Chapter 2016
In fact, Jackie could not contain himself for long with the triangr-eyed man pestering him, right next to
him. To everyone’s surprise, Jackie abruptly turned around and stared at the man with triangr eyes
coldly. Sneering, he said, “I’ve always been a vengeful person, and you’d do well to remember my
words.”
After he finished speaking, Jackie turned around and walked toward the battle arena in the middle. At
this moment, Wesley was already standing at the east side of the battle area, and Jackie stood opposite
him. The two of them looked at each other, one of them expressionless while the other looked
contemptuous. Wesley looked at Jackie as if he was an idiot or a dummy, but Jackie’s expression
remained passive for the most part.
It looked like no matter what expressions Wesley had on his face, it would not affect Jackie. The sound
of people discussing what was happening beneath the stage was noisy enough to hurt people’s ears.
After all, none of them expected things to develop until such a situation. A lot of busybodies started to
send transmission runes to their friends who were not there to watch the battle so that they would not
miss the great battle.
Both Brook and Noel stared at those two, staring at each other from a distance as they stood on the
battle stage, with frowns on their faces. They had no idea what to say at that moment. After some time,
Brook lowered his voice as he spoke to Noel, “Senior Brother Noel, do you think that Senior Brother
Jackie has given up?”
Brook was incredibly wary at this point, and he did not feel that there was something wrong with what he
said. Instead, he was hesitant as he felt that Wesley would surely defeat Jackie, and that particr
scene was unimaginable to him.
Noel frowned and sighed softly before he spoke with a hint of uncertainty, “I have no idea, but I don’t
think Jackie’s brain had malfunctioned or something.” In fact, he had no idea what he should say.
Although he knew that Jackie was very talented in terms of the soul attribute, he had no idea which level
was Jackie’s true strength at.

Jackie was only at the initial stage of innate level, but Wesley had already achieved the intermediate
stage of innate level. From the fighting prowess alone, Wesley was one level ahead of Jackie. On top of
that, Jackie had only joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for a dozen days and had yet to be trained and
groomed by the sect. How could he be Wesley’s opponent when he had his talents but not the
resources?
He might not be able to defeat Wesley even if he was In the same realm as Wesley, let alone challenging
Wesley at a lower level!
As they stood on the battle arena, Wesley could not help but sneered at Jackie’s seemingly
expressionless face,menting. “You’re a good actor, I’ll hand that to you. You still can be passive at a
time like this. You have no idea what’ll happen to you, do you?”
Jackie raised his eyebrows. “Can you just get on with It? What’s the point of making these useless
remarks?”

The informal disciples sitting at the audience seats were baffled upon hearing Jackie’s remark. His brain
must have been filled with water, and the damage must have been detrimental. Why else would he say
such a thing?
“Do you have any idea what you are talking about, young man?” jeered Wesley. “You’re challenging me
from a lower level, and you’ve only joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion recently. Do you truly think that
you can defeat me?!” Wesleyughed as he spoke.
Jackie nodded and actually replied level-headedly, “I wouldn’t be standing here if I wasn’t sure I can
defeat you.”
Right after that, a suffocating silence appeared first before somebody snickered, andughter filled the
entire area. Arge group of people broke out intoughter because of what Jackie said, looking at
Jackie as though he was the biggest clown for thinking he could defeat Wesley. Did he not understand
that he was only in the initial stage of innate level and did not have the support of powerful resources?
On what grounds did he think that he could defeat Wesley? Was it just because of the fact that he ranked
first ce during the admission assessment? That admission assessment was nothing to the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion disciples who joined the sect through the usual admission tests, and many of them
there could have done what Jackie did!
Wesley scoffed indignantly. “You truly are entertaining. The fact that I’m fighting with someone like you in
the battle arena is an insult to me!”
Chapter 2017
After his warning, Wesley did not bother saying anything else as he pulled his three-feet-long sword from
his storage ring, gripping it tightly by the hilt. He raised his right hand, and the sword was once again
illuminated with a silver-like light. Everybody looked on as the specks of starlight gathered that became a
small yet bright star within the sword’s silver-like light.
Fighting with Jackie did not require Wesley to use much strength. He formed two silver stars when he
fought Dale, but he would only need one to st Jackie awaypletely.
