Capítulo 669: Chapter 669. Rules and the First Ten Waves.
When Yasenia opened her eyes, she was in an elegant and tall room. The walls were made of rock slabs, and the floor was marble-like. There was a bed behind her, a table in the middle, a blue formation circle in the opposite left corner of the bed, and a red one in the right corner.
Moreover, a miniature fountain similar to the one in the previous room was neatly placed at the side.
Yasenia used her spiritual sense and analyzed the entire room, also looking with her eyes just in case.
Curious, she used the new energy flow analysis method and a ripple spread around. Feeling no danger, the dragoness relaxed. "Hmm… Oh?"
While looking around, she spotted a few things on the wall touching the bed. First of all, she looked at a white number that slowly increased.
It currently marked 831, soon increasing to 853, and just three seconds later going to 867.
There was a list with names on the left of this number. This list was as tall as the entire wall. She approached and looked closely.
There were names with numbers.
1st, Tatyana Dravory - 2000 points. 4th wave
2nd, Yu Lei - 1200 points. 3rd wave.
…
23rd, Cecile Dravory - 600 points. 2nd wave.
…
250th, Andrea Dravory - 200 points. 1st wave.
…
Yasenia blinked when she saw those two names. The bottom of the list marked the number 340.
Yasenia touched it and saw that she could scroll and continue seeing names. She did so and saw all her other dears in the first wave, a few going over to the second one and jumping many positions in the list.
Finally, she made it to her own name.
931st, Yasenia Dravory - 0 Points. 0th wave.
Below her name, everyone else had zero points. 'Hm… What are these waves? Didn't I come here first? Why are my dears already doing these wave things?'
She pondered, but since she didn't come up with anything, she placed it on the back of her head.
Then, she approached the stone table in the middle of the room and touched the jade tablet on it to read it.
In her mind, information appeared.
"Library of Trials Rules:
1st: To gain points, you must defeat the waves. Defeating them with minimal damage and expertise will give you more points, up to a perfect score.
2nd: You must step into one of the circles to challenge the waves, either the blue or red circles. The red formation is two times harder but gives two times more points. However, penalties are harsher. So, consider closely if you are up to the tasks.
3rd: The number of waves is limited to 50. The top fifty with the most points will become the Library of Trials Competition winners.
4th: Every ten waves, people will have to wait for all participants to finish. There will be an event after everyone passes the ten trials or dies. Multipliers, rewards, and other benefits will be given according to performance.
5th: There is a time limit to overcome the ten waves; please look at the number on top of the list for reference.
6th: Killing is not prohibited. Whenever you want to give up the trial, you can lie on the bed and chant [Return]. You can also shout [Surrender] to give up the trial during events.
7th: Reaching the fortieth wave will give access to a secret area with plenty of treasures, so I encourage participation, at least up to that point.
8th: Reversal of points is possible. Surrendering if you are not suitable to deal with the waves is not recommended.
9th: Good luck, and may the courage of Hero Distancia push you forward."
Yasenia nodded and reread it a few times, just in case. Then, she looked at the top of the list, which showed 1752, decreasing one point each second. 'I have about half an hour. That's not bad.'
She looked at the first position out of reflex, and her lips twitched.
1st, Tatyana Dravory, 11000 Points. 10th wave.
2nd, Yu Lei, 3000 points. 5th wave.
3rd, Angel Dravory, 3000 points. 5th wave.
4th, Qiao Mei Lan, 3000 points. 5th wave.
5th, Cecile Dravory, 3000 points. 5th wave.
6th, Sarah, 3000 points. 5th wave.
…
She couldn't help but laugh as a competitive light flashed in her eyes. 'How close will I be with points compared to Mom? I'm so excited~.'
"Let's do this!"
Then, without a shred of hesitation, Yasenia went toward the red circle and stepped on it. A gentle energy covered her body, and she disappeared from the room.
Yasenia quickly looked around, using her perception to the limits, and observed the wide prairie with nothing in sight.
[Welcome to the first wave. Defeat ten tenth-level Mind Core beasts within three minutes of time.]
After the mechanical voice spoke those words, ten quadrupedal beasts lunged toward her.
