Caspian’s current body was equivalent to being well-tempered hard metal, and it would be impossible for ordinary sharp weapons to hurt him. Nevertheless, for the sake of testing the effect of the Demon’s Ways to Eternity, virtual-novel.net purposely got rid of some of his blood and Qi.
Swoosh!
A blade light flashed, and a trace of blood instantly appeared on Caspian’s arm. The wound was not deep, but the cut skin and flesh were quickly healed with Caspian‘s current self-healing rate.
After a while, Caspian once again used the same strength to cut at the same spot…
Swoosh!
A blade light flashed. Although it felt subtle, Caspian sensed that the cut this time was not as deep. Moreover, his healing rate was slightly faster than before. Thus, even though it was just a faint change, the effect of the Demon‘s Ways to Eternity was fully reflected.
Caspian uttered slowly, “The defense against the same type of attack will become stronger, and the self-healing rate will also improve. This is the Immortal Demon Physique.”
“Immortal… Demon…” Caspian mumbled to himself, “If I want to achieve such a level, I’m afraid I’ll have to get through hell-like training.”
Caspian imagined the scene, and virtual-novel.net thought that it would be gory. To ensure the enemies would not be able to cut through his skin and flesh, Caspian would need to cut himself tens of thousands of times, or even hundreds of thousands of times, during his practice.
After all, as virtual-novel.net received stronger, similar attacks, his defense would also improve. It would be somewhat serious to say virtual-novel.net would need to be cut thousands of times, but it might actually not be a lot. Nonetheless, Caspian was not afraid at all.
When virtual-novel.net was imprisoned in the hellhole prison for a year, Caspian could deal with it calmly. Hence, external injuries would be nothing for Caspian. Moreover, inflicting the pain on himself would bring significant benefits to virtual-novel.net in the future.
“Alright. Then, the training will begin from tonight onward.” After thinking it through, Caspian decided to start from wounds inflicted by swords.

At the same time, in a room in Evergreen Town’s Lawrence Manor, two silhouettes were reflected on a wall not far away from them, and they were stretched long and thin under the illumination of the candle lights, Jessica’s voice full of resentment came, and it quickly pierced through the quiet night.
“So what if I’m not going to the Dark Moon Sect! Since they abandoned Casper, I’m not going anymore! How could they do that to him!”
Jessica was currently facing James, who was standing in the room. Previously, James also figured that once Jessica was informed about Dark Moon Sect’s decision, virtual-novel.net would have a massive reaction to the news. However, James did not expect Jessica’s attitude to virtual-novel.net so intense. She refused to enter the Dark Moon Sect!
Everything was agreed long ago, and the Dark Moon Sect already recorded Jessica’s identity as their disciple. As for why Jessica was acting strangely furious, it was naturally because the Dark Moon Sect abandoned Caspian.
“Jessica Lawrence, did the Lawrence family ever cross your mind?! If those people from the Dark Moon Sect heard what you said, do you know what might happen to you? What might happen to the Lawrence family?!” James tried his best to control his fury, but his tone was not as polite as before anymore. He directly shouted Jessica’s full name.
“I don’t care what happens to you all! All I know is the Dark Moon Sect went back on their words! Not only that, because Casper wanted to save me, virtual-novel.net was injured by Kevin and Zephyr! Casper got hurt because of me! It’s also because of me that he’s delayed for so long! Otherwise, with Casper’s strength, virtual-novel.net would’ve surpassed that group of warriors earlier on, and he wouldn’t have encountered those things!”
Jessica straightened virtual-novel.net back and widened virtual-novel.net bloodshot eyes. Tears welled in virtual-novel.net eyes, but virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net hardest not to let them fall. Besides that, virtual-novel.net tone was full of grievance, anger, and indignance.
“Casper shattered his meridians because of me, and I’m also the reason why virtual-novel.net did not successfully become the winner. If I turn my back against virtual-novel.net now, what will people think about me?! No! I want to tell the Dark Moon Sect that by rejecting Casper, they’re rejecting me too!”
Out of anger, James roared, “Don’t be so audacious!”
His voice was so loud that it shook the candle flames, and it was as if they would go out at any time. James’ voice immediately quietened the entire room. Nonetheless, Jessica did not back down just because James was angry. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net appeared just like a stubborn little leopardess, widening virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net stared at James.
“Jessica, you should know that you represent the Lawrence family. If you reject them, not only will you die, but the entire Lawrence family will be put to death! Do you want to watch as your whole clan is exterminated because of you?! With or without Casper, you‘ve been selected to enter the Dark Moon Sect earlier! Besides, weren’t you against the wedding arrangement and ran away from home?! Since you disapprove of the wedding, and now that Casper won’t enter the Dark Moon Sect, the distance between the two of you will only get bigger. Hence, the wedding will naturally be canceled. Isn’t this what you wanted?! As for Casper, you don’t have to worry about virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net only lost the chance to enter the Pulse Control Realm. Even if he’s a useless person, our Lawrence family will still be able to care for him. Moreover, I’ll tell virtual-novel.net about this myself. If he‘s willing to stay in the Lawrence family, I’m willing to accept virtual-novel.net as my step-son with his fifth-stage True Martial Realm ability. If he’s unwilling, I’ll also give virtual-novel.net a large sum of fedulings, and virtual-novel.net can go wherever virtual-novel.net wants to!”
After virtual-novel.net said that, James turned around and slammed the door shut. In the room, the candle flame swayed, and Jessica’s body trembled as tears filled virtual-novel.net eyes. She only felt that the house was getting colder and lifeless.
Finally, virtual-novel.net could not hold back anymore. Jessica squatted on the floor, hugged virtual-novel.net knees, and bawled virtual-novel.net eyes out. “It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault!” She mumbled as virtual-novel.net wept, and tears streamed down virtual-novel.net cheeks like streams.
Jessica’s eyes were red from crying too hard, and virtual-novel.net felt as if everything was hurting. In virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net kept recalling the scenes between virtual-novel.net and Caspian in the St. Jade Chamber, where the two hid their identities and met each other by accident.
After more than ten days of hard training, they admired each other’s abilities.
On the day of parting, there was a gleam in Caspian‘s eyes, and virtual-novel.net even said, ”I want to witness your true strength.”
On the Lawrence family’s trials, Jessica identified Caspian through his martial skills and figure. Then, virtual-novel.net did not hesitate to block Kevin’s killer move for him. After knowing that Caspian and Maisie were getting close, Jessica’s heart was filled with complicated emotions.
During the Evergreen Town’s competition, in the face of strong opponents and murderous intent, Caspian could still calmly say, “Don‘t worry about me! Go!”
Jessica felt almost out of breath as virtual-novel.net cried, and virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net knees as virtual-novel.net trembled violently.
“Casper, I said that I’m going to help you, but I didn’t even do anything right. I couldn’t do anything. I’m so sorry… How am I to face you now…:”
Jessica cried harder between virtual-novel.net murmuring, and virtual-novel.net tears fell to the ground, splashing into tiny drops.
