Chapter 5: Nightmare
The first batch of factions allowed into the World of Paintings totaled seven. Six had already entered, leaving only Arcane Eternal Star.
A few minutes later, the Arcane Eternal Star personnel arrived. The newcomers were a man and a woman. The man had thick eyebrows and large eyes, appearing very steady, but his aura was resolute yet lacking in dominance. Beside him was a woman wearing a black-red robe and a hood, revealing only the lower half of her face. Her fair cheeks and rosy, thin lips left a strong first impression.
They were Yanqi·Soyeg and Female Spellcaster·Luo Xi. The former had a certain reputation in the Void. As for the latter, rumors about Luo Xi were mostly along the lines of: the granddaughter of Controller·Haman, the young miss of the Life School, and so on.
Do not think that Controller·Haman was a minor figure. Back in the Law Destruction Era, Controller·Haman was evenly matched with the current Supreme Being. In the years that followed, the gap between the two gradually widened. It could be said that Controller·Haman was one of the founding elders of Arcane Eternal Star.
As a direct descendant of Controller·Haman, all of Luo Xi's fame was negative. However, upon closer investigation, one would find that she had done nothing particularly noteworthy. Every time she traveled, it was very discreet, and she basically went out alone.
In the minds of most new-generation spellcasters of Arcane Eternal Star, the consistent impression of Luo Xi was: this woman rarely shows her face, and even if she has strength, it was built by piling up resources.
In reality, this was not the case. Luo Xi had been unusually mature since childhood. While cultivating her demonic energy, she never neglected practical combat. At least in her own view, her combat experience was quite rich.
Luo Xi had endured for a long time. Although she was a direct descendant of Controller·Haman, she had too many immediate relatives. Just her siblings from the same parents numbered six. The Life School, led by Controller·Haman, had always been known for its thriving population.
Luo Xi wanted to make a stunning debut—to shine in the Life School, to shine in Arcane Eternal Star. Only then could she obtain more resources. She had endured long enough. This entry into the World of Paintings was the opportunity she had been waiting for.
Luo Xi took her seat, still wearing her hood, maintaining her usual cold pride and elegance.
Su Xiao glanced at Female Spellcaster·Luo Xi. Seeming to notice Su Xiao's gaze, Luo Xi met his eyes. Their eyes locked for a moment, then Luo Xi looked away. With her experience, she naturally knew that even if she intended to make a name for herself by eliminating this Law Destroyer, she could not show it.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. As he took a drag, he had already determined the female spellcaster's attitude. It was inevitable that she would come looking for trouble. The way she had met his gaze and immediately looked away indicated the following points:
