Female Novel
chapter 1971-1975
Chapter 1971 Such an obvious dare used in such a despicable way. jackieie could not help but laugh coldly after heheard this. Such a challenge was useful to others, but just not against jackieie.
The other newly recruited informal disciples were spirited after they heard this and looked at jackieieexcitedly, wanting him to accept the challenge. To these people, jackieie was capable of fighting Wesley.
Thinking jackieie would not agree to the wager with the way how silent jackieie was save for his sneer,Wesley frettingly added, “You’re the number one disciple among those who are newly recruited. If you’reterrified now, what do you think others will think about you in the future?”
jackieie spoke in a low-voice, “I do not care about how others think about me. Don’t you wish to fight mein the wager battle arena? I’ll grant you your wish, but I’m not doing this because of what you’ve said. Ijust feel that you deserve to be taught a lesson.”
A smile immediately appeared on Wesley’s face when jackieie agreed to it. However, the last sentencejackieie said was like pouring a bucket of dogs’ blood on his face, and the delighted expressionimmediately disappeared.
Wesley stared at jackieie with gritted teeth, wanting nothing more than to rebuke him loudly. If the sectdid not have rules that prevented them from fighting in private, he wanted to fold his sleeves and teachthis gallant man a lesson.

This guy dared say that he needed to be taught a lesson. Nobody dared humiliate him in such a waythroughout the years!
“Listen carefully, you b*stard. I’ll make you pay dearly.”
jackieie raised his eyebrows and looked at Wesley calmly. “You can keep those fifty pieces of lowergrade spirited crystals as gifts for this faithful dog you have beside you. I’m not taking them. Let’s set thewager battle at the end of this month.”
It was the beginning of the month, and jackieie kept enough time for himself by setting the wager battleat the end of the month. However, the time period that jackieie thought to be sufficient was just a blink ofan eye in other people’s opinion.

After all, the time period of a month was still quite short, and it would not increase jackieie’s fightingprowess much. What jackieie had said not only slapped Wesley, but he also included the man withtriangular eyes.
The man with triangular eyes was so furious that he pointed at jackieie and trembled, almost lambastinghim right then and there. However, Wesley stopped him.
Wesley turned around and spoke with narrowed eyes, “Alright! We’ll go according to the timing you set.You’ll have to remember it well, though. Don’t be so terrified that you don’t show up by then.”
jackieie returned to his room without looking back after he finished speaking. He closed the room doorwith a slam without replying to Wesley.
In Wesley’s opinion, such actions were no different from slapping him on the face. He was so angry thathis entire body trembled. The man with triangular eyes started yelling, “Does this guy even know how tofollow the rules?! What a b*stard; he doesn’t understand the immensity of heaven and earth. Seniorbrother, you can’t let this guy off the hook easily when you guys meet in the wager battle arena!”
The corners of Wesley’s mouth curled into a ruthless sneer. “Don’t you worry. I’ll teach this guy a lessonwithin the margins allowed by the rules. I’ll show him who he can offend, and those that he can’t afford
to.”
He waved his sleeves with a cold scoff before he left. The man with triangular eyes and the others alsofollowed after Wesley like they were his henchmen.
The newly recruited informal disciples who originally came outside for a chat were in no mood tocontinue staying outside. What Wesley and the others said caused them to be quite upset. Some of themwere so angry that their entire body quaked, but there was nothing they could do.
Chapter 1972 As they did not have the strength to defeat Wesley, they could only look forward to jackieie avengingthem. The news of jackieie and Wesley meeting in the wager battle arena traveled as if they had wingson them. All the informal disciples learned of the news within an hour.

Hence, everybody waited for time to pass, anticipating the lively battle. jackieie once again asked Nashto come out after he entered his own room and gave him a brief explanation about what had happened.
“I know that you’ve always been confident about your own strength, but it won’t be easy to go againstWesley,” fretted Nash. “Although Elder Lee praised that you should be one of the top three hundredinformal disciples, Wesley is one of the top two hundred. Are you that confident in this duel with him?”
jackieie shook his head, “I’m not a hundred percent confident right now.”
