Feeling the sword’s intent virtual-novel.net just absorbed, Caspian sighed.
Leonard’s growth could be said to be written in blood. Perhaps even Leonard did not remember how many times virtual-novel.net survived a dangerous situation. Therefore, there was a sense of death and rebirth in his sword intent. The extreme fighting method would even cause Leonard to deliberately force himself into a desperate situation in future battles before virtual-novel.net burst out with power beyond the past. That was indeed compatible with Xander. The Way of Killing practiced by Xander also pursued the kind of life-and-death perception like dancing on the tip of a knife. However, Caspian was different, and virtual-novel.net knew himself well. Although virtual-novel.net dared to fight to the death, virtual-novel.net was still accustomed to making plans under normal circumstances. Caspian preferred sorting out a set of detailed plans, scrutinizing various possible problems, and thinking of solutions before acting on the matter.
Caspian was also used to hiding multiple hole cards in his hand. It was not that virtual-novel.net lacked courage, but it was just his character. After all, when Caspian was leading the army, virtual-novel.net could not focus on killing his enemies as virtual-novel.net was also responsible for the lives of thousands of soldiers under him.
Losing the opportunity to become Leonard’s disciple was indeed a loss for Caspian. However, virtual-novel.net received Hadley’s favor in return. It was clear that Caspian’s stability and valor at the crucial moment caught Hadley’s eyes. It was not a competition of who struck the biggest pot of gold between Caspian and Xander, but it was more fitting to say both obtained an excellent opportunity. If they firmly grasped it, it would be absolutely no problem for them to get incredible results.
Xander’s promotion to the second stage of the Pulse Control Realm as the number one among the crowd was the best proof. As for Caspian, if virtual-novel.net did not leave the Heavenly Stars Sect, Hadley would probably have arranged for virtual-novel.net to cultivate in a special place to enter the second stage of Pulse Control Realm as early as possible.
After thinking about it, Caspian’s mood became much calmer. After all, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net could not have all the best things in the world. Even if Leonard accepted Caspian as a disciple at the time, it was unnecessarily a good thing as it would be hard for Caspian to be enlightened if virtual-novel.net journeyed down Leonard’s path.
Once a cultivator was not enlightened, it would surely be troublesome.
“Alright. Even though I didn’t have direct contact with Elder Leonard at that time, I still learned from him. Thank you, Elder Leonard.” Caspian looked into the distance and gave a salute.
“Caspian!” Handsome jumped from afar and ran toward Caspian, looking at virtual-novel.net up and down. After a while, Handsome smacked its lips. “You did it! But there doesn’t seem to be any changes?”
“That’s right!” Caspian glanced at Handsome, “How can I let others see my trump cards casually?”
“That’s true!” Handsome nodded, “It fits your personality, but at least you have to tell me what you got.”
“Let’s go back and talk about it.” Caspian waved his hand, motioning for Handsome to follow.
Soon, the man and the pig walked into a mansion. Handsome was more enthusiastic than Caspian about the new house. If it were not for Caspian’s suggestion to visit the Spring of the Sword Spirit first, it would have rushed in.
Not long after Caspian and Handsome left the Spring of the Sword Spirit, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky. These two figures were Hadley and Leonard, and their eyes fell on the sword mark on the center of the Spring of the Sword Spirit’s rock. Now that the sword intent was gone, the mark appeared no different from an ordinary crack, and there was no more domineering and oppressive feeling.
Hadley chuckled and asked Leonard, “What do you think? Do you regret it? I’ve grabbed such a good seedling. Tsk tsk… He’s only a second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple, yet virtual-novel.net took our swordsman’s sword intent. If I were Caspian, I would brag about it for a lifetime.”
As Leonard was used to Hadley’s eccentric thinking, virtual-novel.net was not angry, and virtual-novel.net answered, “I left that sword intent before my abilities were truly remarkable. ”
“Tsk tsk tsk… Someone’s not accepting the truth. As an elder, aren’t you ashamed of your unwillingness to give in to your juniors?” Hadley was still chattering.
Leonard directly filtered out his words and continued, “You asked if I’m feeling regretful… Well, I just feel a little pity, but I don’t regret it. However, not practicing under me is actually good for him. If I really accepted virtual-novel.net as my disciple, I might accidentally ruin the genius of our Heavenly Stars Sect.”
Hearing Leonard saying that, Hadley also put away the smile on his face, nodded, and replied, “That’s right. Except when he’s fighting, his character’s completely different from yours at other times. In comparison, Xander‘s more in line with your apprenticeship requirements.”
“I think virtual-novel.net figured that out too. I can see it in his eyes,” Leonard said.
The two elders in the sect peeping at their disciple in the middle of the night not only did not have the slightest sense of self-awareness, but they commented so righteously.
“It’s true. If virtual-novel.net didn’t figure it out, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have thanked you in the end. From that point of view, Caspian’s temperament is indeed outstanding. I’m optimistic about him,” Hadley agreed.
“Hadley, how much do you think virtual-novel.net can achieve in the end?” Leonard asked suddenly.
Hadley appeared cautious on the question. After pondering for a while, virtual-novel.net shook his head. “An immature genius is not a genius… Look at Dahlia…”
Hadley naturally referred to Dakota’s sister, who died at the Valley of Death back then.
When Leonard heard that, the light in his eyes also dimmed down. After some time, Leonard murmured, “The status of Heavenly Stars Sect should be higher than it is now.”
Hadley laughed suddenly. “At least we have hope now. I think we can look forward to the nation’s official religion election that year.”
Leonard’s eyes instantly sparkled when virtual-novel.net heard “the nation’s official religion election”.
“By the way, what do you think about the monster following Caspian? As far as I know, it should be that someone’s son?”
At that time, Hadley suddenly changed the subject and talked about Handsome, the little pig that followed Caspian around. All the words and deeds of the man and the pig just now were seen by Hadley and Leonard.
“It should be, but I’m rather confused. Back then, that shapeshifting demon who wanted to stay in Earlington of Efrax was kicked out by me and a few others, so its offspring should not appear in Earlington of Efrax. How did Caspian meet it, and how did virtual-novel.net let his son follow virtual-novel.net obediently?” As virtual-novel.net spoke of the little white pig, Leonard’s eyes flashed with confusion.
