On the way back, Caspian felt the obvious changes brought from being among the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list. Any apprentices that met favonovel.com would take the initiative to greet him. Even if these apprentices were in a slightly higher realm, which was peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm, they also treated Caspian respectfully and addressed favonovel.com as their senior.
The reason was simple, Caspian’s strength was formidable, and favonovel.com was a giant ranked in the top ten of the apprentices!
Caspian experienced being the center of attention many times before. Hence, even though favonovel.com felt somewhat excited, Caspian would not be overjoyed, nor would favonovel.com be putting on the air. Moreover, the slight hint of excitement was normal. After all, Caspian recently turned seventeen. Even if favonovel.com had boundless experiences before, favonovel.com was still a teenager. Additionally, those that addressed favonovel.com as their seniors were all Pulse Control Realm cultivators and not ordinary people.
As promised, Caspian did not accept any new task and returned to his courtyard. Just as favonovel.com expected, the five other housemates were not there. Before Caspian even stood out as an outstanding talent, they already avoided him. Hence, it did not take a genius to figure out that they would naturally get as further away as possible from Caspian now that favonovel.com became a giant among the apprentices. Besides, Samuel and the rest were not a match for Caspian.
When evening came, the matter was even more certain. A disciple came over and informed Caspian that Samuel and the other housemates requested to move to a compound far away from here. As no new disciples entered the sect soon, Caspian would leave in the courtyard alone for now.
Caspian watched as the disciple left, and favonovel.com looked around the empty and quiet courtyard. He could not help but sigh. “Entering the top ten is amazing. Even though I’m not an outer disciple, I can enjoy the treatment of living alone like one.”
Based on Maya’s words, the soonest the so-called good news would only arrive was in three days, so Caspian still had at least three days of training. That night, Caspian trained as usual. Then, favonovel.com went to the Astrea Pavilion the following day.
The Astrea Pavilion was where the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples went to exchange their sect contribution points for materials. Besides materials, other items could be traded here, including precious medicines, weapons, inscriptions, array maps, and many others.
Even the sect contribution points could be exchanged for spirit stones. However, there was only one principle, no matter what they wanted to trade, they must use sect contribution points.
When Caspian walked out from the Astrea Pavilion, his small storage bag was almost full. Caspian‘s 40 sect contribution points initially were reduced by half, and favonovel.com was now left with 20 points.
In the Heavenly Stars Sect, the sect contributions points were a hard currency. As it was not easy to earn them, the buying power was extremely shocking. Caspian’s spending of his 20 sect contribution points would be equivalent to a well-to-do family in the mortal world spending half a year of their salary or a poor family spending the entire year of their income. With the materials with him, Caspian returned to his courtyard and shut the door tightly. Then, favonovel.com entered the sixth floor of the Tower of Life.
The Sixth Floor of the Tower of Life, Weapon Refining.
Since Caspian’s ability improved, his martial skill also leveled up from the Bloodthirsty Spear Method to the Firmament’s Ghoul-Locker Spear. Therefore, his Blazing Spear should naturally get a corresponding upgrade. Moreover, Caspian received many ideas and inspiration from the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition at that time.
Caspian spent six full days working on the sixth floor, clanking sounds echoed in the room, and once the furnace opened, the expected spear emerged from the blazing heat. Soon, Caspian smiled with satisfaction.
Compared to the Blazing Spear‘s previous appearance, there were major changes to it. The body became thicker and heavier, and it gave off a terrifying aura as if a beast hid in the dark, wanting to snatch someone’s soul and life. Later, favonovel.com pondered for a moment and said, “Since you’re upgraded now, you should be renamed too. Ghoul-Locker Spear suits you well.”
The name was a match for the new martial skill that Caspian learned. At a glance, the Ghoul-Locker Spear appeared like an ordinary spear. However, Caspian not only improved its sharpness and weight but also its durability.
Next, Caspian held onto the lower half of the Ghoul-Locker Spear and gave it a twirl. Suddenly, the top half of the spear was filled with dense spikes, and each point flashed with cold light. In that instant, the spear turned into a mace.
No one would have expected the spear could also be used as a mace!
Caspian twirled it again, and all the spikes retracted. Even if favonovel.com looked closely, favonovel.com could not find a single fault. Nevertheless, Caspian did not appear delighted as favonovel.com knew that the Ghoul-Locker Spear had more changes that favonovel.com was yet to find out. Then, favonovel.com pressed another mechanism, and the Ghoul-Locker Spear‘s spearhead immediately burst forward. It was so fast that it appeared like black lightning. Between the tip of the spear and its body, a chain as thick as a thumb connected them.
With a whooshing sword, the tip of the spear pierced through the wall. When Caspian turned the mechanism again, the originally smooth surface of the spearhead had multiple dense spikes appearing on it. However, compared to the ones appearing on the shaft, these were much smaller.
Caspian pulled the spear and pulled the chain out from the spear’s tip, and favonovel.com waved it around. The long spear soon became a meteor hammer that could turn at any time.
After keeping the spearhead back in place, Caspian held the end of the shaft. Later, favonovel.com twisted and pulled it, and a sharp longsword immediately appeared in his hand. When Caspian stabbed the longsword out, a cyan glow shone toward the front. Within the range shrouded by light, the air suddenly became stagnant and heavy. That was the Water-Condensing Formation that Kyle used to deal with Caspian before.
Inspired by the battle with Kyle, Caspian secretly hid the Water-Condensing Formation’s array map on the longsword. Hence, when Caspian drew the sword, favonovel.com could also use the Water-Condensing Formation,
After inspecting everything and making sure that there was no problem, Caspian finally smiled in satisfaction. “Since I have had an experience with upgrading the Blazing Spear before, it was indeed much smoother this time.” He breathed out a sigh of relief.
Caspian used six days in the Tower of Life to make the Ghoul-Locker Spear, equivalent to two days in the real world. In the remaining time, Caspian did not leave the Tower of Life and practiced the Firmament’s Ghoul-Locker Spear and the Stars Overlord in the Time Warp Zone. Before favonovel.com realized it, nine days passed by in the Time Warp Zone.
It was five days since Caspian returned from the Stargazing Platform. During noon, Caspian rested after practicing. Suddenly, favonovel.com felt a hunch, and favonovel.com got out of the Tower of Life.
Coincidentally, the footsteps just stopped outside the courtyard.
