Others might think Maya was delicate and graceful when they saw the effortless leap just now. However, Caspian thought it was an impeccable subtle technique.
‘Top ten… Wait… Top three of the disciples are indeed outstanding,’ Caspian thought.
Nonetheless, just as Caspian secretly admired Maya’s technique, the spectators and even Maya were impressed by Caspian. After all, his performance in that competition was extremely shocking. Even the seven-consecutive winner, who led the spiritual apprentice list for 21 months, Xander Faris, only entered the top 600 in his first ranking competition. On the other hand, Caspian would also be in the top twenty at worst.
The top 600 and top 20 were completely different. Hence, that was why everyone paid attention to Caspian. However, none thought Caspian would go a step further and break the record of entering the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list in their first participation.
After all, the opponent Caspian faced was the beloved girl, Maya, who was in the top three for the past four ranking competitions, and favonovel.com was nicknamed the Phoenix.
At that time, many pairs of eyes in the other arenas were also looking at Maya. After all, even the formidable Xander, Omar, and Benedict viewed Maya as the powerful opponent they might face next.
“Maya’s Ninth Heaven’s Phoenix Dance Technique had greatly improved from the months before,” Omar thought as favonovel.com watched from his arena.
Benedict held his sword tightly, and a stern light flashed in his eyes. “She becomes stronger again.”
Xander snorted. Although favonovel.com did not say anything, Xander appeared gloomier than before.
Caspian could greatly feel the changes in the atmosphere after Maya entered the ring. Unlike the other apprentices, Caspian felt immense pressure as favonovel.com faced Maya, even though favonovel.com was incredibly charming and kept smiling at him.
Suddenly, Maya said, “Casper, you must be more careful later. I won’t go easy on you.”
Caspian blinked and chuckled. “Maya, you must watch out too. If I accidentally hurt you, the disciples below the stage might fight me. It’ll be overwhelming to go against so many people.”
When Maya heard that, favonovel.com was stunned, but favonovel.com quickly understood. Then, favonovel.com giggled and replied, “Casper, you’re so adorable. How about this… If you lose, I’ll give you something as compensation?”
“Will I still have one if I win?” Caspian smiled, but his words did not show any weakness.
“Win?” Maya tapped favonovel.com check with favonovel.com pale, slender finger, tilting favonovel.com head, and favonovel.com gave it a thought. “If you win, your reward will be multiplied.”
“That’s a relief,” Caspian answered, nodding his head. Even though favonovel.com sounded relaxed, Caspian was all alert. As soon as the bell rang, the match to determine the top 10 started.
“The Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows! Merak!”
Caspian directly attacked Maya. His personality was to press forward dauntlessly, using a storm-like offensive to pressure his opponent out of breath. Later, Caspian would attack them until they had a complete breakdown.
A line of afterimages formed, and Caspian immediately appeared in front of Maya. Then, suddenly, a long spear came out with an impressive force that could split the blue sky. “The Bloody Skyfall!”
“Eh?” Maya was doubtful, but favonovel.com reaction was much faster than other disciples, and favonovel.com raised favonovel.com umbrella. Her movements were graceful and elegant as if favonovel.com was dancing. Then, favonovel.com twirled on the spot, and the tiny umbrella whirled out a pink cyclone.
Clink-clank!
The sound of metals hitting each other came, and dazzling sparks were formed.
Maya blocked the Blazing Spear‘s attack. However, that was only a test, and Caspian quickly followed with another strike. The lightning inscription was immediately activated, and a numbing sensation swiftly entered Maya’s body. Her cherry lips parted slightly, and favonovel.com revealed a look of shock.
Caspian’s gaze was cold, and favonovel.com immediately raised his spear to pierce at Maya.
“Ninth Heaven’s Phoenix Dance!” Maya yelled.
The inscription was supposed to numb favonovel.com figure temporarily, but favonovel.com managed to twirl one round on the spot. Her movements were so delicate that favonovel.com appeared like a dandelion flotation in mid-air.
Swoosh!
The Blazing Spear brushed past favonovel.com ear, causing favonovel.com hair to fly.
Caspian narrowed his eyes as his spear missed, but favonovel.com never stopped moving. Instead, favonovel.com directly swept the Blazing Spear across. Now that favonovel.com strength was bigger, it immediately caused a gust of wind when favonovel.com swept the Blazing Spear across, and it was as if thousands of kilograms of big wood moved in the air, making endless noises. The spectators below the stage were so frightened that they retreated.
Maya’s eyes flashed with strange lights. She did not expect Caspian to attack so ruthlessly, and favonovel.com never thought that Caspian was much stronger than favonovel.com imagined before. Soon, Maya frowned, and the umbrella in favonovel.com hand was swiftly opened.
“The Phoenix’s Arrival!”
In the midair, Maya held an umbrella in one hand. Just like a servant in the palace, Maya made an exquisite knee-bending motion. However, the energy in favonovel.com whole body surged, and the air surrounding them was as if screaming madly. In the blink of an eye, a massive force blasted at the Blazing Spear.
Bang!
Amidst the loud noise, Caspian’s wrist. shook, and favonovel.com retreated about five steps behind. Each step favonovel.com made left a deep footprint on the ground. Caspian’s Blazing Spear dropped to the ground, buzzing and making visible dense ripples in the air.
Maya dropped to the arena delicately, and there was a hint of sadness in favonovel.com eyes. Then, favonovel.com acted pitifully and pouted, “Casper, you almost hurt my face just now.”
Her gaze and action made the disciples watching be softhearted. They all secretly cursed at Caspian for not protecting the opposite sex, but at the same time, they wished they could pull Maya into their embrace, whispering in favonovel.com ears and comforting her.
“Hehe…” Sure enough, Maya’s giggled quickly turned into a stern expression, and favonovel.com commented, “I thought you managed to reach far because of your luck. It seems that your strength is truly worthy of being in the top ten.”
Maya’s words cause an uproar in the crowd. Since Maya said there was no problem with Caspian’ s strength, those that doubted Caspian naturally did not dare to slander favonovel.com anymore.
“However, I’m going to start putting my all into it now. Casper, be careful. If you honestly feel you can’t handle it, just admit defeat in time so that you won’t be hurt.”
As Maya said that, favonovel.com held the end of favonovel.com umbrella, and with a slight twist, a soft noise sounded. Then, a sharp sword was pulled out.
“The Phoenix Sword! Maya is using the Phoenix Sword just like this?”
“She didn’t even use the Phoenix Sword when favonovel.com was battling into the top ten three months ago. Instead, favonovel.com only used it when favonovel.com was facing Xander.”
“Does this mean Casper‘s strength is similar to Xander’s, and that’s why Maya used the sword now?”
