“Teach… Teacher?” Caspian widened his eyes and stared at the frog at his feet.
He was sure he heard it right, and Hadley‘s voice indeed came from the frog’s mouth.
Caspian did not notice it before, but he immediately realized that the frog was not a living creature
when he took a closer look.
Just like when he went to find Maisie, the rat and cow that greeted Caspian were all puppets with
inscriptions engraved on their bodies, so they could move and make sounds according to the caster’s
requirements.
Caspian did not expect the Heavenly Stars Sect’s master would use that trick, and he was somewhat
dumbfounded.
Nonetheless, since the frog looked for Caspian, it meant Hadley was nearby.
Then, Caspian bowed at the frog, smiling.
“Teacher, you’re looking for me?”
The puppet frog replied in an elderly tone, “That’s more like it.” Then, it stood upright on its hind legs
like a human and led Caspian forward.
“Follow me.”
Caspian shook his head helplessly and followed the frog.
The frog was only the size of Caspian’s fist, and it was naturally imaginable how big its steps were.
However, Caspian soon discovered that no matter how he changed his pace, the frog was always
about a foot in front of him.
He deliberately tried it several times and even expanded his step.
Yet, he still could not catch up with the frog.
Caspian knew that there must be a mystery that he could not understand for the time being.
In that case, he simply calmed down and followed the frog all the way.
Just when Caspian calmed down, the frog suddenly stopped.
When Caspian looked up, he immediately found a glistening river suddenly appearing in front of him,
and Hadley was also fishing at the side.
When Hadley saw Caspian arriving, he waved at Caspian.
Even though they were yet to officially announce their apprenticeship, Caspian knew that it was only
the formality missing between them.
Hence, Caspian would still bow and greet Hadley as his teacher.
”Did you come back yesterday?” Hadley nodded and looked at Caspian.
Caspian knew that unless he did not want to know, Hadley was undoubtedly aware of everything
happening in the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Hence, Caspian honestly told Hadley everything that happened yesterday, including the people he met,
what he did, which naturally included the part when he got Leonard’s sword intent.
“Hmm… Old Elder Winston’s indeed the senior of our Heavenly Stars Sect.
Back when I was promoted to an outer disciple, he was the one greeting me,” then, Hadley pondered
for a moment before adding, “It’s a pity that his aptitude is limited, and now his blood and Qi are almost
exhausted.
Hence, he can’t make further progress.
In a few years, I’ll arrange a leisurely errand for him to take care of his life as part of his retirement.
However, he’s relaxed these days… Hmm? Why are you showng that expression?”
When he finished speaking, Hadley gave Caspian a sideways glance when he noticed Caspian
appeared bothered.
“I was just wondering if I offended Elder Leonard with my action last night.
If he knew, would he blame me?” Caspian said.
“You’re only scared now?” Hadley glared at Caspian, “If I were him, I’d probably have chopped you up
with a sword, but…” Hadley dragged his last word.
Caspian did not see Hadley moving, but a thin booklet suddenly appeared in front of Hadley as if it
were sent over by an invisible hand, passing over to Caspian.
Caspian took it with both hands and found that the booklet looked very old, and many parts were
damaged.
However, Caspian was stunned when he saw the words on the cover.
Then, Caspian read the words and exclaimed, “Notes on Sword Intent… Leonard Autumn?”
Looking at the small prints, Caspian realized what was recorded in the booklet turned out to be
Leonard’s experience with his swordsmanship?
Caspian‘s surprised face made Hadley very satisfied.
He nodded and said, “Yesterday, Elder Leonard heard that a disciple dared to take his sword intent
without authorization, and he was about to carry the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword to smash the
disciple’s corpse into pieces, but I stopped him.
Then, I persuaded him, saying the disciple who can capture his sword intent has not only courage but
also has strength and talent.
Therefore, won’t it be unreasonable if he doesn’t care for or guide such talent? With my earnest
persuasion, Elder Leonard finally realized his mistake, blushed, and let me pass on the swordsmanship
experience he wrote himself in his early years to you.
As for why he didn’t send it in person, it was because he was very ashamed to meet you.”
Hadley sounded serious as if the matter happened.
Nevertheless, Caspian naturally knew that his teacher was completely exaggerating.
At least 95% of his words were false, and the only truth was the booklet was written by Leonard.
Hence, Caspian filtered out more than half of what Caspian said just now.
Then, he respectfully kept the small booklet, turning to Hadley.
“Thank you, Master Hadley and Elder Leonard.”
“Why are you thanking him? He only did that after my earnest lecturing,” Hadley blustered, blowing his
own horn.
Caspian was speechless.
“I have something to tell you,” at that time, Hadley suddenly changed the topic, and his expression
became serious, “Although I didn’t supervise your practice outside this time, you have met my
requirement and reached the second-stage Pulse Control Realm.
This is something delightful.
Moreover, it also means that you‘ll be qualified to participate in the nation’s official religion election.”
Caspian’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
After all, back when he just entered the Heavenly Stars Sect, he publicly declared that he wanted to
change the impression that the Heavenly Stars Sect was not good at fighting.
The nation’s official religion election was the perfect chance.
The nation’s official religion election was all about the strength of each sect.
If the Heavenly Stars Sect could become the nation’s religion, Caspian’s wish would naturally come
true.
Hadley nodded when he saw Caspian’s excitement, and he was secretly delighted.
“It’s a good thing that you have the fighting spirit, but the premise is that you need to get the
qualifications.
The specific selection method will be notified in the next few days, and you’ll just need to take note of it
when the time comes.”
After saying that, Hadley looked at Caspian.
“Even if the Heavenly Stars Sect can’t be the nation’s religion, I hope you can perform astonishingly in
the competition.”
Caspian sensed that Hadley still had something to say, so he did not interrupt.
Instead, he just waited quietly.
Although Caspian did not interact with Hadley much, he discovered that the eccentric Hadley would
treat serious matters properly.
Sure enough, Hadley soon continued, “Because, after the nation’s official religion election, the major
sects will select the most powerful and talented disciples in the competition and send them to Myriad
Demons Burial Ground for training.”
