WHIT 243 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (IV)
“Edgar, watch out!” Fabby howled.Dozens of disciples that had been watching their fight for a while now attacked Edgar almost from every direction.Edgar was always confident in his ability to hear things. However, in this Zone B, where there was a constant blizzard blowing about, hearing things wasn’t easy. Still, he heard a sword coming from behind, and he knew he had to move away, or the arm he was holding the skillbooks with would get chopped.His body reacted to his thoughts and moved away. As he predicted, someone attacked him with a large blade that just missed him.But Edgar still found himself frozen because a spear pierced him from the back and struck his shoulder. The four skillbooks fell before he could send them into his storage ring. Moreover, he was shocked because he couldn’t hear the spear at all, and it made him realize something as he jumped away from there. “He must have used sheerdrive to cover the spear. Dammit.”It was frustrating to jump away from the four ski
WHIT 244 - SIBLINGS TOGETHER (V)
While the siblings were in midair, Riku slashed his sword with both hands. “River Cutter!” A ghastly-huge earthen crescent blade manifested out of his sword, cut through the ground and sky at the same time as it flew into the siblings.Fabby shot a weak earthen gauntlet at Edgar, pushing him off the incoming attack’s path. She created a block of earth under her foot and used it as a footing to jump back. In doing so, both the siblings dodged from the attack, which otherwise could have likely killed both of them.The crescent blade kept on going for a few hundred meters and went into Zone B, breaking its way through the icy ground where Tenzai was running away from Pallavi. And the attack went through the gap between them.Gabriella and Venel were just returning from the higher zones, flying over a bird that she had summoned, and they noticed the destruction happening in Zone A and saw Riku and Yuri. “Those two are certainly strong,” Gabriella opined.“They are from the Jigu clan, afte

