"No way!"
"Is that possible?"
The combined roar of the audience and their spiritual energy shook the ground. Many stood up to get a better look, causing a massive wave as almost everyone did so.
Her name was Thousand Petals Qian Lei. Her home was not this subcontinent but the one that lay to the south, the Aiqin Mystic Archipelago. Her sect was the Sapphire Mystic Empire. True to such a mysterious and awe-inspiring place of origin, she was incredibly beautiful, surpassing Wu Qianyu easily and almost reaching the heights of Jasmine and Long Yifei. She had a heart-shaped face, a milky complexion, and short glossy brown hair that was neatly tucked away behind her ears.
But nobody cared about these things because their attention was on her body. Because she wore almost nothing!
Wait…
Nothing? No, that wasn't correct.
She had on a silky black shirt that covered her upper body from her shoulders to her hips, only it didn't really.
The only word that could describe it was… transparent!
"What in the world." Chen Wentian muttered as he also stood up involuntarily.
Her black dress was normal in shape and function. It covered her completely from her long sleeves up to the collar around her neck. There was even a pretty black bow that hung down her chest.
But it wasn't a normal dress. It was transparent.
It was so transparent, her breasts, her glorious twin peaks, perfectly round, perfectly perky, with perfectly pink nipples, were completely visible!
With every step she took, her breasts shook and swayed. Her nipples scraped against the silk, leaving a tantalizing trail that danced upon a thousand hearts. They defied gravity, they defied common sense, and they were proudly on display for everyone to see.
It was a shocking situation. Not only Chen Wentian but the other immortals present all felt a strong impact from her appearance. There was a chaotic clash of spiritual energy all around as many had to struggle to not lose control of themselves.
It had to be said that the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent was considered pretty casual with regards to how women dressed. Women like Gong Liyun and Mai Qiaofeng showed a lot of bare skin around their shoulders and liked to wear dresses with a lot of cleavage. There were also those like Long Yifei that preferred clothes that showed off their sexy physique in every detail.
However, there was still a bottom line. Women simply did not go around in public practically naked. The transparent black shirt that Qian Lei was a complete outlier. In the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent, a woman's breasts were something shown to her lover in private… not proudly to the whole world.
This Aiqin Mystic Archipelago was truly a mystic place and Chen Wentian instantly desired to visit that region.
"Master, she is quite good. Do you like her?" Zhou Ziyun teased.
Chen Wentian managed to blush even though he was an immortal. "Ahem… why would I? I have all of you… I don't like her!"
Lin Qingcheng prodded his chest lightly, "You're not allowed to like her!"
"I won't, I won't!" He reassured her.
"Liar…" Xu Lanyi muttered.
"Master!" Lin Qingcheng wasn't convinced and tried to cover his eyes again.
"Come on…" He wanted to say 'let me see' but he couldn't bring himself to do so!
This was only the third time he had been moved like this by a woman. The first time was Jasmine and the second time was Long Yifei. However, both times were when he was face to face with them. This time, Qian Lei was quite far away, separated by many people. Her mysterious aura seemed to defy the distance or was it the fact that she was half-naked?
He wasn't the only one struggling. Other men were struggling just the same, especially those with female companions like Ming Hai and Tian Guan. Even their Spirit King sect masters were interested. It was not their eyes but their spiritual sense that roved wildly over every bit of her body.
Huang Wuji seemed to be the only man unperturbed. He continued calling the ninth and tenth places up to the stage. These two were also women but they were completely overshadowed. They tried to be proud and happy but how could they in the presence of Long Yifei and Qian Lei…
"And that wraps up our top ten finishers in the Monster Fighting Competition." He said, "These ten talented people will be given the opportunity to enter the dream array set up by Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun. The tenth place will be allowed one month of time though if they leave early, they cannot return. The time allowed increases steadily for each place to the first place which is allowed two months!"
There were no cheers and no applause. The audience was still enthralled by Thousand Petals Qian Lei. Huang Wuji noticed this so he immediately went to the next stage of the ceremony, naming the winners who placed eleventh through the hundredth.
He went rapidly, calling name after name. His spiritual energy knocked people out of their stupor and forced them onto the stage in rapid fashion. One after another walked up, sometimes two or three at a time.
Twentieth place…
Thirtieth place…
Fiftieth place…
"Eighty-first place, Li Yuechan of Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
"YeeaaahhhH!" Lin Qingcheng yelled happily.
So did Zhou Ziyun and the others. The twins were especially loud. Li Yuechan gave everyone an appreciating smile and joined the line of people that circled the stage several times over.
By now, there were so many people that the brilliant Qian Lei and divine Long Yifei were finally overshadowed by sheer numbers. There were plenty of men and women who were not content, who proudly displayed themselves and their strength.
"Eighty-sixth place, Song Wushuang of Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
"Eighty-seventh place, Xu Lanyi of Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
"Ninety-second place, Su Xue of Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
"Ninety-fifth place, Su Yue of Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
They had all made it!
It ended up being incredibly close in the end. Competition for the last ten spots was truly fierce. If they had slacked off even half a day, the twins may have fallen out of the top one hundred. But they hadn't. Zhou Ziyun would never have allowed it. Wu Qianyu and Long Yifei would not have allowed it. The ice sisters would also not have allowed themselves.
They were determined to stand upon the stage with their sisters and they had done it.
Wu Qianyu was Chen Wentian's first miracle that shocked the competition. Long Yifei was the gift that fell from the heavens into his lap. She was also a miracle but aroused jealousy and discontent. The ice sisters were his third and most satisfying miracle.
There were no opportunities for others to complain now. He managed to get five brand new disciples into the top one hundred in his first Immortal Sect Competition. This was simply too sick, too abnormal. He was probably the best sect master in the history of the Spirit Lord Realm!
