Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Chapter 385 [Bonus Chapter]Battle Maiden Sect Entrance Exam Part 4



Up in the sky, Elder Sandra and Celaine looked down and watched the disciples run up the mountain. Some were fighting beasts while in their weakened state, while others were attacking other participants in hopes of collecting more tokens. Then there are the ones who just want to reach the Outer Court without any trouble.

Occasionally, Elder Sandra will have to save a participant's life, and when that happens, she just wraps her Qi around them and throws them off the mountain while leaving a message in their head that says: "You failed."

A few hours went by, and Elder Sandra was starting to get bored, so she decided to talk with Celaine.

"Is there anyone in this exam you find particularly interesting? Maybe those three friends you were hanging out with earlier?" Elder Sandra asked.

Celaine pondered for a second before shaking her head, "It's hard to tell. From my point of view, they all look relatively talented and hard-working. They are all determined to make it to the top, even at the risk of their lives. As for my friends, there's not much for me to say. They are in a league of their own."

"Oh really? What makes you say that? I can tell they are definitely unique and strong for their cultivation, but this isn't a test of strength."

Elder Sandra's curiosity was piqued when she heard Celaine's claim.

"Well, although the blonde-haired girl, Maria, might be an idiot, she's also strong. I doubt the seal placed on her is causing her any real problems other than a loss of strength. The black-haired girl, Asami, is a bit of a mystery, but she should be able to overcome this trial without much difficulty. As for the woman with fox tails, Mira… Well, once she reaches the top, this will no longer be a test but a slaughter."

Elder Sandra's sight immediately locked onto Mira when she heard what Celaine said, as she was curious why a talented young girl like Celaine would have such high praise for another.

What she saw surprised her quite a bit.

Mira was just strolling up the mountain with her hands behind her back, almost like she was out for an afternoon walk, but with her extraordinary senses, Elder Sandra could tell that Mira was properly adjusting her pace to keep up with her loss of strength.

Although Mira wasn't running up the mountain like the others, she would definitely be the first person to reach the top since she's able to keep such a steady pace proportionate to her strength.

Another thing Elder Sandra noticed was that whenever a beast came close, Mira would glance in its direction, release a bit of her bloodlust, and keep walking. Just from that sliver of killing intent that was released, Elder Sandra could easily determine that Mira was a dangerous person. Anyone able to release such terrifying killing intent is definitely not ordinary.

Suddenly, Mira stopped and looked up in the sky in Elder Sandra's direction. Although Elder Sandra was camouflaging herself and Celaine with her Qi, she still couldn't fully escape Mira's senses.

Still, Mira wasn't able to see them and only knew that someone dangerous was staring at her, but since she didn't feel anything other than curiosity, she stopped looking up at the sky and continued marching up the mountain.

"Who… Who is that girl?" Elder Sandra gulped and said with a hint of excitement and also anxiety. She didn't feel anxiety for herself but the other participants. If such a dangerous person appeared in front of them and released that sliver of killing intent toward them, it really would be a slaughter.

Only those who have been embroiled in war before would be able to keep their minds sane after experiencing such a bloody killing intent.

Celaine sighed, then revealed a slight smile and said, "That's Mira. Other than knowing where she was born and grew up, I don't know much else, but I do know that she has an immense amount of battle experience. I've fought her hundreds of times, and every time, it feels like I'm facing an army rather than a single person. That's why I'm saying this will be slaughter once she reaches the top because from what I know about Mira, she'll probably stop just right outside the Outer Court and take down anyone that comes near."

Although Elder Sandra didn't know anything about Mira, she could tell just from her aura and the killing intent that she was an experienced warrior.

"Well, she probably won't kill them since this is just a test, but she won't be gentle," Celaine said before focusing on the other participants. She had no interest in watching Mira beat down a bunch of rookies.

Elder Sandra didn't say anything but kept watching Mira for a few more minutes before going back to spectating the others.

Soon, around 16 hours passed by, and unsurprisingly, Mira made it to the top before anyone else, and just like Celaine predicted, she stopped not far outside the Outer Court and waited.

About half an hour passed after Mira reached the top, and finally, the second person appeared.

"Hey, Mira! I had a feeling you'd be blocking the finish line! Hehehe~ Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to help! We'll split the tokens we steal *ahem* earn in half. How about it? That's a good deal, right?" Maria said as she approached Mira with a smile.

"Do as you like, though I don't really need your help, to begin with." Mira waved Maria off and said.

"I know, I know, but isn't this more interesting? Now, you have to leave your back to me and trust that I won't fail you." Maria chuckled and sat down next to Mira.

Mira sighed, but she couldn't refute Maria's words. It is a little more interesting like this though it still felt like a drag. Fighting against people who can't use Qi and barely have any strength just isn't interesting.

This is especially so now that she has nine extra limbs, those being her tails.

Fortunately, it seems she can take a small break as they wait for other people to appear.
