Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Shen Yu smiled and patted Ning Xi's head. He then thought of how he should teach the method to Ning Xi and couldn't really find anything. After all, this method was best when acquired through practice.

If she mastered this method, she would be unbeatable in pure combat. And that's what she wanted.

"I'll teach you later. Though for that, you'll have to fight a lot of humans and Spritual Creatures alike. Actually, now that I think about it, why don't I make this our Sect heritage technique since it can be used in every situation?"

Shen Yu rubbed his chin as an idea spawned in his mind. He had been wondering what skill or techniques to choose to represent the Divine Harem Sect and couldn't find anything that would work with everyone.

After all, everyone had different aspects so he needed a technique that suited all those aspects.

Ning Xi grinned and gave a thumbs up.

"That's the best idea. And what's the name of it?"

"Hmm, I haven't named it yet. I just made it and continued to use it."

Shen Yu smiled sheepishly.

"Hehe, then the next meeting's agenda is this technique."

Shen Yu nodded and said, turning towards the Black Knight.

"Hmm, I'll see what I can do. Coming back to the Black Knight, they have a weakness , a fatal one actually. But not everyone can use its weakness against it."

Shen Yu pointed his hand forward as he pointed at the Black Knight.

"You have been focusing on its main body so you didn't notice one major thing. It has no Shadows."

Ning Xi was surprised and hurriedly looked down at the Black Knight's shadow, and indeed there was none. The sun was shining high above in the sky and everything was casting a shadow, even her, but there was none for the Black Knight.

"There's a reason the Black Knight's remain in the underground of Hollow Mountains aside from their guarding secret. And it's the darkness that dwells beneath the Hollow Mountains, not a single ray of sunlight reaches there.

The Black Knights live in eternal darkness where there is no light to cast a shadow."

Ning Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"But master, how do we use this weakness? Wait! Ah!"

Shen Yu laughed and nodded

"Yes, you guessed right. Yue'er is the perfect counter of Black Knights because she can use shadows as she likes. Watch this!"

Shen Yu looked at his shadow as it suddenly came alive and streched upwards. He stretched his hand and touched the shadows, as if they were physical object.

His shadow then returned to normal, leaving a dark sword made of shadow in Shen Yu's hand. He swung it a few times and then turned towards the Black Knight.

He smirked and muttered.

"Come!"

The Black Knight once again disappeared from its position, appearing above Shen Yu with its gauntlet heading towards Shen Yu's head.

Shen Yu smiled and did a vertical slash at the incoming hand, severing in one blow. He titled his head as the gauntlet passed through his cheeks. He then ducked down, avoiding the obsidian sword and rolled to the sides.

"Did you notice something?"

Shen Yu asked as he made the Black Knight once again immobilised. Ning Xi nodded, looking at the severed hand but then a confused look appeared on her face.

"Eh! What?"

Shen Yu looked at the gauntlet as he suddenly realised something. He facepalmed and thought.

'Ah! Someone please kill me! Oh! System I'm not saying that seriously!'

[....safe]

'Oii! Were you really going to kill me?'

[I can't disobey Master's orders.]

Shen Yu could swear he heard amusement in the system's voice. He rolled his eyes and turned towards Ning Xi.

"Well, this is another method to defeat it. I just mixed some things. If you're powerful enough to sever its limbs and make sure it doesn't get them back, you'll have it defeated. After all, it can regenerate holes and all but whole limbs?

Nah, for that he'll need the previous parts to connect again. It all works because of some runes which I'll study later on."

"I actually had that thought when I saw it regenerating the hole. However, as you can see, even punching that hole killed me, forget severing its limbs."

Ning Xi sighed, remembering how a single attack had broken all of her body.

"You don't have to put yourself so down. Black Knights are ferocious and could be said to possess enough presence to threaten anyone. You fought a Tier 6 and not only you held your ground against it, you even managed to injure it. It's something you can be proud of."

Ning Xi was a little speechless and asked.

"Master, didn't you say that there is only rule in battle. Kill or be killed. Then why should I be proud of losing? If you weren't there I would be dead."

"Exactly. That rule is for others, not for the members of Divine Harem Sect. I'm not letting anyone die."

Shen Yu shrugged. Fighting and everything was aside but this was something he would never compromise. Anyone who touched his family, should be prepared for a massacre. He might be a little hypocrite for doing this as many might call him, but he was fine with that.

"Hehe, that's why Master is the best."

Ning Xi giggled.

"Anyways, so what I wanted to show was that if you fight the Black Knight with a weapon made of shadow, it's regenerative properties won't work. But of course, your shadow weapon should be strong to actually cut that thick armour."

Shen Yu explained as he let the sword fall into his shadow and disappear into it. He then turned towards the Black Knight and said.

"And this is the best way to defeat the Black Knight. But this also requires a high Cultivation base and high control over shadows. Nevertheless, it's equally risky."

Shen Yu smiled and made his shadow go towards the Black Knight. It was a bizzare scene that played out on the uneven ground as a small part of Shen Yu's shadow separated from him, and went to the Black Knight. There it assumed the role of Black Knight's shadow.

Ning Xi watched everything in fascination and when she saw what Shen Yu was doing, she instantly understood it. She then exclaimed.

"Since the Black Knight is shadowless, you gave a part of your shadow to it, effectively controlling it. But it's also risky as you say, as if you aren't careful enough, you'll die."

Ning Xi knew a few things about shadows but not much. And even that information mostly came from Ying Yue. After all, shadow users were very rare, too rare in fact so there was little known about them.

However, Ning Xi atleast knew how dangerous they could be. Nobody really paid attention to their Shadow but it was a part of oneself and because of that, could hurt and even kill them.

But as everything else, shadows also had backlashes which may kill the user.

"Alright, I'll store this in our Sect and we can study it later and might even use as training module."

Shen Yu said, clicking his finger the shadow below Black Knight became hollow and swallowed it.

Ning Xi nodded and happily jumped in his arms. Even though she could have easily flew over, why would she not use the time to be spoiled?

Shen Yu shook his head with a smile and flew towards the designated zone. He had been keeping an eye it and aside from every disciple killing the Spiritual and getting injured, nothing major had happened.

So, he dropped Ning Xi news the designated zone and came back to his Sect box in the coliseum. Since it could have made things suspicious, he just teleported right inside the box, appearing on the same chair he was previously sitting on.

He sighed but then noticed many stares. He raised his head and saw Xiao Lan and other looking at him with concerned look.

"Is Sister Ning alright, Master?"

"With me here, do you think something will happen to her? Don't worry, it was just a bug that wandered towards the designated zone that she couldn't defeat. That's why she called me."

Xiao Lan heaved a sigh of relief and could hear others also doing the same. In just a month, they had grown a lot closer and even the prejudice Xiao Lan had lessened. Of course, it didn't completely disappear but that was beside the point as she practically hated all races.

Shen Yu recounted somethings as he looked at the giant screen and smiled, finding Ying Yue still chilling on the Dark Vraksha.

It was then the door to the box or rather the room was knocked. Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, wondering who was looking for a newbie like them and said.

"Come in, please."

The door opened as a purple-haired otherworldly beauty came inside the room. She would have looked even more beautiful, if not for the various scars on her face.
