Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Soon, Elder Katrina crouched down on the floor next to Asher and extended her hands towards him.

Then she put her soft, dainty fingers on his chest before letting her spirit essence seep out of them and flow into his body.

This stream of spirit essence passed through his skin, moving deep into his flesh like the water flowing in the river, and helped close his wound by accelerating its regeneration.

At the same time, she also guided more spirit essence into his right arm to heal it as well.

Although her eyes were closed, Elder Katrina had an intimate connection with her spirit essence, which allowed her to sense everything in Asher's body.

Due to this, she could feel that his wounds were deeper than she thought. They went beyond his flesh and reached his bones, leaving a large crack in them, which would have affected his right arm if it wasn't healed soon.

Moreover, Asher was bleeding internally too, and the spirit essence she had sent inside his body helped to stop the blood loss.

As she continued to heal him, Elder Katrina noticed that his spirit veins had a very peculiar flow to them, with more spirit essence running through them than in normal people.

With just a glance, she knew that the rate at which he absorbed spirit essence was faster than what was possible for a human being.

In fact, it was as if he had the bloodline of a powerful star beast. However, when she examined it closely, there was nothing out of the ordinary about it, which made her ponder about it for a moment.

'What is this? Is it because of his unique physique?' Elder Katrina wondered to herself. 'Also, the rate at which his wounds are closing down is abnormal; even though I am using my healing arts, it shouldn't be this fast.'

As Asher felt Elder Katrina's spirit essence work on his body, he felt a comfortable sensation flowing through him. It was as if an invisible energy were traveling through his veins, along with a cooling effect that soothed the burning pain inside him.

The more her spirit essence flowed into him, the more relaxed he became, almost as if he were enjoying a massage from a beautiful woman.

A moment later, Asher's body began to shine as the gash on his chest healed completely. Soon, all his wounds vanished, and he was back to being healthy once more.

"How do you feel now?" Elder Katrina asked in a gentle tone as she pulled back her hand and gazed at him with her emerald eyes.

"Hmmm... Great! I feel like I've never been hurt before," Asher replied as he checked his body before standing up and stretching out his arms. "Thank you for the healing, Elder Katrina. With you around, I don't think anyone will ever die from any severe injuries."

"Oh my, no need to be so courteous. It's my duty as an elder of the Twilight Mist Sect to heal our disciples. However, you are wrong about something. I'm not that strong. There is a limit to what I can do. After all, the stronger someone is, the harder it is to heal them, especially if they have severe internal injuries.

They require much more spirit essence and careful application of techniques, and even then, they might not recover from their injuries."

Elder Katrina let out a light sigh as she explained.

Then she added, with a serious tone in her voice, "So never depend on anyone to heal you when you get injured. Instead, focus on being cautious and knowing what you can do and what you can't. After all, knowing your limits is a sign of strength."

"I see. Thank you for the advice, Elder Katrina." Asher nodded and took her words to heart before saying. "Now, I would like to know how I did in this Ranking Test."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's eyes flashed as they realized that they also wanted to know their rankings.

"Oh, about that. It seems like we have a new titleholder here today." Elder Katrina looked at all of them with a playful smile before stopping at Asher, adding, "Congratulations, Disciple Asher. You reached level six of the Pagoda and defeated ten opponents at the Peak-Stage of the Core Foundation Realm with just your Peak-Stage of the True Spirit Realm cultivation.

This feat is unprecedented in the history of our Twilight Mist Sect."

Just as she finished her words, there was a shocked silence around the hall.

Everyone was surprised by this result, their eyes moving towards Dark Stele, wanting to confirm with their own eyes. Experience tales at m v|l e'm,p| y- r

Sure enough, when they looked at the Dark Stele, a new name flashed on the top-fourth level of the Pagoda.

'The Dark Reaver - Asher Blake'

Seeing the result, all the disciples couldn't help but feel astonished and speechless. After all, this result was beyond anyone's expectations.

As they were thinking this, Scarlet suddenly leaped towards Asher and hugged him. Then she proceeded to kiss him on the cheek while saying, "Oh my God, you're incredible! I knew that you could do it, but I didn't think that you would break the record of the Ranking Test like this. Wow, you really are amazing, Asher."

She couldn't hide her happiness and excitement after seeing the result, and it showed through her beaming smile as she kept kissing him. This display of affection caught the attention of all the other disciples who were watching them.

Asher, on the other hand, just held her by her bubble butt as she hugged him like a koala and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Her actions brought warmth to his heart. Although Scarlet was always playful and passionate in this aspect, this time he felt that she was a bit more aggressive and bold compared to her usual self.

Maybe the nervousness that she felt earlier when she saw his wounds had dissipated, leaving her feeling more free to act as she desired.
