Not long after, Caspian saw the inner disciple that the Dark Moon Sect arranged to spectate the competition, as well as James and George, who entertained the guest.
The Dark Moon’s sect inner disciple was named Ian Cullen, and virtual-novel.net appeared much younger than James, lest George, who already had a gray beard. However, George and James treated the man respectfully, and they were extremely polite with him. After all, not only was Ian a Dark Moon Sect’s inner disciple, but virtual-novel.net was also a third stage of the Pulse Control Realm cultivator!
In the entire Evergreen Town, no one was equal with his realm. Although George had the highest realm in the Lawrence family and achieved the peak of the second stage of the Pulse Control Realm, virtual-novel.net was still incomparable to Ian. It could be said that Ian could easily defeat ten Georges.
When Caspian arrived, James introduced virtual-novel.net to Ian, and Caspian bowed at Ian. It was apparent that Ian heard of Caspian from James and George before Caspian came. Hence, Ian was looking at Caspian with admiration.
After looking at Caspian for a while, Ian’s expression suddenly changed, and the atmosphere in the room had a noticeable change.
”Master Ian, you’re…” George hurriedly asked.
However, Ian’s speed was so fast that none of those present could catch up to him. He took a step forward and immediately grabbed Caspian‘s wrist.
George and James appeared worried, James’ face was gradually paler, as virtual-novel.net was worried that Caspian might have provoked Ian somewhere. If Caspian angered Ian before the competition even started, James might as well dig himself a grave.
At this time, Caspian still appeared calm, and virtual-novel.net let Ian place his two fingers on his wrist. Soon, Ian’s eyes glimmered with surprise, confusion, joy, excitement, and such emotions…
Then, Ian let go of his grip and returned to his seat. There was an unmistakable smile on his face.
“Master Ian, may I know what’s going on…” James could not help asking.
Ian laughed. “Chief James, it seems that the Lawrence family will surely win the other spot of our sect. Casper’s talent is making me feel embarrassed about myself.”
When they heard Ian’s reply, George and James gasped. Then, they saw a look of surprise in each other’s eyes.
Each time Caspian showed up, virtual-novel.net would always have an obvious improvement, and that was enough to amaze them. They also heard that Caspian broke the battle arena’s long-standing record, and they were even more impressed. Unfortunately, they had not been able to meet Caspian and asked for the details.
Unexpectedly, even Ian said Caspian made virtual-novel.net feel embarrassed about himself. The meaning behind it was completely astonishing. After all, Ian was the Dark Moon Sect’s inner disciple, and his status was utterly respectable. Up until now, only Jessica was accepted as a disciple among the Lawrence family members. Despite George and James being Pulse Control Realm cultivators, they were not qualified to enter Dark Moon Sect at all.
Hence, what Ian‘s praise was extraordinary.
George’s mind went blank for a moment before virtual-novel.net finally regained his senses. Then, virtual-novel.net maintained his composure, looking at Caspian and Ian. Next, virtual-novel.net asked puzzledly, “Master Ian, do you mind explaining what’s going on…”
Ian laughed as virtual-novel.net waved his hand. “Didn’t you tell me Caspian was a fifth-stage of the True Martial Realm warrior?”
“That’s right.” George and James nodded.
Ian chuckled and answered, “I can tell that it won’t be long before virtual-novel.net ascends into the Pulse Control Realm.”
“What?!” George and James exclaimed, and their voice was so loud that the birds on the tree outside the room were startled and flew away.
Even George widened his eyes in disbelief as virtual-novel.net looked at Caspian, and virtual-novel.net stuttered, “This… This… He’s going to be a cultivator soon?”
James’s jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Compared to George, James knew Caspian better as virtual-novel.net met Caspian when virtual-novel.net just arrived at Lawrence Manor. He remembered well that Caspian was only a third-stage True Martial Realm warrior when virtual-novel.net just arrived, yet, virtual-novel.net was about to ascend to Pulse Control Realm!
Additionally, Ian broke the news, which meant it was true.
Nonetheless, Caspian knew that virtual-novel.net could not hide it anymore. He never wished to keep it a secret, so virtual-novel.net admitted, “Yes, Uncle James and Grandpa George. I do feel the changes in my body, and I seem to be able to feel the mysterious energy in the air. However, it’s just the tip of the iceberg, and there’s still a distance away from actually realizing the essence of the world.”
Caspian’s words were neither humble nor brag, and virtual-novel.net was straightforward and frank, yet it did not make the others feel virtual-novel.net was uncomfortably arrogant.
Therefore, Ian instantly admired Caspian more. Not only did Caspian have a calm demeanor, but virtual-novel.net was also talented, polite, and knew how to carry himself well. Suddenly, Ian felt somewhat envious of Caspian. Nevertheless, the feeling only lasted for a millisecond, and it quickly disappeared.
Ian knew well that his task this time in Evergreen Town was to find talent for the Dark Moon Sect and judging from Caspian’s current ability and talent, Ian was confident that Caspian was the sure winner. Moreover, even Ian thought that if virtual-novel.net informed the sect about this matter, Caspian did not even need to enter the competition, but virtual-novel.net would directly be accepted as a disciple.
For this kind of promising disciple, it was beneficial to make friends with virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net rose to the top. After all, social connections were not only important in the mortal world, but also among the cultivators. Therefore, Ian treated Caspian in a friendly manner. He waved his hands and chuckled as virtual-novel.net said, “Casper, none of us are strangers here. Have a seat and let’ s talk.”
Seeing Ian’s attitude, George and James were once again shocked, especially when Ian was not as friendly as virtual-novel.net was now before this.
Suddenly, George and James felt somewhat regretful. If they knew that Caspian was even more outstanding than what they imagined, and even the Dark Moon Sect’s inner disciple was currying favor with Caspian, they would have valued Caspian more and even rewarded virtual-novel.net better.
When virtual-novel.net heard Ian’s words, Caspian smiled but did not reply.
Then, Ian finally realized something and urged, “Chief James, Old Master Lawrence. Please take a seat too.”
Caspian only sat once George and James took their seats, and his attitude instantly made Ian and the two Lawrences admire virtual-novel.net more. They even almost blurted out all sorts of praises.
At this time, George and James felt somewhat grateful for Caspian.
James also could not help but think, ‘What an outstanding lad! It’ll surely be a blessing to our Lawrence family if Jessica could marry him!’
After sizing Caspian up and down, Ian appeared even more delighted. He nodded and asked, “Casper, even though I admire your talent, I’m interested to see your capabilities! Do you mind showing it?”
When Caspian heard that, virtual-novel.net smiled lightly and replied, “Not a problem. May I know what you’ll like me to show, Master Ian?”