Jackie raised his eyebrows. When he was at the audience seats back then, he noticed Wesley using the
Seven Stars Meteor Cloud, but standing right across Wesley, he could clearly feel the overwhelming
strength of the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud. If he was a usual martial artist in the initial stage of the innate
level, he would have lost his imposing momentum under such a strong suppression. It was possible that
some with weaker fighting prowess would not be able to stand straight.

The Seven Stars Meteor Cloud was truly a Red-level intermediate martial skill. Jackie raised his eyebrow
as he slowly took out a ck dagger from the Mustard Seed. There was nothing special about this ck
dagger. It was only the length of his fingers and was not much different from Dale’s weapon apart from
the color.
Jackie had been thinking about what weapon he should use before he went up the battle arena. Even
after thinking it through, he still felt that the dagger was more suitable for him. Although daggers were
more suitable for assassins, Destroying the Void was a soul attribute martial skill, and it seemed suitable
for him to be an assassin.
It might have been because of how ordinary the dagger Jackie had looked without any formation or
runes carved into it, but the gossip and murmurs below the stage amplified.
“This young man can’t evene up with a decent weapon. This is looking really shabby.”
“He’s just a guy without any background, and he had just joined the sect recently. How could he own
weapons that could rival or be on par as ours?”
Wesley harrumphed indignantly as he stared at the ck dagger Jackie had at hand. With a move of his
sword, he went straight toward Jackie, nning to defeat him with a single move. He wanted to injure
Jackie to the point Jackie would not be able to counter him, all so Wesley could regain his honor. Jackie
had to pay dearly!
Wesley moved extremely speedily, like an arrow released from the bow. He came rushing toward Jackie
with the sound of wind whistling. His sword looked ominous as it contained his will to kill. A regr
person in the initial stage of the innate level would not be able to withstand the strength of his attack.
Frowning, Jackie performed the seal with his hands. Soon, a streak of ck light appeared from his
palm.
Until that moment, Jackie was unable to estimate Wesley’s true strength. However, Wesley realized at
that moment that Jackie did not pay much importance to him. Hence, he decided to not use all his
strength, and this sword attack only used a portion of his strength.
If that was the case, he had to remain calm.
After the ck soul sword appeared in Jackie’s palm, It immediately covered the entire ck dagger.
The dagger trembled before it seemingly hummed, looking as though the dagger could barely contain the
power inserted into it.
Jackie frowned as he once again performed the seal with his hands. This time, the ck dagger
immediately floated into mid-air.
Unfortunately, Wesley’s attack was right before Jackie in the blink of an eye.
Jackie pushed his hands forward calmly, and the ck dagger moved forward toward Wesley’s sword
attack.
Wesley scoffed haughtily and snapped, “You’re biting off more than you can chew!”
Many started to feel sorry for Jackie when they saw this scene. In the beginning, everybody was
anticipating the martial skills that Jackie was going to perform. When they realized that Jackie had only
infused his ck dagger with a streak of ck light, almost everybody shook their heads at the same
time.
Chapter 2018 Any powerful martial skill would be apanied by a ferocious power motion when it was
released, However, no one among the audience sitting could feel any power movement from the dark-
colored light when Jackie activated the martial skill.
The spectators’ reactions were simr to those who observed the fight between Jackie and Warren.
Everybody heard a clear nging sound of weapons knocking into each other. The ck dagger and the
silver sword in Wesley’s hands collided with one another.
The silver sword shone ringly, and a confident smirk appeared on Wesley’s face. To him, Jackie’s
ck dagger was like a piece of trash he could easily knock off into the air…but the smile on his face
soon fell after a few seconds as he felt a blunt forceing toward his right hand, the hand that held the
sword.
This particr force stunned Wesley for a moment before he took a step back.
The next moment, Wesley’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he discovered that his Seven
Stars Meteor Cloud was equally matched to the martial skill Jackie had performed.
Jackie took a step back, in sync with him!
The silver light from the stars and the dark-colored light disappeared after their intense collision midair.
However, the ck light contained dark energy that nobody understood. The energy traveled up his
sword and impacted his arm instantly!