Nash naturally got nervous when he heard this, and he instinctively sat up straight. “Then why did youagree to it?”
jackieie pulled the teapot on the table over to pour two cups of tea for himself and his father. “I mean thatI’m not a hundred percent confident now, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be confident one month later.On top of that, I’ll have to face more trouble in the future if I don’t agree to it today. Just like what Wesleysaid, there are only thirty individual rooms like the one I’m staying in among the informal disciples. It’spossible that these people think that I’m not worthy of the room. If I don’t prove myself with my strength,there will be endless trouble in the future. It’s best to just solve the issue once and for all.”
Nash naturally knew about the helplessness jackieie was feeling. This world had always followed thesurvival-of-the-fittest concept, and only those with sufficient power could take more resources. jackieieunderstood this concept, and that was why he forcefully accepted this challenge from Wesley.
jackieie drank a mouthful of tea and continued,” Nonetheless, I’ll investigate him before the fight. I needto at least understand why he’s the one who came instead of the others. Does he have any peoplesupporting him, or was he ordered to do so by somebody else?”
Nash nodded and focused his eyes on jackieie. “Then, how do you plan to train during the comingmonth?”
jackieie drank his tea and exhaled before he said, “How can I train? I definitely have to enter the SoulHall. I still have fifty sect contribution points with me, although I have no idea how long I can train in theSoul Hall with fifty contribution points. However, I’m sure it’s enough for me to give it a try. I need to atleast know how the Soul Hall helps raise the speed of training for soul attribute martial skills.”
The Soul Hall was located at the west side of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and was not very far awayfrom where jackieie stayed. After all, he was new here and only knew the general direction of the SoulHall but had never visited the place. Hence, he simply pulled a runner disciple to lead the way for him.
This runner disciple was Brook Davis. A runner disciple was someone whose strength was not at thelevel of an informal disciple but still wanted to join the sect to train.
These people normally lacked the support from their families, and their lives were not enjoyable even ifthey did not join the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. It was better if they joined the sect as a runner disciple.Although they had a slightly exhausting life, they were given the resources to support their training.
Brook naturally knew about jackieie. Although jackieie was not well-known among the higher leveldisciples as they might not know who he was, he was quite famous among the informal and runnerdisciples.
After all, he was about to challenge a person who was in the top 200 among the informal disciples by theend of the month. Brook dared not look down at jackieie as there were some differences between theirpositions.
After a simple inquiry, jackieie learned that Brook had been in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for four years,and he knew a lot about the things that happened in the sect.
jackieie took this opportunity to ask about Wesley. Brook had a flattering smile on his face. “Not only isSenior brother Wesley stronger than usual informal disciples, but he has a strong background. Seniorbrother Wesley will break through into the initial stage of acquired level soon and become a formaldisciple. He’ll then become Elder Sayer’s elder disciple.”
Chapter 1973 jackieie looked at Brook in surprise when he heard this. He could sense that Brook meantsomething else from the way he spoke, and with a small frown, jackieie asked, “He’ll become an elderdisciple after just becoming a formal disciple?”
The steps in becoming a formal disciple had been noted in the jade identification card, but nothing waswritten in the jade strips about how to become an elder disciple or chosen disciple. jackieie knew that theelder disciples were one level higher to usual formal disciples, but they were not much higher.
The most important disciples in the entire sect were the chosen disciples as they were the cream of thecrop. Only those who were promoted to the chosen disciples level could train the martial art technique
and martial skills of the highest level.
However, jackieie had no idea how to become a chosen disciple.
Brook smiled politely; he must have realized that jackieie did not know much about this stuff. Hence, heexplained patiently, “Actually, the so-called elder disciples are when those informal and formal elderschoose a disciple among the formal disciples as his chosen disciple, Senior brother Wesley is from theSayer family, which is very famous in the Dual Sovereign City. The strongest master in the Sayer familyhappens to be the informal elder of our sect.
