Therefore, no one could blame Maxim for letting out a cold shoulder towards Zephyr. This did not slip the notice of all the disciples in the room and it caused them to smile bitterly at themselves. There was no question of it — Zephyr had become Maxim’s punching bag. Zephyr became dispirited when he noticed the other disciples’ side-eyed gaze upon him. However, it was not as if he did not want to progress to another level. He knew that in his pocket, he had a Dragon Lizard’s pearl, and once consumed he would be able to advance straight to an Agility of level two. The reason he did not do so was that he felt he was close to a breakthrough, so there was no need to waste a perfectly good pearl. He felt it was best to build up his foundation and to go with the flow. “Brother, all the disciples are here. Shall we begin?” Dewey asked with a gesture towards the disciples as a way to divert the attention of everyone away from Zephyr. “Yes.” Maxim had no choice but to tamper down his ange
“Thank you, Brother Vert, but there’s no need. I’ll get the points through completing quests. This will give me the chance to use my skills too.” It was only recently that Zephyr had successfully attained the Lightning Sword Skill. He had not used it in a real battle before so he wanted to use this opportunity to test it out. “Good thinking. Well, the offer would be available for you whenever you need it then,” Vert spoke as he patted Zephyr’s shoulder. Zephyr was deeply touched by the unity between the Supreme Peak’s disciples. After all, points are very important and it was not everyday someone would be so willing to offer their points. He planned to improve himself as much as possible within two months. Once again, he found himself to be in the Hall of Trials. It seemed like the news of the martial art competition spurred on many disciples as he discovered the hall to be filled with them.“You again,” said the disciple in charge of the quests jokingly. He nodded at the pers
Zephyr was not fazed by the Thunderbolt Snake. With a quick swing of his sword, he managed to cut the snake into two with his lightning-fast bladed energy. The snake continued to writhe in pain as it prepared to shoot out the poison from its mouth. “Die!” Zephyr swung his sword again and a bladed energy came out within half a second. The bladed energy enhanced with Electrical powers was so strong that it completely turned the snake into dust, with only the tip of the tail intact. He must preserve the tail for that was where the Thunderbolt Snake’s pearl was stored. “One down. Two hundred points gained.” Zephyr kept the tail inside the Loot ring. Although it seemed as if Zephyr had killed the snake with no effort at all, it would be perceived differently for other fighters. The Thunderbolt Snake was very adept at keeping itself hidden, and not many people could easily find it. Even if they managed to find one, they would certainly be ambushed by its lightning-fast speed. However, Ze
She was the barefooted girl from before. Her appearance was very eye-catching; that there was no way Zephyr could forget about her. Her eyes were as clear as diamonds. She even had beautiful hands as those hands had a star crystal that shot towards the Sword Dragon Beast. Finally, under their joint attacks, the beast was defeated. “Phew, it’s finally down!” Everyone, except for the girl and the strongest man, exhaled deeply. Their faces were filled with happiness. “Erin, you’re much stronger than I expected,” said the strongest man amongst them all. He spoke to her with a smile on his face. He did not bother disguising the burning desire in his eyes. Her name was Erin Rhodes and though only eighteen years old, her beauty was already renowned throughout the whole kingdom. Whoever that encountered her was never able to forget such stunning features. “You’re not so bad yourself,” Erin replied politely. There were no emotions at all in her words. The other three apprentices star
Leonard’s movements were minute, but in an instant, ten-bladed energy shot out towards Zephyr. The ten-bladed energy was a force to be reckoned with and left no room for doubt. This attack did not intend on leaving any survivors. Witnessing this, Zephyr thought it was an overkill and could not help but give out a cold scoff. To him, it was normal to bump into others in the forest. There was no need to act this rashly even though it was true that he had kept himself hidden all this while. By acting like this, it was obvious Leonard was trying to show off his power and did not deem Zephyr’s life to be of any importance. It had always been Zephyr’s style to give an attitude to people like this. “Lightning Sword Skill!” shouted Zephyr as he pulled out his sword. Immediately, countless bladed energy as powerful as the crackling electricity erupted from his sword. That skill was as over domineering as Zeus himself! Soon, the two fighters' bladed energy collided against each other and t
“Brothers, we should not do anything that could anger the Supreme Peak’s head,” said an apprentice worriedly.“Oh, you mean Elder Maxim? Huh! He’s not as strong as before after he got hurt. There’s no need to fear him. Besides, he’s not stupid enough to cause offense to us for a b*stard apprentice.” Leonard could not stand the thought of the girl of his dreams having the time of the day with Zephyr. “The quest we’re on now is very difficult. That’s why we have to do it in teams and it’s also why the points are so high. It was arranged by a sister apprentice of mine...” Erin started to explain.“So each bandit would give us that many points? And there’s a lot of them? This’s really a good quest!” said a slightly shocked Zephyr after she had finished explaining about the quest.“They’re called the Black Tiger Bandits. Each of them has a Black Tiger card on them. The cards of the Strength level fighters are made of wood and the cards of the Agility level fighters are made of jade. As
A dazzling star crystal created a trail of light in the darkness. It swept through an area of ten yards like a meteor strike. Immediately, two bandits collapsed onto the ground with a muffled sound as they clutched their throats. “Not bad!” Zephyr praised Erin for her techniques. The star crystals that surrounded her were dazzled brightly, this exuded off an ethereal halo around her. Zephyr fell into a trance-like state when he saw her. Although he could take down a bandit from a distance, he could not do it as silently as she could. After all, she was the one who had the Ancient Draconic bloodline that ran through her veins.“How do you know where the bandits are?” asked Erin with curiosity.“Please, let me keep it a secret for now,” Zephyr replied with a cheeky grin when he saw the anticipated look on Erin’s face. “Oh,” said Erin. Zephyr could not tell whether she did on purpose or if she really did not care about his answer. Suddenly, his mood sunken. It would be better i
“This giant bandit is very strong. You should have been more careful,” said the person who gave out the punch with an infuriating smile on his face. Then, without waiting for Zephyr’s reply, he rushed off in a particular direction.“D*mmit!” shouted Zephyr while he stared at the person’s retreating figure. He was infuriated. That person took down the giant bandit not because he wanted to help Zephyr, but because he wanted to get the Black Tiger Bandit card. He recognized the person’s face — he was none other than Clay Lee, an initiate of the Feather Peak, who was known for his all-consuming punch.“Intruders alert! Over there!” The shouts of the bandits echoed in the air. No matter how pissed Zephyr was, he had no choice but to retreat for now. “What happened?” Erin asked when he met up with her at their appointed hiding place.“The people of the Feather Peak arrived and one of them purposely stole a Black Tiger Bandit card from me,” replied Zephyr.“What!” Erin’s face instantl
