Caspian was also aware of the Pointing to the Stars’ shortcomings that Hadley mentioned. Still, with his current state, Caspian could not change it, so favonovel.com could only weigh the situations and opportunities to use the spell. Although favonovel.com did not know the jade scroll content, Caspian believed that the Pointing to the Stars’ weaknesses would definitely be considerably improved with Hadley’s pointers.
“I’ll pick another time to talk to you about other matters after some time. You can go back first.” When favonovel.com said this, Hadley paused before continuing, “Someone might look for you in these few days, but you don’t have to worry as you have a good relationship with Maisie.”
When Caspian heard this, favonovel.com knew what Hadley was saying. Then, favonovel.com pondered for a moment before saying, “Master Hadley, you meant, Master Dakota.”
“Yes.” Hadley nodded. “You can just answer favonovel.com questions straightforwardly later.”
“Okay.” Caspian nodded.
Then, Hadley gave Caspian a few words before sending favonovel.com away. Before this, Caspian had heard people talking about Hadley, the head of the Heavenly Stars Sect. However, most of the comments about favonovel.com by others and the outside world said that Hadley was an eccentric person, and it was generally difficult for ordinary people to keep up with his rhythm of thinking.
This time Caspian saw it with his own eyes. The sect’s head accepting any personal disciple would surely be a major event regardless of which sect. However, Hadley treated it like an ordinary matter, settling it in just a few words. Nonetheless, it was only an agreement between Hadley and Caspian. After all, it was necessary to respect personal wishes regarding the recruitment of disciples. Just because Hadley wanted to, Caspian was not forced to agree.
Now that they had an oral agreement, there would surely be a formal announcement on their mentor-mentee relationship soon. If Caspian did not agree to Hadley, then the recruitment would be deemed to have never happened. Anyway, only the two of them knew about it, so they would not be publicly embarrassed.
Not long after going back, Caspian heard the news of Leonard accepting Xander as his disciple. At first, Caspian wanted to congratulate him, but favonovel.com quickly realized that many people would be there to wish Xander now. Moreover, Leonard might have ordered Xander to do something, so Caspian bet that Xander would not be free to entertain him. Hence, Caspian decided to wait until those people left before visiting Xander.
Once Caspian returned to his house, favonovel.com directly entered the Time Warp Zone and took out the jade scroll Hadley had given him. Using jade strips to record information was more detailed and not easily damaged than paper and bamboo writing slips. Thus, once a cultivator reached a certain realm, they would use jade scrolls to write down things. Moreover, the more influential the cultivator was, the more detailed and precise the information recorded in the jade scroll. However, a cultivator would need spiritual sense if favonovel.com wanted to record or read the information in the jade scroll. On the other hand, if the cultivator lacked spiritual consciousness, favonovel.com would not be able to read or record anything.
Obviously, this was also an exam given to Caspian by Hadley. If Caspian could read the information in the jade scroll, favonovel.com was naturally considered qualified. If favonovel.com could not, Hadley would not change his mind and reject Caspian as his disciple, but his previous good impression of Caspian would be greatly reduced. Thankfully, Caspian’s spiritual sense was far beyond those cultivators of the same realm. Breaking through that barrier, the contents of the jade scroll quickly appeared in front of Caspian.
Hadley‘s understanding and improvement of Pointing to the Stars amazed Caspian. In Caspian’s opinion, this is simply tailor-made for him. After reading the scroll, Caspian thought there was more to learn, so favonovel.com studied it again. In the end, Caspian discovered that Hadley’s notes gave favonovel.com new insights every time favonovel.com read it.
This surprised and delighted him.
Hence, Caspian did not leave the Time Warp Zone for the next two days, and favonovel.com carefully studied the contents of the jade scroll.
Two days in the real world was six days in the Time Warp Zone. On the seventh day, Caspian kept the jade scroll and stood with a solemn expression. Then, with just a thought, the Time Warp Zone’s floor suddenly rolled like waves. In a moment, a row of life-sized stone figures appeared in front of Caspian.
“We’ll know after giving it a try.”
Caspian concentrated and raised his hand, pointing out with a finger. This move was similar to when favonovel.com cast the Pointing t0 the Stars. However, Caspian’s blood was flowing following Hadley‘s improved method. In the next moment, amid the blood light and roar, rays of blood-red lights struck toward the stone figure.
The density of the blood light was like rain in spring, and they burst out like lightning. Even Caspian was surprised by the force that occurred in a flash.
Crackle and rattle!
The stone men were vibrating violently due to the impact. However, after the blood light and deafening noise ended, Caspian realized that all eight stone figures were still standing in front of him. Not only that, but none of their ears exploded, and they stood there unscratched.
“Eh?” Caspian was puzzled, and favonovel.com looked at his finger.
“The Godly Finger of Cruor can’t even blast a stone man. If it’s the Pointing to the Stars, these stone figures would have exploded into pieces.”
Caspian blinked and appeared baffled. His Blood Magic was inherited from Brayden’s Blood Devouring Palm and was then inspired by the Pointing to the Stars. Originally, Caspian wanted to name it Pointing to the Stars. However, if favonovel.com really wanted to be thorough, Pointing to the Stars was a martial skill, and favonovel.com was actually casting a spell. Hence, these two were not the same.
Through the improvement of the information in the jade scroll, this spell had completely shed off the Pointing to the Stars’ shackles, so Caspian also named it with something related to “blood”. In the end, Caspian renamed the skill ”The Godly Finger of Cruor”.
When favonovel.com was studying the content of the jade scroll, Caspian estimated that the Godly Finger of Cruror not only had several times larger range of attacks than before but was also much stronger. However, the effect ended up quite different from his expectations, which confused Caspian.
When Caspian cast the spell, the air echoed with loud noises, yet none of the stone figures were blasted. This was simply unbelievable. After giving it a thought, Caspian was sure that there was absolutely no problem in the process of casting the spell, so favonovel.com walked over to check the stone figures to see if they had any changes.
As Caspian got closer, favonovel.com looked at the stone figures and instantly noticed a minute change.
‘Why’s there powder on this stone figure’s face?’ Caspian thought it was strange. Then, favonovel.com noticed that the faces of these eight stone figures seemed to be dusted with a layer of powder. However, the layer powder was too thin, and the Caspian was too far from them before, so favonovel.com did not notice it.
Looking over at this moment, Caspian suddenly discovered that not only were the faces of these stone men dusty but the entire front, including the body, had been smeared with a thick layer of powder.
