Female Novel
chapter 2271-2280
Chapter 2271 Jackie turned around and did not respond. No matter what the masked man said, he acted as if he heardnothing. It did not matter how much he said.
On top of that, Jackie looked forward to the last challenge. If this was before the absorption of thatScattered Soul Crystal in the blood world, he might not be a match against the masked man. However,the current situation was different. The Scattered Soul Crystal allowed Jackie to form 20 soul swords.Coupled with the 15 soul swords he formed before, he had a total of 35 soul swords, which reassuredhim from being intimidated.
The mark that he had mastered Destroying the Void was when he managed to form 50 soul swords. Asof late, he was only 15 soul swords away from his aim of 50 soul swords. Once he managed to form 50soul swords, nobody in the innate level would be his opponent. After all, Destroying the Void was at leastI in the ultimate god level, and nobody in the innate level, apart from Jackie, could practice martial skillsof the ultimate god level. This was Jackie’s greatest advantage.
“A total of five people have passed the challenge!” The old voice spoke again and instantly silencedthose who were still embroiled in chatters and gossip. “Those who’ve succeeded shall continue to climbup the Divine Void Slope! This time, you’ll be allowed to climb a hundred and eighty meters and arrivebefore the sixth Divine Void Warrior!”
Everyone looked at the five challengers once the announcement was over. At this moment, Graham andthe others had almost recovered. All five of them wasted no time and immediately climbed forward. Outof the 180 people there, only five of them were qualified at this moment. Everyone else looked at the finalfive continuing their ascension as sadness, envy, and jealousy flashed past their eyes.
Riv could not help but lament, “This is really cruel. I thought that I’d be able to face the eighth Divine VoidWarrior no matter what, but I never thought I’d fail to even defeat the third warrior.”

Riv had never realized such a difference between his talents and the others. They were in the final stageof the innate level, but the difference was vast. He could even imagine how the eldest disciple of theCorpse Pavilion could kill him with a single attack. Riv was not the only one who felt this way as many ofthose there also felt the same. They felt terrible, but there was nothing they could do.novelbin
Jackie walked calmly as he climbed toward the 180meter-point, one step after another. An extremely tallDivine Void Warrior was already standing there, staring at him indifferently as if Jackie was the tiniest antin the world. It felt like he would disappear with a wave of the warrior’s hand.
It felt terrible to be stared at in such a way, but Jackie had already gotten used to it.
The Divine Void Slope was still covered by a layer of thin mist, and no one could even see clearly whatthe slope was made of. The five of them were placed at five different positions and were a certaindistance from each other. Apart from Jackie, they were looking at each other. Finally, they arrived at the180-meterposition 15 minutes later. Those who turned around to look backward from this position finallyfelt like they were able to see everything in a single glance. The clan brothers that were eliminatedlooked upward at them like little mice.

With the mechanism being activated, the sounds of cranks audible, the Divine Void Warrior startedmoving. The warrior was still holding his weapon, but he raised his leg and was prepared to move to oneside, much to the five’s confusion. After all, the Divine Void Warriors they faced in the past would notstart attacking before they got ready. The five of them could not help but walk several steps backward.
The Divine Void Warriors ignored all five people and moved to the left in unison to move away from theirprevious positions. As all five of them were wondering what the warriors wanted to do, they saw a red
light flashing past them the next second. Another Divine Void Warrior appeared at the position the firstDivine Void Warrior moved away from.
Chapter 2272 Not only did a Divine Void Warrior appear right in front of them, but the same Divine Void Warriorappeared on their left after the same red light flashed past them. “Goodness… Three Divine VoidWarriors? What’s happening?” Before the five of them said anything, those standing underneath theslope had already started to go crazy.
True enough, the challenges grew increasingly difficult, and now that three Divine Void Warriorsappeared at once, were each of them supposed to fight three warriors by themselves?
