Dakota took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.
However, her heart was still pounding hard.
The reason was not only Leonard’s swordsman id entity or that Leonard recruited a disciple, but because Leonard was also a radical.
He was the figure that could represent the radicals!
After Frankie, who represented the conservatives, accepted Adrian as his disciple, Hadley’s news seemed to imply that he wanted to support the radicals.
After the crippled master passed away, the radicals had one less person than the conservatives.
After pondering for a moment, Dakota looked in the direction Hadley left, thinking, “It seems that Hadley hasn’t decided yet, so he’s letting us handle the contradicting views ourselves as always.
First, he’ll maintain the balance, and then it’s up to us.”
At the thought of that, Dakota’s eyes shined brilliantly.
“The future of the Heavenly Stars Sect must be patched by the people of the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
***
The Star-Dazzler Stage‘s incident did not only make Caspian’s reputation soar among the apprentices, but many outer disciples also knew of his existence.
Even though Anderson was ranked at the bottom among the outer disciples, he was still an outer disciple.
In other words, Caspian successfully defeated a disciple in the higher realm, and that was enough to make people secretly remember his name.
Caspian returned to the courtyard he lived in, and he received the rewards confiscated before the sunset.
From that point of view, Adrian was considered honest as he did not find other excuses.
Nonetheless, it would be useless even if Adrian wanted to because Caspian defeated Anderson on the Star-Dazzler Stage, and it was not a corner where no one could see.
The apprentices and outer disciples that came were close to a thousand.
With so many eyes watching Caspian crushing Anderson, Adrian would surely create a commotion if he dared to go back on his words.
Moreover, Adrian was just accepted as Frankie’s disciple, and that matter was not publicly announced yet.
Hence, Adrian did not want to taint Frankie’s name and let himself be tragically rejected from being Frankie’s disciple as soon as he was recruited.
Therefore, Adrian sent someone to pass the rewards that should have belonged to Caspian since the beginning over even if he was unwilling.
The rewards for killing monsters, the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, Tigreal, and Leo, included spirit stones, precious ingredients and materials, weapons, and martial skill.
At that moment, they piled up on Caspian’s bed like a small hill.
The five goats that Caspian dragged into the house were dumbfounded when they saw the shiny pile of treasures, and they stood still on the spot, not making a sound.
On the other hand, Little Candy widened its big curious eyes and got closer to the pile of items.
Then, it used its paw to pull them with great interest.
“There is nothing particularly useful…” Caspian sat cross-legged, reaching out and taking the hobbling Little Candy into his arms.
However, Little Candy seemed to have found something interesting and was just about to take a closer look, but Caspian immediately carried it.
It immediately whimpered in dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately for Little Candy, its current strength was still incomparable to Caspian‘s, and it could not break free from his grip.
‘Spirit stones! Hmm… I can eat them.
Now that I’m in peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm, I can accumulate more and do my best to rush to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm in three months,’ Caspian thought as he took a piece of spirit stone and swallowed it.
As for the precious ingredients and materials, Caspian flicked his sleeve and placed them all in the Earring of Echo.
After all, there were too many things, and his storage bag could not fit them all.
