Caspian’s character and style of conduct were the sources of Jessica’s confidence in him.
However, that did not mean Jessica thought Caspian would win the game unscathed due to the most basic problem.
The difference in the realm between Caspian and Winston was too big.
Although they were of the same level, they were at two extremes.
Hence, Jessica was not concerned that Caspian would lose, but she was worried that Caspian would end the fight in an almost tragic way just to win.
When Caspian saw Jessica’s uneasy gaze, he was moved.
Then, he smiled and pulled the girl’s hand, saying, “Wait for my return.
I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, Caspian turned around and walked toward the ring.
Caspian waited for the battle for a long time.
As for the spectating disciples of other sects, only a few people paid attention to Caspian.
After all, most people thought it was better to have a good discussion about the beautiful female disciple who could actualize the essence of the world instead of focusing on the unsuspenseful game.
However, after Caspian stepped into the ring, the voices in the crowd talking about Caspian became louder and more frequent for unknown reasons.
It did not seem as if they talked about anything good?
“Ha! Challenging the other five major sects? How arrogant!”
“This guy wants to step on the five major sects on behalf of the Heavenly Stars Sect? He‘s surely audacious!”
“I can’t believe the Heavenly Stars Sect will send such a boastful guy to attend the nation’s official religion election.
There must be no other candidate left in their sect!”
Some of the more aggressive cultivators even directly shouted at Caspian to get off the stage.
The commotion kept getting louder, and the noise soon reached the arena.
Winston heard everything, and despite not knowing what went on or why those people suddenly mocked Caspian, he was on cloud nine.
Then, he grinned at Caspian, saying, “Did you hear that? If I were you, I’d voluntarily admit defeat and go back to find a rope to hang myself.
I didn’t expect that someone as mediocre as you is hated by so many.”
Although Caspian appeared unbothered on the surface, he was secretly puzzled.
He was only in Heavenly Stars Sect for three years, and almost no one knew about his only time leaving South Earlington, so why did the other five sects suddenly hate him so much?
Moreover, the sudden hatred was strange itself.
On the Heavenly Stars Sect stand, everyone heard the sarcasm and dissatisfied shouts coming from all around, and they looked at each other, not knowing what went on.
“Sebastian, it looks like we have to trouble you again,” Maya said to Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded, walked to the sect next to him, and after a bit of inquiry, he understood the ins and outs.
After returning, Sebastian frowned and explained, “Someone spread the rumor saying that Casper openly claimed that the other five sects‘ disciples are garbage on the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, and if there’s a chance, he’ll step on the other sect.
In addition to these, there are some unpleasant words.
In short, they made it sound as if Casper was arrogant.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Sebastian’s words.
No one knew better than Sebastian and Jessica.
Jessica paid particular attention to Caspian, and she purposely found out what happened at the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.
