That news was no less than a huge meteorite burning with raging flames, suddenly smashing into the calm lake. In that instant, the Heavenly Stars Sect went into an uproar, and almost everyone talked about that for that few days. Even those unaware of “Casper Montgomery” before knew virtual-novel.net now, and the reason was straightforward, virtual-novel.net was the handler’s disciple.
On the surface, Caspian might not appear as if virtual-novel.net had any power, but his identity alone was enough.
Whether they were the disciples or elders of the Heavenly Stars Sect, they immediately showed different reactions when they heard the news. Some were surprised, some were envious, some sneered, some were indifferent. In short, Caspian was not only famous among the apprentices and outer disciples of Heavenly Stars Sect at that time, but the higher-level inner disciples, elite disciples, and even core disciples and true disciples have all heard of him. Nonetheless, Caspian did not take everyone’s reaction to heart at all.
What cultivators really relied on was not their identity but their strength. After all, Hadley chose Caspian because of his strength and potential at that stage. Therefore, Caspian did not show himself in public but continued to practice in a low-key manner, without even stepping out of the door.
***
Clank!
An exquisite teacup shattered on the ground, and the spiritual tea splashed everywhere. After being splashed by the water, Asher’s knee went limp, and virtual-novel.net fell to the ground. His head and body were still wrapped by thick layers of bandages, and his left hand was also fixed to his chest with splints and dressings, which made virtual-novel.net look extremely miserable.
Not far in front of Asher, Adrian appeared furious, and his facial features were twisted as virtual-novel.net clenched his fists, making crackling sounds. He was also the one who smashed the teacup ruthlessly just now.
In that instant, the atmosphere in the room was suppressed to the extreme, as if a whirlwind gathered on the ground. The neatly paved floor swayed slightly, and the tables and chairs on the ground also bumped up and down as if they were in a storm.
Adrian, who was in the center of the storm, obviously did not realize that virtual-novel.net lost so much control of himself as his teeth still rattled, and his eyes were full of anger and resentment.
Asher was horrified by the state of his brother. He dressed himself to appear slightly tragic today to report the news that Caspian was accepted as Hadley’s disciple. Originally, virtual-novel.net wanted to arouse Adrian’s anger toward Caspian. In the best case, Adrian would reward himself with some cultivation resources. However, it was clear that Asher grossly underestimated Adrian’s hatred for Caspian. The moment Adrian heard the news, Asher was blasted into the air and fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, the storm indoor was still condensing, and the floor under Adrian’s feet began to shatter with a clattering sound, and cobweb-like cracks spread out toward the surroundings.
“Casper, Casper, Casper!” Adrian uttered through gritted teeth. With every word virtual-novel.net said, the hatred in his heart increased by another level.
Adrian remembered that virtual-novel.net did not care about the name at the very beginning as virtual-novel.net only heard it once from Asher, and it was not the first time that virtual-novel.net heard the names of other disciples from Asher. After all, Asher was a well-known troublemaker among the outer disciples. The arrogant and domineering Asher would come and beg for help with a bitter expression every time virtual-novel.net encountered a disciple virtual-novel.net could not deal with. Moreover, the disciple was only an apprentice, and Adrian could not care less as virtual-novel.net could simply defeat the person with just a finger. Adrian always thought virtual-novel.net was the most talented disciple the Heavenly Stars Sect had in the recent hundreds of years.
Adrian realized that things did not seem to be what virtual-novel.net thought because the guy called Casper was much more tenacious than virtual-novel.net thought. Even his ascension speed somewhat terrified Adrian. The other party started cultivating later than him, but his promotion speed was obviously faster! In less than three short years, the guy was actually promoted from an apprentice to an outer disciple, and his realm rose from the first-stage Pulse Control Realm to the mid-level second -stage Pulse Control Realm! As for Adrian, virtual-novel.net actually suffered losses in the person’s hands!
Asher was the highly anticipated genius, but in the end, virtual-novel.net suffered at the hands of a bug that virtual-novel.net did not care about in the past! What made Adrian even more unwilling to accept the truth was that due to his attempt to suppress Caspian, virtual-novel.net almost lost the chance to be accepted by Frankie. After the matter was finalized, Adrian finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Asher heard the news that Caspian was actually accepted as Hadley’s personal disciple! It was as if Adrian racked his brain to please his teacher, only to get a silver ingot. Not only that, virtual-novel.net almost lost the silver ingot because of Caspian! Nevertheless, once Adrian recovered from his fear and restrained his words and deeds like walking on thin ice, finally getting his silver ingot, virtual-novel.net learned that Caspian quietly got a box of gold!
At that moment, Adrian even thought of crushing the piece of silver in his hand and throwing it away!
Crackle and rattle!
Under the heavy pressure, not only was the ground shattering but even the tables, chairs, and benches in the house began to crack and even exploded directly.
Asher was so scared that virtual-novel.net turned as pale as a paper. He never thought that Adrian’s reaction to the matter would be so huge, and virtual-novel.net never expected that Adrian’s strength was far beyond his imagination.
Woo woo woo!
In a short while, there was even the sound of a gust of wind blowing in the room. Asher felt virtual-novel.net lost control of his body, and virtual-novel.net was about to be blown up and torn to pieces by the strong wind.
“Adrian, Adrian!” Asher was scared out of his wits, shouting desperately. He came just to report the news about Caspian, not to seek his death!
Asher kept shouting, finally calling Adrian back to his senses. Then, Adrian’s eyes flashed slightly, and the whirlwind in the room stopped instantly. Asher screamed and fell, smashing onto the already crumbling table below him.
“Asher, have you been busy in Heavenly Stars Sect recently?” Adrian said suddenly, with a half-smiling look on his face.
“I, I…” Asher was frightened, not knowing how to answer. Then, virtual-novel.net hesitated, saying, “It’s all… All depending on your orders, Adrian.”
“If that’s the case, help me with one thing.” Adrian took a deep breath, walked over to Asher with an amicable manner, leaned down, and put his face in front of Asher.
Although Adrian seemed to be smiling, Asher trembled uncontrollably from the fear, as if virtual-novel.net fell into an ice cellar.
“Asher, I think I can only be at ease if you do this,” Adrian said.
