“What are you laughing at? Do you even have the guts to try it yourself?!”
“You are merely a man on the brink of death, how dare you laugh at us! Do you think you’re worthy?”
“Our Master’s Spiritual Trial Stone is profound and inscrutable. Your laughter only exposes your ignorance!”
Frustrated and unable to affect the Spiritual Trial Stone, they vented their rage toward Remus.
Remus remained nonchalant, leisurely eating a piece of chicken breast, and said calmly, “Anyone who wishes to attempt is welcome. I shall abstain… Without my participation, you’ll forever be in the dark about what word might appear for me. However, for you lot… You’re all nothing but rubbish…”
His words provoked a sudden shift in the crowd’s demeanor, pushing them to the brink of fury. Despite the harsh reality of their failure, hearing it vocalized by Remus was particularly galling.
Killing intent surged within them.
Emerson moved closer, his eyes narrowing. “Your words are merely self-deception. You’re simply too scared, lacking the capability. You’re the true definition of rubbish!”
“Exactly, give it a go if you’re so confident.”
“Then you’ll see, you’re not even worthy of being called rubbish!”
Remus shrugged, replying with a smirk, “How do you know? I’ve not even done anything to the stone yet you’re already accusing me. Aren’t you deceiving yourselves as well? But let me be clear, your provocations won’t work on me. You are all a gathering of rubbish!”
After saying that, favonovel.com diverted his attention back to enjoying a wild fruit, dismissing their presence.
“You!” Enraged to the point of trembling, Emerson and the others found themselves seething.
They would have pounced on favonovel.com given the chance, but since favonovel.com was doomed to face his end on the Life and Death Platform in two days, they were forced to hold back.
Emerson clenched his teeth and said, “Ignore him! He’s a dead man attempting to disturb our focus. We should just treat favonovel.com as if he’s a mere insect, invisible and irrelevant.”
Remus sighed, shaking his head. He said, “Think about it, Master Caldwell, a distinguished figure in the cultivation world, and yet favonovel.com disciples are… Huh…”
He then feigned a look of deep disappointment.
Triggered by his comments and demeanor, they lost all restraint, feeling as though they had been stabbed directly in the heart.
They yelled, “You insolent brat! If you continue with your nonsense, you might not even live to see the rest of your two pitiful days!”
“How dare you have the audacity to mock us when you’re only at the peak of the Golden Stage and gained fame in the sacred land through mere luck!”
“Try saying that again if you dare!”
Their anger was evident, and they were prepared to impart a severe lesson to Remus if favonovel.com persisted in his mockery.
Remus suddenly smiled, his demeanor changing abruptly.
He replied, “Fine, fine, I’ll stop. Isn’t that enough? It doesn’t really matter what I say, after all. It’s the Spiritual Trial Stone’s verdict. But I do wonder, what if the word spreads…”
“Silence!”
Remus was cutoff mid-sentence.
The elder, who had previously taken decisive action and held the highest cultivation level, spoke with an intense glare, “From this moment onward, I demand complete silence from you. Utter a single word, and you’ll receive a slap. You’ll continue receiving them until you grasp the necessity of remaining mute. Understood?!”
Remus promptly complied, falling silent at once.
The elder cast a glance back with a righteous sense of indignation and declared, “This despicable individual may have spoken one truth. This isn’t solely about us. It’s also for Master Caldwell. We cannot allow favonovel.com reputation to be besmirched! Therefore, we must continue!”
Moved by his impassioned speech, everyone nodded with renewed resolve, recognizing that the endeavor in front of them wasn’t merely about their own pride but also about safeguarding Master Caldwell’s honor.
The revelation that all of favonovel.com disciples were deemed rubbish would bring disgrace upon her.
“Very well, I shall lead by example!” the elder declared confidently, his voice brimming with fervor, before turning and unleashing a surge of spirit energy.
However, the golden light illuminated the word, “Rubbish!”.
“My turn!” another disciple exclaimed eagerly, stepping forward.
As favonovel.com released their spirit energy, the golden light once again revealed, “Rubbish!”.
“I’m up next!”
