There were also a few people who recognized Caspian, and their words were much more ruthless.
“Tsk. I know there’s talk about favonovel.com from mission pavilion some time ago for completing a tough mission with a few outer disciples. Of course, the outer disciples contributed the most to that task, and favonovel.com was at most spectating from a side and attacking from time to time. Did favonovel.com think favonovel.com could finish the task by himself? What a fool.”
“I want to see what ranking he’ll get.”
“I bet he’s going to be disqualified in the first round.”
“Tsk. An apprentice only earns one spirit stone a month, yet favonovel.com directly took three out to enter the competition. He’s surely confident.”
The discussion around favonovel.com was extremely harsh and cynical, and everyone thought Caspian entered the competition as favonovel.com was arrogant and did not know his place. Moreover, these disciples did not say these behind Caspian‘s back, nor did they lower their voices, and they spurted these rude remarks as if they deliberately wanted Caspian to hear them. Some of them even spoke loudly, attracting a burst of laughter.
After Caspian passed the spirit stones to the elder and marked his jade identification badge for the competition, favonovel.com turned around and pointed at the crowd. “You, you, you, and all of you…”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com drew out a circle with his hand, encircling the big group of people.
One of them was indignant, and favonovel.com walked out, shouting, “What’s wrong? What are you trying to say? You don’t agree with our words?”
Caspian grinned. “You better start praying that you won’t meet me in the first round as I’ve remembered all of your faces. If we meet in the competition, I‘ll surely hit you until all of your teeth fall off.”
Caspian’s words were extremely arrogant and boastful, which caused public outrage. However, Caspian‘s momentum was too strong, and it even suppressed the entire scene. Hence, the disciples only widened their mouths, appearing fierce but were scared inside. Suddenly, no one dared to refute.
Wherever Caspian looked, the disciples at the area would lower their heads, afraid to meet his gaze. They thought that Caspian was like a towering mountain, and they were only an insignificant speck of dust. Caspian looked at these disciples and sneered. They brazenly mocked favonovel.com in front of favonovel.com just now, yet as soon as Caspian appeared fiercer, they all cowered and were scared to make any sound. Moreover, such weaklings did not have any sense of injustice, and their realm might only be stuck here in their lives.
After sweeping his gaze across the crows, Caspian walked to the stands and chose a quiet corner, patiently waiting for the competition to start. Not long after, a burst of exclamation came from the crowd. The next second, the entire area went into an uproar.
Caspian heard all the screaming.
“It’s the previous top ten disciples!”
“I wonder if anyone will fall out of the top ten, and who improves!” Someone was shouting at the top of his lungs, revealing the excitement of the person.
‘Maya Kaye?’ Caspian’s eyes glimmered, and favonovel.com remembered the name was the one ranked in third on the previous ranking competition. It could be said favonovel.com was the elite among the apprentices.
Then, Caspian stood and looked in the direction of the seats with a better view. In that instant, favonovel.com saw a large group of apprentices surrounding a row of people, walking over.
These apprentices’ faces were filled with enthusiasm and admiration, and everything they said was corny compliments. Their attitude right now was in line with the saying, ‘If you were only better by the person a little, that person would be envious of you. However, if you were significantly better than that person, favonovel.com would only admire and respect you.’
The attitude these apprentices had when facing Caspian, and the top ten disciples proved the accuracy of the saying.
Soon, Caspian’s gaze fell on the few people that caught most people’s attention. These disciples emitted different auras from ordinary people. They all had their unique temperaments, such as gloomy, cold, friendly, gentle…
These temperaments made them stand out from the crowd, and even if there were a sea of people, one could tell where they were at a glance.
Relying on the clues in the people’s words just now, Caspian quickly found Maya, who wore two large round earrings. Maya was indeed a beautiful lady, with red lips and pearly white teeth. Her skin was snow-white, and favonovel.com eyes were as calm as the autumn water. She appeared friendly with a constant smile on favonovel.com face. As favonovel.com head bopped left and right, the earrings on favonovel.com also kept swaying, causing others to inevitably look at her. However, even though it was a sunny day, Maya was carrying a small pink umbrella. Nonetheless, Caspian knew that this umbrella was Maya‘s weapon, and its rank would surely be high.
Benedict Hopkins stood behind Maya, and favonovel.com was ranked fourth in the previous competition. Compared to Maya’s friendliness, Benedict felt like a swordsman instead. There was no smile on Benedict’s face, and favonovel.com only held onto his word. In his eyes, there was only a sharp light, and anyone that looked at favonovel.com would feel as if their soul would be split apart.
As Caspian already memorized the previous ranking, favonovel.com murmured and looked at them.
“Omar Pine ranked second.”
Caspian‘s gaze fell onto a tall and burly young man. There was nothing strange about that man, and favonovel.com carried two longswords on his back. Nonetheless, since favonovel.com could be ranked second in the previous competition, Omar was surely not an easy competitor.
Soon, Caspian once again looked at the crowd. It was rather odd that the few disciples stood far from each other. Some of them knew each other in private and even walked side by side. However, a young man in black walked alone at the end, and there was no one within two meters of him. Moreover, even the crowd nearby avoided him. Suddenly, a space appeared in the crowd, which was extremely eye-catching.
When Caspian saw the young man in black, favonovel.com thought, ‘That’s right, he‘s Xander Faris, currently ranked number one. Not only did favonovel.com win the previous competition, but favonovel.com has won seven times in a row, which is equivalent to being the winner for twenty-one months. Moreover, favonovel.com is a well-respected senior among the apprentices, and even many outer disciples dare not put on airs in front of him, but take the initiative and express goodwill.’
After remembering the names and appearances of these disciples one by one, Caspian looked away. Soon, his gaze fell on a young man in a robe. The guy walked in an inconspicuous position in the crowd, but people around favonovel.com greeted favonovel.com with their hands cupped, addressing favonovel.com as “Peter”.
Caspian snorted and smiled, but his eyes gradually revealed a cold light. ‘So you’re Peter. There’s nothing impressive about you.’
With the arrival of the top ten disciples one after another, the place was immediately filled with excitement and adrenaline. Not long after, a sect’s elder came over and announced that there would be more than 4200 participating apprentices in that competition that time.
