High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily Chapter 272 - 159: Gathering of Heroes, Geniuses of the Era

The woman in the Profound Robe with a green veil had an indistinct face, but her presence felt extrely pure and cold. Only her beautiful eyes seed to flow with brilliance, leaving an impression simply unforgettable.

If soone rely had a few interactions with Shen Xingzhu, they would definitely not suspect a thing.

From head to toe, from aura to the pressure of her cultivation, this person unmistakably appeared to be Shen Xingzhu herself.

Especially now, when hardly anyone had seen Shen inan.

But to Chen Kuang, the difference between these two sisters was as clear as the distinction between a strawberry and a cherry.

There was simply no comparison at all.

Just by seeing those eyes for a split second, Chen Kuang could tell that the person standing in front was Shen inan, not Shen Xingzhu.

If it were Shen Xingzhu, her eyes would never be this clear; her gaze always seed shrouded by a layer of cold mist, like a tiless, aloof moon in the sky, looking down on people not as peers, but as insects or inanimate objects.

Of course, that was indeed the truth...

However, after making this judgnt, Chen Kuang furrowed his brows.

The person, without a doubt, was Shen inan.

But the question is... why would the Mystic God Daoist Sect send Shen inan?

Moreover, why would they have Shen inan dress up like Shen Xingzhu?

As these two questions erged in his mind, Chen Kuang imdiately noticed more peculiarities.

Not to ntion that the Mystic God Daoist Sect had no reason to have Shen inan impersonate Shen Xingzhu, doing sothing that defied all reason and was impossible to explain.

Apart from the eyes, the woman in front, judging by appearance and build alone, was completely Shen Xingzhu herself.

But there was one crucial detail—

The back of this "Shen Xingzhu" in front of him was too straight.

It’s not that Shen Xingzhu’s back wasn’t straight. On the contrary, as the current Daoist of the Mystic God Daoist Sect, a figurehead, no one could find fault with her mannerisms. Upright and elegant posture was just a minor point.

However, because her mannerisms had long been ingrained, she naturally did not need to maintain them deliberately.

Though her back was straight, her posture should have been relaxed.

Yet at this mont, the shoulders and back of "Shen Xingzhu" were more tense than usual, as if deliberately maintaining a rigid posture, to the point of leaning too far backward.

Under normal circumstances, this subtle difference would go entirely unnoticed.

But the one who noticed this was Chen Kuang.

The only person he had ever seen with such a habit was Shen inan.

This young woman always maintained her deliberately straightened posture because she needed it to keep her body balanced front to back...

Yet now, the balance was disrupted, but the habit persisted, resulting in this subtle distinction.

Combining this with all the previous confusions in Chen Kuang’s mind, he conceived an incredible thought.

Perhaps, it’s not Shen inan pretending to be Shen Xingzhu...

But rather, right now, she is Shen Xingzhu!

As waves of shock surged in Chen Kuang’s heart, the other people present had already started to greet Shen Xingzhu first.

A "Dao beacon" as praised by a scholar, a prodigious genius not encountered in millennia, a grandmaster at twenty-five, everyone present was undoubtedly considered juniors, so paying respect was naturally appropriate.

Chen Kuang suppressed his inner emotions, discreetly followed suit with the others, not betraying any flaw.

At the sa ti, he took advantage of these people introducing themselves to observe carefully.

"Yan Hui of the Three Tribulations Sect, greetings to the Daoist."

The first to speak was the archenemy, the Three Tribulations Sect.

Chen Kuang’s brow twitched as he looked over.

Yan Hui from the Three Tribulations Sect, appeared as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, clad in bright red, with flowing black hair, exceptionally handso, with two golden rings around his wrists. Although he was bowing, his expression was indifferent, his tone cold, exuding a hint of arrogance.

Clearly, his attitude wasn’t good, lacking the usual reverence people showed towards Shen Xingzhu, and even carried a hint of provocation in his gaze.

If it were anyone else, such behavior would undoubtedly be courting death.

But Yan Hui had the ans to back it up.

This person was the adopted son of Yan Taiyi, the Supre Elder of the Three Tribulations Sect, who was just a step away from achieving the Saint Dao Fruit.

Also, he was one of the only two Grandmaster Realm cultivators present!

However, although he appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen, in reality, he was already forty-two, still far from Shen Xingzhu in terms of talent.

He was also the previous number one in Canglang’s evaluation.

The year he fell from the top of Canglang’s evaluation, Shen Xingzhu erged, directly taking the first spot.

At this mont, Chen Kuang had only two words to describe this person.

Flashy.

Although the cultivators of this world can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, their ntal growth is not as delayed as that of beasts.

While there are countless thods to maintain one’s youthful appearance, typically, it remains fixed at a youthful phase, at least looking like an adult.

But Yan Hui was exceedingly rare, keeping his appearance in the teenage phase.

This probably wasn’t due to any special reason. Looking at his striking red attire and handso features, it was likely due to pure vanity.

Everyone has a heart that loves beauty, but this guy seed a bit more flamboyant about it.

However... given such a personality, background, and prowess, yet the Young Master of the Three Tribulations Sect was Wei Su, only at the Sea Breaking Realm, instead of Yan Hui.

Evidently, internal conflicts within the Three Tribulations Sect were likely significant.

Otherwise, such a mismatch in position and rit wouldn’t occur.

Chen Kuang’s thoughts churned as he shifted his gaze to a woman beside him, only to be montarily stunned.
