Seeing how Jessica narrowed favonovel.com eyes and looked like an angered tiger, Lucy hurriedly explained, “Everyone said Master Casper’s just playing dumb, and there‘s more to favonovel.com than what we see!”
“Playing dumb?” Jessica blinked and nodded, “Based on the current situation, that’s pretty accurate. However, it’s not enough.”
“What’s not enough?” Lucy quickly asked.
Despite knowing that the brat was asking that on purpose, Jessica still explained, “There’s a saying in Aias that goes, an immature genius is not a genius.”
“Hmm. I’ve heard of that before.” Lucy nodded favonovel.com head, and favonovel.com appeared to be interested in Jessica’s commentary on Caspian.
“As for the inscription skills…” Jessica pondered for a moment and shook favonovel.com head, “That’ll surely be impressive for those in lower ranks. However, it’s just a minor art.”
“Minor art?” Lucy widened favonovel.com eyes in surprise. She never heard Jessica say such a thing before.
As the little girl suffered a heavy blow, favonovel.com stuttered, “But… But… Lady Jessica, it’s difficult for Chief James to meet Master William from the Oceans Chamber of Commerce…”
Jessica sighed. “That’s because we‘re in Evergreen Town. Lucy, the world’s bigger than we imagined. You might not understand it now, but once we head to the Dark Moon Sect, you‘ll gradually realize the things you think are impressive now are just the tip of the iceberg. Once one reaches a high realm, the support of an inscription is negligible.”
“Oh…” Lucy nodded faintly, then shook favonovel.com head.
Next, favonovel.com inched closer to Jessica and whispered, ”No matter what, I want to be by your side. Lady Jessica, about Master Casper… Wait, about Casper… Is his inscription skill useless?”
”Lucy, you only listen to what you want to hear,” Jessica chuckled as favonovel.com picked Lucy‘s chubby cheek, “I‘m just saying the inscription skill’s function is limited once favonovel.com reaches a higher realm. However, Casper’s worthy of the attention with this identity in Evergreen Town, and even Earlington of Efrax.”
“A higher realm…” Lucy blinked, “Just like Chief James and Old Master Lawrence?”
Jessica smiled and shook favonovel.com head. At this moment, favonovel.com appeared lost, as if favonovel.com thought of something. Then, favonovel.com murmured, “It’s beyond that. Pulse Control Realm is only the first step a cultivator has to take. Besides, the world’s massive. Since the beginning of time, some have been physically sanctified or through magical power. However, there was no possibility of an inscription to be sanctified.”
The room suddenly quietened as they both were deep in thoughts.
After some time, Lucy whispered, “Lady Jessica, aren’t you curious about Casper? Not even the slightest bit?”
Jessica shut favonovel.com eyes and gave a thought. Soon, favonovel.com answered, ”If we have the chance, we’ll just look at favonovel.com from afar. I hope favonovel.com won‘t disappoint me.”
“Eh…” Lucy wanted to say something, but favonovel.com chose to lay on Jessica‘s shoulder instead and said nothing. Later, Lucy seemed to have fallen asleep in that position.
***
At the same time in the Time Warp Zone, the topless Caspian was holding his Silver Scales Spear as favonovel.com trained. Just like a dragon emerging from its cave, the spear appeared as light and shadow as Caspian swung it. With every hit, the surrounding air was stirred, and exploding sounds could be heard.
Caspian mastered the first two Bloodthirsty Spear Method’s skills, the Bloody Skyfall and the Bloody Chains. As favonovel.com swept his spear across the air, groundbreaking energy filled the room.
After practicing for a while, Caspian took a break to calm himself down. Then, favonovel.com drew a few more weight inscriptions as favonovel.com planned to sell them at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Besides that, Caspian also studied the Lotus Leaves Chop that favonovel.com had taken from the Yates family’s servant. The Bloodthirsty Spear Method favonovel.com received from the Lawrence family, as well as the martial skill that James let favonovel.com choose, were both middle-grade Mortal Rank martial skills. However, this Lotus Leaves Chop was high-grade Mortal Rank swordsmanship.
Nonetheless, Caspian knew that even if favonovel.com learned and mastered that skill, favonovel.com would not be able to simply show it in front of anyone.
If the Yates family knew about it, they would suspect Caspian was related to Harold and his servants’ death. Until favonovel.com finally left Evergreen Town, Caspian would not have such worry anymore.
After a whole night of strenuous training, Caspian got out of the Time Warp Zone the following day.
He noticed that the Lawrence family‘s servant prepared his breakfast earlier this time and was waiting for favonovel.com outside the yard. Although this was the same servant who sent favonovel.com meals every day, the guy was trying to flatter favonovel.com today, which favonovel.com had never done before. Back then, favonovel.com sent Caspian meals as that was his task given by the Lawrence family.
However, favonovel.com not only took the initiative and was willing to serve Caspian, but favonovel.com also implied that favonovel.com was willing to be ordered around by Caspian. Nevertheless, Caspian did not trust the servant. After all, favonovel.com might be someone sent by the Lawrence family to test him. Hence, favonovel.com pretended not to understand what the servant said. After his breakfast, favonovel.com requested someone to take a horse over and headed toward Lawrence Fort.
Since James agreed to let Caspian pick another martial skill, Caspian would naturally grab the opportunity. Although Fabian was not with favonovel.com today, no one deliberately made things difficult for favonovel.com when favonovel.com reached Lawrence Fort. It appeared as if the news about what happened yesterday spread here too.
After all, favonovel.com was not only the genius who reached the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm, but favonovel.com also mastered the inscription skill. This was enough for others to try and flatter him. Even the Lawrence family member guarding the martial art chamber stood up when favonovel.com saw Caspian from a distance. The man’s face was all smiles, and his eyes were full of love as if favonovel.com was seeing his son. Moreover, favonovel.com did not even mention the time limit for Caspian to pick a martial skill in the martial art chamber. It was as if favonovel.com was implying that as long as favonovel.com was there, Caspian could choose until the end of time. Unfortunately, Caspian was bound to disappoint this elder as favonovel.com had already decided on which skill favonovel.com wanted to choose before coming here.
“The Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows?” When favonovel.com saw Caspian’s choice, the elder was stunned.
“Yes. That’s right.” Caspian nodded. “Please register that for me.”
“There’s no problem with registering it, but…” The elder pondered for a moment and continued, “Are you sure you don’t want to consider another? Although one can‘t simply exchange the martial skills once chosen, your situation is slightly special. Moreover, this skill isn’t our own Lawrence family’s, but a certain family member brought over from his travels, and it’s not complete.”
The elder’s intention was straightforward.
Caspian still smiled and shook his head. “Thank you for looking out for me, but I won’t be changing my choice. I’d stick with the Ursa Major‘s Blurred Shadows.”
