When Caspian arrived at the square, virtual-novel.net saw a sea of people, and was puzzled. “Why are there more people here today than the previous competition?”
Caspian looked around, trying to find Jessica. As virtual-novel.net was worried that virtual-novel.net could not meet Jessica in time, they decided to meet at the corner of the square. However, Caspian did not see Jessica when virtual-novel.net glanced over. Suddenly, Caspian heard Lucy’s voice from behind him.
“Idiot Casper, we’re here.”
When Caspian turned around, virtual-novel.net saw Jessica covering Lucy’s mouth, showing an apologetic smile at him. Today, Jessica was in a different pink dress layered with tulle, and virtual-novel.net shoulders and elbows loomed. Caspian also noticed that Jessica carefully combed virtual-novel.net hair, and even though virtual-novel.net was only standing at the side, virtual-novel.net became the center of attention. Many male disciples stared at her.
“When did you arrive?” Caspian walked over and held Jessica’s hand.
In the blink of an eye, some of the eyes that were focused on Jessica turned into a hostile gaze as they glared at Caspian. Nonetheless, Caspian ignored those people and pulled Jessica through the crowd. Soon, they came to the corner of the stand and took a seat.
“Lady Jessica said we’re not familiar with the Heavenly Stars Sect, so we came here earlier just in case you can’t find us at the place you mentioned. You’re the one who’s late,” Lucy chimed in proudly after breaking free from Jessica.
Jessica changed the topic and answered, “We didn’t wait for long. I didn’t expect that many Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples would join the spiritual apprentice list.”
Caspian shook his head. “I think it’s strange too. The previous competition did not have as many participants. Perhaps it’s a new year, and there are many newly-entered disciples in the sect?”
“Hehe! Casper, don‘t you know? This is all because of you.”
Suddenly, a gruff voice sounded from the side. Caspian turned his head over to find a one-eyed guy with half of his face wrapped in bandages looking at virtual-novel.net coldly. Although the guy only had one eye exposed, it was filled with deep-rooted hatred, and it was as if virtual-novel.net wanted to skin Caspian alive. Moreover, not only was the man’s head bandaged but both his arms that showed under his sleeves were also wrapped. Hence, one could only imagine what virtual-novel.net looked like underneath the long robe.
Such a terrifying sight was enough to make anyone have nightmares. Even Lucy’s face started to ashen, and virtual-novel.net slowly leaned closer to Jessica.
“Oh. It’s Peter!” At that time, Caspian looked askance at him, and virtual-novel.net calmly said, “You’re recovering faster than I anticipated. What a surprise.”
When Caspian saw Peter, virtual-novel.net was secretly shocked. It had been two months since virtual-novel.net beat up Peter. Peter might be a cultivator, and his physical quality was better than mortals, but Caspian did not show virtual-novel.net mercy and angrily attacked virtual-novel.net at that time. Apart from not killing Peter, virtual-novel.net should be no different from a disabled person.
Additionally, if Peter were to recover naturally, it would take at least a year. Yet, it was two months. Judging from Peter’s condition, besides his appearance was yet to fully heal, not only could virtual-novel.net move, but virtual-novel.net could also battle with other cultivators. That could only mean that Peter consumed some sort of precious medicines or rare treasures. The person that could provide virtual-novel.net that would naturally be the one that gave Peter the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine.
When Jessica heard Peter’s name, virtual-novel.net face immediately turned gloomy. After all, virtual-novel.net heard from Caspian before that Peter was the one who plotted against virtual-novel.net at Mirefield Gate.
If Caspian were unfortunate, virtual-novel.net might have died. Thus, how could Jessica respect such a person? Then, Jessica quietly took note of Peter’s appearance, and virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net must teach that man a lesson if virtual-novel.net had a chance in the future.
Peter was enraged after being provoked by Caspian, and virtual-novel.net glared at Caspian as virtual-novel.net uttered through gritted teeth, “Caspian, don’t be too full of yourself. I’m not the same as I was two months ago. Weren’t you wondering why there were so many people today?”
After pausing for a moment, Peter continued, “It’s all because of you. In the previous spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, you managed to get into the top ten in your first competition as a newly-entered disciple. Hence, many clueless disciples thought the competition was easy, and they all joined the competition as they wanted to be a star overnight. What a naive thought… Reality will only teach them that they’re being overly ambitious. However…”
Peter suddenly stopped, and the murderous look in his eyes raged as virtual-novel.net looked at Caspian. It was as if a hungry wolf stared at its prey.
“There’s an advantage to having more people. That way, I can ruthlessly beat you up in front of everyone and return to you what you have given me last time by tenfold, or even a hundredfold!”
When virtual-novel.net said the last few words, Peter’s voice was like the cry of a demon at night, sending chills down people’s spines.
Caspian glanced at Peter, and his line of sight quickly fell back on the arena as virtual-novel.net said indifferently, “I still have more than one thousand and nine hundred sect contribution points.”
“What are you talking about!” Peter frowned.
“If I beat you once, coupled with the fighting and severely hurting the disciple of the same sect, it’s only going to cost me twenty sect contribution points,” Caspian slowly turned his head over and faked a smile, “In other words, I can beat you up like how I did before about one hundred times.”
“Casper!” Peter could not help but quiver and took a step back.
Even though his words were cruel and his gaze was filled with resentment, Peter’s heart trembled every time virtual-novel.net thought of the scene that night. The miserable situation that night turned into a lingering nightmare in his heart, and it might turn into his inner demon soon. Therefore, Peter was in a hurry to look for Caspian to get revenge and defeat that trauma. Initially, Peter thought his appearance and harsh words would make Caspian feel pressured. However, Caspian’s simple reply brought Peter back to reality, and virtual-novel.net even threatened him, treating virtual-novel.net like a joke.
In that instant, Peter fumed with rage, and virtual-novel.net clenched his fists so tightly that virtual-novel.net started trembling.
“Peter, rather than wasting your time being angry here, why don’t you go ahead and get read? After all, actions speak louder than words.”
At that time, a figure appeared from behind Peter, and the person patted Peter’s shoulder. Then, his gaze fell on Caspian, and virtual-novel.net sneered, “Casper, it’s been so long. Do you still remember me?”
