Chapter 2006
The ming birds flew all around the area and left a trail of me whenever they went. Each of the birds
was made up of mes, and even the feathers were swirling with the pattern of fire.
“This has to be the most powerful skill Dale has ever used. If I remember correctly, Divine Sky Crows is
also an intermediate red level skill. However, it’s hard to tell at first blush which cultivation level he is at.
He could be at the same level as Wesley though.”
The color of fire-engine-red filled the whole battle tform which reflected in all of the spectators’ eyes.
Dale had pulled out his big guns—the fire attribute skill he was best at. He knew that it would be a
disadvantage for him to continue as he realized that he was no match for Wesley.
With a shout, he flung both of his fire-engine-red daggers up to the sky. He could control the daggers
with his thoughts. Instantly, the daggers blended with the ming birds, and everyone there knew this
would be his most powerful attack.
“You’re going down, you loser!” shouted Dale angrily. Immediately, all the ming birds shot down crazily
at Wesley, staining his surroundings red. In contrast, his pale, calm face seemed to be glowing as the
sword in his hand was humming with a low sound
He pointed his sword at Dale and calmly performed a hand seal just when the ming birds were about
to crash into him. Immediately, countless silver lights appeared mid-air. Although the silver lights seemed
to be unnoticeable under the red glow of the ming birds, they started to be brighter and brighter
when the ming bird appeared closer and closer.

With a wave of his left hand, the silver lights gathered and spun madly around his sword which he was
holding in his right hand. In a blink of an eye, the silver lights condensed into two small stars; so small
were the two stars that they were at least a billion times smaller than the real ones up above the sky.
Even so, the spectators could sense tyrannical energy from the pair of spinning stars. Wesley’s speed
and power suddenly increased drastically and with no warning at all, he jumped up to the sky and
brought his sword down on the ming birds. All that could be heard was the air being ripped apart and
the ming birds started dropping one by one under his attack. They never stood a chance against
Wesley’s sword at all.
Wesley continued shing his way through the ming birds and under the buff of his two mini stars, the
speed of his attack increased even more. Some of the weaker informal disciples could not even keep up
his sword and would only know where he had been when the ming birds fell from the sky.

On the other side, Dale was sweating profusely. He performed a hand seal again to make the mes
burn stronger and to summon more ming birds. However, this did not deter Wesley at all. He smirked
and in an instant, the swarm of ming birds was wiped out once again.

Chapter 2007
The ming birds were the condensation of Dale’s energy and transformed back to its original red-light
state, diffusing into the surroundings when they were struck by Wesley’s sword. Wesley’s speed of
casting out the attacks was lightning fast and even though Dale kept on replenishing the ming birds
with his true energy, there was still a big hole in the swarm.
Wesley shot through the hole when it was big enough for him to go through and instantly appeared in
front of Dale. The corners of Dale’s lips went rigid, he did not expect that Wesley would be able to break
through the swarm.
The ming birds were no match for Wesley at all. Wesley scoffed and the three-foot sword in his hand
cast out a dazzling silver light. The two mini stars orbiting around his sword, cracked and their light
infused into the sword, making it as bright as the gxy.
At this sight, the back of Dale’s neck went cold. He madly performed another round of hand seals to
summon the scattered ming birds to create a barrier in front of him.
That did not even make Wesley bat his eyelid. He raised his sword again and said, “Behold my Seven
Stars Meteor Cloud!”
The dazzling gxy light became one with the sword and cut down on the ming bird’s barrier just
when everyone was widening their eyes. They heard a crisp cracking sound and the ming bird barrier
split in half.
Even though the ming bird barrier absorbed most of the attack, the remaining forcended on Dale.
He suddenly felt a tearing pain in his shoulders and chest as the blood dyed his clothes red. He
screamed painfully and was sent flying beforending on the ground with a heavy thud. All the
spectators had their jaws already dropped to the ground by then.
Wesley raised his cold brow and cast out another sword attack. The attack was not aimed at Dale’s vital
organs but was still imbued with a powerful force. Everyone heard a shing sound and another deep
sword wound appeared on Dale’s chest.
