Sebastian chatted with Caspian for a while outside the courtyard before leaving. After that, Caspian observed the surroundings. The compound was built at the foot of the mountain, and trees and trails surrounded it. The air was full of spiritual Qi. However, Sebastian mentioned before that the spiritual Qi there was just slightly thicker than in the mortal world. Compared to the Heavenly Stars Sect’s sacred spots, the aura here would be as light as water.
Naturally, Caspian wanted to train in a place with a high concentration of spiritual Qi, but that place was enough for favonovel.com then.
‘The apprentices live in such a courtyard, and on the way up here, I’ve also noticed similar buildings. It’ll take at least fifteen minutes to travel from one building to another… It seems that the Heavenly Stars Sect’s area is much bigger than I imagined.’
Then, Caspian walked around the compound, and favonovel.com only went in once favonovel.com understood the surrounding layout. As favonovel.com walked into the courtyard, Caspian immediately saw a spacious open space with a few equipment and weapons. It appeared to be a small battlefield for the apprentices who lived here to practice.
After the open space was a one-story wooden house, which seemed to be roomy. When favonovel.com walked in, favonovel.com realized that there was only one room in the wooden house. It was only decorated with six beds, three tables, a few chairs, and nothing more. Among the six beds, five of them had beddings. Hence, it was apparent that the remaining one was Caspian’s.
Just as Caspian was done changing into the apprentice uniform that favonovel.com just received, the door was pushed open, and five figures walked in. Caspian was about to greet them when the five apprentices approached favonovel.com in a domineering manner.
With his hands crossed in front of him, the leading apprentice looked at Caspian and asked, “You’re the newcomer, Casper Montgomery?”
When Caspian wore the white apprentice uniform, favonovel.com appeared elegant and handsome. However, on the tall and burly guy, it was as if the clothes would break at any time, and it was not attractive at all. Nonetheless, it seemed as if the disciple did not care about it at all. Even as favonovel.com was crossing his arms, his clothes were making a tearing sound.
“Yes, I am.” Caspian nodded.
“What realm are you in?” A cunning and ugly-looking disciple beside favonovel.com hurriedly asked.
“First stage of the Pulse Control Realm,” Caspian paused, “Entry-level.”
Since they were all apprentices, they were naturally in the first stage of the Pulse Control Realm, but the only differences would be their levels, which were entry-level, mid-level, and peak.
When the five disciples heard that Caspian was an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, they immediately appeared relaxed. The tall and burly man who spoke before walked toward a bed and sat arrogantly. Then, the other four stood beside him, two on each side.
The five apprentices looked at Caspian as if they were interrogating a criminal.
“I’m Samuel Woods. From now onward, you’re going to regard me as your senior.” Samuel clenched his fists, and a crisp cracking sound was heard. The four of them quickly tried to flatter him.
As if favonovel.com was afraid that Caspian would not submit, Samuel grinned. “I’m at the peak of the first-stage Pulse Control Realm.”
Initially, Samuel was also an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, and favonovel.com was no different than the four other people around him. However, Samuel was always cruel, and favonovel.com also had support in the Heavenly Stars Sect. Hence, favonovel.com naturally became the little boss of these few people. A few days ago, favonovel.com managed to improve his realm by chance, and favonovel.com achieved the mid-level of the first-stage Pulse Control Realm, making favonovel.com firmly secure the seat as their leader.
Therefore, Samuel was naturally not bothered about Caspian’s realm. After all, although realms were not the only criterion of strength in the world of cultivators, those with a lower realm would inevitably be weaker, and this was the truth.
Caspian indifferently glanced at Samuel, and favonovel.com did not say a word.
Seeing his behavior, Samuel frowned and coldly said, “Casper, we’ll be training under the same room from now onward. I don’t need to say much about other things, but I’m sure you understand the newcomer’s rules.”
Caspian did not know what the rule was but seeing Samuel’s expression and action as well as his behavior, it was nothing good. Hence, Caspian faked a smile and answered, “I don’t understand.”
“You!” Samuel’s eyes flashed with anger, and favonovel.com hinted at the cunning look disciple that spoke before. The guy bowed at Samuel and gradually approached Caspian. “Casper, I’m warning you to know your boundaries. There are five people here, and everyone came in before you and is much stronger than you. If you want to cultivate peace, you should know how to judge the situation. Let me teach you a lesson on what you should do. From this month onward, the spirit stone that you obtained this year as a newcomer must be given to Samuel, and in the first half of the year, you must help Samuel and us finish our sect missions.”
Giving them all the spirit stone in the first year here was equivalent to losing cultivation resources. Furthermore, if favonovel.com had to complete their missions and his tasks in the first half of the year, favonovel.com would not have any time for training. If Caspian followed this guy’s order, Caspian’s realm might be stagnant, but that group of people would receive resources and more cultivating time. In the long term, the gap between these disciples’ realms and strength with Caspian’s would only get bigger. At that time, it might be impossible for Caspian to turn this around, and they would only bully favonovel.com further.
“Casper, we’re only trying to warn you gently, so it’s better for you just to follow our orders, or you’ll have to face the consequences. After all, we’re going to live with each other for a long time,” then, the cunning-looking disciple added
menacingly, “Moreover, it won’t be great if something bad were to happen.”
The disciple’s threat made Caspian burst into laughter. Then, favonovel.com looked at the cunning-looking disciple and smiled, “Are you threatening me?”
“I’m just warning you.” The cunning-looking disciple was running out of patience. “Casper, hurry up and hand over your spirit stone!”
Looking at his face, it was obvious that the cunning-looking disciple was going to rob Caspian.
“I don’t want to.” Caspian smiled, but it did not reach his eyes. “If you have the guts, come and snatch it from me.”
Samuel frowned and shouted, “Teach favonovel.com a lesson!” Then, favonovel.com sneered. “Just make sure you don’t kill him. I still need people to finish my missions.”
“Of course!” the cunning-looking disciple smiled faintly, and favonovel.com swiftly pointed the finger at Caspian’s chest, “The Falling Star Finger!”
A finger swept across, and even the air was torn open, causing an ear-splitting blast. The finger could easily poke a hole through a steel bar as wide as a palm. This disciple’s movements were extremely fast, but it was as slow as a snail in Caspian’s eyes. Moreover, the disciple’s attitude fully angered Caspian.
Caspian snorted. He reached out and successfully grabbed onto the cunning-looking disciple’s finger and snapped it backward. Soon, a cracking sound of bones shattering came, and the disciple’s index finger was sticking to the back of his hand, bleeding.
