chapter 2161-2170
Chapter 2161
Everyone was stunned by Jackie’s martial art technique. No matter how they used their divine senses to
probe, they could not feel any energy fluctuations from the martial arts technique conjured up by Jackie.
After all, the more powerful martial arts technique, the greater the fluctuation of energy, but the grayck
daggers in Jackie’s hand were like ck holes with no energy fluctuations.
At this time, the ten light des were already within ten yards of Jackie. Emotionlessly, he pushed his
hands forward, and the ten Soul Swords instantly collided with the ten light des.
All everyone heard was a burst of bang, bang, bang, like cannonballs crashing against each other. An
eye-piercing light briefly shrouded the two of them, and the next second Jackie already had his palms
together.
After the light subsided, a three-foot-long giant Soul Sword shot out in the air toward Oliver. The others
might not know it, but he knew that his ten light des all instantly exploded into a light ball, and were
extinguished aftering in contact with the gray-ck energy.
What surprised him, even more, was that the ten Soul Swords remained unscathed. The ten Soul
Swords converged into a giant Soul Sword after Jackie put his palms together, and in a blink of an eye,
appeared in front of Oliver.

“Shit!’ thought Oliver. It would be the end of him if he was shed by the giant Soul Sword. He
desperately backed away. Fortunately, his Light de Lore not only increased his attack speed but also
his own speed.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Jackie, who had no intention of letting him escape so easily. Jackie
snorted, narrowed his eyes, and once again used thews of space.
The giant Soul Sword, which was originally five yards away from Oliver, broke through the shackles of
space and appeared instantly in front of him after Jackie used thew of space.
All the spectators’ eyes widened, and jaws dropped when they saw that. Jackie gritted his teeth; he knew
that things would not end well for him if he killed Oliver. Originally, the giant Soul Sword was aimed at
Oliver’s throat, but with a flick of his wrist, it changed its target to Oliver’s right shoulder. Immediately the
sound of metal scraping against bones could be heard.

“Ahh!” Oliver’s scream broke through the clouds, making everyone gasp. He quickly staggered back, but
lost his bnce mid-way, and fell from the air to the ground with a heavy thud.
Tears began to flow out of the corner of Oliver’s eyes. He had always prided himself on having never
cried from pain, but this time there was no forcing back his tears. He had never felt pain like this; it was
as if his soul had been torn apart! His entire body was convulsing. He could not even breathe properly,
let alone stand up.
Seeing this stunned everyone into silence, and for a long time, the only sound that could be heard was
the screams of Oliver.
“Is this really happening? Did my eyes deceive me? Did Jackie just neutralize Oliver’s strongest attack
with one move? What are those gray-ck swords? How is it so powerful?”
“Brother Oliver actually lost! And to a newly recruited informal disciple at that! This kid…” The person
could not continue on anymore.
Chapter 2162
The winner of the battle was obvious, but this result was uneptable to everyone present. No one
thought that Oliver would be defeated by Jackie. From the very beginning, everyone thought Oliver
would be able to take down Jackie in one move or three at the most.
However, it turned out to be a long drawn-out battle. Oliver was still no match for Jackie even after
casting his strongest attack. He had lostpletely and was seriously injured.
He was still screaming and crying on the ground. It did not take much to imagine just how much pain he
was in, for which martial artists would be willing to shed tears in front of others? One’s pride would never
allow them to do such a thing.
“Jackie is just too strong! Can someone please enlighten me how he got this strong?” said someone in
shock.

“I would like to know too! He would have no problem being ranked in the top five amongst the formal
disciples!”
“No wonder he was so cocky before! Brother Oliver never stood a chance at all!”
Everyone’s evaluation of Jackiepletely changed. Now it seemed like they were the clowns, not him!
Even till now, Jackie ignored them.
Wesley felt his legs turn into jelly and copse to the ground. He stared helplessly at his big brother who
was still rolling around in pain on the battle tform.
Out of everyone there, Wesley was the one who was most worked up. How could he remain calm when
his own big brother was defeated by Jackie, who he had a grudge on since the day they knew each
other’s existence.
His back was ramrod straight, but his expression was lost. Suddenly, he shook his head vigorously, as if
wanting to wake himself up from this nightmare. “No, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can
Oliver lose to Jackie? I must be hallucinating! Yes, this must be a hallucination!”