The first sword sh was from Dale’s left shoulder, cutting diagonally across his right torso and the
second was from his right shoulder, cutting diagonally across his left torso and thebined effect was a
bloody X. His shirt waspletely stained red and he looked extremely pitiful. However, it was not the
pain that he could not handle but the humiliation brought by Wesley.

After that second sh, Wesley stored his sword back in the storage space and alighted gently near
Dale, who was lying on the ground. He looked down at Dale with a mocking and condescending
expression, making Dale flush even redder in the face. Dale tried to stand up, wanting to fight to the
death with Wesley.
However, before he could do that, they all heard the results being announced. “The winner is Wesley
Sayer. The two contestants will swap their ranking and the wager of one hundred and fifty contribution
points goes to Wesley Sayer.”
Once the announcement sounded, no matter how frustrated Dale was, there was nothing he could do.
The rules must be obeyed.
Chapter 2008 A runner disciple swiftly entered the battle tform to carry Dale after Deacon Ambrose
deactivated the protective formation. Dale’s face was pale with pain and he was staring daggers at
Wesley, who on the contrary, was expressionless. He immediately left the battle tform without even
once looking back at Dale, after Deacon Ambrose had announced the result.
A pandemonium akin to five hundred ducks quacking at the same time rose up after the battle ended.
“Brother Dale is no match for Brother Wesley. That was evident from the start so it’s no surprise Brother
Wesley came out as the winner.”
“Actually, I think Brother Wesley should be ranked higher than his previous ranking. The only reason
Brother Dale was able to rank 143rd was that he has been in the Academy longer. Talent-wise, it’s
definitely Brother Wesley who’s stronger. I have no doubt that if given more time, Brother Wesley will
surpass more disciples!”
Although Dale ranked higher than Wesley, many people still felt that his talent wascking.
“Do you think Wesley unleashed all his power then?” asked someone and more opinions ensued.
“I don’t think so. He looked at ease when he retracted his sword. I can guarantee you that he has more
energy left. Dale being stronger than us doesn’t mean that Wesley will need all his power to defeat him.”
“Yeah, I’m so jealous of Wesley’s talent. Amongst us, he’s the second most talented disciple after Brother
Duncan. There’s a slight probability he will be a chosen disciple.”
“What do you mean by a slight probability? I think his probability is higher than that! He might even
be a future elder with the help of Elder Sayer. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him.”
Thesements brought up a feeling of envy in many of the disciples’ hearts. However, the feeling of
jealousy was mixed with admiration, therefore, they would not do anything to Wesley behind his back.
How could they when he was way more talented than them?
Noel sighed and nced sideways at jackie. He was expecting jackie to be in a bad mood after seeing
how Wesley had easily defeated the 143rd ranked Dale. He would definitely feel the immense pressure
as if being pressed under a hundred boulders if he was the one who needed to go against Wesley in the
next battle.
However, to his surprise, he realized jackie did not even bat an eyelid. His expression remained carefree
and impassive in the face of Wesley’s power. The corners of Noel’s lips twitched. He did not know
whether he should praise jackie’sposure or his acting skill.
Chapter 2009 Even he could not tell whether jackie’s confidence was because he had a good n or he
was faking it until he made it. Most of the people there thought jackie was doing thetter and hated him
for it.
Wesley had been staring at him ever since he got down from the battle tform. He was expecting jackie
to be scared shitless and became extremely furious when he was not. “He must be pretending not to be
scared! There’s no way he’s not scared. His acting is definitely better than his fighting.”
He did not bother to keep his voice low but instead, said it really loud and made the others who heard it
look at jackie with curiosity. jackie’s overly calm behavior gave them no doubt that he was definitely
pretending not to be scared. Not bothering what he would think of them, they started to give their two
cents’ worth.
“Ugh, I can’t stand him looking so calm! I can understand him staying so calm if he hadn’t seen what
Brother Wesley can do. I don’t even know why he bothers to put up a pretense when everyone knows
Brother Wesley’s power can be ranked in the top one hundred amongst us, informal disciples.”
“He must be doing it to protect his own ego. No matter how scared he’s feeling, he definitely would not
let outsiders see but this just makes him more of aughingstock.”
“Yeah, he’s a joke! There must be a loose screw in his brain.”
