Hand in hand with each other, Luke, Qingyue, and Lingxi eyes were close, sitting in a meditative state. Currently, they were in a luxurious room of the Xia Manor, and everything was calm and peaceful there.
Even Andrea sat in a meditative pose as she refined her soul Spirit Power control in her mind.
A few days have passed since Luke's declaration, and all four of them were working hard! Through this, they experience great results as Lingxi blasted to the fifth level of the True Profound Realm, and Qingyue advanced to the fourth level of the Spiritual Xiantian realm!
Luke and Andrea only advanced to the second level of True Profound realm, and they notice they'll need even greater fights than themselves to break through quickly.
Although the reason for Lingxi and Qingyue's rapid advancement was because of Luke's soul mark and the intimate connection, they keep growing. Through this, even now, Luke's soul mark makes it significantly easier for the girls to comprehend essence energy.
As for their Spirit Power, Luke and Andrea already made progress in controlling their soul Spirit Power by tempering their wills. They achieved this by comprehending the next stage of their curses, which was massively more complex than the first stage.
And once again, through their soul mark connection, Lingxi and Qingyue already became grey cloak World Spiritists!
Now all they were doing was achieving the most harmonious state of their mind. It won't be easy going against whatever the Frozen Immortal Palace throws against them.
'Say you should get ready now, that woman is coming along with Yuanba, Dongxue, and Hongyi.' Spooky informed him, and Luke's eyes sprang open with a mix burst of blue and black lightning along with ice flashing in them!
"Ok! You girls ready? Senior Chu Yueli is coming!" His shout caused the other girls' eyes sprang open in the same flashiness as him.
Andrea had thunderous black lightning in her eyes. Lingxi had primarily black and blue lightning with a little bit of ice. While Qingyue was mainly ice and blue lightning along with a small portion of black lightning.
"I'm at one hundred percent, Luke! There no way Senior Chu Yueli won't take us!" Lingxi had a fire in her eyes as she was ready to help Qingyue anyway she can.
"Hopefully, we don't get too carried away, despite at first meeting, Master really is a kind person." Qingyue was calmer but focus as she was determined to stay and adventure with Luke.
"We'll act to what's appropriate to the given situation. Oh! By the way, I think it'll be best for you three to keep holding hands even when she comes. It'll make things go along smoother for you to take control, little Luke." Andrea suggested as she stood up, working out the kinks in her neck.
"Heh, we truly do think alike. I was going to propose this idea first, but do you two feel comfortable doing it? I know it can probably feel embarrassing being so intimate out in the open so I-." Luke stopped himself short when he felt Lingxi and Qingyue give his hands a gentle squeeze as they stood up.
"After all this time now, I'm more than comfortable with doing this with my boyfriend silly~!" Lingxi gave him a gentle smile, and from his other side he heard,
"U-Uhm...if its to prove our relationship, I'm fine. Besides, your hand gives me warmth..." Qingyue's voice gotten smaller at the end as she blushed, but Luke heard her nonetheless.
And then his senses had picked up the others just outside the door!
"What impeccable timing, too, alright, girls follow my lead." Outside the doors, they heard many chatters going on with the leading voices being Yuanba and Hongyi. It wasn't until they open door that they head Xia Hongyi said,
"Yu'er should be here-...ah?"
For a second, everyone froze.
And it wasn't because of Luke holding hands with Qinyue and Lingxi as they all knew about their relationship beside Chu Yueli, no, it was because of Andrea.
While everyone else got accustomed to Luke's new handsome appearance, no one had really seen Andrea after she broke through to the True Profound Realm.
And her appearance, presence were all strikingly different. Her face became more beautiful, striking up a wild glamour vibe to her. Her dark black eyes suck you into the abyss of it, and her long dark black possessed a unique enchanting quality to her.
Most of all, she was at the second level True Profound realm in such a short time! Plus, even when Andrea started to learn to control her curse. The stronger she got, the more naturally intimidating, she would be no matter how good her control was.
In the second everyone froze, thanks to Andrea, Luke saw this as a golden opportunity!
"Ah, Seniors and brother Yuanba! We were waiting for all of you." Luke's curse's immediate effect took over as his charismatic voice and exquisite charm jolted everyone out of the second stupor.
"Who are you?"
Walking out to the front of the crowd, Luke had to say was another top tier beauty of this world.
She gorgeous creamy white skin, vermilion lips, and luxurious long black hair. She was wearing beautiful blue and white robes with several pretty ornaments in her hair. Her presence carried a fairy-like charm, calm, and serene.
But in her eyes, there carried great curiosity on the young boy who spoke first.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Out of everyone in the room second to Andrea, not even her disciple capture her attention as quickly as Luke. From Luke's growing soul and his preference in people, the curse throttles her focus on to him.
Plus, his refined, handsome, noble looks and confident demeanor already left quite the impression on Chu Yueil despite seeing countless other handsome, confident men.
She didn't even put much thought in Luke holding Lingxi and Qingyue's hands.
Smirking Luke said,
"I'm Luke, the boyfriend of both these girls, and today I come with my cousin to make a request!"
Straightforward and to the point is what Luke wants to strive to be in this world. And he could tell it caused various reactions in the others. Lingxi and Qingyue gained a little blush, but they were still smiling.
"Woah! Like always, you never hold back on anyone, brother Luke!" Yuanba spoke up as he wasn't expecting for Luke to immediately ask something of Chu Yueil.
"L-Luke, do you know who you're talking to?" Xia Hongyi calmly asked since he didn't think Luke had any bad intentions, only ignorance.
