(OLD/NOT CANON) Immortal Ascension Tower

Chapter 82 - She Has Grown

Te Rin breathed in and then stood up from her seat. She glanced at Sou Rou and her expression grew cold as her whole body tensed up: this was a chance. A chance to let the whole world know that her power had grown!

She walked forward, her hands were clearly shaking, however her expression was firm. Up above, circling on top of the Arena, Mu Gu couldn't help but nod in approval.

"The little jewel has grown... Her talent is a match to many geniuses. It is just too bad her age is not on par with the three monsters, otherwise she would have undoubtedly become a Successor as well..."

The old man's robes, green and made out of leaves, fluttered in the wind as he sighed in reminiscence "Shui Jing... If only you could see her now, you would regret your decisions without a doubt... You actually were able to teach such a genius!"

The wind carried away the Second Protector's words as the old man focused once again on the events below.

Sou Rou pursued her alluring lips and stretched "Fu Yin, you were the luckiest amongst the three of us it seems! You got nobody in your group able to harm you... Te Rin. I will have to be careful with her!"

Fu Yin's eyes glittered and turned an electric blue as sparks went off from the nails embedded in his temples. The boy turned his gaze to examine the young girl on the other side of the Arena and his pupils, now a pair of inverted triangles, came to a rest on the girl's hands "Yeah Big Sis, you definitely should... That girl, I didn't think that she would actually be this smart!"

Sou Rou frowned and turned to face the white-haired boy "What... Do you mean?"

"Mmmm, I wonder..." the boy smiled enigmatically "I won't spoil the fun. Don't worry, you will find out soon... Sooner than you might think!"

The older woman sighed "It's almost as if you still don't see me as a sister..."

Fu Yin chuckled and Xiao Wu also couldn't help but shake her head smiling. The young girl sighed and her green eyes glinted with flashes of purple light "Oh, no. It is exactly because he sees you as a sister that he isn't telling you anything..."

Xiao Wu's expression turned into disgust as Sou Rou tilted her head.

"Why?" Xiao Wu scoffed "It's because towards those he does not care about he usually just gives wrong information..."

Fu Yin chuckled bitterly "You sure know me well, Sis..."

The two children began bickering and Sou Rou smiled warmly. Her gaze then turned serious as she also turned to walk towards the Arena: her blue robes fluttered and the air surrounding her couldn't help but tremble under the pressure the young woman gave off.

The crowds cheered and the people in the audience couldn't help but feel excited: a face-off between the Sect's top beauties? How often would they actually have the occasion to see something like this?

That was why, when the two girl finally walked on top of the stage, the cheering suddenly stopped, the loud roars coming from the huge crowd of people slowly dissipated until the only thing that could be heard was the faint sound of the wind.

Lao Jianghu then jumped on top of the stage and his usual laid-back countenance changed as his golden eyes glittered coldly...

"Everyone! The first battle is about to start! Now, I would like to clarify something..." The old man yelled, each of the words crystalline and as clear as the day.

"These fights are not without meaning! We are not hosting a tournament just because we wanted or could. It's also because we felt that our top disciples have too little experience when it comes to fighting." Lao Jianghu waved his hands and, to everyone's surprise, a corpse fell down on top of the golden stage.