As they began to feel unsettled, the old voice once again appeared beside their ears. Each of you willfight three Divine Void Warriors, all slightly stronger than the warriors you defeated during the secondchallenge. However, these warriors also use the same martial skill, Dream Soul Swordsmanship.Defeating all three Divine Void Warriors is equivalent to passing the sixth, seventh, and eighthchallenges!”
Once the announcement was over, the people standing at the bottom of the slope once again startedrambling
50 percent of them failed to carry out the third challenge, while 99 percent of them failed to pass the thirdchallenge. However, most of those standing at the bottom of the slope experienced the secondchallenge, and the lingering fear toward the second challenge loomed in their hearts. Many of them weredefeated during the second challenge, and none of them could imagine that their sixth challenge wasfour times more difficult than the second challenge.
Four times the difficulty was inaccurate, however, as the Divine Void Warriors standing in front of themwere stronger than those they faced during the second challenge. More importantly, they had to defeatthree at once! On top of that, the martial skill they used was the Dream Soul Swordsmanship! When they
attacked, they would be divided into two, and if they failed to defeat the second one soon after theydefeated the first one, the warriors would absorb the remaining power left behind by the first warrior.
The second warrior would replenish itself, and its power would double in an instant. This meant that oncethey started fighting, each of them had to handle six Divine Void Warriors—all powerful beings, too!

“How are they supposed to defeat the warriors?” asked Riv, his mouth hanging open widely. Nelson alsosmiled bitterly and shook his head. “Even if I pass the third challenge by force, I’d fail this challenge forsure! It’s too difficult!” Nelson meant this from the bottom of his heart. Although he won easily during thesecond challenge, he was facing a limited number of enemies. He did not have the certainty of winning ifhe was asked to face six warriors at once!
The people standing at the bottom of the slope could not help but start mumbling.
“Do they even want them to let these people win the challenge? I feel that the difficulty set by this DivineVoid Slope is meant to make us stuck here so that nobody wins the challenge!”
“That’s right! Even if this fight represents the sixth, seventh, and eighth challenges, there’s still a ninthchallenge awaiting them. I wonder how difficult the ninth challenge is, seeing how difficult the previouschallenges were already. I’m scared to even think of the ninth challenge; I think that it’s almostimpossible to complete!”
The people standing at the bottom were extremely noisy while those five standing on the slope were inpeace. After some time, Benjamin was the first one to speak. “It’s quite challenging. Senior BrotherGraham, are… Are you confident?”
Graham glanced at Benjamin. The two of them were chosen disciples directly trained by the ThousandLeaves Pavilion. They were stronger and much more talented than usual disciples, and they alsounderstood each other’s strength well.
Benjamin was slightly uncertain as he faced the challenge that had doubled in difficulty. However, he feltthat Graham should be capable of passing the challenge. Graham exhaled and said. “Don’t go into thefight thinking you’ll lose; this will weaken your momentum. You won’t win with that attitude!”
Benjamin nodded and kept quiet. The masked man glanced at Lennon, the junior brother standingbeside him, without saying a word. Lennon was slightly nervous, but he understood his senior brother’stemperament well. The masked man would not have blinked even if he died in front of the masked man.
“You look like you can always remain calm no matter what happens,” remarked the masked man as heturned around to look at Jackie.
Jackie could not help but roll his eyes. This guy had always tried to cause him trouble, no matter wherehe was. He seemed to revel whenever Jackie was in any form of issue.
Chapter 2273 “Can you stop talking?” grumbled Jackie. No matter what, their relationship was especially acrimonious,and nothing good would happen even if he spoke nicely. This was why Jackie decided to not let this guyget used to doing this.
The masked man’s face darkened as Jackie spoke against him. He was so angry that he almost choked.“B*stard! Just wait and see! Don’t think that you’re safe just because I can’t do anything to you right now!
Jackie chuckled and replied nonchalantly, “Then I’ll be waiting for whatever you’ll do. I just hope that youdon’t beg me to forgive you in tears when we get to that point.”
