Edgar and Gossini were traveling in the valley on the musculars. Electricity covered Edgar’s hairs and spread out enough glow for them to freely walk around.
“Your sister said she’d make a pillar, but why can’t we find one?” Gossini wondered. “Did they think it’s too much of a risk to do in this valley?”
“That’s possible,” Edgar looked a bit worried, “but since she said that she’ll raise a pillar, then she will. So she probably hasn't arrived yet.”
“Mm…” she still seemed a bit doubtful. “But… just in case, is there any signal that you can give and—”
Edgar shot electricity into the air, which formed into a silly-looking jasmine flower. “I h

WHIT 148 - THE HEART, THE WINGS, AND THE CLAWS
When one of her webs sent vibrations, Nura looked to her right and saw Tenzai. She smiled and licked her lips.“Shit! Why does it have to be this woman of all!” Tenzai immediately turned around and fled.“Not so fast,” she plucked one of her hairs and made that strand of hair stiff as a needle by sending drive into it. She put the needle on her palm and gently blew air. The needle went and struck in the back of Tenzai’s neck after piercing its way through his wig. “Got you.” When she closed her fist, he came flying toward her, and his body wasn’t under his control.“Ah, what the fuck are you doing!” he got pulled back with a great force. Tenzai fell right before her feet.“You are quite heavy, but..”
WHIT 149 - EDGAR VS ZYLER
Zyler just watched as Edgar and Gossini approached on their musculars. They didn’t stop but just went past him, without even exchanging glances. However, after going a few feet, Edgar’s muscular stopped. He turned his head back and asked, “Have you seen two people, senior? One blue-haired fellow, and a girl with a shaved head.”Zyler’s eyes slightly widened. “Why do you ask?”“We are all part of a team.”“Oh… but before I say anything, where are your manners?” Zyler’s voice deepened a bit. “You are talking to an outer disciple without even introducing yourself, much less getting down from your beasts.”A few seconds of silence passed as they exchanged stares.
WHIT 150 - YOUNG NIGHT
Fabby and Tenzai just found a cave, and after releasing the musculars to roam nearby, they entered the cave, hoping to hide inside. Luckily, there was a water stream and many plants growing inside because there were holes in the ceiling and enough light reached inside.However, there was already a hooded man, dressed in a green cloak decorated with silver, resting inside. Seeing how he wasn’t wearing a uniform, he could be a foot disciple or even an inner disciple, so the two of them turned to leave.“You can rest here,” just then his voice reached their ears, “if you want.”They didn’t think he was awake, but after hearing his words, they couldn’t just leave, so they sat on the opposite end of the stream.“I’m Tenzai
WHIT 151 - LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
The next morning.Fabby was the first one to wake up in surprise. On one hand, she felt angry at herself that she had fallen asleep, but on the other hand, the blankets made her think.Numo was nowhere to be seen, but Tenzai was still snoring like a pig, having fully wrapped himself in the blanket. In fact, in his sleep, he had rolled quite a distance and was currently right next to the pond.Fabby tried to wake him up, but no matter how much she patted or pushed him, he showed no response. Eventually, she was fed up with it and then pushed him into the pond, and it worked wonders. Tenzai woke up like a cat. Though it took him some work to get out of the blanket, he eventually brought his head out and breathed.To her surprise, most of the swelling on his face was gone.After eating a papaya, they came out of the cave. They clapped thrice, but the musculars didn’t come. They tried it a few times, but there was no change.“You think they ran away?” Fabby wondered.“If they came across
WHIT 152 - SORRY FIGHT
In the Green Valley Inn, located in the southern border of Lero mountain.Dozens of groups occupied the seats, leaving only a few empty. Many foot disciples and outer disciples were enjoying food, alcohol, and beverages.Beast cores was the only currency taken in this inn.Fabby, Tenzai, and Gossini were seated at a corner table. Edgar, on the other hand, was at the main desk, ordering food. He just paid one strength core. After licking the core, the innkeeper, an elderly man in a leafy hat, said, “Mm, what’s the order?”“Four plates of chicken, and four mugs of honeyed lemon.”“That will cover it,” his eyes fell on Edgar. “What’s your name?”
WHIT 153 - THE BEGINNING OF WORRIES
The musculars were not allowed beyond the Green Valley Inn, so they had to be parked at the inn, and they would soon be delivered back to their respective stations they were rented from.All the mountains behind the inn and between the Great Eye were called the Worry Chains because they often worried the travelers for more than one reason.Fabby and Co were strolling along a road that had flowery gardens on either side.Fabby was asking Edgar to give Tenzai a new shirt because the current one was torn at places. However, neither Edgar nor Tenzai agreed to that. Edgar didn’t want to give another shirt for free, especially because Tenzai was just being too careless. Tenzai, on the other hand, just felt that a shirt would only come in his way.“Why are you sayin
WHIT 154 - PERFECT PLAYGROUND
The redback squirrels were feasting upon the barks of different trees. Whether there was dirt or mud or dung or gel or gum, they didn’t care. They just ate the whole barks, not just the insides, which showed how hungry they were in this winter season.Each of these squirrels were more the size of regular house cats, and after they had their fill, they roamed around, torturing other animals by jumping on their backs and skinning them alive. They often triggered the rhinos and the elephants that had bigger backs and took more time to fall let alone roll on the ground.When there were no beasts or creatures in their territories, they attacked each other and skinned themselves. So most of these adult squirrels had redbacks, which is where their name came from.Currently, as Fabby and Co were entering the Redback Z
WHIT 155 - FOUR SHADOWY CLAWS
The next dawn.At the edge of the Redback Zone, Fabby and Co had camped from the previous night.Fabby was the only one who slept throughout the night.Tenzai didn’t sleep at all, and he fully absorbed four strength cores overnight, and thanks to that, the wound on his arm given by a garden leech mostly healed.“Not bad. The cores of these squirrels seem to give multiple different boosts. I’m glad healing is one of them. Now I can hunt more of their kind, haha!” he laughed out loud, though not for long as no one else laughed along with him. “Ahem, anyway, I might not be able to use drive, but what about it, huh? I can still become stronger in other ways and will one day beat the living crap out of the Grebb family and then conquer the world
