In a split second after Gabriella’s hand pierced through Edgar’s collar, his hand grabbed her throat firmly.
She thrust her other hand at his heart. Edgar breathed hastily and ballooned his chest and not only blocked her thrust but pushed it back.
“White Bite!”
In midair, as both of them fell from hundreds of meters high in the air, a spherical mass of lightning snapped the winds and thundered across the whole neighborhood.
Gabriella got electrocuted within the field despite managing to activate flaming energy all over her body.
Edgar grabbed her arm that was still piercing through his trapezius muscle and pulled it out. He spun in midair and booted her jaw from the side, forcing one of her bloodied te

WHIT 108 - SEARCHING FOR THE SOURCE
The classes weren’t suspended but were just moved to other rooms in the lecture hall that the battle hadn’t affected. Still, there wasn’t as much crowd as in the morning, but there was more chatter. “An inner disciple has never been defeated by a foot disciple in the history of the sect. Just who is this Little Bolt?” “Well, Senior Gabriella only recently became an inner disciple, so she didn’t yet learn any of the sect’s staple skills. That’s why there’s no need to give too much credit to him.” “Still, it’s hard to believe that he’s only fourteen or maybe fifteen years old and is already so strong. If he’s gonna become an inner disciple, then he’s going to break the all-time record for the youngest inner disciple of our sect, which is at fifteen.” “But it won’t be e
WHIT 109 - MOVING THINGS
In the evening.Edgar was taken from the medical hall to the discipline hall. Fabby went along with him. This time, he wasn’t punished for fighting an inner disciple because it was a challenge approved by two masters. Still, he was fined for fighting in the lecture hall. One gold for all the destruction he had caused.One gold wasn’t a small amount. Poor people would take years to earn that much. However, if Edgar were to put his heart into killing beasts or acquiring their cores, then he would earn that in just a few days, mostly because it would take time to find good beasts.And Edgar couldn’t help but ask Ruth Raj, the current head of Discipline Hall, why he wasn’t punished for infiltrating the prison and escaping with his sister. However, Ruth simply responded by saying that Edgar wasn&r

In the dead of the night.“He’s the source, you say?” Edgar was slack-jawed upon hearing new information.“I couldn’t believe it either,” said Bontu, while chewing on a palmyra sprout. “But, well, I saw it with my own eyes, you know. I’ve always pitied him, but to think he was the one who was supplying drugs to others….” he shook his head in a bit of sadness.“Then let’s go to his room and make him sing,” Edgar said, but Fabby grabbed his ear and twisted it.“You are not going anywhere,” she demanded. “What you caused last night and this morning has already got us enough scoldings. I want no more of that.”“But how els
WHIT 111 - SKILL HALL
At around three in the night. At the border shared between the Great Joint, the Great Breath, and the Great Line. In the moonlight, with a muscular standing behind her, Fabby was standing outside the skill hall, looking at the building in awe. In front of the mountainous structure, she looked like an ant. Not just its size, but the aura it gave off was pulse-quickening. Outside the entrance was a chubby pot-bellied old man in a violet cloak sleeping sideways on the reception desk, with his hand placed under his head. “E-Elder Pandaar…” she bowed. A mild red energy rose out of his back and shape-shifted into a panda. “First-timer, huh. Name?” “Fabby. Fabby Estacio.”
WHIT 112 - LEARNING
Unlike inner disciples, outer disciples didn’t have individual training rooms to practice. So the first one to come could stay there for the rest of the day. No questions asked. Fabby had to wait outside one of the rooms on the top floor of the practice hall. At around four o’clock, the room was vacated, and then she entered. There was no ceiling inside. She particularly chose this room because of that. It was hundred meters wide in every direction, and the boulders there were partly destroyed due to being practiced upon. There were trees, rocks, boulders, and a small waterstream that connected the rooms. Overall, the atmosphere was akin to that of a garden, though she was inside walls. Without waiting, she took the scroll out in haste. As told, she sent her drive in
WHIT 113 - BUSINESS AND SERVICE
At around three in the afternoon, Fabby came out of the training room. “Where am I getting it wrong?” while walking, she was still thinking about it. “Why can’t I make a simple chain? The layers one and two were hard, but this layer three has eaten my brain. I don’t want to get stuck here for long.” Seeing the frustrated expression on her, a pointy-nosed adult dressed in blue approached her when she was alone at a corner. “Why are you in such a bad mood, young lady?” Fabby was startled upon seeing his robes. It was a master. “M-M-Master, do you know me?” “Of course, not,” he smiled gently. “I saw the worry on your face, so I came to ask. That’s all.” A flood of warmth spread through her heart when he heard those words. G
WHIT 114 - TWO TAILS
At seven in the night.Edgar and Bontu had been tailing Kane since morning. He didn’t wear the green scarf at any time, and he didn’t show any signs of making deals with people either.“This guy looked so dull since the morning,” Edgar kept his eyes on Kane like a cat would on a little lizard. “Did someone from his family recently die or something?”“From what I’ve seen, he’s always looked like that,” Bontu was nibbling on a mulberry leaf. “But looks can be deceiving, you know. By the way, where did you buy the palmyra sprouts? They were superb.”“I didn’t buy them. I found them on the way while I was returning from the eastern shore,” said Edgar. “He’s entering the wood
WHIT 115 - ARE YOU GOOD?
The next morning.Edgar woke up only to find himself sleeping next to Bontu in what seemed like an open garden. And to his shock, Kane was asleep on the other side of Bontu. All their wounds seemed to have been taken care of.Edgar just noticed that in the distance, an old man was fishing in a pond, sitting on a rock like a sturdy tree. Though he couldn’t clearly see the face, he remembered that attire. It was Gavin.After tying up Kane to a tree, Edgar then went to the pond.“I was expecting you to wake up,” Gavin said without even looking back. The pole-holding arm was absolutely still.“I… I didn’t get to thank you last time in the discipline hall,” Edgar bowed more than just a li
