Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 258: The Heavens Are Playing Favorites!

It wasn't long before everyone managed to calm themselves and return to normal, except for those who didn't fall for its enchanting effect.

Yet, there was someone who remained unaffected by Cai Yan's Spirit, and instead, it seemed like he had fallen for her charm more than anyone else.

His eyes burned with passion as he stared at Cai Yan while his heart pounded in his chest, sending waves of excitement coursing through his veins. It was as if the very sight of her had ignited a flame within him that could never be extinguished.

"Beautiful..." He muttered under his breath as his lips curled upward into a smile, revealing his white teeth.

But when the person standing next to him heard this, he raised an eyebrow and gave him a strange look. "Again? Seriously, why are you falling for every pretty face that shows up? It's not good to lose your head over a woman."

"Shut up, Jacob. You don't understand the concept of true love. Unlike you, I'm willing to do anything to get my girl." Argon retorted with a serious expression on his face as he continued staring at Cai Yan.

"Shouldn't it be 'willing to do anything for my girl?'"

"Nope, because I don't care about their opinions. All that matters is me getting what I want, not them. Besides, they should feel honored that someone like me is interested in them. After all, who wouldn't want to marry a genius like me? Ha ha ha!" Argon laughed out loud, making Jacob shake his head in exasperation.

"Wow, talk about being arrogant. Just so you know, your ego is getting bigger every day."

"What can I say? It's not my fault that I am blessed by heaven. And since that's the case, why shouldn't I act proud of myself? If you were in my position, wouldn't you do the same thing?"

"Well, you got a point there, but...." Before Jacob could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Argon, who patted his shoulder with a smirk on his face. "Hahaha... See? You are speechless because you know I'm right. Don't worry; one day you will understand what I mean. For now, just watch how everyone will lose their minds when they see my Spirit.

Haha... It's going to be fun!"

Then he turned around and walked towards the Spirit Star Obelisk, leaving behind a dumbfounded Jacob who watched him go with a frown on his face, thinking to himself, 'Damn bastard, you didn't let me finish my sentence! Now it looks like I'm agreeing with him.'

On the other hand, Argon walked past Cai Yan and gave her a charming smile before continuing toward the artifact, not noticing her expression changing for a brief moment into an expression of disgust before reverting back to normal.

'Hahaha... It won't take long for her to fall for me once she sees my Spirit,' He thought to himself while grinning ear-to-ear as he placed his hand on the obelisk, sending out his spirit essence.

A few moments later, everyone could feel a powerful aura surrounding them as it spread outward from Argon's body, enveloping the entire field.

It was so overwhelming that some of the participants found it hard to breathe, causing them to feel suffocated as they struggled to withstand the pressure exerted upon them by this strange force.

The atmosphere became heavy, and the temperature rose until beads of sweat began forming on their foreheads before evaporating away in seconds.

Everything around them seemed to slow down until a bright light shot from his body into the sky, drawing everyone's attention towards it.

ROOAAARRRR!!!!!

A loud roar rang out from the skies above as an enormous silhouette materialized from within the light beam, taking on the form of a colossal dragon.

Its entire body was covered in crimson scales that blazed with golden-red fire, burning with intense heat and radiating an overwhelming aura of power.

Its blood-red eyes, which seemed to radiate malice, glowed with an intense light as it stared down at everyone beneath it, as if looking down on insignificant ants who could never hope to match up to its might.

While the participants stared at the fiery dragon in awe, the obelisk started shining brighter than before, drawing their attention away from the creature above them.

One by one, red gemstones began lighting up on the obelisk, going up from the lowest to the highest rank.

The audience waited with bated breath as the lights continued illuminating, and when they saw six glowing stars in the artifact, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Supreme Ranked Spirit! He has a Supreme Ranked Spirit too!"

However, before others could react, another gemstone lit up on the obelisk: Seven Stars!

Everyone's eyes widened in shock and disbelief at what just happened.

A seventh star appeared on the obelisk, indicating that Argon had a Legendary Ranked Spirit—the rarest ranked spirit.

Silence enveloped the whole field as everyone remained motionless, trying to process this shocking revelation. They couldn't believe their eyes. It was like they were looking at a person who would become one of the strongest cultivators in the future.

Meanwhile, Argon had a smug smile on his face as he raised his head high, basking in the spotlight while reveling in the fact that he managed to surprise everyone here with his Spirit.

"That's not a Supreme Ranked Spirit, but a Legendary Ranked Spirit?! What the hell?! How can it be?!" Someone yelled out loud in frustration.

"I can't believe it! This guy is too unbelievable! Why did he have to be born into this world?! Now I'm jealous!"

"Fuck! What the hell is this?! Are you kidding me?! How can he have such a powerful spirit? This is bullshit! The heavens are playing favorites!

Why does he possess a Legendary Ranked Spirit while I only have an Uncommon Rank Spirit!"

Many people started cursing and yelling as they felt their hearts sink into despair, causing chaos among themselves as they expressed their feelings about Argon's Spirit.
