chapter 1971-1975


    Chapter 1971


    Such an obvious dare used in such a despicable way. jackieie could not help butugh coldly after he


    heard this. Such a challenge was useful to others, but just not against jackieie.


    The other newly recruited informal disciples were spirited after they heard this and looked at jackieie


    excitedly, wanting him to ept the challenge. To these people, jackieie was capable of fighting Wesley.


    Thinking jackieie would not agree to the wager with the way how silent jackieie was save for his sneer,


    Wesley frettingly added, “You’re the number one disciple among those who are newly recruited. If you’re


    terrified now, what do you think others will think about you in the future?”


    jackieie spoke in a low-voice, “I do not care about how others think about me. Don’t you wish to fight me


    in the wager battle arena? I’ll grant you your wish, but I’m not doing this because of what you’ve said. I


    just feel that you deserve to be taught a lesson.”


    A smile immediately appeared on Wesley’s face when jackieie agreed to it. However, thest sentence


    jackieie said was like pouring a bucket of dogs’ blood on his face, and the delighted expression


    immediately disappeared.


    Wesley stared at jackieie with gritted teeth, wanting nothing more than to rebuke him loudly. If the sect


    did not have rules that prevented them from fighting in private, he wanted to fold his sleeves and teach


    this gant man a lesson.

    This guy dared say that he needed to be taught a lesson. Nobody dared humiliate him in such a way


    throughout the years!


    “Listen carefully, you b*stard. I’ll make you pay dearly.”


    jackieie raised his eyebrows and looked at Wesley calmly. “You can keep those fifty pieces of lower


    grade spirited crystals as gifts for this faithful dog you have beside you. I’m not taking them. Let’s set the


    wager battle at the end of this month.”


    It was the beginning of the month, and jackieie kept enough time for himself by setting the wager battle


    at the end of the month. However, the time period that jackieie thought to be sufficient was just a blink of


    an eye in other people’s opinion.

    After all, the time period of a month was still quite short, and it would not increase jackieie’s fighting


    prowess much. What jackieie had said not only pped Wesley, but he also included the man with


    triangr eyes.


    The man with triangr eyes was so furious that he pointed at jackieie and trembled, almostmbasting


    him right then and there. However, Wesley stopped him.


    Wesley turned around and spoke with narrowed eyes, “Alright! We’ll go ording to the timing you set.


    You’ll have to remember it well, though. Don’t be so terrified that you don’t show up by then.”


    jackieie returned to his room without looking back after he finished speaking. He closed the room door


    with a m without replying to Wesley.


    In Wesley’s opinion, such actions were no different from pping him on the face. He was so angry that


    his entire body trembled. The man with triangr eyes started yelling, “Does this guy even know how to


    follow the rules?! What a b*stard; he doesn’t understand the immensity of heaven and earth. Senior


    brother, you can’t let this guy off the hook easily when you guys meet in the wager battle arena!”


    The corners of Wesley’s mouth curled into a ruthless sneer. “Don’t you worry. I’ll teach this guy a lesson


    within the margins allowed by the rules. I’ll show him who he can offend, and those that he can’t afford


    to.”


    He waved his sleeves with a cold scoff before he left. The man with triangr eyes and the others also


    followed after Wesley like they were his henchmen.


    The newly recruited informal disciples who originally came outside for a chat were in no mood to


    continue staying outside. What Wesley and the others said caused them to be quite upset. Some of them


    were so angry that their entire body quaked, but there was nothing they could do.


    Chapter 1972


    As they did not have the strength to defeat Wesley, they could only look forward to jackieie avenging


    them. The news of jackieie and Wesley meeting in the wager battle arena traveled as if they had wings


    on them. All the informal disciples learned of the news within an hour.

    Hence, everybody waited for time to pass, anticipating the lively battle. jackieie once again asked Nash


    toe out after he entered his own room and gave him a brief exnation about what had happened.


    “I know that you’ve always been confident about your own strength, but it won’t be easy to go against


    Wesley,” fretted Nash. “Although Elder Lee praised that you should be one of the top three hundred


    informal disciples, Wesley is one of the top two hundred. Are you that confident in this duel with him?”


    jackieie shook his head, “I’m not a hundred percent confident right now.”