But Senior Dongxue stayed strangely silent, a small smile forming on her face.
She could tell quite a commotion will happen today.
Chu Yueil as well stayed silent as she wasn't quite sure how to react. If this was any other youth merely only in the True Profound Realm, she would've simply ignored him. And reprimand him for making such bold claims against her disciple.
Yet there was an attractive force inside her telling her to at least hear the boy out. Moreover, from the blushing smile of Lingxi and Qingyue, Chu Yueil guessed their relationship really is genuine.
"I do know Senior Hongyi. She's Qingyue's master and came to take her back to the Frozen Immortal Palace for training, right? What if I told all of you that she will be even better at her boyfriend's side! Now girls!"
'Whir!'
Without giving anyone a chance to respond, Luke and Andrea unleashed their soul powers!
While Qingyue and Lingxi undid Luke's Spirit seal, exuding their real prowess!
In a flash, blue lightning spewed out of Luke gracefully!
It coiled everyone in the warm, bringing upon warmth that made Luke more likable.
Qingyue had an elegant blue ice aura that occasionally sparked with flashes of Luke's blue lightning.
Lingxi had a black lightning aura around herself with sparks of blue lightning.
And finally, Andrea had a much darker black lightning aura that brought upon daunting intimidation to all there. Not even Senior Dongxue was spare from Andrea's curse lightning presence.
However, all of them there couldn't speak as their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets!
"Hmm? Perhaps we should've done it a bit slower?" Lingxi wryly smiles, but it wasn't only Luke's and Andrea's presence that astounded them.
Lingxi herself and Qingyue rock their worlds as well!
Luke carried the aura prowess of an Earthen Core, so did Andrea too. Lingxi now exuded a Spiritual Xiantain aura prowess, and Qingyue spewed out a half step Earthen Core prowess!
The girls jump in realm prowess was all in apart of their merging soul marks with Luke. And now they were witnessing the tremendous shock that comes with it.
It was impossible to fake any auras, no matter the circumstance.
Furthermore, when using items that unleashed a higher prowess than one owns, it easy to tell since that item will have mixed energy. And none of the youths standing here had any mixed essence energy...
"Not just one, not just two, not just three, but all for you have the prowess to surmount at least one realm?!?" Xia Hongyi yelled out in total shock!
A genius with Heaven Defying Prowess that can surmount at most one level appears one in every ten thousand geniuses!
Yet somehow there's now four who all are close together?!
Even Senior Dongxue was shocked. More at her daughter, Andrea and Lingxi prowess. Since she already saw Luke's prowess before she could guess this would happen but who knew the other three girls were on the same wavelength?
"Uhm Master before Luke ask his request, we have one more thing as assurance..." Qingyue suddenly spoke up this along with Lingxi saying,
"Ah, yea! Spirit Power!"
Pointing up with their other fingers, Qingyue and Lingxi formed a grey Spirit Power ball on it!
"We also have Spirit Power too..." Snapping her fingers that ignited in purple soul Spirit Power, Andrea created a plain sword that instantly took Chu Yueil attention.
"Same over here." Letting go of Lingxi's hand, Luke created a purple axe from his soul Spirit Power.
And both weapons shocked Chu Yueil so much since she could accurately sense they held the power that matches a mid-level Sky Lord cultivator!! Even she felt a bit threaten just being in these weapons presence.
All it took was a mere few seconds, but these four teens already tore down any logic that should be applied to the younger generation.
"Now, will you listen to my request?" Luke put away the Spirit axe and resumed holding hands with Lingxi.
Hearing his question a second time, Chu Yueil had to calm her mind as she stared into Luke's gentle face. Once again, out of everyone here, Luke stole her eyes the most during their display of power.
Her soul felt that longing towards him, and even now, Chu Yueil was starting to see Luke in a better light. But she pushed such small thoughts down and said in a slight awe tone after taking a short breath.
"You...want to take Qingyue with you, right? Even if I approve of your prowess and talent, that's not up for me to decide. She will be our grand disciple of the palace, you would have to meet with Asgard Mistress to gain her approval and...well..."
In the end, she had thoughts of telling Luke against it, but somehow she knew it would be useless. After all, could she name any other youths with the Martial Cultivation prowess of surmounting two realms? And also having Spirit Power that can threaten Sky Lord realm cultivators?
The simple answer was, no, she couldn't.
Plus, there wasn't only him, there was also his cousin with roughly the same prowess as him! If they wanted to, they indeed have sufficient prowess to explore the Empire for the experience.
"No matter who it is, we will meet them! I'm more than confident in just a few months with me, Qingyue will massively grow in strength." Luke strikes while the iron is hot and pushed on!
"Fairy Yueil, I do believe Luke should be granted with an audience with Frozen Immortal Palace Mistress. I can, without a doubt, say he, my daughter, Lingxi and Andrea already surpassed all other geniuses in this Empire."
Senior Dongxue had suddenly said shocking the others. Out of everyone here, she has the loftiest status since, despite appearing mortal, no one can tell her actual cultivation.
"Yea, I agree with mom! Big Sis and Luke are practically already at the top of youths!" Yuanba chimed in still in awe of them.
Gazing at Luke's face, which a smile never left it, Chu Yueil soul surged, and in the end, she sighed out.
"Haah, fine get ready, all of you we will leave shortly."
Towards this, Luke and the girls smiled as the first step of their plan went smoothly.
And from the reactions of Chu Yueil, Luke could tell this won't be as difficult as he thought. It really does pay to have a tremendously strong soul and a cheating curse at times.
