A ripple of surprise swept through the chamber at Queen Elara's announcement, as the council members exchanged glances of astonishment.
The idea of including younger children in the exam was met with mixed reactions, with some expressing concern for their safety.
Queen Elara's expression softened, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve.
"Rest assured, my dear council members, that every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of our children during the exam."
"The Orders of Guards and Army stand ready to intervene at a moment's notice, with the Sylvan Guard and Thornwatchers poised to protect our young ones from any potential threats."
A ripple of reassurance spread through the chamber as Queen Elara continued.
"Furthermore, all dangerous mystic beasts of the Whispering Woods have been isolated and contained."
"The remaining monsters and mystic beasts that the children may encounter during their exam have been carefully selected to provide them with valuable lessons in survival and cooperation."
"What do you mean by isolated, My Queen?" Talia inquired, her brow furrowing in concern.
"As you all know, the Whispering Woods is vast and teeming with life," the Queen began, her voice commanding attention.
"It holds countless mysteries, and since the birth of our kingdom, no one has ever fully explored its depths."
"Let me remind you all that the woods are divided into layers, from the first to the fifth."
"The first layer is the safest, inhabited mostly by F-rank beasts," the Queen continued, her gaze sweeping over the assembled audience.
"Moving deeper, the second layer hosts E-rank and some D-rank beasts, with E-rank beasts prevalent near the first layer and D-rank beasts closer to the third."
"The third layer contains C-rank and B-rank beasts, while the fourth harbors A-rank beasts."
"However, it is the fourth and fifth layers, known as the Disappearing Whispering Woods, that are the most perilous."
"The fourth layer may hold a few S-rank beasts, but not more than three, whereas the fifth layer is the domain of S-rank beasts," the Queen elaborated, her voice tinged with solemnity.
"Beyond the fifth layer lies the Nefil layer, though this is merely legend."
"To address your inquiry, Talia, we will erect an array barrier in the second layer," the Queen announced, her tone decisive.
"This barrier will be robust enough to prevent anyone from traversing or entering, ensuring they encounter only F and E-rank beasts."
"Their safety shall be guaranteed within this perimeter."
"Thank you, my Queen," Talia responded respectfully, bowing her head.
"Since the purpose of the exam is to qualify for entry into the Academy and to safeguard our children, a preliminary examination will be conducted," the Queen declared, her voice unwavering.
"Children capable of vanquishing F-rank beasts and causing E-rank beasts to retreat shall qualify for the Whispering Woods exam."
"Those who do not succeed may attempt again next year. We cannot afford to allow anyone to venture into the woods without assurance of their safety."
Queen Elara's proclamation resonated through the chamber, her voice unwavering as she declared,
"The exam shall commence in nine months' time, amidst the flourishing season of spring. The preliminary exam will precede it by one month."
"This prolonged period of preparation will afford our children ample opportunity to refine their skills and brace themselves for the trials that lie ahead in the Whispering Woods."
Her words lingered in the air, a solemn vow to both the council members and the populace of Verdantia.
"I harbor complete faith in the abilities of our children to navigate the perils of the Whispering Woods with fortitude and valor."
"Together, we shall ensure that this year's examination stands as a testament to their resilience and prowess."
"Before we disseminate this decree to the entirety of our realm, send forth invitations to the eight esteemed noble families, summoning them to the palace in one month's time," she instructed the elders with authority.
With a final smile and a nod of her head, Queen Elara turned and made her way to the balcony overlooking the bustling capital below.
As she gazed out at the verdant landscape spread out before her, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
From her vantage point high above the city, Queen Elara could see the towering treehouses of Sylvaneth, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Great Forest.
The sparkling rivers snaking their way through the landscape, and the towering mountains that loomed in the distance, all seemed to pulse with life and vitality.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the city, Queen Elara's eyes sparkled with pride and determination.
For in that moment, she knew that the future of Verdantia was in good hands, and that together, they would continue to protect and preserve the natural beauty of their kingdom for generations to come.
As Queen Elara gazed out at her beloved city, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
With a serene smile on her lips, after some time of gazing, Queen Elara began to gradually unleash her nature magic aura.
It was a power so potent yet comforting, like a warm embrace from the earth itself.
As her aura spread, it echoed throughout Verdantia, enveloping the entire capital in its soothing embrace.
The scene of her beautiful aura was so captivating and comforting that it made the whole city pause in awe.
From every corner of Verdantia, voices rose in unison, shouting "Hail Queen Evergreen!"
The moment she unleashed her aura, every activity in the capital came to a halt as all eyes turned towards the council tower where she stood on the balcony, a radiant vision of strength and grace.
It was a sight to behold, a testament to her unwavering connection to the land and her people.