His expression was frightening to look at. His face was ashen and pale at the same time as if he had just
recovered from a serious illness. The man with the triangr eyes standing next to him was stunned
speechless. He, too, nursed a grudge against Jackie. He thought by allying himself with Wesley, one day
he would surely see Jackie meet a tragic end, but again and again, it was Jackie’s opponent who had
tragic endings.
The man with the triangr eyes took a deep breath. At this time, he was not in the mood tofort
Wesley. His mouth twitched and said, “How is he so powerful? He wasn’t this powerful before!”
The rest of the informal disciples were shocked and did not know what to say as well. However, they
were not as shocked as the formal disciples because they had prior knowledge of Jackie’s talent.
Still, it was a long time before they couldpose themselves. It was impossible for Jackie to be this
much stronger than he was previously. Could it be that he has been concealing his power all this time?
Chapter 2163
A month ago, it took Jackie all that he had to defeat Wesley, but now, he effortlessly defeated Oliver.
Although Wesley and Oliver were brothers, there was a world of difference between their powers. After
all, Oliver joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion a few years earlier than Wesley.
Then there was also the fact that Oliver was ranked eighth amongst the formal disciples while Wesley
was not even in the top fifty of the informal disciples. It would take years before Wesley could even catch
up to his big brother. That was why it was so shocking that Jackie was able to bridge the great gulf of
power within a month!
“Jackie definitely hid his real power from us! There’s no way that he could have leveled up so much
within a month!” said an informal disciple firmly.
“It must be so! After all, the gap in power between Oliver and Wesley is really too big. It’s likeparing
apples and oranges. It was only a month ago that Jackie barely defeated Wesley, and now he defeated
Oliver without even sweating much! This is not something that can be done within a month!” said the
person next to him.
“In any case, Jackie is too strong! He’s so strong that I don’t even dare to dream about catching up to
him! And he’s only at the intermediate stage of innate level whereas Oliver’s at the final stage of innate
level!”
This sentence reminded them that Jackie had actually defeated someone who was one level higher than
him. Gradually, they began to realize that there was definitely something extraordinary going on.
Not only were all the disciples shocked, but the elders on the round tform were also in disbelief. They
could not believe what they had just witnessed.
The First Elder’s lips were trembling, and he nced at the Second Elder. He immediately felt a little
better when he saw that the usually impassive Second Elder was also trembling with shock.
The Second Elder exhaled deeply, turned to face Elder Godfrey, and scoffed. “I now know why you’re so
insistent on having Jackie as yourst disciple. His talent and strength indeed qualify him to be yourst
disciple. However, I do wonder why you never bother to tell us all in the first ce.”
On the surface, the Second Elder’s words sounded like praises, but he was actually ming Elder
Godfrey for making a joke out of them.
Elder Godfrey arched his brow, the only change in his face. He was a little irked by the Second Elder’s
words and wanted to brag a little to blow off some steam, but this was the first time he saw Jackie in
battle too.
He was not much different from others; he went ck -jawed the moment he saw Jackie neutralize
Oliver’s Light de Lore, and wound him with a single move. Although he knew Jackie was
extraordinary, he did not expect him to be THIS extraordinary.
Elder Godfrey sighed. He knew that he could not let the others in on just how shocked he was. “Didn’t I
tell you before that myst disciple has to be excellent in all aspects? Why would I choose Jackie if he
did not meet the criteria?”
Chapter 2164 The First and Second Elder’s faces turned dark after they heard this. The Second Elder
was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched continuously as he narrowed his eyes. The First
Elder did not hide his anger and red at Elder Godfrey maliciously. He looked like he was about to rush
forth and give Elder Godfrey a scolding. Elder Sayer, who sat behind the whole time, also looked terrible.
He had a twisted expression on his face as he tightened his fists. Jackie was the Sayer family’s enemy.
The stronger Jackie was, the more unfavorable the situation was for him.
At this moment, Oliver once again yelled out in pain. This time, his cries were much more intense as the
pain seemed to have invaded his spine. “Ah! It hurts! Help me!”
Elder Sayer snapped out of his daze when he heard the cries. He immediately stood up from his seat
and rushed toward the battle tform. He performed seals after seals with his hands and the seals
rushed onto the guardian array like a meteor shower before merging with the guardian array.
