After watching the fight of the core disciples, Edgar and Fabby just couldn’t sleep quietly. They practiced for almost an hour.Fabby stopped first and watched her little brother for a while. He kept practicing his swordplay. “Why do you practice random moves all the time?” she asked. “You should stick to a few moves and build on them first by repeating them until you master them.”“Is that so?” Edgar put his sword forward. “Why don’t you show me?”Fabby hadn’t swung a sword before, but she plucked it from his hand and tried thrusting and slashing with some intensity before looking at her brother. He didn’t seem satisfied. She upper her intensity and repeated the same moves. Another look at her brother, and his mouth turned down, followed by a slight shake of the head.“Now, watch!” she put all her drive into her hand and crazily swung it diagonally. “Hiyaa!”The sword flew at Edgar’s face. “Eeek!” he was not at all prepared, but his body instinctively moved just enough for the sword

Edgar and Fabby couldn’t find another skill book in Zone A. Either they were all taken away, or there were only a few of them placed in this zone to begin with.They rushed to the second zone, ignoring the other battles going around for skillbooks. However, Zone B had an extremely cold environment with blizzards blowing about seemingly aimlessly. They were forced to use drive to cover their bodies, and the heat provided great resistance against the chilling winds. They had to brave through the harsh conditions with great effort, but to their shock, there were seals and penguins living in that region, and they seemed to be totally alright with living in such extreme climates.Multiple polar bears guarded ice caves, and one needed to fight them in order to even check if the caves held any skillbooks or not. Some didn’t consider it worth the time or effort, and the siblings also thought the same.They saw Wren Ayss freezing the feet of the bears and grabbing multiple books from the caves

In Zone J, a zone with muddy sliding grounds, Tenzai, Azar, and Liam defeated the three disciples of the Stealthy Claw sect and obtained a seven-star Blinding Blade skill.Neither Tenzai nor Liam were interested, so Azar took it. “This will integrate well with my fire skill. I should hide this from my sis, no matter what.”A female entered Liam’s vision. It was Gossini.“Guys, we’ve got company.” Liam warned them. “Should we go after her?”“No,” Tenzai said quickly.“Why? Is she from your sect?” asked Liam. Gossini wasn’t wearing the outer disciple’s uniform, after all.“Let’s go,” Tenzai kept rushing up the mountain. He came across animals that were stuck in the mud, and he threw branches at them so they used their mouths to grip the branches and pull themselves out.“If you have time to waste, do it after you win the round,” Azar and Liam reminded him.“Are you worried that they might attack us when we’re returning? But they might just die before that. Since this round is all about

Fabby didn’t fall much far compared to her brother who fell outside the crater in Zone P. Fabby didn’t think it was her attack that caused all this. She was still inside the massive crater, so she had no idea how much land her attack had affected.Nevertheless, her whole arm was quaking greatly. It was an almost unbearable pain. It was worse than being electrocuted. She couldn’t even scream but just gritted her teeth as vibrations shook her arm. As seconds passed and she fell down toward the ground, the pain slowly subsided and allowed her to be able to move that arm again.Falling from hundreds of feet high would break her bones if not straightaway kill her. She knew she had to do something.“I can do this.” She used the other hand to create a curving earthen structure and rolled down the structure and made her landing much smoother. Nevertheless, her whole head was spinning as a result. It took her half-minute just to be able to stand and be able to see properly.“Where’s Eddie?”Sh

Many disciples stopped from entering Zone Q as a vast number of bubbles rose out of the ground and exploded upon touching anything.It wasn’t just the number but also the speed with which they rose that intimidated the disciples.If one wasn’t agile enough, they got blasted by the bubbles. Those without strong drive or high durability exploded into bits and pieces. It was just plain cruel they way some died.Edgar and Fabby also had to stop there alongside hundreds. While he wanted to try going forward, his sister grabbed his wrist so he couldn’t. They could hear other disciples talking.“It seems the top ten zones are going to be on another level compared to the rest.”“There must be quality skillbooks waiting to be picked. I wish I was stronger.”The outer disciples and even many of the inner disciples of various sects didn’t dare explore the higher grounds and chose to turn back.“Fighting for skillbooks in these types of environments is just suicidal,” Fabby pulled her brother awa