“Elders from usual sects will get members from their family to be their chosen disciples. In fact, the elderdisciples might not be any stronger than other formal disciples. The only distinction is just their identity.”
jackieie finally understood what the elder disciples meant after he heard what Brook said. The action ofElder Sayer taking in Wesley as his chosen disciple was, in fact, just taking the younger generation of hisfamily under his wing. After all, this was the only way Wesley would get better grooming.
This would strengthen their family’s power, and it made sense why Wesley did not care if jackieie wouldhave a high achievement in the future. After all, he had Elder Sayer as support. He felt that even ifjackieie was able to go one step higher and take up an important position in the sect, jackieie would notmake things difficult for him because of Elder Sayer.
jackieie sneered at the thought of this. If this was what he had in mind, jackieie could only say that hewas too self-righteous.
jackieie was not the kind of person who would muddle around. Those who dared go against him had tobe prepared that he would retaliate against them. He walked with Brook as they conversed.
jackieie asked one last question as they approached the Soul Hall. “Do you know how to become achosen disciple?”
This was the million-dollar question jackieie, one that jackieie was focused on all this while. The sectwould only focus on grooming a person after a person became a chosen disciple. Others would not daretrouble him because of his identity too.
Although jackieie was not afraid about others causing him trouble, he wanted to focus more time ontraining
Brook replied, “There aren’t many obstacles to overcome if you want to become a chosen disciple.There’s no need to go through different layers of screening, but there’s only one word that you need toobey.”
jackieie raised his eyebrows in surprise after he heard this. “Which word?”
“Fight! There are a total of ten chosen disciples, and they’re the strongest disciples among all disciples. Ifyou think that you have the strength to challenge the chosen disciples, you only need to challenge one ofthem. If you manage to defeat them, you become a chosen disciple.”
This did not scare jackieie. Instead, a burning spark was ignited in his heart.
Chapter 1974 After absorbing the soul fragments of the great master, jackieie experienced an even morevast world. Although the Hestia Continent was much stronger in terms of training when compared to theDaxia world, they were still incomparable to the Divine Void World.
It was just the position of a chosen disciple in a small sect located at West Cercei Island of the HestiaContinent. jackieie did not pay much attention to it. Brook raised his head and glanced at jackieie beforehe secretly shook his head helplessly.
He was able to see how determined jackieie was in wanting to be a chosen disciple. Throughout theyears, he had interacted with an uncountable number of disciples, and he saw the same expression ontheir faces.
However, the determination to win would wear off within a year or two. It was really difficult to get to thatposition as the chosen disciples were the ten strongest people in the entire sect.
Although the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was nothing in the Hestia Continent, it was one of the top sects InWest Cercei Island. The sect recruited many of the masters from the West Cercei Island, and this was aconcentration camp for prodigies.
To step on the shoulders of these masters to become one of the top ten among them would require ahigh amount of talent and strong willpower. Too many disciples had failed as they tried to climb into theposition of chosen disciples, accepting their fate when they realized the lack of talents.novelbin
jackieie was definitely different from the others; he was several times more talented than Brook.However, Brook felt that he was still not qualified to become a chosen disciple. jackieie might be able toshine brightly among the formal disciples, but he would not be able to become one of the chosendisciples.
Nonetheless, he had a great impression on jackieie. Some of the informal or formal disciples would lookdown on his identity as a runner disciple during their interaction. They would even yell at him and speakto him condescendingly.
That never happened with jackieie, and he looked at Brook as his junior brother. He could not help butremind jackieie, “All our disciples can’t have a fighting prowess higher than the innate level. The strongera person is doesn’t mean that he’ll get a higher position.”
jackieie nodded. He also noticed this from the jade identification card. After all, when a sect groomeddisciples, they would want to groom them during the time when they were worthy of grooming. Theinnate level was a level separation in West Cercei State.
All the disciples could not have a fighting prowess higher than the innate level. Once they break throughthe innate level and achieve the spirit assemblage level, they would leave the identity of disciple and take
an important position in the sect.
Zeph and the rest were also in such a situation. They used to be disciples from the Dual SovereignPavilion, and they started taking important positions in the sect after they broke through into the spiritassemblage level. They broke away from their identity as disciples and became administrative membersof the sect.
