Chapter 215 1st Session Begins
"Brother Ash, is this really going to work? I feel like we're clowns." Beside Ash stood a pretty girl in a long dark blue skirt. She was called Telhi, and was also a pretty prideful first class disciple.
At this current moment, she was feeling a little uncomfortable under the many mocking gazes in the vicinity. Hence her earlier grumbling.
Evidently, she too did not believe that Ezra Zephyr was able to teach the Gossamer Steps technique.
Ash smiled awkwardly when he heard this, somewhat uncertain as he answered, "It should work out."
Telhi unhappily rolled her eyes. "Brother Ash, you're too good hearted."
"Sister Telhi, brother Ezra would only make such a claim because he is confident." Said a girl called Shui in a soft voice. As someone who was also from the Non Shiyan Continent, she would naturally side with Ezra.
"I hope so, or he will not be able to deal with the consequences." Telhi crossed her arms, declining to express any further opinions.
While they were chatting, Ezra looked over. He knew that everyone would be doubtful, but he did not intend to convince them with words. Everything would be shown through facts.
With so many people watching, he would make good use of this chance to show them the truth.
"Let's begin."
Every gaze in the vicinity of the mountain creek converged towards him when they heard him speak.
Most of these gazes, however, were filled with doubt and ridicule.
In the vicinity of the mountain creek.
Mahi was gracefully standing nearby, her pretty eyes gazing towards the creek.
"Tell me the truth Mahi. Was he able to master the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique so quickly because he got some kind of amazing treasure from your old ancestor?" At Mahi's side was a young lady in pink clothes.
She was rather pretty, her beauty enhanced by her limpid eyes. Her greatest assets however were the proud, astonishing curves on her chest that were tightly wrapped by her clothes, causing many of the surrounding male disciples to involuntarily cast a peek as they swallowed uncomfortably. Her beauty rivalled Mahi's.
This girl was called Natli Teum, and was also a first class disciple from the Rhiyan Continent. She was rather well known in the outer mountains, though not as famous as Ravina and Mahi.
She was also acquainted with Mahi, hence why she had taken the chance to secretly ask her earlier question.
"You believe such rumors?" Mahi frowned as she glanced at the former.
Natli chuckled. "I feel that these so-called rumors are a little more believable than the alternative."
Her eyes swept across Ezra's figure. Though there was no contempt in her gaze, it still contained a little of the pride all Rhiyan disciples had.
Evidently, she too did not believe that a kid from some remote continent would be able to achieve something they Rhiyan and Shiyan disciples could not.
Mahi shook her head, not bothering to explain anything.
Another girl beside her said, "Just watch and see." it was Ravina Ingale
Natli was rather surprised by the deep trust Mahi and even Ravina had in Ezra, especially because she clearly knew how proud and distant the latter was. Ordinary disciples were unable to even catch her eye, and even Drake Tubble's repeated attempts to get close were only met by cold responses.
Hence, Natli Teum was unable to wrap her head around why a blessed daughters of the heavens like Mahi and Ravina would have so much faith in a kid from this remote continent.
Natli timidly said, "Ravina, you seem to have become quite close to Ezra recently. I've heard that Drake is feeling very uncomfortable due to this."
The red haired Ravina frowned slightly. "Is any of this Drake's business?"
Natli replied, "Do you still not understand his intentions?"
Ravina cast a sideways glance at the former. "He asked you to speak for him?"
Natli smiled awkwardly. Ravina icily said, "You can tell him that it will be in his best interests not to interfere. Or else, don't blame me for falling out with him."
Natli helplessly said, "I'm only a messenger, don't flare up at me."
Natli coldly snorted, choosing not to speak anymore as she looked towards the creek again, while Mahi laughed.
Natli swallowed, and also turned towards the creek as she unhappily said, "Alright, I'm interested to see for myself just how capable this huge braggart is, that even our proud big missy Ravina has acknowledged him.
But I also hope that he isn't just full of hot air, or it will not be easy to wrap up this matter today."
...
"Let's begin." The moment Ezra's words sounded, countless amused gazes on both sides of the creek looked down towards him, as if waiting to watch an entertaining show.
Ash Bekham, Telhi, Shui and the rest exchanged a look, before seating themselves beside the creek.
"Brother Ezra, what do we do next?"
Asked Ash. Although he appeared relaxed, a sliver of anxiousness was visible in his eyes. After all, if Ezra failed today, the consequences would be very dire indeed.
Just the mocking laughter of the numerous disciples present would likely drown him.
What's more, Roshi had already declared that he would report Ezra to the Law Enforcement Hall if he were to fail.
This would likely result in Ezra Zephyr being kicked out of the outer mountains, an extremely terrible price to pay.
The prince of Bloodfang Kingdom casually said from the rock he was seated on, "Everyone should begin circulating the Gossamer Steps technique."
Everyone closed their eyes upon hearing this, and began to circulate the Gossamer Steps technique.
Under the attention of countless gazes, Ezra called out the Chaos force from his body. It began to thunder as his hand grasped around it, the Reddish Black bolts shooting out, turning into a dozen strings that wrapped around the wrists of Ash Bekham and the rest.
"I will send my senses into your bodies through the spiritual energy. When the time comes, you guys only need to release your control over your Spiritual Energy, and allow me to direct it." Ezra's voice was transmitted into everyone's ears.