Everybody only heard the clicking sound of the mechanism being activated and the guardian array was
instantly removed. Elder Sayer’s feet hadnded on the battle tform and he hurried toward Oliver. He
stretched out his hand to help Oliver up before taking several pills from his storage space and feeding
them to Oliver. He then checked Oliver’s pulse and his face instantly darkened after he checked Oliver’s
wounds.
He instantly looked up and red at Jackie hatefully. “You b*stard, how dare you do such a terrible thing.
How can you do something like this by tearing up his soul?!” Elder Sayer was furious. The wounds on his
body were fine but the wound that his soul suffered were much more difficult to recoverpared to the
wounds on his body. Apart from that, those wounds required the help of exceptionally expensive pills.
From the looks of things, Oliver’s wound would require at least six months to recover.
Six months might be nothing to the elders but it was extremely precious to the disciples that were in their
growth period. How could Elder Sayer not get angry when this could affect Oliver’s future.
There were no changes on Jackie’s face when he heard this. It did not matter to Jackie even if Elder
Sayer died on the spot due to anger. He chuckled lightly and said calmly, “I don’t understand what Elder
Sayer means by this. In a battle between two people, I will definitely do my best unless I really
understand Senior Brother Oliver’s true strength! There’s always a possibility of getting wounded during
a battle and it’s even more difficult to control one’s strength when the person is trying their best.
Everybody saw that if I didn’t hold back when the two of us were performing ourst attack, Senior
Brother Oliver won’t be able to cry out in pain right now.”
Elder Sayer was so angry that his face blushed a crimson color. He stretched out his hand and pointed at
Jackie as he spoke, “What a young man with a glib tongue. Since you can control yourst attack, can’t
you just directly disperse the attack! In that way, Oliver won’t get hurt.”
Jackieughed out loud when he heard what Elder Sayer said. However, hisughter sounded cold as
he red coldly at Elder Sayer who was standing in front of him. How dare he say such a thing? Was he
asking Jackie to disperse his attack so that Oliver could bounce back and they would end up in another
life or death battle?
Jackie red at Elder Sayer coldly. “Didn’t you see how Oliver attacked me? He was trying to kill me.
Why can’t I attack him when he’s allowed to do that to me? I know that Oliver is a member of your Sayer
family and you will definitely be on his side. However, you cannot support him blindly and forbid me from
attacking him while allowing him to kill me!”
Chapter 2165 What Jackie said immediately caused his surroundings to quiet down. Jackie’s words were
sharp and devastating. However, that was exactly what Elder Sayer meant. He only allowed Oliver to
attack Jackie but forbade Jackie to do the same!
All the disciples standing there looked at Elder Sayer angrily. Elder Sayer humphed softly and
understood that he had been caught in the trap by Jackie. If he continued the conversation, it would hurt
his prestige. He might even lose his position as an elder because of this. He humphed coldly and said,
“B*stard, don’t you quote what I said out of context. That is not what I meant.”
“If so, what do you mean? Why are you questioning me so angrily for what I did? I didn’t break any rules
and I didn’t kill Oliver. I also did not cause him to be disabled for life. Since I didn’t break any rules, why
are you questioning me?”
What Jackie said sessfully choked Elder Sayer and he felt like he had swallowed a huge piece of
stone. The stone was stuck at his throat and he was unable to swallow or spit it out. As an elder of the
sect, he was forced by Jackie to a point where he was speechless.

Jackie smiled coldly and said loudly, “I know what Elder Sayer means. If I’m the one who’s badly
wounded and on the ground, you will be sitting on the round tform, looking at Oliver happily. However,
you’ve rushed over to question me because Oliver is the one who’s on the ground right now. I can
understand that you’re just protecting your family. However, you should treat every disciple the same as
you’re an elder. I’ve never expected for you to be so biased!”
“You!” Elder Sayer was so angry that his eyes were almost popping out of his sockets.
“All of you, shut up! Elder Sayer, why are you wasting time speaking to him on the battle tform instead
of helping Oliver to receive his treatment?!” The First Elder’s voice traveled far and exploded loudly by
everyone’s ears.
At this moment, the First Elder was so exasperated that his entire body hurt. Oliver could be considered
a disciple siding with him and Elder Sayer was an unwavering supporter of his. One of them was
defeated by Jackie while the other ignored his position and started a fight with Jackie. The most
embarrassing part was how Elder Sayer was suppressed by Jackie and was unable to win the argument.
