Before long, many people had gathered to stand at the edge of the abyss. The man in the front turned to face the others and pointed behind him excitedly.
"Ha-ha! Would you look at that? It is the Red Tide Palace!
I need everyone to listen. The secret skill of the red demonic mouse will belong to me. If anyone dares to compete with me, I will kill every one of them!"
the tall man with a broad sword slung on his back announced to the crowd. His arms were as thick as tree trunks and a grisly beard covered the lower half of his face. He looked like he belonged in the wild, far away from other humans.
"I think he's a seeded disciple of the Black Tortoise School, Pope!"
someone exclaimed to their friend.
Despite the disciples of the four major schools having spent the majority of the day fighting in the Red Tide Land, they couldn't help marveling over this seeded disciple. They were in the presence of immense strength and power.
To witness a battle between a seeded disciple and an enemy would be incredible.
In the face of a tide of red demonic mice, the ordinary disciples would have to try with all their might to win and survive;
however, a seeded disciple could defeat them with their eyes closed. It was difficult to not drool over his presence.
"Ha-ha. That's what you think!
The treasure can belong to no one. It can't be owned; it can only enhance one's ability. You will never conquer it."
From the other end of the abyss, a young man dressed in white was walking towards them slowly. In his hand, he held a pale fan that he was waving to keep himself cool.
"He is a seeded disciple of our Rose Finch School. I heard that his fighting capacity is much stronger than Tevin's,"
Caroline whispered to Austin. He nodded while not taking his eyes off of the newcomer.
As they received the news, more disciples appeared and ran to the edge of the abyss, pushing the capacity of the area to almost full.
Running down the embankment, several more seeded disciples of the four major schools also constantly arrived.
Surprising everyone there, none of them were breathing heavily from running there. It was clear that they were superior to everyone else; it was as if they were untouchable.
"Wow! Look at all the seeded disciples! I don't know…I don't think even I could take them all down,"
Austin said with a frown as he released his spiritual sense to check the constantly emerging seeded disciples.
"For centuries, the seeded disciples have represented the most powerful of the young generation in the Divine Continent.
Of course you won't be able to defeat them yourself,"
Caroline replied, looking at Austin like he was insane.
Since all their friends and acquaintances knew about the relationship between them, she moved closer to Austin.
"Master, I'm sorry to say this, but it looks like we won't win the martial arts inheritance of the red demonic mice without a violent fight,"
Violet said worriedly. She held onto the sleeve of Austin's clothing so he would look in her direction.
"Boy, you need to understand. The red demonic mouse, in ancient times, was known as one of the ten ancient chaotic creatures. The secret skill handed down by the red demonic mouse is unimaginable. Winning it would improve your combat skills greatly.
So, you may want to get your head in the game,"
the gnome weighed in, causing Austin to turn and look at him.
As Austin tried to formulate a plan in his head, Larson was watching them from a distance. When he noticed how close Caroline was standing to Austin, his hands formed into fists and began to shake.
"Caroline and Violet, don't worry. The Red Tide Palace is where the red demonic mice live. My guess is that they will notice we're here and attack us soon.
So please, stay near me. I'll protect you both,"
Larson said, trying to keep his voice steady and gentle as he talked to the girls.
"As for you two, to be honest, I have protected you all the way on the journey to the Red Tide Palace. That is all that I can do for you.
You two don't have to thank me. I have nothing more to say. From now on, I want you two to stop following me and go away!"
Austin and the gnome were taken aback by Larson's outburst; however, it was nothing compared to how shocked the girls were.
"Larson, why did you ask them to leave?
They are friends to Caroline and Violet, and they don't look very strong. If you cast them away, they will find themselves in danger,"
Zoe said anxiously.
"Zoe, you're too much!"
Larson rolled his eyes.
