《Beast Cultivating System》Chapter 34 - Being Put Forward to do Martial Skill with Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying
Advertisement
As soon as the old man revealed that for the comprehension stage of the test, they will have to perform it in front of everyone present, there were mixed reactions from the cultivators.
Some were showing confident and arrogant expressions, such as Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying as they already felt an assurance that they would obviously finish first.
Both of them had never experienced setbacks before in their lives and seeing the cultivators present they even held disdain for them, believing that each of them wasn't even fit to be their servants.
In their opinion being present to this recruitment was just a way to demonstrate the difference between them and everyone else, showing the 'geniuses' how mediocre they truly are to 'Supreme Geniuses' like them.
They didn't need to show up to this recruitment gathering as they were basically already accepted to be within the 'Elemental Sect'.
Being within the sect they already found out that they were by far not the best disciples within the Elemental Sect, as there were many 'Supreme geniuses' that looked down upon even them, however, Princess Hui Ying was the most talented female which caused her to catch the eye of these top-level geniuses.
This delighted such an arrogant person like Princess Hui Ying and even made her begin to feel she was the most beautiful and talented woman within the world when she saw the famous woman earlier she hoped to become her disciple, but to her shock, her emotionless gaze didn't even change even when she witnessed her talent.
Upon seeing this caused Princess Hui Ying to be furious, as she never once in her life was looked down upon and was giving everything she wanted, this caused Princess Hui Ying to be spoiled rotten to the core, this made her personality very demanding, to the public she has a sweet-elegant beautiful temperament but in fact she is a jealous individual.

Princess Hui Ying had either ruined the looks, defamed or even murdered other young women which had appearances more beautiful than her as she felt it was unacceptable for someone to be more beautiful than her!
Thus, in conclusion, both Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying were two individuals that couldn't accept anyone is more talented than them in such a place which is meant for them to the 'main characters', so why would their egos allow them to have such a thought?
For, everyone else it was a mixture of anxiousness, hopeless or self-confidence within their own abilities.
This task for those which have good comprehension would be a dream come true as to why wouldn't they like to show off their talents to everyone?
However, some with a generally poor comprehension started to feel helpless of the thought of embarrassing themselves to everyone becoming a laughingstock!
As for Dana she still remained stoic, unaffected by the individuals present.
Soon enough, they were each present the same martial skill, an attribute less skill which just requires the sheer comprehension of an individual without factors such as your cultivation talent or even attribute talent, as even those both are important, having good comprehension will help a cultivator in the later stages in which they need to rely more on their comprehension than just their attribute talent alone.
Although attribute talent assists alongside comprehension, this is only for that specific attribute, thus things such as the soul require having a good comprehension.
But, this is only important for an individual in becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, which the Elemental Sect doesn't even have a hope of anyone here achieves, thus they place more importance on attribute talent.
Seeing the martial skill, Dana found it was a simple fist technique, soon enough they were each provided a separate place to practice their martial skill individually each.

As many individuals were removed within the first round, leaving the real geniuses remaining which basically are now all guaranteed to entire the Elemental Sect.
These remaining tests mainly factored on how highly valued you will be by the sect, as if you have terrible attribute talent, then you will probably be put in the bottom of the sect, becoming nothing more than a servant for the sect.
This may sound daunting, but for an individual it may appear less so, as even if they become nothing more than a servant, they still get access to the sects facilities, including some lower martial skills and even some resources allocated each month, which is much better conditions than becoming a lone cultivator or joining one of the lower schools.
As a Tier 3 Sect techniques shouldn't be underestimated, even if you were a Top Student within the Skyclad Academy, the worst techniques provided to servants may even be superior.
Not to mention the resources are from a Tier 3 sect, which has much superior Pill refiners making the pills distributed much better than anything the Azure Continent can ever compete with, making the cultivation resources much better, even if it's the lowest quality on what's available!
Comprehending the martial skill was easy for Dana, she soon received a very in depth comprehension behind the martial skill.
Dana will hide much of her true comprehension by majorly downplaying her true abilities on her true mastery of the martial skill.
The old man soon announced that the first three individuals presenting the martial skills will be her alongside the two top geniuses present Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying.
Seeing the cultivators looking at her with sneers, it seems she has been sacrificed to go up with the two most talented individuals?
As if anyone came up their abilities will look subpar making them be embarrassed in front of the other cultivators present.
This could cause harmful effects towards a genius making them have a psychological barrier affecting their future cultivation greatly, as they will loss their self-confidence with themselves.
So her being made to go with them shows how highly they value her...
Looking at the cultivators gazing at her like she is the 'sacrificial lamb' irked Dana, looking at the old man her gaze turned cold, 'thinking I'm a character which is expendable right?' Dana thought with contempt.
She was soon led to the stage alongside both Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying, both of them looking at her with disdain obviously believing it was beneath them to stand aside someone with her capabilities.
'Calm down Dana, remain inconspicuous, remain inconspicuous...' She kept thinking, with these many people looking at her it became increasingly harder to keep the pride of the Frost Wyvern from showing...
"Perform your comprehension of the martial skill" The old man ordered.
Dana puts herself in a stance readying to unleash her martial skill...

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement.
