Translator: 549690339

As Jack Clark stood hands akimbo by the balcony, gazing down thoughtfully below.

The door to the room opened, and a sweat-drenched Justin Welan walked in, saying cheerfully, “Jack, you’ve finished your cultivation, huh? Too bad you weren’t at the training field just now.”

“Otherwise, you would have seen the dismal look on Marcus Lee’s face, hahahaha.”

Justin Welan was delighted, he couldn’t help it. He was hammered off the martial arts arena by more than a dozen strikes from Marcus Lee in the freshman ranking tournament, and he would hold this grudge for a lifetime.

But now, only two or three months have passed, and both have broken through to the Third Layer Heaven, but the situation has reversed.

Earlier on the training field, the two of them were practicing against each other, and he stood still, allowing Marcus Lee to gather his strength up to the thirty-six hammer limits of the Chaos Heavy Hammer, but he was unable to shake the defense of the Mysterious Martial Thick Earth.

Jack suddenly turned around and asked, “Did you beat him?”

“…” Justin Welan’s smile froze on his face in an instant.

Justin Welan was speechless: “Jack, you will offend people with your talk.”

Jack just smiled.

Justin demonstrated his terrifying defense when he was hunting the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King in the previous period.

But extreme defense also reveals some weaknesses, such as the mediocrity of instant explosive movement speed, and his insufficient damage to enemies.

At this point, Justin came to the balcony, suddenly looked at Jack with a puzzled gaze: “Jack, let’s be honest, did you have another breakthrough in your strength?”

Knowing that he has a keen sense of Qi, Jack didn’t hide it, and nodded vaguely saying, “Well, not bad, there’s ‘a bit’ of progress.”

Justin rolled his eyes: “Modesty, keep being modest, do you think I don’t know that your strength is now several times stronger than it was at the beginning of the month?”

Because they all live in the same room, he has been sensitive to the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from Jack’s body these days.

He knows his strength has been greatly improving every day, although he is unaware of the specific progress.

Moreover, because everyone has been making less progress due to the lack of contribution points in this period, it is a bit strange that Jack’s strength is still growing rapidly compared to them.

Therefore, Justin suspects that Jack might have awakened some physical talent, just like Howard Lee’s Innate Divine Strength.

This situation has occurred many times in the cultivation world. Many people who only have average talent for Foundation Establishment start to accelerate their strength progression after they start cultivating, shining brightly.

At this point, Justin changed the subject and said with relief, “Fortunately we didn’t go to Erica Knowles, the class leader said in the group chat earlier that two geniuses died yesterday.”

“What a pity, they broke through to the Third Layer Heaven after cultivating for three or four months. If these geniuses do not die, they are expected to be at least Seventh Layer heaven powerhouses in the future.”

“Since ancient times, gains and risks coexist. Those who kill will always be killed.”

Jack said indifferently, “Those geniuses went to Erica Knowles and made as many contributions as we had for the previous two months in just over ten days.”

“But high returns often come with high risks,”

“After all, some of those in the Evil God Sect are also very strong, especially those blood envoys who have fused with high-level Blood Seeds. Every one of them has undergone mutations.”

More than 300 geniuses who have broken through the Third Layer Heaven in this period, including Crystal Leinster and her three friends, went to support Erica Knowles.

Compared to them who team up and move in groups, many of the geniuses from dozens of first-class martial arts schools are lone rangers, or teams of two or three people.

Under such circumstances, it would not be bad if they met an ordinary Third Layer Heaven believer, but if they met a fanatic or a Fourth Layer Heaven Blood Envoy, even they would not fare well.

This is also why Jack didn’t want to go initially. There are numerous powerful practitioners there, and the risks have exceeded his estimates.

The federal top level also noticed this situation, but no one cared, including the Ninth Heaven Peak power.

After all, they have already reduced all possible dangers to the lowest level, and at the same time, they have informed the risks about the Koroya Trial, including this support for Erica Knowles.

