Guild Wars-Novel

The Sect Master smiled and spoke. "Young Master Draco, Young Lady Eva. Who among you wants to go first?"

Hearing this, the other disciples were envious and unhappy. Such privilege! When the others had come forth, it had been a strict order and no one had consulted them, but these two got such a preferential treatment!

Then again, given their backgrounds, even the Dragon and Phoenix Palace would have to give their clans face, because they were all of the equivalent power. Not to mention, the rumors of the talent on these two were frightening to the ear.

Draco arrogantly looked left and right before folding his arms. "No need. We will do it at the same time."

Without giving the Sect Master a chance to reply, the Evil Duo manifested their three Martial Spirits each. The Light Angel and the Dark Angel flapped their wings, one radiating holy light, and the other one unholy miasma.

The Heavenly Goddess sat on her throne of creation and received the bow of an endless army of Angels. The Horned Demon sat on a throne of skulls and the souls of the damned, his Demon Generals worshiping him.

Finally, the giant ball of light manifested, shining upon the area as it illuminated the world, its purifying light both burned, and edified, radiating Justice, Righteousness, and Correctness.

On the other side, the Black Dragon flapped its wings and roared majestically, shaking the entire room greatly. Its blazing red eyes radiated cruelty, malice, and all the evils of the world.

Upon being overwhelmed by such a display, not one in the room could talk. It was as if they had seen a ghost, and their brains could not process the data fast enough into information.

T-three Martial Spirits? Three Martial Spirits at the 12th Grade? Actually no, one was at the cusp of the 13th Grade while one was actually in the early 13th Grade.

What kind of display was this? Such a lineup had never been heard of before in the entire History of the Houtian Continent! Even the Xiantian Continent and the Immortal Plane had not heard of such things before, right?

Draco and Eva retracted their Martial Spirits as they continued to stand there calmly. Their faces displayed nonchalance at their limitless talent, as if it was absolutely not worth mentioning.

This rather gave the crowd the feeling that Draco and Eva were two Immortals reincarnated to the Mortal Plane to experience life at the lowest rung.

The disciples were still lost in their trance, while the Elders shook their heads and snapped out of it. They immediately began breathing roughly, like faulty engines that were three seconds away from becoming scrap.

Their eyes became bloodshot as they stared at Draco and Eva, wishing they could grab at least one of them and run. Where to, they didn't know. What they would do with them too… hehe.

"Hahaha, Young Master Draco, it can be said that looking at your bearing, this old man feels enlivened again. Quickly join my heritage and become my personal disciple, and I shall spare no effort to nurture you."

An Elder with brown hair and a stubble stated as he rose, his eyes displaying gentleness as if he was looking at his own son.

"Old Dog, Jian Yong, you dare to claim you can raise such a talented lad with how miserly you're known to be? It is said that even your richest disciples have to pay morning tax to you, just so you can fill your coffers!"

Another Elder interjected, this time it was a woman with a hunched back and a neat gray bun of hair.

Elder Jian Yong's face changed greatly when he heard these words. "SLANDER! Granny Ji, how dare you slander me like this?!"

Granny Ji ignored Jian Yong and gazed at Eva gently. "Hm, hm, Young Lady Eva, your beauty really makes this old lady reminisce the days of her youth, when countless men killed each other just for the pleasure of accompanying me. Join me as my personal disciple, and I shall make you into a true powerhouse."

Elder Jian Yong felt like spitting out blood. "Old Wench, if you aren't even targeting the same person like me, why slander me and ruin my chances?!"

Granny Ji glanced at Jian Yong askance and harrumphed. "It wasn't intentional. I just saw you about to snap up a generational talent and felt like he should know one or two things just in case."

"Personally, Granny Ji, you are not one to talk. Who doesn't know that the girls who enter your discipleship are forced to never marry because Jian Yong dumped you years ago?"

Another female voice laughed, this time a young and beautiful Elder with long blue hair and purple eyes with a sword at her waist.

Granny Ji's face changed greatly, and she shrieked with killing intent. "Slut Luo Kei, how dare you speak to me that way?"

Elder Luo Kei gazed at her lovely nails nonchalantly as she also ignored Granny Ji. "Being a slut in your eyes is far better than having cobwebs grow out of my vagina because the only man who might have tolerated me dumped me."

