BXBX NOVEL Chapter 201 Worry Of Naran's Geniuses
31 yarns in five days. If not for the talent of his, Ezra would not have even dared to imagine such progress.
"The wind essence has been used up, I'll have to go buy more… It's also time to return the jade strip, but it's a little unfortunate about the numerous experiences from the seniors and elders recorded inside. Looks like I'll need to borrow it again when needed."
Ezra began to calculate, and a pained look suddenly rose on his face. He had realised he now had less than ten Spirit jade pieces remaining.
All of his time had been spent on the Gossamer Steps technique, and he had not visited the Task Pavilion nor taken on any assignments there. Hence, he naturally had no Spirit jade earnings.
While he sighed, several figures flew over from far away, landing beside the creek.
Ezra Zephyr lifted his head, discovering that it was Xyr, Theor Galearms, Zulfi Dimitry and the rest.
"Your majesty, you're living a little too relaxed." Theor's tensed face was filled with worry.
"Your majesty, we are in really big trouble this time." Argus let out a bitter laugh. "We ended up offending the instructor, they're after all official outer mountain disciples, while we're merely tiny shrimps in comparison. Moreover, we have to rely on their guidance to learn our spiritual techniques."
"Shut up, Argus. Are you questioning his majesty?" Zulfi warned, he acted as 2nd in charge after Ezra Zephyr.
During the past two days, news that Ezra Zephyr and Naran Continent's disciples had been shut out from all the instructor lessons had spread like wildfire.
As a result, all the geniuses of Naran were no longer able to sit still and came rushing over.
The prince did hear about it a little, but did not pay much attention to it. From his point of view, he currently did not need the guidance of those so-called outer mountain disciples.
"Your majesty, maybe you should yield to Roshi. I'll go back and help you send him some gifts to see if we can resolve this matter." said Gill Subzi
He thought very highly of Ezra Zephyr and did not want him to end up being unable to learn any spiritual techniques due to a single impulsive clash that had led to Roshi sabotaging the former.
Everyone was desperately trying to raise their strength during these three months, and learning spiritual techniques was one of utmost importance.
If Ezra and they were to be disadvantaged in this aspect, they would surely fall behind others in the peak selection ceremony three months later.
The prince merely chuckled when he heard this, his impression of Gill Subzi growing a little more favourable.
He waved his hand and said. "You need not worry, I know what I'm doing."
At the sight of Ezra's expression, Gill Subzi could only let out a bitter chuckle. He knew that though the young man before him seemed like a cocky person, he was in actuality very wise.
Theor Galearms and Gill Subzi were the most shrewd amongst the group, and thus knew what their leader currently lacked the most. Hence, both grinned and said, "Your majesty, we see that you've been training hard these past few days and didn't really come out to accept any missions, so you should be almost out of spirit jade pieces, right? If you need, we can give you some."
Ezra thought for a bit but ultimately shook his head. "No need for the time being. If it does come to that, I will go look for you guys."
"Alright then, I'll be heading to the Mystic Demon Library to return the spiritual technique jade strip."
Ezra smiled at the group before he jumped off into the sky with his thundering lightning.
As they watched him leave, the geniuses of Naran Continent exchanged a look and sighed. They did not truly understand Ezra Zephyr's current situation. Not to mention, even they were rejected by instructors because of their relationship with Ezra, but none dared to mention that.
"This is no good… if this continues, we will not be able to learn even a single spiritual technique after the three months are over. What will we have to show in the peak selection ceremony then?"
...
When the prince once again arrived at the Mystic Demon Library, the passing disciples constantly swept their gazes towards him, gazes that were filled with pity.
Ezra's expression remained calm as he proceeded to return the jade strip at the counter
"Hehe, isn't this Ezra? Have you learnt the Gossamer Steps technique yet?" At this moment, mocking laughter was heard from the side. Ezra turned his head, seeing Moshi with several figures behind him, their eyes filled with a toying look as they watched the former.
Evidently, Moshi had received news the moment Ezra arrived, and thus brought several others to come to watch.
Ezra indifferently said, "I've not seen your elder brother recently, is the wound on his face still not healed? And what about his leg, too bad it can't be grown back. Such a pity that the instructor of Gossamer Steps doesn't have a leg to move like the wind."
The Razor Pearl Eagle already came back to him that night, he knew the amount of damage Roshi received.
Moshi's expression turned rigid, a vicious look in his eyes as he glared at Ezra and said through gnashed teeth, "What's there to be proud of by relying on a beast!"
Ezra smirked superficially as he retorted, "Are you saying that your elder brother is inferior to a beast?"
"How dare you!" Moshi's eyes hardened as powerful spiritual energy exploded from his body. He stared daggers at Ezra and threatened, "Do you want to die?!"
"This is the Mystic Demon Library and fighting is prohibited here. Do all of you want to be punished?" A clear voice sounded from the side. They turned, only to realise Ravina Ingale was frowning slightly as she watched them.
Moshi took in a deep breath, having no choice but to suppress the fury in his heart. Anger still colored his eyes as he glared at the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom and said with a disdainful sneer, "Ezra Zephyr... go ahead and continue to be so cocky."
