Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 259: I Am The Only One Worthy Of Your Guidance.

On the side of the elders, however, the situation was different. Their expressions turned solemn when they saw his Spirit. It was a clear indication that this young man possessed tremendous potential and would become a major figure in the future.

Moreover, they knew that once word spread out about this event, many powerful figures from different factions would come after him in order to make connections with him while he was still young and had a low cultivation base, which would make it easier for them to gain favors for future assistance.

If they fail to get close to him now, then they might never have another chance like this again. After all, this type of opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

At that moment, Elder Kong Yu, who had been silent since Argon revealed his Spirit, turned his head towards Jacob and couldn't help but frown. 'What's going on? Why did he bring this kid into the trials of the Twilight Mist Sect? As a direct disciple of the Sect Master, shouldn't he know better than to allow someone with such potential to join a rival sect?

And if that's the case, why didn't he warn me beforehand about this? If I had known earlier, I would've done something about it. Damn it! This is bad.'

After thinking for a while, Elder Kong Yu realized that he might need to take this matter to the Sect Master and let him decide what course of action should be taken regarding this situation.

Meanwhile, Elder Harrius was smiling ear-to-ear when he looked at the young man who showed a Legendary Ranked Spirit—Argon Drage. "Hahaha... Amazing! What an amazing kid! To think that he would possess such a powerful spirit! And it's a Dragon, no less!"

"Yes, indeed. He has a bright future ahead of him." Matriarch Cai Xinyi agreed with Elder Harrius as she nodded her head while staring at Argon, but in her eyes, there wasn't any hint of admiration or awe like others; only indifference.

Many wanted to go to Argon to greet him, but the young man was on the stage, and they didn't want to offend the Twilight Mist Sect by interrupting their trials, so they just watched him from afar, waiting for it to end.

"Congratulations, young man. With your talent, you will surely become one of the most influential figures in the future." Elder Katrina congratulated Argon with a smile on her face as she approached him.

Argon grinned at her and replied, "Thank you for your praise, Elder Katrina. I appreciate it. By the way, can I ask you something?"

Elder Katrina raised an eyebrow in curiosity and asked back, "Sure, what do you want to ask?"

"Didn't you say that if anyone manages to impress you, they would receive special guidance from you?" Argon said while looking at her with eyes full of desire.

"Hmmm... Yes, I indeed said that." She agreed and was ready to offer guidance to him, since he had managed to impress her with his Spirit.

However, when she noticed his gaze, she didn't like the way he looked at her and changed her mind.

"However, there are many participants left who have yet to take their turn. So we should wait until everyone finishes first."

"Haha, okay then. But you don't need to worry about the others. Just focus on me. I am the only one worthy of your guidance," Argon replied with a smug smile on his face while ignoring what she said.

Elder Katrina just shook her head in disappointment and decided to ignore him for now.

After finishing his test, Argon returned to the crowd and met up with Jacob, who greeted him with a pat on the shoulder. "Congratulations, buddy! With this, you're sure to become the center of attention from now on and get tons of benefits."

"Of course! Everyone will flock around me and offer everything they have in order to please me. Hahaha..."

"Indeed. That's why you need to make good use of this opportunity and gain as much as possible without giving any promises or favors to others. Got it?"

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Argon assured him with a confident smile on his face.

Lei Liwei was also surprised to see Argon's spirit; she didn't think someone would possess a higher-ranking spirit than hers.

"What do you think, Asher? This guy is no joke, right?"

Asher chuckled upon hearing that. "He sure has a higher-ranked spirit, but we shouldn't judge his strength based on the rank of his spirit. Even though his Spirit may be powerful, it's useless if he doesn't know how to utilize its power properly."

"Hahaha... I guess you're right." Lei Liwei smiled at him while nodding her head in agreement. "Anyway, there are still many participants who have yet to finish their tests. So let's just watch and see what happens next."

"Sounds good to me."

The two of them continued watching as the rest of the participants took their turns one after another and went on to test their Spirits on the Spirit Star Obelisk.

A majority of the participants had lower-ranking spirits, but some had higher-ranking spirits as well. Yet none of them possessed even Epic Ranked Spirits, let alone anything higher than that.

In fact, many were quite disappointed when they saw how unimpressive their Spirits were compared to Argon's Legendary Ranked Dragon Spirit.

It was the case of comparison syndrome; they felt inferior in every way. Even though some also became core disciples, they couldn't help but envy those who had higher-ranking spirits and wished that they had one too.

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."
