In a distant, ancient forest in the Northern Continent, Hui Yue and the Rong Twins are traveling at a leisurely pace. Heading up the front, Hui Yue constantly scans his surroundings, vigilant against beasts due to the forests infamy.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAsVdFXDoD0k
As he continues his vigil, the Rong Twins chat happily, but their chatter has an edge to it, as if they are constantly on guard.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAcfmZfCjKY3
"Rong Ming, when are you going to get a girlfriend? I still remember the time when you fell in love with Hui Yue, thinking she was a girl."1781Please respect copyright.PENANADwKcRnxtxZ
Spluttering, Rong Ming's entire face turned bright red at the mention of "the incident", as they like to call it between each other. Seeing his face, Rong Xing just giggles audibly.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAKzQkPNs3dC
"Sis, please stop teasing me. I am still waiting on the perfect one for me. I can plenty of time, especially after breaking through to Master rank!"1781Please respect copyright.PENANACvQ5gSf9sW
Rong Ming puffs his chest up with pride, a smug expression on his face. Letting out a sigh, Rong Xing simply shakes her head.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAEsuqh5Vzb8
"Until you have the battle power of a Duke class fighter like Hui Yue, I don't want to see you bragging about being Master ranked, bro." 1781Please respect copyright.PENANAG8PGllbXTB
Rong Ming simply waves it off, letting out a sigh.1781Please respect copyright.PENANA0U0UQ1dLwJ
"You and I both know that is impossible. Besides Hui Yue's hard work and luck, he's got Lan Feng, that stupid parrot, teaching him since he was born. We simply cannot compare."1781Please respect copyright.PENANAkIJIhiv8Qt
Hui Yue simply shrugs at their comments, keeping his silent vigil.1781Please respect copyright.PENANA1xpsZlKMm8
The Rong Twins continue their chatter until they walk into a clearing with a beautiful lake in view.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAPTB43Fe4qh
Stepping into the clearing for a better view, Rong Ming's and Hui Yue's breath catch immediately as their eyes dart to the center of the small lake.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAgAlA5QRCxI
Skin white enough to reflect the light, eyes as blue as a clear ocean, and hair long enough to flow into the lake like a waterfall, such an unheard of beauty was standing in the water without care with her eyes seemingly searching the horizon.1781Please respect copyright.PENANA6eL0FZXcob
Not to mention the danger of this ancient forest where seeing Duke class monsters was unheard of, the fact that said beauty did not care for her surroundings attested to said beauty's strength.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAlDG694No07
Instantly on alert, Hui Yue snapped out of his daze and crouched, ready to pounce at a moments notice while Rong Xing slapped the back of Rong Ming's head and went into combat mode as well.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAh3oj23IYXa
The slap rebounded across the lake and got the attention of the beauty as she watched the three, her eyes showing no signs of caution. As she turned around, she showed her ample bosom and hour glass curves.
"W-water... nymph..."1781Please respect copyright.PENANAijBoEC2sTX
Rong Xing immediately dismissed her idiot brother's drooling, completely focused on the woman's movements. After a while, Hui Yue's voice interrupts the silence, except it sounds ancient, yet not as ancient as the forest itself.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAUU6BzB4SLG
"Lady Elemental, we pardon our intrusion into your domain. I, Lan Feng, eternal phoenix beg for forgiveness."1781Please respect copyright.PENANAtDKAqlF7mt
After saying so, Hui Yue's body bowed down politely to the female. Confused, the Rong Twin's followed his lead as they know it was Lan Feng speaking for Hui Yue.1781Please respect copyright.PENANA1WtvtOQeKF
After that declaration, the "Lady Elemental" simply smiled before nodding towards the group. Her mouth opened and a voice as calming as the ocean waves breezed past them, as if speaking to the area they inhibit and not towards themselves.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAsx9s8ixcxy
"I believed all of your kind was exterminated by the menace... good. We may have been as water is to fire, and fire is to water, but you were always polite."1781Please respect copyright.PENANA5tWkThsOan
Her smile widened before turning away, going back to her vacant stare.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAMqcV7jWySL
"Lan Feng, why are we bowing again? Elementals are common."1781Please respect copyright.PENANAiQsm3b043w
Rong Ming is clearly unhappy, frowning as he can't see the beauty when he's bowing.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAu7uHcNooy2
"Idiot! All the Elemental's we've fought were lower elemental's with barely any consciousness. She is a High Tier elemental on the brink of breakthrough to the Elemental Lord level, a step even higher than Saint but lower than God for human practitioners! It is the highest attainable rank that Elemental's can reach as Elemental Kings are formed through a natural process through the melding of elemental essence, not ranked up into!"1781Please respect copyright.PENANAwLD9yvvymA
Hui Yue as Lan Feng quickly explained, keeping his expression neutral but his voice has hints of excitement.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAX7vN7kXSV4
Suddenly, elemental essence started to converge into the center of the lake, swirling around the Lady Elemental. Her vacant look turned into one of ancient power, one that can weigh one down from a single look. Her body turned rigid and her mouth opened, an ancient voice filling the entire area with power laden within.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAuOZNRHY2aD
"I am the water, and the water is me! I, the lake, the lake is I! Converge into one, form the self! Cast aside the mortal, and fill the immortal! Unite the spiritual with the mortal to become one with the immortal!"1781Please respect copyright.PENANAl10lnDZLO2
After speaking, all of the elemental essence surged through her body, allowing the three witnesses to see her very soul as it enlarged and became human sized. Her very soul overlapped her physical body until said body started to disintegrate, clearly unable to withstand the pressure of her cultivation base.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAIz5ni9sAUu
Finally, the process completed. However, her beauty turned ethereal, as if looking upon a god of oceans herself. Her smile turned towards the group, nodding towards them as if thankful they didn't interrupt before she slowly disappeared, as if combining with the lake itself.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAOo1qzlsqxz
Hui Yue and the Rong Twins suddenly gained enlightenment, realizing what they must do to break through, but just as suddenly, as if divine providence, it was forgotten.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAQ82lU8LS9A
'Lan Feng, I have sealed their memory. Once they reach Saint Rank, they will remember and ascend.'1781Please respect copyright.PENANAcx263J22VU
Lan Feng bowed deeply in thanks as her body disappeared.1781Please respect copyright.PENANAczfzuc3H0E
