Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

"Oh? Well, would you look who decided to show up! The small little Fang group, what timing indeed!" The silver armor man in the middle spoke up again, his tone laced with ample mockery.

A jeering, disdainful smile etched on his and his other three partner's lips as they gazed over Fruna's face.

"Really, shouldn't you Fang's know your place by now? Out here, right now, we're stronger. And even inside the town walls, we're still stronger!"

Though his insulting words carried a thick arrogant weight, there was some truth Fruna couldn't deny in his words.

Frustration welled in her eyes, but Fruna quickly pushed it down. Her eyes had then swiftly snapped over to Robert, Reyney, and Hurey, signaling them to provide support.

Seeing the situation going down, Robert, Reyney, and Hurey did get a bit bolder.

They walked ahead of Darcel and Aniela but didn't go right next to Fruna.

While they did so, another one of the silver armor men suddenly spoke up, saying, "Hoh? The whole crowd coming to play, eh? Alright. We all can play nice here and move on with our lives. Each and every one of you just have to pay a small price of ten green crystals if you want entrance into the town."

"Ten green crystals?! You of all people should know how much of a highway robbery that is!"Robert suddenly blurted out this time.

Crystallize resources only gets harder to get with each passing realm. Plus, their worth and values dramatically increase going further in each realm.

It's common knowledge that if you're not at least a titled Heavenly King cultivator or a rich Innate Core powerhouse. Then your chances at having at least one green crystal are next to none!

"Ohh….that's too bad. But it isn't our problem." The silver armor men were cruel and stone-cold in their expression.

But right then, the mysterious hooded girl finally moved again.

Throughout the entire exchange, she was in this weird trance stare off with Darcel.

A familiar sensation went off in her soul as she stared at him, and she couldn't explain why. Just she only knew Darcel's presence instantly captured her attention.

But when her ears picked up the silver armor men's latest cruel words, she snapped back to reality.

The hooded robe girl broke her stare off with Darcel and whipped her head around back to the silver armor men.

"Look, you four, fuck off already! I can't believe your charade had gone off for so long!" Immediately all eyes fell on the hooded robe girl.

The silver armor men felt a rush of annoyance at her arrogant words, yet before they could talk, the hooded robe girl suddenly blared her aura!

The surging prowess of a fifth rank Innate Core discharged from the hooded robe girl and pressed on to the silver armor men.

Fruna, Robert, Reyney, and Hurey all clamped their mouths up as this girl power was incredible!

Even the silver armor men were taken for a slight surprise.

At first, their smiles were turning into a broader mocking one, and they were ready to jeer at the girl's fifth rank aura.

However, when the hooded girl aura actually crushed down on them, all four of the silver armor men's smiles froze. They went utterly silent for a moment.

Somehow, despite it being four against one, they all felt a noticeable suppression weighed on their bodies under this little girl aura!

It made the four silver armor men crease their eyebrows. Yet, they soon got rid of any unnecessary thoughts about the weirdness of this hooded robe girl aura.

Their all seventh rank Innate Core powerhouses, this little girl aura is nothing to them!

With a jeering snort, the four silver armor men had then blared their seventh rank Innate Core aura!

'Chi!'

Snow swirled between the men and hooded robe girl as their aura violently clashed against each other.

Fruna, Robert, Reyney, Hurey, and the other two fifth Innate Core cultivators were all forced to back off under the thunderous clash of powers.

"I won't say this again! Fuck off out of here, or pay the toll!"

Though the silver armor man in the middle said it, he and his partners were getting increasingly surprised by the second.

For some reason, even as they blared the full force of their aura, this hooded robe girl still didn't back down against them. In fact, her fifth rank Innate Core aura stood its ground against their combined seventh rank auras!

The tension was quickly rising, and soon it would seem like a battle was bound to break out.

"Alright, Darcy! I think it's about time for us to enter the scene. Let's do it….soul style." Aniela quietly whispered to Darcel as she watched the events unfold.

Watching how bold that hooded girl was ignited her fighting spirit to go against the odds and shock those silver armor men.

"You know, this would be excellent practice for our souls. You go up first, Aniela, and then I'll create a perfect double suppression." Darcel quickly said to Aniela.

On instinct, he wanted to help out the hooded girl anyway, and this situation was the perfect opportunity to introduce themselves to her.

Smiling at Darcel, Aniela nodded and quickly walked up to the silver armor men and the hooded girl.

The clacking sound of her feet hitting the iced pavement brought their attention to her.

Robert, Reyney, and Hurey had no intentions of stopping Aniela, already somewhat believing she'll probably do something outrageous. Fruna wanted to hold her, but she held her tongue, knowing full well how kept hidden she and Darcel are.

When Aniela neared them, she gave both the silver armor men and the hooded robe girl her best bright smile.

Immediately, Aniela felt their clashes of aura, but her face didn't show any sign of tension. Quickly Aniela began smoothly surging her soul powers to resist the friction of auras.

Streaks of white light smoked off Aniela's body in small wisps causing surprise to swell in the silver armor men and the hooded girl.

Ever since Aniela first appeared, they were already slightly captivated by her presence. And now, their curiosity only further increased.

But before anybody could question what she was doing. Aniela surged out her soul powers, discharging a soul aura, and crushed it down on the four silver armor men.

"Now, now. There's no need to resort to violence so quickly! I'm sure we all can smooth this out peacefully."

Though Aniela may have sounded sweet and like a caring peace angel. Her action was causing panic in the silver armor men's minds!