The masked man was so angry that his hands trembled when he heard this. Graham and the otherseven looked toward Jackie in surprise; even he dared not speak to the masked man with such anattitude. After all, there were certain things he had to do in order to maintain their superficial relationship.Was Jackie not afraid that the masked man would try everything in his power to kill him after he spoke sodefinitively? Graham grew increasingly curious when he saw how calm Jackie was, but the argument didnot continue.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of sharp knives being unsheathed could be heard by all five of them, and they turned to looktoward where the sound came from at the same time. All five Divine Void Warriors standing in front ofthem released a bright red light from their eyes at the same time, bright like the sun. All three Divine VoidWarriors standing in front of each person pulled their weapons out at the same time. It was still a swordthat was three meters long, but this time, the sword was not covered in a purple light. Instead, the swordwas surrounded by a layer of intense red color, and it looked like the sun was burning.
“It’s coming!” Nelson looked upward and lowered his voice as he spoke. The people standing at thebottom of the slope started to get nervous. This was going to be a very intense battle, and they had noidea if any of them would be able to pass the challenge.
“Senior Brother Graham will pass the challenge, for sure!” exclaimed one of the Thousand LeavesPavilion’s disciples. The Corpse Pavilion’s disciples did not wish to be outdone and started shouting thattheir eldest senior brother would win when they saw that the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciples wereworking so hard. They even shouted that Senior Brother Lennon would also win. The sounds of peoplecheering could be heard coming from the bottom of the slope, and it shook the earth. However, this didnot affect the mentality of those five people standing on the slope.
Jackie restrained all his thoughts as he stared at the three Divine Void Warriors in front of him. Thewarrior in the middle moved, and he swung the red knife in his hands, rushing forward like a cannonball.
The two other Divine Void Warriors followed after the first warrior as they rushed to attack Jackie.
The same happened to all five of them, and those standing at the bottom of the slope saw everythingthat happened. The crowd inhaled deeply as things were happening just as they imagined. The threewarriors attacked in a semi-surrounding manner so that the five of them did not have a chance ofavoiding the attack!
Jackie frowned and continuously performed seals with his hands. The grayish-black seals formed in hispalms, and within the blink of an eye, all 35 soul swords appeared in his palms. The 35 soul swordsexuded energy that looked like mist.
At this moment, the Divine Void Warriors that came rushing toward him were covered in a red light in mid-air. The next second, the three warriors separated into six warriors. Six identical Divine Void Warriorsheld onto the same red sword as they aimed for the center of Jackie’s head!
Chapter 2274 Jackie put his hands together, and the 35 soul swords floating in his palms immediately combined intothree. Three huge soul swords floated three meters In front of Jackie, and a sharp look flashed past hiseyes.
The old announcer mentioned that the Divine Void Warriors were stronger than the warriors he facedduring the second challenge. Although they were not very much stronger, it was no longer realistic tohandle all six of them with the previous strategy he used. He had to defeat half of them first!
Once again, he performed the seals with his hands, and the grayish-black seals instantly merged withthe huge soul sword in front of him. The soul sword was like a cannon ready to be launched. With aswing, the huge soul sword rushed toward the Divine Void Warrior. Both parties moved speedily andrammed into each other before Jackie managed to take his second breath.
With a loud bang, the red light and the grayish-black soul sword collided with each other heavily. At thatmoment, the black and red colors blended together.
All of a sudden, with the sound of something creaking, the red beam seemed to falter.
Jackie only focused on attacking those three Divine Void Warriors, and the remaining three were stillrushing toward Jackie without hesitation. Jackie’s energy had been exhausted, and his new energy hadnot been replenished.
The remaining three Divine Void Warriors were right before him, and a gust of strong wind landed onJackie’s face. This was the energy wind aroused by a martial skill before the skill came attacking at him.Jackie could have very well suffered tremendously had the attack hit him squarely.
