Chapter 57
Seeing how Frank narrowed her eyes and looked like an angered tiger, Lucy hurriedly explained, "Everyone said Master Anne's just playing dumb, and there's more to him than what we see!” “Playing dumb?” Frank blinked and nodded, “Based on the current situation, that's pretty accurate. However, it's not enough.”
“What's not enough?” Lucy quickly asked.
Despite knowing that the brat was asking that on purpose, Frank still explained, “There's a saying in Aias that goes, an immature genius is not a genius.”
"Hmm.
I've heard of that before.” Lucy nodded her head, and she appeared to be interested in Frank's commentary on Jordan.
“As for the inscription skills...” Frank pondered for a moment and shook her head, “That'll surely be impressive for those in lower ranks.
However, it's just a minor art.”
“Minor art?” Lucy widened her eyes in surprise.
She never heard Frank say such a thing before.
As the little girl suffered a heavy blow, she stuttered, “But... But... Lady Frank, it's difficult for Chief James to meet Master William from the Oceans Chamber of Commerce...”
Frank sighed.
“That's because we're in Evergreen Town.
Lucy, the world’s bigger than we imagined.
You might not understand it now, but once we head to the Dark Moon Sect, you'll gradually realize the things you think are impressive now are just the tip of the iceberg.
Once one reaches a high realm, the support of an inscription is negligible.”
"Oh..." Lucy nodded faintly, then shook her head.
Next, she inched closer to Frank and whispered, "No matter what, I want to be by your side.
Lady Frank, about Master Anne... Wait, about Anne... Is his inscription skill useless?”
“Lucy, you only listen to what you want to hear,” Frank chuckled as she picked Lucy's chubby cheek, “I'm just saying the inscription skills function is limited once he reaches a higher realm.
However, Anne's worthy of the attention with this identity in Evergreen Town, and even Earlington of Efrax.”
“A higher realm...” Lucy blinked, “Just like Chief James and Old Master Lawrence?”
Frank smiled and shook her head.
At this moment, she appeared lost, as if she thought of something.
Then, she murmured, “It's beyond that.
Pulse Control Realm is only the first step a cultivator has to take.
Besides, the world's massive.
Since the beginning of time, some have been physically sanctified or through magical power. However, there was no possibility of an inscription to be sanctified.”
The room suddenly quietened as they both were deep in thoughts.
After some time, Lucy whispered, “Lady Frank, aren't you curious about Anne? Not even the slightest bit?”
Frank shut her eyes and gave a thought.
Soon, she answered, “If we have the chance, we'll just look at him from afar.
I hope he won't disappoint me.”
wanted to say something, but she chose to lay on Frank's shoulder instead and said nothing.
Later, Lucy seemed to have fallen asleep in that position.
At the same time in the Time Warp Zone, the topless Yolanda was holding his Silver Scales Spear as he trained.
Just like a dragon emerging from its cave, the spear appeared as light and shadow as Yolanda swung it.
With every hit, the surrounding air was stirred, and exploding sounds could be heard.
Yolanda mastered the first two Bloodthirsty Spear Method's skills, the Bloody Skyfall and the Bloody Chains.
As he swept his spear across the air, groundbreaking energy filled the room.
After practicing for a while, Yolanda took a break to calm himself down.
Then, he drew a few more weight inscriptions as he planned to sell them at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Besides that, Yolanda also studied the Lotus Leaves Chop that he had taken from the Yates family's servant.
The Bloodthirsty Spear Method he received from the Lawrence family, as well as the martial skill that James let him choose, were both middle-grade Mortal Rank martial skills.
However, this Lotus Leaves Chop was high-grade Mortal Rank swordsmanship.
Nonetheless, Yolanda knew that even if he learned and mastered that skill, he would not be able to simply show it in front of anyone.
If the Yates family knew about it, they would suspect Yolanda was related to Harold and his servants’ death.
Until he finally left Evergreen Town, Yolanda would not have such worry anymore.
After a whole night of strenuous training, Yolanda got out of the Time Warp Zone the following day. He noticed that the Lawrence family’s servant prepared his breakfast earlier this time and was waiting for him outside the yard.
Although this was the same servant who sent him meals every day, the guy was trying to flatter him today, which he had never done before.
Back then, he sent Yolanda meals as that was his task given by the Lawrence family.
However, he not only took the initiative and was willing to serve Anderson, but he also implied that he was willing to be ordered around by Jordan.
Nevertheless, Yolanda did not trust the servant.
After all, he might be someone sent by the Lawrence family to test him.
Hence, he pretended not to understand what the servant said.
After his breakfast, he requested someone to take a horse over and headed toward Lawrence Fort. Since James agreed to let Yolanda pick another martial skill, Yolanda would naturally grab the opportunity.
Although Fabian was not with him today, no one deliberately made things difficult for him when he reached Lawrence Fort.
It appeared as if the news about what happened yesterday spread here too.
After all, he was not only the genius who reached the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm, but he also mastered the inscription skill.
This was enough for others to try and flatter him.
Even the Lawrence family member guarding the martial art chamber stood up when he saw Yolanda from a distance.
The man's face was all smiles, and his eyes were full of love as if he was seeing his son.
Moreover, he did not even mention the time limit for Yolanda to pick a martial skill in the martial art chamber.
It was as if he was implying that as long as he was there, Yolanda could choose until the end of time. Unfortunately, Yolanda was bound to disappoint this elder as he had already decided on which skill he wanted to choose before coming here.
“The Ursa Major's Blurred Shadows?” When he saw Yolanda's choice, the elder was stunned.
"Yes.
That's right.” Yolanda nodded.
"Please register that for me.”
“There's no problem with registering it, but...” The elder pondered for a moment and continued, "Are you sure you don't want to consider another? Although one can't simply exchange the martial skills once chosen, your situation is slightly special.
Moreover, this skill isn't our own Lawrence family's, but a certain family member brought over from his travels, and it's not complete.”
The elder’s intention was straightforward.
Yolanda still smiled and shook his head.
“Thank you for looking out for me, but I won't be changing my choice.
I'd stick with the Ursa Major's Blurred Shadows.”
