nAfter a hundred people entered the platform, the barrier stopped anyone trying to enter. The situation inside was super tense. Each girl took a corner and prepared their most powerful spells or artifacts, letting them ready for use. No one made the first move though, initiating a fight would put you in a bad position.

nA lot of shouts and noises erupted around the stadium as the family and friends of each contestant inside started to cheer for them. However, there was something really strange. The quantity of men watching this event was surprisingly higher than the quantity of women.

nThis was a recruitment that only females would be able to participate, but there were no restrictions in regards to watching. It was incredible that this recruitment was more popular among men than women. Some of the guys around the stadium came here only to watch the fun, they had no ties with any contestant at all.

nThe public wanted to watch a bloodbath situation happening, but what actually happened was that after twenty minutes passed, there were still no signs of anyone moving to do the first attack. There wasn't a rule that it was mandatory to attack at all, so the tense atmosphere between the contestants remained unchanged.

nA lot of people started questioning about how things would turn out to be if all one hundred of them stayed there for more than thirty minutes. However, it was unnecessary.

nThe Eleventh Palace Master of the Glazed Lake, raised her hand and her powers started to concentrate getting very oppressive. The unbearable aura affected the people inside the barrier letting them taste what would happen to them if they didn't move. Some of them started to get dizzy, feeling useless. The powerlessness they felt before this aura, ingrained fear deep inside their minds.

nIt was just a warning from the Eleventh Palace Master, but the girls inside understood the message very thoroughly.

nNot even a second later, a fireball flew, striking a contestant that wasn't paying attention at her back. She was sent flying out of the barrier and crashed on the ground outside.

nThe city lord pointed a finger at her and some paramedics went to the place, starting the first aids very quickly.

nAfter that first attack, the platform turned into a messy battlefield. Every minute, someone would be knocked out or sent flying out of the barrier. Just after someone left, another girl would enter and start casting her defensive or offensive skill.

nThe Eleventh palace Master made sure to secretly save any contestant life just before a fatal blow. They would be sent out of the barrier and disqualified at such scenarios.

nThe battle started to escalate into new heights. At some point, it wasn't so different from a death match between gladiators. The skills were slightly more elegant and refined, lacking a bit in power, but in the end, the results were as bloody as if it were a bunch of male mercenaries fighting.

nThe majority part of the crowd loved the battle, only those who were caring for someone within the contestants, were anxious.

nSometimes there would be some skin show that would make the crowd go wild.

nJust like that almost six hours passed and impressively only six contestants managed to survive for half an hour on that battlefield.

nLilian and Caizhi have been watching the event since the beginning. They were not so naïve and innocent to be shaken up by such a fierce combat. This was in the end, a world that would respect the strong and prey on the weak.

nThe things were about to heathen up again, but out of nowhere everything became silent, as if something had just stolen all the sound.

nThe entire stadium looked up, even the contestants inside the platform stopped their fight to look at the skies.

nHovering in the air, there was a woman with an angelic body and aura, donned in a white robe. She was wearing a veil that was hiding most parts of her face. Only those ocean blue eyes were there on display. There was no need to show anything more than that though, those eyes enraptured the attention of everyone that looked at her and deep in their hearts, they were already worshipping her as a goddess.

nShe slowly descended, stopping near the Eleventh Palace Master of the Glazed Lake sect. The woman revered as an almighty palace master immediately bowed with utmost respect.

n

"Sect Master, the competition is almost over.

"

nThe woman just nodded.

nHer vivid blue eyes shone with a mysterious light and she directed her look to the audience, stopping directly where Lilian and Caizhi stood. People was looking directly at her without blinking, fearing that if they lost a single second, they would regret it, but their vision simply seemed to fail them, because she disappeared.

nNot a single person saw how did she appear near Caizhi and Lilian, not even both of the girls.

nThe goddess looked at Caizhi and asked:

"What is your name, graceful lady?

"

nCaizhi was utterly shocked, she never thought someone so powerful would interact with her here, attracting the attention of a whole city towards them. Caizhi was the kind of person that loved peace and tranquility.

n

"H-Hi, my name is Wu Caizhi.

" After the initial shock, she managed to blurt out some words.

n

"I see, you came from the Blazing Phoenix Sect, then, you must be Huo Lilian right?

" Her eyes shone with a weak blue light that seemed to penetrate and discover whatever she wanted.

nLilian hastily nodded:

"It's an immense pleasure to meet you senior. I don't want to be rude but, are you perhaps the Deep Lake Goddess?

"

n

"Oh? Well, it is just a title I received from people, don't mind it that much.

"

nWith this acknowledgement, the people that could hear their conversation started to go crazy, their eyes shone with admiration.

n

"Caizhi, I was observing the event and by chance found out that you have a good talent, a gem that need to be polished. I just happen to have some free time and was searching for such a person to appear. What do you think? Want to join my Glazed Lake sect? I'll make sure to train you myself.

"

nThe crowd went crazy, but no one had the courage to make a single sound right now.