Wesley’s facial expression darkened as he realized that a piercing pain came from his soul after
exchanging a single martial skill attack with Jackie. What was that?! Wesley was in disbelief. All this time,
he thought Jackie was no match for him, that he would be able to get rid of him with the power of a single
star.

It seemed, however, that they were of equal power, and Wesley even suffered an unexpected blow.
He activated his true energy to suppress the pain in his soul. His right hand trembled slightly as his entire
face turned chalky white. This was mainly due to his shock and fury.
Both of them took a step back after exchanging a single attack. Every informal disciple in the audience
seats inhaled in surprise when they saw this, and they even thought they were hallucinating.
“Oh my god! Have I lost my mind? How and why did that happen? Jackie is actually strong enough to
exchange blows with Wesley where both of them took a step back, and none of them managed to
suppress the other?! What was that martial skill he used? It’s capable ofpeting with the martial skill
of the Red proficient level!” The corners of that person’s mouth twitched uncontrobly after he spoke,
and the people around him could not hold their surprise, too.
“Don’t forget that Jackie is one realm lower than Wesley, and this means that he’s challenging Wesley
from a different level. Even so, the fight between them still ended with a tie!”
Even though they understood that Wesley did not use all his strength, it was enough to shock everyone
present. After all, Jackie was only in the initial stage of the innate level and had only joined the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion around ten days ago. He was already so much stronger than many informal disciples
present as he was capable of performing with such strength, despite the huge difference between him
and Wesley.
Brook’s eyes widened as he started to ramble, “No wonder Elder Lee said that Senior Brother Jackie has
the strength to be among the top three hundred informal disciples. I thought he was just saying that to
please Jackie, but from the looks of things, Elder Lee was telling the truth!”
Meanwhile, Noel exhaled deeply as amazement filled his gaze. He knew earlier on that Jackie’s talents
were much stronger than many disciples in the front positions of the sect.
From what had happened, it seemed like he had still underestimated Jackie’s strength.
Chapter 2019 Wesley’s followers gaped at the scene so much that they nearly dislocated their lower jaw,
especially the man with triangr eyes, who was stunned on the spot. His mouth was wide open as
sheer disbelief overwhelmed his face.
He had never expected Jackie to be so strong. The corners of his mouth slightly twitched as he growled,
“Impossible! This can’t be real! How could this guy have such strength?!”
The person that suffered the greatest shock among everyone present would be Wesley, who stood
opposite Jackie. Wesley gripped his sword tightly with his right hand. If they looked carefully, they would
be able to see the blue veins popping out on his right hand because he was overusing his strength.
Although Wesley tried his best to suppress the surprise and disbelief in his eyes, he failed to do so. He
exhaled deeply, looking like he had lost himself with his craze evident in his eyes.
“No wonder you could act so ferociously before all this. It turns out you do have some tricks up your
sleeves. Still, don’t you dare think that you can show off in front of me with that!” Although he was
surprised that Jackie truly had some strength, Wesley still did not think that Jackie could defeat him. After
all, he did not use all his strength but only a portion of it.
Jackie looked at Wesley emotionlessly, seemingly unperturbed even with Wesley’sments, which
Wesley hated.
He hated this overly confident, fearless expression Jackie had. He red fiercely at Jackie and gritted
his teeth. “I won’t hold back this time! Prepare to face your death, young man!”
With that, he once again performed the silver seals with both his hands, and they grew stronger in his
palms before those silver beams transformed into twisted runes midair. These twisted runes gathered to
form a second silver star within a single breath. The star floated and rotated speedily on top of Wesley’s
sword.
The operation energy in the sword also grew increasingly strong. At this moment, Wesley’s strength once
again increased to a new level. When the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud achieved the perfection level,
seven stars would appear on the sword. Wesley had not achieved the perfection level at that level and
was only in the preliminary level. Even so,monfolk were no match for him.
In the previous fight, Dale was defeated when he unleashed two stars on the sword. The speed that
these two stars were rotating started to increase, and soon, a small swirl of energy formed around them.
“Wesley’s getting serious now, and that guy’s going to lose this time. Even though he’s stronger than
regr people, Wesley is one whole realm higher than him!”
“That’s right! Not only is Wesley one whole realm higher than him, but the level of the martial skill that
Wesley practices is much stronger than usual informal disciples. At the very least, he’s much stronger
than me. He must’ve achieved the preliminary level for his Seven Stars Meteor Cloud and is going to
achieve the proficient level soon. I haven’t even achieved the preliminary level yet!”
