Origin System - Chapter 31 Loves At First Sights
Jiang Chen enters the Ice Moon Sect’s main gates. Although the sect was open to outsiders during the event, the areas you can access were only the stage and the front gate. Even the males who are married to the disciple are placed under strict moderation and can’t even walk out of the building without someone to supervise them.
Streams of people of both genders have gathered beneath the stage. Since the Ice Moon Sect was one of the top 10 sects to join, the event is considered a heavenly rite of passage.
After getting signed up with the woman at the booth, Jiang Chen had time to look around.
The ladies of the Ice Moon Sect were truly classical beauties in the cultivation world. Since they cultivated the sect’s cultivation methods, they developed an icy demeanor that suited well with their looks. Even the ugliest girl from the sect would be hailed as a goddess if she were to visit any village out in the country.
A blast of chilling emerged from nowhere as a giant sword slowly landed onto the stage. Hundred of beautiful maidens stepped off of the sword with a middle-aged woman in the front. The sword shrunk down and floated in front of the woman before being sucked into her interspatial ring.
“I, Leng Shui, am honored to welcome the Four Cultivation Kings to my lowly sect’s event. I also welcome the rest of you to this year’s Ice Enrollment Battle.”
Leng Shui politely bowed towards four people who were seated in the sky. Four pieces of rock with chairs on them were suspended in the air. The people who sat on them couldn’t be seen from the ground and had an otherworldly aura.
Although the Four Cultivation Kings’ status is directly below that of the ancient cultivators, their word is law within the mortal realm. Having all four of them attend your event is probably be the best things that would happen to you in your life.
“Rules and procedures will be the same as the previous years. One person will enter the stage and shout who they would like to compete with. Males winners are only allowed into the sect only if they are married to one of our disciples. Female winners, on the other hand, are allowed to freely join the sect. Winners will be placed above the loser’s position on the sect’s Ranking Board. Is there any questions before we begin?”
There was no response from the crowd.
“Then, I would like to officially begin Ice Moon Sect’s annual Ice Enrollment Battle.”
Many people who planned on participating shouted with excitement.
Most of the battles ended up with the challenger’s defeat, however, some would manage to barely overcome their opponent.

On Top Of The Four Platforms
On the platforms, there were two old men, one middle-aged man, and a young girl.
The two old men, who were sitting in the middle two seats, had the stereotypical look from Asian movies. They were both white-haired and had a long white beard that would be stroked every now and then. Although they had the look of someone who is about to kick the bucket, the old men had the vitality of a young teen.
On the very right, the middle-aged man sat with extreme confidence overflowing from him. His slightly pale face and well-groomed skin can easily make him the idol of many girls. Even while sitting down on a chair, his well-statured body is able to seen by others.
The girl, on the left, had a rigid feeling with her gaze. Indifference and harsh seemed like the words that would describe who she is.
The old man on the right said with a raspy voice to the middle-aged man directly next to him.
“Xiao Ming, that previous girl wasn’t bad. How about having her as a wife?”
“You can’t be serious, Old Geezer? That girl isn’t up to par with my standards.”
“You can’t be picky these days… Other than Yuan Qiang here, the other girls don’t have this type of talent.”
The other old man tried to convince him as well.
“He’s right, you know. Having high standards is just plain foolishness.”
for visiting.
Yuan Qiang snorted mockingly before saying:
“I can’t be like you geezers who married before you even hit puberty.”
“Humph! Youth is truly wasted on the young. Can’t even enjoy life properly!”
The three men argued for a few minutes before calming down.
One of the old men looked quietly at the young girl who sat on the very left and a sad expression appeared on his face.
“Sigh, If it weren’t for your grandfather dying so quickly, you would have probably gotten married already, Yuan Qiang.”
“It’s fine.”
Tradition stated that Yuan Qiang’s grandfather had to nominate someone of equal strength to replace him, however, he died before he could do it. This left the position to his family, which under special circumstances, got passed to Yuan Qiang at the age of 17.
Even though Yuan Qiang was passed this position at 17, she had inherited the monstrous talent of her grandfather and reached Core-Bearing Stage in just a year. Her cultivation speed is already considered on par with the ancient cultivators that could free traverse the earth and skies.
With the other three Cultivation Kings’ help, she is able to hold onto the position from the vying people. However, once the other kings are gone, she would be helpless.
“It’s truly a pity for your grandfather to die so early. Good people truly die young. Sigh…”
Yuan Qiang just sat there motionlessly.
“…”
The other old man smacked him on the back of the head after sensing the awkwardness in the air.
“Stop pestering her and focus on the event.”
————————————
The competition was growing fierce from the previous battle just before Jiang Chen’s name was called. He jumps up onto the stage with a single leap.
Yuan Qiang suddenly stared at Jiang Chen for a while and suddenly blushed fiercely.
On the other side of the stage, the Ice Moon Sect disciples were all busy talking about makeups and other stuff these girls would like to do in their free time. Fen Tang glanced her eyes over at disguised Jiang Chen and blushed violently.
