Chapter 73: Boyce Goes South


    Jacob did not renege and the Shaw family indeed had the capabilities of a centuries-old family. Within a


    day, they were able to gather and collect the materials required conducting the Mana Collecting Matrix.


    As agreed, Jacob was at the Shaw family’s pugilistic centre and arranged arge scale Mana


    Collecting Matrix. From then on, the Shaw vige aura gathered at Jacob’s training area as well as the


    Shaw family’s pugilistic centre.


    Thereafter, Jacob arranged a simple psychedelic array on his Mana Collecting Matrix to prevent


    anyone from barging in to disturb him at the most critical moment of his istion.


    After these werepleted, Jacob didn’t waste any time and began his istion. He wanted to use the


    shortest time to break through the second phase of “Gasification” stage and enter the third stage of


    “Incarnation phase”. Once he was incarnated, he would be as powerful as a God.


    As long as Jacob could enter the Incarnation phase, then a lot of his magic that could only be used by


    those in incarnation phase could be used. Inclusive of his self-created Nine Secrets of Demon Emperor


    and other secret magic of the incarnation phase.


    Jacob was excited when he thought about it.


    Once he could enter the incarnation phase, then not to mention sniper rifle, he would not be scared of


    jet fighters, tanks, and even artillery.


    When that happened, he would totally have the ability to protect himself.


    …


    …


    There was no end to practicing martial arts. A lot of practitioners in the Universe would iste


    themselves for years and even decades. Some of the old Sages may not be seen for centuries when


    they go into istion.


    Half a month had passed since Jacob isted himself at the Shaw vige.


    If Jacob used the practice method in his previous life, he would have already broken through to the


    Incarnation Phase by now. But during this life, he had the Chaos Pearl and Jacob practiced the Power


    of Chaos. All the aura of the heavens and earth would transform into the power of Chaos and nothing


    remained.


    Hence, the practice process was much slower than Jacob expected.


    In the practice, Jacob forgot something. Another way of putting it was this matter was never taken


    seriously by him. It was insignificant to be even considered by him.


    …


    …


    It was almost a month and the Boyce Goldsmith started to move south towards Riverside city. The


    news of Boyce heading south immediately caused huge ripples in the martial arts world in China.


    Boyce was an emerging Virtuoso and the youngest martial arts Virtuoso in this century which attracted


    all the attention of the martial arts world.


    After Boyce left the Capital city, he went to City Y to challenge Jerome Lester, an old Virtuoso of City Y.


    That battle was conducted in secret at the Lester family in City Y. No one knew what happened and


    neither the oue.


    After he came out of the Lester family, he left City Y and continued heading south. He did not return to


    the Capital. Hence, most people guessed that Boyce the emerging Virtuoso had won.


    This news spread rapidly across the martial arts world in China.


    But many expressed their doubts. Although Boyce was very talented and could be regarded as the


    most talented in China’s recent century, he only became a Virtuoso for a month. How could a new


    Virtuoso win Jerome Lester who had been a Virtuoso for many years?


    But soon all these doubts were broken.


    Because when Boyce left City Y and continued heading south, he went into City X to challenge the


    leader of City X’s renowned martial arts center, Mortimer Osborn. Mortimer was strong and at the peak


    of his martial arts abilities, unlike Jerome of City Y who was an old Virtuoso.


    He was angry that a young man came to challenge him. He felt that even if Boyce was talented and


    skilled, he was just a young man who just attained the Virtuoso status. How could it be so simple for


    him to march southwards to establish his status in the martial arts world as an invincible fighter?


    Mortimer epted Boyce’s challenge but did not conduct it privately. A stage was set up in City X to


    fight Boyce openly and stop his march south. But in this battle, Mortimer lost! He lost to someone who


    just became a Virtuoso. It was a great humiliation.


    This battle shut the mouths of all those who doubted Boyce’s abilities. This caused another tremor in


    the martial arts world of China. The youngest man in China in this century to reach Virtuoso had proven


    his capabilities. He had proven that not only could he master his skills quickly, his fighting abilities were


    also powerful.


    Everyone thought that Boyce would return to the Capital after defeating two great Virtuosos, proving his


    abilities and establishing a name of invincibility. They thought that he would go into istion and


    consolidate his gains and fortify his foundation as a Virtuoso. But Boyce did not return to the Capital.


    He continued south and went into South Riverside Province.


    He challenged the Virtuoso of the Parker family, Ronald Parker.


    This immediately shocked those people who were following the news of Boyce’s march southwards.


    This chap was insane. This was the impulsiveness of a youth, not knowing his limits!


    But when they thought through it, it actually made sense for him to do it. He should establish a name


    for himself now since he was so talented and had the self-confidence.


    But now, the majority did not think highly of Boyce.


    When he challenged Jerome of the Lester family City Y and City X’s renowned martial arts center


    leader, Mortimer, they were considered Virtuosos at the preliminary stage. But Ronald Parker of South


    Riverside Province was an intermediate-stage Virtuoso.


