I alone am the Honoured One!

565  Tournament begins!

"Yao Jing has accepted me as her disciple in Alchemy and Velnorah wants me to join her wing." Eh?

Li Jia was surprised to hear this and looked down at Zhao Tian, who was snuggling his face in between her breasts.

She gently hugged his head and asked "Then... you are already an inner court disciple?"

Zhao Tian hugged her waist, his fingers caressing her smooth back "Hm.. not really, since she doesn't have a wing under her, I am still not an inner court disciple."

Feeling his hot breath tickling her chest, Li Jia shuddered as a soft sigh escaped her lips "I see... well, you are talented, so it's understandable for them to court you."

Zhao Tian just chuckled and placed a kiss on her cleavage, letting the warmth of her skin sink into his lips.

Looking at him, Li Jia's eyes condensed, her fingers gently twirling his hair, her other hand resting lightly on his back.

"By the way… you've been staying here every night. What about your wives? You did say you have… eighteen wives, didn't you?" Zhao Tian nodded lazily, his lips brushing against her skin, "Yeah, they're all in seclusion right now. So, I'm here." Li Jia's fingers paused again, her gaze lowering as she absentmindedly twirled a lock of his hair around her finger. "Seclusion, huh…" she murmured, her tone thoughtful. Glancing at her pink nipple, a playful smile appeared on Zhao Tian's face and he opened his lips, devouring her cherry nipple into his mouth.

"Haangh~?"

Li Jia was surprised by the sudden sensation and saw Zhao Tian greedily sucking on her nipple.

"Umngh~ You perverted bastard..." She grasped his head tightly but didn't push him away, her cheeks flushing in excitement.

"Hmngh~~ are you getting horny because your wives are not with you?"

Zhao Tian let his teeth sink deep into her soft flesh, and her legs curled up in slight pain and pleasure.

"Ufff... bastard..."

As Zhao Tian retracted his lips, a small bridge of saliva connected his lips and the pink cherry, which was swollen with his bite mark on it.

He raised his head to look at the deep flush in Li Jia's cheeks and chuckled before leaning up, cuddling his face into the crook of her neck.

Li Jia let out a sigh and pinched his cheek, "You bastard.. always trying to assault me."

Smiling, Zhao Tian hugged her tighter "See, one of these days I am going to assault you for real."

Li Jia's eyes narrowed playfully, and she stuck her tongue out at him. "Baah, do you think my hands are just for show? I'll punch your face, you jerk." Zhao Tian laughed, unfazed by her mock threat, and pressed a kiss to her collarbone again, "Yeah, yeah… we'll see. When that day comes, you'll be like a little lamb, too shy to resist. You won't even fight back." Li Jia's blush deepened, but she refused to back down. She pinched his cheek again, harder this time, and huffed. "Dream on, pervert."

Zhao Tian leaned back slightly, propping himself up on one elbow as he looked at her with a lopsided grin. "Oh, it's not a dream, dear. It's just… inevitable."

"Inevitable, my ass!" she shot back, her hand darting out to pinch his nose.

"Keep dreaming, jerk. You'll never get the chance."

With a chuckle, he caught her wrist before she could pinch him again and pressed a quick kiss to her palm.

The unexpected gesture left her momentarily speechless, her lips parting slightly in surprise.

"See? You're already starting to fall for my charm."

Li Jia's jaw dropped, and she immediately smacked his shoulder. "Bastard!" she exclaimed, though the laughter in her voice betrayed her amusement.

"Keep that up, and I'll really punch you, you smug jerk."

Zhao Tian leaned back, laughing as he raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll stop… for now."

Li Jia shook her head, a soft smile tugging at her lips despite her best efforts to appear annoyed. "You're such a jerk," she muttered, though her tone was more affectionate than angry. "And yet, here you are, cuddling with me," Zhao Tian quipped, pulling her closer once more.

Li Jia rolled her eyes but didn't pull away, letting herself sink into the warmth of his arms.

Despite his teasing, there was a comfort in his presence she couldn't deny.

As much as he drove her crazy, there was something about him that made her feel at ease... safe, even.

"Fine," she said softly, resting her head against his chest.

"But don't get too full of yourself, bastard. I'm still keeping my hands ready."

Zhao Tian let out a soft laugh, and he kissed the top of her head. "Yeah, yeah.. sleep for now."

"Hm, Good night, Tian."

"Good night."

...

Three days had passed since the preliminary rounds of the Inner Court Entrance Exam began, and the Sect's atmosphere was abuzz with excitement and tension. Disciples from all corners of the sect crowded the various arenas, cheering for their favorites or anxiously waiting for their own turn to compete. The sound of clashing weapons, roaring crowds, and the occasional bursts of energy filled the air, creating an electric ambiance. In one such arena, a loud *THOOM* reverberated as a young man was sent flying through the air, crashing into the wall with enough force to leave a noticeable crack. "Argh!"

With a cough, he fell down sluggishly, and blood dripped from the corner of his lips as he shakily raised his head to glare at a strikingly handsome young man standing tall in the center of the arena. "ZHAO TIAN WINS!"

Hearing the announcer's voice, Zhao Tian who was standing in the arena smiled faintly and walked out of the arena.

Some people who were watching the matches were amused to hear his name "So he is that junior?"

"The one who killed two inner court disciples?"

"Yeah... him."

Right now, the preliminary rounds for the Inner Court Entrance Exam is happening.

There are a lot of arenas around the sect and fights are happening there simultaneously.

During these time periods, sometimes Wing masters may come to take a look, and if they see talented disciples, they can choose them.

But still, in the end, its the disciple's choice to join them.

They can apply to be an inner court disciple when they reach the 5th level of Stellar Essence stage.

But by participating in the tournament, they can show off their skills, and they might catch the eyes of a Wing Master who wants to accept them as core disciples.

Walking out of the small arena, Zhao tian glanced at Li Jia, who stood there with her usual gentle smile, her arms crossed as she leaned casually against a stone pillar.

"Shall we leave?"

"Yeah, let's go." she replied, slipping her arm through his without hesitation. Her grip was light but possessive, a silent declaration to anyone watching.

As they walked side by side through the bustling sect grounds, the noise of the ongoing matches faded into the background. "By the way," Li Jia began, glancing up at him with a playful tilt of her head. "Do you have any more matches scheduled for today?" Zhao Tian shook his head. "No, my next match is tomorrow." A smile bloomed on Li Jia's face "Then shall we go out to eat something?"

"Of course."

"Hehe..."
