The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 161

Valentina felt as if he was in a long dream.

He dreamt that his 12 meridians were like 12 luminous dragons, shattering one after another in front of him.

However, after the majestic dragons exploded, new golden dragons began to breed and grow.

He even dreamt about his mother, a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament, smiling as she comforted him not to shrink back when he met any difficulties.

He never forgot the phrase, ‘Thoughts became things.

If you saw it in your mind, you would hold it in your hand.’

On the sixth day, Valentina woke up from his dream.

The first person he saw was Ian, who stood in front of his bed.

“Master Ian,” Valentina struggled to sit up, “Am I the winner?”

Ian was pleasantly surprised when Valentina woke up, but he felt awkward the next second.

“Casper, about this… I’ll tell you later,” Ian answered after hesitating.

Seeing Ian’s expression, Valentina suddenly felt his heart sink slightly as he already had a faint guess.

After pondering for a moment, Valentina asked calmly, “Master Ian, was there an accident?”

Since he experienced having his life on a thread, and he was even held captive in the dark abyss of a hellhole prison for a year, Valentina’s nature was much steadier than ordinary men.

Hence, the issues he considered were more in-depth and comprehensive.

At that time, Valentina considered the state of his body and Ian’s reaction, and he realized the possibility he had to face.

Ian gritted his teeth.

“About this…” Ian could not bear to ruin this teenager’s dream, especially when he described such an attractive offer to him before.

“Let me tell him.” Suddenly, someone pushed open the door, and a young man in white clothes walked in.

The man appeared to be in his mid-twenties.

Plus, he was tall and handsome.

However, there was an uncomfortable hint of arrogance between his brows.

When he came in, Ian’s expression turned serious.

Although Ian seemed older than the young man, Ian bowed respectfully, “Robert, you’re here!”

Robert Bleu hummed in reply, and his gaze swiftly fell on Leonardo.

In an instant, Valentina felt a scrutinizing gaze sweeping back and forth on him.

Such a feeling of being condescendingly looked at made Valentina feel utterly uncomfortable.

After looking at Valentina for a while, Robert snorted.

“Casper, your energy channels are all broken, and you can’t cultivate any longer.

Hence, our Dark Moon Sect won’t consider accepting you as our disciple.”

Even though Valentina expected such a result, he still felt a pang of sadness.

Moreover, he was the only one who was aware of the true condition of his body.

Valentina’s meridians were not completely shattered.

Instead, his energy channels were reborn, and they were more compact and tenacious than the previous ones.

As long as Valentina was given some time, the 12 new meridians would once again appear.

Valentina wanted to tell them the truth.

“My meridians are not…”

Without giving Valentina any chance to finish his sentence, Robert directly interrupted him, and he appeared annoyed.

“Casper, it’s useless to beg.

With your current body, you’ll forever be in the True Martial Realm.

Even if we accept you into our sect, you won’t progress… You’ll only attract unnecessary trouble.

Thus, the sect’s decision to reject you is also good for you.”

When he said this, Robert suddenly paused, and he continued, “I know you might feel indignant.

If you’re outraged, you can try out the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.

If you have an outstanding performance and want to join the Dark Moon Sect, there’s still a chance.”

After saying that, Robert sneered and turned around.

Before he left, he even reminded the awkward Ian, “Ian, if there’s nothing else, you can go back.

You’ll be required to be there in person again for the matters of our sect’s recruitment.”

Then, Robert directly walked out, not sparing Valentina another glance.

Judging from his attitude, it was as if talking to Valentina for another second would be a waste of his precious time.

Ian appeared to be at a loss and embarrassed.

As a cultivator, that was his first time feeling guilty for another mortal being.

“That… Casper, you heard that there’s another chance to enter the Dark Moon Sect during the Sects‘ Recruitment Ceremony next month.

At that time, all the sects in Earlington of Efrax will be present, and if you have an outstanding performance…”

Ian could not bring himself to finish his sentence, and he quickly bade goodbye, wanting to leave immediately.

Then, Ian heard Valentina’s voice from behind him.

“Master Ian, I have a final question.”

When Ian turned around, he noticed that Valentina did not appear to be frustrated or angry.

Instead, Valentina was as calm as a millpond.

“Go… Go ahead.” Ian suddenly felt nervous.

Valentina asked calmly, “Who’s the disciple that the Dark Moon Sect accepted from Evergreen Town this time?”

Since the purpose of the Evergreen Town’s competition was to find a winner to enter the Dark Moon Sect, there should be someone chosen if it were not Leonardo.

“It’s…” After hesitating, Ian still decided to tell the truth, “It’s Bowen Pullman, from the Pullman family.”

“It’s indeed him!” Valentina nodded, “Thank you, Master Ian.”

During the entire competition, Valentina only met Bowen once.

However, Bowen chose to give up, and Valentina did not know where he hid.

Nonetheless, it seemed that Bowen was indeed the smartest one.

If Bowen acted like the rest of them and charged at Valentina when they were near the finish line, he would have a miserable win even if he was the first to cross the line.

Moreover, Bowen would probably be heavily injured too.

Without wasting the slightest bit of energy, Bowen won the spot, and it could be said that he was extremely lucky. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Valentina heard that Bowen was the winner, he did not feel angry or thought Bowen stole his placement

After all, the Dark Moon Sect had the final say on who was qualified to enter their sect.

Even if they wanted to recruit a dog, a sparrow, or even an egg… It was not up to Valentina to decide.

Furthermore, Valentina thought Bowen was an interesting person, so there was no reason to resent him.

After Ian left, Valentina sat on the bed, lost in his thoughts.

‘If that’s the case, Bowen mentioned that he wanted to choose the other way would be the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.

However, I’ve never heard of this matter before, nor did someone ever tell me about it.

It seems that I’ll have to seek Bokir’s help again.’

At the thought of Bokir, Valentina recalled how she used to hope he would join the Heavenly Stars Sect.

‘Everyone thinks my meridians are completely shattered, and I won’t be able to enter the Pulse Control Realm again in this life.

Perhaps Bokir thought the same too,’ Valentina blinked, ‘I wonder if she’ll say that again if we meet now.

After all, everyone regards me as a useless person.’

Initially, Valentina wanted to rest for another day before visiting the Oceans Chamber of Commerce and meeting Bokir.

Then, unexpectedly, Bokir took the initiative to knock on his door in the afternoon.

On the day of the competition, Bokir did not reveal her identity.

Still, as William stepped forth, everyone knew the beautiful lady had a background more impressive than her beauty.

Hence, when she personally visited the Lawrence family, James even came forward to greet her, and the scene was really ceremonious.
