Just as Jessica contemplated whether to let virtual-novel.net breathing continue and fully show virtual-novel.net strength, Caspian said, “That’s enough! I know it now.”
“But I…” Jessica wanted to tell virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net current strength was due to the training with virtual-novel.net every day and that virtual-novel.net improved herself.
However, Jessica could not say those words as once virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth, virtual-novel.net identity would be exposed. Jessica felt an indescribable complex emotion spreading in her, and just as virtual-novel.net felt the faint hurt, virtual-novel.net eyes started warming up. She wanted to thank him, but virtual-novel.net could not.
At that time, Caspian once again appeared in front of virtual-novel.net and uttered, “Thank you.”
Jessica raised virtual-novel.net head in surprise, and virtual-novel.net eyes glistened as virtual-novel.net looked at him.
“When I come back, I’ll defeat you,” Caspian smiled and waved his hands. “Then, goodbye for now.”
Jessica waved virtual-novel.net hands, but the word, goodbye, was stuck in virtual-novel.net throat. In the end, virtual-novel.net could only whisper in a voice that only virtual-novel.net could hear, “Goodbye…”
Jessica looked at Caspian’s back, but virtual-novel.net suddenly felt odd. Even though virtual-novel.net bade goodbye, Caspian did not leave. Instead, virtual-novel.net approached Hayley.
“The money.” Caspian extended his hand toward Hayley.
“Do you want to exchange it for blood essence?” Hayley was amused as Caspian was still the same. He seemed only to have money in his mind, and no one would be able to cheat him.
“I don’t need blood essence this time. Just money would be enough,” Caspian replied.
“Alright.” Despite being surprised at Caspian being out of character, Hayley did not say much but just nodded in agreement.
After taking his money, Caspian quickly left the St. Jade Chamber. Then, with a flash, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
“Lady Jessica! Lady Jessica!” Lucy approached Jessica. When virtual-novel.net saw Jessica still in a trance, Lucy waved virtual-novel.net hands in front of Jessica. “He’s gone!”
Jessica was taken aback, and virtual-novel.net came back to virtual-novel.net senses. Then, virtual-novel.net hurriedly spoke meanly, trying to hide virtual-novel.net embarrassment. “I know!”
“Sigh. Casper’s so pitiful. He’s going to be rejected by Lady Jessica tomorrow. Tonight when we return, I’ll burn three sticks and incense and pour virtual-novel.net a glass of wine as a comfort.” Lucy shook virtual-novel.net head and sighed.
“Burn incense and pour wine?” Jessica looked at Lucy puzzledly, “Where did you learn such a way to comfort others? Are you sure virtual-novel.net can feel it?”
“Of course,” Lucy nodded confidently, “My mother did the same on my father’s grave last time.”
Jessica and Hayley were speechless.
***
After leaving St. Jade Chamber, Caspian directly headed to the Lawrence Manor. He did not return for about ten days. In those ten days, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, Caspian advanced to the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm at an astonishing speed.
When virtual-novel.net was in Salleria, even if those warriors had a great opportunity, great perseverance, and great wisdom, it would still take them at least 20 years to advance from the fourth stage to the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm. It was only less than a month since Caspian last achieved the fourth stage. Caspian used a month to reach a stage that ordinary warriors might need about so years, and some could not even complete it in their lifetime. Thus, besides the Time Warp Zone, the blood essence and St. Jade Chamber’s training were equally essential for him.
‘Watch out. I’m going to surprise all of you!’ Looking at Evergreen Town with winding lights from a distance, Caspian’s eyes glistened, and virtual-novel.net smiled faintly.
In the midsummer night breeze, the young man’s silhouette exuded a strong power as if virtual-novel.net could save the universe. Then, virtual-novel.net tossed the bag full of fedulings in his hand.
‘After tomorrow, these ten thousand fedulings will be useful for that thing in the sixth floor of the Tower of Life.’ Caspian thought
At that time, in a dimly lit room in the Lawrence Manor, Yoel waved a sharp sword. In the flash of silver light, the sword appeared as if it had more than ten blades. Soon, the flying leaves that filled the air were split in half.
“Young Master Yoel, your swordsmanship is impressive. With this martial skill, I’m sure you can be among the top two and represent our Lawrence family.” The servant who waited on the side complimented Yoel, trying to flatter him.
”Humph. Isn’t that obvious?” Yoel said with a proud smile. After all, virtual-novel.net spent great effort practicing the middle-rank Mortal Grade Heavenly Spike Swordsmanship.
Although most of the attention for the Lawrence family’s younger generation would be on Jessica and Ashton, Yoel was also an excellent member. He knew that point well, which was why Yoel could not tolerate Caspian.
It was enough for the Lawrence family to have two brilliant guys. Who was Caspian anyway!
“It’s natural to get the chance to join the Lawrence family‘s trials, but my goal is more than that,” Yoel snorted, “Did you find out anything about the matter I asked you to investigate?”
The servant bowed slightly and answered, “I’ve checked them. My people never left the small house for the past few days, and they informed me that Casper wasn’t home for about ten days, and they didn’t know where virtual-novel.net went.”
“Tsk. Coward!” Yoel laughed menacingly, “If he’s really smart, virtual-novel.net should’ve left earlier. That way, virtual-novel.net won’t suffer so much pain. Of course, if virtual-novel.net dares to return tomorrow. I’ll show no mercy!”
The servant quickly agreed and flattered Yoel. “You’re right, Young Master Yoel. That Casper’s digging his own grave. I can’t believe virtual-novel.net dares provoke you!”
On the other side of the Lawrence Manor, a two-story small building was hidden behind the quiet waterside pavilion and bamboo forest. At that moment, Ashton sat cross-legged in a small room in the building, and there were two empty bottles in front of him. These bottles were only the size of an adult’s thumb.
Ashton shut his eyes and meditated as his chest was undulating. As for his father, Keith, stood not far away, looking at Ashton excitedly and anxiously.
After some time, Ashton said calmly, “Father, do you have something to say?”
Keith did not immediately answer Ashton, but virtual-novel.net hurriedly approached Ashton and asked nervously, “How do you feel? Do you think the blood essence improves your state?”
“Since they can sell the blood essence at such a high price, it’ll surely improve one’s state.”
After hearing those words, Keith was yet to express his joy when virtual-novel.net heard Ashton saying, “However, the blood essence’s vigor is too strong and overpowering. I’m afraid I have only absorbed one-tenth of strength from the two bottles of blood essence I drank, and it’ll take at least fifteen days to absorb all of it. ”
“What about the trials tomorrow..?” Keith was worried.
Ashton glanced at Keith. Although there was no accusation in Ashton’s voice, Keith’s heart trembled.
“Father, do you think I’ll lose to that trash?”