This meant that even the chosen disciple with the highest fighting prowess would only be in the initialstage of acquired level, not breaking through into a higher level. jackieie slightly nodded. He was able toidentify the hidden meaning behind Brook’s words. He was secretly reminding jackieie that he coulddecide on the strength and talents of those chosen disciples in the way he usually thought.
“Thank you. I have one last question: Who’s in charge of the Soul Hall?”
Brook replied with a smile, “The Soul Hall doesn’t have any person in charge. They only have discipleswho accepted missions. This is an opportunity to earn contribution points in a more laid-back manner.”
jackieie immediately understood what was happening after he heard what Brook said. The masters whohad broken through into the spirit assemblage level definitely could not be in charge of gathering thecontribution points in the Soul Hall. That would be like making a fuss over a trifling matter.
Instead, the disciples who wanted to earn contribution points could help do the job. They could collectthe contribution points and turn on the equipment in the Soul Hall.
The door of the Soul Hall seemed to be painted with black ink. jackieie could feel his soul trembling fromafar.
Chapter 1975 When jackieie opened the door to enter the hall, he could not tell if his mind played tricks on him, or if he
truly felt it: He felt a wave of wind blowing toward him and went straight into his soul through his body, Itunnerved him.
The hall had very simple decorations, and there were several small doors at the back of the hall, theheight of a man. All sorts of charms and markings were drawn on these doors, and with just a glance atthese things, jackieie felt his eye hurting so badly that he could not look at them.
A table was placed in front of these doors, and a disciple was dozing off behind the table. jackieie knewthat he was also an informal disciple from the way he was dressed, but jackieie did not recognize him.He also knew that such assignments would not be given to newly recruited informal disciples. This mustbe an informal disciple who was his senior. That person supported his face with his hand and was sodrowsy that his eyelids drooped.
Compared to other training grounds, not many people frequented the Soul Hall. After all, not manypeople practiced martial art techniques or martial skills of the soul attribute.
Noel Karl barely raised his head as he might have heard the footsteps or felt that somebody had enteredthe hall. He had a cold expression on his face, lazy as he was, though that did not upset jackieie.
He raised his head and spoke in a clear voice,” Greetings, Senior brother Noel.”
Before entering this place, he had asked Brook who it was on duty at the Soul Hall. Noel had the sameidentity as jackieie, but he had joined the sect for two years.
Two years was enough time for many informal disciples to become formal disciples, but Noel’s talentswere limited. Noel seemed to be extremely tired. He raised his eyebrows, frowning as he sized upjackieie.
“You must be the newly recruited informal disciple, are you?”
jackieie nodded. There was no need to hide this fact, and he could not hide it even if he wanted to. Noelscoffed, seemingly derisive.
“What a rare sight for newcomers like you to visit the Soul Hall. The Soul Hall seldom receives visitors.Who would’ve expected for a newly recruited informal disciple to come here when I’m on duty today.”
Noel emphasised the last sentence, and jackieie understood what he meant. In the minds of thesedisciples who joined the sect via the usual assessment, those who came in due to ‘special conditions’were a joke. Putting all of them on the same pedestal was insulting to these informal disciples.
Noel’s words might sound bad, but they were not as sharp as those spoken by Wesley.
jackieie raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Does our identity matter when it comes to practicingmartial art techniques and martial skills of the soul attribute? Are newly recruited informal disciples notallowed to enter the Soul Hall?”
These questions might have been asked with a calm tone, but there was also a hint of jackieie’s temperin the way he uttered them. Noel realized that this disciple was not a simpleton, and he did not have suchan important background as Wesley did.
He was just a very common informal disciple. He did not have outstanding talents nor a bright future.Noel had not even broken through into the final stage of innate level at this moment.
Even if he managed to break through into the final stage of the innate level, he would have to accept thechallenges from the disciples who have not broken through into the final stage of the innate level themoment he became a formal disciple. By then, he would only be forced to give up his position and returnto the embarrassing identity of an informal disciple.