The First Elder was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
The corners of Elder Sayer’s mouth twitched and he knew that things would not end well for him and the
First Elder might teach him a lesson if he insisted on fighting with Jackie. He exhaled deeply and
forcefully suppressed his anger. He asked others to help Oliver down the battle tform and sent him
away for treatment. Jackie also walked down from the battle tform slowly and steadily.
Everybody was looking at Jackie. They still remembered their feelings when they initially looked at Jackie
walking up the battle tform. Right now, everything had changed and the strength that Jackie
demonstrated was really shocking! Just as Jackie walked down the battle tform, he suddenly raised
his head and looked toward the First Elder, who was on the round tform.
The First Elder had no idea why but he felt ufortable when he saw Jackie looking at him. He saw
the corners of Jackie’s mouth curling upward and a standard smile appeared on Jackie’s face. “First
Elder, please don’t forget about the bet between us. You can directly ask somebody to send the sect
contribution points over or I can personally pick them up.”
All the audience was in an uproar once again when they heard what Jackie said. The First Elder’s face
had already turned into a crimson color and he recalled at this moment about his personal promise to
Jackie that he would top up 300 contribution points on top of Oliver’s wager of 700 contribution points if
Jackie won.
Chapter 2166 The First Elder scoffed indignantly and spoke, obviously flustered, “Don’t you worry. As the
First Elder, I’ll keep my promise and send the sect contribution points to youter!”
He then flicked his sleeve and turned around to leave. He might feel that his presence had no other
meaning apart from embarrassing himself. Since the First Elder had left, the other elders did not need to
stay, too.
Jackie’s room still looked the same. It was a standard single-bed room with a wardrobe, a table, a chair,
and a shelf. After he returned from the noisy gathering spot, Jackie had been tidying his belongings. In
fact, he did not leave many things in this house. Apart from his bedding, there were only several ancient
books that he borrowed.
Brook and Noel had also followed Jackie to his room, they had been talking throughout their journey.
Their conversation did not stop after they entered the house and sat by the table.
The excitement on Noel’s face was overflowing. “You have no idea what those people thought of you
when you walked out from the crowd. Some were jealous, some hated you, and some admired you,
surely. Anyway, you have the respect of them all. You defeated one of the top ten formal disciples as a
newly recruited informal disciple. I don’t think there are many people in the sect with such a record!”
Brook nodded vehemently, and he was much more excited than Noel. After all, he was just a runner
disciple, and it was his great honor to be acquainted with Jackie, who would definitely be a chosen
disciple in the future. “Elder Sayer looked at you like he’d eat you. When you ask the First Elder to
remember the three hundred sect contribution points he promised, Elder Sayer glowered so badly. Not
only have you defeated Oliver, but he has to give you seven hundred contribution points obediently. This
time, he has suffered a terrible loss!”
Brook could not stop smiling when he thought of this. When Jackie mentioned that he was going to have
a fight with Oliver, no one around Jackie thought of him highly. Everybody belittled Jackie terribly,
wanting to trample all over him. However, their view of him changed so quickly, faster than skimming
through books, and soon changed the direction of their conversation. They started to mock Oliver and
said that he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
Noel poured himself a cup of tea. “This time, no one in the sect dares question you. Those who looked
down at you dare not say anything right now. I’ve never expected you to be so strong that even Oliver
can’t contend against you. No wonder you could survive the dangerous Mount Beasts.”
Brook could not stop running his mouth when it came to matters regarding Jackie’s strength. He inhaled
deeply and said, “How can you be so strong? What martial skill are you practicing? How did you still
manage to crush Oliver when you’re challenging him from a lower level? The question of what martial
skill you’re training is in everyone’s minds right now. Some people are even guessing that you’re
practicing an Earth level martial skill!”
Brook and Noel’s expression changed when they heard the words, ‘Earth level martial skill’. The two of
them were so excited that they forgot the most crucial point. However, Jackie obviously had no ns of
telling them about this. He only chuckled and packed everything. He pointed toward the outside of the
door. “Elder Godfrey sent somebody to inform me that I’ll head directly to the Mysterious Green Hall after
I pack my things.”
In the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, every formal elder owned their personal hall, and the one belonging to
Elder Godfrey was known as the Mysterious Green Hall. Noel and Brook were not insensible, and they
stopped asking when they noticed Jackie not wanting to continue with the topic.
