Chapter 5772
- “Fred Morgan?” Upon hearing the commotion, David Bishop could not help but turn around and looked at the distance curiously. David Bishop knew Fred Morgan was a prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. Before he entered the Formation Spirit Pagoda and climbed the Peak of Gravity again after being in closed-door cultivation for eight years, Fred Morgan was ranked first in both places. With this, one could imagine how strong Fred Morgan was. Most importantly, when he saw the name Fred Morgan, he was reminded of a teenager in his hometown in the mundane realm, the Saint Province Realm, whose name was also Fred Morgan. He had become best friends with Fred Morgan when they were participating in the Iron Blood Genius Camp that was organized by the Crimson Sky Kingdom. Before he left the Crimson Sky Kingdom, he had met Fred Morgan a few times and was surprised by the rate of Fred Morgan’s growth. Alas, after he ascended to the Devata Realm, he had lost all contact with Fred Morgan. Meanwhile, everyone, including Charlie Puth, the most outstanding young prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Clan, was looking at Fred Morgan. “That’s Fred Morgan? The young prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect who’s stronger than Tayne Stubbs?” “Tayne Stubbs is old news... Fred Morgan is now the most outstanding young prodigy in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect!” “Fred Morgan will lead the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect into a new era!” A hint of excitement could be seen in Charlie Puth’s eyes as she looked at Fred Morgan. Upon seeing Charlie Puth’s reaction, a slight frown appeared on Simon’s face. When he turned to look at Fred Morgan again, a hint of hostility could be seen in his eyes. “Fred Morgan.” The young prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, including Tayne Stubbs, regarded Fred Morgan with complex emotions brewing in their eyes. After all, Fred Morgan’s achievements had surpassed theirs despite being the latest to join the sect. While everyone’s eyes were trained on Fred Morgan, he was staring intently at a purple figure standing in the crowd. Similarly, David Bishop was staring intently at Fred Morgan. Swoosh! Swoosh! Fred Morgan stepped off his sword to descend to the ground while David Bishop rose to the air and flew toward Fred Morgan. Sia, who was left standing alone, looked slightly confused by David Bishop’s action. Everyone watched as David Bishop and Fred Morgan stood across from each other with less than 10 meters between them. “What’s... What’s going on?” “Are the two strongest prodigies in the Genius Secret Realm going to have a duel now?” “Are they going to put on a good show for us?” Upon seeing this, the young prodigies assumed David Bishop and Fred Morgan saw each other as rivals. Sia was the only one who saw the joy on David Bishop’s face when he flew to Fred Morgan earlier. She could tell he was genuinely happy to see the black-clad young man. Following that, the prodigies present on the scene were dumbfounded when they saw David Bishop and Fred Morgan hugging and patting each other on the back. Both men had a wide smile on their faces. Fred Morgan who was known for being aloof was smiling? Even the prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had never seen Fred Morgan smiling before! “They know each other?” With this, the onlookers could naturally tell the duo was acquainted. In fact, based on the duo’s actions, the duo was clearly more than mere acquaintances. Meanwhile, David Bishop and Fred Morgan could sense each other’s joy even though both of them did not speak. It had been a very long time since they had last met; it was almost 200 years ago since they last saw each other. When they first met, they were both in their teens, and the last time they met, both of them were only a few decades old; they were not even 100 years old at that time. It was their longest separation yet. After separating from the hug, Fred Morgan said emotionally, “David Bishop, when I first saw your name in the Peak of Gravity Ranking, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was you... However, after giving it some thought, I thought it was unlikely...” “At least, you had the courage to think it was me... After entering the Genius Secret Realm, I spent eight years in closed-door cultivation. When I saw your name in the Formation Spirit Pagoda Ranking and the Peak of Gravity Ranking, I didn’t dare to hope it was you,” David Bishop said with a smile as he shook his head. Although they had been separated for so long, their friendship remained strong and indestructible. “Most importantly, your performance is too brilliant! You never cease to amaze me since our time in the Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Iron Blood Genius Camp. Although I’ve grown stronger, I always thought you’d achieve greater things than me. And based on the current situation, it seems like I’m right,” Fred Morgan said sincerely. Although David Bishop was far stronger than him, he did not feel jealous at all. He was genuinely happy for David Bishop. David Bishop said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect you to have ascended to a Devata Realm and become a prodigy of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, a grade-one force in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Nuke Territory.” “It’s a long story... I’ll tell you all about it after we leave the Genius Secret Realm,” Fred Morgan said with a smile. “Alright.” At this moment, David Bishop discovered they had become the center of attention. He nodded to Fred Morgan, gesturing to Fred Morgan to follow him, before he returned to Sia’s side. “Sia, this is Fred Morgan. He’s my best friend.” David Bishop introduced Sia to Fred Morgan with a smile on his face. He was eager to share his joy with Sia after reuniting with Fred Morgan. “Miss Sia? You’re just as beautiful as the rumor says,” Fred Morgan said. After he took a look at Sia, he winked at David Bishop meaningfully.
