The billowing airwaves rushed toward the surroundings like blades or clusters of arrows, scraping Caspian's cheeks and causing them to hurt badly."It's magic!" Caspian was shocked. The magic that Maya used was stronger than he expected. Moreover, it could easily destroy everything!Maya's body swayed slightly, and it was apparent that her Flame Phoenix Physique's magic used up much energy. Then, she faced Caspian, once again slashing at him.That time, three hurricanes, like towering buildings, collapsed and smashed at Caspian. Besides where Maya stood, the other area in the ring was shrouded. Maya did not wish to give Caspian any chance to escape unless he rushed out of the arena.However, Caspian would lose if he did that. "I won't retreat." Caspian took a deep breath and roared. Then, he flipped his hand, drawing out the seventh-grade longsword, chopping at the incoming hurricanes."Even though a proper retreat when facing a great opponent will conserve my energy for future
"Cultivator State!" Omar exclaimed. The other spectators were also surprised, envious, in disbelief, and such. The Cultivator State only happened when a cultivator's body was at its extreme limit. For example, when a person made himself extremely battered and exhausted, he would fully be able to absorb everything that he consumed fully. That way, no nutrients would be wasted.Thus, the Cultivator State was the best state for cultivating cultivators.Under that state, the cultivator did not need to take any precious medicine, and their spiritual Qi absorption rate would be at least double than usual and even higher! However, such a state could not only be achieved by extreme exhaustion, but one would also need the opportunity. After all, if everyone wore themselves out just to achieve Cultivator State, everyone would be a genius, and the strong competitors would be at the corner of every road. Besides Xander, no one present entered into that state. Moreover, it was only a coinci
Maya was sent flying. However, she did not exclaim, nor did she shout. Maya did not make a single sound. As Maya fell, the look in her eyes never changed. It was as if she suffered a huge blow.Caspian's words kept ringing in her ears."I'll never give up…""To be brave and dedicate myself to progress, even if it will be a bloody journey…""I'm sorry, but I must win this match…"With a thud, Maya fell outside of the arena. Since she was knocked out of the stage, Maya was naturally the losing party. Caspian stood on the stage with the Phoenix Sword still stuck to his chest. His finger still pointed out, and there was a smile on his face. The smile was so carefree and bright.An entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator against the peak first-stage cultivator, and he had won! The entire crowd, more accurately, the entire square with more than 15000, fell into silence, and it was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop. All eyes were on Caspian, and they could ev
"Excuse me, Elder Elon. Is Casper ranked among the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list?" Xander asked with both hands cupped.Elon Kenney answered, "Yes, he is!" As Maya was knocked out of the arena just now, and Caspian was the one left on the stage, Caspian was naturally the winner entering the top ten. In truth, Elon was also shocked about Caspian defeating Maya. "Since that's the case, is it possible to let Casper have his Autumn Dew Pills? Casper is in his Cultivator State, and it'll be such a waste if he can't consume the precious medicines in time," Xander said.Before that, Elon announced that the disciples ranked among the top ten in the spiritual apprentice list would be rewarded, including three Autumn Dew Pills.However, based on the previous rules, everything would be awarded after the competition ended. Nonetheless, desperate times required desperate measures. Elon naturally understood that Cultivator State was rare, and he only hesitated for a split second be
Caspian never wanted to hide the fact that he used the power of blood to practice Pointing to the Stars and cast magic. After all, he used that skill under everyone's watchful eyes. Moreover, that was unlike the Earring of Echo and Tower of Life, which Caspian needed to keep secret.Besides, Caspian could push that skill onto Brayden and said he realized that when Brayden showed the Blood Devouring Palm when he killed Brayden. However, when Caspian saw Maya's pleading look, Caspian pondered for a moment.The reason was simple. When a gorgeous lady acted coquettish with you, you would usually be willing to hesitate for a moment as it meant you could look at her beautiful face a little longer.If an unsightly person acted coy with you, you might immediately spill all your secrets out just to stop them from behaving that way.Maya noticed the Caspian was deep in thoughts, and her eyes blinked a few times. "Casper, you're the best. Please, just tell me."As she said that, Maya's head
Even though the Stargazing Platform was opened for the Heavenly Stars Sect's disciples, the security was extremely strict, and only those with passes could enter. Otherwise, even Grandmasters would not be allowed to get in.When the founder of the Heavenly Stars Sect set up the Stargazing Platform, he naturally laid a formation that would last forever. Hence, not only master Heavenly Spirit Realm's Grandmasters, but even the supreme Amethyst Palace Realm would land themselves in serious trouble if they wanted to enter the place forcibly.Although no one knew what exactly would happen, no one broke into the Heavenly Stars Sect since it was built. Hence, its power and deterrence were evident. As Maya did not have an entry pass, she had to wait outside and watch as Caspian walked into the Stargazing Platform.Initially, Caspian already felt the Stargazing Platform's extreme grandiose outside. However, when he walked into the place, Caspian realized that his knowledge limited his imag
On the way back, Caspian felt the obvious changes brought from being among the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list. Any apprentices that met him would take the initiative to greet him. Even if these apprentices were in a slightly higher realm, which was peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm, they also treated Caspian respectfully and addressed him as their senior.The reason was simple, Caspian's strength was formidable, and he was a giant ranked in the top ten of the apprentices!Nonetheless, Caspian experienced being the center of attention many times before. Hence, even though he felt somewhat excited, Caspian would not be overjoyed, nor would he be putting on the air.Moreover, the slight hint of excitement was normal. After all, Caspian recently turned seventeen. Even if he had boundless experiences before, he was still a teenager. Additionally, those that addressed him as their seniors were all Pulse Control Realm cultivators and not ordinary people.As promised, Caspia
A polite disciple stood outside Caspian's courtyard, and he brought the good news Maya mentioned before.After listening to the disciple's description, Caspian blinked, and he asked in confusion, "A task assigned by the sect?" The disciple smiled gently and answered, "As you've just entered the sect, I'm afraid that you're not aware of this sect's custom. Any disciples who achieve an impressive result during their first ranking competition or make a significant improvement will be rewarded by the sect. These rewards are not limited to martial skills, precious medicines, or treasures. Moreover, some tasks that can be of great benefit will also be assigned by the sect."Caspian immediately understood. "Thank you for the clarification. Please wait for me as I get changed, and I'll follow you after."The disciple waited for a moment. Then, once Caspian was done changing, he brought his storage sack and followed the disciple. Along the way, Caspian inquired about their destination