    Nash naturally got nervous when he heard this, and he instinctively sat up straight. “Then why did you


    agree to it?”


    jackieie pulled the teapot on the table over to pour two cups of tea for himself and his father. “I mean that


    I’m not a hundred percent confident now, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be confident one monthter.


    On top of that, I’ll have to face more trouble in the future if I don’t agree to it today. Just like what Wesley


    said, there are only thirty individual rooms like the one I’m staying in among the informal disciples. It’s


    possible that these people think that I’m not worthy of the room. If I don’t prove myself with my strength,


    there will be endless trouble in the future. It’s best to just solve the issue once and for all.”


    Nash naturally knew about the helplessness jackieie was feeling. This world had always followed the


    survival-of-the-fittest concept, and only those with sufficient power could take more resources. jackieie


    understood this concept, and that was why he forcefully epted this challenge from Wesley.


    jackieie drank a mouthful of tea and continued,” Nheless, I’ll investigate him before the fight. I need


    to at least understand why he’s the one who came instead of the others. Does he have any people


    supporting him, or was he ordered to do so by somebody else?”


    Nash nodded and focused his eyes on jackieie. “Then, how do you n to train during theing


    month?”


    jackieie drank his tea and exhaled before he said, “How can I train? I definitely have to enter the Soul


    Hall. I still have fifty sect contribution points with me, although I have no idea how long I can train in the


    Soul Hall with fifty contribution points. However, I’m sure it’s enough for me to give it a try. I need to at


    least know how the Soul Hall helps raise the speed of training for soul attribute martial skills.”


    The Soul Hall was located at the west side of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and was not very far away


    from where jackieie stayed. After all, he was new here and only knew the general direction of the Soul


    Hall but had never visited the ce. Hence, he simply pulled a runner disciple to lead the way for him.


    This runner disciple was Brook Davis. A runner disciple was someone whose strength was not at the


    level of an informal disciple but still wanted to join the sect to train.


    These people normallycked the support from their families, and their lives were not enjoyable even if


    they did not join the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. It was better if they joined the sect as a runner disciple.


    Although they had a slightly exhausting life, they were given the resources to support their training.


    Brook naturally knew about jackieie. Although jackieie was not well-known among the higher level


    disciples as they might not know who he was, he was quite famous among the informal and runner


    disciples.


    After all, he was about to challenge a person who was in the top 200 among the informal disciples by the


    end of the month. Brook dared not look down at jackieie as there were some differences between their


    positions.


    After a simple inquiry, jackieie learned that Brook had been in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for four years,


    and he knew a lot about the things that happened in the sect.


    jackieie took this opportunity to ask about Wesley. Brook had a ttering smile on his face. “Not only is


    Senior brother Wesley stronger than usual informal disciples, but he has a strong background. Senior


    brother Wesley will break through into the initial stage of acquired level soon and be a formal


    disciple. He’ll then be Elder Sayer’s elder disciple.”


    Chapter 1973 jackieie looked at Brook in surprise when he heard this. He could sense that Brook meant


    something else from the way he spoke, and with a small frown, jackieie asked, “He’ll be an elder


    disciple after just bing a formal disciple?”


    The steps in bing a formal disciple had been noted in the jade identification card, but nothing was


    written in the jade strips about how to be an elder disciple or chosen disciple. jackieie knew that the


    elder disciples were one level higher to usual formal disciples, but they were not much higher.


    The most important disciples in the entire sect were the chosen disciples as they were the cream of the


    crop. Only those who were promoted to the chosen disciples level could train the martial art technique


    and martial skills of the highest level.


    However, jackieie had no idea how to be a chosen disciple.


    Brook smiled politely; he must have realized that jackieie did not know much about this stuff. Hence, he


    exined patiently, “Actually, the so-called elder disciples are when those informal and formal elders


    choose a disciple among the formal disciples as his chosen disciple, Senior brother Wesley is from the


    Sayer family, which is very famous in the Dual Sovereign City. The strongest master in the Sayer family


    happens to be the informal elder of our sect.