Under such circumstances, come if you want to come, don’t force it if you don’t want to.

The official can only provide all the basic preparations. How far you can grow depends on your own chance. If you want more resources, go and fight, fight, push yourself to the limit and stand at the forefront of the times.

If they die in such circumstances, it just means that it was fated to be so.

The world has never lacked geniuses.

They are not nannies, they also have their stuff to do, and this time in order to deal with the invasion of the Blood God Sect and the Giant God Sect, several high-ranking powerhouses fell.

Those people were geniuses back then.

However, Crystal Leinster and the others were lucky enough to survive without danger, even after some close encounters, only receiving minor injuries at most.

On the other hand, White Veil, Zac Lyons, and Mullen Weisz, who went there at the same time, have already been injured several times, almost died when White Veil encountered a blood envoy in the early stage of the Fourth Layer Heaven three days ago.

White Veil is still lying in the hospital, because he’s not willing to use contribution points to exchange for advanced healing resources.

As for Howard Lee, after absorbing the Essence Blood of the golden-backed violent ape, his strength reached a higher level and directly killed two early-stage Fourth Layer Heaven fanatics, making a name for himself.

Justin suggested, “Jack, we’re going back in a few days, do you want to go shopping for some local products together this afternoon?”

“… Sure.” Jack nodded.

Time flew by, and he had been out for almost two months. To be honest, he did miss home a bit.

Justin grinned, “Alright. Let’s have our meal first, and then we’ll also call Marcus.”

After this trial, Jack has gotten quite closer to several people from the school. They were comrades in arms who have fought side by side and faced danger together.

In the afternoon, the three of them drove an off-road vehicle to the mall in the city center.

With the passage of two months, Lester City’s economy has recovered. Although their only department store wasn’t crowded, there were still people everywhere.

“Gentlemen, the wood carvings in this store are one of the specialties of our area. The store has been open for decades, and you can take a look to see if there are any styles you like,”The store manager, with a broad smile on his face, led Jack Clark and the others into an art-inspired wood carving shop.

The sales assistant inside hurried over upon seeing them, nervously saying, “Welcome, feel free to look around. If you see anything you like, let me know, and I’ll get it for you.”

Well, it couldn’t be helped. Even without considering the imposing figures of Marcus Lee and Justin Welan, their black uniforms with red edges alone were enough to command an invisible deterrent here.

Jack Clark nodded slightly, “No need to rush, we’re just having a look.”

At that moment, Justin Welan approached a black-gold statue half-human in height with interest, “Jack, this carving of a Wind Splitter Tiger is not bad, you could buy it to place on your desk.”

The salesperson immediately began explaining, “You have a good eye for a customer. The wood used for this sculpture is Mutant Steel Wood, heavy as iron and resistant to insects, and it has a faint sandalwood scent.”

“After being carved with care by one of our masters, it perfectly replicates the aura of the high-level mutant beast, the Wind Splitter Tiger, and has great ornamental value.”

Jack Clark glanced at him, “Such a big thing, can you carry it easily?”

H

Uh… I guess so.”

Just then, Marcus Lee picked up a delicate wood carving the size of his palm that resembled a Mutant Dragon Lizard, “1 think this one is good. I’m sure my sister will love it.”

“You have a sister, Marcus?” Justin Welan expressed surprise.

Marcus Lee replied gruffly, “Rubbish, is it strange for me to have a sister?”

“It’s not really strange. It’s just, are you sure your sister will like this sculpture of a Mutant Dragon Lizard?”

While the two of them were bantering, Jack Clark took a liking to a wood carving about 30 centimeters tall. It was a sculpture of a furious mountain giant ape standing by the hill.

The person who carved it was very skilled. The ape’s fur seemed as realistic as a live beast. Its expression filled with rage and violence, and it looked just like a real Mutant Beast.

Next, led by the manager, the men visited other shops. For Doris Raven, Jack Clark bought a golden necklace with dazzling gemstones.