At this moment, Jackie’s eyes were bloodshot, and those three Divine Void Warriors had already turnedinto three bundles of red light. They arrived within three meters of Jackie’s surroundings at a speedinvisible to the naked eye. He could even see the sharp edges of the knives illuminated by the red light.All three Divine Void Warriors acted simultaneously, using a semi-encirclement attack and blocking allpossible escape routes Jackie had.
The people standing at the bottom of the slope were In an instant uproar when they saw this scene;Jackie was sure to lose if he failed to prevent this attack. After all, his strength was limited, and he wascompletely defeated during the first attack. He was fortunate to arrive at this challenge and fought withthe four other masters. If the martial skill he practiced did not happen to suppress the corpse puppets, hewould have been eliminated a long time ago.
On top of that, he was not the most careful when he attacked the warriors. The Divine Void Warriors hadincreased from three to six, but he managed to only combat three. Did he think that the remaining threewould not attack him after he defeated the first three of them? Such a method of confrontation proved hislack of experience in combat. Anybody who experienced several serious battles would not make such adecision and allow themselves to land in this unresolvable dilemma.
Griffin harrumphed coldly. “He’s done for this time!”
Griffin, however, discovered that Jackie was no longer where he stood at that very second. A secondlater, he heard a loud explosion, and the attacks from the three Divine Void Warriors slammed to thevacant spot where Jackie had stood.
He had disappeared into thin air.
Griffin could clearly hear the deep inhales coming from around him and his own pounding heartbeat.”Impossible! How did he disappear?!” growled Griffin’s hoarsely, his disappointment and anger evident.
Chapter 2275 Griffin was disappointed that Jackie managed to evade the attack and was enraged thatJackie was able to continue fighting
Jackie once again appeared right after his remark, though he did not stand in his initial position. Instead,he moved ten meters away in a flash and appeared behind the attacking three Divine Void Warriors.
Whoosh!
The huge soul sword that was fighting against the three Divine Void Warriors completely swallowed thered light. The grayish-black sharp sword acted as if it came from an abyss as it broke through the attackand defense of the first three Divine Void Warriors. The sword pierced through the bodies of the threeDivine Void Warriors within the blink of an eye. As the three huge soul swords pierced through theirbodies, the first three Divine Void Warriors instantly turned into red specks of light and floated in midair.
Jackie exhaled deeply as he stared at the red specks present after he defeated the first three Divine VoidWarriors. He knew that if he did not wipe out the remaining three warriors, these red specks would beabsorbed by the warriors to strengthen themselves. Jackie dared not waste any time. He roared lowlyand once again performed the grayish-black seals with his hands. The seals integrated themselves withthose three huge soul swords used to kill the first three Divine Void Warriors speedily.
All three huge soul swords released a bright blackish ray of light. Jackie took a black sword out of theMustard Seed at this moment. This sword achieved great things when they were in the blood world, andJackie felt extremely confident now that he had the sword in his hands.
All three huge soul swords immediately rushed toward Jackie as if their souls had been summoned afterJackie took out the black sword. Within the blink of an eye, all three huge soul swords melted on theblack sword like snow melting under the hot sun. The black sword immediately looked like it was coveredin a layer of grayish-black halo, and mist of the same color surrounded the sharp edge of the knife. It wasas if a black-colored fire was surging from it.
At this moment, those red sparks rushed toward the remaining three Divine Void Warriors speedily as ifthey had been summoned. Jackie grew taut like a tight rope as he activated the laws of space and onceagain disappeared from where he was.
He had to kill the remaining three Divine Void Warrior before those red sparks arrived!
At this moment, a loud cry of distress could be heard by his ear. A person flew across the air like a kitewith a broken string before landing heavily far away, Jackie was in no mood to see who had been sentflying away, however, as his eyes were trained solely on the three Divine Void Warriors like an eagle.
He waved his sword, and the combined power of those 35 swords was swung forward by the blacksword. A suffocating wave of spirit energy immediately landed on the Divine Void Warrior nearest toJackie. Originally, 11 soul swords were sufficient to kill one Divine Void Warrior, what more the power of35 soul swords combined into one.
