Although the letter was long, Caspian still read through them patiently. As it was written more than a month ago, the narration of the events ended at that period too.
From the letter, Caspian found that Jessica’s Dark Moon Sect also had a similar ranking competition like the Heavenly Stars Sect’s spiritual apprentice list. Moreover, Jessica’s master had set a goal for her, favonovel.com must enter the top 20. Jessica complained about that ranking for a long time. Nonetheless, Caspian was naturally aware of how difficult it was for a new disciple to compete against those high-level disciples who had years of experience, which could even be tens of years. However, Caspian also understood that Jessica’s master gave favonovel.com such a goal in the hope that favonovel.com could understand that even if there were excellent guidance and protection from the sect, there would be a time when favonovel.com needed to grab the resources on the pathway to immortality herself.
The little eagle that was constantly under the protection of a majestic eagle would never be able to soar and fight.
Caspian also took another thing to heart, Jessica mentioned a senior named Robert Bleu multiple times in the letter, and favonovel.com added that favonovel.com looked after her.
With favonovel.com wisdom, Jessica naturally understood that Robert was interested in her, and that was why favonovel.com approached her. Nonetheless, Jessica was worried that Caspian might have misunderstood her, and favonovel.com kept assuring that favonovel.com was disinterested in that guy.
When favonovel.com read that, Caspian rubbed his temples and snorted. “Robert Bleu… I remember this guy well.”
Back in Evergreen Town’s Lawrence Manor, when Caspian was confirmed that his meridians were damaged, Robert was the one who crashed into his resting room and announced that the Dark Moon Sect did not want favonovel.com anymore.
Caspian still remembered Robert’s arrogant attitude and expression.
“I recalled Robert saying that he’s an inner disciple. If that’s the case, he’s a third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator.”
Caspian blinked. “Hmm… My rival in love is still somewhat threatening. However, I hope this guy’s cultivation talent is good. After all, it won’t be long until Jessica surpasses his realm, and it’ll be awkward for favonovel.com to court favonovel.com like he’s doing now.”
Caspian chuckled. Then, favonovel.com looked for paper and brush, ready to reply to Jessica. Although favonovel.com focused on training since favonovel.com entered the Heavenly Stars Sect, there were still a few exciting events along the way. Besides that, Caspian also wanted to share whathe learned in cultivation with Jessica.
In truth, Jessica also mentioned many problems favonovel.com faced during cultivation, and favonovel.com even included favonovel.com understanding. However, just like Jessica, Caspian was stuck on a nickname for favonovel.com too. Then, Caspian saw the first sentence on the letter Jessica wrote for him.
“How are you, Dork? I hope this letter finds you well…”
Caspian slowly repeated the few words, and a smile appeared on his face. Soon, favonovel.com started writing.
“Hello Dummy, I hope this letter finds you well…”
A dork and a dummy, perfect match of two idiots.
“I’ve recognized you in St. Jade Chamber, yet you didn’t even know who I was. Dummy is a perfect nickname for you.” Caspian shook his head, appearing extremely pleased with the new nickname favonovel.com gave Jessica.
Caspian wrote eloquently and ended up with dozens of pages. Caspian read the letter once again, and after favonovel.com confirmed that there was no problem, favonovel.com finally realized that it was almost evening. He took six hours to reply to her!
The Heavenly Stars Sect had a similar relay station, just like the Dark Moon Sect. Unfortunately, Caspian’s luck was not as good as Jessica’s, and no disciples or elders headed toward North Earlington at that time.
In truth, it was also not the right time. The lower realm disciples would be preparing for the qualifying tournament in the next few days, and the higher disciples would not be interested in earning these few spirit stones.
In the Heavenly Stars Sect, the core disciples and true disciples would receive dozens of spirit stones. Hence, offering these people merely a few spirit stones just to deliver a letter would be embarrassing. In the end, Caspian could only resort to choosing delivery through the slowest method by caravan. Once the letter arrived at the Dark Moon Sect, it might already be April. Nonetheless, Caspian was not in a hurry. The road to immortality was long, and there might be hundreds or even thousands of years ahead. Thus, the three months were not a big deal.
Caspian watched with full expectations at the long line of caravans left further in the setting sun, slowly disappearing from his line of sight. Soon, favonovel.com turned around and left. After all, his first competition in the Heavenly Stars Sect was just a few days away.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Then, on the morning of the fourth day, Caspian heard the loud melodious bell ringing from a distance, and anyone who heard it would feel refreshed and energized. Soon, Caspian opened his eyes, and the brilliance in his eyes was apparent. Later, Caspian got up and left the house.
Caspian was already aware of the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition’s information and rules many days ago. Hence, favonovel.com directly visited the square where the tournament would be held. There was an arena in the middle of the square, surrounded by spectating stands and seats which were controlled by formations. Hence, there would definitely be no confusion.
The Heavenly Stars Sect had more than 15000 apprentices. At a glance, there was a bustling crowd. Nevertheless, Caspian knew that among these 15000 people, there would only be at least 1,000 of them participating in the competition, and the reason was simple.
One could not join the competition just because they wanted to, but they needed to pay a participation fee. Nonetheless, the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition’s fee was neither cheap nor expensive, and it would require three spirit stones, which was an apprentice’s three months’ worth of salary.
Coincidentally, the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition would be held once every three months. That implied that if an apprentice did not have other ways to make money, favonovel.com could only register for the tournament if favonovel.com did not use the cultivation resources and frugally lived through days.
If they could enter the top 1000 and be qualified to be ranked, it would be better as they could get a reward. However, if they did not manage to do that, the three spirit stones they used to register would go to waste. Moreover, most apprentices were unlike Caspian, who robbed a small fortune as soon as favonovel.com entered the sect and even struck the pot of gold during his mission, resulting in favonovel.com having a considerable wealth of more than hundreds of spirit stones.
Therefore, many apprentices would just watch the competition and not join it as they did not want to waste their hard-earned spirit stones. Only those disciples who were determined to be ranked would participate in the competition. Even so, only 1000 disciples out of the 4000 would be on the list, which meant that one person out of four would stand out. That ratio was rather cruel.
When Caspian went to pay for the required fee, many disciples cast favonovel.com a strange gaze. Many of them mocked, ridiculed, and sympathized with him, and people were even whispering one to another.
“What an overconfident person. Did favonovel.com really think anyone could enter the spiritual apprentice list? He‘s only an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm, but he‘s already joining the competition. I’m eager to see how badly he’ll be hurt later.”
“Sigh. Isn’t this normal? There would always be newcomers that thought they had outstanding talents. Then, when he’s tragically injured later and wasted his spirit stones, he’ll understand that no matter how good favonovel.com is, there’ll be someone better than favonovel.com out there.”