After the onset of the Transcendent Era, the prices of gold and gemstones have been decreasing year by year. Now, they can barely maintain the status of ordinary luxury goods.

There were also a few other goods.

After buying some local specialties, Jack Clark and his friends returned to cultivating, waiting for the trials to end.

However…

At eleven in the evening, as Jack Clark was relentlessly slaughtering the mutated beasts under the sea, he and Justin Welan’s mobile phones vibrated, someone was @ing them.

“Who is looking for me at this hour?

ii

With a puzzled look on his face, Justin picked up his mobile phone. Suddenly, his face changed, and he sat up, “Jack, something’s gone wrong. Freya Louise is badly hurt.”

“What!”

Jack Clark on the bed, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and sat up. As he turned his head towards Justin Welan, a terrifying murderous intent flashed in his eyes which were still immersed in the Sword Armor Beast state, startling him.

“Jack Clark, don’t scare me. They’re only injured, not dead.”

Jack Clark took a deep breath, his eyes blinked slightly; when they opened again, they had returned to normal. His brows crinkled, “Did they say exactly what happened?”

“No, Mandy just @ed us in the group chat, saying that everyone had been injured and was in the hospital. She didn’t say anything else after that”.

Jack Clark said in a deep voice, “I’ll give her a call and ask.”

Normally they wouldn’t contact each other by phone, unsure whether the other party was on an outbound mission or cultivating. If they needed to communicate, they would just do it in the group chat.

Jack Clark scrolled through the list of team contact numbers he had saved, found Mandy’s number, and immediately dialed. The call was answered after two rings.

“Mandy, what’s the situation over there?”

Mandy on the other end of the line chuckled bitterly, “The target was us this time. A high-ranking Blood Envoy in the Mid-Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven who excels in stealth and assassinations.”

“The reason we were targeted was because we killed his brother—the Blood Envoy that was assassinated by Freya on our first day in Koroya.”

“…” Jack Clark paused, had not expected this.

Pausing, Jack Clark spoke in a grave voice: “What is the current condition of Freya and the others? Is there any danger to their lives?”

“My sister and Matt Watkins weren’t severely injured. After using Mysterious Jade Pulp, they have largely recovered. However, Freya got injured rather badly, her heart got impacted.”

“Although the Mysterious Jade Pulp has fixed most of the external injuries, the shaking of her heart has resulted in Qi Blood deficiency, so she needs to rest in the hospital for a while.”

“You don’t need to worry about safety. This is the core area of the Federation. As long as the Blood Envoy dares to approach within a kilometer, he will be detected.”

Jack Clark’s brows slightly creased, “Koroya has many high-level, and even high-ranking powerhouses. How did the culprit manage to run away after attacking you in the city?”

Mandy replied with a bitter smile, “I don’t know what happened, but a large number of strong people were transferred away from Kelter yesterday. Currently, only ten teachers are stationed.”

“However, after learning that there is still one Fourth Layer Heaven’s Blood Envoy, Howard Lee and the others are conducting a city-wide search. The situation now is not clear.”

Jack Clark then asked about some details, and only after getting all the answers did he hang up the phone, falling silent.

In actuality, he had entered the Heart’s Eye Realm, letting his mind wander. Jack focused on sensing his intuition when he thought about going to Koroya.

Perhaps it was because the situation there had already almost concluded, so this time, the intuition in his mind did not react.

Jack Clark opened his eyes, speaking deeply, “Old Justin, let’s head to Koroya.”

Justin’s eyes lit up, “I knew you would want to go, Jack. The guy who dare injured the squad leader and Freya Louise is done.”

After knowing that they weren’t in any life-threatening situation, Justin Welan also grew more relaxed.

Jack Clark glanced at him, spoke lightly, “We’re all classmates and we get along well. Naturally, we should go and see them since they are now injured.”

“I understand, I understand.” Justin Welan grinned, “I understand.”

“Understand your head, get up and pack your bags ASAP. After packing, I will go find Professor Zhao. You go and borrow a modified off-road vehicle from the base next door..”