A few moments earlier.Fabby was being squeezed by the earth from every direction, and she never felt so terrified and overwhelmed before. It was dark, scary, and she felt utterly powerless as the earth around her behaved like her worst enemy.She thought it was her end until she heard Edgar’s roar faintly vibrating through the ground, and her expression immediately changed. How could she give up when her brother was still fighting? The overwhelming fear turned into unbridled rage, and a burst of vibrational earthen energy blasted out of her body and destroyed the earth around her.The shockwave of the blast also forced Yuri and Riku to back away. “Whoa… what’s this?” Riku was surprised.“The earth is vibrating?” Yuri frowned as she could feel the vibrations through her feet. This reminded her of the feeling she felt a little while ago during the fourth round. (So it was her. What sort of beast core did she consume for her to be able to do this at her level?) “Terrene Sight.” Her pupi
WHIT 246 - THE NEXT TEST
7108 people had participated in the fourth round, but only 623 people managed to reach the fifth round. Over 800 people died, and the Ogvi Warriors sect was proud of that. The top three that acquired the most skillbooks were Leo Baker(21), Ryu Reyes(39), and Kenna Spie(42). Nobody else managed to even cross the ten skillbook mark. Many skillbooks were left unpicked, which also made the Ogvi Warriors sect feel proud. Azar and Liam managed to get a book each in their hands. Pallavi gave a book titled ‘Gorilla Dance,’ to Tenzai. It was a seven-star skill that was useful to speedily travel in the jungle like a gorilla. So, he also passed the fourth round, but then Pallavi kept following him, asking him to marry her. “I don’t want you,” Tenzai refused her proposal. “I want you even if you don’t want me,” Pallavi still kept chasing him anyway. “But I think you’re just lying. You really love me, don’t you?” “No I don’t!” Tenzai ran away fast, but he just couldn’t escape from her. She wa
WHIT 247 - THE MAGNIFICENT BEAST
“Why do you guys always put the disciples through the same test?” The elders of the other sects kept asking the White Tiger sect this same question almost every time the Youth Games were conducted.Jeff Dank, a Great Elder of the white tigers sect, laughed boisterously as he replied, “There’s nothing better than watching warriors pitted against wicked monsters. You either get to see them tear through the beasts, or see them ‘running’ for their lives oh-so-pathetically.”Jeff Dank was known for his super speed. He gained his popularity for stealing the eggs from the dangerous beasts such as dragons and wyverns.Right now, Jeff was sitting with many others who were ready to witness a great fight at one of the colosseums where Fabby, Edgar, and Kira were there.Even after waiting for a while, nobody else came, so they entered the closed colosseum. Just the three of them.Kira was laughing. She didn’t even care about Fabby or Edgar. She was totally fine with fighting the beasts all on her
WHIT 248 - THE TRIGGER
The sloth grabbed Kira by the hair and lifted her up and smiled wickedly. As it was thinking on how to kill Kira, something struck its head so hard, its head moved forward, and it ended up kissing the whole face of Kira.Kira felt utterly revolted by that.The sloth tossed Kira aside, and touched the back of its head and groaned.“How did that feel?” Edgar’s right fist was shrouded with lightning. “No matter how tough you’re, hits to the head will still hurt.”Like he said, the sloth looked a little shaken as it felt the attack jolt its brain and whole body, but it didn’t look weakened like Kira had.In fact, the whites of its eyes began to turn red as excess blood flooded. “Wrraahh!” it roared. A throaty roar so loud, it made Fabby shut her ears. Edgar, however, was better able to bear it.“Here I come,” he turned into a blur and appeared at the seven o’clock of the beast and struck the beast at the kidney, mimicking what Kira had done a minute ago. “Heavy Cannon Bolt!” a tremendous
WHIT 249 - COURSING DRIVE
While getting whacked was embarrassing, Kira was fuming because the sloth had ended up kissing her whole face, leaving its dirty saliva and disgusting smell on her. Just for that reason, Kira wanted to break the sloth’s skull with her own strength. However, she wasn’t stupid. She joined the siblings and surrounded the sloth which looked bigger and madder than ever. She waited while the siblings rushed in together. Edgar’s left arm was compromised, and Fabby couldn’t use her attacks as freely as she wanted because her diaphragm still hurt. The more she exerted herself, the harder it proved to breathe. If it was another day, Kira would have just watched them die in the hands of a sloth, but today was different. If the siblings were to die, she would be forced to fight the beast alone, and she didn’t want that. After all, she knew very well that Jeff probably wouldn’t step in to save her even if the sloth was about to kill her. That was the risk participating in the fifth round carried
WHIT 250 - DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
Fabby and Edgar waited outside the colosseum, where a cross-eyed female merchant came to them and freely gave them a healing pill after hearing that they passed the fifth round. “I’m Ana Flores. I’m not so famous, but if you prefer quality over quantity, you can always look for me.” She gave them a cross-eyed token and left on her large, wingless, carnivorous chicken-like beast which ran pretty fast while making little to no sound with its feet. The siblings kept staring at the pills, wondering whether they should consume them or not. “They are safe to eat,” Honso came to them with a faint smile on his face. “Such pills are generally quite costly. You are lucky to get them for free. By the way, you two passed.” “Yes!” Edgar got excited, but Fabby didn’t show much of a response. Soon, both of them consumed the pills. To their surprise, their wounds began healing at a visible pace. Edgar’s badly-wounded arm was also recovering fast. “These pills are quite effective,” Fabby was aston

Edgar woke up, only to find himself in a pool of mud. He could feel that he was being healed by fish that were swimming in the mud and were nibbling at his skin.At first sight, it might look like they were eating him, but they were actually taking away the negative energy from his body, though he was not able to feel that.Edgar tried to grab one of those fishes, but they turned into pure mud, pleasantly surprising him.He looked at Fabby who was sitting in the distance, by the cliff. “What are these fishes, sis?”“Elder Gavin made them with his drive. He said they can suck away impurities from your body and make you stronger,” Fabby explained. “He said even your drive will get smoother and faster afterward. Also, the negative effect the beast cores have on our bodies can also be reversed, or so he said.”“Such a thing is possible with drive?” Edgar was both surprised and doubtful. “These fish are biting me, but I don’t feel any pain.”“Yeah. Just stay there until all those fish are

