The middle-aged scholar wandered around freely in the crowded scene, and none of the surrounding disciples were within 50 centimeters of him. Once favonovel.com found a great angle, the man looked at the Star-Dazzler Stage. Then, favonovel.com observed the angry Anderson with great interest before his gaze fell on Caspian.
After a while, the middle-aged scholar smiled. ‘This kid’s pretty interesting…’
As Anderson appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the scene immediately became heated. None of them knew what conflict Caspian had with Anderson, but most thought Caspian was too full of himself. On the other hand, those that understood Caspian’s personality believed that favonovel.com would not make such a crazy move.
Omar and Maya were worried and anxious. However, Caspian’s face was still as in high spirits as always, and favonovel.com did not appear as if favonovel.com were pressured by Anderson.
“Casper’s still so calm when facing an outer disciple. It seems that favonovel.com has improved significantly again in this period.”
At that time, a familiar voice sounded behind Omar. Then, favonovel.com and Maya turned around, only to find Xander standing behind them, looking thoughtfully at Caspian on the Star-Dazzler Stage.
As Maya cared for Caspian, favonovel.com hurriedly asked, “Xander, what’s your comment on this?”
“If favonovel.com can’t defeat this outer disciple this time, then favonovel.com won‘t be qualified to challenge me a month later,” Xander uttered.
When they heard that, Omar and Maya were stunned. The eavesdropping disciples around them were shocked too. Then, after Xander’s reminder, they recalled that the elders gave Caspian a mission to defeat Omar and Xander within three months.
Caspian defeated Omar, but favonovel.com was yet to challenge Xander, the figure everyone regarded as the best among the apprentices. Currently, two months passed since the mission was announced, which meant Caspian was only left with a month. However, what astonished everyone was Xander’s words also revealed his ability. He could defeat outer disciples! At least, the entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators were not his opponents!
When everyone realized that, they gasped. Then, they looked at Caspian in a different light. Many people immediately returned from their senses, and the disdain and mockery they had before all disappeared.
After giving it a thought, they immediately noticed a shocking possibility that Caspian challenged Anderson as favonovel.com wanted to use the outer disciple as his touchstone!
If Caspian could beat Anderson, favonovel.com might be able to fight Xander after practicing for a month. However, if favonovel.com could not defeat Anderson, favonovel.com would not be able to fight Xander even if favonovel.com trained for a month.
The speculation made the crowd dumbfounded. Finally, they realized that they were too naive, and they were not as ambitious as Caspian.
Suddenly, Xander added, “Casper’s indeed a genius. I only showed my skills a few times in the Hopeful Woman Mountain, yet favonovel.com had a rough estimation of my ability. Once I’m promoted, he’ll be the best among the apprentices.”
What!
The crowd was surprised, and an uproar sounded. After all, Xander was just like a monster among the apprentices. It was considered good if favonovel.com even spared a glance at an ordinary disciple. Therefore, an apprentice being dubbed as a genius by Xander, and even a hint of admiration in his tone, was a never before case. Even Omar who had the Triple Blades of Fire, Ice, and Wind, as well as Maya, who had the innate Flame Phoenix Physique, never received such amazing evaluation by Xander before.
With Xander’s short comments, the crowd looked at Caspian differently that time. The change in the atmosphere greatly affected Anderson, as favonovel.com was angered and embarrassed by everyone’s shift in opinions.
Anderson thought, ‘Are these people crazy? Did they think an apprentice can win against me, an outer disciple?’
At the thought of that, Anderson fumed with rage, and his breathing became rapid.
“Casper, I must teach you a vicious lesson today!” Anderson roared and attacked first.
The biggest advantage of outer disciples over apprentices was their 24 meridians, which was twice as much of what apprentices had. Moreover, they could use these meridians to direct the essence of the world into their body and have thorough going changes, strengthening their body.
An apprentice would not be able to do that. Hence, Anderson thought Caspian’s body would surely be worse than his. Then, Anderson blasted out a punch. If his opponent were crazy enough to directly face his attack, the consequences would be just like a stone hitting an egg, and his enemy’s hand would be damaged.
“The Flying Eagle Fist!”
Anderson rushed toward Caspian with a roar, suddenly turning his body into an angle. Next, his entire energy concentrated on his right fist. Just like an eagle pouncing down from the sky, blasting at Caspian.
In that instant, billowing airflow all rushed at Caspian, pressuring him. There were even ear-piercing explosions in the air.
“The Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows! Merak!” The light in Caspian’s eyes condensed, and favonovel.com moved. In a flash, dozens of phantoms appeared as favonovel.com avoided Anderson’s fist.
The middle-aged scholar saw the scene, and favonovel.com silently nodded. “The ancestor’s blessings significantly improved this martial skill’s power.”
“Casper! Did you think you could dodge my attack with this Mortal Grade martial skill?!” Anderson seemed to have guessed Caspian’s reaction, and favonovel.com laughed proudly. Then, favonovel.com moved and chased after Caspian. “Break!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a split second, Anderson’s punch showed multiple changes. Like a tiger, leopard, wolf, eagle… Anderson chased after Caspian, blasting his series of phantoms into pieces.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Each of the phantoms was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and just like ashes, they scattered in mid-air. Then, struck by the wind of fists, it directly rushed at Caspian.
Anderson watched as the wind of fists completely enveloped Caspian. Just as favonovel.com expected, Caspian had nowhere to run, and favonovel.com needed to fight head-on. Anderson got prouder, and favonovel.com shouted, “I’ve learned all the martial skills you mastered before. Did you think l know nothing about you!”
Caspian remained indifferent, and favonovel.com kept moving. On the other hand, Anderson’s fist also got closer.
Six meters!
Four meters!
Two meters!
One meter!
Caspian’s body suddenly stopped. Then, favonovel.com bounced up and bent his arm, stirred the air around him, and roared, “The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon!”