Swoosh!
The black sword’s momentum did not weaken after It cut through the red sword. In the blink of an eye,the black sword had sliced the Divine Void Warrior into two. The warrior instantly exploded into specks ofred lights!
After killing one, Jackie gritted his teeth as he attacked the second Divine Void Warrior, who sped towardhim at the same time. The sound of weapons clashing against one another could be heard as the redand black swords collided with one another. An unstoppable wave of energy immediately exploded, andJackie broke the red knife into pieces.
The Divine Void Warrior quickly moved backward, but Jackie did not plan to provide him with anychances to retreat and attack again. He pounced forward again like a famished eagle who had notfeasted on meat for ten days.
Chapter 2276 With another slash of the sword, the second Divine Warrior completely disintegrated intospots of red light. In a flash, only one Divine Warrior was left next to Jackie.
This time, Jackie was not fast enough. That Divine Warrior had already absorbed the red spots from theDivine Warriors that died earlier. The Divine Warrior’s strength suddenly increased dramatically.
Jackie swept his divine senses around as he began to make estimations. The Divine Warrior before himhad strengthened by roughly a third. After his attacks, the third Divine Warrior once again put Jackie onthe defensive.
This time, Jackie was calm as usual. The space under his feet started to distort again as he retreated 5meters back, and this gave him enough time to catch his breath. As he took a deep breath, he started touse Destroying the Void again.
When the third Divine Warrior rushed at him, he raised his sword to attack once more.
After five breaths, a sound reverberated throughout, and the final Divine Warrior disappeared underJackie’s black blade.
The others were not done with their battles yet, and the energy fluctuations from their own battles turnedinto gentle breezes after being weakened by the spatial wall. The wind brushed against Jackie’s body,
and his hair fluttered with the gust.
His right hand held the blade as he stood still like a tree that would never fall for ten thousand years. Hestood right in front, and all the Divine Warriors were already dead. He had no more obstacles in front ofhim, and he could continue going upward. This time, he would arrive right at the 823-meter-range, wherethe last Divine Warrior was.
After going through the obstacles planned by the last Divine Warrior, he would reach the peak of theDivine Void Slope and face the final battle.
Of course, that was contingent on others being able to reach the final stage like he did!
“He won! He actually… won! He killed three Divine Warriors.” Those at the 274-meter mark gaped at thesight. Shock was no longer enough to describe what they felt at the moment.
Only Jackie’s immense strength allowed him to continue climbing.
They had thought that Jackie was not qualified and that his luck would not last, yet every judgment theylay on seemed to come back at them like a vicious slap on their faces.
Skilless? Luck? Did he really pass the third stage by sheer luck?
What about the other four who had yet to win? What about them?
Those people no longer knew what to say. They were already sure in their hearts that Jackie absolutelydid not have that skill, that he was not worthy of standing alongside the other four.
Everything that happened earlier was right before their eyes. Jackie fought quickly and decisively, and hehad a strange movement technique that helped him escape danger numerous times.
He broke through the attacks and defenses of the three Divine Warriors in one move, and after heavoided their attacks, he easily killed the three warriors.
They had thought that Jackie’s inexperience in battle had caused him to fall into a disadvantage, yetJackie seemed to have already known what to do, and had quickly dealt with the battle without delay.
Those Divine Warriors that feel so unbeatable to them went down like paper before him!
Chapter 2277 “Jackie seems far too strong. Compared to him, I’m nothing! Even facing just one DivineWarrior, I had to use my true energy to kill it, yet he fought three at once and didn’t seem to use too muchof his strength! Comparing myself to others will really be the death of me.”
“That’s right. I thought that this brat was only lucky to be able to get to this point, and he’s only at theintermediate stage of the innate level!”
The fact that Jackie was only at the intermediate stage of the innate level turned into their biggest pointof confusion in understanding Jackie’s true strength. After all, all of them were already at the late stage,thus those in the intermediate stage should have been weaker than them.
