Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

After taking a moment to regain his composure, Ling Yuwen bowed to her and withdrew from the obelisk.

Seeing that a nobody like him could achieve such a feat, everyone else started cheering as they became excited, hoping that they too would obtain the same result or better.

The next one to approach the obelisk was another young man with black hair named David Brown. Unlike Ling Yuwen, David Brown didn't appear to be nervous at all, and in fact, he seemed rather relaxed as he strode forward with confidence.

Wearing a smug smirk on his face, he held his head high while scanning the audience around him with a condescending gaze, as if he were looking down upon them.

"Hmph! I don't know how a commoner can have an Elite Rank Spirit, but it's obvious that my spirit is way stronger than his. Not to mention, I am also an aristocrat, so I'm bound to get the highest position among all of you." He sneered at his peers, who glared at him after listening to his words.

However, before anyone could reply, he arrived in front of the artifact and placed his palm on it without hesitation.

The obelisk reacted just like before, except this time, just two stars lit up one after another in rapid succession before fading away, making everyone stare in bewilderment.

Soon enough, the crowd started laughing out loud when they realized the implications of what happened.

His face flushed red in anger when he saw everyone mocking him, and it became worse when he noticed that the people at the top, whom he considered his rivals, were also laughing at him.

"This is wrong! How can I, the Young Master of the Brown clan, have a spirit of Uncommon rank? My clan's spirit artifact had shown me that my spirit was Elite Ranked! This is false. I will not accept it!" He roared while pointing at the obelisk.

Elder Katrina frowned and shot him a displeased glare. "That's enough, brat! Are you questioning the judgment of our sect's artifact? If that's the case, then you are doubting the authority of the Twilight Mist Sect, and you know what happens to those who offend the sect."

"No. But, Elder, I really have an Elite Rank Spirit, and this must be a misunderstanding. I swear, I'm not lying. My clan's spirit artifact showed that my spirit was an Elite Rank Spirit. I demand a fair investigation into this matter." He pleaded in panic.

"Stop your babbling. There is no need to investigate, as the results are clear. This artifact has never been wrong in its judgment. As for the spirit artifact of your clan, that artifact must be broken. You have Uncommon Rank Spirit, period. You may withdraw now, or I can expel you from the sect for questioning the sect's integrity.

It is up to you." Elder Katrina hissed at him.

The young man named David Brown wanted to retort, but after seeing that Elder Katrina had lost her patience with him, he gave up and walked away from the stage in disappointment.

With his departure, the atmosphere became tense again as everyone became anxious once more. No one expected that a noble like him would have a spirit of Uncommon Rank, which meant that they might be facing a similar fate.

But they had to try nonetheless.

Following that, one person after another stepped forward to have their turn. Some got the expected rank, some failed miserably, and some achieved unexpected results, much like Ling Yuwen.

Soon, Asher saw Zhang Meiling approaching the artifact with a confident smile on her face. However, he narrowed his eyes as he saw that she had crimson eyes, and he was sure that the last time he met her, she had turquoise eyes. This confused him, and he wondered how she had a different set of eyes from what he knew.

When he turned in the direction she came from, he was surprised to find that there were two more women with similar facial features, and one of them had turquoise eyes, which were the ones he remembered from Zhang Meiling.

"Triplet huh? Interesting..."

Zhang Lingling, the one who was touching the obelisk, closed her eyes as she began channeling her spirit essence into it. At the same time, her spirit manifested outside her body, hovering around her figure. It was a beautiful white feline creature, resembling a cat. Its appearance was majestic, and its aura exuded a mysterious and mystical presence.

The moment it appeared, fog formed around it, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing aura that captivated the audience's attention. Everyone gazed at it with wonder and amazement as they marveled at its splendor.

However, not long afterward, the artifact flashed with bright light, revealing five red stars.

A collective gasp resounded throughout the field as everyone stared in astonishment.

"My, my... Nebulae, an Epic Rank Spirit, isn't this quite remarkable?" Elder Katrina exclaimed in excitement while staring at her with interest. "Congratulations, girl. With this achievement, I expect great things from you in the future."

"Thank you, Elder." Zhang Lingling responded politely before leaving.

When she reached back, a mischievous smile crept up on her lips as she nudged Zhang Meiling with her elbow. "Look at that; everyone is already dumbstruck by my spirit's rank. Hahaha... I wonder how they will react when they see yours."

Zhang Meiling just gave a gentle smile in return without saying anything about it and turned towards Zhang Xueling, "Your turn, Big Sis Xueling."

"Sigh... Aunt told us not to attract any attention, yet this will make us stand out even more." Zhang Xueling shook her head in dismay, as she thought it was too late to do anything now, and instead she just proceeded to touch the artifact.

Just like Zhang Lingling, Zhang Xueling channeled her spirit essence, and soon her Spirit flew out of her body, appearing next to her. However, unlike her sister's Spirit, Zhang Xueling's Spirit was a Blue Luan, a majestic bird that possessed an elegant yet ferocious demeanor.

The moment it appeared, a blue glow emanated from its figure and spread across the entire stage, filling the atmosphere with an icy-cold aura.

Everyone felt goosebumps rising on their skins as they shivered from the sudden change in temperature.

The entire area fell quiet as everyone watched in awe of its beauty and power.

At that moment, Zhang Xueling focused her attention on the obelisk. Soon thereafter, the stars on its surface lit up one by one in order from the lowest to the highest, revealing five glowing red stars.

Upon witnessing one more Epic Grade Spirit, the spectators couldn't help but mutter amongst themselves in surprise.

"Damn! Another Epic Ranked Spirit? And she looks similar to the previous beauty; are they twins? Wait a moment, there is another one, a triplet? Does she also have Epic Rank Spirit? This is ridiculous!

What is going on here?" A random guy blurted out, not thinking of keeping his thoughts to himself, and others nodded in agreement.

Elder Katrina smiled upon seeing the results, "This year we seem to have some lucky kids who are born under a fortunate star, eh? I wonder if the youngest sister is also like these two, haha. I guess we will find out shortly."