She then gazed at Eva with a smile. "Young Lady Eva, join me and I will teach you how to harness your power maturely. I won't force you to abstain, neither will I force you to engage. Your life choices have and will continue to be your own."

Seeing that a light of interest flashed in Eva's eyes, Granny Ji realized that things were slipping away from her. As such, she was enveloped in madness and rage as she struck out using a hairpin.

"Slut Luo Kei, die for this Granny!"

As if expecting this, Luo Kei unsheathed her thin rapier-like sword and parried the attack. The two then began to fight there and then, their moves so fast and dazzling that the disciples were amazed.

Many leaned forward to watch seriously, knowing that they could learn something from this and advance their own crafts forward.

Surprisingly, neither Elder used Qi in their fight, of it they were, their usage was so perfect that not a single ounce of it affected the surroundings, but was fully channeled into their weapons.

Both Granny Ji and Luo Kei kept their eyes on Eva as they fought. Do you think that Granny Ji had really lost her mind?

No, this old woman decided to engage Luo Kei in a fight and suppress her using flashy moves. There was no way this little girl who had just barely stopped suckling her mother's teat would be able to resist!

Funny enough, Luo Kei had the exact same idea, which was why she even bothered to play with Granny Ji in the first place.

"Enough!" The Sect Master roared, and the two female Elders immediately stopped their brawl and sat down with a cold harrumph. The Sect Master rubbed his temples and was about to speak.

"Hahaha, the way I see it, the solution is simple. Young Master Draco, Young Lady Eva, join me as my personal disciples, and become the Sect Son and Daughter. Only such a position befits two youths with your kind of talent." The Grand Elder suddenly butted in, stroking his florescent beard with a smile.

The Sect Master was rendered speechless at first, then shook his head as his face changed. "Grand Elder Tuo Fan, isn't this inappropriate? According to the rules, we have to give the other Elders a chance to recruit. Even I, the current Sect Master, do not wish to go against them, as it was our Founder who put them in place, yet you just jumped in line!"

The Grand Elder folded his arms and didn't even look at the Sect Master. "All I know is that these two lads are getting tired from standing there all day, so I plan to help them while other inconsiderate fellows can only think about grabbing them first!"

The Sect Master harrumphed unhappily. "Very good, Grand Elder Tuo Fan, I shall remember this day!"

He then turned to Draco and Eva, radiating a gentle aura. "Draco, Eva, wouldn't you rather be the personal disciples of this Sect Master, ruler of the sect and controller of all resources?"

"Not only will your status be the highest, but I shall close both eyes if you were to break any of the rules, even cover for you. Not to mention, you can beat up and rob your fellow disciples whenever you want. You can also talk back to the Elders freely and if they dare to harm you, I will break their legs!"

The Grand Elder, Tuo Fan, rose to his feet sharply with a pale face and pointed at the Sect Master. "SHAMELESS! HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF ABIDING BY THE FOUNDER'S RULES WHEN YOU'RE SO WILLING TO IGNORE THEM?!!"

The other Elders could not take it anymore and rose as well, pointing at the Sect Master with dark expressions.

"LAWLESS!"

"ENCOURAGING EVIL!"

"UTTERLY DESPICABLE!"

The Sect Master smiled smugly and leaned into his seat. He ignored all the others, as he had said what he wanted to say and the message had gone through. This weak call out where they couldn't do anything but curse showed that he was right, and they were helpless about it.

At this time, Draco and Eva finally showed looks of annoyance.

Eva roared: "SHUT UP!"

Hearing this, the entire scene became quiet. The Elders and the disciples gazed at the Evil Duo in a daze, wondering if their ears were clogged with rubbish, since they were hearing impossible things.

But no, Draco added on. "None of you have the qualifications to become our Master. Even if the Founder might have left, surely there should be an Old Ancestor still residing here. Quickly call him out, so we may inspect whether he or she is fit to teach us."

The crowd was still silent, even more dumbfounded than before. However, two aged voices sounded out one after the other.

"Such arrogance. This lad is perfect for the Dragon Lineage!"

"Hehe, such an arrogant and proud young lady. She is perfect for my Phoenix Lineage!"