Brook mentioned that he wanted to send Jackie to the Mysterious Green Hall, and Jackie agreed to it.
The three of them left the individual house and walked towards the Mysterious Green Hall.
The Mysterious Green Hall was located at the east side of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion where disciples
did not dare venture to, apart from the elder disciples. Jackie had already be Elder Godfrey’sst
disciple and was naturally a member of the elder disciples. Hence, his living quarters had changed from
the secluded room to the Mysterious Green Hall.
Noel and Brook had never visited where the formal elders stayed. The two of them wanted to apany
Jackie there with hopes of getting a peak. The informal disciples stayed at the west side of the entire
sect, and they had to walk across the entire sect to reach the Mysterious Green Hall.
Chapter 2167 They talked as they walked, meeting many other disciples along the way as they did.
The battle at the gathering spot made Jackie rtively well-known, and a lot of people viewed him in a
different light from then on. Most of them looked at him with admiration, but some envied Jackie
immensely. Despite this, Jackie’s expression remained stoic and unperturbed, no matter what the
people’s opinions were of him.
The closer they were to the east side, the fewer the disciples they ran into. After all, the people active in
the east side were mostly the management members with high positions, or even elder disciples. Jackie
and the rest did not know their way as this was their first time here. They struggled to find their way here
and had to ask for directions from several disciples.
The only road to the Mysterious Green Hall was one turn away. They quieted down a little as they got
closer as their surroundings were utterly quiet. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing past the
bamboo trees, the only thing that could be heard were their voices. At this moment, Noel suddenly
frowned as he lowered his voice and said, “Who’s that guy up ahead? Why is he looking at us like that?”
Jackie followed his voice and looked over. A man was standing behind a clumper of bamboo, and he
seemed to be doing that on purpose so that they could not see him clearly. However, all three of them
could see the hostility in his eyes. Jackie frowned as this was the only route to the Mysterious Green
Hall.
Was this a member of the Mysterious Green Hall?
Jackie continued walking, even though doubts riddled his heart. Jackie could only see the person a little
better as they approached. This person was quite good-looking, and Jackie was surprised when he saw
that the person was wearing clothes that indicated he was a chosen disciple. There was an obvious
division between the sect’s disciples. The disciples had different clothes ording to their ranking of
being informal disciples, elder disciples, and chosen disciples.
This person had three begonias sewn on his waist, and he was obviously a chosen disciple as well.
All three of them raised their guards mentally upon seeing him.
Brook had the lowest position, so he decided to hide behind the two others. Only his eyes were seen
peeking out behind them as he looked at the chosen disciple in fear.
Griffin Olsen looked at Jackie coldly. “Why are you looking at me so alertly? I won’t do anything to you
right now.”
What he said sounded like he wanted Jackie to be at ease, yet it was aplete power show. Jackie
frowned; this person did note bearing good intentions. He had no idea who this person was as he
had only joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion recently. He could not have offended a chosen disciple,
either.
Jackie could only gesture politely with his hands out of his mannerism. “May I know who you are?”
Griffin raised his eyebrows. “I’m a chosen disciple, Griffin Olsen. Remember this name; you’ll be hearing
it often in the future.”
Jackie frowned at Griffin’s intonation. He was even more concerned about why Griffin was purposely
blocking his way here to meet him.
Griffin stared at Jackie coldly. He seemed to have read Jackie’s thoughts as he sneered and said, “I had
to meet you. You so effortlessly won a spot while my brother lost his.”
Jackie was puzzled when he heard this. He had no idea who Griffin was, let alone his brother. As for the
spot Griffin mentioned, could it be the spot as thest disciple? However, Jackie’s guts told him that what
Griffin meant was not the recently obtained spot as thest disciple.
Chapter 2168 Griffin’s words and him waiting for Jackie at this location had confused Jackie greatly.
Although Griffin was a chosen disciple and every disciple would automatically feel inferior to them as
they were the future hope of the entire sect, the chosen disciples did not have such treatment when it
came to Jackie.
Before Jackie could understand the meaning behind Griffin’s words and tone, Griffin was already so
arrogant toward him. Jackie, unable to tolerate such behavior and not wanting to dilly nor dally, chuckled
softly and said in a slightly cold manner, “I really don’t understand what you mean, Senior Brother Griffin.
I don’t know anything about this spot you’re talking about.”
