Chapter 13: You really want me dead?
A magnificent phoenix, its feathers ablaze with vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold, soared gracefully above the heads of the participants. Its wings spanned wide, casting a radiant glow that illuminated the entire arena.
The young girl with the stunning blue hair couldn\'t help but be captivated by the sight.
"Is that a... phoenix?" she mumbled in disbelief.
Until now, she had only heard about Phoenix. This was her first time seeing one! It was said that Phoenix was one of the Mythical Beasts.
A Phoenix was blessed by flames. It could burn anything in its path. It could also revive from its ashes.
The only way to kill a Pheonix was to kill the master who was bound by the soul with the Phoenix.
That\'s why, Phoenix never accepted a human master. Because accepting a human master was no different than accepting a weakness!
Only a few other Mythical Beasts like a Dragon or a Celestial White Tiger could compare to a fully grown phoenix.
She had heard stories about the legendary Phoenix, a symbol of rebirth and power, but to witness its majestic presence in person was beyond her wildest dreams.
"Looks like he really does know how to make an entrance," Elder Li looked at the Phoenix above, realizing who had arrived.
Usually, most Elders arrived using a spatial portal. But for some reason, this guy had chosen to arrive this way.
He thought that Eren wanted to make a good entrance as it was his first time where he was going to be accepting a disciple.
He didn\'t realize that it wasn\'t the reason at all. The reason Eren didn\'t arrive with a spatial portal was because he literally couldn\'t.
He didn\'t know how to create a portal unlike the others. He didn\'t have the memories of Elder Ren.
He didn\'t know how to use the skills of that guy as all the skills were related to understanding, and without those memories, he couldn\'t use them.
Moreover, since Elder Ren had died early on and didn\'t fight much, he didn\'t even know what this guy was physically capable of in the first place.
As the Phoenix circled above the sky, many disciples looked at the majestic creature. Some could also see the silhouette of a man, standing atop the Phoenix, looking down on them like a god.
Most youngsters knew that it must be an Elder. But none of them were able to guess who.
Elder Li and Elder Zhang Wei were famous. Even their clans had heard about these two elders so they were able to recognise them based on the change in surroundings with their appearance.
Elder Ren was different. He wasn\'t famous. None of the youngsters had ever heard of an Elder of the Demon Sect who possessed an actual Phoenix.
"Greetings, Elder Ren!" The Sect Disciples greeted the man atop the Phoenix.
It was only now that the participants heard the name of the Elder. But even with the name, they couldn\'t recognise him.
"Elder Ren? Was there someone like that at the Demon Sect?"
"My Uncle is an Elder at the Demon Sect. He sent us a lot of information about the Elders at the sect, but there was no mention of any Elder Ren. Is he new?"
"Is he a hermit that isn\'t famous because he stays in the sect, unlike the other Elders who make a name for themselves whenever they go out?"
Many youngsters were thinking about the person addressed as Elder Ren.
They didn\'t know about this man. But they were certain of one thing! That man looked dignified!
He was high in the sky, and they couldn\'t see him clearly. But they could still feel that the man was handsome beyond comprehension.
With the sun behind him, and flames all around him, a beautiful silhouette was cast, captivating everyone\'s attention.
As they continued to gaze up at him in awe, they couldn\'t help but wonder what remarkable skills and knowledge this mysterious figure possessed.
Many female participants couldn\'t take their eyes off the man above.
Even though they didn\'t know him, since he was an Elder of the Demon Sect, his strength was guaranteed.
While everyone looked at him with awe, Eren stood atop the Phoenix, sweating.
"Do you really want me to die?" Eren asked in a low voice, looking before him.
There were four options in front of him.
[Option 1: A good man doesn\'t make people wait!Jump down without the help of the Phoenix and show everyone your acrobatic skills.
Reward: Heavenly Cloud Step Skill (High Tier)]
[Option 2: A King must never cower! A King must stand tall, even if the sky falls apart! Stay where you are, looking down at everyone else with dignity.
Reward: Sword Emperor\'s Aura (Unique Tier)]
[Option 3: Shout loudly that every participant this time seems like trash and that none of them are worthy of your tutelage! Return to your room after rejecting everyone.
Reward: Seven Slash Sword Skill (High Tier)]
[Option 4: Time is precious. You don\'t want to waste any time. Select a Disciple before the beginning of the Entrance Exam. Take your disciple with you, saying that he didn\'t need to participate anymore.
Reward: Celestial Wisdom Scroll (High Tier)]
Eren looked at the options, feeling as if these options were really asking him to die. All these options were no different than ticking time bombs.
Last time, he couldn\'t even jump down from a few meters of height without breaking his bones. How could he accept the first option and jump down from such a great height?
If he was alone, he might have done that since the Phoenix Tear could heal him, but in front of everyone? Absolutely impossible!
As for the second option, how was it different from disrespecting the other Elders? Each of these elders could kill him a thousand times over before he could even plead for help.
The third and fourth options were just as bad.
He wasn\'t the Sect Master to be able to accept a Disciple without the Sect Entrance Exam. As for calling everyone trash? He didn\'t even want to think about it.
