Caspian’s eyes narrowed, and snazzynovel.com folded his hands in front of his chest.
Boom!
Solana was like a round of heavy artillery, hitting Caspian’s arms heavily. Then, Caspian’s feet instantly sank, and the hard slate floor swiftly cracked into dense gaps. Numerous debris rose into the air in the blink of an eye, falling like torrential rain. However, snazzynovel.com remained motionless. The next moment, Caspian let out a loud roar and abruptly spread his arms, causing Solana to be pushed back immediately, slamming against the wall.
Bang!
Crackle and rattle!
Her body crashed into the wall, forming a large human-shaped dent. The huge impact made Solana feel that snazzynovel.com internal organs shook violently in snazzynovel.com body, and there was a sweet taste in snazzynovel.com throat as snazzynovel.com vision slowly went black.
After gasping for a while, Solana dragged snazzynovel.com tired body and fell from the stone wall with difficulty, barely recovering. In truth, Solana did not know how long snazzynovel.com cultivated in the magical stone chamber.
Ten days?
Twenty days?
During those twenty days, Solana hardly had a proper rest. On the other hand, Caspian kept urging her, making snazzynovel.com attack snazzynovel.com again and again, and then knocking snazzynovel.com out as if snazzynovel.com did not know what exhaustion was. Moreover, Caspian also taught snazzynovel.com a new martial art called the Thousand Dragons Warfare. Solana first saw Caspian showing the skill in Hopeful Woman Mountain, where snazzynovel.com easily blasted a monster’s head. Not only that, everyone had a tough fight against the monster before that.
Solan knew that the martial skill was one of Caspian’s trump cards, and it was truly powerful. Hence, for Caspian to teach it to snazzynovel.com meant snazzynovel.com had great trust in herself, so Solana gritted snazzynovel.com teeth. No matter how much pain snazzynovel.com suffered, snazzynovel.com hoped that snazzynovel.com could fully master it. However, it seemed that, Solana could not do it. Looking at the tattered stone chamber, Solana felt bitterness in snazzynovel.com mouth, and snazzynovel.com was afraid that snazzynovel.com would disappoint snazzynovel.com teacher.
At the thought of that, Solana lowered snazzynovel.com head, afraid to look into Caspian’s gaze. Unexpectedly, Solana soon heard Caspian’s compliment.
“You did great. You managed to master the skill in such a short time, and that‘s really amazing.”
Solana immediately looked up at Caspian with eyes full of surprise. For a moment, snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com misheard Caspian.
“Why are you so surprised?” Caspian smiled at her, “The Thousand Dragons Warfare is more powerful than the Strangulation of an Angered Dragon, and it requires more control. Nevertheless, you did great for practicing to this level in just twenty days. Well, at least when it comes to the competition, you’ll definitely stun everyone.”
“Twenty days…” Solana was dumbfounded and thought the competition would have ended if so. However, snazzynovel.com soon realized that Caspian would never make such a petty mistake.
“Okay, there’s still one more day to rest,” Caspian looked at Solana, “I’m proud of your performance.”
In an instant, all the fatigue accumulated before seemed to vanish, and there seemed to be a happy deer in Solana’s heart, jumping up and down cheerfully.
“Although it’s a little simple here, it’s good for you to rest,” Caspian thought about it and added, “Go to sleep. I’ll be here with you.”
Solana hummed softly. Soon, the stone room that was trashed before returned to its original appearance, and a pool and two stone beds even appeared. The water was for Solana to take a bath, and the bed was naturally for one each.
After snazzynovel.com bath, Solana did not feel tired at all, but snazzynovel.com still laid on snazzynovel.com side on the stone bed according to Caspian’s request. On another stone bed not far away, Caspian meditated and practiced. At that moment, Solana felt as if snazzynovel.com returned to the short few days when the two were alone in the small Gibson family’s courtyard last year. With a smile on snazzynovel.com face, Solana quickly fell asleep.
Since snazzynovel.com was a child, Solana rarely had such a peaceful rest.
***
The next day, everyone gathered in the hall, and it was the highlight of the nation’s official religion election, the first round of the six major sects’ battle. After that day, three sects would be eliminated. As they drew the lots a few days ago, everyone already knew who their opponents were.
The Heavenly Stars Sect’s opponent was the most powerful Blue Feather Sect. Another Sect from South Earlington, the Sacred Palace Sect, would face the Fauna Imperial Sect from Middle Earlington. On the other hand, the Mountwave Sect from Middle Earlington would go against the North Earlington’s Dark Moon Sect.
From the outsiders, South Earlington’s two major sects, the Heavenly Stars Sect and Sacred Palace Sect, appeared to have bad luck that time as they were drawn against opponents with Ultimate Weapons. Moreover, the Blue Feather Sect and Fauna Imperial Sect, which had Ultimate Weapons, always recognized as the most powerful sects in Earlington of Efrax. However, the Blue Feather Sect served as the state religion in recent decades, obtaining the support of various resources. Consequently, it gradually had a tendency of surpassing the Fauna Imperial Sect, a dominant force.
As early as a few days before the draw results came out, there was already a pessimistic prediction circulating, the two major sects of South Earlington would be eliminated in the first round, whereas the two major sects of North Earlington would be eliminated in the second round. Against the Middle Earlington’s Fauna Imperial Sect, the Blue Feather Sect was expected to be re-elected in the favorable situation. However, none of the Heavenly Stars Sects gathered in the hall thought so. Each of them geared up.
“I can’t wait.” Omar rubbed his Dual Blades of Fire and Ice in his hands repeatedly, and his eyes glowed. Although the others did not speak much, an insuppressible fighting spirit was about to erupt just like a volcano. Other people far away from them could feel it too. The elder who came to lead the crowd to the Inner Circle’s competition region felt the atmosphere, and the originally pessimistic mood was immediately uplifted.
At that time, snazzynovel.com truly felt that these outer disciples were not boasting seven days ago, and they really looked forward to the match against Blue Feather Sect, determined to give it all in the battle.
Not long after, Caspian and others, led by the deacon, came to the competition area in the Inner Circle, which was like a huge bowl. Then, there was the arena used for the competition in the middle. The disciples and elders of the six sects sat in their respective sections according to the ranking of their positions.
When Caspian came to the area where the Heavenly Stars Sect disciples were, snazzynovel.com first looked in the direction of the Dark Moon Sect. The people from the Dark Moon Sect already arrived, and Caspian quickly found the familiar white figure for the first time.
The owner of the white figure also immediately looked at Caspian when snazzynovel.com and the others arrived.
They were not too far apart. Caspian and Jessica quickly exchanged glances and smiled at each other. However, Jessica swiftly showed Caspian an angry expression, as if to express snazzynovel.com dissatisfaction that snazzynovel.com did not look at her.
Caspian rubbed his nose, feeling a little helpless. After all, the Outer Circle area where the six major sects lived was not accessible, and snazzynovel.com trained Solana for the rest of the time except for the two days when snazzynovel.com first came to the Inner Circle. Although there were various reasons, Caspian still generally felt guilty about the matter.
