With a pained expression, Richard said, “The enemy is too strong.”

Yasenia’s heart started to hurt terribly, each heartbeat was more painful than the last it was as if she was going to be devoured inside out by something, bit by bit her sanity was being eroded.

Each heartbeat killing a little more of her current personality, just when every single normal thought was about to be devoured and an unknown beast was about to awaken, the words of the male from the inheritance flashed

“Tragedy is also a big step that most cultivators can’t overcome. The loss of a loved one, the loss of a teacher or a friend… Remember, even when any of this happens, having a clear mind and not rushing blindly in the cycle of revenge is what makes a cultivator heart truly strong!”

This relaxed her heart, however, her wrath was still burning brightly! She said to Richard “Prepare the troops and start training them, we will use all our resources to get stronger. Do not charge in blindly, investigate about their weaknesses, use our connections, and when we are strong enough, we will attack and destroy them in one fell swoop!”

After speaking, Yesenia’s heart felt as if it was submerged in a refreshing spring and the unknown beast hid in the depths of her heart again. Her thought returned to normal and *Crash! * The surrounding shattered like glass.

Then she opened her eyes and she saw everyone from the examination site looking at her with an open mouth. They couldn’t help but feel that there was something different about her gaze. It was as her gaze was as clear as water yet, as profound as the deepest ocean. She had a spiritual breakthrough before reaching the Unification realm!

A few moments earlier, before Yasenia passed her test. Evelyn and Oliver had already finished their assessments. To Oliver’s surprise, Evelyn barely passed with a one-minute and ten-second mark and now was gloomily looking at the floor.

Oliver lasted two minutes and ten seconds being better than a lot of people. To cheer her up he said, “Hey look, Yasenia is still there!” This voice was heard by others and they couldn’t help but look.

Mason also looked over. Suddenly a chill passed from everyone watching her as if a dangerous beast was about to awaken, but the next moment *Crash!* the formation broke, and that feeling disappeared as if an illusion.

They saw Yasenia open her eyes slowly. That stare as deep as the sea and as charming as the Sun at dusk mesmerized every single person. Mason opened his eyes and said, “Spiritual breakthrough, she actually made a spiritual breakthrough!”

Oliver woke up earliest because he has already accustomed, he couldn’t help but ask “What is that?” Mason answered patiently “From now on, thanks to this breakthrough, her will is going to be stronger than her peers, and her ability to read people will skyrocket. Not to mention, when she reaches the Unification realm she will advance without bottlenecks!”

He laughed boisterously “Truly impressive! To do this before the Unification realm one must confront your deepest fears and overcome them. That means, right now she doesn’t have heart demons! Hahaha what an impressive little girl!” They couldn’t help but be surprised! What a monster!

While they were talking Yasenia has already stood up and started walking with her usual sashaying hips towards Evelyn, seeing the hidden distressed appearance of her little perverted new friend she couldn’t help but step forward and hug her with her arms over her shoulders.

Thanks to the more than 20cm of height difference, Yasenia was able to bury Evelyn’s head between her breast. Then she spoke gently “It is only an illusion of our deepest fears. It didn’t really happen, relax your thoughts, clear your mind. Overcoming these things will make you a lot stronger.”

Evelyn was at first surprised by the softness that warped around her head. And after hearing her words she couldn’t help but hug Yasenia’s waist and take a deep breath to calm her mind. The sweet floral scent and the fresh air in her lungs did wonders.

After staying like that for a few moments she separated her head and looked upwards with her violet eyes and said with a smile “Thank you Yasenia” Then she asked a little shyly “Can I be with you from now on…?” Yasenia separated and patted her head responding with a smile. “Sure, welcome aboard.” Evelyn nodded happily “En!”.

Oliver came over and patted her on the shoulder “Welcome to the [Firmament team]!” Yasenia looked with a strange face “[Firmament team] What is that?” Oliver answered proudly with a smile “The name I just come up with! With little sis at the helm, we shall conquer the firmament!”

Yasenia rolled her eyes and answered “You are so original huh? By the way how much time did I last? Instead of Oliver, Mason that was nearby answered “Unless another person can break the formation faster than you, the first rank will be yours. And you broke the formation in 3 minutes and 41 seconds.” Yasenia nodded and left to the next area with Oliver and Evelyn.

Two hours later all the people had finished the second test. The people left were incomparable to the initial amount. Only one out of seventy-five reached here. Not to mention there were still two more rounds!

This time there was a tall and muscular elderly man waiting for them. They knew that there were four elders that were just below the headmaster and some guessed that, this elder was one of them. His next words confirmed their thoughts.

“Well, brats! Welcome to the third test of the academy!” Then with a smile, he continued “I’m Ron, you brats however will call me Elder Ron from now on. Until now we have proved your agility, strength, creativity, and heart. In this test, we will check your endurance! There are five Killing-formations behind me.”

Elder Ron crossed his arms and said “This formation will summon phantom beasts and your objective is to endure and kill the most amount! You will take a jade before entering, if you think that you can’t continue, you just need to send energy to it and it will transport you back here. You can die there so… Be careful!”

Then he caressed his white beard and said playfully “If you kill the same amount, the one with the fastest speed to do so will be placed first. There will be a ranking and the higher the better! I don’t know if those two brats have told you about the rewards for finishing higher than other people in the final evaluation…”

Seeing the eager faces Elder Ron laughed “Bahahaha seeing your surprised faces is obvious that they haven’t! Then… I won’t tell you either! Bahahaha! Begin the test!” All of the people present choked. ‘Say, old man, can you not put a sweet under our nose and then take it away!?’

