Asher did not dare push his luck anymore when favonovel.com saw that Adrian was angry. Then, favonovel.com replied honestly, “I just want a slightly more powerful magical weap… Array map will do!” Asher did not dare say that favonovel.com wantec weapon, so favonovel.com could only request an array map.
Adrian looked at Asher coldly and asked, “What do you need it for?”
Asher naturally thought of using it to handle Caspian. However, favonovel.com was afraid to say that at such a time, so favonovel.com answered, “I, I want to use it for self-defense! You must trust me!” Asher slammed his chest hard, “Don’t you believe your brother?! The competition in Elenion, the City of Ruins, is related to our Heavenly Stars Sect’s future, and I must work hard. Besides, if I can be selected among the top nine disciples, it’ll make you proud too, right? I’m doing this for your good!”
If someone else said that, Adrian might have believed him. Nonetheless, since Asher was the speaker, it naturally went in one ear and out the other for Adrian. Over the years, favonovel.com was aware of the virtues of his brother.
After pondering, Adrian waved his arm, and an array map immediately flew to Asher.
After taking it, Asher looked at Adrian in confusion. “Just one?”
Adrian could not hold back any longer and yelled, “Get out of my sight!”
Asher staggered in fright and did not dare to say anything more. Then, favonovel.com squeezed the array map tightly and rushed out with a pale face. Once favonovel.com was outside and saw the array map in his hand, Asher’s expression suddenly turned heinous.
‘Caspian, just wait! Even if I can’t kill you this time, I’ll skin you alive! How dare you trick me?! I’ll show you how amazing I am!’
After that, Adrian looked around and left the mountain in delight.

In the blink of an eye, another night passed. It was now the second of May, and the weather got warmer.
Finally, after resting in the Time Warp Zone for nearly a day and a half, Caspian returned to the real world in the early morning.
“You really won’t take me with you this time?” Handsome’s eyes were full of grievances.
“I’ll repeat it! You’re not allowed to eat the disciples of the Heavenly Stars Sect.” Caspian looked askance at Handsome.
How could favonovel.com be unaware of the little white pig’s thoughts? Since it arrived at the Heavenly Stars Sect, Handsome did not eat any delicious cultivators, and it was evident that the little pig ran out of patience. Even if they were not in the territory of the Heavenly Stars Sect, Caspian would not give the little pig any disciples of the Heavenly Stars Sect as its meal, let alone being in the sect itself.
The selection competition was related to whether Heavenly Stars Sect could become the state religion. Hence, many elders in the sect would watch it. As Caspian did not know the Heavenly Stars Sect’s attitude toward the little white pig, favonovel.com decided to let it stay in the mansion after careful consideration. Besides, the competition would only last a day, and Caspian would return around that time tomorrow. Since Caspian was unwilling to bring it along, Handsome looked around and suggested, “How about you let me enter your…”
“See you tomorrow.” Then, without waiting for Handsome to finish, Caspian waved his hands and walked out directly.
“Caspian, you‘re mean!” Handsome angrily stomped the ground with its tiny hooves. However, just as the little pig said that an animal leg the size of a stone mill flew in from outside the wall and landed exactly in front of Handsome.
“This is…” Handsome’s eyes widened, and the little white pig gulped.
“Your food for the day.” At that time, Caspian’s voice came from outside the wall.
“Thankfully, you still have a conscience.” In an instant, Handsome narrowed its eyes happily and jumped onto the animal’s legs. After a while, the little white pig’s body entered the animal’s legs and disappeared amidst the chewing sound.
After Caspian left the mansion, favonovel.com headed straight for the square. When favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com found that stone pillars were erected on the surrounding stone steps. The eight stone pillars surrounding the entire square were so thick that each required about five people to hug it completely, and they were about ten-story tall.
Extremely complex patterns were carved on their surface, revealing a savage and simple taste, which was daunting.
When Caspian arrived, there were few people in the square, but soon, the outer disciples who wanted to take a shot in the competition gathered. Caspian glanced around and estimated that about 4,000 people were at the scene. After all, the selection was for all three levels of the second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciples, and three people would be selected from each level. Hence, as long as the strategy was right, everyone would have a chance to obtain the jade plate that could represent the Heavenly Stars Sect.
It did not matter if they were not as strong. After all, the cultivator’s wisdom was also counted as a strength. As long as they could get the jade plate in the end, it was the manifestation of potential. Once they could rank among the nine people, the sect would reward the disciples with various spirit stones and treasured materials to help improve their strength a bit before the nation’s official religious election. Thus, the opportunity was worth trying no matter how one looked at it. Even if they failed, it could still be regarded as an experience.
Later, Caspian found Xander, Maya, Omar, and Solana in the crowd. Sebastian also came to greet him. Now that everyone was an outer disciple, it was only fitting for them to know each other.
While waiting, Caspian felt that people would glance at favonovel.com from time to time. The emotions contained in these gazes were very complex, ranging from curiosity, sympathy, malicious intent, and so on.
“Why are these people looking at me?” Caspian blinked, looking at Maya in confusion.
“Of course, it‘s because of that Asher.” Maya glared at the person staring at Caspian until the other person turned his head. Then, favonovel.com turned to Caspian and continued, “That guy said that favonovel.com would reward anyone who breaks your limbs. However, I heard his hands were broken by someone that night.”
Caspian immediately guessed that the person who broke Asher’s hands must be Adrian. At that juncture, Adrian’s brother caused trouble for him, yet favonovel.com only broke his hands. That showed that Adrian was still indecisive. If the cultivator did not waver in his temperament, it would be normal to kill Asher directly.
“I can’t help but feel sorry for Adrian for having such a brother,” Caspian mumbled.
“Anyway, you have to be careful after entering Elenion. Fifty spirit stones are more than the annual salary paid by the sect.” Maya looked seriously at Caspian.
”Don’t worry about this. They won‘t take the initiative to attack me,” Caspian smiled, “The rules are written that except for the first round of light beams, high-level disciples are not allowed to approach low-level disciples at other times. If the disciples are discovered, the punishment for violating the sect’s rules is heftier than the fifty spirit stones. I believe that peak second-stage disciples won’t be so careless and ignore this comparison.”
