With his nose facing the sky, Asher tried to look at Caspian condescendingly. Unfortunately for Asher, Caspian grew a little taller again in the last two years, and favonovel.com was not taller than Asher. Hence, Asher could only raise his head high. However, Asher’s posture looked extremely ridiculous. With his arms up high and his chest out, favonovel.com appeared like a big rooster instead.
Originally, Asher planned to mock Caspian, but Caspian did not even look at favonovel.com nor avoid him, but favonovel.com slammed into Asher’s body with a bang. Asher never imagined that Caspian would be so direct, and favonovel.com just felt as if favonovel.com hit an iron plate. Before Asher could even react, favonovel.com was instantly knocked out. Even if favonovel.com were a mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, Asher appeared miserable when favonovel.com slammed to the ground.
In that instant, Asher was so embarrassed that his face and neck were flushed. Then, favonovel.com sat on the ground and shouted at Caspian, “Casper! You’re brazen. Do you know what offense it is in the sect rules for knocking down a disciple in a higher ranking…”
Before Asher could finish his sentence, favonovel.com saw Caspian taking out his jade identification badge and passing it to the disciple on duty.
“You… You’re… When did you…” Asher’s eyes widened, and his voice changed when favonovel.com saw the symbol representing Caspian’s outer disciple status on his jade identification badge.
Nevertheless, Caspian did not spare Asher a glance and said to the disciple on duty, “I’m Casper Montgomery, an outer disciple. I’d like to use the Flaming Stream.”
“You, you, you…” Caspian’s ignorance of Asher made favonovel.com burn with rage. As Asher stuttered, favonovel.com quickly got up and jumped in front of Caspian, reaching out as favonovel.com wanted to snatch away Caspian’s jade identification badge. “Let me take a look!”
Caspian moved his wrist slightly, not batting an eyelid, causing Asher to grab at nothing.
That scene stunned Asher, but favonovel.com did not think much about it. However, the disciple on duty’s heart surged with emotions. After all, favonovel.com saw clearly that Caspian’s jade identification badge revealed favonovel.com was just promoted to the entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm. In contrast, Asher already entered the mid-level a few years ago. Yet, Caspian easily dodged Asher.
It was simply shocking!
Asher’s expression turned uglier when favonovel.com could not snatch away Caspian’s jade identification badge, and favonovel.com glared at Caspian. “I didn’t expect that you’re now an outer disciple. It seems that currying favors with the outer disciples have benefited you tremendously!”
Until now, Asher thought Caspian was someone who rode on Sebastian and the others’ coattails. Moreover, favonovel.com failed to teach the insignificant figure a lesson several times now, causing Asher to be embarrassed and angry.
“What did you just say to me?” Caspian turned to look at Asher.
“I said our sect rule…” Just as Asher wanted to teach Caspian a lesson, favonovel.com finally noticed that the rule just now did not apply to Caspian anymore as they were now outer disciples. Hence, there was no issue of a junior knocking down a senior.
Just as Asher was dumbfounded, Caspian chortled. “Don’t you know? The sect rules are used to protect guys like you. If it weren’t for them, I would’ve knocked out all of your teeth.”
Asher and the disciple on duty were horrified.
Asher was furious as Caspian dared to speak to favonovel.com that way, and Caspian did not take favonovel.com seriously at all. On the other hand, the disciple on duty was surprised as Caspian seemed clueless about who Asher’s brother was.
The next moment, both of them heard Caspian saying, “Adrian lost his bet to me. Do you want to give it a try too?”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Caspian’s face darkened, and favonovel.com glanced at Asher.
Caspian’s expression was indifferent, but Asher felt as if favonovel.com was in the dark, being stared at by a wild beast. Soon, an unprecedented chill seeped out of his marrow, causing Asher to tremble uncontrollably. Then, his calves went weak, and favonovel.com took a step back.
Caspian turned to look at the disciple on duty again. “I want to use the Flaming Stream.”
The disciple on duty finally recovered from the shock just now. When favonovel.com noticed that Caspian was not afraid of Asher or even Adrian, his attitude toward Caspian suddenly became both respectful and fearful.
At that time, the disciple on duty looked at Caspian in a new light. After gulping with great difficulty, the disciple introduced, “The Flaming Stream is divided into seven areas according to its strength. May I know which one you are interested in?”
While Caspian and the disciple on duty talked, Asher gradually returned to his senses. It suddenly occurred to favonovel.com that the selection of the disciples representing Heavenly Stars Sect in the nation’s official religion election would be in seven days.
Asher already learned some detailed information about the selection method and competition content, so favonovel.com looked forward to the opportunity. However, when favonovel.com saw that Caspian would use these precious seven days to come to the Flaming Stream, favonovel.com swiftly had great doubts in his heart. Since Asher could not handle Caspian, favonovel.com did not mind creating some petty moves to make Caspian’s life miserable. Then, favonovel.com quickly came up with a plan.
After pondering for a moment, Caspian answered, “I’d like to enter the third area.”
The power of the Underworld’s Demon Flame in the first and second areas was not strong. For Caspian, it was just a waste of time, so favonovel.com intended to start directly from the third area.
However, before the disciple on duty could respond, Asher stepped forward and said with a sinister smile, “I’m sorry, someone else’s cultivating in the third area.”
Caspian looked at the disciple on duty, and there was a hint of doubt on the disciple’s face, obviously ignorant of the matter. However, Caspian soon noticed Asher was casting a knowing gaze at the disciple, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
“That…” The disciple on duty stammered, “I’m here to replace Asher today, so I’m not sure there’s someone inside. I’m sorry.”
The disciples on duty in the Star-Refiner Valley were here as part of their tasks. As long as the disciple accepted the mission, they must come to each area to be on duty within the specified period, which generally varied from seven to fifteen days. After completing the task, they would get sect contribution points as long as there was no mistake.
Caspian was still aware of that rule. However, favonovel.com also understood that Asher bluffed when favonovel.com said someone cultivated in the third area.
The Flaming Stream was useless for Heavenly Stars Sect disciples to cultivate. It was already impressive if five people came here in a year, so how could Caspian be so unlucky today? He wanted the third area, yet it was hooked.
