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
WHIT 234 - REKINDLED BOND
As Sinta raised her hand and was about to snap, Edgar’s sense screamed something wasn’t right. He instinctively put his hand and his sister’s shoulder and released drive on himself and also covered her. The drive around their heads suddenly exploded into flames and vapor. Edgar and Fabby felt tremendous pain in their heads. Their ears bled, and they couldn’t even scream. While Fabby also released drive and did her best to withstand the invisible pressure, Edgar leaned forward and smashed the ground with his lightning-covered fist, making a thunderous noise in the process. The pressure gripping their heads quickly subsided. “Using sound to drive out sound, you’re quite reckless, boy,” Sinta remarked and wanted to play with them further, but the poison she had dispersed was gathering back again. Not wanting to miss Yoyo’s trail, she hastily left. The siblings, despite how much hurt they were, had to pick themselves up and keep running. Stopping only meant they would perish. Zone E
WHIT 235 - NORA LYTE
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
WHIT 236 - COUNTER VIBRATION
Fabby raised an earthen well just in time to block the opponents. They still managed to destroy the wall pretty quickly.“Flying Spear!” one of them threw a flaming spear, which came pretty fast. Edgar deflected it with his sword and felt his whole arm vibrating. He immediately became full-serious because these two guys were strong. “Get underground, sis! Sky Cutting Arts…” he unsheathed both of his blades and rushed at them, swirling on his feet. “Great Dragon Gale!”A tremendous column of wind formed and blasted both the men away and up into the air.Seconds later, Fabby came out of hiding and was shocked to see the twisting column of wind in the distance. “H-How the heck are you able to create that? It looks like a hurricane. Did you consume a wind-manipulating core without me knowing?”“No,” Edgar replied quickly. “I think the thunderbird core I consumed can manipulate weather. I realized that after I started practicing the book I found in the cave guarded by the two beasts.”Fabb
WHIT 237 - A COINCIDENCE?
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
