After pondering for a while, Peter replied, “Hmm. Alright then, we’ll just wait for the next upcoming rank competition and decide later. Moreover, it might not be inconvenient to look for favonovel.com during this time.” Then, favonovel.com reminded Kyle, “I might not be in the sect for some time. If Casper looks for you, you should weigh what you should do.”
When favonovel.com heard that, Kyle immediately nodded, and favonovel.com looked at Peter with glimmering eyes. “Peter, are you…”
Seeing that Peter nodded slightly and appeared proud, Kyle responded in a cheerful tone, “Congratulations, Peter! Congratulations on getting a step forward in the pathway to immortality.”
Peter being in the peak first stage of the Pulse Control Realm, was not a secret among the apprentices. Besides that, Peter was also among the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list, and favonovel.com was considered a significant figure among the apprentices. Otherwise, Kyle would not be so respectful either. Furthermore, Peter was stuck in that realm for many years, and favonovel.com finally had a feeling that favonovel.com was about to ascend. Although favonovel.com pretended to be calm, Peter was secretly extremely proud because of Kyle’s words.
Then, Peter waved his hands and replied, “I’ve been waiting for so long, and it’s time to ascend. During that period, I’ll train in seclusion to achieve enlightenment. Then, if I can get a good result in this upcoming rank competition, I might be able to ascend in the next month.”
Kyle hurriedly bowed. “Then I’ll congratulate you in advance!”
Soon, Peter said indifferently, “Kyle, you’ve been stuck at the mid-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm for quite some time, right.”
When Kyle heard that, his heart skipped a beat. On the pathway to immortality, one should seize every opportunity, so Kyle only hesitated for a second before lowering his head. “Please, give me pointers.”
“Unfortunately, I’m that great yet. However, if you want to move a step forward, I’ll give you some chances, and it’s up to you if you can grasp them,” Peter answered.
That time, Kyle did not hesitate and hurriedly replied, “I’m willing to follow your lead!”
Kyle‘s voice was so loud that it shook the verdant bamboo around them. Then, Peter smiled in satisfaction and nodded. His eyes were profound, and no one could tell what favonovel.com thought.
At the same time, Caspian walked the mission pavilion, and favonovel.com had long left the Immortal Soldiers Arena. The road in front of favonovel.com was like a zigzagging snake, and favonovel.com could not see the end. However, Caspian did not appear to be annoyed, but favonovel.com showed a cold sneer.
‘Probing me and even showing me such an amiable attitude? Dream on!’ Caspian scoffed.
Since the moment Kyle looked for him, Caspian was wary. After that, the seemingly casual conversations around them appeared to be flanking Caspian, and every sentence was a trap, which easily exposed Kyle. Nonetheless, Kyle was still clueless. Thus, Caspian was confident that Kyle looked for favonovel.com because the person behind Kyle was Peter mentioned by John and Samuel, and Kyle was there to find out the depth of his strength.
Caspian was indeed lost the short battle in the Immortal Soldiers Arena, but favonovel.com only showed the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows and Eight-Shadowed Fists. He did not use other martial skills, such as the Fierce Tiger’s Eleven Consecutive Kicks, the Strangulation of an Angered Dragon, the Lotus Leaves Chop, or the Bloodthirsty Spear Method. Besides that, Caspian’s Blazing Spear also had three inscriptions!
More importantly, Caspian did not even reveal the slightest bit of his bigger trump card, The Immortal Demon Physique. He did not even use any of his hole cards during the battle with Kyle, and favonovel.com acted as if favonovel.com was a helpless little sheep.
Nevertheless, Caspian was also aware that Kyle was also hiding some things like him. However, Caspian was not bothered by what Kyle’s secret was. After all, the real help that battle brought favonovel.com was a deeper understanding of the battles among cultivators. They were not only limited to martial skills, magic, and supernatural power, formations, inscriptions, and even puppets were also available methods.
‘That’s right. The Heavenly Stars Sect is most famous in Earlington of Efrax for their formation and inscriptions!’ Caspian thought, ‘I have to be more careful in the upcoming rank competition.’
At the thought of that, Caspian could not help but wonder how Peter and Kyle would react if they found out that their probing was not only misleading as they did not manage to find out anything about Caspian, but it also improved Caspian.
After walking for quite some time, Caspian arrived at the location of the current mission, which was a straw hut at the foot of the mountain. The surroundings were extremely desolated, and at a glance, there was no one in sight. However, Caspian knew the area was set up with formations, and only disciples who accepted the task would be able to enter.
There was no one in the straw hut, and the desk and chairs were layered with thick dust. It was apparent that it was long since someone visited. If Caspian did not know the content of the task, favonovel.com might think that it was just a wasteland among the Heavenly Stars Sect’s territory, which was long abandoned.
Passing through the hut, Caspian arrived at the backyard, and favonovel.com immediately saw a fish pond about the size of two acres. Even though no one took care of the place, the water was extremely clear. At a glance, Caspian saw a fish about a meter in size swimming in the water. Caspian never saw that fish before. Its body was flat, and its tail was thin and long, dragging behind it. However, what amazed Caspian the most was how colorful, and massive the fish was. If it were not in water and flying in mid-air, one would mistake it as a huge butterfly from afar.
Caspian understood that his mission at that time was to record the changes of the strange fish three times a day.
After glancing at the surroundings, Caspian quickly noticed a wooden pole at the side of the pond, and there was a book with mottled covers hanging on it by a delicate string, and there was also a brush at the side. Next, favonovel.com went to open the book, and after skimming through the pages, favonovel.com burst into laughter.
The most recent record of the fish was four years ago, and the disciple in charge was obviously angry, as his final sentence was, ‘What a tedious task. It was just a waste of time. Cheapskate!’
The last word, Cheapskate, was written messily and with strong force as it almost broke through the papers. It was apparent that the disciple was filled with resentment about that task.
After flipping through the first few pages, Caspian noticed that the few disciples that accepted the task before would always carefully record the details for the first few days. However, it did not take them long to be annoyed. When favonovel.com was done, Caspian chuckled. He wiped the book and smoothed out the folded pages, hanging it back. Then, favonovel.com turned to look at the strange fish.
“No one changed your water or fed you in the past four years, yet the water is still so clean, and you’re still leaving well. It seems that you’re really worth the observation.”
As if the strange fish understood Caspian, it waved its tail before diving deeper.
Soon, five days passed by.
