Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: I Expected You To Be More Original.
Asher walked out of the manor with Nadia and the rest by his side, making their way towards the teleportation formation in front of the manor.

It was located beside the fountain, near the main entrance.

This formation was very complex in terms of its inscriptions and runic patterns, as it had several layers forming into different parts.

The teleportation formation was connected to all the important areas around the Twilight Mist Sect, making it possible for the disciples to travel back and forth within the limits of the sect without using much time.

Once they reached the center of the formation, Asher waved his Sect Disciple Token and let the formation activate and form a portal leading to the main square of the Twilight Mist Sect.

Soon, everyone arrived at the wide main square, where all the disciples were gathering.

Some were talking among themselves while others were observing new disciples that had just joined and then began bickering about which one of them was the strongest.

However, all the new disciple’s focus was on the huge pagoda that towered over the main square.

The enormous building was over three hundred meters tall with ten floors.

Its magnificence was beyond what the disciples had expected. The whole structure was exquisitely constructed, giving off a unique aura of enchantment and prestige.

Asher looked at the disciples gathered in front of the pagoda, scanning their numbers and calculating them to be around a few thousand, and there seemed to be a distinct pressure in the air, as if they were going to fight a war or something.

However, soon, Asher’s group attracted everyone’s attention, as the women by his side were eye candy for all the young disciples present in the square.

Their beautiful features and alluring bodies made the entire male population of the disciples stop and pay attention to them, becoming infatuated the moment they laid their eyes upon them.

But it wasn’t long before their gazes wandered to Asher, who stood between them. And all the new disciples felt as if cold water was dumped on them, making them break out in a cold sweat.

Their eyes shot wide open as their expressions filled with fear and nervousness after glancing at him. After all, they still remember Asher’s spirit, which gave them an ominous presence that terrified them.

Thus, they quickly shifted their eyes and remained quiet. They feared that they might offend him by their simple action of looking at his girls.

Yet, it wasn’t the same for the senior disciples, who didn’t know him, and they continued to ogle their whole figures without restraint.

Ignoring all of that, Asher looked at Scarlet and asked, “Hey, Scarlet, do you know what event it is? Do you have any information about this?”

“Yes, it’s actually a ranking test. After we enter the pagoda, we will have to fight against the opponents that are manifested by the formations inside the pagoda. After we defeat them, we will advance through floors where even stronger enemies will be waiting for us. The more we advance, the greater the number of people we have to fight, and the harder it will be. Our ranking will depend on how many opponents we beat and which floor we reach.” She explained, giving him information about the event.

“Fight?” Lei Liwei repeated before continuing as lightning flashed in her eyes. “That sounds interesting. I can’t wait to go all out and fight against various opponents. In the sect recruitment trial, I didn’t get to unleash my full strength.”

Her eyes shone with excitement as she grinned, making others chuckle with her enthusiasm.

But before anyone could say anything, a group of disciples walked over to them, standing right in front of Asher.

There were five people in total. Three men and two women.

One of the men seemed like the leader, having a haughty demeanor as he held the two women by their waists with a provocative smirk on his face.

Seeing this group, the disciples around them began whispering among themselves. They recognized all five of them and were surprised to see them approaching Asher.

Meanwhile, Asher didn’t know any of these people, except for one. He was his cousin from the second branch of the family and Mia’s stepbrother, Samuel.

However, Asher didn’t care about him, as he never liked this fellow, who always gave him a strange feeling whenever they met.

With a smile, Samuel greeted him, “Hello, Young Master Asher. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. How have you been?”

“Cousin Samuel,” Asher responded with a slight nod. “I am fine; thank you for asking. What brings you here? Are you also participating in the ranking test?”

Samuel’s eyes twitched as he heard his indifferent tone, but he maintained his smile.

But before he could say anything, the leader male disciple, Wang Wei, stepped forward while sneering.

Then, he looked at Scarlet, Cecil, Nadia, Cai Yan, and Lei Liwei before finally looking at Asher with disdain and saying, “Hey, brat, I heard you’re the one that everyone is talking about. The one and only Mythical Rank Spirit holder that got special treatment from the sect. I have come here to see what’s so special about you. But you don’t look like anything special to me.”

Upon hearing Wang Wei’s words, the crowd immediately got heated up as they watched Asher’s reaction.

They wanted to see how he would react after being openly provoked by a senior disciple in front of so many people.

Meanwhile, Asher remained silent for a few seconds before chuckling.

He then shook his head as he spoke, “Have you never read a novel before? You are acting just like a typical bad guy who acts tough, trying to act all high and mighty. Although I expected you to be more original.”

Everyone turned quiet upon hearing Asher’s words as their expressions froze, especially Wang Wei, whose face turned dark as his eyes narrowed.

However, soon, a loud laughter broke the silence.

“Hahaha… Damn it, Asher, I have to agree with you. He is just like the villain of an overused cliche.” Lei Liwei burst into laughter as she looked at Wang Wei, making others chuckle as well.