And at this point, everything started to make complete, crystal-clear sense to Oasis.All the strange occurrences that had remained mere speculation until now suddenly aligned with undeniable clarity. He finally realized why Vesta possessed the exact same resonance of energy, the exact same spiritual signature, an identical instinctual understanding of high-level martial techniques, and even a voice and physical appearance that bore an uncanny, startling resemblance to his own.Oasis realized that back when he had first begun nourishing Vesta’s cold, dormant egg, he might had inadvertently initiated an ancient, lost ritual of the soul, a profound phenomenon that had triggered the monstrous bond they shared today. His mind raced into the deepest caverns of thought, wondering frantically if this outcome was because he had failed to follow the conventional rules that governed the nurturing of a phoenix egg. How had everything turned out like this? He could not comprehend it at all; it

“Then, this brings us to you,” Qin Yueren said, his piercing gaze shifting directly onto Oasis, “and your child there.”Oasis swallowed hard, a subtle lump forming in his throat as he steeled himself, fully prepared to absorb every single detail the ancient entity was about to reveal. He briefly cast a glance down toward Vesta, who returned his look with a tiny, mischievous grin. Despite the child’s youthful amusement, Vesta, too, was listening with rapt, unyielding attention.“You are a true biological reproduction,” Qin Yueren stated calmly, his gold-emerald eyes gleaming with profound insight. “Therefore, I will not categorize you within the lineage of stabilized hybrids like your father.”The Pulse God paused slightly, allowing the weight of his words to sink into the quiet chamber before continuing. “And before we proceed further, I want you to take careful note of something crucial: the reason why the stabilized hybrid method worked in the first place was because your grandfath

Seeing that Oasis was now fully seated and attentively poised to absorb whatever was about to be said, the Pulse God felt genuinely moved. This young kid did not possess a single shred of the unbearable, towering arrogance typical of most Sacred Beasts. Instead, Oasis was remarkably calculative, exceptionally quick to adapt, and possessed a rare gift for instantly reading the true gravity of any situation.Qin Yueren knew that if any ordinary cultivator or arrogant beast had been informed that their own physical body was a ticking time bomb on the verge of total self-destruction, they would have been frantic, frantically begging to be healed before anything else. Yet Oasis remained profoundly composed, visibly eager to listen and learn first, prioritizing a deep understanding of the true nature of his existence before seeking a cure.“First, I shall grant you a brief overview of why the Phoenix clan exists in its current state, serving as the historical foundation of your ancestral

The surroundings morphed instantly, as though space itself had been forcibly shifted, or rather, as if the entirety of reality had been pulled around them in a single, imperceptible flash. One moment they were standing out on the high, cloud-swept mountain ridge, and in the very next instant, they found themselves placed deep within an exquisite, grandly decorated private chamber.They now stood in the center of a majestic hall, surrounded by low, cushioned jade seats lining either side. Directly ahead of them sat a majestic figure resting upon a magnificent jade throne, flanked by two imposing, masked attendants who stood like silent sentinels on his right and left.!!!THUD!Without warning, Oasis was forced down onto one knee, heavy beads of cold sweat breaking out across his forehead as he breathed heavily against the oppressive, invisible weight filling the room.“Father!” Vesta cried out in an instant, leaning anxiously toward Oasis. Delvan moved with equal haste, both of the

Days passed as they were waiting for feedback from the Pulse God, and during that time, none of the members of the Blood Roses were just relaxed. They were all kept thoroughly busy with whatever they could do, and that was only to train continuously to push their limits.Du Shiye had already started learning under a Sage Pulse, immersing himself in complex refinement arts, while Daku had started training together with Azer Qin. Since both Daku and Azer possessed dark mana, there was a vast amount that Daku could absorb and learn from Azer, even though Daku was a martial artist while Azer was a mage. Azer was vastly superior to him in both raw combat strength and cultivation realm; Daku was merely a beginner-stage Enlightened cultivator, whereas Azer stood proudly at the peak of the Enlightened Realm. Thus, the two spent their days sparing and refining their shadow attributes together upon the training grounds.As for Venak, he was placed under a very similar arrangement. Pulse Sage

One after the other, the remaining disciples under Pulse Sage Qin Xian were matched against Oasis in the grand arena, and not a single one of them proved to be a match for him.The third disciple, a powerful spellcaster, engaged Oasis in a high-speed duel of pure magic, yet Oasis chose to deploy strictly his Wind magic against her, effortlessly countering her spellcraft to claim a decisive victory.Next came the second disciple, a formidable martial artist whose heavy physical strikes and explosive aura initially made the bout seem tough and fiercely contested. However, Oasis quickly adapted, seamlessly weaving Earth and Fire magic into his defenses and counterattacks to break his opponent's rhythm and secure another flawless win.Finally, against the esteemed first disciple, Oasis had to incorporate rapid-fire magic with runes and battlefield formations to break through the disciple’s defenses, claiming a clean victory that left the surrounding audience thoroughly stunned.Everyone p
