Daughter of Heaven's Mandate, Killing Across Realms
As everyone entered the forest, dust billowed everywhere.
With their arrival, the brutal Hunting Competition officially began.
Thick fog rolled in from the stands, enveloping the entire area.
In the center of the mist, the forest scenery emerged clearly, offering a panoramic view from every angle.
In the forest
Jiang Rubei hid in a thick tree, her back pressed against the trunk, panting heavily.
She thought to herself: I must find a way back. These heartless bastards will not stop until they are all wiped out.
Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps approached, and before the slave hiding under the tree could react, he was instantly killed by a flying arrow.
Jiang Rubei's pupils dilated, and she instinctively covered her mouth, afraid of making the slightest sound.
The man walked over and inspected his "spoils of war".
Jiang Rubei had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "I see you!"
Jiang Rubei's heart tightened, and without hesitation, she jumped down from the tree, kicking the man hard in the shoulder.
The man was completely taken aback; instead of running away, she dared to attack first. Caught off guard, he was kicked squarely, stumbled, and nearly fell.
Jiang Rubei quickly tore off a tree branch, her spiritual energy surging in her hand, and the branch instantly transformed into a sharp sword.
Without hesitation, she swung her sword and slashed fiercely at the man.
Seeing this, the man smiled contemptuously, "Your move is quite interesting," and drew his sword to meet the attack.
Before the other prodigies could notice, a resolute glint flashed in Jiang Rubei's eyes, and her spiritual power surged suddenly. With a loud shout, she slashed her sword with all her might towards the man's neck.
The man's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He instinctively touched his neck, his hand covered in blood. Then his eyes gradually became vacant, his consciousness blurred, and his body collapsed to the ground.
The commotion was so great that it quickly attracted the attention of the other prodigies.
Jiang Rubei swiftly unleashed her Divine Ability; her body shifted like water, instantly merging with the large tree beside her.
The other prodigies arrived in a flurry, but were all stunned when they saw the corpse on the ground.
One of them looked utterly astonished. "Dead?"
"Besides that Divine Ability Realm, who else could kill him?"
"One person is still alive."
With a thud, someone threw a corpse to the ground. "Alright, now only the one at the Divine Ability Realm is left."
"Find her! Once we find her, we'll torture her properly!" one man said through gritted teeth, his weapon whistling as he brandished it.
Jiang Rubei stood quietly behind these people, holding her breath and not daring to utter a sound.
Watching the group leave grumbling, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "Even though this inheritance is only half complete, it's still quite useful."
But just as she thought of this, her body suddenly stiffened, and she knew in her heart that something was wrong.
Her spiritual power was almost depleted, far from enough to allow her to transform back into human form. She could only remain in tree form. If she went out like this, she would be even more conspicuous than if she went out in human form.
In the stands
Nan Xunran gazed at Jiang Rubei in the picture with great interest, thinking to himself, "This inheritance is quite interesting."
Seeing that Jiang Rubei remained motionless, maintaining the posture of a tree, he slowly got up.
Upon seeing this, Xihua Jin quickly stepped forward and asked, "Divine Son Xunran, are you going down?"
Nan Xunran nodded slightly.
In the forest
Jiang Rubei was worried and didn't know what to do.
Just then, Nan Xunran suddenly appeared in front of her without any warning.
She was startled. Even though he shouldn't be able to see her, she had a strong intuition that he was staring at her.
Nan Xunran slowly raised her hand, a hand as white as jade, and gently placed it on the top of her head.
In an instant, a warm current surged into her head, and her body began to change involuntarily.
Jiang Rubei touched herself in disbelief, her face filled with surprise and joy, and exclaimed excitedly, "I'm recovered!"
[Jiang Rubei, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, gains 15 points of favorability.]
[Current favorability: 80 points]
She quickly bowed and greeted him, her voice clear and melodious. "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Hearing the commotion, the other prodigies quickly rushed over.
Upon seeing Nan Xunran, they all respectfully greeted him in unison, "Divine Son Xunran."
Nan Xunran nodded calmly.
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on Jiang Rubei, who had returned to her original state, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why is there suddenly another person?
Jiang Rubei glared angrily, "When we get back, I will definitely tell Father what you have done!"
"Isn't the Hunting Competition common knowledge?" someone asked, scratching their head in confusion.
Jiang Rubei stomped her foot on the ground and shouted, "I'm talking about how you kidnapped me!"
"Who are you?" One of them stepped forward and looked her up and down carefully.
