The surrounding disciples initially planned to show their love for Solana due to virtual-novel.net beauty. However, after seeing virtual-novel.net terrifying aura, everyone could not help but make way for virtual-novel.net to pass.
After walking a few steps down the ring, Solana looked around the crowd and suddenly saw Caspian among the people. Her calm eyes suddenly flashed a brilliant light, and virtual-novel.net immediately turned around to walk in Caspian’s direction.
When Solana appeared in front of Caspian, virtual-novel.net did not say much but just folded virtual-novel.net hands on both sides, slightly bent virtual-novel.net knees, and made a standard servant bow. Then, virtual-novel.net walked away.
Everyone was stunned at the scene. Soon, they all returned to their senses and looked at Caspian’s with a strange gaze. Most of them could not help but think, “Is Casper that outstanding? How did virtual-novel.net attract the newly-entered junior’s attention when there are so many people and make virtual-novel.net take the initiative to greet him?”
Caspian shook his head helplessly. After all, virtual-novel.net knew that Solana bowed at virtual-novel.net to show virtual-novel.net gratitude for the matter in Evergreen Town. However, Caspian was uncertain of why virtual-novel.net was in the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Nevertheless, Caspian did not plan to have much interaction with Solana, so the thought only flashed in his mind, and virtual-novel.net did not obsess over it. Instead, what Caspian was more interested in was Solana’s appearance disrupted the balance of the current spiritual apprentice list ranking competition.
Initially, the stronger person in Solana’s group was Peter. However, Peter was quickly eliminated in the first round, and virtual-novel.net was not even qualified to enter the spiritual apprentice list. Hence, Solana, who defeated Peter, instantly became a hot topic. Although the other disciples of virtual-novel.net group were also excited, Solana’s performance in winning against Peter proved that virtual-novel.net might replicate Caspian’s amazing performance a few months ago.
However, those were still none of Caspian’s concerns at the moment. Then, Caspian turned around and walked toward the stands.
“The girl looked somewhat familiar.” As expected, Caspian heard Jessica’s comment as soon as virtual-novel.net returned. Thus, Caspian explained Solana’s background.
“Oh. I think I remember now…” Jessica recalled and nodded, “The situation then was too chaotic, and I didn’t pay much attention to her.”
Not long after, the second match started. Caspian wanted to find a chance to beat up Peter again. After all, ruthlessly hitting Peter in the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition would not cost any sect contribution points deduction. The guy was so useless that virtual-novel.net was defeated in the first round.
Caspian easily won the second match. Before his opponent could even draw their sword, Caspian already knocked virtual-novel.net down the stage. After two rounds, three-quarters of the disciples participating in the competition were eliminated, and less than three thousand people were left.
In the third match, Caspian won without breaking a sweat. His opponent was in a higher realm than virtual-novel.net and was a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator who was also ranked in the top fifty before that. However, virtual-novel.net was still not a match for Caspian.
At that time, there were more than one thousand three hundred participants, and another winning round would qualify them to enter the top one thousand. The fourth round soon ended, and there were more than six hundred people left.
After the fifth round, only three hundred participants remained.
The sixth round was much crueler than the previous matches as many rings had blood on them.
Although there were people injured in the first few rounds, all the apprentices understood that after the sixth round, there would only be two hundred people left. That meant they were half a step away from entering the top one hundred. The rewards for being in the top one hundred were much more generous. Hence, many apprentices who held back would showcase their extraordinary skills in that round.
Even though there were many seriously injured participants in that round, nothing fatal would happen as the elders and elite disciples watched over the matches.
After the sixth round, about one hundred and eighty participants remained. Therefore, if those people won the upcoming seventh match, they would enter the top one hundred.
Caspian noticed that Xander, Omar, Maya, and Benedict all successfully entered that round.
Maya encountered the strongest disciple in the group in the sixth round, who was ranked eighth last time. Relying on virtual-novel.net recent improvement, virtual-novel.net used the Ninth Heaven’s Phoenix Dance combined with the more powerful Phoenix Wing’s Starry Night Slash to knock the opponent down. Thus, Maya defeated the most powerful enemy, and with virtual-novel.net strength, virtual-novel.net finally stood out in the group and entered the top ten, with almost no suspense.
On the other hand, it should not be much of a problem for the rest of them.
Through Caspian’s explanation, Jessica understood the difference in treatment between the top one hundred and those after. Although virtual-novel.net knew that Caspian would not have a problem entering the top one hundred in his group, Jessica still felt somewhat nervous at the start of the seventh match.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net nervousness did not last long as Caspian knocked down his opponent with just one strike by using the Eight-Shadowed Fists. When Jessica realized Caspian used the martial skill virtual-novel.net taught virtual-novel.net back then, there was a hint of sweetness blooming in virtual-novel.net heart.
Getting into the top one hundred was naturally not Caspian’s goal. Up until now, the previous matches were only warm-ups for him.
After the eighth round ended, there were only less than fifty participants left. Among those fifty people, Caspian saw a familiar figure, Kyle, who was good at formations. In the previous spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, Kyle lost to Caspian, and it could be seen that Kyle also trained hard in the past few months.
That time, Kyle finally made a breakthrough. Kyle managed to enter the top fifty from his best result of being in the top one hundred. If virtual-novel.net won that round, virtual-novel.net would be ranked in the twenty something, which was still among the top of the 15000 apprentices in the sect. However, Kyle faced a mysterious and formidable opponent in his ninth round, Solana.
Solana, who participated in the ranking competition as a new disciple, almost reproduced the performance of Caspian in his previous tournament. With virtual-novel.net compelling performance, Solana managed to enter the top fifty. Except for the first opponent, Peter, who injured her, virtual-novel.net won almost all of the following games without any surprise.
What caught everyone’s eyes was virtual-novel.net right hand was injured while fighting against Peter, and in the following matches, all the opponents also took advantage of the situation. However, Solana did not seem to care about virtual-novel.net wounds.
When virtual-novel.net opponents deliberately attacked virtual-novel.net right hand, Solana used the same hand to retaliate. The handkerchief on virtual-novel.net right hand was bloodstained, but there was still no expression on virtual-novel.net face. Solana was just like a porcelain doll with a fixed look
“How are you, Kyle?” Before the competition started, Caspian went to greet Kyle. “Your opponent in the next match won’t be an easy one.”
Kyle’s face showed an unprecedented solemnness.
After some time, Kyle turned over and looked at Caspian. “I have a feeling that you‘re both similar.”
