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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANApAtDIdU8Dc
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAk6SgbBNeV9
"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."2328Please respect copyright.PENANAf2iy5zBeCm
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAVjubccocED
"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!"2328Please respect copyright.PENANAneE58gQXm3
Rong Ming puffs his chest up with pride, a smug expression on his face. Letting out a sigh, Rong Xing simply shakes her head.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA5wm75kccJJ
"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." 2328Please respect copyright.PENANA49GjVPHYkG
Rong Ming simply waves it off, letting out a sigh.2328Please respect copyright.PENANApgx2JOojsw
"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."2328Please respect copyright.PENANADQcy5oqfoo
Hui Yue simply shrugs at their comments, keeping his silent vigil.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAheg6utpFVB
The Rong Twins continue their chatter until they walk into a clearing with a beautiful lake in view.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA5hArwGSACw
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAZJCLbWZnyt
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAlN0q3JXMtk
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAfuKV7HVXbN
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4X1uhOga
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..."2328Please respect copyright.PENANAiTE7z2OcKV
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAl0Q9qAaVVJ
"Lady Elemental, we pardon our intrusion into your domain. I, Lan Feng, eternal phoenix beg for forgiveness."2328Please respect copyright.PENANAHEI7Gwv4cy
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA19Mav5Op7s
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA24kiAlFIML
"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."2328Please respect copyright.PENANAIffCT3xVuh
Her smile widened before turning away, going back to her vacant stare.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA78zjwW1BFF
"Lan Feng, why are we bowing again? Elementals are common."2328Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ovrgn3EX
Rong Ming is clearly unhappy, frowning as he can't see the beauty when he's bowing.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA3SXucTo5xY
"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!"2328Please respect copyright.PENANA6n1s05wuPX
Hui Yue as Lan Feng quickly explained, keeping his expression neutral but his voice has hints of excitement.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAPPknmQcQSg
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAA7FmrSFzhg
"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!"2328Please respect copyright.PENANApFFrtW2u5T
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAGpWNBuyvfy
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAqGNkZeChRo
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.2328Please respect copyright.PENANAjhaMJT10dx
'Lan Feng, I have sealed their memory. Once they reach Saint Rank, they will remember and ascend.'2328Please respect copyright.PENANACelZUkY7aU
Lan Feng bowed deeply in thanks as her body disappeared.2328Please respect copyright.PENANA0lrrjoXGvU
