BOOM!

"Shouldering Blast Palm!"

"Hundred Blossom Sword!"

Ame's palms were deflected by a sword.

"The Young Lord of Sword of the Crimson Sword Sect managed to deflect Ame's weirdly named yet unstoppable palm techniques!" The commentator's voice echoed throughout the town square.

"It's not weird, it's practical!" irritated, Ame shouted back at the commentator! Everyone laughed at this scene… everyone, other than Ame's previous and current opponents.

Everyone who had managed to receive this palm of hers could tell the devastation it carried.

'This young lass is not so simple… she's stronger than any of my Martial brothers and sisters.' The one they called the Young Lord of Sword said with faint glint around his eyes. He raised his blade horizontally in front of him, "I didn't think I'd meet someone so strong in a place like this. Sadly, I'm going to have to get serious now." he admitted.

Ame looked at the seriousness the Young Lord of Sword, "Do you mean to say you've been taking it easy on me this whole time? What, are you really from a Big Sect from the big city? What are you even doing here?"

The Young Lord smiled to answer her question and then dashed forth and made a horizontal slash, "Cutting Mountains!" he said with a roar.

Ame watched and gathered strength around her palms. Concentrating the energy at the center of her palm, she sneered, "Are you stupid or something? Why are you laughing like you're on high heavens? Blade Breaker Palm…"

She clashed with the sword and then broke it in half, shocking the onlookers and even the Young Lord of Sword. Ame dashed in and got close to the Young Lord, as she came from below, a voice escaped her, "I was mocking you for going here to throw your weight around, you loser — Black Flame Palm!"

BAM!

The newly named Loser was sent flying with his clothes burnt and his skin imprinted with a tiny handprint of a lass…

"The winner is — Ame of the weirdly named Palm Techniques!"

Ame wanted to tear the commentator piece by piece but forced herself to stop. Standing in the middle of the stage, Ame smiled like the sun.

[Congratulations, Ame.] Kiel's voice entered her mind.

[Thank you, Jihihihi! Did you see my greatness? I swept through everyone like they are nothing.] Ame didn't know where Kiel was, but she bragged without fail.

Kiel, who was amongst the crowd, was smiling for his sister's victory, with this, he managed to help her take a step forward.

Ame, who stood in the middle of the stage, felt a strong presence, and as she turned around, she found a middle-aged man approaching.

'A 3rd Stage True Spirit cultivator as the Town Lord? This backwater place is not bad.' Ame thought to herself.

The middle-aged man had a long beard, and his embroidered robe spoke of his status… he was rich.

Stopping a step before her, the Town Lord reached out and tapped Ame's shoulders a couple of times, "We have good seeds this time around. Young Ame, I present you the promised, Soul-Beast — a Raging Fire Bull."

Ame reached out and accepted the Soul-Beast with a slight bow, "Thank you, Town Lord." She smiled as she did this.

Ame and the Town Lord then looked at each other, it was then that he said with a loud voice, "Someone from the Celestial Phoenix Mountain had asked to meet with this year's winner, you have a chance to become a part of such a Great Sect, young Ame."

The Town Lord's words incited unrest. The name Celestial Phoenix Mountain was widely spread. Lily town was a part of the Celestial Phoenix Mountain, and many of the youths there wish to enter this mystical place.

"I heard the Celestial Phoenix Mountain have a cultivation room for each their students, how lucky Weaver Ava's daughter is. If she's this strong, what about the brother? Is he also another genius?"

"I doubt it. That family on the Hills is already lucky enough to have someone like Ame as their daughter… but still, if one of theirs can get to the Celestial Phoenix Mountain, doesn't that mean they're already destined for a fortuitous future?"

"You're right, should I have my daughter meet with the brother? Although he cannot cultivate, I hear he's smart and is growing strong by the day. The twin brother of a future Immortal as my Son-in-Law, how good is that? Who knows, some of the talents may be passed down to my lineage!"

Kiel found himself without much reaction, he was far more interested in the talks of the people. How Ava, his mother, was referred to or how his parents were seen overall. Their laughter pierced him for unknown reasons.

He looked ahead and saw Ame's expression brightening up, and before she could even speak, Kile gave an answer, [Go, I'll help you explain the details to Mother later. If this is what you want, I shall not hinder your path.]

[Thank you…]

Kiel watched as Ame follow the Town Lord to the Town Lord's Manor. They boarded a carriage, and despite Ame's insistence, Kiel rejected to join them. He decided to follow them discreetly.

Then, Kiel stopped his steps as he watched the carriage pass through the gates of the Tower Lord Manor. He knew she will return, but as the gates closed, he also became aware that she would soon leave.

The gates before him were no mere physical barrier that keeps Kiel from being together with his family, it was there, to remind him of the future.

Ame stood tall as she quickly regained her breathing. She exited the carriage while having small talks with the Town Lord. Presented with a mansion, Ame quickly analyzed possible entries and exits that she could take if she were to pull off a heist, 'What lax defences.' She laughed.

Ame entered inside, and after an hour or so, she exited with two women. One of them had long black hair, this lady was wearing a red robe. The other one was someone with short red hair and was wearing a Qipao.

"Do you really not wish for us to convince your parents? If we go with you, I am sure we will be able to change their minds without a problem." The one in the red robes said.

"Yes, yes, this is a once in a lifetime situation where you can get into the Celestial Phoenix Mountain! No one would turn us down if we go recruit you ourselves." the one in the Qipao added.

They walked as they spoke, and soon, the three girls reached the gates. Ame lowered her head, "My Brother is waiting for me outside, Senior Sister, if you would excuse me."

The gates opened by Ame's request and the two women from the Celestial Phoenix Mountain saw Ame throwing her hands into the air as she recounted everything to Kiel.

The women expected the brother to jump from delight, or flash an envious expression, but as he smiled, the only thing he showed was a saddened expression at the mention of good news.
