Aeron's Shock

Cloud-Mist Palace.

Dragon Cloud Hall.

In front of the Dragon Cloud Hall, there are endless green bamboo and a clear pool.

Above the clear pool is a bamboo used for fetching water.

When one end of the bamboo is dipped into the water, and the other end is placed in the air, if water flows down the bamboo, it will gently change its position, emitting a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Ding" - the sound of the water-fetching bamboo is delightful and charming.

Many eyes turned to Squaring, whose expression remained unchanged. "The cloud spirit creature, Cloud Cat, fell into Harry's hands," he said.

"What?" Camilla and Aeron's faces changed involuntarily.

It can be said that neither of them expected such a turn of events.

At this moment, everyone else's expressions also subtly changed, except for Caldwell, who showed no expression. The Lord of North Peak, Caldwell, had a profound mind.

Even in the face of such incredible events, there was still no expression on his face. He just looked meaningfully at Abbas. As for Abbas himself, he was also surprised.

He suddenly realized that he didn't quite understand the progress of his own disciple's cultivation.

Actually, it was normal for things to turn out this way.

Harry practiced the Cloud Dragon Heart Method, which belonged to the cloud attribute.

Among many cultivation methods, the Cloud Dragon Heart Method was the most difficult to gauge.

Clouds were deep and hard to fathom, and the mist was elusive.

It was not easy to determine the level of the Cloud Dragon Heart Method without being extremely careful.

Other elemental cultivation methods were easier to assess.

Of course, this didn't mean that the cloud attribute cultivation method was superior to others.

Each cultivation method had its own advantages.

For example, the water attribute cultivation method excelled in invisibility; sometimes you couldn't even detect cultivators of the water attribute.

The thunder attribute cultivation method was known for its powerful attacks. Once they started, it was like thunder striking from the sky, unstoppable.

Aeron said, "What's going on? The eight true disciples competed for that cloud cat, and it ended up in Harry's hands?" His face turned slightly grim again. He recalled the last time his carefully planned scheme was ruined by Harry, a junior.

His relationship with Abbas had long been extremely bad, so naturally, he didn't feel much goodwill towards Harry, who had obtained the cloud spirit creature.

"Could it be that this lazy brat took advantage of everyone during the competition?" Aeron exclaimed.

Of course, the reason he showed such obvious dislike was because he practiced the fire attribute cultivation method.

His cultivation method was known for its attack power, and coupled with the Great Sun Sword Technique, his temperament was inevitably somewhat irritable.

Idle talk aside, the conversation turned to Harry.

Squaring shook his head. "No, after that battle, I asked around. In the Cloud-Mist Valley, the Cloud Cat took the initiative to fall into Harry's arms, and then Harry defeated the others single-handedly. Oh, Aeron, your grandson, Bob, was knocked down by Harry with a single move."

He wasn't mocking Aeron; it was just his style. He always spoke his mind.

As for Aeron, he knew Squaring's style, and frankly, he had no energy to deal with this now.

He was completely dumbfounded. What a joke! The grandson he had painstakingly nurtured was defeated by Harry with one sword.

How could this be possible?

Aeron was almost completely dumbfounded.

The others were equally astonished.

"What's next?" Caldwell broke the silence. He was the only one who hadn't shown any shock so far.

"Next," Squaring said in his usual flat tone, "Next, it is said that Harry single-handedly defeated five other true disciples after defeating Bob."

What a situation.

Each true disciple present had been cultivated with great effort. Although they were only around twenty years old and hadn't become too powerful yet, they had still been cultivated with considerable effort.

Now, they were all defeated by Harry, who was only seventeen. Many swordsmen present felt at a loss for words.

Harry, who had always been considered one of the weaker true disciples, had suddenly become so powerful. It was strange.

In the end, Caldwell broke the awkward silence, saying,

"Harry's performance is impressive. Among the Five Peaks of Sworthy Mountain in this generation, our North Peak has always had the weakest true disciples. The other four peaks—East Peak, West Peak, South Peak, and Central Peak—have disciples who excel either in swordsmanship or cultivation. But whether it's swordsmanship or cultivation, they surpass those of our North Peak. So far, only Babber and Baily from our North Peak have been noteworthy. Now, with Harry, we have gained another outstanding disciple. That's good."

Essentially, once Caldwell spoke, the tone was set. It seemed that this time, the mainstream view was established.

Indeed, Abbas had nothing to say. He picked up the teacup in front of him and said nothing.

"This generation of the Ten Great True Disciples probably has no one else who has obtained a cloud spirit creature. Abbas, after you go back, teach Harry how to use the cloud spirit creature," Caldwell said casually.

Obviously, he believed that ordinary true disciples would not understand the use of spirit-sealing cards and cloud spirit creatures. They didn't realize that due to Harry's previous encounter, he already had three cloud spirit creatures. Now, he probably had four.

Harry was now constantly infused with cloud energy.

"Alright, that's it for this meeting," Caldwell said. "Dismissed."

As they dispersed, Camilla, Abbas, Aeron, Squaring, Rounding, and Fling left the Dragon Cloud Hall one after another. How to describe the expressions on their faces as they walked out?

Their expressions were all somewhat subtle.
