Chapter 62
The entire training camp occupied a vast tract of land, however, there weren’t many buildings that could be found in this place.
On the east side was a row of solidly built wooden cabins. They were all built with huge logs. Although they looked simple and primitive, they were extremely sturdy. While on the west side, a number of tents were found scattered around. Judging by the size of them, each could only house one to two people and were used for resting.
In the entire camp, the thing that drew one’s eyes the most was a large area occupied by a training ground. Countless apprentice Adepts were using this training ground and were seriously fighting each other. Yes, they were all apprentice Adepts. They weren’t some ordinary human fighters. Looking at those bowl-size fireballs that dashed through the air like shooting stars and the frightening figure of a man, covered in raging lightning, raising his axe high up, made Greem’s heart, once again, start to pound fast.
All this while, the impression Greem had toward apprentice Adepts was rather dark and crafty, with many of them having a twisted mind. Thus, this was the first time he saw something like this. Out in the broad daylight, these apprentice Adepts were fighting each other, face to face, with their raging magical spells.
At the edge of a large training ground, a group of men could be seen gathered together, watching the fight between two advanced apprentices.
One was like Greem, a long ranged spell caster who had mastered Fire Element magic spells.
The other took the path of a Body Refining Adept, a frightening god of war who possessed the powerful ability of thunder.
Both men were exchanging attacks in the field, locking themselves in a fierce battle.
On top of the black wood staff, he carried in his left hand, were chains of teeth and miniature skulls. Whenever a shivering breeze blow by, they would produce a rattling sound that sent chill down one’s back.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be approaching the end of his life, as he looked like a skeleton with one leg already in the grave. But, upon seeing this man, Greem’s pupils contracted, and his expression gradually turned dignified.
Although this guy only had the spiritual ripple of an advanced apprentice, the threat of death he brought to Greem was distinct and straightforward. If Greem’s guess was correct, this frightening guy must be someone with the elemental affinity of negative energy. The only thing he didn’t know now was whether this guy was one who played with dead bodies or a frightening one who played with curses.
Perhaps, in order to understand his real ability, Greem would have to experience it personally on the battlefield!
“Hehe! Don’t you think it’s unfair to let an advanced apprentice, fight with a mere beginner apprentice like me? Since you guys wish to see my real ability, you’ll have to pay a price. Before we start the match, I need to know what I’ll be earning when I win the match?” Greem folded his arms in front of his chest, portraying a look of confidence.
“Kid, you’re pretty cocky!” Dark Wood once again showed his insidious smile, saying, “Initially, Master Hulk only wanted to see how long you could hold out when facing my attack. So, do you still think you have the chance to win this match? Jajaja…”
“What if I really win this match? Do you dare to bet with me?” Greem took the opportunity and counter-checked the guy.
“Why not? For the sake of your courage, I can give you odds of ten to one. No matter how many magic crystals you bet, as long as you can defeat me, I’ll pay ten times back!” The insidious smile of Dark Wood, along with his skeleton-like head, made him looked really frightening.
“Who else wants to bet with me? Come on, show me your courage!”
Greem yelled out loudly and tossed out all his belongings.
He offered all the contents wrapped in that black cloth and the last nine magic crystals he had.
He had instantly kindled the atmosphere of the scene!
