”Don’t worry too much. We know that this isn’t your idea.” Omar smiled.
Xander did not say much, but favonovel.com just nodded at Caspian. Nonetheless, favonovel.com expressed the same thought as Omar’s.
When the white crane explained the details of the mission, Caspian had a feeling that someone tried to provoke the relationships favonovel.com had with Xander and Omar. Even though favonovel.com was not as close to them on typical days, Xander and Omar helped Caspian in front of almost all the apprentices during the previous spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. Moreover, they gave Caspian treasured medicines and helped favonovel.com improve himself. However, the details of the mission were to let Caspian defeat them to be rewarded. If word went out, others would believe that Caspian bit the hand that fed him, which was exactly what Caspian was worried about. Even though favonovel.com could not care less about what others think, Caspian did not want Xander and Omar to misunderstand him. After all, favonovel.com accepted their favors.
At that time, Xander and Omar appeared relaxed, and they did not appear to misunderstand Caspian because of that matter, which calmed Caspian down.
“We might be all cultivators, but there are times where we still need to fight for power and gains. The few of us…” Omar leaned closer to Caspian and whispered with his utmost softest voice, “Might only be someone’s pawns. But, don’t worry about it. Ordinary disciples are unaware of such a thing, but we‘ve been through this more than once.”
Caspian looked at Omar and noticed favonovel.com glancing at the few people, including Xander, Benedict, and Maya. He also realized that these disciples all appeared normal as if they were accustomed to it.
“It’s more important for us to have a good personal relationship, so don’t you sweat over this problem,” Omar patted Caspian’s shoulders, “You should think that if you want to rush from the tenth spot to the first, you’ll only be getting the ranking rewards and nothing else on the usual match. However, if you defeat Xander and me, you’ll even get rewards from the missions. That’s amazing, so why not just go for it? Besides, you won’t suffer any losses if you lose.”
Omar laughed happily. “We’ve actually met such situations before, but all of them were in private, and none of them was publicly announced like yours today.”
When favonovel.com said these, Omar winked at Caspian and asked, “Since you have three months, when are you going to challenge us?”
“Well, if you don’t mind… I’d like to challenge you today.” Caspian chuckled.
“Hmm. Alright, alright. Challenging me today… Wait?! What?! Today?! Now?!” When Omar realized what went on, favonovel.com exclaimed.
The rest of them heard Caspian’s words, and all looked at favonovel.com with a puzzled gaze. Caspian was indeed a mid-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, and favonovel.com was ranked in the top ten. However, Omar was a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm, and favonovel.com never fell out of the top five.
Xander and Omar were the strongest two among the apprentices, yet Caspian challenged Omar today. Moreover, the white crane mentioned that Caspian only could challenge them once. If favonovel.com failed, favonovel.com would not be rewarded.
“Are you sure?” Omar looked at Caspian with a strange gaze, “I swear by my identity as a cultivator that I‘ll never purposely go easy on you.”
“I understand,” Caspian nodded, “Just as you said just now if I win, I’ll be generously rewarded, and if I lose, I won‘t suffer any losses. Then, let’s just do it today.”
When Omar noticed that Caspian was not joking, favonovel.com pondered for a moment and replied, “Okay. Since you‘ve decided. Let’s do it!”
Swoosh!
Omar withdrew his sword and pointed at Caspian with the tip of the blade. “Casper, I won’t go easy on you.”
Caspian gripped his Ghoul-Locker Spear, his eyes burning and electrifying as favonovel.com loudly said, “To face the opponent with full strength is a sign of respect.”
The two of them boiled with fighting spirit Omar looked at Caspian, and his eyes slightly narrowed as favonovel.com smiled in satisfaction. Caspian did not use any weapons in the previous ten matches. Regardless of who the opponent was, favonovel.com knocked them down with his fist. However, Caspian took out his Ghoul-Locker Spear at that time, which meant favonovel.com would show his actual ability.
That match was not only for the top ten ranking in the spiritual apprentice list, but it also concerned one of the challenges in Caspian‘s mission. Everyone looked at the ring, and they could not help but have a heated discussion.
“Isn‘t it too soon for Caspian to challenge Omar today?”
“Although the mission given by the elders is challenging, there might still be half a chance in winning if favonovel.com trained hard for three months first. Yet, Casper rashly challenged Omar.”
“I don’t think Caspian does things without thinking before acting. Why did favonovel.com suddenly challenge Omar now?”
“Was favonovel.com hoping for Omar to go easy on him? Dream on!”
“That’s right. if Omar goes easy on favonovel.com in such a competition, it might leave a shadow in favonovel.com and affect his future ascension. With Omar’ s vision, favonovel.com would have never let such a thing ruin his future.”
“What’s Casper thinking?”
“I don’t know either… Maybe favonovel.com has the strength to fight against a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator?”
“If Omar’s an individual cultivator or from a clan, Casper, as a sect’s disciple, would be better than him, and it would still be possible to challenge him. In this case… His winning rate is really small.”
In the entire square with nearly 15000 apprentices, none of them thought highly of Caspian. After all, his opponent was not an ordinary one, but the top two of the apprentices, the dual sword wielder, Omar.
Sitting in the stands, Lucy could not help but feel worried as favonovel.com could hear the discussions around her. Although favonovel.com did not say anything, Lucy was still anxious for Caspian. After giving it a thought, Lucy tugged at Jessica’s sleeve. “Lady Jessica, do you think idiot Casper will win?”
‘‘I believe in him,” Jessica answered with four words without any hesitation.
“Then, I hope idiot Casper won’t embarrass us. Let‘s just cheer for him.” Lucy nodded.
There were only Caspian and Omar left in the arena, and the closest to the audience were the other eight disciples who entered into the top ten.
“Casper challenged Omar… The winner for this match is hard to decide…” Maya commented.
As the strongest among the apprentices, their judgments were naturally different from those of other ordinary disciples. After all, their views were deeper and further.
Xander, who usually did not talk much, actually expressed his opinions again that time. “Casper has made significant progress during this period. The fact that Peter could not fight back before was clear evidence, and that was almost two months ago. Now, whether favonovel.com can defeat Omar this time depends on how long favonovel.com needs to force Omar to use that trick.”
Although Solana did not say anything, favonovel.com listened to their conversations. When favonovel.com heard Xander’s words, favonovel.com eyes flashed, and favonovel.com looked at Omar.