271 - DAY BY DAY
The eagle brought the siblings to a mountain range and dropped them next to Gavin who was weaving gloves with drive.He wasn’t surprised to see the position the siblings were in.“Here,” Gavin handed the gloves to the eagle, and it put the gloves on its feet and then screeched in happiness.“Haha, you like them, huh,” Gavin smiled. “They are durable as I knit them with my drive. So, don’t lose them.”Scree~!The eagle replied in a confident voice and then began to walk around happily in its new footwear.“They look like gloves, but they should be called socks, I guess?” Gavin wondered. “Ah, well, whatever…”Gavin then looked at the siblings, out of whom only Fabby was still conscious. She was trying to sit up, and it was taking her a while.“You don’t seem to have any external injuries. You are probably tired from using too much energy,” Gavin said. He sent a bullet of energy into her forehead, which didn’t hurt her but went straight into her brain and melted into it. This suddenly ga

270 - A DIFFERENCE TOO BIG
“Surfing Strike!’ Edgar’s foot viciously struck Ryu’s face and sent him flying high like a rotating paper fan. Any normal person would have had their head separated from their shoulders from that kick, but Ryu’s neck was flexible as well as sturdy as rubber.Ryu grabbed his head and stopped it from spinning before somersaulting and landing in the distance.“Huh?” Fabby was quite shocked by it. “Why is he not dead? Is he even human?”“His body is a bit special, you see,” Anarga smirked and then looked at Ryu. “But, hey, how could you get hit by that brat like that? You should be glad that there isn’t anyone else around, or it would have brought such shame.”Blood leaked from Ryu’s ruptured upper lip. He licked it and faintly smiled. “It’s been a while since I tasted my own blood.” His eyes turned red.“Oh, crap…” Anarga skipped backward. “You guys brought a disaster on yourself. When he goes into that frenzy mode, he’s unstoppable. Even I wouldn’t dare stand next to him because he can

269 - KNIGHT OF NIGHT
Anarga squeezed Edgar’s chest down, but when Edgar saw Ryu step toward his sister, he uttered, “Thunder Knight…”The ground beneath them cracked, and the air around them crackled. The very cliff itself vibrated in resonance with Edgar’s heartbeat.Anarga lost her balance just for a second. A double-edged lightning spear appeared in Edgar’s hand, and he thrust it right through her abdomen.She thought it would leave a hole in her, but it didn’t. However, it then electrocuted her to the point her clothes were half-burnt, and she looked like a semi-roasted grizzly bear.Ryu immediately clawed through the middle section of the spear and then took Anarga and jumped a few feet away. “How could you be so careless?”Anarga fell on one of her knees. Blood leaked from both corners of her mouth, even though she tried not to leak any blood.“Does it hurt that much?” Ryu asked.She gave him a glare.“I see…” Ryu then looked at Edgar, who was rising off the ground without the use of his hands, as th

268 - DRAGON THAT DEVOURS ALL FLAMES
Anarga’s body went into the rock, causing cracks all around her to spread for over thirty feet.Ryu’s feet were still locked by the earthen boots that Fabby had created, but he forcefully broke through them and whipped his leg at Edgar. “Dragon Knock!”“Ngh!” Edgar raised his left arm and blocked the kick with his forearm.Ryu’s foot forced its way through Edgar’s flame drive and struck his forearm and hit a nerve, sending a jolt of shock through to Edgar’s brain. On top of that, Edgar’s forearm got dislocated near the elbow.Ryu’s kick still sent a gust of energy over into the distance, which ended up blasting away a part of the cliff, shocking Fabby and Edgar.Fabby’s heart shook at that moment because if Edgar hadn’t deflected that kick, he wouldn’t have just got his arm dislocated. It was Edgar’s hunter-like instinct of parrying the kick at the last second was what saved him from experiencing a crushing defeat.Ryu didn’t even use drive. Whether he could even use drive or not, Edg

