The man with robes moved with grace.
"The Arcane Wizardry Peak's Govrin, ranked 10th…" At the sight of the youth in robes, anger filled Mubarak's expression.
The prince saw the visible hatred and asked. "Who is he?"
Mubarak gritted his teeth and replied. "He was once a treasured disciple of our Alchemic Rune Peak, he was a genius in drawing imprints but then he left and joined Arcane Wizardry Peak. Not only he betrayed us but he started to disrespect our peak as well."
The prince looked at him with examining eyes, he squinted his eyes and murmured. "He is an… elf!"
At the same time, Mubarak spoke again, his tone was slightly louder. "What's going on today? To think that three of the top 10 outer mountain rankers have come!"
The other disciples looked at each other, everyone puzzled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf it was just Ella, it could still be a coincidence, but when 3 of the 10 arrived at the same time, this matter was no longer as simple as it appeared.
"Ignorant, have none of you heard the news?"
While they were confused, a clear voice was suddenly heard from behind. Mubarak and the rest turned their heads and saw Aily walking over with her group.
"Hehe, does junior sister know?" Asked Mubarak with a chuckle.
Aily's gaze swept across the group, before she slowly said, "I've heard from my grandfather that traces of a 1000 feet duct beast were discovered some time ago in the energy reservoir. Wilson Sallow, Ella Abella and Govrin should be here because of it."
"1000 feet duct beast!" Astonishment was revealed on the faces of Mubarak and the rest. 1000 feet duct beasts usually hid in the deepest depths of the reservoir, making them exceedingly difficult to find. To think that one would reveal itself at such a time. No wonder Wilson, Ella and Govrin had chosen to come.
After all, if they managed to hunt that 1000 feet duct beast, they would be able to enjoy the 8 paths of ablution
"The other rankers are either in secluded prowess or out for missions. If not, there would likely be even more of them present." Aily smiled as she continued, "Of course, these new rankers can harvest because senior brother Sith Wiggins is already in the inner mountains, if not, there would be nothing left for the others to do." She was still the same Sith Wiggins fanatic.
Mubarak chuckled as he looked towards the three figures. "It seems that the Divine Spirit Ablution will be quite entertaining this time. The 8 paths of ablution is a grand affair after all. Even if we can't enjoy it, it will be a nice eye-opening experience."
He looked towards Ezra, finding that the latter was still staring at the three figures, and immediately patted his shoulders. "Junior brother, there is no need to envy them. In the future, you may also have a chance to taste that 8 paths of ablution."
His words were originally intended to console Ezra Zephyr, but when Aily heard them, she rolled her eyes and said, "In the current Spirit Devouring Mountain, only senior brother Sith has the ability to attain the 8 paths of ablution, and even the other rankers have never succeeded."
She was implying that since the other rankers were unable to achieve it, what qualifications did he have as a gold belt disciple?
Mubarak felt a little embarrassed. Aily was really blunt when she spoke.
The prince ignored him at first but then his mood swang. "You…" he pointed his finger at Aily. The latter looked back and asked. "What?"
"You are a goddamn yapper, you know that? Nobody is interested in your dream boy, stop wiggling your arse before him and focus on your damn imprints, fucking failure."
This was enough to bewilder everyone from Alchemic Rune Peak.
~BBZZZ~
Before she or any other could say anything, a strange sound suddenly echoed across the area. Next, all of the disciples watched in excitement as the enormous dome of light around the energy reservoir gradually began to turn translucent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMubarak excitedly exclaimed, "The energy reservoir is opening!" Besides his excitement, he also planned to change the situation Ezra just created by diverting their attention to the reservoir.
He then looked towards Ezra and said, "Junior brother, the reservoir is covered in mist and divided into many parts by the mountains. You'll be on your own when you go searching for Duct Creation Energy."
The prince smiled and nodded. Under the excited gazes of the numerous disciples, the dome of light in the sky grew fainter and fainter, before ultimately fading away.
The instant it did so, endless pure spiritual energy surged out. It was as if the entire land had been cleaned, giving it a fresh new look.
However, almost no one paid any attention, numerous disciples shooting forward at this moment, spiritual energy turning into clouds under their feet as they swarmed towards the reservoir within the mist.
On their respective mountain tops, Wilson, Ella and Govrin also turned into flashes of light as they flew forth, disappearing in the mist in a few breaths.
"Let's get going!" Mubarak grinned at the prince and the rest.
In the next instant, they too jumped into the sky and merged into the swarm of humans. Under the envious gazes of the countless disciples that were not qualified to enter, they charged into the endless energy reservoir.
When Ezra's figure charged into the misty energy reservoir, the token in his hand suddenly shook, before combusting and swiftly turning to ashes.
The sight of this caused the prince to think for a moment. A split second earlier, he had felt something sweep through him before the token began to combust.
If his guess was not wrong, it should be due to the imprint boundary that surrounded the energy reservoir. Without a token in one's possession, one would likely be flung away.
At this moment, Ezra was standing in the cloud above the reservoir, while an endless stream of glowing figures flew past them, heading towards every possible direction.
Mubarak, James and the rest had also split up after entering, evidently planning on searching for Duct Creation Energy on their own.