Yasenia swung her sword and tail a total of ten times while using [Draconic Crescent Moon] without moving from her standing place.
Ten enormous silver crescents rapidly flew and slashed those ten beasts in half.
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against ten tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 3.2 seconds. You've gained 200 Points!]
Yasenia then appeared again in her room. "Ah, this is why Mom rushed toward the tenth wave that quickly."
She stepped into the red circle again, and another similar message appeared in her eyes.
[Welcome to the second wave. Defeat twenty tenth-level Mind Core beasts within three minutes of time.]
Even before she finished listening to the voice, her sword and tail slashed around in a hurricane of sword strikes.
Giant crescents sliced up her surroundings, killing everything.
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against twenty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 0.3 seconds. You've gained 400 Points!]
Yasenia's eyes became murderous, and she entered the red portal one time after another.
There was no suspense, and Yasenia slaughtered the first ten waves.
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against thirty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 0.4 seconds. You've gained 600 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against forty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 0.6 seconds. You've gained 800 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against fifty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 0.6 seconds. You've gained 1000 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against sixty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 0.8 seconds. You've gained 1200 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against seventy tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 1 second. You've gained 1400 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against eighty tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 1.1 seconds. You've gained 1600 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against ninety tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 1.3 seconds. You've gained 1800 Points!]
[Congratulations! You've won perfectly against one hundred tenth-level Mind Core beasts without being injured in 1.7 seconds. You've gained 2000 Points!]
When the strength gap was so large, numbers made almost no change. Yasenia swung with her [Draconic Crescent Moon] tens of times per second, killing more than one beast with each attack.
Destructiveness was Yasenia's specialty.
Then, she approached the list again.
1st, Tatyana Dravory, 11000 Points. 10th wave.
2nd, Yasenia Dravory, 11000 Points. 10th wave.
3rd, Yu Lei, 9000 Points. 9th wave.
4th, Sarah, 9000 Points. 9th wave.
5th, Cecile Dravory, 9000 Points. 9th wave.
…
Yasenia smiled and nodded. 'Perfect~. The spot below Mom should always be mine.'
A few seconds later, many people began reaching the tenth wave.
Most of them had a perfect score. When the time to finish the first ten waves was almost done, she scrolled down and saw that nearly seventy percent completed the first ten rounds perfectly, gaining 11000 Points.
Our dragoness pondered at how easy the waves were and soon concluded. "Well, the first ten rounds should be a test to give us a feel for what's about to come. I need to remain alert."
In Yasenia's opinion, looking at who was in the top positions was unnecessary for now. When interacting with each other became possible, she would pay more attention. After all, she had talked with her dears, and the waves were the same for all of them.
Yasenia didn't think that it was normal for every participant to have the same test if the trials were aiming at potential and not pure strength, so she wanted to ask around when she met other people, just in case.
When the countdown stopped, Yasenia heard a voice.
"Time is over. The first rounds have been completed. The number of people who have been eliminated is [12]. Now, another circle will appear between the red and blue ones; please step on it before the new timer falls to zero. Otherwise, you will be eliminated."
Yasenia looked at the top of the list and saw a 300 appearing. 'Five minutes.'
Then, she thought of those 12 people who failed and felt innate disdain. 'How can they be so weak…? That makes no sense. Won't they die to the Heavenly Tribulation at this pace?'
She shook her head and observed how the blue and red circles created a light beam between them, and a yellow formation materialized.
Above the formation, a text written in Distancia's language appeared.
"Please stand on this formation to be transported to the event."
Yasenia looked around one last time, just in case. Then, the dragoness walked forwards leisurely and was transported.
Her body disappeared and reappeared at the base of a mountain.
As she looked around her, more and more people were transported to the event. 'A group-wide event. Doesn't the creator fear people starting to slaughter each other at sight?'
After a few moments of observation, Yasenia spotted her baby appearing not too far away, and she used her movement technique to appear behind her and hug her.
Angel was calmly looking around when two soft but strong arms surrounded her. She was startled and about to attack, but her back was suddenly pressed against two giant mounds of softness, making her body completely relax and lean on the embrace of her lover. "Yasenia~."
