There were also a few people who recognized Caspian, and their words were much more ruthless. "Tsk. I know that guy. He gained a little limelight at the mission pavilion some time ago for completing a tough mission with a few outer disciples. Of course, the outer disciples contributed the most to that task, and he was at most spectating from a side and attacking from time to time. Did he think he could finish the task by himself? What a fool.""I want to see what ranking he'll get.""I bet he's going to be disqualified in the first round.""Tsk. An apprentice only earns one spirit stone a month, yet he directly took three out to enter the competition. He's surely confident."The discussion around him was extremely harsh and cynical, and everyone thought Caspian entered the competition as he was arrogant and did not know his place. Moreover, these disciples did not say these behind Caspian's back, nor did they lower their voices, and they spurted these rude remarks as if they de
The more than 10000 apprentices did not seem to be shocked by the announced number of participants, and it was apparent that it would be the same for each ranking competition. Then, Caspian started calculating. "The spiritual apprentice list is a single-elimination tournament, which means as long as I win two matches, I can almost enter the top one thousand."Next, it was time to draw lots in front of the public. For the sake of fairness, the draw would be based on the previous ranking competition, and disciples of the same level would be arranged into different groups. That way, the strong would be prevented from preying on the weak. For example, the previous top ten disciples would directly be arranged to a different group. Then, the remaining twentieth to fiftieth disciples would be divided into ten various groups, and so on...At that time, the atmosphere finally became somewhat tense. Although the groups were arranged as fair as possible, the spiritual apprentice list was on
Just as the buck-toothed disciple stared at the iron ball at his feet in a daze, Caspian's voice suddenly sounded."Hey!" The disciple raised his head, and he immediately felt a gust of wind in front of him, causing him unable to open his eyes. At the same time, he heard exclamations from his surroundings.The buck-toothed disciple knew that something bad was about to happen, but it was too late.Slap! As if a clap of thunder struck the ground, all of the buck-toothed disciple's teeth immediately fell, and he spat them out with a mouthful of blood. He was directly sent flying out of the arena before finally smashing heavily to the ground with his eyes rolled. Moreover, his body convulsed, and it was obvious that he fainted.The buck-toothed disciple's originally protruding mouth caved in as all his teeth fell, and he looked like an aged old lady. With his current state, even his parents might not be able to recognize him. As for those apprentices that mocked him before, they
The crowd's discussion did not affect the two in the ring. Kyle habitually scratched his head. "Casper, watch out. I'm going to show all my strength this time."Caspian laughed. "Did Peter ask you to probe my full ability this time?"When Kyle heard that, his expression immediately changed. Shortly after, his initial languid appearance disappeared, and he straightened his back."Peter is not a bad person. The matters before are all a misunderstanding. After all, he can't watch all of his subordinates one be one." Then, Kyle looked at Caspian. "When did you find out?""I knew it from the beginning," Caspian replied with a smile, "Peter should say that to me instead."The colors on Kyle's face changed a few times. Finally, he shook his head and answered, "Casper, I don't have any ill intention for you. After I defeat you, I'll explain everything.""Sure." Caspian nodded, but he also stopped smiling. "Kyle, I think you're a great person, so I won't beat you up so badly."Their co
The crowd fell into silence, and everyone was dumbfounded. However, it did not take long before an uproar came. "What! Are my eyes deceiving me!" "How is that possible!""Kyle's suppressed!""Kyle's hurt!""This… This is a joke, right! I must be dreaming!""Kyle's even vomiting blood from the attack!""Kyle's in the top one hundred of the spiritual apprentice list before this!"…The countless discussions immediately filled the surroundings. After all, people would pay attention to those disciples who could enter the top 100. Moreover, many of the apprentices who watched other matches switched their attention.Even the initially unbothered top ten disciples were surprised, and they turned to look at Caspian's arena. At that time, the name, Casper Montgomery left some marks on them.Kyle heard the rounds of discussion, and he let out a cough. Then, after a while, Kyle took a deep breath and said, "Casper, you're much stronger than I expected.""It's even stronger than what
In the arena, the scorching temperature made them feel as if they were near a volcano with flowing magma. Kyle's back was drenched in sweat, and his face was ashen. At that time, even his eyes appeared sunken as if he was seriously ill. For the sake of activating the Desolated Desert Heat Formation, Kyle used up all the spiritual Qi in him, and he swayed as if he would fall at any time.The formation was Kyle's strongest trump card, and he refused to believe that Caspian could win against him. He was the master in these formations! "Casper, you lost." Kyle looked at the flickering figure in the fire. "That's uncertain yet." Caspian's voice came, and he sounded as indifferent and calm as usual. It was as if everything did not affect him at all.Kyle could not help but become angry."Since that's the case, then I'm sorry in advance!" Kyle roared, and he pressed his fingers in the air. Boom! Amidst the loud noise, a burst of spark burst out from the ground and exploded. In th
After winning against Kyle, Caspian became the most eye-catching person in the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition at that time. What surprised everyone was not only because he defeated Kyle, but he had more energy left in him, and that was terrifying.Soon, everyone started to guess the ranking Caspian would get in that competition. After all, everyone would discuss enthusiastically when an unknown apprentice easily won against so many strong opponents. While many people were optimistic that Caspian could go further, there were also many pessimists. As that was the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, it would only be harder to move forward as one got closer to the front. It was countless times easier to enter the top 500 from the top 1000 than getting into the top 100 from the top 500. Moreover, after reaching the top 100, it was tough to move a rank higher. Under the crowd's watchful gaze, Caspian returned to the stands. Then, he started meditating with a
Others might think Maya was delicate and graceful when they saw the effortless leap just now. However, Caspian thought it was an impeccable subtle technique. "Top ten… Wait… Top three of the disciples are indeed outstanding, " Caspian thought. Nonetheless, just as Caspian secretly admired Maya's technique, the spectators and even Maya were impressed by Caspian. After all, his performance in that competition was extremely shocking. Even the seven-consecutive winner, who led the spiritual apprentice list for 21 months — Xander Faris, only entered the top 600 in his first ranking competition. On the other hand, Caspian would also be in the top twenty at worst.The top 600 and top 20 were completely different. Hence, that was why everyone paid attention to Caspian. However, none thought Caspian would go a step further and break the record of entering the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list in their first participation. After all, the opponent Caspian faced was the beloved gir
