Chapter 40: Doris and Frank

Words : 1754 Updated : Dec 3rd, 2024

However, the situation took a dire turn the next day! News arrived from the Syton Kingdom that the Fiery Fire Sect suffered two consecutive losses against the Wind Sword Sect in the second and third matches! Even though Rana won her match, the other two disciples representing the sect were defeated! Upon hearing this news, many disciples found it hard to believe. "How is this possible? The Fiery Fire Sect is the top sect in the Land of the Five Kingdoms!" "The Wind Sword Sect has always been beneath us, and this time should be no exception." "Surely, there must be a mistake in the information!" However, as more accurate details emerged, even these Outer Sect Disciples dared not speak further. In the second match, representing the Wind Sword Sect was... the Princess of the Great Cyan Empire, Doris! Her cultivation was terrifying, and her Illusionary Beast, the Thundering Twin-Tailed Griffon, had reached the level of the Sixth Rank. The talent she displayed was awe-inspiring. In the battle, she swept through everything! The representative for the Fiery Fire Sect was a disciple named Harry Hill, also a formidable Inner Sect Disciple. No disciple who could directly enter the Inner Sect of the Fiery Fire Sect was weak! Yet, Harry was swept away by Doris. The situation was similar to the first match. Harry was defeated by Doris within five moves. After winning the Dragon Gate Assembly, Doris left a statement on the spot. She intended to lead the Wind Sword Sect to surpass the Fiery Fire Sect. In the future, even the only spot for a second-rate sect would inevitably fall into the hands of the Wind Sword Sect! How arrogant and presumptuous! For so many years, the Wind Sword Sect had always been the challenger. Unexpectedly, today they revealed their ambitions and claws! Indeed, they were arrogant. Their confidence stemmed from one, Doris, and another... Frank Campbell! In the third match, Frank from the Wind Sword Sect fought. He appeared smiling, but his actions were extremely ruthless. He directly crippled a disciple of the Fiery Fire Sect, leaving them severely injured and on the brink of death. If it weren't for the timely intervention of an Elder from the Fiery Fire Sect, Frank might have succeeded. Frank was mysterious in origin and identity, yet possessed extremely terrifying talent. He was even more formidable than Doris! Their dominance in the Wind Sword Sect even overshadowed the Young Sect Master, Julio. ... ... "Doris, seems like you're doing pretty well now." Iwao stood in the training room, his palm shimmering with a bright green hue, like a translucent jade. He looked at the bronze statue in front of him, a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes. The next moment, his power burst forth. With one palm strike, the bronze statue's head was instantly reduced to dust. Iwao withdrew his hand, his gaze cold and sinister. His hatred and killing intent had never diminished. He only concealed it well on ordinary days to prevent his sister from worrying. "Too weak, I'm still too weak!" A gleam of determination flashed in Iwao's eyes. He must train crazily to gradually surpass these enemies! Not a moment could be wasted. "Crunch, crunch." Not far away, Swallow popped Double Marked Spirit Jade into his mouth one after another, as if eating candy. Seeing Iwao like this, Swallow chuckled, "Iwao, if you want revenge, just bring me more Beast Origin Fruits. After I eat them and level up, even if I only reach the Fourth Rank, I can completely crush Doris!" "Finding Beast Origin Fruits is not that easy." Iwao sighed, his gaze somewhat melancholic. He began to ponder whether, aside from seclusion for cultivation, he should occasionally go out for a few trips. Staying cooped up in the courtyard might drive him crazy! He remembered Magar mentioning to him last time that there would be a Treasure Fair in the Fiery Fire Sect's rear mountain in three days. This fair was organized by Outer Sect Disciples, where they could exchange treasures as needed. Perhaps, he could try his luck and find a Beast Origin Fruit? Even if there were no Beast Origin Fruits, finding some other Spiritual Elixirs to enhance Swallow's level and accelerate the unsealing of his bloodline would also be good. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Rana visited the courtyard once, but she didn't say much. After treating Tammy, she left directly. Originally, Iwao wanted to have a chat with her, but seeing her like this, it was clear her mood wasn't great, so he abandoned the idea. On the fourth day, Iwao, who had been holed up, finally stepped out of the courtyard. He stored some treasures in his Storage Ring and headed towards the rear mountain of the sect. Although some treasures were valuable, he didn't need them at the moment. So he planned to exchange them for some items that could enhance the level of Illusionary Beasts. "Look, isn't that Iwao?" "Yes, I saw him on the first day of entering the sect!" "He's been here for a while, and I didn't expect him to finally come out." "Judging from his appearance, is he going to participate in the Treasure Fair?" Outside the courtyard, disciples came and went. Upon seeing Iwao, those Outer Sect Disciples all showed shock. Since Benny and Elod were mysteriously killed, no one dared to curse in front of Iwao's door. During this time, there were occasional polite challenges to Iwao. Without a response, they left. Everything was calm and peaceful. One disciple voluntarily stepped forward and stood in front of Iwao. "I'm Kader Jenkins. I'd like to learn from Bro Iwao's strengths. Please enlighten me!" The disciple clasped his fists, looking respectful. With the examples of Elod and Benny, no one dared to act presumptuously when challenging Iwao. "Bro Kader!" Iwao returned the gesture. "I come from a humble family background with no background or support. As a mediocre Outer Sect Disciple, I tread carefully in the sect, fearing to cause trouble. Moreover, I have promised my sister not to fight with others outside. So, I'm sorry, Bro Kader. If you want to fight me, we can only meet at the Sect Grand Contest!" His words were frank and measured. Kader was a little dumbfounded. But really, there was no fault to be found. The reasons given were very sufficient. You couldn't force someone to fight, could you? So, Kader could only watch helplessly as Iwao walked past him. As Iwao reached the rear mountain, he saw two tall disciples standing there like gatekeepers. They looked solemnly, observing the Outer Sect Disciples coming and going. Iwao blended into the crowd, inconspicuous. Entering the rear mountain, Iwao found that there were at least hundreds of Outer Sect Disciples gathered there. They were whispering to each other, taking out treasures, and bargaining with each other. "Why are you selling this for ten Double Marked Spirit Jade? Are you robbing people?" "If you can't afford it, don't disturb my business. This is a treasure!" "Rubbish! Would you sell a treasure?" "Oh my god, you're selling these Triple Golden Flowers at such a high price. Are you robbing people?" Iwao listened to all of this and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if there was anything he wanted here!