Their mighty, powerful souls that shouldn't be affected by anyone here was getting noticeably weighed down by a severe suppression!

And where that suppression was coming from was this sudden long white hair girl that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, the girl didn't even look stressed at all from bearing both three seventh rank Innate Core auras and one powerful fifth rank Innate Core aura!

"Tch and just who the hell are…." The leading silver armor man sentence trailed off as he and the other heard another set of feet marching towards them.

The four silver men eyes, Fruna's group eyes, the two fifth rank Innate Core cultivators, and the hooded girl snapped their heads back. They watched as Darcel strolled up to them with the same confident stride as Aniela.

When Darcel neared the silver armor men, he too felt the mighty clashes of Innate Core auras.

But, just like Aniela, Darcel quickly surged out his soul powers. He discharged a soul aura that matched with Aniela's soul aura and crashed down on the four silver armor men.

Streaks of Darkness wisp out of his body like smoke, and Darcel spoke up before anyone else could. "She's right. How about you four just let all of us go past, and we can all go about our lives."

Now the four silver armor men went utterly silent.

Aniela's soul suppression already caused concerns in the men, and now Darce had just double the suppression!

And right then, the four silver armor men felt shocked coursing in their bodies. They perceived it, on their faces, sweat was pouring down them.

Sweat as if they're facing a significant threat to their lives!

Their bodies felt even heavier too and a considerable pressure crushed on them. The silver armor men's minds were going a million miles per second, just trying to understand what was going on.

The number of people who can actually use their souls willingly and effectively in the Innate Core realm is nearly to next none besides extraordinary geniuses.

And even then, not even titled Heavenly King cultivators has that much control over their souls!

While the silver armor men, of course, didn't think they would lose to these kids, the suppression on their souls was too outrageous to ignore.

"You two! Just what the hell are you, kids!" The man in the middle aggressively called out, trying to hide his worries.

He focused his mighty aura on Darcel and Aniela, yet his soul suppression didn't let up. His partners also joined in on focusing their auras on Darcel and Aniela.

But to their dismay, the soul suppression didn't let up, and Darcel and Aniela's face remained the same.

Watching this exchange unfold right next to them, the hooded robe girl couldn't contain her shock. Her eyes had snapped over to Darcel as soon as he discharged his soul aura.

She once again cursed in her mind. All of her focus was once again taken by this random dark hair boy!

But, the familiar sensation that course in her soul was out of her hand, and she couldn't control it.

Amazingly enough, she didn't feel the slightest bit of suppression when Darcel and Aniela unleashed their soul auras.

On the other hand, Robert, Reyney, and Hurey all felt a greater fear swell in them about Darcel and Aniela. They weren't that close by the duo, yet they felt their souls quake over a great power discharge.

Now they also know those two wouldn't even need to go in that weird black and white state. Just the mere release of their soul aura was already causing grave problems to them.

The other fifth rank Innate Core men were just as equally as shocked and weary over the sudden appearance of Darcel and Aniela.

They felt their souls quiver in suppression though it wasn't as great as Robert, Reyney, and Hurey.

Fruna, however, was the only that wasn't too put off over the sudden reversal. She was even gaining a slight sly smile seeing the silver armor men become so shocked and confused.

Fruna had then decided to boldly walk up right next to Aniela, saying, "They're with us. And honestly, for all of our sakes, I would suggest you listen to their suggestion."

The four silver armor men's eyes briefly glanced at Fruna.

A shimmer of killing intent swirled in their eyes, staring at her, but they didn't act on it. Quickly they refocused their attention on Darcel and Aniela but didn't try to attack them as well.

They didn't know what it was; call it an instinctual gut feeling. But all four of the silver armor men felt as if something unexpected would happen if they tried to attack.

It was like a nagging voice inside their mind telling them to not act so rashly with these kids.

Throughout the entire time, Darcel and Aniela didn't speak up yet.

During the middle of pressuring these silver armor men, they had both sensed an unfathomable aura quickly approaching them.

And when Fruna finished talking, it had finally arrived.

Robert, Reyney, Hurey, and Fruna expressions all abruptly went ecstatic. The fifth Innate Core men's eyes widen to saucers sizes.

The hooded robe girl snapped her head to look behind the four silver armor men and into the town.

Darcel and Aniela were the only ones with calm and expected reactions.

"Silver bloody hammer! Doing this farce once again?! Piss off already!" A booming voice blasted in everyone's eardrums.

The four silver armor men went utterly rigid in fear as the tremendous suffocating aura of a Heavenly Transformation cultivator crashed down on them.

"Ah! Heavenly General!" Reyney shouted out on instinct as he and his other partners felt a mass rush of relief wash over them.

Quickly then, the hooded robe girl retracted her aura. Darcel and Aniela as well recalled their soul auras.

The four silver armor men didn't even get a chance to retract their auras. The unfathomable Heavenly Transformation aura utterly vaporized it and immensely suppressed their Innate Qi.

"Damn! We calculated it just right; he should've still been busy!" One of the silver armor men cursed under his breath.

"Whatever. Let's go; it's their lucky break today." The silver armor man in the middle decided.

And without turning around to give the other a single glance, the four silver armor men quickly retracted back into town. They moved swift like the wind leaving in an anticlimactic fashion.

As they left, Fruna's group, Darcel, Aniela, the hooded robe girl, and the two fifth Innate Core men, all turned their heads to see a good looking man swiftly approaching them.
