Omar gave a detailed explanation of Caspian’s doubts. “He’s that amazing. I’ve seen Xander defeat an outer disciple in the Immortal Soldiers Arena before, and Xander still appeared energetic after the battle. However, an ordinary person is no match for Xander. The person’s training is really… Sigh Even I feel bad for him. Forget it. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Otherwise, I might have nightmares.”
Since Omar was unwilling to continue further as if there was something unspeakable, Caspian did not force virtual-novel.net either. Then, virtual-novel.net secretly calculated.
A mid-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple could defeat at least five entry-level first-stage disciples. A peak first-stage disciple could defeat at least five mid-level first-stage disciples. After reaching the second-stage Pulse Control Realm, the disciple’s strength could exceed more than ten peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples due to the increase in meridians.
If Xander could win against a second-stage Pulse Control Realm outer disciples, that meant that his strength was ten times stronger than the disciples of the same realm!
After giving it careful thought, it was indeed terrifying.
‘It’s no wonder virtual-novel.net could continuously win the title of the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. Xander’s strength is the best among the apprentices,’ Caspian replied as virtual-novel.net nodded his head.
“No matter what, let’s just hope for the best in the upcoming spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. Besides Maya, the rest of us don’t need to worry about meeting Xander before the top ten. However, once we enter the top ten, we’re on our own. After all, meeting Xander was equivalent to being eliminated. Sigh. That guy’s strength is too abnormal,” Omar said, smacking his lips.
Omar might seem to be lamenting, but Caspian noticed his tone was not as solemn as expected when virtual-novel.net talked about Xander’s formidable strength. Looking at Omar’s two longswords, Caspian quickly realized that Omar probably was yet to show his true power until now, and virtual-novel.net surely had some reservations.
After all, being ranked among the top was not just achievable through hard work, and Omar must have a secret too, like Maya’s innate Flame Phoenix Physique or even mastering a particular secret cultivation technique.
Even Caspian had his secrets. Besides his hard work, those secrets played a huge role in making virtual-novel.net enter the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list in his first competition.
Caspian could not help but secretly sigh, “None of them are easy competitors.”
After blabbering for almost two hours, Omar and Maya bade goodbye. At that time, Omar’s talkative nature was shown to its fullest, causing Maya not to have any chance to talk much with Caspian.
When they left, Maya’s gaze was full of grievance, and Caspian felt somewhat apologetic. Nonetheless, Caspian could not just sew Omar’s mouth shut, and virtual-novel.net was unaware of how talkative Omar was.
After sending off the two of them, Caspian returned to his courtyard. There were three more days left until the upcoming spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, and Caspian was deep in his thoughts. Due to the Cultivation State and falling unconscious last time, Caspian did not have a chance to fight with the strongest apprentices, which was one of Caspian’s regrets. Hence, Caspian was adamant about not wasting the opportunity three days later. Only through battling with the strong would Caspian test his strength and gain more experience.
Caspian was deep in thoughts as virtual-novel.net would to his courtyard. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard something piercing through the air behind him, followed by a feminine shout, “Idiot Casper! Watch out for the sword!”
Swoosh!
A ray of long sword light seemed to appear out of thin air, flashing behind Caspian, stabbing through the back of Caspian’s head.
“Ahh!” Lucy’s figure soon appeared, and virtual-novel.net adorable face was ashen. Then, with one hand holding the sword and the other covering virtual-novel.net mouth, Lucy mumbled, “I… I killed Casper! You idiot! Why didn’t you dodge!”
Lucy hid there for a while as virtual-novel.net wanted to scare Caspian. After all, no matter how smart Caspian was, virtual-novel.net would not have thought Lucy, who was far away in the Dark Moon Sect, would suddenly appear behind virtual-novel.net and sneak an attack. Besides that, Lucy even imagined the scene where Caspian was scared until virtual-novel.net wet his pants. However, Caspian did not even dodge her, but virtual-novel.net even stabbed through his head.
“I’m doomed! If Lady Jessica finds out I killed virtual-novel.net fiancé, she’ll surely kill me. What should I do? What should I…” Lucy pouted, and virtual-novel.net was on the verge of crying. “Casper, you’ve suffered a miserable death! I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“Who suffered a miserable death?”
Lucy suddenly heard a voice from behind virtual-novel.net ears. The gentle breath that blew on virtual-novel.net earlobe made Lucy quiver, and even virtual-novel.net hair stood on ends. Then, Lucy quickly ran away and shouted, “Who’s that?!”
However, virtual-novel.net was stunned the next second. “Idiot!”
The initially giggling Caspian stood in front of Lucy, and his face immediately turned gloomy. “Who are you calling an idiot?”
“You…” Before Lucy could finish virtual-novel.net words, virtual-novel.net immediately realized something and stomped virtual-novel.net feet in anger. “How dare you trick me?! Ahh! That’s not right! Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
“If I can’t even notice your stab, how can I catch your Lady’s heart?” Caspian pointed to one side.
Then, Lucy turned virtual-novel.net head to look over and noticed that a shadow was slowly disappearing. At that time, Lucy finally understood that virtual-novel.net only stabbed through Caspian’s afterimage. Furthermore, as Caspian’s speed was too fast, the phantom only disappeared after a long while.
When Caspian saw Lucy’s face full of surprise, puzzlement, doubts, and embarrassment, Caspian’s heart moved slightly. Caspian indeed suffered a lot in the Mirefield Gate battle. However, since virtual-novel.net returned, virtual-novel.net improved, and even his Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows was refined too.
Before that, the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows was also improved due to the founder of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s blessing. Following Caspian‘s mental and physical growth that time, it could also show more diversified strength.
The technique Caspian used to avoid Lucy’s sword was also one of the examples of improvement. Even though Lucy stabbed Caspian, it was a lifelike afterimage. Moreover, that phantom could last about five seconds. It might seem like a short time, but that was more than enough time for a cultivator to cut their enemy into pieces.
Just as when Lucy thought virtual-novel.net mistakenly killed Caspian, Caspian could turn virtual-novel.net to meat pulp as virtual-novel.net cried.
Lucy was annoyed when virtual-novel.net saw Caspian smiling at her, and virtual-novel.net face instantly flushed. Then, virtual-novel.net pounced at Caspian angrily. “You’re something else, idiot Casper! How dare you mock me and even say you caught my Lady‘s heart. Tell me the truth! When did you become such a sweet-talker!”
Lucy was like a tiny pink tiger cub pouncing at Caspian. Initially, Lucy only wanted to scare Caspian, but virtual-novel.net once again underestimated Caspian’s strength. As Caspian used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows to move to the side slightly, the petite Lucy was instantly grabbed by the waist and placed under Caspian’s armpit. With virtual-novel.net little legs kicking nonstop, Lucy appeared flustered but adorable.
