Boooom!!! Boooom!!!! loud explosions occurred in a forest as many trees were uprooted and flung into the air . The crimson apes that terrorized the people taking part in the competition were fleeing with absolute horror on their faces . 
 "Run faster ! , the demon is here "
 "Ahhhhh! , we are so unlucky to meet that damn demon ". 
 "I pity for the king , he must have been beaten senseless by now ". 
 Stempede occurred in the forest as the apes were running away with all their strength . The crimson apes wished that they could develop three legs in order to run faster . Bravery , fierceness , all of them were flung aside because in front of a slaughter machine , every courage and fearlessness was replaced with hopelessness and despair . 
 The last time the hidden realm opened , a young girl who had an early stage grandmaster level cultivation accidentally intruded into their main base . Considering her immature looks and slightly weaker cultivation , the crimson apes thought that the girl was fragile and easy to bully without knowing that they kicked an iron board . 
 The terrifying battle prowess of the girl back then left an immense impart on them . An ape accidentally touched her butt and that triggered a terrifying massacre . Grandmasters whether at early , middle or peak stage were slaughtered like chickens . It was the Crimson ape king who had a battle prowess that was comparable to an early stage supreme warrior that fought with the girl and it ended with a draw . 
 The girl temporarily retreated and promised to visit again . To their dismay , the girl returned with a peak stage grandmaster realm and with a swing of her sword , their king had one of his arms instantly slashed off . She started a terrible massacre in the domain of the crimson apes , dying the whole ground red with blood . Over 100 apes have died to her sword but she continued massacre without battering an eyebrow . Her butt that was accidentally touched by the apes triggered an intense quest for vengeance as Miran slaughtered from East to West like a slaughter demon . 
 Boooom!!! a terrifying sword qi flashed with extreme speed and beheaded five apes at once . Roar!!! "Human ! , do we have a death grudge ?". The ape king asked with Intense despair as pain wrecked his broken body that was slashed open in different places . "Humph !! , perverts ". Miran sneered as she continued swinging her sword without any restraint . "Ahhhh!!! , I will fighting you to death ". The ape king roared wildly as it pounced on Miran with an insane look on his face.  
 "That's good , I hate cowards ". Miran's eyes narrowed slightly with a devious smile hanging on her lips . Boooom!!! terrifying aura surged In the sky as a terrifying sword intent shrouded the whole environment . The body of Miran was surrounded by countless of sword shadows , spinning widely around her , producing screeching sound . "Slash! ". Boooom!!! whistling sounds sounded in the air as many swordsm shadows flashed with immense speed . 
 Poof!!! pooof!!! the ape king was pierced in several parts of his body , looking like a hedge dog . Boooom!!! Intense fire aura surrounded him as he roared with Intense pain and agony . Crimson flames covered his hands as he shouted "Sky fire palm !". Boooom!!! a huge palm imprint that was emitting Intense heat smashed down with terrifying might . "Humph!!". Miran snorted as she raised her sword and slashed forward . Boooom!! a terrifying sword glow flashed and shattered the palm completely . 
 The ape king made use of that opportunity to flee from the scene . He became a beam of red light as he vanished with extreme speed . "Little ape , where do you think you are running to !". Miran shouted and then proceeded to collect the cores that were littering on the ground before vanishing in pursuit of the ape king . 
 The people that were hiding in the shadows came out after a while and looked at the massive destruction left by the intense battle. 
 Was the difference between them and the girl this vast despite being younger than them by three or four years . Sigh ! many people shook their head in dismay as they wondered whether the heavens were really partial while creating the girl . They were still struggling to kill off martial master realm apes but someone was already slaughtering grandmaster stage apes like chickens . They sighed and left quietly , continuing their hunting in order to gather more points . 
 Whoosh !!! Shino appeared at the front of a devastated forest and wrinkled his brows . Could it be that he had sensed the aura of the ape king wrongly ? . No ! , he was sure that it was in this direction but looking at the destroyed forest in front of him , no single sign of a living thing can be sensed there . Suddenly , he sensed a familiar sword intent and his mouth twitched . Since she was here then he could only pray for the safety of the ape king . He shook his head and vanished from his position . 
 The competition was intense as several fights and robberies occurred in the hidden realm . The number of people that was remaining have rapidly reduced to a measly number of 200 . The two hours set for the trial was almost up and the third stage of the competition was about to begin . Boooom!!! the hidden realm seemed to pause for a moment as the figures of crimson apes all over the realm became motes of light . Whoosh!!! everyone in the hidden realm was teleported to a location where a huge stone slab was erected . 
 The third stage of the competition began . Different martial arts were inscribed in the stone slab and each contestant was required to practice any one of them and become proficient in it . Ordinary individuals can not achieve that even if they were given months but only three hours was allocated to them . The people present immediately chose their respective martial technique and started comprehending it immediately . 
 After an hour , Miran opened her eyes and yawned widely while looking around with a bored expression on her face . After a while , Shino opened his eyes and saw Miran who was looking around nonchalantly . Her eyes immediately light up and she wanted to come over to the area where Shino was staying . Shino shook his head , indicating that she will disturb the people that was still immersed in her comprehension . She pouted her little mouth and looked away with anger on her face . 
 Shino shook his head at the antics of Miran . Due to the environment he grew up in , he became way more matured than his peers . Miran was his only friend in the academy because he always kept to himself at all times . He closed his eyes and adjusted himself to the optimal state . After two hours , the stone slab vanished , leaving an empty space with a huge board hanging in the air . 
 Everyone stood up with nervousness , not willing to be the first to enter the open space . "Cowards !". Miran said with disdain as she swaggered into the square . A beam of light projected from the board into her forehead as a voice uttered coldly . "Begin" . She closed her eyes and raised her sword . Boooom!!! a terrifying sword intent shrouded the environment as countless of lotus flower that contained sharp sword intent flickered around her . 
 Boooom!! a golden light flashed on the board as a voice sounded . "Lotus sky sword : Perfection ". 
 Everyone became silent when the result came out . As usual , she attained perfection again . Miran opened her eyes and walked out calmly under the admiration of many people . Courage surfaced on the faces of the people present as they started to walk into the empty space . 
 " Azure palm : low achievement "
 " Radience fist : low achievement " 
 "Ice ripple art : Major achievement "
 "Golden sword art : perfection " 
  Another perfection appeared again as Shino showed his sword art . Intense jealousy clouded the eyes of Rex looked at Shino with viciousness in his eyes . How can we commoner achieve perfection while he out had a major achievement . He clenched his fists tightly and kept his head down . Many people kept testing their proficiency but majority were still in low achievement with few at major achievement and practically no one achieved perfection again apart from Shino and Miran .
 The competition was coming to an end as this phase was the last one . Many people were happy with their results while some had a dejected expression on their faces . Everyone was waiting for the submission of the cores before the final result will be announced and the new ranking will emerge Suddenly , golden light fell from the sky revealing the figure that was clad in white robes with dragon engraving . 
 The figure had sliver hair and eyes , looking like a divine being that descended into the mortal world . His eyes were deep and seemed to contain the starry skies . The martial lord have descended .