Shockingly, Jackie completely changed everyone’s view. They no longer dared to look down uponanyone at that level.
Griffin and Theo glowered at this. Everything they had dismissed as luck earlier had turned into sorespots. Jackie was strong-stronger than any of them.
If they had been in Jackie’s position, they would probably only have been able to last a few breathsbefore being surrounded and killed by the Divine Warriors. There was no second option!
“How could this be? He’s so strong!” Griffin’s lips quivered, his voice raspy with exhaustion.
Jackie shocked him far too much. Griffin’s confidence had been shattered again and again by Jackie,leaving him nothing but an empty vessel, unable to do anything.
Theo’s face looked even worse than Griffin’s. He was someone who always sought benefits. For thesake of the masked man, he had hid the true reason for his fellow disciple’s death and insulted Jackiewith the masked man.
Of course, he did so also because he was afraid of the strength of the masked man. At this point,however, he realized that Jackie, who he kept on targeting, was just as powerful as the masked man. Hewas no match for Jackie, and going up against Jackie was his greatest miscalculation.
Remembering the way Jackie looked at him, Theo felt a chill in his heart. Jackie would not let him off,and Jackie would surely kill him when given the chance!
Nelson looked at Jackie with a glint in his eyes, his lamenting already enough to fill up a whole bucket.He had thought that Jackie was a junior he needed to protect, yet Jackie was just as strong as directdisciples from fourth-grade clans.
No wonder Jackie had ignored Griffin from the start and had been so rude. He had the skills and couldwalk the talk!
Those from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion had the most complicated feelings about it. Other than Jackiehimself, not one of the 20 disciples from the sect thought that Jackie would be able to reach that stageand be so strong.
Riv muttered to himself, “If I recall… Didn’t he just start studying under the elder? He was even an outerdisciple before.”
Others did not know of Jackie’s growth, but the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples did. Jackie had justbeen an insignificant outer disciple before that, even if he was ranked decently among them.
They clearly remembered the Eleventh Elder picking out a disciple back then, and how intense thereaction had been when the Eleventh Elder picked Jackie. All of them said that Jackie was not worthy of
being under an elder and that the elder should have chosen an internal disciple.
At this point, it looked like their opinions back then were a joke. Even the first place among the chosendisciples would probably not be able to stand up against Jackie. Furthermore, Jackie was only at theintermediate stage of the innate level.
“Fiend!” Nelson spat out what he felt in his heart.
At the 549-meter-mark, Jackie turned back and looked at the heavily injured Lennon. The figure that wassent flying earlier was precisely Lennon, who had already been eliminated, and was sitting cross legged.
Lennon being the first to be eliminated was within Jackie’s expectations, because he was the weakestamong the five of them. Even Benjamin was slightly stronger.
Chapter 2278 Lennon seemed to have felt Jackie’s gaze. Lennon abruptly looked up, and when he sawJackie calmly looking at him, Lennon felt like he had been slapped on the face a few times.
He wanted to say something to protect his dignity, but no words came out of his mouth. All he could dowas hold back the burning feeling in his stomach, suffering without anything to retort with.
Before he saw everything for himself, Lennon would still have had the guts to shout back at Jackie’sgaze, That was no longer the case since Jackie’s skills were on full display.
The sound of close quarter combat could be heard, and Jackie did not even need to turn around to knowthat the battles of the other three were already reaching a conclusion.
“Ack, ack!” Benjamin spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes reddening as he reached his limits. He hadused up all the strength he had but only managed to kill three Divine Warriors.
If he tried to force it, he would only injure himself more. There were no miracles to be seen, so heshouted out with a heart full of reluctance, “I surrender!
His reluctance was pointless. The truth was right in front of him, and there was nothing he could do tochange it. When Benjamin shouted out those words, the red sword that was aimed at Benjamin stopped,and a vibrant red light fell on Benjamin’s body. The battle was over, and Benjamin was eliminated.
