The middle-aged scholar wandered around freely in the crowded scene, and none of the surrounding disciples were within 50 centimeters of him.
Once he found a great angle, the man looked at the Star-Dazzler Stage.
Then, he observed the angry Anderson with great interest before his gaze fell on Caspian.
After a while, the middle-aged scholar smiled.
‘This kid’s pretty interesting…’
As Anderson appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the scene immediately became heated.
None of them knew what conflict Caspian had with Anderson, but most thought Caspian was too full of himself.
On the other hand, those that understood Caspian’s personality believed that he would not make such a crazy move.
Omar and Maya were worried and anxious.
However, Caspian’s face was still as in high spirits as always, and he did not appear as if he were pressured by Anderson.
“Casper’s still so calm when facing an outer disciple.
It seems that he has improved significantly again in this period.”
At that time, a familiar voice sounded behind Omar.
Then, he and Maya turned around, only to find Xander standing behind them, looking thoughtfully at Caspian on the Star-Dazzler Stage.
As Maya cared for Caspian, she hurriedly asked, “Xander, what’s your comment on this?”
“If he can’t defeat this outer disciple this time, then he won‘t be qualified to challenge me a month later,” Xander uttered.
When they heard that, Omar and Maya were stunned.
The eavesdropping disciples around them were shocked too.
Then, after Xander’s reminder, they recalled that the elders gave Caspian a mission to defeat Omar and Xander within three months.
Caspian defeated Omar, but he was yet to challenge Xander, the figure everyone regarded as the best among the apprentices.
Currently, two months passed since the mission was announced, which meant Caspian was only left with a month.
However, what astonished everyone was Xander’s words also revealed his ability.
He could defeat outer disciples! At least, the entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators were not his opponents!
When everyone realized that, they gasped.
Then, they looked at Caspian in a different light.
Many people immediately returned from their senses, and the disdain and mockery they had before all disappeared.
After giving it a thought, they immediately noticed a shocking possibility that Caspian challenged Anderson as he wanted to use the outer disciple as his touchstone!
If Caspian could beat Anderson, he might be able to fight Xander after practicing for a month.
However, if he could not defeat Anderson, he would not be able to fight Xander even if he trained for a month.
The speculation made the crowd dumbfounded.
Finally, they realized that they were too naive, and they were not as ambitious as Caspian.
Suddenly, Xander added, “Casper’s indeed a genius.
I only showed my skills a few times in the Hopeful Woman Mountain, yet he had a rough estimation of my ability.
Once I’m promoted, he’ll be the best among the apprentices.”
What!
The crowd was surprised, and an uproar sounded.
After all, Xander was just like a monster among the apprentices.
It was considered good if he even spared a glance at an ordinary disciple.
Therefore, an apprentice being dubbed as a genius by Xander, and even a hint of admiration in his tone, was a never before case.
Even Omar who had the Triple Blades of Fire, Ice, and Wind, as well as Maya, who had the innate Flame Phoenix Physique, never received such amazing evaluation by Xander before.
With Xander’s short comments, the crowd looked at Caspian differently that time.