Yasenia chuckled while leaning down and resting her chin on the shoulder of her petite but voluptuous girl. "Baby~. How were the first ten waves?"
Angel turned around to circle her neck and kissed Yasenia with enamored eyes. Then, she nuzzled with her and mewled. "Very easy~."
Yasenia felt a few of her dears appear around her, and she released Angel to cuddle with all of them, spreading her scent all over them, just in case.
Any beast human near them would feel a loud and clear "It's mine!" from just the scent surrounding them.
The girls, even the human girls, could clearly smell the lingering scent around them, but it just made them feel cozy as the sweet floral scent lightly caressed their olfactory sense when the wind blew correctly.
While hugging Tatyana's back while her tail rested in Cecile's and Andrea's arms, she heard a voice at the side. "Little sister Yasenia!"
Yasenia didn't separate and looked over. "Oh! Big sister Laurina. Can I ask how the ten waves were?"
Laurina nodded. "We faced level Nine Mind Core beasts. It seems to be a way of calling high-level Mental Nourishing Realm beasts."
Yasenia smiled. "That's different from us. We faced level 10 beasts."
Laurina pondered and quickly concluded. The other four beast heirs also saw the pattern. They were very intelligent people.
Gorena, the female Island Turtle, spoke gently and deeply. "It seems related to either cultivation level or key level."
Yasenia agreed, but to be sure, she looked at a person nearby and approached. 'He is in the low-level Ethereal realm, so it should be a good comparison.'
"Excuse me."
The man minding his own business heard a seductive female voice that made his heart tremble, and he turned around, only for his brain to freeze. 'W-What…?'
If it was not during combat or a tense moment, Yasenia's beauty had always been effective on higher-level people, not to mention lower-level people.
Yasenia chuckled and asked, unconsciously leaning forward. "What portal did Big Brother take?"
The sultry "big brother" was quite lethal, and he answered with a gulp. "T-The red one."
The dragoness blinked once and smiled. "Could you tell the level of beasts' big brother faced in the waves? I'm very curious."
The man coughed and muttered. "W-Well, I faced level five Mind Core beasts, whatever those are. W-Why is little sister asking?"
Yasenia laughed, her eyes curving into crescents. "I was curious. Thanks for answering, big brother."
Then, she turned around, leaving behind a helplessly horny man.
When she reached the girls' side, the five minutes of the initial counter seemed to run out, and the voice of the man echoed in the surroundings.
The deep voice of the man echoed. "This event is about climbing the mountain. The higher you climb, the better the rewards. There are checkpoints where you will retain the benefits you've gained. You have two hours to reach as far as you can."
Yasenia's eyes glowed, and she wildly smiled. "See you at the top, dears."
Then, without warning, she stomped the ground and shot forward, creating a giant explosion because of her bodily strength.
Everyone quickly reacted and ran after her.
****************************************************************
Evelyn: First event~. I wonder what rewards are there?
Yasenia: I'm going to take the first place!
Tatyana: Right…
Yasenia: I'm going to take the second place!
The girls: Hahaha.
Author: Silly dragoness. Let's move on; I summon you!
Dante: Hi!
Andrea: Welcome back.
Dante: So, seniors. Here is a question about the cultivation paths.
Dante: Other than the four cultivation paths recently told (Soul, Body, Spirit, Beast), are there any more one can take? If so, how many are there, and are they any different from what we know already?
Dante: I know that beast is not a cultivation Path but a natural one. Some natural ghosts, undead, and creatures that get stronger naturally are also classified as such. So, I was wondering.
Mirrory: Well, there are quite a few different paths. The Soul, Body, and Spirit paths are mostly "human" paths. Cultivation was initiated by the human race in time immemorial, after all.
Valeria: Divines, Demons, and races like Undead, Ghosts, Spirits, some Spiritual Herbs, etc., also have their own paths. There are also the creatures from [The Abyss]. However, those paths have nothing to do with our girls yet, so you shouldn't bother much.
Dante: I see. Thanks.
Valeria: No problem.
Mirrory: Hm.
Author: And that's all for today, bye-bye~.
