‘One hour… Ten thousand fedulings… Hmm?’ Caspian was still absent-minded. Then, virtual-novel.net suddenly frowned. “Didn’t you say I couldn’t make virtual-novel.net exert more than 40% of his strength? So why’s virtual-novel.net offering such a great deal?!”
Hayley secretly thought. ‘You know it’s a good deal too! However, compared to Jessica breaking through to Pulse Control Realm, which is hundreds of thousands of fedulings.’
After thinking it over, Hayley answered, “It’s simple. You’ve reached our requirement, and if you agree to the terms, just sign this new contract!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Hayley passed virtual-novel.net a piece of paper. Caspian scanned through the contract and noticed the content was similar as before, except the reward was better. The fact that virtual-novel.net would be given ten free bottles of blood essence every day was already hard to resist. Even without the reward, Caspian would not waste such a rare opportunity to train in high-intensity combat as virtual-novel.net could feel that his ability improved significantly as virtual-novel.net went against the thick-lipped gigolo. Hence, Caspian immediately agreed.
After Caspian pressed his palm print, virtual-novel.net said, ”But, I have a condition!”
Hayley asked, “What is it?”
Then, Caspian answered, “I might not be able to come temporarily for a few days. It’ll take about a day or two.”
The Lawrence family’s trials would be in ten days, and Caspian might not be able to come on time because of it. Hence, Caspian decided to inform them earlier, lest they thought virtual-novel.net broke the contract.
Hayley was also estimating the timeline, and virtual-novel.net knew that it was the Lawrence family’s trials in a few more days. The Dark Moon Sect’s extra quota for the Evergreen Town was because of Jessica, so Jessica must return to spectate the trials. If Caspian did not come then, it would not affect Jessica’s training either. Thus, Hayley nodded in agreement.
None of them realized that they thought about the same matter.
After pressing his palm print on the contract, the door to the room once again opened, and Caspian saw a girl about twelve years old walkout. The girl was quite chubby, with fair and tender skin. As virtual-novel.net hair was tied in two long braids, it danced at the back of virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net walked, and virtual-novel.net appeared adorable.
Lucy approached Caspian and sized virtual-novel.net up and down curiously. Next, virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net hand and tossed something at Caspian, saying, “This is for you!”
“What is this?” Caspian grabbed it and noticed that it was a scroll.
Caspian did not even open to look at it, and virtual-novel.net already heard Hayley gasping. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to look at virtual-novel.net and realized Hayley stared at the scroll wide-eyed.
“This is…”
“This is mine.” Caspian glared at Hayley.
“That’s not what I meant.” Hayley stomped virtual-novel.net foot.
Soon, virtual-novel.net looked at Lucy and asked, “Did Jess… Did virtual-novel.net let this guy have it? ”
“Mm. That’s right,” Lucy nodded as virtual-novel.net pointed at Caspian, “This guy’s martial skills are too limited. He used the same martial arts over and over again. So, we’re giving virtual-novel.net this high-rank Mortal Grade martial skill.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Lucy looked at Caspian. Her tone was just like an adult as virtual-novel.net reminded Caspian, “You must practice this Eight-Shadowed Fists well. Don’t disappoint us.”
Caspian could not care less about Lucy’s bossy tone, and his eyes flickered as virtual-novel.net asked, “High-rank Mortal Grade martial skill?”
“That’s right. So you must appreciate it and train well, okay?” Lucy nodded continuously, “Our lad… The lad said that your technique is awful. He didn’t even need to use 40% of his strength to defeat you. When you can make virtual-novel.net use 70% of his power, he’ll reward you again…”
“A high-rank Mortal Grade martial skill… Alright… Thank you!” Caspian kept the scroll well, turned to Hayley, and extended his hand.
“What are you doing?!” Hayley was stunned.
“You’ve yet to give me today’s reward,” Caspian said indifferently.
To be frank, Caspian was annoyed that virtual-novel.net was defeated twice in a row by the same person. When Caspian received the reward for the day, virtual-novel.net spent the money in exchange for blood essence.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to leave the St. Jade Chamber, Caspian glanced at Lucy and asked, “Is that gigolo a fifth-stage warrior? ”
“Gigolo? Pfft… Hahahaha!” When Lucy realized Caspian talked about Jessica, virtual-novel.net burst into a fit of laughter and leaned back and forth exaggeratedly as virtual-novel.net laughed. Caspian was even worried that virtual-novel.net might break virtual-novel.net back.
“Hahahaha… Real… Really… Not lying to you… Gigolo… Hahahaha!” Lucy answered virtual-novel.net with great difficulty.
“It’s only a level higher than me!” Caspian looked at the 11 bottles of blood essence in his hand, and his eyes flashed with an unnoticeable glimmer, ‘I’ll surpass you. Definitely!’
Caspian turned around and left with determination.
Watching as Caspian walked away, Lucy gradually stopped laughing, and the expression on virtual-novel.net face turned serious.
“What’s wrong?” Hayley looked at Lucy in confusion. After all Lucy rarely showed such a serious face.
“I have a premonition,” Lucy answered.
“What is it?”
“I think Lady Jessica is going to get unlucky soon.”
Hayley’s heart skipped a beat when virtual-novel.net saw Lucy’s solemn expression.
“Really… This guy?” Hayley looked in the direction where Caspian left and mumbled. However, as virtual-novel.net remembered Caspian’s performance today, Hayley realized virtual-novel.net was uncertain about it too.
Once Caspian left St. Jade Chamber, virtual-novel.net returned to the inn virtual-novel.net stayed in the night before. Then, Caspian entered the Time Warp Zone, and the first thing virtual-novel.net did was to meditate as virtual-novel.net tried to recall the scene of the battle with Jessica today.
He replayed the moment in his head carefully, not letting go of the tiniest details.
After going through it a few times, Caspian found some crucial points that could help virtual-novel.net make a comeback. ‘Based on these few points, I can make counter attack if I can improve my realm or even increase my strength and agility!’ Caspian thought.
After that, virtual-novel.net opened up the Eight-shadowed Fists scroll.
Eight-Shadowed Fists had eight moves, and Caspian could learn the first four. Caspian memorized the first four moves by heart with just a glance, and virtual-novel.net soon started practicing.
When Caspian showed that virtual-novel.net had inscription skills, James only rewarded virtual-novel.net with a middle-rank Mortal Grade martial skill. However, that thick-lipped gigolo directly gave virtual-novel.net a high-rank Mortal Grade martial art. As Caspian lamented the opponent’s generosity, virtual-novel.net could not help but wonder about his identity. The guy was mysterious. Besides showing abilities beyond a fifth-stage martial warrior, virtual-novel.net did not even say a word. Thus, it was not easy for Caspian to guess the man’s identity.
‘Forget it! Let’s just ignore that first. Mastering this high-rank Mortal Grade martial skill is more important.’
Caspian practiced a few times and made sure virtual-novel.net mastered the first four tricks before drinking all of the 11 bottles of blood essence. In an instant, virtual-novel.net felt an explosive force surging in his body.