Griffin raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing In what Jackie said. Griffin scoffed indignantly and
looked at Jackie as if he had chosen the hard way to deal with things. “You really think I don’t dare do
anything to you? Although you’re already the Eleventh Elder’sst disciple, you’re just an elder disciple,
but you’re nothing to us chosen disciples. Oliver Sayer is definitely a top disciple among the formal
disciples, but he’s just a newbie in my opinion. I can easily achieve what you were able to do. Don’t think
that you can show off in front of me just because you’ve got some little achievements.”
Noel and Brook had slightly darkened expressions on their faces. Although Griffin’s questions were not
aimed at them, the look in his eyes was undeniably cold when he asionally nced at them. The two
of them proactively took a step back.
Jackie smiled coldly and said in a baffled manner, “I don’t know if there’s something wrong with your
eyes or your mind. When was I arrogant and showed off in front of you? This is the first time I’ve met
you, and I’ve never heard of you before today.”
Griffin was, to Jackie, a hrious character.
Griffin’s face flushed a purple color when he heard what Jackie said. As a chosen disciple, he had never
expected for Jackie to have replied with such a sharp tongue. Since he became a chosen disciple, all
regr disciples were extremely respectful when they interacted with him. None of them dare act like
what Jackie did as he dared mock Griffin’s intelligence.
Griffin’s fingers slightly trembled as he spoke, ” Amazing! I’ve heard about how unruly you are, and now,
I’ve finally experienced it myself. I originally nned to forgive you if you’re sensible enough. However, it
looks like… You’ll be stepping all over us chosen disciples if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
Jackie closed his eyes, utterly bewildered. He abhorred those who, as being in a higher position, spoke
to him in such an interrogative manner. They always treated him with such a condescending attitude, and
they would feel insulted once he said something they disliked. As a result, they would go against him.
Jackie exhaled deeply, not wanting to waste a single second of his time. “What do you actually want?”
Griffin raised his eyebrows and took a step forward. His aura slowly increased as he wanted to suppress
Jackie with his aura. However, Jackie was not made out of paper. Although Griffin hadpletely
released his momentum, Jackie stood his ground, expression stoic as ever as though he was undaunted
by Griffin.
“I think it’s best if you cease such useless actions. Just say what’s on your mind, not beating around the
bush. I don’t understand anything you said previously,” remarked Jackie coldly.
Chapter 2169
Griffin’s expression faltered and darkened, utterly embarrassed for not overpowering Jackie. However,
he felt that Jackie might say something worse if he wasted time here. He knew that this was the only
road to the Mysterious Green Hall, and if anything happened here, members of the Mysterious Green
Hall would definitely support Jackie, while he might be in trouble due to this.
Griffin suppressed his anger after deliberating the situation. “I’m not here today to question you. Instead,
I hope that you’ll be smart enough to give up he spot to visit the Secret ce for Resources. You’re just
in the intermediate stage of innate level, and you’ll be in danger if you visit that ce. It’ll be better if you
stay in the sect and focus on your training. You can visit the secret ces in the future when another
opportunityes along.”
While it might have looked as though he was advising Jackie, Jackie was no fool and knew Griffin would
not be so considerate toward him. It turned out that the reason Griffin came looking for him was because
of the Secret ce for Resources. However, Jackie had never heard anything about himself gaining a
spot to the Secret ce for Resources.
Elder Godfrey’s figure shed through his head when he thought of this. It looked like the spot had
something to do with Elder Godfrey. Elder Godfrey might have even strived for this spot for him. If that
was the case, he definitely could not yield the spot to Griffin.
That man spoke so impolitely and mocked him in such an enigmatic manner. On top of that, Griffin even
wanted to suppress him with his momentum. If he honored such a person, he would really be ashamed
of himself.
Jackie chuckled. “I still don’t know what this spot to enter the Secret ce for Resources is, but it doesn’t
matter if I know about it or not. Since I have a spot for that, I won’t give it up. You’re right that I’m only in
the intermediate stage of the innate level, but carrying challenges ahead of my level is nothing to me.”
Griffin’s expression darkened and he once again looked at Jackie fiercely, but Jackie ignored how Griffin
looked at him.
Jackie’s expression remained neutral as Griffin sized him up with a sharp look in his eyes. Griffin scoffed
indignantly coldly and flicked his sleeve furiously. “You truly are an utterly arrogant person. I’ve already
given your respect, and you tantly refuse it. In that case, pinpointing you in the future!
