Well, Rean didn’t really care much whether she liked him or not. “So… what do you want? My shoulder is hurting, by the way.”

Shalendra finally decided to let Rean go before saying, “Didn’t I just tell you? Let me join in that conversation of yours. I just so happened to take a peek at your weird rune, so I want to learn more about it as well.”

Venali shook his head in response. “Unlike this guy, you don’t have anything to add that I don’t know about. Go bother someone else.”

Shalendra was just about to complain when suddenly, Rean patted Venali’s shoulder and said, “There’s no need to feel sad just because she showed more interest in me than you. Come on, share a bit of your knowledge with her. Besides, she might really know a few things or have something that’s of some use. At the very least, she knows a lot more about the runes of the Huring Continent than I do.”

A vein popped on Venali’s forehead after that. “Who the hell feels sad?! Just so you know, your grandfather, I, have no lack of pretenders who would love to do nothing more than marry me! Hell, I could even create a harem if it wasn’t wrong.”

Those words brought a sense of disgust from Shalendra, though. “So, the leader of the Huring Country group intends to build a harem, huh? To think you would be such a pervert.”

Venali almost felt like crying after hearing that. How come a respected leader of the Huring Country’s young generation ended up being similar to a pervert? Everyone treated him with reverence. His elders had many hopes for him. Was he ever treated like that in his life? Somehow, he felt that his life began to go downhill ever since he met those twins. “I’m not a pervert, alright? First of all, I don’t have any intentions of starting a relationship. I dedicated my life to cultivating and never got involved with women before.”

Immediately, Rean took his hand of Venali’s shoulders as an apologetic expression appeared on his face. “I see…so you play on the other team. It’s okay, brother. I have nothing against the choices of other people. If you need someone to talk about it, I’m all ears. Just don’t touch me, okay?”

Shelandra’s eyes also changed after hearing that, and she immediately apologized to Venali. “Sorry, Senior Venali. I was wrong. There is no way you would build a harem with such a…peculiar…taste. So, shall we go ahead and talk a little about formations?”

Venali finally couldn’t hold it anymore. “Fuck you! What the hell are you even talking about? I’m straight! Very, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, straight!” Venali then looked at Shelandra. “Do you wanna test me? Come on! Let’s go to a private room. Then I’ll show you who plays in the other team!”

Venali’s outburst immediately caught the attention of many other disciples around, much to Venali’s despair. “Look what you did!”

“Ahem…” Rean rubbed his backhead, trying to not burst out in laughter. “Sorry, sorry.” He then looked at everyone and said, “Don’t worry, guys. We’re just joking around. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

‘Doesn’t that make things even more suspicious?’ Everyone who heard Rean’s words thought.

Venali simply couldn’t wait anymore and decided to go ahead. “I’m done with this bullshit. If you want, you can come to the study room I reserved.”

Shelandra smiled while she asked, “Does that mean I can come as well?”

“Do whatever you want!” Venali wasn’t even in the mood to argue anymore. If he continued, he might turn into someone whose dream was to build a reverse harem from their words.

Meanwhile, Roan arrived at the arenas. As shown before, many cultivators joined the Outer Sacred Land while just ten went straight to the Inner Sacred Land. However, that didn’t mean one would stay there forever. One could accomplish the Sacred Land’s missions, be promoted by an elder, or reach a cultivation level that gave one the chance to apply for an Inner Sacred Land slot. With that being said, the arenas of the Sacred Land had quite a few Inner Disciples.

“Such enormous arenas…” Roan could tell that space manipulation was being used without regard for Divine Energy consumption. Although the arenas were big, it definitely wasn’t big enough to fit even one of the arenas he was seeing here. Each room was increased in size thanks to the Spatial Formations. Obviously, one could use many different fields, just like the Capture the Flag test during the recruitment.

Roan then turned to the center of the building, ignoring the arenas. That’s because the ones he could see didn’t have cultivators fighting. As for the ones that had cultivators, they were closed so that no one could see what was happening inside. Instead, Roan paid attention to the enormous ranking board.

‘Three different ranks, huh?’ Roan thought. He could see Soul Transformation Realm, Saint Realm, and Elemental Transformation Realm rankings. The difference was that those in the Elemental Transformation Realm rank couldn’t challenge the cultivators in the Saint Realm Ranking. The same thing was applied to Saint Realm cultivators, who didn’t have the right to stay or enter the Soul Transformation Realm Ranking anymore.

Roan noticed something else. ‘However, I can see some Peak Soul Transformation Realm cultivators at the bottom of the Saint Realm Ranking. You can’t use your higher realm to enter a lower realm ranking board. But a lower realm cultivator can try to enter a higher realm ranking board as long as they’re confident in their strength.’ 

Naturally, it interested Roan very much. Although the cultivators here were far above the average ones he could find outside, it would be hard for Roan to find a match in the same cultivation realm. Since he was already at the peak of the Soul Transformation Realm, he could only try entering the Saint Realm Ranking Board. As for Elemental Transformation Realm, Roan wasn’t stupid enough to think he had a shot at it. ‘From what I saw during the competition, Middle Stage Saint Realm would be my limit against those people. The real good ones from top countries I can probably only face at the Initial Stage Saint Realm without using Elemental Exchange.’
