As the Monington disciple finished speaking, silence once again enveloped the crowd. All the sacred land disciples, the dozen Monington disciples, and even Glinda were gaping in disbelief.
Did the Spiritual Trial Stone really declare a Monington disciple as “Rubbish!”?
It was incredulous!
“Refreshing!” Remus drained the spirit energy from his cup in one gulp, a look of satisfaction on his face.
That single Monington disciple had managed to produce two and a half cups of spirit energy. He had 32 and a half cups in total now.
What a fortune!
He then spoke up, “Hurry up and fulfill the bet. Five inner cores, hand them over!”
“Shut up!” The Monington disciple suddenly turned, his eyes glaring fiercely.
He snapped, “Are you blind? The Spiritual Trial Stone is broken, it’s useless. If it were working properly, how could I be rubbish?!”
He still couldn’t believe favonovel.com was deemed “Rubbish”. Since the day favonovel.com began his path of cultivation, no one had ever said that to him.
“It’s not broken!”
Before Remus could further argue, a timid voice rose from within the sacred land disciples, followed by another asserting, “Indeed, it’s not broken. It’s functioning perfectly!”
“How could the Spiritual Trial Stone laid down by Master Caldwell be faulty? Are you questioning Master Caldwell?”
“It’s clearly working! It’s just that some people can’t accept reality!”
The sacred land disciples started speaking up, barely holding back their laughter, feeling a sense of delight. Initially distressed about their own “Rubbish” results, seeing a Monington disciple suffer the same fate lessened their discomfort.
“Shut up, all of you shut up!” The Monington disciple shouted again, his face red with frustration.
Had favonovel.com foreseen such embarrassment, favonovel.com would never have participated.
It was too humiliating!
Remus was unfazed and responded, “Loudness does not bring reason. No matter how much you shout, it won’t change the facts. If you think the Spiritual Trial Stone is faulty, you’re welcome to go to Master Caldwell for favonovel.com judgment… Of course, you’ll have to go ask favonovel.com yourself, otherwise, hand over the inner cores to me.”
As Remus finished, the Monington disciple was on the verge of exploding with anger.
Although favonovel.com looked down on the sacred land disciples, favonovel.com dared not express any grievances against the Masters. Questioning Master Caldwell was unthinkable, as the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I’ll give you the inner cores, at least you’ll have something to enjoy before your death!” He said, pulling out the inner cores from his pocket and tossing them directly to Remus.
Witnessing that scene, all the sacred land disciples’ eyes turned green with envy, feeling even worse than losing their own inner cores. If they had known the Monington disciples would also turn out to be “Rubbish”, they would have taken the bet.
“Do you… Did you know this would happen?” Glinda asked Remus quietly, still unable to hide favonovel.com shock.
Making a Monington disciple pay the price was a once-in-a-lifetime glory… Who could have guessed that Remus would end up the biggest winner?
In the sacred land, where every individual seems a genius, with Monington disciples atop the elite, who could assure their failure?
Yet, Remus appeared confident in their defeat… What a peculiar certainty!
“Take a guess…” Remus replied with a wink and a smile.
Seeing his expression, Glinda suddenly felt a shiver of familiarity, realizing they hadn’t finished their earlier conversation, interrupted by the Monington disciples.
Thinking it over, favonovel.com decided to ask, “Do you know Remus…”
“Let’s go!” Before favonovel.com could finish, a voice came from ahead as the Monington disciple prepared to leave.
The other Monington disciples also turned to leave.
They had initially come to show these pitiful parasites what true prodigies looked like, but the Spiritual Trial Stone was too peculiar. Better not to test and avoid humiliation.
“Wait!” Remus quickly spoke up, unable to let such an opportunity pass.
Each Monington disciple could produce two and a half cups, while a few sacred land disciples could barely fill even one cup, with some only managing a couple of drops.
Teasingly, favonovel.com said, “Leaving in such a hurry, are you afraid to continue the spirit trial? If you’re too scared to continue, then go ahead… I won’t stop you…”