Jackie tilted his head to one side as a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. “Don’t you find your own
words funny? What do you mean, respecting me? You were the one who came up with such pompous
excuses when you’re actually pushing me for such minor benefits. Why should I listen to you? If you wish
to pinpoint me, feel free to do so. After all, I don’t mind adding you to my enemy list!”
Jackie then took a detour from Griffin, who stood before him, and strode toward the direction of the
Mysterious Green Hall. Noel and Brook dared not look up as they ran after Jackie, heading toward the
same direction.
Griffin flushed a crimson color out of anger as he tightened his fists and red at Jackie’s figure
hatefully. He looked like his anger could only be resolved if he could pounce and bite Jackie.
He inhaled deeply and hissed through gritted teeth,” You’re too pompous, young man! Don’t think that
you’re free to do as you like just because you have the support of the Eleventh Elder. Just wait and see!
I’ll make you kneel and make you take back what you said in tears, sooner orter!”
With that, Griffin immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction of where Jackie was
headed to while Noel and Brook followed after Jackie. The two of them had to walk inrge strides to
catch up with Jackie as he was walking speedily.
Chapter 2170
Noel slowly turned around to look at Griffin carefully while walking forward, and only when he saw Griffin
turning at a corner and leaving did he call out to Jackie, “Wait for me!”
Jackie stopped walking and turned to look at Noel, who looked visibly pale and with trembling fingers.
Jackie chuckled and knew this was the first time Noel faced the chosen disciples. It was normal for him
to be afraid under the coercion of a chosen disciple’s aura.
Noel inhaled deeply. “You truly are courageous, and I genuinely admire you. I don’t think I’d be that brave
to stand up against him if I were you!”
Jackie nodded wordlessly.
Brook raised his chin and said confidently, “Senior Brother Jackie is different from you. He’s a disciple
elder and has the support of the Eleventh Elder. What does it matter if that guy is a chosen disciple?
Apart from that, he’s obviously causing trouble. Even though we have no idea what the spot to enter the
Secret ce for Resources is, it’s definitely something good as even Griffin is fighting for it. If so, it’s only
natural that we can’t simply yield this to others!
Noel nced at Brook speechlessly. “You don’t have to remind us of this. I know that Jackie is different
from how he used to be, but chosen disciples are still chosen disciples. You won’t have a nice life if he
ns to pick on you. I’m just thinking that we should reduce the number of enemies we have in the
future.”
Jackie nodded as he understood that Noel was considerate toward him, but he did not agree to what
Noel said. He turned around and looked at Noel with a serious expression on his face.
Jackie’s clothes fluttered as the breeze blew at his clothes. However, Jackie stood straight as if the
strong wind could not bend his spine. “I understand what you mean, but you have to think about it
carefully. Even if I yield this time, he’ll still force me again if something simr urs again in the future.
Should I yield to him every single time? If so, why should I be a martial artist? I won’t be able to
improve if I lose so many great chances.”
He paused here and exhaled softly before he continued, “I’ve always been somebody with my own
principles. I won’t offend anybody if they did nothing to me, but I’ll double the reprisal if they dare offend
me. If they’ve alreadye picking on me, I’d rather die than be a coward and yield my opportunity.”
Noel’s expression darkened upon hearing this. He mocked himself by chuckling softly and stretched out
his hand to tap Jackie on the shoulder. “You’re right. If a martial artist wishes to go against nature, they
have to be equipped with the mentality you have to achieve the peak of martial arts. However, I’m
different from you, being the extremely careful person I am. I’m not as talented as you, so I don’t have
the confidence and strength.”
Jackie did not say anything and only looked at Noel in silence.
Noel chuckled and pointed at the Mysterious Green Hall in front of them as he changed the topic of the
conversation. “Let’s go inside so that we both can learn something new!”
The Mysterious Green Hall was a huge pce, and if it was reduced in size, it could be seen as a house
with one main entrance. There were two side halls beside the main hall, and there was a small garden
with green nts nted in front of the main hall. There was a gazebo in the middle of the garden. As
trees covered most of the gazebo, Jackie could only see the outline of the gazebo.
The runner disciples invited all three of them to the side hall the moment they entered the hall.
The runner disciple did not make any self-introduction. He only introduced all the facilities in the side hall
and Jackie’s future amodation to them.
