Chapter 114. Cecile's new strenght.

Meanwhile, Kali got confused again. 'Is it necessary to show off like this?'

This time, Cecile explained with a cold face, "She doesn't want people barring our path anymore. A show of strength will deter all those low-level, high ego ants that lust for my mate. I sometimes have this urge to take my bow and shoot around."

Tatyana, who was listening, smirked, "I knew you could do it! Welcome to my ranks!"

Cecile got confused but answered nonetheless. "Um… Thank you, I guess?"

Tatyana said with a smile, "Don't worry! I will educate you, so you don't indiscriminately kill~. We don't want you to become the wrong Yandere type! You will become a nice and fluffy Yandere~. My little treasure is truly fearsome to think that you changed from kudere to yandere in just some months."

The rest couldn't help but question In their heads, 'What the hell are those terms that she randomly says from time to time?'

On the other side, Cecile was happy, 'Personal guidance from Tatyana? I couldn't ask anything better. I don't care what I become if I can protect Yasenia!'

This time, instead of going to the normal stands, they went to a private room reserved by Tatyana. When they reached their room, they looked around, impressed.

The room had a pair of red couches, a table between the couches, and a single jade crystal in the middle. The room's main color was white with some grey accents, and the furniture beside the couches was black.

After that roar, Yasenia had calmed down from her motivation burst. She reached one sofa and said, "Andrea, sit!" And Andrea sat.

Yasenia moved her soft butt and planted it on her lap. Andrea chuckled and hugged her from behind with her chin resting on Yasenia's shoulder. Yasenia felt something lacking, and at that moment, Angel approached and looked at Yasenia with her soft blue eyes. The tail moved instantaneously, lifted Angel by the waist, and then carried her onto Yasenia's lap. "Now, that is more like it! How could I not have my baby on my lap?"

Kali wanted to sit a little further, but she heard Yasenia's voice, "Honey, come sit here~ I want to ask a little about your healing skills, bloodline, and constitution."

Of course, Yasenia just wanted an excuse to have Kali near her. However, she asked what she had just said; she didn't want to lie to her, even for these little matters. She grabbed Kali's hand and asked, "So, what bloodline and constitution do you have, honey?"

Kali said, a little shy, "Umm, my constitution is called [Thousand Flowers]. My constitution is what mainly supports my [Flower bed] and makes it as effective as it is. It also gives me a very high affinity with nature and strengthens my healing skills."

Tatyana said, "That is a rare constitution. Your gardening must have also benefited from it. Little treasure, when Kali gets a spatial ring that has its environment inside to plant herbs, give them to her. She will be able to grow them better than your ring."

Yasenia nodded, "But of course! The herbs I'm growing are for Evelyn and Kali~."

Kali and Evelyn smiled, and Kali asked, "Which herbs do you have?"

Yasenia took out some paper sheets filled with the names of the herbs. Kali looked through them and exclaimed, "Wow! You have some very rare plants... [Poisonous Violet], [Life Sucking Grass], [Blood refining Rose]... How did you get these rare herbs?"

Yasenia answered, "I killed a half-step of the Thousand Poison Sect and plundered his treasures."

Kali nodded, "That one you told me about b-before the..."

Andrea smirked and said, "Yes, before you were caught in our dragoness clutches."

Kali blushed, and the rest laughed. Yasenia asked, "What about your bloodline?"

Kali answered, "Even if I sound crazy, I-I'm not lying, okay? Many people don't believe me..."

Yasenia said, "Say it, honey. I will believe you even if you say that you have a goddess bloodline!"

Kali coughed, "Well, you are not too far off... My bloodline is [Life's origin Nine Tailed Fox]..."

Silence reigned in the room as everyone's eyes opened widely. Tatyana said, impressed, "Wow... Little treasure, this time you struck the jackpot..."

Angel stuttered as she said, "I-Isn't that the rarest variant of nine-tailed foxes?"

Cecile said, "Nine Tailed foxes. They are at the level of phoenixes and dragons. However, they are normally lightning, fire, or darkness attributed..."

Kali nodded and said, "Y-yes, my variant is one of the first creatures that appeared in the world..."

Tatyana said, "No wonder your [Golden Crown] evolved... I knew you had a high-level bloodline, but I didn't think it was also an extremely rare one."

Yasenia's smile widened and made space on her other leg for Kali to sit there. Then she glomped her baby and Kali in her embrace, laughing happily and thinking, 'Our babies will be super strong~.'

Kali was surprised that there wasn't even a little bit of skepticism coming from the girls present. Then, while Yasenia pressed her in her embrace, Kali looked at her, and her lips arched happily and made a wish with all her heart, making her bloodline respond. 'I-It seems I truly found my home... I wish Yasenia becomes my resting place from today until the day I die.'

Tatyana's eyes flashed white, and she was surprised to see Kali's fate strings interlocked with Yasenia's tightly, 'Her fate interlocked with Yasenia's? Well, let's nature take its course. If this results in either opportunity or demise, I will make sure to guard my little treasure.'

An announcer appeared in the middle of the enormous coliseum. Some screens also appeared, broadcasting him on them. He was a very attractive man, with long black hair and a chiseled face. He had beautiful honey-colored eyes and a perfectly proportioned body. His voice was deep and engaging as he spoke, "Welcome to the last stage of the tournament! Our participants have been battling these days and are finally in the last stretch. Remember that there are betting sites at the side of the arena. This tournament has a total of 8192 participants! To get the entry jade to the secret realm, the participants must get into the top 1000!"

