"This is really quite interesting," mumbled Yue as she looked at the pagoda in front of her.
"Is this safe?" asked Yue as she slightly grumbled about the breach of privacy in her heart.
"It's very safe, you really are quite lucky," said the voice of Xu Lanfeng as it resounded around the room, aware of Yue's scruples, even though it was for her own protection, she imagined it felt quite annoying to be monitored every single moment.
But even so, Xu Lanfeng would not take any chances, as this was not the Three Thousand Regions, several protection mechanisms created by the Origin Sword Sect to it's most precious disciples were useless here.
"Umm, good," mumbled Yue before trying to enter the first floor of the pagoda.
After the pagoda verified her age, Xu Yue came face to face with her opponent.
Curiously, the opponents in front of Xu Yue kept changing without the two sides having fought.
Suddenly, an opponent managed to remain in front on Xu Yue.
"What is this monster?" mumbled Ren Xiaoping as he tried to move his body, sadly for him, his body did not move, even though could not mave, Ren Xiaoping, as the biggest genius the Ren clan had seen in the past million years still tried to use his hole cards
"Monster," mumbled Xu Yue as a peculiar expression appeared on her face, despair appeared on Ren Xiaoping's face for only a moment before he once again disappeared.
After a few more figures flashed in front of Xu Yue at an extreme pace, Xu Yue finished her fifty battles at the lowest age group.
...
Looking at his newest opponent, Ling Chen sighed in his heart.
"The quality of these opponents is too bad, no one can put up a good fight," mumbled Ling Chen as he once again smashed his opponent to pieces.
As he said that, Ling Chen suddenly had a weird feeling in his gut, he shouldn't have said that.
The moment his next opponent appeared, Ling Chen almost felt his jaw drop.
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ling Chen felt a weird mix of attractiveness and terror.
"Ling Chen from the Three Thousand Regions, I hope beauty forgives me," said Ling Chen as he cupped his fist and bowed before letting out a punch towards Yue, who had just appeared.
A surprised and happy expression appeared on Yue's face as she instantly moved her head sideways and let out a punch to Ling Chen's stomach.
"In terms of physical strength alone, he is even somewhat stronger than me," thought Yue as she felt her fist connect to Ling Chen's stomach.
"Xu Yue from the Three Thousand Regions," said Yue as her fist threw Ling Chen into the opposing wall at a fast speed.
Feeling the pain in his stomach, an incredibly surprised expression appeared on Ling Chen's face.
"Requesting increased arena size," said Ling Chen a moment before the arena increased the over then thousand Li in size.
"Why so big?" thought Ling Chen, completely unaware of the size of Yue's true body.
Before even a moment passed, Ling Chen stopped thinking about such things, the five elements in his body, which were separated, then began mixing, unlike the grey aura from before, this time the actual elements themselves had fused.
"The Dao of the Five Elements fits quite well with this style of battle," said Xu Yue as she now seriously dodged Ling Chen's attacks with using everything she had, including her qi, unlike before.
Even though Ling Chen heard Xu Yue compliment him, a frown appeared on his face.
"She's still holding back something," thought Ling Chen as he traveled thousands of Li in mere moments and let out countless punches towards Yue.
Unlike most other cultivators, Ling Chen's method of attack was extremely simple, he punched his opponent, and if the latter managed to survive, he punched again and again, untill the former was dead of defeated.
"Her soul is too strong, she can predict even my attacks," thought Ling Chen as he began using more and more indirect attacks, trying his best to trick Xu Yue.
"I'm the one using most of my strength, she will wear me out," thought Ling Chen before coming to a decision.
"Be careful," said Ling Chen as he gave Xu Yue a warning even though nothing would happen even if someone died in the arena.
Seeing that her own opponent warned her of the attack that was coming her way, a smile appeared on Xu Yue's face.

Unknown to her, right now, five different auras began coming out of the five floors of the Five Treasure Pagoda, these auras then fused into one black aura and went into Ling Chen's body.
Not even a small moment after that, Ling Chen let out a devastating frontal punch towards Xu Yue.
"My body is not fast enough to dodge this, and I will be defeated if that touches me," thought Xu Yue as she looked at the punch coming her way.
Seeing the terrifying aura around the punch, Yue did not falter, merely sighing.
"I admit you have won in a battle of physical strength, for the first time in my life someone has bested me in something," said Xu Yue as a sword appeared in her hands.
Before Ling Chen could register what happened, both his punch and entire body, even with the reinforcement of the Five Treasure Pagoda was cut in two.
Ling Chen felt as if his body was separated in two dimensions, even as he tried to make his body whole again, something he had easily done long ago and could do even more effortlessly now, he felt as if a Boundless Dimension separated the two halves of his body.
"Good battle," mumbled Xu Yue as the two halves of Ling Chen's body were cut into small pieces mere moments later.
...
As he woke up, only one thing was on Ling Chen's mind, even though he could not react to it, he had managed to catch a glimpse of the majesty.
Remembering how Xu Yue looked when she cut him in half, a unwiling smile appeare don Ling Chen's face.
"How beautiful," mumbled Ling Chen as he remembered the battle he had just fought in more detail.