Jackie let out a sigh, not even looking at what was happening around him. He increased his speed as heset his eyes on the 823-meter-area, walking up step by step.
Jackie walked with a carefree stride, not thinking about what was happening around him at all. Hisactions rendered many speechless. Everyone had thought that Jackie would wait for everyone else’sbattles to end before returning the insults they had hurled at him several fold.
Regardless of what had been said, Jackie should still have returned the favor…yet it seemed like Jackiedid not care at all.
The 823-meter area appeared in front of Jackie. A Divine Warrior appeared in front of him just likebefore. He used the same gaze to look at Jackie, as if it did not matter what level of skill Jackie was atwhen standing in front of a Divine Warrior.
Even though he did not look back, he could still feel the gazes on him. He raised his head and lookedforward. The peak of the Divine Void Slope was captured in his eyes. A white glow encompassed thepeak of the Divine Void Slope, which was probably the reward for the victor.
Eighth-grade pills and Seventh-grade spirited grasses were just the least of the treasures. There werestill countless valuable things there. Thinking of this, Jackie could not help but recall the sneakingquestion that had been in his mind the whole way.
The Secret Place for Resources undoubtedly had close ties with the Divine Void Slope. The series oftests seemed to be aimed at picking an inheritor, and their conditions seemed very clear: they wantedsomeone with strong spiritual or martial arts training.
Even though those people from before kept running their mouths and ended up being caught by surpriseby his skill, he still had to say that he was very lucky. Those tests so far seemed tailor-made for him.
If it had not been for that, it would have been much more difficult for him to reach where he was.
Just as his thoughts wandered, a faint shout came from below him.
Jackie subconsciously turned around to look. The masked man had just taken down the last DivineWarrior with a slash!
The red lights were swallowed by dark purplish lightning, and the last Divine Warrior turned into spots ofred light, dispersing into the air.
The masked man’s right hand was slightly trembling, his breath erratic after using a lot of his true energy.The masked man struggled to stand up straight, and his eyes were like a crescent moon, exuding a coldand arrogant glow.
Chapter 2279 He won! The masked man had passed this stage, too! His lips curled up slightly, feeling rather pleasedwith himself
The masked man had put his full focus on the battle earlier, so he did not know what was happeningaround him at all. He had no clue who was eliminated and who had succeeded.
However, all of that was not important to the masked man at all. He refused to believe that there wasanyone else who could possibly complete the task before he did.
He let out a cold laugh, thinking to himself that Jackie was just a piece of trash who happened to belucky Graham was a little skilled but was still not at his level. The other two were not worth mentioning,since they barely passed the third stage.
Thinking about that, he smiled as he turned his head around. He saw Lennon and Benjamin bothsurrounded by red glows, and he immediately knew that they had been eliminated just as he expected.
The two of them had a strange look on their faces. Why were they looking at the peak of the slope with alook of anger and helplessness, but also with a trace of acceptance?
Were they reluctant to accept the fact that they were already eliminated from getting the rewards?
However, those thoughts did not last long, because he noticed that Jackie had disappeared. The maskedman was someone incredibly self-centered and had a big ego. He did not care much even for his fellowdisciples.
However, he cared particularly for that brat under whom he had suffered from multiple times. He wantednothing more than to have Jackie at the bottom of his feet, begging for his life.
When he saw that Jackie was not around, the masked man immediately looked around. Jackie wasnowhere behind or below…so where did he go?
Those thoughts did not dwell in his mind for too long when he felt something wrong. He followedBenjamin’s and Lennon’s gazes up 91 meters further on the slope. Jackie was standing there,unmovingly.
He… was already at the next spot!
How could Jackie already be at the 823-meter mark? What was he? Did he pass? How could he havepassed? He had actually reached the next stage first!
Those thoughts played in the masked man’s head, causing him to lose control of his expressions. Helooked like an angered lion and his breath became erratic, looking like he wanted to kill someone.
“How could this be! How did he do that?!”
Those words came out of clenched teeth, and his voice was incredibly hoarse.
