"Tianshi? Yi?" Xuefeng called out after them but the two already entered the temple, disappearing inside .
He knew Tianshi failed her trial so he wanted to cheer her up away from everyone else . Just as he wanted to pull her away, she ran away with Yi .
"It's okay . We have to wait anyway . They probably want to improve their ranking," Xiao Wen assured him . "Once the Nuwa's army visits the trial, they would push them out of the leaderboard if they don't improve . "
"Yeah…" Xuefeng nodded but deep down he already decided to focus on Tianshi even more .
He didn't want her to be down just because she lagged behind everyone else . It wasn't her fault, to begin with .
As he wondered how he can help her, Yiren tugged on his sleeve and called out, "Look! They are coming . "
A cloud of expects flying through the sky in the broad daylight was definitely something unusual . They also had a set formation which made it a sight that pleased any pair of eyes . None of the crowd members knew though that they would soon witness the biggest Trial Crackdown in this era .
"Alright . Let's start the operation . "

As they were carrying out Xuefeng's plan, Tianshi was once again stuck, struggling at the third round of the Trial . She got convinced by both Yi and her Fate Spirit that she should try again . Yi said it would be good training for her but her Fate Spirit was different .
Just as she decided to repeat it, her future also changed and her Fate Spirit quickly alarmed her . She claimed a big fortune awaited her during the trial .
Too bad, she didn't see it .
'He is not going to last much longer… I knew it…' Tianshi thought, seeing her golem was already weak, its body full of holes .

This time she picked the biggest golem with Spirit Crystal, hoping there would be some change but it was even worse . It could no longer escape the enemy attacks thanks to her Heavenly Steps so it suffered much more damage each round . The only advantage she had was her golem's endurance which was much better compared to a middle-sized golem .
'Don't worry, I can feel it . Your blessing should be coming soon,' Her Fate Spirit repeated but Tianshi had eyes . There is no way she could escape the next barrage of attacks .
"It's over buddy . It was a nice run," Tianshi said out loud, seeing her golem was about to fall . Tens of Air Bombs bombarded it from each side, giving it no chance to resist .
'I guess I'm fated to be a support . If that's the case, I will become the best support I can be!' Tianshi announced, already accepting it as it was .
She was Liu Xuefeng's Most Supportive Wife!
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded throughout the arena followed by other tens of loud bangs . She knew it was over but there was a smile on her face .
'Huh? My golem is still standing?'
Just as she scanned the golem condition, she realized he was still fine and standing which surprised her . There was a white translucent armor surrounding the golem, seemingly protecting him from all the attacks .
At the same time, a massive headache hit her as if someone just created a hole in her mind . She searched for the cause of it only to find a massive log of new information she never remembered learning .
'Heavenly Support Arts…' Tianshi muttered the three words that stood out the most and froze, hearing her Fate Spirit excited voice . 'It's the blessing I was talking about!'
She didn't question her and quickly scanned through the arts, getting more astonished with each second . She received a whole bundle of arts out of nowhere .
Heavenly Shield, Heavenly Barrier, Heavenly Recovery and many more .

'They come from the same branch as my Heavenly Steps!' Tianshi suddenly realized, seeing a deep familiarity with her own arts . 'How is this possible?'
'Don't question it!' her Fate Spirit called out, waking her up from the shock . 'The armor is wearing off . We will worry about where the arts came from later . Let's use them first and pass the trial!'
'Yes!' Tianshi agreed and followed the instructions saved in her mind, recreating the armor on the golem . No matter how many Air Qi Bombs landed on the golem, he wasn't even a bit affected .
She didn't wait and finally attacked on her own, using the sudden opportunity to fight back .
A minute later, four metal corpses laid on the ground, beaten up and defeated .
'Congratulations on the win . Round four will start in three… two… one…'
The Trial Spirit voice reached her, announcing another round . She couldn't believe a fortune like this would happen to her but the evidence was right in front of her . Someone granted her wish .
'Whoever helped me… Thank you…'

"Sigh, I guess I only improved by three places…' Yi lamented, walking out of the Temple . "I thought this time I will enter the twenties at least .
Although she tried even harder, she only ended up at twenty-fourth place . She naturally wished for more .
Yi left through the exit and looked at the Leaderboard, being proud of herself nonetheless . To her surprise, almost half of the board was filled with the names with the addition of Liu Clan .
"Good day Milady . "
Someone called out to her from behind . She turned around and saw Elvish guards leaving through the winners' exit and new names popping up under her on the Leaderboard . Each time someone left the Trial, a new person got pushed down from the list .

"Good day…" Yi replied with a smile, enjoying the subtle change . Just recently she was still a maid yet now everyone treated her like a Milady .
Poof!
Her body exploded into thousands of stars which flew towards Xuefeng who was now surrounded by tens of guards in similar outfits . They filled almost one-fifth of the plaza but she easily passed through them .
"Xuefeng! I finished twenty-third!" Yi shouted as she materialized behind him and hugged him excitedly . She would be much higher if not for Nuwa's experts so she felt much better about her score .
Xuefeng turned her around to the front and she saw the uneasy expression on his face . Only then she realized there was no Tianshi with them .
"Is Tianshi still in the trial?" Yi asked confused, not expecting she would last this long .
"That's what we try to figure out as well . Are you sure she entered the Trial with you?" Xuefeng questioned, holding onto her . "You two ran off together . "
"I'm sure . She entered inside first," Yi nodded firmly . "Maybe she found her own way to pass the trial?"
"Hopefully that's true…" Xuefeng replied, lost in thought .
They waited for five more minutes and saw the last Elvish guard leaving the trial while there was still no sight of Tianshi .
One of the Team Captains looking the most aged from all the guards approached Wuying and reported, "Miss! Everyone finished the trial successfully . Would Miss like me to collect the rewards we won and give it to Miss?"
"No, tell your men to keep the rewards," Wuying replied calmly, acting like a leader . "You all should study the art and master Metal Element as soon as you can . "
"Yes, Miss! Thank you!" the Team Leader responded happily, acting quite satisfied with the reward .
Xuefeng looked at them and proposed, "How about you all move the group to the next closest Trial? I will wait alone for Tianshi . "
"The nearest one is the Fire Inheritance Trial . Are you sure you don't want us to wait with you?" Xiao Wen asked, rubbing his shoulder .
"It's okay . We are creating a commotion with so many people gathered together . I will wait for her and join you all . Don't worry," Xuefeng confirmed, assuring them .
"Alright . "
Xiao Wen explained to him the location of Fire Inheritance Trial and led everyone, leaving him alone . Yiren didn't want to go but he convinced her with a kiss .
He didn't know how long he waited but it had to be more than five minutes when a beauty he was waiting for finally appeared .
"She did it…" Xuefeng muttered amazed, seeing her leave from the winner's exit .
"Congratulations!" Xuefeng called out excitedly, walking up to her and hugged her tightly .
"Thank you," Tianshi replied softly and asked happily, "Won't you ask how I did it?"
"How you did it?" Xuefeng repeated after her, already planning to ask .
Tianshi grinned and teased, "Not telling you now~"
"Hah, it's okay . I'm still glad you are improving," Xuefeng laughed, not minding that at all and picked her up, flying to the sky . "Let's go . Everyone is waiting for us . "
"Wait!" Tianshi stopped him mid-air, turning his head to the side . "Look!"
There was only a Leaderboard in that direction so he scanned it and to his surprise, a new name appeared at the last spot . He didn't play favorites but he knew it was her .
100 . Liu Xuefeng's Most Supportive Wife