“It truly is quite odious to carry outparisons between people. Nheless, that guy is quite strong,
and he must’ve achieved the preliminary level with the martial skill he practiced, even though he can’t
compare to Senior Brother Wesley. Otherwise, how could he be so strong and achieve aparable
result as the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud?”
“Still, what was the martial skill that guy used just now? There weren’t any obvious overpowering energy
motions, and I even wondered if that guy pulled a prank or something.”
Murmurs and gossip rumbled throughout the audience seated. Among everybody there, only Noel
guessed correctly that the martial skill Jackie had used belonged to the soul attribute, and that was why
there was no overpowering power fluctuation.
Chapter 2020
Jackie nced at the small stars that spun wildly on Wesley’s three-feet-long sword. Jackie seemed to
be unfazed, even though the stars spun rapidly and formed a whirlpool-like funnel. Once the stars
exploded and released their power, ordinary people would not be able to withstand the overwhelming
power.
He once again performed the seal with his hands and formed the second soul sword, one much darker
than the first soul sword. At that moment, Jackie had solid control over the soul sword that he could
control both soul swords to attack freely or merge into one.
Jackie narrowed his eyes as he once again infused the soul sword into the ck dagger. The ck
dagger once again released a striking dark-colored light. When they took a closer look, the ck dagger
floating midair was releasing a wave of greyishck mist. It looked weirdly seductive and seemed
capable of enchanting anyone.
Wesley, of course, noticed what had happened, remaining silent as he frowned. He stepped forward as
he once again waved his sword outward. This time, both his speed and strength achieved the extreme
level.
Regr folks could not even make out what was happening with such speed. In the blink of an eye, the
sword lunged right toward Jackie’s face.
Everyone gaped at the sight in utter shock. They originally thought that Jackie would be cut into two
halves by the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud. However, Jackie managed to evade the attack from a weird
angle!
The martial art technique that Jackie practiced was the strongest in the Divine Void World, Divine Void
Heavenly Path. Practicing this martial art technique allowed him to control thews of space. Although
Jackie only understood a slight portion of thews, it was sufficient for him to use it during this battle.
Thews of space were much more uratepared to pure speed. If Jackie was just ‘fast, he would
be wounded by the overpowering energy, even if he managed to avoid the attack. However, he activated
thews of space which granted him the power to ignore the limitation of distance. Although it looked like
Wesley was attacking this space, Jackie had already used the power of space to transfer himself to
another space and evaded Wesley’s attack.
However, Jackie felt his true energy trembling in his body, and he had used up arge amount of his
energy after he performed this martial art technique. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead as he
panted heavily, and he silently warned himself that he should not execute this technique so carelessly in
the future. After all, he had not seeded in practicing this technique. Even though he evaded the attack
by utilizing the space, he had used up arge amount of his true energy, which was not worth much.
Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight.
“How did he evade the attack? He’s actually unharmed! Wesley’s sword was right at his face, but he
managed to evade the attack by turning around. Something’s weird with that.”
“That’s right! Seems to me that something doesn’t add up, too. It felt like Jackie wasn’t within the range
of attack at that moment. What’s going on here?!”
How could these informal disciples understand thews of space when it was such a peculiar matter?
Moreover, the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was only a sect in the West Cercei State, and all they could think
of at that moment was how difficult it was to understand what Jackie did.
Even though Wesley was shocked by Jackie’s capability of avoiding his sword attack, he did not stop.
There was a saying that went ‘it’s impossible to evade the unavoidable,’ and there would be a time when
Jackie would fail to evade.
Wesley turned around in the air and waved his sword, evoking a silver light to appear midair. He raised
the sword with his right hand and once again pointed it toward Jackie. He was much faster than before,
and the attack aimed straight toward Jackie’s head.
With a slight frown, Jackie raised his hands. One after another, the ck runes merged with the ck
dagger in front of him.
The moment the sword brandished toward him, the ck dagger released a ck light and once again
collided with the three-feet-long silver sword. Another audible crack was heard, and almost half of the
silver light dispersed after its collision with the greyish-ck light.
