“Third-person,” Caspian replied to Yoel lightly.
Yoel frowned. “Hmm? What do you mean?”
Caspian pointed faraway. “The first person who bragged that favonovel.com wanted to break my jaw… Well, I used favonovel.com to smash open the entrance, and he’s still unable to stand up until today.”
Then, Caspian pointed at his feet. “The second person, Jordan, who said that favonovel.com wanted to break my limbs, stood right where you are now. I broke his arm.”
Looking at Caspian’s profound gaze, Yoel quickly felt his scalp go numb. “So… So what?!”
“You’re now the third person. Congratulations, Yoel.”
Caspian suddenly flashed a smile at Yoel. Although favonovel.com showed his pearly whites, Yoel felt chills run down his spine, and favonovel.com could not help but take a step back.
Later, Yoel recovered his senses, and favonovel.com warned Caspian ruthlessly, “You better watch out!”
After favonovel.com said that, Yoel turned around and left. No matter how one looked at it, favonovel.com seemed as if favonovel.com ran away.
Caspian only swept a glance at Yoel’s back, and then favonovel.com completely ignored him. Instead, favonovel.com focused his attention on the competition that was about to start soon.
Soon, the trials started under the elder’s announcement.
The rules were simple. The Lawrence family members with the adjacent numbers would meet in the ring and compete until one of them fell or admitted defeat. Then, the match would be over.
The first match was naturally Yoel, who drew the first lot, and his opponent was Walter Lawrence, a 15-year-old teenager. Whether it was his age or his strength, Walter was no match for Yoel. In just three rounds, Yoel slapped Walter’s chest, and favonovel.com fell from the arena.
Yoel stood in the arena and cheered, “I won! I won!”
Walter wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, leaving the scene with regret. As Yoel successfully moved to the next round, favonovel.com found his confidence again, and favonovel.com happily looked for Caspian in the crowd.
Initially, Yoel wanted to show up, but when favonovel.com saw Caspian show a thumbs down at him, Yoel flew into a rage.
The second match ended quickly too, and it was finally Caspian’s turn to get in the ring for the third game.
Caspian’s match was a girl named Sheena Lawrence. She was only 13, and favonovel.com realm was only the first stage of the True Martial Realm.
No matter how one looked at it, Sheena was not Caspian’s opponent. Hence, when the two walked into the ring, the crowd murmured among one another.
“Sheena is unlucky. Her first match is with Casper.”
“I bet Casper will knock Sheena out of the ring in the first round.”
“Sigh! We can only hope that Casper will have mercy on Sheena and not hurt favonovel.com too badly. ”
Sheena could hear the crowd’s discussion below, and favonovel.com immediately felt uncomfortable. After all, Sheena knew that favonovel.com was no match for Caspian as the incident where favonovel.com hit Jordan in the council chamber spread among the Lawrence family. It was so shocking that people would talk about it every day, and Sheena was also familiar with the story.
Even so, Sheena still bit favonovel.com lips and bravely stood in front of Caspian.
“Casper, do excuse me…” The girl spoke in a slightly trembling tone.
Then, Caspian smiled and said, “Mm. Do your best, and don’t worry too much!”
When Sheena saw Caspian’s gentle and encouraging smile, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com anxiety calmed down significantly.
“The Snowpiercer Swordsmanship!” In an instant, Sheena shouted as favonovel.com shook a sword out of favonovel.com hand, stabbing at Caspian.
Caspian saw Sheena’s Snowpiercer Swordsmanship in the Lawrence family’s martial art chamber, and it was a low-rank Mortal Grade martial skill. Sheena’s realm was not high, so when favonovel.com used the technique, Caspian was not afraid at all.
Caspian did not even move a step, and favonovel.com just raised his hand where favonovel.com stood. Then, with only two fingers, favonovel.com managed to clamp Sheena’s sword. Just with a slight force, favonovel.com tossed Sheena and favonovel.com sword down the arena.
“Ahh!” Sheena shouted when favonovel.com felt a sudden strong force sent favonovel.com flying. At first, Sheena thought favonovel.com would fall horribly, but the next second, favonovel.com steadily landed on the ground as if someone carried favonovel.com and gently placed favonovel.com there.
Sheena immediately understood that it was Caspian’s mercy to her.
“Casper, I… I admit defeat,” Sheena said as favonovel.com looked at Caspian, who stood in the arena. Then, favonovel.com picked up favonovel.com sword on the ground, turned around, and was ready to leave.
Although favonovel.com accepted favonovel.com defeat, Sheena still felt sad and uncomfortable. That was the first time favonovel.com competed with others on such a formal occasion, but favonovel.com lost terribly. As favonovel.com walked away, Sheena became teary, but favonovel.com kept biting favonovel.com lips so that favonovel.com did not cry.
“When you attack, raise your wrist an inch higher. That way, its power can be increased by at least 20%.”
At that time, Sheena suddenly heard Caspian’s voice. She turned around and looked at Caspian, who flashed favonovel.com a friendly smile.
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
Seeing the encouragement in Caspian’s eyes, Sheena felt sudden confidence. Then, favonovel.com nodded, drew favonovel.com sword, and stabbed. That time, favonovel.com followed Caspian’s words. When favonovel.com drew favonovel.com sword, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com wrist an inch higher than favonovel.com usually did.
Swoosh!
The silver light of the blade flashed, turning into a bright sword light in mid-air. The next second, Sheena quickly showed a look of surprise and joy, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “You’re right!”
Not only her, but those Lawrence family members who saw the scene could also feel the difference in speed and strength of favonovel.com attacks.
“Your knowledge of the fundamentals is great, but your realm is slightly low now. Hence, you weren’t able to fully showcase the swordsmanship strength. Don’t rush to it, and take it slow. You’ll succeed!” Caspian looked at Sheena, smiling as favonovel.com cupped his hands. “Good luck!”
Sheena felt a surge of warmth and enthusiasm in her. The sadness favonovel.com felt before was gone entirely. Then, favonovel.com nodded at Caspian. “Yes! Thank you, Casper!”
Her tone was filled with gratitude and admiration. Previously, Sheena sounded like favonovel.com was just greeting Casper out of politeness, but one could feel favonovel.com sincerity.
Those elders sitting on the high platform not far away saw the scene, and they all nodded slightly. Even James smiled.
Although it was a competition, the Lawrence family’s biggest hope was for their future generation to temper themselves so they could improve further. The placings were just secondary. Moreover, Caspian’s guidance for Sheena achieved the Lawrence family’s senior member’s goal.
Hence, Yoel’s match where favonovel.com hurt a fellow family member just to win appeared more embarrassing now.
When Yoel saw Caspian walking down the arena, his initially proud expression was ashen from anger, and favonovel.com gritted his teeth hard.
Caspian was yet to attack him, but Yoel felt a horrible slap on his face, and favonovel.com could not even do anything about it!
At the thought of that, Yoel was so angry favonovel.com almost blew his top off.
