When Caspian noticed that Omar appeared strange, favonovel.com asked in confusion, “Hmm? What is it?”
Omar became somewhat anxious. “Casper, have you ever offended a senior among the outer disciples, Asher Klum?”
“What’s with him?” Caspian got even more puzzled, “I don’t think I offended him.”
“That’s great, but…”
Then, just as Omar breathed a sigh of relief, favonovel.com heard Caspian continue saying, “To be more accurate, favonovel.com hates me to the core.”
“What?” Omar was so shocked that his mouth was wide open, and favonovel.com stuttered, “What… What happened?”
Caspian laughed. “I think you’re asking the wrong person, but it’s not important. Omar, why don’t you just tell me what happened?”
In the previous dispute regarding the Hopeful Woman Mountain’s reward, Adrian only targeted Caspian, and the people who knew about it were Maisie, Sebastian, Heidi, and the others. Omar and the rest were unaware of the matter. However, since they knew about it, Caspian immediately understood that Asher made a move to counter the loss favonovel.com suffered yesterday.
After calming himself down, Omar explained, “Well, yesterday Asher gave an order that anyone who breaks either one of your hands or legs during the competition in Elenion, the City of Ruins, will be awarded 50 spirit stones. Moreover, favonovel.com also said that favonovel.com wanted to make you handicapped so you can never go further in your life.”
Caspian’s eyes flickered, and favonovel.com asked with curiosity, “He said that?”
Omar had a worried look on his face. “It’s true! Asher’s only a mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple, and there’s nothing to worry about. However, his younger brother is an outstanding figure…”
Omar babbled because favonovel.com cared about Caspian, but Caspian was secretly sneering at Asher, thinking, “Since the last incident, Adrian’s tail is between his legs, and favonovel.com has acted extra cautiously. Yet, Asher’s making such a statement now, and everyone even knows about it. I bet l don’t have to do anything, and Adrian will skin Asher himself.”
Nonetheless, despite thinking that way, Caspian still comforted Omar, “Don’t worry about it, Omar. Nothing will happen. Besides, Elenion is so big, and favonovel.com might not be able to find me at that time.”
“It makes sense for you to say so, but it’s better to be careful. As far as I know, Asher’s reputation among the outer disciples is quite bad. Any disciples that offended favonovel.com would surely end up in a miserable situation, “Omar patted his chest, “However, you don’t have to be afraid. Casper, none of us are weaklings. Anyone who mistreats you is also offending us at the same time. Hasn’t Adrian heard of the saying, don’t bully the young ones, and every dog has its day.”
Caspian wanted to tell Omar that they could not use the sentence on Adrian as Adrian was younger than them. Moreover, a teenager said the same thing to Caspian when favonovel.com visited Solana’s home, thinking that favonovel.com was the passionate protagonist in the novel. In the end, the boy was slashed into two parts by Caspian. Hence, it was better not to say much before succeeding in the said matter. Nonetheless, Caspian did not dampen Omar’s enthusiasm as favonovel.com was indeed a loyal friend. At that time, Caspian already guessed that Heidi, Maya, and the others went to find favonovel.com not only to notify favonovel.com about the release of the competition rules but also Asher’s remarks.
Everyone’s concern for favonovel.com made Caspian’s feel warm inside. Now that favonovel.com gave it a thought, entering the Heavenly Stars Sect and becoming a cultivator was an important turning point in his life, but making sincere and loyal friends was equally significant too! Moreover, Caspian could even assert that if favonovel.com encountered any danger in the future, the most trustworthy people were these friends.
As his mind was filled with thoughts, Caspian continued walking and soon arrived at the Star-Refiner Valley’s Flaming Stream. Sure enough, the disciple on duty was still the same person yesterday.
When the disciple on duty noticed that Caspian did not come in the morning, favonovel.com recalled how weak Caspian was yesterday, and estimated that it might take at least five days for Caspian to recover fully. If that was the case, Caspian could not participate in the competition in Elenion, the city of ruins. Yet, Caspian appeared in high spirits in the early afternoon, as if favonovel.com were not in the state of a frail, wandering soul yesterday. The disciple on duty was filled with surprise and admiration. Suddenly, his attitude while speaking to Caspian also turned more respectful.
“I want to practice a little longer today, about two hours longer than yesterday.” After Caspian finished his request, favonovel.com once again came to the boulder gate in the seventh area.
“I went through such an excruciating torment yesterday, and I want to see the result.” Caspian took a deep breath and strode into the place. Then, the gate closed with a bang.
The familiar purple flames rushed toward Caspian, and favonovel.com smiled faintly. Today, favonovel.com did not even stretch out his hand but just sat cross-legged and let the fire cover him. The sharp pain spread all over Caspian’s body as soon as the flames touched his skin. Caspian frowned and gritted his teeth hard, as his body even trembled uncontrollably.
These were all the instinctive reactions that people showed when they experienced pain. However, Caspian felt that the pain that day was significantly less than the day before.
“The Immortal Demon Physique isn’t only resistant to physical attacks by swords but also an ever-increasing defense against this kind of strange fire!” Caspian was overjoyed.
As the discovery was confirmed, Caspian was instantly relieved. For a while, even the pain on his body was lessened once again.
When the first wave of the Underworld’s Demon Flame went out yesterday, Caspian was so tired that favonovel.com collapsed. Yet, when the first wave of fire went out today, Caspian still sat firmly cross-legged, and the sweat dripping out of his body was not as terrible as yesterday.
“Yesterday, I managed to endure four waves of flames. Let’s see how many waves I can withstand today.”
His performance after the first wave made Caspian feel more confident. When the second wave of flames ended, Caspian gasped for breath. Although favonovel.com still sat, favonovel.com shook as if a gust of wind could blow favonovel.com down.
“I… I can hold on a little longer.”
Caspian tried his best to open his eyes, gathering his strength. Then, favonovel.com looked toward the third wave of the Underworld’s Demon Flame ahead.
“The third wave!”
The purple flames once again covered his whole body. Caspian felt as if the pain that time increased at least twenty times compared to the first wave, and favonovel.com almost rolled on the floor in pain, but favonovel.com still resisted. At the same time, a bizarre sensation climbed up from Caspian’s spine to his crown, as if something was about to spew out!
