Night gradually arrived, enveloping the mountain forests. On the contrary however, the outer mountains only grew even more busy.
After the disciple classification announcement in the day, secretly undercurrents flowed violently between the numerous new disciples.
As the saying went, wherever there were people, there will be conflict. Even the Spirit Devouring Mountain was no exception.
Majority of the new disciples were fresh off the boat. Several of the more quick-witted ones began to call friends together to form factions. In any place, a faction would clearly have an advantage over an individual.
The existence of first class disciples became the core of several groups, rapidly increasing their status.
As such, the brightly lit little houses in the mountains became a hub of activity.
In one of the little houses, several dozen people were gathered, making the atmosphere pretty lively. Levoe was also included amongst them.
Two individuals were seated in the center like a moon surrounded by stars. Calm indifference filled their expressions as they enjoyed the respect from the surrounding crowd. These two were obviously first class disciples.
One was called Siyo Kath, while the other was named Park Korai.
Levoe wore a bright smile as he declared, "All of us will follow brother Siyo and brother Park in future."
The others nodded. Siyo Kath and Park Korai were sure to enter the seven peaks and had bright futures ahead of them. Now was clearly the best time to curry favor.
Siyo Kath chuckled and said, "All of us from the other continents, and cannot compare to the infamous Shiyan and Rhiyan geniuses. So we naturally need to take extra care of each other."
One of the individuals in the group angrily said, "Those from the Shiyan and Rhiyan Continent are really too arrogant. Just earlier, I tried to invite a second class disciple on brother Siyo's behalf, but that fellow didn't give any face at all."
Siyo Kath's expression darkened slightly when he heard this, but he still waved his hand and said, "We just have to do our best. Since the geniuses of those two continents are so prideful, there is no need for us to be friendly just to be snubbed."
Park Korai nodded in approval.
"There seems to be one other first class disciples from this Naran Continent, shall we go rope him in?" Suggested someone.
Levoe sneered. "You mean the one that went through the backdoor?"
Siyo Kath shook his head. "Don't bother with the Naran people. I heard earlier that Peliok will be making his move against Ezrq Zephyr.
Although Peliok is a second class disciple, he is one of the Shiyan Continent's geniuses that has several formidable friends. Now that he had decided to move, Ezra will be beaten back to where he belongs tomorrow."
Levoe's eyes brightened when he heard this. Soon after, he chuckled and remarked, "What an unlucky guy. He can only enjoy a single day of first class disciple status before falling to the bottom again."
The others also roared in laughter, before no longer mentioning this subject. They clearly already believed that Ezra Zephyr would be the loser.
Similar situations had happened several times in many places after all.
Therefore, practically everyone came to know in a single night that when tomorrow come, Ezra would become the shortest lived first class disciple in history.
<The next day>
When the first rays of the morning sun broke through the clouds and shined on the mountain forests, the outer mountains immediately became a hive of activity.
The prince of Bloodfang Kingdom pushed open the doors and walked out of the little house.
The moment they left, they saw a group of people hurriedly rush towards them. They were Xyr, Zulfi, Theor, Shifa, Argus and the rest.
The people of Naran met their leader as laughed and talked, Ezra felt something was troubling them.
"What is it?" He looked at the worried crowd.
Only then did Theor recall that there was a serious matter to report. Sweat dripped down his face as he anxiously said, "Not good your majesty, I heard that someone is going to take your first class disciple status today!"
"Haha, so it has come after all." Ezra's expression did not change when he heard this. He knew that such a situation would definitely occur. After all, who asked him to appear like the easiest target?
"Do you know who it is?"
Gill Subzi immediately answered, "He's called Peliok a second class disciple from the Shiyan Continent, 2nd level Core Formation stage."
Ezra's eyes narrowed slightly as he faintly nodded with a wicked grin.
A flash of red swept out from the mountain in the distance. It was Ravina Ingale. When she saw the situation here, her bright eyes shot a quick glance at Ezra, seemingly a little gloating.
Evidently, even she already knew about this matter.
The prince ignored the various gazes that were on him, merely nodding to Gill Subzi as he began to walk forward.
"Let's go to Energy Mountain."
A tall, towering mountain rose amongst the many mountains in the outer mountain area, piercing straight through the clouds.
This mountain was the most conspicuous of all the mountains. Not only was it a grand and majestic sight, its tip shaped like a volcano, while countless faint Spiritual Runes could be seen on its body, seemingly forming incomparably enormous Spiritual Rune boundaries.
These Rune boundaries were carved into every inch of the mountain.
The surrounding spiritual energy was endlessly drawn over, flooding into the giant mountain. It was a very spectacular sight.
When Ezra and gang arrived, a startled look was revealed on their faces as they gazed upon the giant of a mountain.
"What a sum they must have invested." Argus Woska could not help but exclaim in admiration.
With his spiritual senses, he could feel that the Spiritual Runes in the giant mountain were all pretty high grade, while the rune boundaries were definitely not the work of any ordinary person.
Evidently, there were existences in the Spirit Devouring Mountain that with powerful Spirit cultivation.
"Such ingenious methods." Rarely seen amazement had appeared on Ezra's handsome face
