Chapter 223
“He’s here for me?”
In that instant, countless thoughts appeared in Nori’s mind.
Nheless, he did not show in on his face, and he quietly waited for Kyle’s next action.
When Kyle approached Paul, he scratched his head.
That seemed to be his signature move.
Then, Kyle shed an awkward smile at Paul, asking, ”May I know if you‘re Casper Montgomery?”
“Yes, I am.
” Nori nodded and smiled faintly.
After getting the confirmation, Kyle’s eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, “I’m interested in having a
battle with you in the Immortal Soldiers Arena.
It’s just a friendly one, and we’ll stop when necessary.
Casper, what do you think? Can we? Can we, please?”
As he said that, Kyle looked at Nori with a face full of eagerness.
Since Kyle entered the mission pavilion, many disciples paid attention to him.
After all, since he was in the top 100 of the spiritual apprentice list, Kyle was a famous figure among
the apprentices.
Hence, everyone was curious about his purpose for suddenly visiting the mission pavilion.
When everyone heard that Kyle wanted to battle Paul, exmations and gasping sounds could be
heard around them.
“Kyle, a top 100 apprentice, is here to invite Nori for a battle!”
“They’re even going to the Immortal Soldiers Arena.
This is considered a formal challenge, right!”
“Goodness! Didn’t Casper just recently arrive at the sect? Even though he killed Brayden, it was still a
joint effort.
Moreover, the other members of his team were all inner disciples, and it’s tough to say how much
Casper did back then.
However, is Kyle here to challenge him just because of that?”
“Kyle is known to have a habit of finding other people to battle with him, but it’s ridiculous that he
comes here just to look for a newly-entered disciple!”
“Wow! It’s such a great honor to be invited by Kyle for a battle! Why am I not Casper?!”
Suddenly, the crowd went into a heated discussion.
When Kyle heard their words, his face immediately reddened.
Kyle hurriedly exined, “Casper, it’s not like that.
Please don’t misunderstand me.
”Nori thought Kyle’s anxious and helpless look was extremely interesting, so he purposely put on a
stern face and asked, “Then, why do you want to battle with me? I’ve only been in the sect for two
months.
To be honest, I’ve yet to master the introductory cultivation method.
You must give me a reasonable reason.
”Kyle’s face flushed a deeper red.
Then, as if he was afraid that Nori would reject him, Kyle waved his hands and answered, “Casper, I
heard a few days ago you’ve beaten John Newman, right?”
Nori’s eyes glimmered, and he chuckled.
“Kyle, you‘re pretty well-informed, aren’t you.
”Kyleughed sheepishly and scratched his head.
“To be frank, I’m still among the top 100 in the spiritual apprentice list, and it‘s not hard for me to find
out about certain news.
I’m here today to confirm if you defeated John
”“Are you here to avenge John?” Noriughed.“Of course not.
I don‘t have that time of friendship with him.
” Kyle shook his head.
“Even though John is ranked around one hundred and thirty in the spiritual apprentice list, his actual
strength is not that great, and he was just lucky at the drawst time.
With his capability, I estimate that his ranking should be around two hundred.
However, you’ve defeated John, who’s a mid-level first-stage Pulse Control realm, despite only being
an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm.
Hence, there must be something extraordinary about you, and I’m itching to have a battle with you.
When I heard you’re back, I immediately came over.
I hope you’ll battle with me once, Casper.
”After saying that, Kyle hurriedly added, “We’ll just have a friendly battle and swap pointers in the
Immortal Soldiers Arena, and I’ll not harm our rtionship.
Just take it as… Just take it as a warm-up session before the actual spiritual apprentice list
competition.
“Isn’t this warm-up session a little too soon?” Nori chuckled.
When Kyle heard Nori‘s words, his face immediately turned gloomy as he thought Nori rejected him.
However, he swiftly heard Nori saying, “Nheless, since you’re already here to invite me for a battle,
it won‘t be polite for me to reject.
If that’s the case, let‘s just follow what you said.
Stop when necessary and not harm our rtionship.
”Upon hearing these words, Kyle’s face was full of excitement again.
Nori blushed from seeing how fast Kyle changed his expressions.

Then, the two of them walked together toward the Immortal Soldiers Arena, and it was apparent that
Kyle was familiar with the route.
Seeing Kyle’s cheerful expression, Nori could not help but recall the disciples’ discussion before, and it
was true that Kyle was eager to learn from others.
Since he was ranked in the top 100 of the spiritual apprentice list, Kyle would surely have ample
experience inbat.
At the thought of that, Nori revealed a faint smile.
However, if one looked closer, one would notice that his smile did not reach his eyes.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the immortal Soldiers Arena.
As Kyle was a frequent visitor here, he directly looked for the disciple in charge and gave a spirit stone.
“Help me arrange for it.
”As Kyle was prepared, Nori looked at the Immortal Soldiers Arena’s rules on the stele beside.
After reading it, he quickly understood why Kyle did that.
The Immortal Soldiers Arena not only had a limitation on the number of disciplespeting in a day
but to prevent anyone from maliciously scoring a winning streak, the formations within would also
arrange two disciples of the simr winning rate topete.
Kyle naturally had a battle record in the Immortal Soldiers Arena.
However, as that was Nori‘s first time here, he did not have any previous record.
Hence, if they did not cheat, Nori would be arranged topete with another neer like him.
However, with Kyle’s arrangement, the disciple quickly gave each of them a jade tag.
As Nori went through the rules before, he understood that during the battle in the Immortal Soldiers
Arena, the winner would be the one breaking their opponent‘s jade tag.
However, if participants felt they could not hold on any longer, they could break their jade tag, which
would be considered losing the game, and be sent out of the arena immediately.
“Casper, let’s go,” Kyle urged with a smile on his face, and he took the lead by walking into the room.
Soon, Nori followed him.
Their battle was a short one, and Nori was sent out in less than ten minutes.
It was apparent that the first one sent out was the loser, which meant Nori lost.
The next second, Kyle went out with a dissatisfied expression.
“Kyle, your formation skills are extraordinary.
I admit my defeat,” Nori said as he cupped his hands.
That was also the truth.
After thepetition started, Nori thought Kyle would be like the others and showed martial skills to
face him.
However, the situation was different from what he expected.
Although Kyle did showcase some martial skills, he only used them to avoid Nori and create a distance
between them.
Otherwise, his battle technique would be using multiple array maps.
These array maps were naturally unlike the Mysterious Frost and Light Formation that Sebastian
showed before, as the cost was too high.
Nheless, even though the ones Kyle showed might be cheaper and weaker, they won in terms of
speed.
Hence, after a round of bombardment of sluggishness, pressure, fear, and disturbance by the multiple
negative formations, Nori was stunned by the attack and lost the battle in less than ten minutes.
