex; this could be discerned with the naked eye.

As they did with the previous Monolith, Yasenia and the others walked toward it, not caring about the queue. This time, no one stopped them. Even though some people gave them a stink eye, there wasn't anyone who cared enough to stop them. Moreover, Yasenia was releasing a passive aura, letting people know that she wasn't a pushover.

When they came close, they saw people attacking the Monolith. It seemed to be for measuring strength. Each time someone hit it, a number made of energy would appear on top of the Monolith. If you went over a certain number, it would become an energy stream and go inside the cultivator, giving them Trial Points.

Yasenia read the rules aloud. "The Physical Trial. Only attacks that aren't enhanced by external sources are allowed. For the Waste Gate Cultivators, 40 Strength Points are needed to pass and gain 2 Trial Points. Mortal Gate cultivators need 80 Strength Points to gain 5 Trial Points. Earth Gate cultivators need 140 Strength Points to gain 10 Trial Points. Heaven Gate cultivators need 200 Strength Points to gain 20 Trial Points."

Yasenia raised her eyebrow, "Do you think we can abuse this monolith to win points?"

Kali frowned and said, "It shouldn't be this easy to abuse something created by a powerful senior, right? There must be a catch."

Angel offered, "Yasenia, how about we watch for a while first? We can challenge it whenever we want anyway."

Yasenia nodded, "Sure, we will do as you say."

And so, they decided to watch other people challenge it before trying it themselves.

The first person that approached it stood before the Monolith, full of confidence. He wasn't very tall or muscular, but like most cultivators, he had compact muscles after constantly training. He took it slow and gathered energy. His fist roared with blue energy as he punched forward.

*Bam!*

The fist landed on the Monolith, creating an air shockwave. Then the Monolith's formations lit up with a weak light. That light spilled from the formation lines and gathered atop the Monolith. Then, it changed forms and transformed into the number 126.

This number flickered and dissolved midair, becoming an energy stream and rushing toward the man's dantian. The man had entered through the Mortal Gate, so this counted as passing it with flying colors. He was satisfied with his performance."Nice! Five Trial Points!"

Then, he gathered energy one more time and punched out . This time, he didn't put in as much effort, knowing that he had more than enough strength to overcome it.

*Bam!*

The light that spilled from the formation rushed upward and transformed into the 105 number, but to the cultivator's surprise, it exploded in light and didn't go toward his dantian. The man was surprised and then enraged. "Huh? What happened? Isn't the value to pass 80? This shit is broken!"

Yasenia also frowned for a second and then understood. "Could it be that you won't gain points if you hit it with less strength than your previous blow?"

The others agreed with Yasenia's approach. They continued watching him without intervening. Someone that went through the Mortal Gate had three attempts for each Monolith, so he still had one blow left.

This time, the man didn't hold back and used his whole strength, coupled with his strengthening skills, to create a powerful hit. The blue aura was much more imposing than before. Then, his fist burst forward and landed with more power than the first one!

Lei Yi spoke to Angel instead of Yasenia. "You truly have a big mouth! Do you really think she can beat me with those scrawny arms? I think they would break the moment she punches the Monolith, hahaha."

Angel got tickled in the wrong way and refuted, "What scrawny arms!? She can punch you to the moon and back with the same strike!"

The man laughed and said, "Then do you dare bet with me?"

Angel folded her arms under her breasts, emphasizing them, and lifted her chin. "Say the bet first! Do not think I will accept something at random!" Yasenia thought that she looked extremely cute and almost couldn't hold herself back from glomping her in a hug.

The man said with a taunting tone. "It is not much; I will compete with that dragon girl over there. The one you said that could beat me. If I lose, I will give you 400 trial points! However, I want to have a night alone with that dragon girl if you lose!"

Angel was first stunned and then became enraged, "You what!? I'm going to kill you, bastard! Do you think you are worthy to even touch the edge of my Yasenia's skirt!? You are not even worthy of being her broom slave! Worse, 400 Points!? Not even 400 000 000 Points would be enough for me to accept that bet!"

The man's face turned black for a moment; he hadn't been insulted like that in a long time. Nevertheless, he regained his confident face almost instantly, 'If she is so worked up, she mustn't have too much confidence in her. I bet she said those things previously to cater up to the seductive goddess.'

Thinking that way, he continued taunting, "So much for 'she can beat me easily.' Hahaha, you don't even dare to accept a bet!"

Angel was about to retort that it wasn't that she didn't dare but that the bet was too insulting. Regardless, before she could speak, Yasenia stopped her, placing her hand on her head softly. Like a deflated balloon, all of Angel's anger dissipated with the wind, and she squinted comfortably as Yasenia's soft hand caressed her long blonde hair. Yasenia looked at the man with a smirk and said, "I will accept the bet for her, but let's change the betting stakes. What do you say?"

The man sneered, "I won't move my stake! If you want to bet, you will have to become mine for a night!"

Yasenia nodded calmly, "Don't worry, the thing I want to change is what I win if you lose."

The man was surprised. 'How can she remain so calm and accept the bet?'

However, he motioned Yasenia to speak, curious about what she would want from him. 'Maybe she is interested in me, and that's why she stopped her companion? Hahaha, not only does she have the body of a vixen, she is a slut herself.'

Lei Yi saw Yasenia speak with a seductive smile. What he couldn't see was the danger that Yasenia's smile carried underneath. "If I win, I don't want Trial Points. I just want to punch you once with all my strength. What do you say?"

The people who knew who Yasenia was felt extreme pity for the man. 'A female dragon with a bloodline level unheard of in the Sky Continent. Daughter of one of the strongest cultivators in the Continent. With enough talent to reach the Mental Nourishing realm at just 21 years old. If the man accepts, he is doomed!'

The man was surprised for a second, 'So she really is interested in me! How could she put forth such a small punishment otherwise? I'm going to have a fun night!'

Lei Yi laughed aloud and said, "Hahaha, sure, sure! Swear it to the heavens!"

Yasenia moved some locks of her black hair behind her ear in a charming movement and smiled. "Let's swear at the same time. I don't like people playing tricks with me."

That gesture was too charming, and the man couldn't wait to agree, oblivious of the impending doom! After seeing Yasenia's body and face, he felt his blood rush toward his lower part, depriving his brain of thinking capabilities. His brain was full of imagining himself pressing her down as she cried under him.

Then, both spoke aloud and swore at the same time, completing the bet. Yasenia's smile widened, 'I wonder what his ring has? More treasures for me~.' That was the main reason Yasenia accepted. She wanted his treasures.