The man continued speaking, "Different from the previous stages; the participants will battle outside the ten arenas in the center. Where will they battle then? They will battle in separate fields we laid in nature! Our seniors have liberated a ton of space to make these battles simultaneous."

Some people complained.

"I haven't paid all those crystals not to know what I am seeing!"

"What the hell? how will we keep track of the participant I put my bets on?"

"Return my money! You guys are scamming people!"

The man put energy in his throat and coughed once. A soundwave spread around, silencing everybody. He smiled handsomely, and the ten one-square-kilometer arenas changed into different natural fields. "You don't have to worry about anything. On the side of your seat, you have a place to input your participant number or any other random number! You will be able to see your participant in the central arena. Then, you, the audience, will be able to vote for them!"

The people relaxed and lifted an eyebrow with intrigue, "The top nine cultivators with more votes will be transmitted through illusion and spatial formations in the nine arenas around the central one. It won't differ from watching it in person since even the auras will be replicated! This will continue until only 100 participants are left! Then, it will change to rotations in the ten arenas of the Coliseum until the winner is decided."

Evelyn frowned when she heard about how they will be sent who knows where. "Tatyana, is this even safe? I don't want surprise kidnaps to happen when we are away."

Tatyana said, "Don't worry, the referee for the six of you is me. If someone tries anything funny…."

Evelyn relaxed completely and said with a smile, "My worries were for naught! We are as safe as inside a fortress with you watching over us!"

Yasenia asked curiously, "Mom did you place any bets?"

Tatyana said, "But of course! I placed some stakes on my little treasure winning! Many teachers have also placed their bets on you~."

Yasenia tilted her head and asked, "Mom, how is my winning chance?"

Tatyana said, "Depends. Twenty-one people have a good chance of beating you in this tournament if you don't use [Day and Night]. If you use it, there are three... Nope, I would say that only two have a high chance of winning."

Angel and the others were surprised. Angel asked, "There is someone that can go against Yasenia's [Day and Night]?"

Tatyana nodded and said, "You have even met one of them; his name is Jaxon. The guy that was with Gerd and the other children."

Angel frowned and said, "But he couldn't pass my barrier. Yasenia can blow it up with one hit in her [Day and Night] mode."

Yasenia sighed and patted her baby, "Do you think he went all out, baby? If what mom said is true, he probably is with Gerd and the others for something more than allying with the demons."

Angel squinted comfortably at her pats and leaned back. Kali spoke at this moment, "U-Umm… Shouldn't we be going to our assigned areas?"

Yasenia nodded and made Angel stand up. Then, she stood up, and the rest followed.

Cecile reached a desert-like area. It was filled with rock pillars, and the terrain was uneven. 'This can be disadvantageous for me. Being ranged in terrain with many hiding places will be a problem….'

She reached her designed point and could see her opponent one kilometer away. It was a girl with a longsword, blue cultivation robes, and long black hair. 'That design… It is the same as that half-step that fought Andrea, so she is from the [Azure dragon] sect. She is an eighth-level cultivator.'

Cecile looked towards the jade, and a number floated above it, "13405", That was the number of people seeing her right now. "I wonder how many spectators do the others have?"

The announcer's voice suddenly resounded through the entirety of the area. "Since most of our spectators have already chosen their participants, we will start in Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!..."

Cecile started preparing and put on her [Chilling Wind Coat]. Freezing winds began revolving around her and her crystal blue bow. The winds made her icy blue hair wave, and her robes floated around. "[Space Vision]."

Cecile's pupils shrank, and she saw her opponent cover herself with an earth and metal attributed coat. Cecile frowned, 'She is practically in her best environment; I will have to begin strong. If I have problems, change into the defensive.'

"…Two! One! START!"

Cecile sprinted towards the tallest pillar; she wanted to have high ground to shoot her with her arrows.

She moved like a gale bouncing around the smaller pillars and getting altitude. Her opponent charged toward her and easily saw through her tactic, so she used her earth movement skills to speed up towards it, basically surfing on the rocks.

The pillar they were heading to was enormous, more than one hundred meters in diameter. It went straight up almost one kilometer.

While running, Cecile aimed and shot one silver [Moon Arrow] after another. Her arrows weaved paths between the pillars with devil-like accuracy, reaching the other cultivator. The arrows easily broke the sound barrier and traveled the distance between them in less than a second.

Thanks to her developed mind, the girl could easily erect earth walls to protect herself. However, "[Moon Gale arrow]."

An arrow shot more than twice as fast and with a silvery wind vortex around it. The girl could only erect a normal earth wall, and the arrow smashed through it, "[Azure dragon claw]."

She used her sword, and a blue aura spread around it. The sword and the arrow clashed in an energy explosion, making the girl stagger one step and throwing her off the earth board she was surfing on.

Cecile reached it and used her space attributed skill [Blink]. Her body disappeared and appeared atop the pillar. The girl was surprised, 'What a masterful control of the space element!'

Cecile looked down, and her blue eyes gained a silver glow. "Since you have the terrain advantage, I will just destroy it [Moon Phoenix Feathers]."

A phantom phoenix appeared behind her. It had a beautiful silver plumage, and its eyes were icy blue. White flames danced around its body.