When Lennon heard the masked man’s roar, his expression froze. He naturally knew of the grudge hissenior had with Jackie. With Jackie beating the masked man at every corner, it was no surprise that hewas angered.
Lennon gulped subconsciously, carefully saying, “He … He ran very quickly and avoided many attacks.After that…”
After that, he killed the six warriors and passed.
Of course, he did not dare to utter the last words. He was worried that the masked man would tear himapart if he did. To calm the masked man, he was forced to stammer out that Jackie had run away veryquickly.
However, those words did nothing to console the masked man. The masked man was already thoroughlycrazed at that moment. He had been pushed back by Jackie at every angle. Ever since he was born, hehad been a master among masters and was never behind everyone.
How could he not explode being beaten again and again by Jackie like that?
Chapter 2280 For a moment, all the masked man could feel was his anger boiling. It seemed like there was a volcanoerupting in his heart, and the lava had completely drowned all sense of reasoning he had. Lennon wasscared pale.
There were constant struggles within the Corpse Pavilion itself, and their schemes were much moreintense than regular clans. For the masked man to have been able to stand at the top like that, howcould he not be ruthless? There must have been countless Corpse Pavilion disciples that have died inhis hands.
Lennon might have a certain amount of talent as well, but he was nothing compared to the masked man.He very clearly remembered that the masked man had already entered the spring solidifying realm.However, to head into the Hidden Place for Resources, he had to suppress his level.
Even after going through so many hoops, he did not gain any advantages. It was definitely a huge blowto the masked man’s mental state.
“You… Just you wait!”
Those words were uttered by the masked man through clenched teeth. His eyes reddened as heviciously glared at Jackie’s straightened back.
“Ugh…” Graham spat out a mouthful of blood. He knelt on the floor with one leg as the final DivineWarrior was finally defeated. He let out a long breath as he pushed down the true energy that wasactivated in his body.
He passed!
After spitting out that mouthful of blood, he felt much better despite his depleted strength. Ever sincestarted walking up the Divine Void Slope, he had been fighting the whole way. Even though he did sit andrest occasionally, he was still in a fatigued state.
It had been an intense battle, and Graham could feel his blood curdling. He had some internal injuriesbut could still keep them under wraps. After he stood up, he heard a congratulatory voice,“Congratulations for passing, Graham.”
He did not even need to turn around to know that Benjamin was the one who said that. He took a deepbreath as he nodded. He then stood up and looked right over to the masked man. The masked manseemed like he was in a state of rage and was panting in anger.
Graham frowned, not understanding why he acted in such a way. When Benjamin saw Graham’sconfusion, he stammered, “Graham, look up.”
Graham looked up, just as Benjamin told him to, and noticed the green-robed man standing quietly at the823-meter mark like an immovable rock.
Graham was stunned, and he suddenly turned his head. He looked at Benjamin, who was still shroudedIn a red glow, and when Benjamin nodded reluctantly, Graham immediately understood.
He did not think too much of Jackie since he bore no grudges against the guy. Even though Jackie hadbeen neck-to-neck with him the whole way, he had never really bothered with Jackie.
Before the sixth stage started, he had agreed with the others that Jackie was just lucky to reach thatstate. Even though luck was important, skill was still what determined victory in the end.
Without skill, he would not have gone far and would have been eliminated at this stage. However, Jackiewas already at the 823 meter mark faster than they were. That was definitely a blow to those who lookeddown on Jackie.
“How did he do it… How!!” Graham’s tone was low as he blurted that incredulously. His entire bodytrembled when he recalled that the guy was only at the intermediate level of the innate stage.
Even though he had no grudges against Jackie, he was still filled with dissatisfaction and anger, feelinglike he had been beaten by someone beneath him.
The masked man heard Graham’s mutters, and his light tone was full of unrestrained anger, “This brat isvery durable and much stronger than you, so how could that not be possible?”
He planned on igniting Graham and Jackie’s relationship.