This time Yasenia didn’t wait and went first. She walked towards the formation, her hips moving mesmerizingly and her lips raised in a naturally seductive and confident smile. When she reached the formation, she took the jade and then disappeared from the spot. What she didn’t know is that a big screen would appear showcasing their performance to evaluate the disciples better!

When Yasenia reappeared, she was in a forest with tall trees, however, some branches were actually quite low and the tree crowns were so lush that they almost didn’t let the sun pass! The sun was high in the sky and the air was a little humid.

The roars of countless beasts sounded with a tremor created by the movement of all the beasts. She didn’t wait for them to come and advanced towards a place with more trees. She wanted to use them to avoid being surrounded. When she found a good place, she took out her giant sword and changed her tail-tip to the 40cm short sword form.

She looked towards the beasts and saw that they were rank one fire wolf, and a leader being a young rank two wolf. The beasts were ranked like human cultivators. Rank 0 beast, were, for example, a house cat, they can injure mortals, but they are weak otherwise.

Rank one beast and above have an initial, middle, and advanced sublevel. The Komodo dragon she fought the other day and the gorilla were rank 2 middle-level beasts, this alpha wolf was a rank two initial level.

Yasenia prepared and then sprinted towards the level two wolf. ‘If I kill the alpha fast the rest will be easily cleaned’ Yasenia put strength in her legs and shoot like a released arrow towards the alpha leaving behind deep footprints!

Five wolves tried to put themselves in the way. One attacked the leg, another the tail, two were on the front, and another one was attacking her waist, but she wasn’t nervous. With her monstrous strength and her recent breakthrough, her head was planning the attack path quickly!

The wolf that jumped towards her leg had its head sliced by her tail! At the same time, her arms were carrying her sword in a horizontal strike towards the wolf that tried to attack her waist.

Using the weight and momentum of the blade she let herself spin kicking the one that was aiming towards her tail and with the help of the remaining leg, she completed the spin and propelled herself towards the two wolves at the front!

One of the wolves was pierced in the forehead by her spear tail before it could even react and the other was sliced in diagonally by her giant sword. Changing her tail to the barbed-tip, she used it to maintain her grip on the dead wolf and she threw it towards the alpha.

The 2 m tall alpha slapped the wolf with one claw, but what waited for him was Yasenia who was clad in her energy coat and her giant sword which was falling vertically with the energies of the Sun, Moon, and stars around it.

Yasenia had used the wolf as a cover and with her energy acceleration, she was able to put herself in the perfect position to kill the alpha, then with [Presence of the celestial bodies] cladded around her blade, she bisected its head vertically! Afterward, it was a one-sided massacre of the 30 remaining wolves that were attacking her.

Although it took a long time to explain, the alpha was killed in 4 seconds and everything ended 40 seconds after the first kill.

The second wave enemies were 10 first rank lightning cats that looked like one-meter-tall lynxes and a rank two initial level thunder cat that looked like a golden 2m tall panther. The lynxes were speed type and the panther was strength type.

‘This group lets the speed types weaken the prey and when they are distracted the panther strikes killing it in one hit. The panther is clumsier than it looks so stay away from the panther while killing the rest. Afterward, finish the big guy.’ With a plan in mind, she charged towards the lynx furthest away from the panther.

‘My sword is a little slow to attack this speed type so I will use it as a shield while the main attacking method will be the spear-shaped tip because its stabs are the fastest.’ With that in mind when she was approaching, she used the sword as a faint and managed to pierce the lynx when it dodged under the horizontal strike of the sword.

Following the horizontal motion of the sword, she put it covering her back blocking one of the attacks while her tail lashed another lynx sending it flying and injuring it without killing it.

Sensing the panther approaching she started to run towards the next most isolated lynx and she used her sword-tail to attack its legs twice and finish it off with her sword when it lost balance.

Following that, she dodged one lynx and used the blow the panther was delivering *Clang!* to propel herself backward and made the distance between them. Since she was flung in the direction of another lynx she used her blunt tail with a whip motion and smashed its head open like a watermelon bursting with a *crunch!*

Then she defended against four lynxes dodging two blocking one with the sword and piercing the last one. Using the same trick she did with the wolf she send it towards the panther, but instead of following she charged towards the previously hurt lynx and finished it easily with her sword.

The two sides stopped and looked at each other. Five lynxes were killed in these 15 seconds. Yasenia saw that this time only the panther was attacking while the 5 lynxes were supporting it.

Yasenia made a wild smile. “Because I’m always running away from you don’t misunderstand that as fear! Bring it on!” Then she charged forwards and shouted to motivate herself “[PRESENCE OF THE CELESTIAL BODIES: CELESTIAL COAT]!”

Yasenia warped her sword with her celestial energy and then she did a full swing horizontally! The panther blocked “BANG!” Only to be sent flying! The lynxes tried to attack at that moment but what they didn’t expect is that the momentum of the blade didn’t weaken at all!

Using her foot as a pivotal point, she continued the horizontal strike and she cut horizontally two of the five lynx while sending the other three flying because of the air pressure of the blade!

Without even stopping for an instant she charged towards the injured panther while doing spins like a dancer accumulating momentum and then changed her tail to the blunt form and “BANG!* She lashed its head sinking the skull and killing it on the spot!

Then she turned towards the remaining three lynxes and charged without pause! Another ten seconds passed and the three lynxes died under her blade completing the fight in one minute and ten seconds!
