When people saw Connor’s cocky look, they became more annoyed.
“Just because you said you’ll get 3500 points, you think we’re going to believe you? You know there’s consequences of bluffing, right?”
Connor’s gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a knife as favonovel.com glared at the speaker. The man was so terrified that favonovel.com dared not to say another word. Then, Connor uttered word byword, “If I get 3500 points, your life’s mine. If I don’t get it, I’ll chop off my head and give it to you. Do you dare to bet on that?”
Since Connor was able to say that, favonovel.com was indeed confident with getting the 3500 points.
‘3500 points? That’s interesting!’ Caspian saw the scene and had a sudden hunch. Then, favonovel.com turned his gaze sideways toward the lawn far away from him. In the yard, the elders of the sects were camouflaging themselves with the help of formation, and they were having an intense discussion.
“It’s Connor Yeager! Why’s favonovel.com here?”
“Why didn’t we get any news about favonovel.com attending this ceremony?!”
“With Connor here, we won’t be going back empty-handed this time! Hahahaha!”
“What are you saying? The White Clouds Hall wants Connor to be our disciple.”
“Stop fooling around. We, the First Heaven Sect, haven’t even said we want them. Why is the White Clouds Hall interrupting?”
“We must have that guy!”
“It’s Connor from the Yeager family, and he’s a well-known young talent. I can’t believe that no other sect recruited favonovel.com yet, and he’s even joining the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony. Isn‘t this just like finding treasure in ruins!”
“No matter what, we must have Connor!”
“Did you hear him? He wants to get 3500 points, and he’s even brazenly using his life to bet with others.”
“Amazing! What a brave kid!”
Among the group of elders who were discussing, Caspian knew one of them, Ian from the Dark Moon Sect. When Ian heard the Yeager family’s Connor also attended the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, favonovel.com was somewhat excited.
The Yeager family was considered a relatively reputable family in Earlington of Efrax, and they were not comparable to the Lawrence family from Evergreen Town. Moreover, Connor was the best among the Yeager family’s younger generation, and favonovel.com was crowned as a genius from a young age.
The Yeager family was powerful, and few sects would forcefully knock on their doors just to recruit him. Hence, Connor did not enter any sect till then. Although joining the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony was like breaking a nut with a sledgehammer for Connor, it was apparent that the Yeager family hoped Connor would choose the sect favonovel.com wanted.
At the thought of that, Ian started to rack his brain. No matter what, if favonovel.com could recruit Connor into the Dark Moon Sect, it would be a great achievement for Ian. Moreover, there was a 99% chance that Connor would achieve the 3500 points. There would not be an issue with meeting the requirements.
However, as the elder sent by the Dark Moon Sect, Ian wondered what type of offer favonovel.com should make to let Connor be interested and choose the Dark Moon Sect. As Ian thought about what benefits favonovel.com could attract Connor, his expression suddenly froze when favonovel.com looked up.
“Casper..?” Ian blinked.
Caspian was walking toward the Virtual Fantasy Formation.
Ian’s gaze immediately sank, and favonovel.com shook his head. ‘You came after all. However, even if you get a great score, you won’t be able to enter a sect with your current state. The sects want powerful cultivators, not strong warriors.’
As if the elder of another sect beside favonovel.com noticed his gaze, favonovel.com approached Ian and chuckled. “Master Ian, you don‘t seem to have high expectations of that Casper?”
Before this, Caspian noticed the elders’ location, and it caused a small discussion among them. Thus, a few elders of the sects also remembered Caspian, and they were ready to observe his performance.
Coincidentally, this elder was one of those interested in Caspian.
Ian hesitated for a moment before answered, “It‘s so unfortunate…”
“Unfortunate?” the elder tilted his head, and favonovel.com whispered, “Master Ian, what are you saying?”
Then, Ian turned to look at Caspian and noticed that the last batch of young warriors participating in the test already sat in the formation. After pondering for a moment, favonovel.com sighed. “Initially, Casper had a chance to enter the Dark Moon Sect, but an accident happened last month, and his meridians were completely damaged.”
“He successfully condensed his meridians?” The elder caught on to something else, and favonovel.com immediately gasped.
Ian nodded.
“He’s sixteen and successfully condensed his meridians to enter the Pulse Control Realm. Hence, he’s indeed a genius, but now… His energy channels are all damaged?” The elder asked again, unwilling to give up.
“That’s right. I’ve personally checked him,” Ian lamented, “Otherwise, why would the Dark Moon Sect let go of him?”
The elder’s expression changed drastically, but it quickly recovered. Then, favonovel.com glanced at Caspian and replied, “What a pity…”
“Indeed, it is!” Ian nodded.
Since his meridians were wholly damaged, it meant that favonovel.com would never be able to enter the Pulse Control Realm. Although elixirs that could rebuild meridians exist in this world, those precious medicines would favonovel.com a waste if a warrior used them. It was comparable to using a life-prolonging elixir to handle a small cut wound. Hence, the question was whether it was worth it. Looking at the matter from that point of view, Caspian could be considered as entirely useless. Since there was no way that Caspian could ascend into a higher realm, the elder shifted his focus to elsewhere.
‘Casper, I know that you’re indignant, but this is a fact. It’s better to let it go,’ Ian thought. Then, favonovel.com looked at Connor. After all, Connor was the talent that favonovel.com must try his best to recruit.
At the same time, the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony final round of the test was about to begin. Caspian sat cross-legged in the eye of the formation. Perhaps other people did not feel it, but Caspian could sense that a trace of spiritual Qi was surging out and seeping into his body. Moreover, favonovel.com felt as if something pulled favonovel.com to enter into a certain state.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but when Caspian raised his head, favonovel.com saw Connor about ten meters away from him. As Caspian was in the eighth district and Connor was in the ninth, their distance was never too far apart. They were also facing each other due to the sitting arrangement.
Nonetheless, it was obvious that Connor looked at Caspian as trash that would not achieve 2000 points in his life, yet favonovel.com was interested in him. After sitting cross-legged, Connor directly shut his eyes, and there was still the arrogant sneer on his face.
When favonovel.com saw that, Caspian also took a deep breath to calm himself down before closing his eyes. The next second, Caspian felt the spiritual Qi beneath favonovel.com appear to have turned into a big hand, directly grabbing favonovel.com from the ground and abruptly flying into the sky.
