WHIT 252 - ROSE WATER
What awaited after a long bath at the Setting Spring Pool was the grand meal arranged by the White Tigers sect.From the four-eared fountain deer to the sky-leaping leopard, never before seen dishes by common men were made.Edgar and Fabby, as usual, loved and felt very much grateful for all the meals, but they were mostly eating the prawns. There was something about the prawn meat that the siblings loved so much they were competing with each other and even stole from each other’s plates.Tenzai laughed from seeing the siblings quarrel over the prawns.“Do you know them?” Azar asked Tenzai.“Yeah. A little bit. We fought with our backs to each other,” replied Tenzai, chewing on his favorite pork rib, which he very much liked because of its spiciness as well as the depth of flavor.“That’s not just a little bit,” Liam remarked and looked at the siblings. “They are fighting at the dining table, which isn’t funny. Back in my family…”“Everybody has their own eating style, Liam,” Azar int
WHIT 253 - INSANITY UNFOLDS
At dawn, the participants all gathered at the sky stadium that was built overnight. With over 40,000 square meters for the arena, and more than 400,000 seats for audiences, its sheer size was mind boggling to look at.Many of the 238 participants were all warming up their bodies as they were told that the sixth round would be one-on-one matches. Though it would take long to finish the round this way, the Red Roses Sect still chose this method, so there was nothing else the other sects could do but follow.As minutes passed, some of the participants were just sitting in their chairs and didn’t look healthy at all. Tenzai was also among them, and he was clutching his belly because his stomach had been upset since last night. He initially thought it was just him who had to do the runs since last night, but now, he realized that he wasn’t alone. Many others also had the same problem. After discussing with each other, it didn't take long for them to narrow down to the culprit.It was the Ro
WHIT 254 - PERILOUS PLACE
Hellacious-red flames soared high and spread wide in the audience stands, seeking to devour everything in its path as Dina kept pouring energy into her flaming chains that still kept more than thirty people chained, with Exses stuck in the center.With this extremely aggressive approach, Dina made her aim and intention crystal clear. It was to melt the opponent down to the bone and beyond, until his ashes couldn’t be distinguished from those that would perish alongside him.Some of the disciples, whether they were still in the competition or not, took the effort to stop Dina’s flames from spreading further and causing more destruction. With their combined efforts, they restricted her flames into a confined space.“Hehe,” Dina grinned.“Damn,” Gossini, who wasn’t very far from Dina, realized something. “She predicted this would happen? Now that the fire is cramped because of the barriers others put, the flames will burn harder. Those people bound by her chains… won’t even be able to bre
WHIT 255 - NOT HALF BAD
Edgar vs Pankaj.“A core disciple vs an outer disciple? This can’t even be called a fight.”“But the outer disciple is from one of the four great sects, and what about this Muddy Flower Sect? I’ve never heard of it before. Maybe the core disciple of that sect is no big deal?”“Only a dozen or so outer disciples managed to reach this round, so this fight could be interesting.”The merchants discussed among themselves.Joan Morales, the patriarch of the Muddy Flower sect, was smiling. “It’s just an outer disciple, but it’s still a good opportunity to gain some name. Thrash that outer disciple so hard that everyone will be left speechless, Pankaj.”Pankaj was the first to enter the new arena. With a flower hairstyle and with a peaceful look on his face, he managed to get a good first impression from many of the audience.Edgar, on the other hand, was still in his seat because Fabby tightly held his hand as if telling him to not go.“If things get dangerous, I’ll stop, Sis,” he assured.S
WHIT 256 - TAKING IT BACK
The earthen spear came straight at Edgar’s face.“Kugh!” Edgar moved his head to the side as fast as possible. The spear scraped past his cheek.Pankaj frowned and immediately spat at Edgar’s head. Brownish saliva shot out like a bullet and struck the back of Edgar’s head and melted the skin and bone.Edgar rolled on the ground and cringed in pain.“Is that acidic mud?” The audience was surprised.Pankaj didn’t give any time for Edgar to breathe and attacked with his spear, thrusting it down at Edgar’s head, looking to drill a hole inside.“Eddie! Watch out!” Fabby cried and was about to move out of her seat.“White Bite!” A blast of electricity exploded out of Edgar and pushed Pankaj back.“What the heck?” Pankaj was visibly surprised. “He has a lightning ability?” Some of the audience were also shocked as it wasn’t a common ability.“I apologize for not showing it sooner,” Edgar turned into a blur. “Flying Flash Arts…”“What?” Pankaj couldn’t believe that Edgar slipped out of his si
WHIT 257 - BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE
“Knock him out of his senses, huh,” Pankaj dashed toward Edgar. “I’d rather knock the life out of him!” Fabby jumped out of her seat. The distance between her and Edgar was much greater compared to the distance between Pankaj and Edgar. Moreover, two core disciples of other sects blocked her path, saying, “You shouldn’t intervene.” “Nonsense!” Fabby growled. “He’s my little brother!” She tried to go past them even if it meant that she had to wrestle with them. Pankaj already reached Edgar by that point. Edgar, who was unable to stand up straight because of the pollen released by Pankaj’s fists, looked like an easy target now. “I’ll crush your head to a thousand pieces!” Pankaj mercilessly threw his ruby-fist down. Suddenly, a thundering noise echoed in the sky, and a lightning bolt came down and struck Pankaj in the blink of an eye, shocking almost every disciple watching the match. The sky was clear, so where the heck did such a strong lightning bolt come from? Many disciples w
WHIT 258 - HOT BATH
As the matches continued on in the colosseum, Fabby who was sitting in the audience stands along with her brother sent a signal through the earth.The earth in front of Gavin moved a bit, and words appeared on the surface.“Greetings, Elder. This is Fabby. My brother urgently needs an ice bath. Can we leave now?”Gavin glanced in their direction and sent a mental message, “Why are you asking me that? Your matches are finished, so you can go, but be careful. Since you two are not in good condition, someone might pick on you guys.”“I’ll keep that in mind, Elder Gavin,” Fabby replied. (Did he just send a message directly to my brain? How did he do that?) She then looked at Edgar who was still huffing. “Let’s go, Eddie.”“Where?” Edgar quickly asked.“You should have an ice bath,” Fabby insisted. “It will help with your recovery.”“But I want to watch the matches. I'll take a bath later.”“These matches will take so long.”“Still, I will watch.”“Don’t be like that!” Fabby grabbed his ha
WHIT 259 - MISUNDERSTANDING
Dwarves took pride in very few things such as their ability to drink, to hammer iron and steel, to walk on hot coals, and to also have the courage to take a hit to the nose. Whenever a dwarf did something wrong, they would often get hit in their noses, because their noses were made for taking a beating. They were not stone-hard but were more rubbery. This was why dwarves were capable of sneezing long distances, and they could even breathe freely in a smoky coal chamber. They were literally built to breathe even in volcanic regions and work in mines deep underground. Nole obviously took great pride in his hook nose, which was quite popular among dwarven ladies. He had taken many hits on his nose and was confident of even blocking a sword with it. However, all that confidence was utterly crushed now because his beautiful nose was flattened from a single hit from Edgar. Of course, it wasn’t the strength of Edgar that did it, and it had more to do with the heavenly hammer! Nole’s cover