As he reached the last part, and once again watched himself be cut into small pieces, a large smile appeared on Ling Chen's face.
"So many weaknesses," mumbled Ling Chen as he watched Xu Yue abuse those weaknesses again and again, after a few moments, Ling Chen began rectifying the weaknesses he had seen and searched for even more.
"I will surpass her," mumbled Ling Chen as he gritted his teeth, with a determined look flashing through his eyes
Unbeknownst to Xu Yue, at after this battle someone began chasing after her.
...
Looking at her new opponent after the last battle, a disappointed look appeared on Yue's face.
"No luck, still too weak," mumbled Xu Yue as she bashed her opponent's head in with a brutal punch, although these opponents were still too weak for Xu Yue to take seriously, at least they weren't a total joke, unlike the first age group.
After a few moments of battle, Xu Yue defeated her last opponent, and once again reached victory in another floor of the pagoda, as such she reappeared in front of the three-storied pagoda.
As she looked at the last floor of the pagoda, a frown appeared on Xu Yue's face, after a few moments of contemplation, she did not go further and try to challenge the last one.
After a few moments, Xu Yue began looking through the rewards she could get from the second floor, some disappointment flashed through her eyes as she looked through the exchange list.
Xu Yue took one look at the techniques available in the shop and began looking somewhere else, none of them interesting her.
"These are some really good treasures for someone under ten thousand years of age," thought Xu Yue as she began looking at the treasure section, unbeknownst to even Xu Yue herself, she unconsciously did not put herself in this group.
"That's good, now I won't be any lower than that main body," mumbled Xu Yue as the disappointment in her eyes disappeared as she looked at the robe that could be exchanged.
Sadly for Yue, her favorite robe, the one Xu Yue obtained from an ice spirit in the trial pagoda, stayed on the main body.
As such, Yue had to bear wearing a normal Heaven-Rank robe, which she personally thought looked much worse.
"It would fit well with the robe the main body wears," mumbled Yue as she looked at the fiery red robe in front of her before putting it on.
"A little bit more revealing than the previous one, It's perfect," mumbled Xu Yue as she looked at herself, a somewhat arrogant smile appearing on her face.
After admiring how the robe looked, Yue began feeling the defensive properties of the Peak Heaven Ranked robe and smiled.
"In terms of defense it's a bit worse than the previous one but it's still good," mumbled Yue as she ice spirit that created her previous robe came to mind.
"I should pay her a visit," mumbled Xu Yue as she slightly licked her lips remembering how good, the spirit treated her.
...
Looking at the Zither in her hands, Shi Yao smiled as a melodious tune enveloped the room mere moments later.
"You have improved well, although your music was very good before, it's now much better," said Xu Yue as she relaxed in her bath.
"Shi Yao thanks mistress for her praise," said Shi Yao as happiness enveloped her.
Looking at her sister, a smile appeared on Shi Xia's face, but even so, she continued dancing, occasionally her eyes going to Ye Qiao, who was bathing some distance away, unlike how she usually glued herself to Xu Yue.
"My work paid off," thought Shi Yao as she continued playing music for Xu Yue although she barely held in her tears of happiness.
Suddenly, Xu Yue looked at the two sisters.
"You two can go breakthrough, and cultivate well, It would be annoying to have to change maids all the time," said Xu Yue as she threw two spatial storage bags towards the two sisters upon noticing their Peak Soul Enlightenment cultivation base.
Shi Yao and Shi Xia immediately bowed to Xu Yue with extreme happiness in their eyes, the two of them then exited the bath and went to their abode.
"Huh, you really became emotional, that's unlike you," said Xu Yue as she looked at Ye Qiao, who was also relaxing in the bath.
Even though Xu Yue talked with her, Ye Qiao seemed absent-minded, with the scene of her meeting two little orphan sisters going continuously playing in her mind.
"Maybe I really became attached to them," mumbled Ye Qiao as she kept remembering things she had done with the two sisters.
"This sister's really are innocent, they can even get a conniving snake to drop her guard," said Xu Yue as she appeared behind Ye Qiao and embraced the latter.
Unlike usual, Ye Qiao did not respond and merely rested in Xu Yue's embrace, eventually managing to somehow wall asleep in it.
"Snakes can also be quite cute," mumbled Xu Yue as she went to the side of the bath and sat in a position more comfortable for Ye Qiao.
...
"You are gonna have to live well without big sister, alright Qiao'er," asked a young woman as she looked at the young Ye Qiao with pain in her eyes.
"Qiao'er will be strong," mumbled Ye Qiao as she quietly embraced her big sister, hiding away her tears.
"I know Qiao'er is strong, big sister will always be with you, but you must remember, don't leave the cave abode until you are strong enough, big sister will lead them away," said the woman as she gave Ye Qiao one last kiss on the forehead.
"Yes big sister," said Ye Qiao, a determined look appearing on her face as she watched her big sister leave.
...
"Big sister don't leave..." mumbled Ye Qiao as her hug on Xu Yue tightened, tears now streaming down her eyes.
Looking at the crying Ye Qiao, Xu Yue began silently calming her down.
"Don't worry, big sister Yue is here," mumbled Xu Yue as Ye Qiao finally calmed down.
