37 Opening of the Trial Grounds (2)

"Who is that kid following the Yan Clan's nine young masters. Does anyone know him."

"I can't detect his cultivation base. Is he stronger than us?"

"No way? That little kid? Maybe he just came here to watch."

Such conversations were heard from the crowd. Nevertheless, Rinley was so proud and her confidence was rising along with her ego.

Suddenly, the crowd parted and another group of five youths approached Rinley's group. Leading them was a lady wearing a sea blue dress, a jade plate with a waterdrop symbol was hanging on her waist.

The lady was definitely a devastating beauty-- the bewitching type with a lot of curves. Rinley looked at her chest and had an impulse to asked what the woman ate growing up for her to become so bountiful. She can definitely rival the white lotus when it comes to body shape and the white lotus' face, when compared to the lady in front of her seems to become a little plain.

The lady greeted the nine young masters and looked over at Rinley.

"Is this--" the woman hasn't eve0n finished asking when the fifth monkey answered yes while nodding.

"Hello, I am Tara from the He clan," the lady greeted Rinley. Tara He, She is the most talented among the young generation of the He Clan. She is known to be lazy when it comes to cultivation, However, she is still ranked second at the Junior Powerhouse list at the age of sixteen.

"Hello, you can call me Rio," Rinley answered.

Tara looked quizzically at fifth monkey only to see him shrugging. A slight doubt flashed through her eyes.

Of course, Tara has a guess on who this 'Rio' might be. A little kid following the Yan Clan's nine young masters in the trial grounds? With cultivation which seems to be higher than her own? There is only a person who fits the bill-- the eight-year-old girl genius of the Yan Clan, Rinley.

Although Rinley hasn't had her social debut yet, there were already several rumors about her among the ancient clans. Tara heard the girl reached foundation establishment just days after her eighth birthday. And only a month after that, her strength shot to half-a-step to immortal stage due to her ancestral baptism.

Tara and the several others from the ancient clan had a sudden understanding of why the Yan clan is hastily sending their nine young masters to the trial grounds after seeing Rinley's figure. Immortal cultivators are not allowed to enter the trial grounds. If this monstrous genius cultivates at her current pace, she will surely reach immortality within a year and miss her chance at the trial grounds.

However, cultivation is one thing, fighting is another. With her sudden increase in cultivation, Rinley is definitely not used to her current strength yet. And right now, her battle experience and fighting strength might be lower than even the youngest of the nine young masters. The Yan Clan must surely value their young miss, sending the nine to be her bodyguards. Only, why are there hiding her identity for? This is what Tara thinks.

Suddenly, an Immortal Saint along with two Immortal King cultivators appeared on a platform at the center of the square.

"Welcome participants! All of you must be knowledgeable about the rules so let's cut the useless chatter. Treasure hunters, form line on my right while the youths form a line on my left to get tested and get your trial pass. I'm warning all of you right now, those who attempt to hide their age and cultivation will receive a heavy punishment," the Immortal Saint said with a booming voice.

"Your trial pass can be said to be your second life. If you are faced with mortal danger, or if you decided to go out of the trial grounds, you can crush it and you will be instantly teleported outside. However, that does not mean that none of you will die. Almost every year 50 percent of the participants die before crushing the pass."