    “Elders from usual sects will get members from their family to be their chosen disciples. In fact, the elder


    disciples might not be any stronger than other formal disciples. The only distinction is just their identity.”


    jackieie finally understood what the elder disciples meant after he heard what Brook said. The action of


    Elder Sayer taking in Wesley as his chosen disciple was, in fact, just taking the younger generation of his


    family under his wing. After all, this was the only way Wesley would get better grooming.


    This would strengthen their family’s power, and it made sense why Wesley did not care if jackieie would


    have a high achievement in the future. After all, he had Elder Sayer as support. He felt that even if


    jackieie was able to go one step higher and take up an important position in the sect, jackieie would not


    make things difficult for him because of Elder Sayer.


    jackieie sneered at the thought of this. If this was what he had in mind, jackieie could only say that he


    was too self-righteous.


    jackieie was not the kind of person who would muddle around. Those who dared go against him had to


    be prepared that he would retaliate against them. He walked with Brook as they conversed.


    jackieie asked onest question as they approached the Soul Hall. “Do you know how to be a


    chosen disciple?”


    This was the million-dor question jackieie, one that jackieie was focused on all this while. The sect


    would only focus on grooming a person after a person became a chosen disciple. Others would not dare


    trouble him because of his identity too.


    Although jackieie was not afraid about others causing him trouble, he wanted to focus more time on


    training


    Brook replied, “There aren’t many obstacles to ovee if you want to be a chosen disciple.


    There’s no need to go through differentyers of screening, but there’s only one word that you need to


    obey.”


    jackieie raised his eyebrows in surprise after he heard this. “Which word?”


    “Fight! There are a total of ten chosen disciples, and they’re the strongest disciples among all disciples. If


    you think that you have the strength to challenge the chosen disciples, you only need to challenge one of


    them. If you manage to defeat them, you be a chosen disciple.”


    This did not scare jackieie. Instead, a burning spark was ignited in his heart.


    Chapter 1974 After absorbing the soul fragments of the great master, jackieie experienced an even more


    vast world. Although the Hestia Continent was much stronger in terms of training whenpared to the


    Daxia world, they were still iparable to the Divine Void World.


    It was just the position of a chosen disciple in a small sect located at West Cercei Ind of the Hestia


    Continent. jackieie did not pay much attention to it. Brook raised his head and nced at jackieie before


    he secretly shook his head helplessly.


    He was able to see how determined jackieie was in wanting to be a chosen disciple. Throughout the


    years, he had interacted with an uncountable number of disciples, and he saw the same expression on


    their faces.


    However, the determination to win would wear off within a year or two. It was really difficult to get to that


    position as the chosen disciples were the ten strongest people in the entire sect.


    Although the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was nothing in the Hestia Continent, it was one of the top sects In


    West Cercei Ind. The sect recruited many of the masters from the West Cercei Ind, and this was a


    concentration camp for prodigies.


    To step on the shoulders of these masters to be one of the top ten among them would require a


    high amount of talent and strong willpower. Too many disciples had failed as they tried to climb into the


    position of chosen disciples, epting their fate when they realized theck of talents.


    jackieie was definitely different from the others; he was several times more talented than Brook.


    However, Brook felt that he was still not qualified to be a chosen disciple. jackieie might be able to


    shine brightly among the formal disciples, but he would not be able to be one of the chosen


    disciples.


    Nheless, he had a great impression on jackieie. Some of the informal or formal disciples would look


    down on his identity as a runner disciple during their interaction. They would even yell at him and speak


    to him condescendingly.


    That never happened with jackieie, and he looked at Brook as his junior brother. He could not help but


    remind jackieie, “All our disciples can’t have a fighting prowess higher than the innate level. The stronger


    a person is doesn’t mean that he’ll get a higher position.”


    jackieie nodded. He also noticed this from the jade identification card. After all, when a sect groomed


    disciples, they would want to groom them during the time when they were worthy of grooming. The


    innate level was a level separation in West Cercei State.


    All the disciples could not have a fighting prowess higher than the innate level. Once they break through


    the innate level and achieve the spirit assemge level, they would leave the identity of disciple and take


    an important position in the sect.


    Zeph and the rest were also in such a situation. They used to be disciples from the Dual Sovereign


    Pavilion, and they started taking important positions in the sect after they broke through into the spirit


    assemge level. They broke away from their identity as disciples and became administrative members


    of the sect.