267 - HOTTER THAN FIRE
“Is this the best you can do?” Ryu said disappointedly. “I know you can do better, bald brat.” He treated Edgar as nothing more than a kid because he was much older than him. “Why don’t you show me what you got, or I’ll kill this bald girl.”Edgar, who was bleeding profusely from the chest, felt his soul stirring madly after hearing Ryu’s words.“Don’t listen to him,” Fabby said in a low voice. “We are not their match. Fighting them will only put us at a disadvantage. And there’s no one else here to stop the fight in case things go bad. It doesn’t benefit us in any way no matter how I look at it. Moreover, you are already badly injured.”Fabby’s words made total sense, but there was one thing that she didn’t consider. Edgar just couldn’t digest let alone accept the fact that Anarga Utsav had used her wind attack and pushed Fabby off the cliff. What if Fabby died from that?Edgar utterly disliked Anarga as well as Ryu. He didn’t want them to leave with a sense of victory.“Sis,” Edgar

266 - PERSONAL MISSION
“AHHH!” The siblings cried out in horror, mostly because of the pure shock value. Their eyes sprang out of the sockets. They totally didn’t expect that the eagle would do such a thing.Edgar was about to use his skill, but Fabby quickly said, “No, wait.”“Huh? Wait for what?” Edgar asked her back as winds viciously whipped at their faces.“Just wait,” she replied. As both of them kept getting closer to the ground, Edgar’s heart raced fast. “Screw this. I’m-” he was saying, but then the eagle suddenly came swooping down and caught both of them when they were about 100ft close to the ground and took them away with him.Edgar and Fabby held onto its talons so they wouldn’t fall.The eagle stopped by another mountain top and acted as if everything was okay.“You think I’ll thank you for saving our asses, you shitty bird!” Fabby punched the eagle hard in the face. “I thought I was going to die! You were the cause for scaring me near to death.”Even Edgar looked angry. His heart jumped in

265 - LOVE AND DUTY
Coming back to the present.The eagle had no idea who Edgar was, so Fabby had to do all the work except for flying. “Where is he?”She was worried for many reasons.The eagle even flew over the colosseum grounds, and she shouted for him, “Are you there, Eddie?”“Who’s that?” some masters and disciples wondered as she wasn’t clearly visible from below. “How rude of her to be flying over this place when the competition is still going on?”“He’s not here, either,” Fabby told the eagle to keep flying.As she kept looking around, she noticed someone bathing in an open pond. Just when she looked at him, he also looked up. She remembered his face mask. This was the same guy she met in a cave not long ago.Numo was not wearing a shirt right now, and his body was pristine white. It wasn’t muscular, but it still looked athletic and toned. It was very attractive, especially because he was a tall man.“Ahem,” Fabby looked away.After the eagle flew out of his sight, Numo continued rubbing his body

264 - THORNS AND THISTLES II
Months turned to years.Even though working in the fields had become a daily habit, so did the body pains. If not feet, then legs; if not legs, then back; if not back, then something else in the body took the turn. And by the time they got home, they were pretty tired, yet they wouldn’t be able to eat what they had produced or found.They were only given a limited amount of food such as corn or grains so they could make soup and live with it. The same plain soup with no vegetables in them whatsoever waited for them every night. And they were not paid anything else for their labor, for they were forced to work for the rest of their lives. There was no contract. Nothing. They were pretty much treated like cattle, or maybe even worse, with the only difference being their ability to talk. No matter how they were treated, they still worked hard, for most of them had reasons, be it their children and families.Fabby had Edgar, and Edgar had Fabby. Everyone had someone else they were willing
