When Caspian put the Scented Phantom Cat’s corpse on the fire, Hadley and Leonard were in a sacred spot in the depths of Heavenly Stars Sect, watching the screen in front of them with surprise. On the screen, Caspian turned the branch in his hand. The initially bloody corpse was now golden brown, which looked very appetizing.
“This… This is edible?” Leonard turned to look at the stupefied Hadley.
Logically, one of them was the prestigious head of the Heavenly Stars Sect, and the other was an elder that went through countless life and death situations. Hence, what else did they not see before?
Even if the mountains collapsed and the seas stopped moving, they would not be surprised. However, Caspian’s incredible appetite stunned them. Hadley watched the screen where Caspian took a big bite and chewed hard. Then, favonovel.com hesitated and answered, “Should be… Fine…”
After some time, Leonard finally commented with great difficulty, “Don’t you think this disciple had an extraordinary appetite…”
Leonard still appeared as if favonovel.com were in his late-twenties as the Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators had the skill to retain youth.
Hadley glanced at Caspian on the screen, and favonovel.com looked at Leonard’s complicated expression, saying, “Is that a compliment?”
“Somewhat… ” Leonard thought about it and nodded, “At least, this is the first time I’ve seen a disciple who enters the Valley of Death for trial and eats the monster favonovel.com hunts. Moreover, favonovel.com didn’t even add anything and directly roasted it for consumption.”
Although the flesh and blood of monsters were effective for cultivators to replenish vitality, only some of the species could be consumed by cultivators. After all, most of the monsters had thick skin and flesh, making it hard to chew, and they did not taste great either. Besides, cultivators could replenish their Qi and blood through precious medicines. Therefore, cultivators that reached the Pulse Control Realm would usually get the skin, claws, muscles, or bones of the monsters they hunted. Someone like Caspian, who gorged heartily and without hesitation, was rare. Otherwise, Hadley and Leonard would not be shocked.
“What about his strength?” Hadley asked again.
That time, Leonard thought about the question for a long time before finally answering, “He has the realm of an apprentice but the strength of an outer disciple… In the last fifty years, only two people have done it. Even you and I can’t do it so graciously.”
“What about Xander?” Hadley continued.
Leonard looked at Hadley with a curious gaze, “Hadley, aren’t you busy every day? Why do you know so much about the candidates among the apprentices?”
Hadley only smiled but did not answer Leonard. However, from his expression, Leonard already had a rough estimation. As the person in charge of the sect, Hadley had to consider much more than others could imagine.
For conservatives and radicals to compete more harmoniously, Hadley must pay attention to every decision made by these two factions as that was a significant event related to the future development of the Heavenly Stars Sect. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not have deigned and watched the fight between an apprentice and an outer disciple.
After a moment of silence, Leonard nodded. “I’ll pay attention to both of them.”
Hadley chuckled. “If you continue, you should be more careful. Otherwise, the incident where the leader and elder spying on the disciples will be spread out, and it will be too embarrassing.”
When Leonard heard that, favonovel.com also laughed. Then, the two of them looked at each other before watching Caspian again on the screen with a profound look in their eyes.
At that time, Caspian ignored the roasted meat scorching his mouth. The meat was all eaten in a few crunches, and favonovel.com started the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale. Not long after, the eighth-grade monster’s Qi and blood were fully absorbed. Then, favonovel.com stood and took a spirit stone, swallowing it.
When Caspian went to see Maisie last time, favonovel.com gave most of his spirit stones to her, and favonovel.com kept dozens of pieces for his trip to the Valley of Death.
Caspian did not stop for about a day and a half and kept rushing. During that period, favonovel.com got in touch with Xander, Omar, Maya, and Solana. Everyone was scattered throughout the Valley of Death. Except for Caspian, who was unlucky at first and fell into the Rotten Mud Swamp, everyone was in a good location, but they were far apart. After knowing each other’s location, everyone reported each other’s place every other day as agreed, and there was not much else to inform. After all, although there were mostly monsters in Valley of Death, Caspian and the others were also the outstanding figures among the apprentices. Therefore, if there were no major accidents, there would be no danger.
When they learned that Caspian killed a level eight monster from the beginning, everyone expressed their envy. After all, a level eight monster was equivalent to a third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator. However, the Scented Phantom Cats were an exception as it had a weak body and mainly relied on toxins to stun its prey before killing it.
Without relying on these factors, the combat power of the Scented Phantom Cat was not much different from a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator. Due to that, the Heavenly Stars Sect allowed such eighth-grade monsters in Valley of Death. If it were other species, the apprentices that entered Valley of Death for trial would never leave alive.
As for the current Caspian, if favonovel.com encountered another level eight monster, favonovel.com would not be able to escape, let alone lure the monster and kill it. Apart from the Scented Phantom Cats and a few other monsters, most of them were only level one to three, which ordinary apprentices could deal with.
After a day and a half, Caspian finally saw his destination, the Lost Soul River, from a distance. Even from far away, Caspian could hear the sound of the river flowing, and there was an extra hint of freshness in the air. Caspian, who ran around in the Rotten Mud Swamp for more than a day, suddenly felt energetic.
“Next, it’s time for action!”
Then, walking to a place not far from the Lost Soul River, Caspian watched the blue river, and his eyes shone with brilliance. When Caspian found that the Valley of Death trial was about to start, Caspian’s first goal was Lost Soul River as there was something favonovel.com needed her!
After Caspian observed the surroundings, favonovel.com started to arrange the place. First, Caspian spent half of his day setting up formations, and favonovel.com sat cross-legged about 300 meters away from the Lost Soul River. Next, favonovel.com meditated until the sun rose.
The long-distance and non-stop running, as well as the formations that required total concentration, gave Caspian a good night’s rest. Only by doing that could favonovel.com meet the next battle, a battle of protraction, in his best state.
