Chapter 2

William Rong's health was well known to everyone in the Red Spirit Kingdom. Everyone thought that this competition was just a joke In the Red Spirit Kingdom, any established daughter wouldn't fight to marry a dying man, even if he was a prince. The women who came to participate in this competition were servants, country girls, and bastard children. Essentially, anyone who wanted to be in a higher social status. Ian Mo was a very loyal servant to William and he was infuriated. How could he possibly let these women marry his master? He thought that this competition was an insult. He wanted to destroy the arena to bits and pieces. "Ian, don't you dare. Just keep watching!" a deep voice came from behind Ian, it was full of charisma and allure. He was interested in this competition. The slender figure hidden under the tent could see everything and it looked like he understood something. He was looking at one of the fighters. He thought about something for a second and then he whispered in a low voice, "Julia Chu." "My lord, you wouldn't like that woman." Ian looked at her blood-stained face and he couldn't see any good qualities in her. If anything, he thought that her femininity was beaten out of her. "Be quiet," his cold voice rang out. "Yes, my lord!" Facing Sydney's fierce attack, Julia warned the other soul inside her, "Be careful! Sydney may be a maid, but she is also a Third Level Condensed Body Spiritual Practitioner." Julia wasn't going to die as soon as she possessed a new body. She also wanted to save her mother after seeing and feeling her memories. A bright blue light flashed within Julia's eyes. Although she was in another world, she still had her powers from her past life. Through Julia's memories she was also able to learn more about this new world. This was a world full of spiritual energy. People could absorb spiritual energy to strengthen their body and soul. This was called Spiritual Cultivation. Spiritual Cultivation is the act of gathering and directing spiritual energy. When one directs spiritual energy it goes to various realms or techniques. The realms are then divided into nine levels to signify ability and power. Julia wanted to see just how powerful this third level practitioner really was. "The Condensed Body Realm is giving her three times the strength of her normal body. She is definitely worthy to serve the Qin family." "The Qin family is one of the most powerful families here in the kingdom, I heard that all servants need to be at her level in order to serve." "Julia knows how to put on a good show. Hahaha, but sadly she is going to die at the hands of a mere servant, it's a shame really!" "If she's going to die, then why isn't she admitting defeat?" The faces of the people who were watching showed complete horror and pity, but Julia's bloodshot eyes were calm. Her eyes were gleaming with anticipation as she smirked. "She's too slow!" she thought to herself. Although Sydney was three times stronger and faster than normal, she was moving in slow motion in Julia's eyes. Julia moved forward. She dodged Sydney's attacks with grace and skill while striking back at her. The parts she hit were very specific weak spots that she could see. It wasn't enough to kill her but it was enough to leave her in excruciating pain. Sydney dropped to the ground like a dead fish. It looked like Julia was showing off the whole time. Her skirt disappeared the last time, but now her top was completely gone leaving only bandages that were uncoiling from her chest. She put her arms around herself, she was trembling all over, and her eyes widened in horror. How was she doing this? Was she a monster all along? How could her clothes disappear like this? Now Julia was the one stepping on her chest. She lowered her head, stared at Sydney and said coldly, "That was just a warm-up. For my next trick, I'll make your heart disappear." Her cold voice made Sydney shudder. The person in front of her couldn't possibly be Julia. Julia's body has been possessed by a fierce ghost. That was the only explanation she could think of. "Tell me, who sent you to kill me? If you don't answer me I'll make your heart disappear." Julia stepped on her heart fiercely, as she was staring at her she caught a glimpse of her own hands. These hands were smaller than usual, and they were much weaker and slower. Julia wasn't used to them. "Ah! Please, not my heart! I'll tell you everything, please." Sydney was crying with fear. "It was my young master. My master said that you used to be his fiancée. He said that it would've been an embarrassment if you won the competition and married Prince William. "He asked me to give you to poison and beat you to the death. The poison was the type that can only paralyze your throat that way you wouldn't be able to give up," Sydney yelled out in her loudest voice to satisfy the evil spirit within Julia. Everyone was looking at them in excitement, but when they heard the servant's words, they were all shocked. Henry had broken off his engagement with her, and he even sent his maid to kill his former fiancée. They all thought it was too vicious. Julia then said to Julia internally, "Do you understand now?" But Julia only saw a weak soul, crying and shedding blood. She didn't know Henry personally, but with the memories she saw, she knew that Julia truly cared for him. It was unbelievably painful for Julia to know that the man she loved wanted to kill her so ruthlessly. A figure appeared from the crowd, and he then said to the woman in the arena, "Julia, stop! Sydney is my personal maid, don't you dare hurt her!" The man was Henry Qin, the young master of the Qin family. The man was beautifully dressed. His handsome face and his status as the young master of one of the four most powerful families in the kingdom made any woman fall for him. He stood on the edge of the arena, he looked at Julia with an angry expression and said, "Insolent fool, I broke the engagement the moment you stole the miracle pill from my family. Whatever she says doesn't matter, I won't take you back. "Concede and give the victory to Sydney. She has worked very hard to attain the strength that she has, and she is more than worthy to live in the wealth and comfort of the royal family." At this time, Julia, who was bleeding and weeping, couldn't cry anymore. At this time, she finally saw the true nature of this man, and her heart was shattered to pieces. Julia turned her eyes, looked at Henry and said coldly, "I must become Prince William's fiancée today and I'll destroy anyone who gets in my way." Julia's mother was in danger, marrying William, and getting the Nine-Lives Resurrection Pill of the Rong family was the only way she could save her. There was a chill in her eyes. The people who were insulting and laughing at her were left speechless. Such murderous intent coming from such a beautiful woman was scary. Henry was also stunned, he had a feeling that the Julia in front of him was a completely different person. In the past, even though she had a talent for cultivation, she still had the mentality of a weak little woman. She was very gentle with him, she relied on him, she believed in every word he said, and she obeyed his orders at any time. But now she had a hateful aura, this woman could kill him if she had the chance. Henry couldn't understand what he was seeing. "This woman is in my way, so I'll finish her first!" Julia grabbed Sydney's neck and lifted her up. Sydney's body was in the air and she was struggling to break free as she pleaded, "No… Please… Master, save me." "Leave Sydney out of this, your quarrel is with me!" "I'm not your fiancée anymore. I don't have to listen to you," Julia said in a sarcastic tone. Such an arrogant and pretentious attitude made him lose control of his usual grace and dignity. He walked into the ring with an unbridled rage. "If you kill my maid, I will hunt you down until you are dead!" Powerful spiritual energy burst out of him, and strong winds were blowing against her face.
