Dakota took a deep breath, trying favonovel.com best to calm down. However, favonovel.com heart was still pounding hard. The reason was not only Leonard’s swordsman id entity or that Leonard recruited a disciple, but because Leonard was also a radical. He was the figure that could represent the radicals!
After Frankie, who represented the conservatives, accepted Adrian as his disciple, Hadley’s news seemed to imply that favonovel.com wanted to support the radicals. After the crippled master passed away, the radicals had one less person than the conservatives.
After pondering for a moment, Dakota looked in the direction Hadley left, thinking, “It seems that Hadley hasn’t decided yet, so he’s letting us handle the contradicting views ourselves as always. First, he’ll maintain the balance, and then it’s up to us.”
At the thought of that, Dakota’s eyes shined brilliantly. “The future of the Heavenly Stars Sect must be patched by the people of the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
***
The Star-Dazzler Stage‘s incident did not only make Caspian’s reputation soar among the apprentices, but many outer disciples also knew of his existence. Even though Anderson was ranked at the bottom among the outer disciples, favonovel.com was still an outer disciple. In other words, Caspian successfully defeated a disciple in the higher realm, and that was enough to make people secretly remember his name.
Caspian returned to the courtyard favonovel.com lived in, and favonovel.com received the rewards confiscated before the sunset. From that point of view, Adrian was considered honest as favonovel.com did not find other excuses. Nonetheless, it would be useless even if Adrian wanted to because Caspian defeated Anderson on the Star-Dazzler Stage, and it was not a corner where no one could see.
The apprentices and outer disciples that came were close to a thousand. With so many eyes watching Caspian crushing Anderson, Adrian would surely create a commotion if favonovel.com dared to go back on his words. Moreover, Adrian was just accepted as Frankie’s disciple, and that matter was not publicly announced yet. Hence, Adrian did not want to taint Frankie’s name and let himself be tragically rejected from being Frankie’s disciple as soon as favonovel.com was recruited. Therefore, Adrian sent someone to pass the rewards that should have belonged to Caspian since the beginning over even if favonovel.com was unwilling.
The rewards for killing monsters, the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, Tigreal, and Leo, included spirit stones, precious ingredients and materials, weapons, and martial skill. At that moment, they piled up on Caspian’s bed like a small hill.
The five goats that Caspian dragged into the house were dumbfounded when they saw the shiny pile of treasures, and they stood still on the spot, not making a sound. On the other hand, Little Candy widened its big curious eyes and got closer to the pile of items. Then, it used its paw to pull them with great interest.
“There is nothing particularly useful…” Caspian sat cross-legged, reaching out and taking the hobbling Little Candy into his arms. However, Little Candy seemed to have found something interesting and was just about to take a closer look, but Caspian immediately carried it. It immediately whimpered in dissatisfaction. Unfortunately for Little Candy, its current strength was still incomparable to Caspian‘s, and it could not break free from his grip.
‘Spirit stones! Hmm… I can eat them. Now that I’m in peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm, I can accumulate more and do my best to rush to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm in three months,’ Caspian thought as favonovel.com took a piece of spirit stone and swallowed it.
As for the precious ingredients and materials, Caspian flicked his sleeve and placed them all in the Earring of Echo. After all, there were too many things, and his storage bag could not fit them all. These materials included inscriptions, formations, and equipment. Although there were no particularly rare ingredients, they were generally sufficient.
Next, Caspian glanced at the weapons and decided to extract them for tool refinement. Caspian used an almost spirit tool, and the highest-ranking weapon rewarded by the Heavenly Stars Sect was only seventh-grade. Caspian could not put the Ghoul-Locker Spear aside and use the seventh-grade weapon, which was not much stronger than his physical body.
Finally, Caspian’s gaze fell onto the martial skill rewarded for the mission.
“The Great Leisure Court… It’s a body technique.”
Caspian picked up the book and flipped through it. In that instant, his eyes lit up. The only body technique favonovel.com mastered before was the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows. When Caspian obtained the book in Evergreen Town’s Lawrence family, it was rated as middle-rank Mortal Grade skill as its cultivation method was incomplete.
After practicing it, Caspian could tell that the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadow’s actual level should be low-rank Earth Grade. Later, even though the skill received the Heavenly Stars Sect’s founder‘s blessing and improved, coupled with Caspian’s deeper understanding of the change in space due to the White Tiger’s blood, the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows’ was still limited by its grade. Hence, Caspian might want to improve his body technique again, but there was no room for favonovel.com to go further.
Based on Caspian’s estimation, even if favonovel.com utilized the founder‘s blessings and the White Tiger’s blood essence well, the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows’ current power would increase by 20%, which would be the limit of that body technique.
It was obvious that Caspian was unwilling to meet such a situation. Before that, Caspian considered whether favonovel.com should use his sect contribution points to exchange for a higher-level body technique. However, once the Heavenly Stars Sect’s martial skill reached the mid-rank Earth Grade, it would require more contribution points. If Caspian wanted to use the contribution points to exchange for martial skill, favonovel.com would naturally have to reduce the cultivation resources favonovel.com needed. Nonetheless, the reward that time greatly helped to solve that problem.
The Great Leisure Court. A high-rank Earth Grade martial skill. It was a level higher than Caspian’s expected mid-rank Earth Grade martial art.
“Not bad at all.” Caspian nodded. From his point of view, that martial skill was the one that would help favonovel.com the most of all the rewards.
After feeding Little Candy, Caspian placed the cub back into the Earring of Echo, whereas favonovel.com returned to the Tower of Life’s Time Warp Zone and started practicing the martial skill.
Three days in real life would be nine days in the Time Warp Zone, and Caspian already completed the Great Leisure Court’s first training, Shrinking the Distance.
Even though Caspian could also run a few meters in a blink of an eye, that was achieved by speed. However, the Great Leisure Court’s trick was different, and it secretly contained the law of space. Initially, Caspian would be from a spot rushing to another, and if someone blocked his path, favonovel.com would stop. However, Shrinking the Distance was different. By using the law of space, Caspian was equivalent to directly reaching the target location from the original location. As it was too fast, everyone would feel as if favonovel.com shrunk the distance, and even if there were a wall in the middle, it would not stop Caspian. That would be the ideal situation. With Caspian’s current realm, favonovel.com would surely be affected slightly if there was a blockage in between when favonovel.com used the skill.
