Chapter 1999 Austin''s Disappearance


    Pacing back and forth, Anderson said in a sullen tone, "I don''t care whatever happened! Now that I


    finally found such a promising young cultivator, you had no right to lose him!"


    He stopped and pointed a finger at Elder Chris.


    "If you don''t get him back as soon as possible, I will never let you go. You hear me?" Anderson then


    sulked on a wooden armchair and acted as if he would not listen to any excuses until his promising


    cultivator was returned back here.


    A man, wearing blue clothes, sighed and decided to intervene.


    "Oh,e on, dude, will you loosen up a bit and stop ming Elder Chris about it? Besides, after he


    came back with the new students, he came to me immediately and exined everything to me.


    I am certain that Elder Chris tried his best.


    Perhaps, that Austin had some unfinished business to deal with that he forgot about, or something had


    happened to him. Either way, you should not me Elder Chris for this issue.


    Setting that aside, are you really sure that Austin was the one who caused the abnormal phenomenon


    of the Talent St?


    Because, if that''s the case, it means that he is indeed the most talented cultivator in our Divine


    Continent for the past several centuries.


    To be honest, it still seems unbelievable."


    The man folded his arms across his chest as he thought about what Anderson had told him. Even


    though he tried to imagine it, it still seemed impossible for him. He shifted his weight to the other foot,


    and at first sight, he did look less than a cultivator because he didn''t release the vital energy.


    He gave an utmost impression of being poised but unambitious.


    Although he looked in his early thirties, he was much older than he appeared to be.


    Regardless of how he looked, this person was still the dean of the Blue Dragon School, one of the four


    biggest martial arts schools in the Divine Continent.


    Hearing what the dean just asked, Anderson frowned even more.


    "Are you telling me that you don''t believe what I said?" he responded and sounded annoyed.


    "Well, I''m not saying that I don''t believe you. What I''m trying to say is that it just seemed impossible.


    For the past four hundred years, no one in our Divine Continent was able to trigger the abnormal vision


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    of Talent St.


    Yes, it seems like our continent just did not have luck on our side, since there have been many


    incredible talents on the other continents.


    Then, out of nowhere, you tell me that an exceptional genius appeared and was able to do what we


    couldn''t for the past four centuries.


    We have epted the fact that our continentcked promising, talented young cultivators in the past.


    If this person really is as talented as you described him to be, then it is indeed great news to our


    continent, which is enough to celebrate about.


    However, since I wasn''t there and wasn''t able to witness the abnormal phenomenon of the Talen St


    with my own eyes, I still find it hard to believe, so forgive me if I sounded rude. Besides, part of me


    hopes it''s true, because it is very rare to meet an exceptional genius nowadays,"


    the dean said as he ced his arms behind his back.


    Anderson looked at the dean for a moment and rxed his expression.


    He turned to look away and said, "Hmm, I understand.


    You can ask Elder Chris about it, since he saw it with his own eyes.


    I''m certain that I did not make it up."


    With the topic diverted, Elder Chris enthusiastically confirmed with a nod and replied, "Yes, yes, dean, I


    saw the strange phenomenon of the Talent St with my own eyes, and there were more witnesses as


    well.


    To be honest, I have never seen quite like that in my whole life.


    I am certain that that Austin we speak of is indeed more talented than the other applicants."


    The dean nodded slowly.


    "Well, I sure hope so.


    Then again, why did Austin suddenly disappear? Did anything bad happen to him?"


    Anderson sighed and responded, "s, I hope he is all right."


    The dean noticed the worried look on Anderson''s face and said, "Well, I don''t think there is anything we


    can do at the moment.


    I''m sure that Austin will be back, so we should just wait for his return.


    Once hees back here safe and sound, I will observe him secretly, and if he really is an exceptional


    talent like you tell me, then I will focus on training him.


    Besides, in our continent, we never get in the way of our young talents. We just guide them, let them


    fight and grow on their own pace.


    Right now, all we can do is wait calmly."


    Anderson turned his nce at the dean for a while, who in turn was now looking at the horizon as if


    expecting the genius toe back sooner.


    He then looked at the direction to where the dean was looking at and nodded his head slowly, knowing


    that there was really nothing else they could do for the meantime.


    Meanwhile, back in the designated area for the new students of the Blue Dragon School, on the top of


    a mountain covered by clouds nestled a cave.


    Sitting cross-legged in the cave, a beautiful woman was meditating with her eyes closed.


    The woman was Stacy Ren from the East Maind.


    However, no matter how much Stacy concentrated, she could not focus, because her mind was filled of


    Austin. ''Where on earth are you, Austin?


    What happened to you?


    It has been almost a month now, so why haven''t you showed up yet?''


    When they were in the Mighty Mountains back then, Elder Chris had stayed there for ten days with the


    newly recruited students just to wait for Austin.


    However, they found no sign or trace of him.


    Hopeless, Elder Chris took the new disciples back to the Blue Dragon School in the Middle Pilgrim


    Land first, hoping that Austin would find his way to the school by himself.


    Stacy opened her eyes in annoyance. She often found herself in a huge mess because of how worried


    she was of Austin. "Ugh! Why does it seem like he has always been like this? He''s always making me


    worry!"


    She uncrossed her legs in frustration, but after a moment of thinking, she heaved a deep sigh and said


    to herself, "Then again, he has always been fortunate, so I don''t think he''ll get into any serious trouble."


    Feeling a little bit relieved andforted by that thought, she then forced herself to clear her mind and


    Even though there were some who were worried about Austin, there was no doubt that some were


    relieved to have him gone. In fact, since among the new disciples, who had been admitted to the Blue


    Dragon School, were people from the three holynds and noble ns of the East Maind; many of


    them took pleasure at Austin''s misfortune.


    "Well, would you look at that? A month has passed already, and Austin still hasn''te to school.


    I''m sure that even if he decides toe back here, the leaders would not let him in anymore!"


    "Humph! Austin was not qualified to this school to begin with.


    What''s more, I bet that Anderson, who showed up in the Mighty Mountains, must really have something


    to do with Austin. That''s why he was allowed to enter our school.


    Now that Austin is missing, I''m sure he had thising."


    "Well, well, well, I can''t wait to spread this news to the three other schools, and let all the new students


    from our East Maind hear about this.


    With that, people wille to know who Austin really is.


    He is just a piece of trash, an untalented person, who attempted to be admitted to our school with the


    help of connections.


    This is the best news I have ever heard in weeks, and I am certain that Austin deserves this; if not, he


    deserves worse for what he did."


    Because of these rumors circting around the Blue Dragon School, Austin became aughingstock to


    many of the new students from the East Maind.


    It could not be denied that Austin had lots of issues and conflicts with many of the top sects in the East


    Maind, so hearing that Austin was in trouble made these disciples satisfied and happy.


    However, the rumors soon faded down a little, because the most important thing for the hundreds of


    new students of the Blue Dragon School at this period of time was to prepare for the uing New


    Disciples Competition.


    Since the event was getting near, all the new students buried themselves in training. They worked hard


    and did their best to improve their fighting ability to the utmost strength they could in hopes that they


    would get good results to impress the leaders of the school.


    All of them were aware that they would enjoy a special treatmenting from the schools if they were


    able to perform well and stood out in thepetition.


    Of course, there was no doubt about that.