    Most of the practitioners of martial arts only know that a person needed to have incredible powers to


    achieve Virtuoso status.


    But, most of the martial arts talents were stuck at the Virtuoso-to-be stage. It was very difficult to break


    through to the Virtuoso status. Those who could breakthrough and enter this phase were amazingly


    talented.


    Then, only a very small number of people know that within the Virtuoso levels, breaking through each


    level was exceedingly difficult. Arge number of Virtuosos would remain at the preliminary stage.


    Just as the Old Virtuoso of City Y, Jerome. He achieved Virtuoso at the age of forty and now at ny


    years old, he was still a Virtuoso at the preliminary stage. Perhaps for the rest of his life, he would not


    be able to rise to the next level. So it could be seen how capable Mortimer was.


    With Boyce’s talents, it was not a problem for him to breakthrough to reach the intermediate stage of


    Virtuoso Phase. But now he had just be a Virtuoso at the preliminary stage within a month and


    wanted to challenge Mortimer.


    Even if he had defeated the two great Virtuosos who were at the preliminary stage, that wouldn’t


    matter. The skill level differences of the preliminary stage and the intermediate stage was an


    insurmountable chasm.


    Practically no one understood the actions of Boyce.


    In his path southwards, he had already made a name for himself as invincible. Why was he looking for


    trouble? Boyce did not offer any exnation but once he was at the South Riverside Province, he


    delivered a challenge to Mortimer of the Parker family.


    Mortimer actually agreed and the challenge would take ce in two days’ time.


    …


    …


    At a luxury five star hotel in South Riverside Province. A slim and handsome young man sat on the


    sofa in the presidential suite. He looked at two people seated in front of him.


    One was tall and slim while the other was short and fat. These were two twins.


    Something happened during their martial arts practice and their skeletons deformed resulting in their


    current looks.


    But because of their deformations, these two rose to the superior level of martial arts and broke


    through to their current status of Virtuoso-to-be. They were now considered to be among the top


    Virtuoso-to-be.


    It could be said that apart from Darnell Clifford, they do not have anypetitors among the Virtuous-


    to-be.


    Darnell once attained the Virtuoso status and now was a Virtuoso-to-be. It would definitely not be a


    problem if the two brothers were to take on Darnell together.


    “Santiago, Tyrone, both of you go to the North Riverside Province and find out the chap who blinded


    Uncle Calvin. If he was a Virtuoso, tell him that in three days I will go to North Riverside Province to kill


    him. If he dares to run, not only will I chase him to the ends of the earth, I will also kill those around


    him!” The young man on the sofa calmly said.


    The pair of twins, the elder brother was Santiago Volker while the younger brother was Tyrone Volker.

    Once they heard the young man’s instructions, they immediately replied, “Master, it will be done!”


    After hesitating for a while, the tall and slim Santiago said again, “But Master, How do you want us to


    handle Lena Bell?”


    The young man pondered deeply after hearing the words and said coldly, “For Lena, if she is still a


    virgin, then bring her back to me. If not, kill her.”


    “Yes Sir!”


    Santiago and Tyrone immediately turned to leave and headed to North Riverside Province.


    The two of them disregarded what the other people were saying about Boyce’s southbound march.


    Those people were certain that his advance would be broken by Mortimer. His once invincible


    reputation would then be wrecked.


    Everyone didn’t think that their master’s fight with Mortimer would go well. But they knew that even if


    their master didn’t win, he would also not lose! Those who didn’t know Boyce would not understand


    how terrifying he was. So even if Jacob was a Virtuoso, when Boyce said that he would go to North


    Riverside Province to kill him in three days, he would definitely do so. Boyce would certainly kill Jacob.


    Santiago and Tyrone were also very hostile towards Jacob who probably cuckolded their master.


    …


    …


    In Riverside City of North Riverside Province…


    Kaley was extremely busy with thepany’s new productunch.


    Once Jacob provided the solution to the problems with research and development, about a monthter,


    the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series would finally beunched.


    Kaley already prepared the productunch of the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series. This time, she


    was exceedingly thorough.


    Additionally, with the Hansen family and the Bell family’s assistance, Kaley was certain that as long as


    thepany officiallyunches the “Gone with the Mist” products, then it would take the world by


    storm.


    The results of the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series had far exceeded her expectations. It could


    also be said that it exceeded everyone’s expectations. It didn’t even have any adverse side effects.


    And all these were given to her by her husband, Jacob.


    Kaley smiled blissfully when she thought about Jacob. But very quickly, the smile turned into bitterness.


    From the moment they resolved their differences and decided not to divorce, they even slept together


    once.


    But that night, Jacob didn’t even touch her. And after that night, Jacob never went home for the night


    not to mention sleeping on the same bed with her. Of course, now Kaley knew that Jacob was a martial


    arts Virtuoso and she understood that he had to practice the arts. She knew that Jacob was in istion


    but still she felt bitter.


    Kaley worked tillte in the night before leaving the office for home. When she opened the door, there


    was someone in the house. There was one who was tall and slim, another who was short and fat. They


    sat on the sofa while they waited for her.
