Chapter 260: Don't attract its attention! Don't let it notice you!
After some time, Asher's token began glowing, indicating that it was his turn to take the test.
Upon seeing this, Lei Liwei turned to him with a smirk on her face and said, "Hehe... It looks like it's finally your turn now. I wonder what kind of spirit you have. After all, if your spirit isn't even comparable to mine, then I would be really disappointed."
Asher just gave her a mysterious smile in response before walking towards the Spirit Star Obelisk with a confident look on his face.
When the numerous pairs of eyes landed on him, all kinds of emotions flashed within them, such as doubt, curiosity, interest, expectation, admiration, jealousy, anger, and many others.
Yet Asher ignored all of them and continued walking towards the obelisk, unaffected by their intense gazes.
Zhang Meiling was also one of those who were paying attention to him, and when she noticed his calmness despite all the looks being directed toward him, she couldn't help but feel impressed by his self-control. As there wasn't any arrogance or pride in his expression, but instead he seemed quite relaxed and unconcerned about what others thought of him.
"Wow... This is interesting. Mei'er, this is my first time seeing you show an interest in any man. Are you in love with him?" Zhang Lingling whispered with a mischievous grin on her face, drawing the attention of Zhang Meiling, who looked at her older sister with a faint smile.
"No, I'm just surprised by his self-confidence. Besides, I happened to meet him during a beast hunting trial, and we exchanged greetings and became acquainted with each other. There is nothing more to it."
"Oh, I see. Then I guess it's okay for me to play around with him for a bit. After all, he is really handsome. Right, Xueling? What do you think of him?"
"What? Why do you keep forgetting the instructions of Aunt to not attract attention to us? It's not our hometown where you can charm men and make them act like brainless morons following your wishes to earn your affection.
On the contrary, here, we won't have anyone to rely on if they use force to get you into bed." Her tone was severe, as she didn't want her little sister to mess around and cause trouble for them.
"Okay, okay, I got it. There is no need to lecture me about it anymore." Zhang Lingling sighed in defeat as she gave up on the idea of messing around with Asher.
On the other side, Long Lingyu also paid attention to him, as he left quite the first impression on her and wanted to see his Spirit.
While Cai Yan had a mysterious smile on her lips as she looked forward to witnessing the reactions of everyone once they saw his Spirit.
Soon after, Asher arrived in front of the obelisk, and his eyes flickered with a faint hint of amusement before he placed his hand on it, sending out his spirit essence. "Hahaha… Why don't I make this an unforgettable experience for them?"
RUMBLE!
The very next moment, an invisible force erupted from Asher's body, causing the air around him to tremble as if something was going to happen soon.
Immediately afterward, countless strands of black smoke began flowing out of his body, spreading out in all directions like foggy mist, covering the entire area within seconds.
The audience who witnessed this phenomenon couldn't help but stare at it with wide eyes, filled with curiosity and confusion.
A few moments later, their expression changed into one of bewilderment as they saw the black smoke surrounding them cover everything in darkness, including the sky, blocking out all light, thus turning day into night.
It was a mass of eerie darkness that spread throughout the land, giving off an ominous feeling of dread and fear and making people's hearts beat faster as cold sweat trickled down their faces.
Some were even starting to panic due to this strange occurrence, but before anyone could react, they felt a chill running down their spines as if they were being watched by something sinister lurking in the darkness, making them freeze up in place to prevent themselves from drawing attention toward themselves.
The atmosphere became heavy, and it seemed like time itself had stopped moving altogether as deathly silence filled the entire area, engulfing everyone within its grasp.
Then, after what felt like an eternity, a faint light shone within the darkness, and soon afterward, a giant, serpentine silhouette appeared above the field with a pair of dark eyes staring at everyone below it.
Its long body was covered in black scales that gleamed from strange markings that ran all over its surface, giving off an eerie glow.
The moment their gazes landed on it, an overwhelming sense of fear and despair enveloped them as they felt their hearts being crushed under an invisible force.
It was like staring at something so terrifying and powerful that they could never hope to fight against it, even if they wanted to, making them realize how insignificant they were in comparison to this creature.
Even the elders and guests who had strong cultivation bases felt a sense of dread coursing through their veins when they looked at this entity.
It was because they sensed a deep, primal fear rising up within them, as if they were standing before something that could easily devour them whole without any difficulty whatsoever.
They could feel their minds becoming clouded with dark thoughts, and it became harder to maintain their composure under such circumstances.
Their palms were getting sweaty, their breathing became heavy, and their bodies started trembling uncontrollably.
All of them had the same thoughts in their minds: Don't attract its attention! Don't let it notice you!
Yet the Dark Serpent didn't do anything; instead, it just remained silent as it observed everyone beneath it, but despite this, no one dared to move or make any noise due to the sheer pressure exerted upon them by its mere presence alone.