“I think he might be in a state of shock. I would be scared shitless right now if I was him.”
“You’re right. Forget about the grudges between the two of them, Wesley didn’t actually have to humiliate
Dale with thatst strike. Although thatst strike didn’t cause permanent damage to Dale thus Wesley
didn’t break any rules but there’s no doubt it caused permanent emotional scarring to him. I’m sure jackie
will suffer a far worse humiliation than that.”
“I think so too. Brother Wesley and Brother Dale didn’t really hold any deep hatred toward each other
and yet look at what Brother Wesley did to him. He must have been nning something even worse for
jackie.”
They did not bother to lower their voices so it was only natural that jackie would have heard what they
said. However, his expression remained impassive and he did not even look toward Wesley.
The corners of Noel’s lips twitched again. He lowered his voice and said to jackie, “Are you really not
afraid? Wesley had the intention to humiliate Dale from the very start. The ‘X’ mark on Dale’s chest is like
a p to his face. If he can do that to Dale, imagine what he will do to you.”
“So what?” asked jackie with an equally low voice and with a smile on his face.
Chapter 2010
Those two words rendered Noel speechless. He and Brook stared wide-eyed at jackie, not knowing what
to say. Judging from jackie’s reply, it seemed as if he was really not afraid but they could not be! They
were adamant he was pretending to be calm.
The corners of Brook’s lips started to twitch too. Wesley was already immeasurably powerful to a runner
disciple like him. There was no way he could win in a fight against him in a million years and he was
really worried for jackie.
Many of the spectators there started to imagine what would happen during the battle between Wesley
and jackie. Would jackie be sent flying with a single strike of the sword? Maybe Wesley will do his utmost
to humiliate him by carving a few X on jackie’s face. Not only would that humiliate jackie but it would also
assure the fact that he would never have a chance to do anything great in his life.
ording to their understanding of Wesley’s personality, they knew there was a high possibility for that
to happen. After all, Wesley had the backing of many influential figures and the most he would get for
humiliating other people was a slight p on the wrist. Therefore, why would he care about hurting other
people’s egos?
The man with triangr eyes patted himself on the back for having the foresight to suck up to Wesley.
Not only was Wesley more powerful than the average disciple but also had the backing of Elder Sayer.
No doubt that following Wesley would benefit him in the future.
Even though Wesley had won the battle, there was no sign of happiness on his face. On the contrary, his
eyes were filled with anger and the man with the triangr eyes instantly guessed what he was mad
about.
He shot up from his seat and turned to look angrily at jackie. Then, he scoffed and in a loud voice said,
“Oh wow, jackie. We should give you an Oscar for your acting skill but then did you really think all of us
were fooled by your pretense? Why don’t you just admit you’re actually scared shitless right now?”
The man with triangr eyes was Wesley’s number one fanboy and he would do anything for him.
Besides, humiliating a nobody like jackie would not bring him any consequences.
jackie knitted his brow. The reason his face was expressionless was because he really did not care
about Wesley’s power and knew that they would not believe him even if he told them the truth. However,
the man with the triangr eyes had crossed his line, and not to mention he had always seen him as a
thorn in his side.
He stared at him, scoffed, and in a chilly tone said, “I was right when I called you Wesley’s loyal dog. You
would do anything for your master with no thoughts of the consequences.”
His words shocked everyone there. Nobody expected him to say something like that. His words were
more hurtful than if he had pped the man with the triangr eyes. The man with the triangr eyes
nearly punched jackie in the face but stopped himself just in time as there was a rule saying no fighting
on the viewing tform.
Brook was pale in the face from fright and he quickly pulled on jackie’s sleeves. “Brother jackie, why did
you say that? He would for sure seek revenge on you now.”
jackieughed softly and in a calm voice said, “Do you really think he would stop taunting me if I didn’t
say anything? Besides, I was only telling the truth. The only reason he keeps causing me problems is
because he wants to please his master. Therefore, he should be prepared to reap the consequences.”
Although Brook wished jackie would shut his mouth, he had to admit what he said was right. Wesley and
his gang would not stop causing trouble for jackie even if heid down and rolled over. He understood all
this butcked the courage to do it.
