After Noob appeared behind her, Fabby almost immediately jumped away, but a tree root burst out of Noob’s finger and pierced through her belly. More tree roots burst out of his fingers and flew at her like hungry, living snakes.Edgar used the Flash Step to cover the distance in a fraction of a second. His Thunder Fist destroyed the roots before they reached her. The next second, his blade went for Noob’s throat. A swift swing it was, but Noob jumped back in time.Fabby coughed blood from the mouth. It fell on Edgar’s head and shoulders. He couldn’t see what was happening, but his eyes widened with fear. He quickly touched her belly. Though it was just one stab wound, blood was leaking fast out of her stomach. Her knees were shaking. She didn’t look like she was in the position to heal herself.“Sis, bear with it,” he pressed his palm against the injured spot, and blood vaporized at the spot.“Using the heat to close the wound?” Noob clicked his tongue. “That will leave a nasty scar i

Though everyone crossed the lake, Melita from the Honeywell sect was still standing on the side of the Whispering Woods. Why didn’t her sect members not reach there yet? Did they give up, or did they die? Even after she brought them half-way through the Whispering Woods?Instead of going forward, she turned back toward the Whispering Woods and dashed forth. “I hope they’re alright.”Meanwhile, Fabby and Edgar were following Betty.“I don’t think this is the right time for us to be doing this,” he said.“She killed Gray and walked away free,” Fabby resolutely said. “I will show her there’ll be consequences for every action.”“Yeah, but shouldn’t saving our energy be our priority?” Edgar was looking around. There were thick and tall trees, and the terrain and atmosphere felt pretty similar to the Whispering Woods, excluding the blood bees and the eerie noises. “We don’t know what dangers lie ahead of us in this round.”“It won’t take long to defeat her.”Edgar sighed. “Should I do it?”

Leo just reached the Pumpkin zone with his juniors, but they were too afraid to enter this place. “Can’t we just go around this region?” one of them asked. Leo shook his head. “On the left side, you have a poisonous pond, and on the right side, you have the Thorn Gap.” “Can’t we cross the Thorn Gap?” He shook his head even more. “Even I won’t have an easy time there.” “What? Is that place that dangerous?” “Not just dangerous but also ruthless,” Leo explained. “You will have roses that will climb you and pierce you with their thorns, and their leaves will soak in your blood. And then there are those berries that will spit poisonous gasses and make you go crazy. And that’s just the tip of it. That place is packed with traps of all kinds designed to test your limits. Unless you’re at a certain level, you cannot cope with the pressure that place puts on you.” “Even inner disciples can’t?” “Well, it depends.” At the Thorn Gap. The vines of rose attacked Edgar and Fabby. He kept cu

“I think we can escape from this, Eddie.” She said, and her words reached his ears even through all the madness he was experiencing.“HOW?” he bore all the pain and yelled at her. “TELL ME NOW!”“We’re in a field of thorn drive that’s responding to our movements,” she shouted through her pain. “Try to feel the drive with your skin, take it inward, and you’ll see its nature.” She jumped and landed five steps ahead, but this time the drive didn’t attack her. “Look, you can avoid the traps this way. We have to figure out the spots that are spared out in this field. There’s no other way.”“Then do it!” “Huh? I can’t do it alone,” Fabby’s abdomen hurt like anything every time she said a word. “I don’t think I can last much longer. You should learn to figure this out yourself, or we’ll both be trapped here until we lose our blood and die.”Edgar’s body was being pierced by the needle-like energy attacking from all directions, even from under his feet. Sometimes it was so vicious it threw h

The evergreat sect members that reached the fourth round all gathered under a banyan tree. What pleasantly shocked them was that there was not just the patriarch but also Great Elder Pandaar who watched over the skill hall, and also Grandmaster Mocha and Master Selly present there.Pandora snapped his fingers. A sound barrier formed all around them. When the winds hit the barrier, it lit up into flames and thereby screened everything that was happening inside so outsiders couldn’t easily see what was happening. The flames made a sort of burning music and made it extremely hard for anyone who tried to eavesdrop.“76 members. It’s not even half the number we usually get in this tournament during this stage,” Dusual said, “but it’s okay. What matters more is that we’re still in this competition. Things will get tough from the next round, but don’t be afraid. Give it everything you got. Use your drive well, and it will help you in most cases. Now, Great Elder will give you all a little le
