WHIT 226 - THE THORN GAP III
“Be careful! Those thorny slugs will drink your blood very fast!”“And those water vines will pull you underwater and choke you to death!”Tenzai, Azar, and Liam stopped at a yellow lake, which looked like it was boiling. And they could see trying to cross it over boats.“Hell Lake…” Tenzai gritted his teeth. “If we fall, we’re goners. How the hell are we supposed to cross this lake?”“I can manage the flames,” Azar said, “but those slugs can spit water, so if they gang up, I won’t be of much help.”“The real problem is the vines,” Liam opined. “We won’t be able to use our strength if those things bind our limbs.”“At least they’re not attacking the boats, so we might have a chance,” Tenzai said. Just then he saw a figure hopping on different boats and reaching the other side.“What a speedy foot technique!” Liam was greatly impressed by it. “Even though the boats are in disorder, she managed to use them as her footing. Who the hell is she?”“If I’m correct, she’s Chace,” said Tenzai.
WHIT 227 - THE THORN GAP IV
“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
WHIT 228 - NOT QUITTING
When Edgar woke up, he found himself in a tent. The first thought that came to him was that he failed, and it disappointed him greatly.He glanced to his right. Fabby was sitting on the chair and was reading a book. His bad mood disappeared pretty quickly seeing her so immersed in reading. When she was a slave she had to teach him how to write secretly. She always wanted to read a lot of books, and now seeing her reading a book really bloomed happiness in his heart.“What book are you reading?” he asked.“You woke up! Finally!” she sighed, snapping the book shut. “It’s been 20 hours.”“I slept that long?”“After you were healed by a master.”“Oh, who healed me?” Edgar curiously asked.“Someone called Evan Dregs. A master of the Red Roses sect. He said you suffered 210 broken bones on your body. If you had kept going longer, you would have died.” Her expression was slightly serious.Edgar’s mouth turned down. ”I was just… giving it my best.”She faintly smiled. “That’s why we passed.”
WHIT 229 - DELVING DEEP
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
WHIT 230 - SWORN BROTHERS
Pallavi from the Spear Chasing sect, Melita from the Honeywell sect, and Tabitha from the Rushing River sect were sparring at night.Melita was the most aggressive of the three. She was the only one left from her sect, so she was frustrated, to say the least. She threw sharp weapons imbued with drive that could pierce through tree trunks and leave holes in rocks.Pallavi, the one with unusually-big front two teeth, used her spear to create energy formations and successfully neutralized the enemy’s attacks. She was mostly defensive while going overdrive.Tabitha, the girl with thick thighs, used Sheerdrive to release water attacks that turned into vapor before reaching the opponents. Her attacks were so hot, the nearby leaves of the trees shriveled.Edgar and Fabby were watching their fight from about 200 ft away.“They have been at it for more than twenty minutes,” Fabby said, astonished. “And they don’t look tired. No matter the sect, all the core disciples participating in this tour
WHIT 231 - MUSCLES OF METTLE
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
WHIT 232 - THE FOURTH ROUND
At the Great Light, also known as the eye of the peninsula, next to the elder hall was the great mountain Elderberg, one solely dedicated to the elders of the sect.Currently, it was chosen as the grounds where the fourth round would be conducted at.Standing at the base, the disciples couldn’t even see the top.“I heard it’s 26,000 meters tall, and the atmosphere changes every thousand meters.”“So it has 21 different atmospheres, huh.”“Yeah. This is where the elders of our sect hone their skills.”Some disciples swallowed their breaths.Ruth Raj an elder of the Evergreat sect, and Yurum Bims the pill maker from the Ogvi Warriors sect were talking to the 7108 disciples.“We’ve put 2000 public skill books of all stars at different levels of the mountain,” Yurum said. His hair was like rings with pills stored in them. “All you need to do is pick at least one book and make it back to the starting point. You have a two-day time limit.”The disciples’ hearts skipped from hearing those wo
WHIT 233 - HARD TO GET
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