    This meant that even the chosen disciple with the highest fighting prowess would only be in the initial


    stage of acquired level, not breaking through into a higher level. jackieie slightly nodded. He was able to


    identify the hidden meaning behind Brook’s words. He was secretly reminding jackieie that he could


    decide on the strength and talents of those chosen disciples in the way he usually thought.


    “Thank you. I have onest question: Who’s in charge of the Soul Hall?”


    Brook replied with a smile, “The Soul Hall doesn’t have any person in charge. They only have disciples


    who epted missions. This is an opportunity to earn contribution points in a moreid-back manner.”


    jackieie immediately understood what was happening after he heard what Brook said. The masters who


    had broken through into the spirit assemge level definitely could not be in charge of gathering the


    contribution points in the Soul Hall. That would be like making a fuss over a trifling matter.


    Instead, the disciples who wanted to earn contribution points could help do the job. They could collect


    the contribution points and turn on the equipment in the Soul Hall.


    The door of the Soul Hall seemed to be painted with ck ink. jackieie could feel his soul trembling from


    afar.


    Chapter 1975


    When jackieie opened the door to enter the hall, he could not tell if his mind yed tricks on him, or if heN?velDrama.Org content.


    truly felt it: He felt a wave of wind blowing toward him and went straight into his soul through his body, It


    unnerved him.


    The hall had very simple decorations, and there were several small doors at the back of the hall, the


    height of a man. All sorts of charms and markings were drawn on these doors, and with just a nce at


    these things, jackieie felt his eye hurting so badly that he could not look at them.


    A table was ced in front of these doors, and a disciple was dozing off behind the table. jackieie knew


    that he was also an informal disciple from the way he was dressed, but jackieie did not recognize him.


    He also knew that such assignments would not be given to newly recruited informal disciples. This must


    be an informal disciple who was his senior. That person supported his face with his hand and was so


    drowsy that his eyelids drooped.


    Compared to other training grounds, not many people frequented the Soul Hall. After all, not many


    people practiced martial art techniques or martial skills of the soul attribute.


    Noel Karl barely raised his head as he might have heard the footsteps or felt that somebody had entered


    the hall. He had a cold expression on his face,zy as he was, though that did not upset jackieie.


    He raised his head and spoke in a clear voice,” Greetings, Senior brother Noel.”


    Before entering this ce, he had asked Brook who it was on duty at the Soul Hall. Noel had the same


    identity as jackieie, but he had joined the sect for two years.


    Two years was enough time for many informal disciples to be formal disciples, but Noel’s talents


    were limited. Noel seemed to be extremely tired. He raised his eyebrows, frowning as he sized up


    jackieie.


    “You must be the newly recruited informal disciple, are you?”


    jackieie nodded. There was no need to hide this fact, and he could not hide it even if he wanted to. Noel


    scoffed, seemingly derisive.


    “What a rare sight for neers like you to visit the Soul Hall. The Soul Hall seldom receives visitors.


    Who would’ve expected for a newly recruited informal disciple toe here when I’m on duty today.”


    Noel emphasised thest sentence, and jackieie understood what he meant. In the minds of these


    disciples who joined the sect via the usual assessment, those who came in due to ‘special conditions’


    were a joke. Putting all of them on the same pedestal was insulting to these informal disciples.


    Noel’s words might sound bad, but they were not as sharp as those spoken by Wesley.


    jackieie raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Does our identity matter when ites to practicing


    martial art techniques and martial skills of the soul attribute? Are newly recruited informal disciples not


    allowed to enter the Soul Hall?”


    These questions might have been asked with a calm tone, but there was also a hint of jackieie’s temper


    in the way he uttered them. Noel realized that this disciple was not a simpleton, and he did not have such


    an important background as Wesley did.


    He was just a verymon informal disciple. He did not have outstanding talents nor a bright future.


    Noel had not even broken through into the final stage of innate level at this moment.


    Even if he managed to break through into the final stage of the innate level, he would have to ept the


    challenges from the disciples who have not broken through into the final stage of the innate level the


    moment he became a formal disciple. By then, he would only be forced to give up his position and return


    to the embarrassing identity of an informal disciple.
