The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 230

Although the letter was long, Anne still read through them patiently. As it was written more than a month ago, the narration of the events ended at that period too.

From the letter, Anne found that Boneng’s Dark Moon Sect also had a similar ranking competition like the Heavenly Stars Sect’s spiritual apprentice list. Moreover, Boneng’s master had set a goal for her, she must enter the top 20. Boneng complained about that ranking for a long time. Nonetheless, Anne was naturally aware of how difficult it was for a new disciple to compete against those high-level disciples who had years of experience, which could even be tens of years. However, Anne also understood that Boneng’s master gave her such a goal in the hope that she could understand that even if there were excellent guidance and protection from the sect, there would be a time when she needed to grab the resources on the pathway to immortality herself.

The little eagle that was constantly under the protection of a majestic eagle would never be able to soar and fight.

Anne also took another thing to heart, Boneng mentioned a senior named Robert Bleu multiple times in the letter, and she added that he looked after her.

With her wisdom, Boneng naturally understood that Robert was interested in her, and that was why he approached her. Nonetheless, Boneng was worried that Anne might have misunderstood her, and she kept assuring that she was disinterested in that guy.

When he read that, Anne rubbed his temples and snorted. “Robert Bleu… I remember this guy well.”

Back in Evergreen Town’s Lawrence Manor, when Anne was confirmed that his meridians were damaged, Robert was the one who crashed into his resting room and announced that the Dark Moon Sect did not want him anymore.

Anne still remembered Robert’s arrogant attitude and expression.

“I recalled Robert saying that he’s an inner disciple. If that’s the case, he’s a third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator.”

Anne blinked. “Hmm… My rival in love is still somewhat threatening. However, I hope this guy’s cultivation talent is good. After all, it won’t be long until Boneng surpasses his realm, and it’ll be awkward for him to court her like he’s doing now.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Anne chuckled. Then, he looked for paper and brush, ready to reply to Boneng. Although he focused on training since he entered the Heavenly Stars Sect, there were still a few exciting events along the way. Besides that, Anne also wanted to share whathe learned in cultivation with Boneng.

In truth, Boneng also mentioned many problems she faced during cultivation, and she even included her understanding. However, just like Boneng, Anne was stuck on a nickname for her too. Then, Anne saw the first sentence on the letter Boneng wrote for him.

“How are you, Dork? I hope this letter finds you well…”

Anne slowly repeated the few words, and a smile appeared on his face. Soon, he started writing.

“Hello Dummy, I hope this letter finds you well…”

A dork and a dummy, perfect match of two idiots.

“I’ve recognized you in St. Jade Chamber, yet you didn’t even know who I was. Dummy is a perfect nickname for you.” Anne shook his head, appearing extremely pleased with the new nickname he gave Boneng.

Anne wrote eloquently and ended up with dozens of pages. Anne read the letter once again, and after he confirmed that there was no problem, he finally realized that it was almost evening. He took six hours to reply to her!

The Heavenly Stars Sect had a similar relay station, just like the Dark Moon Sect. Unfortunately, Anne’s luck was not as good as Boneng’s, and no disciples or elders headed toward North Earlington at that time.

In truth, it was also not the right time. The lower realm disciples would be preparing for the qualifying tournament in the next few days, and the higher disciples would not be interested in earning these few spirit stones.

In the Heavenly Stars Sect, the core disciples and true disciples would receive dozens of spirit stones. Hence, offering these people merely a few spirit stones just to deliver a letter would be embarrassing. In the end, Anne could only resort to choosing delivery through the slowest method by caravan. Once the letter arrived at the Dark Moon Sect, it might already be April. Nonetheless, Anne was not in a hurry. The road to immortality was long, and there might be hundreds or even thousands of years ahead. Thus, the three months were not a big deal.

Anne watched with full expectations at the long line of caravans left further in the setting sun, slowly disappearing from his line of sight. Soon, he turned around and left. After all, his first competition in the Heavenly Stars Sect was just a few days away.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Then, on the morning of the fourth day, Anne heard the loud melodious bell ringing from a distance, and anyone who heard it would feel refreshed and energized. Soon, Anne opened his eyes, and the brilliance in his eyes was apparent. Later, Anne got up and left the house.

Anne was already aware of the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition’s information and rules many days ago. Hence, he directly visited the square where the tournament would be held. There was an arena in the middle of the square, surrounded by spectating stands and seats which were controlled by formations. Hence, there would definitely be no confusion.

The Heavenly Stars Sect had more than 15000 apprentices. At a glance, there was a bustling crowd. Nevertheless, Anne knew that among these 15000 people, there would only be at least 1,000 of them participating in the competition, and the reason was simple.

One could not join the competition just because they wanted to, but they needed to pay a participation fee. Nonetheless, the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition’s fee was neither cheap nor expensive, and it would require three spirit stones, which was an apprentice’s three months’ worth of salary.

Coincidentally, the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition would be held once every three months. That implied that if an apprentice did not have other ways to make money, he could only register for the tournament if he did not use the cultivation resources and frugally lived through days.

If they could enter the top 1000 and be qualified to be ranked, it would be better as they could get a reward. However, if they did not manage to do that, the three spirit stones they used to register would go to waste. Moreover, most apprentices were unlike Richard, who robbed a small fortune as soon as he entered the sect and even struck the pot of gold during his mission, resulting in him having a considerable wealth of more than hundreds of spirit stones.

Therefore, many apprentices would just watch the competition and not join it as they did not want to waste their hard-earned spirit stones. Only those disciples who were determined to be ranked would participate in the competition. Even so, only 1000 disciples out of the 4000 would be on the list, which meant that one person out of four would stand out. That ratio was rather cruel.

When Anne went to pay for the required fee, many disciples cast him a strange gaze. Many of them mocked, ridiculed, and sympathized with him, and people were even whispering one to another.

“What an overconfident person. Did he really think anyone could enter the spiritual apprentice list? He‘s only an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm, but he‘s already joining the competition. I’m eager

to see how badly he’ll be hurt later.”

“Sigh. Isn’t this normal? There would always be newcomers that thought they had outstanding talents. Then, when he’s tragically injured later and wasted his spirit stones, he’ll understand that no matter how good he is, there’ll be someone better than him out there.”
